Ye Wan was in poor health and had difficulty moving. Coupled with depression, she died of illness on the way to the farm.
It was the sixth day of the first lunar month when Su Yun and the others received the news from Mo Huaiyu.
They were just packing their things at home to go to the city tomorrow.
This time they took the old lady with them and planned to stay in the city for a long time.
I probably don’t come back to my old house very much except for burning paper and sweeping graves during festivals.
Su Yun packed some things that the old lady was reluctant to part with, and Mo Huaiyu walked in from outside and informed them of Ye Wan's passing.
Su Yun immediately looked at Xiao Lin aside.
Xiao Lin noticed it, raised his head and gave her a reassuring smile.
"I'll go with you."
He stood up and said to Mo Huaiyu.
"Brother Lin, I'll come with you..." Su Yun spoke up, but Xiao Lin raised her hand to refuse, "It's okay, Officer Mo and I will go there. You pack your things at home with grandma, I'll be back in a moment."
He didn't want her to go with him.
Su Yun was a little worried, but couldn't express it.
"Then...be careful on the road...grandma and I will wait for you to come back at home."
"Um."
Xiao Lin agreed solemnly, turned around and left with Mo Huaiyu.
After he left, the house seemed to feel a lot empty.
Su Yun walked into the house, and the old lady came out carrying a bamboo basket.
"Xiaoyun, let's go to your grandfather and your father and talk to them about this matter."
Although Ye Wanluo deserved the result she had today, the old lady was a kind person, and so was Xiao Lin.
Even if they don't say it, they will still feel a little sad and uncomfortable in their hearts.
Su Yun cannot empathize with them, but she will try her best to comfort them.
She nodded in agreement and followed the old lady to the cemetery.
When they arrived at the cemetery, the old lady leaned in front of the tombstone and chanted what happened along with the tombstone.
Su Yun stayed by the side without saying a word. By the time the old lady came back to her senses after talking, nearly an hour had passed.
After having a good talk, the old lady felt much happier. She stood up and went home with Su Yun.
A while after they arrived home, Xiao Lin also came back.
His expression looked normal, just like when nothing happened.
Su Yun didn't ask him how he handled Ye Wan's death. She poured him a cup of hot water. Xiao Lin didn't take it, but hugged him tightly in her arms.
He buried his head in the crook of her shoulder and breathed deeply in the faint soapy scent of her hair.
"young married woman…"
"I am here."
"You will always stay with me, right?"
There was a little uncertainty in Xiao Lin's voice.
Su Yun burst out laughing, raised her hand and pinched the soft flesh around his waist, and said angrily, "Silly, if I don't accompany my own man, who will I accompany? There is no other brother to let me."
Come with me!"
"You are not allowed to think about other brothers."
The aggrieved puppy just now turned into a jealous wolf in a second, making Su Yun giggle.
"Okay, the water I poured for you is cold. Do you want to drink it first? After you drink it, we will see if there is anything to pack. After that, we will set off."
"good."
Xiao Lin's expression returned to normal, and his face regained its former look.
Su Yun did not ask about what happened today. She believed that given time, Xiao Lin would definitely tell her.
The family of three packed their things, and Yu Hu, who was going to the city with them, also came over with his luggage.
Su Yun asked Xiao Lin to take the things into the car, and then went to help the old lady herself.
"Grandma, let's go."
Mrs. Xiao reluctantly looked at the house where she had lived for most of her life, and nodded slowly.
It was hard to leave her hometown, but she also knew that her two children were working hard outside and she would only become a burden to them if she stayed alone in the countryside.
She had to go to the city with them, live with them, wash clothes, cook and clean the house for the children.
If you can help share a little bit, do your best to share a little bit.
When the day comes when she can no longer work, she believes that her grandchildren and their wives will not leave her alone.
The old lady is very open-minded and she can figure something out very quickly.
If Ye Wan could have such a big heart as the old lady, she would not have become depressed and ill and finally died.
It's just that the deceased is gone, and Su Yun and the others will no longer hold grudges against Ye Wan.
