"Sister, sister." Xiao Ning always repeated whenever she was afraid to speak, "He's back, he's back."
"Don't be afraid." Yu Hua put down the towel bag and held one with each hand. "It's not that he's back. He didn't knock on the door so softly. It's the neighbor who knocked on the door." She used some comfort in her voice.
Xiao An and Xiao Ning's hands were trembling slightly. It was their bodies that were shaking, causing their hands to tremble as well. Zi Hua's words had an effect, and the two of them stopped shaking so much.
A loud voice came from outside the door, "Hong Liang's wife, are you okay?" Then there was another knock on the door.
From her memory, Zihua heard who was outside the door, the neighbor across the door, Luo Caizao.
Luo Caizao didn't care about her out of kindness, she just came to watch the fun and throw in a few cheap words of comfort to compare her sense of superiority in life.
Fan Hongliang came back and made such a big noise, and the security door was not soundproof. How could Luo Cai not know what happened? It couldn't be more hypocritical to ask hypocritically, "Is everything okay?"
The original owner didn't want to get along with her neighbors and wouldn't offend her. Every time Luo Cai knocked on the door, she answered.
When Luo Cai saw the original owner's injuries, she would scream, but she never mentioned calling the police and going to the hospital. She always advised the original owner to look away and think more about the children. If Luo Cai turned away, she would have
Everyone knows how badly the original owner was beaten.
"Sister, it's Aunt Luo." Xiao An bit her lower lip, "I hate her. She always drags me and asks questions when she touches me."
Luo Cai has long been an annoying fly, and Zihua didn't want to respond. Luo Cai didn't give up until he knocked it open, "Hong Liang's wife, did Hong Liang hit you again? Open the door and I'll show you."
look."
The fly kept buzzing and wouldn't go away, which was very annoying. What made Zihua even more annoyed was that before Xiao An and Xiao Ning's inner fear was gone, Luo Caizao scared her again.
Zihua stood up, walked to the door and opened it.
Luo Cai had already seen Yuhua's swollen face and the two marks of the medicine applied on her, and her eyes were shining brightly, "Oh, what do you mean, how can you hit her in the face.
Hong Liang doesn't seem to be a very cruel person. Is he drunk or is he angry somewhere? Men are like this. They are very tired when they work outside, but when they come home they become more angry. Hong Liang's daughter-in-law, please be more considerate..."
"Stop it!" Zhou Hua yelled, and Luo Cai couldn't help but stop talking, and looked at Zhou Hua in surprise with her mouth open.
"Luo Caizao, you speak loud and clear and your calls are so affectionate. No wonder you have to call me Xiao Lan and always call me Hong Liang's wife. What is your relationship with Hong Liang?"
How do you know that Fan Hongliang is not a ruthless person? He has a habit of hitting people whenever he gets angry when he drinks. Why didn't I know? Only you, Luo Cai, knew this.
You want to take care of me, don't you? Take Fan Hongliang to your home and take care of him well. You don't have to find a reason to come over every time to see if your Hong Liang is tired. Now, your Hong Liang is not at home, so don't knock on the door anymore." Yu Hua said.
The sound spread throughout the building.
Luo Cai has been gossiping about others for a long time, so she should also taste the feeling of being tongue-tied by others.
She didn't believe that Luo Caizao's family didn't give some reaction.
"Bah!" Yuhua didn't give Luo Cai a chance to interrupt, and after speaking, she closed the door hard.
"Ah, I can't live anymore, Hong Liang... Xiao Lan is throwing dirty water like this -" Luo Cai had just howled, and the door of her house opened, and a sharp shout came from inside, "Get back here quickly
."
Luo Cai didn't dare not listen. She cursed, "Xiao, Lan, you deserve to be beaten" and ran back home.
…
Zihua closed the door and received two pairs of shining eyes.
She said to Xiao An and Xiao Ning, "You can't tolerate this kind of person. In the past, it was my sister who was wrong, because I thought it was not a good neighbor to offend. Now I understand, I can't tolerate anyone who has ill intentions."
them.
From now on, when you see Aunt Luo, ignore her and ignore her. If she dares to drag you, you will shout that she is a trafficker. When you get home, tell me and I will find a place for you."
She paid attention to Luo Caizao, and the purpose of chasing away the flies was secondary, but mainly to bring some pleasure to Xiao An and Xiao Ning, and to eliminate the fear in their hearts.
It also gave the two of them the impression that she had changed.
She will not do things according to Xiao Lan's temperament, so Xiao An and Xiao Ning should accept and get used to her changes as soon as possible.
The good thing is that the world has entered a period of great change, and no matter how she changes, people will consider it normal.
Luo Caizao's husband called Luo Caizao home just because she showed a change and was afraid that Luo Caizao would continue to offend her and bring disaster to his family.
Xiao An and Xiao Ning said in unison, "We listen to sister."
Zihua pulled the two of them inside and said, "You go and change clothes. We will go out and buy a birthday cake later."
Today is their tenth birthday, so the original owner made two bowls of shredded pork noodles as longevity noodles to celebrate their birthdays.
The original owner worked as a tally clerk in a convenience supermarket. Today she worked the morning shift. When she was about to get off work, she was asked to work overtime. She had no choice but to work overtime.
It's hard to find a job now. If she dares to say that she doesn't work overtime, she will be fired immediately, and there will be a lot of people to replace her.
Fan Hongliang usually came back at half past six, so she rushed back quickly, hoping to let Xiao An and Xiao Ning finish the noodles before Fan Hongliang came back.
It's not that the family can't afford meat anymore, it's that Fan Hongliang won't let her eat it for Xiao An and Xiao Ning.
Because Xiao An and Xiao Ning failed to come over with the money, Fan Hongliang fell out.
When the Xiao family's parents were rich, Fan Hongliang had a different look. He always coaxed and praised Xiao An and Xiao Ning, and for those who didn't know, he thought the two siblings were his biological sisters and brothers.
The Xiao family's parents were not stingy and subsidized Xiao Lan and Fan Hongliang a lot of money.
In those two years, Fan Hongliang did not attack Xiao Lan again, and the number of times he even got angry at her was much less.
Xiao Lan thought that Fan Hongliang had improved and his life would continue like this, but something unexpected happened. More than a year ago, Xiao's parents were in a car accident and both died.
The Xiao parents made money by working as contractors in those two years. After the real estate industry was not booming, the Xiao parents did not continue to work. Instead, they returned to their hometown, contracted a piece of mountain farmland, and started a family farm.
The family farm invested a lot of money up front, and most of the money they earned was invested in it.
Unexpectedly, things are unpredictable and there was a car accident.
Four people died in that car accident, and one was seriously injured. The driver was Xiao's father. After the Xiao family's money was paid to three families, there was nothing left.
Xiao Lan's grandparents are no longer here.
Grandma is old and relies on Xiao Lan's uncle for support, and is unable to raise Xiao An and Xiao Ning.
Even if her relatives were willing, Xiao Lan didn't feel comfortable handing over Xiao An and Xiao Ning to those people, so she brought Xiao An and Xiao Ning back.
The mountain forest and farmland originally contracted by the Xiao family's parents can get back part of the capital if it is transferred.
Although it is only a part, it is still a large number.
But a sudden change occurred, and the mountains, forests and farmland were within the scope of the change, so it was impossible to get the money back.