Speaking of which, Ye Wan was just a poor person who was used by her parents from beginning to end.
In this era of relatively limited information, it is normal for girls who have only attended elementary school for a few years to be easily taken advantage of by their parents.
Like Ye Wan, she has been used her whole life...
Su Yun shook her head and stopped thinking about her.
"Grandma, let's go. It's more comfortable for you to sit in front."
They had to pick up Zhao Meiyu and the others soon, and the seat at the back might be a bit crowded for four people, so it would be more appropriate for the elderly to sit in the front.
The old lady had no objection to Su Yun's arrangement.
Xiao Lin, on the other hand, felt that it was aggrieved that his wife was crowded in the back with others.
He thought for a while that in order to prevent such a thing from happening, he would have to buy a wider car in the future, like the army's jeep, which could seat seven or eight people.
That way, no matter how many people there are, his wife can sit next to him without being crowded.
Su Yun didn't know that one small thing reminded Xiao Lin of so many things. When they were leaving the village, they picked up Zhao Meiyu and Gu Jinnian who were waiting there.
The two of them didn't bring much with them, and a large part of them were materials for the exam that Gu Jinnian was going to take.
Su Yun looked at Gu Jinnian's appearance as a frail scholar, and a bold idea gradually came to her mind.
When they returned to their hometown to celebrate the New Year, there were only the couple in the car, and Su Yun slept all the way home.
But this time I went to the city. It was different. There was a bus full of people and it was very lively.
Su Yun sat next to Zhao Meiyu. The position was a bit crowded and she couldn't sleep.
The few of them kept chatting, and it seemed that they arrived in the city in no time.
Su Yun first asked Xiao Lin to send Zhao Meiyu, his wife, and Yu Hu to their house on Jiefang Street.
The house I bought with Wang Hua was a two-story building with several rooms, which could be temporarily used as a dormitory for Zhao Meiyu and the others.
Zhao Meiyu originally said that she was going to find a place to rent a house outside, but Su Yun said that her employees were all covered, and there was no exception for Zhao Meiyu.
Zhao Meiyu couldn't defeat Su Yun.
She knew that Su Yun was trying to save money for them, but Su Yun helped her so much that she was embarrassed to accept Su Yun's kindness.
"Okay, we are not outsiders, why are we talking so much? Maybe when your Jinnian is admitted to college in the future, you will help us in turn!"
Su Yuntian smiled and took Zhao Meiyu's arm, asking her not to be so polite.
Zhao Meiyu could only nod in embarrassment, and asked Su Yun: "When will I start working?"
Su Yun knew that Zhao Meiyu felt uneasy because she had no job, so she took Zhao Meiyu to the front and opened the door of the roast duck shop in front with the key.
"When the time comes, are you here to learn from Xiaodao and his wife? When I find a new store, you can go over and become the store manager or something else."
"Ah? Store manager? Xiaoyun, I..."
"Don't say you can't do it!" Su Yun looked at Zhao Meiyu with a smile.
Zhao Meiyu really couldn't say that she couldn't do it, so she nodded with a heartbeat, "Okay, I'm sure I can do it."
"That's good."
Su Yun gave Zhao Meiyu and the others a few more words, and planned to return to Tianshui Hutong first. After all, there was an old lady who hadn't been settled yet!
When she turned to go out, Gu Jinnian's voice sounded behind her.
"Su Yun."
Su Yun turned around and glanced at Gu Jinnian with a blink of an eye.
Gu Jinnian coughed with a reddish face, "Um... I can settle accounts... Do you need... a settler?"
Here it comes, one more update.
Ye Wan was offline.
In fact, although Ye Wan, the mother-in-law, is very annoying, she is actually a pitiful person. Specifically, she should be a tragic existence.
A tragedy of that era.
She doesn't have much education. She was brainwashed by her parents' family since she was a child. She has a cowardly temperament and low self-esteem. She thinks that what her parents tell her is the true truth.
Later, after she got married, the man protected her so well that her character remained the same for decades without any growth at all.
In fact, she can't make changes, and death is the best ending!
