Gu Anran was afraid that her mother-in-law would suffer a loss, so she took the sickle hanging on the wall and followed Wang Shuzhen out.
When I followed him out, I saw that the person outside was from the village. It was none other than Zhao Caiyun's mother, Liu Yufen.
When Liu Yufen saw Wang Shuzhen and Gu Anran's posture, she was so frightened that she took a few steps back and waved her hands with a white face, "I don't want to do anything bad, I just want to see Leilei. Yesterday I heard that Leilei was found."
Liu Yufen picked up the basket of eggs she had placed at the door, lowered her head and said, "I originally wanted to put the eggs at the door and go back. I know you don't want to see me. But I just heard Leile crying, so I just
I lay on the wall and took a few peeks. I, I, I, will go back right away. Please accept this egg. This is a little bit of my heart. Don’t dislike it."
Wang Shuzhen frowned and refused, and Gu Anran stepped forward and took the basket of eggs from Liu Yufen's hand.
"Thank you for caring about Leilei. We have accepted the eggs. You don't have to be like this. Our Mo family knows right from wrong, and we will not impose our resentment against Zhao Caiyun on you."
Liu Yufen looked at Gu Anran gratefully, "Mo Bei's wife, you are indeed a person who has read a lot and is very thoughtful. That stinky girl harmed others and herself, so she deserved to be arrested! Fortunately, she didn't add up her mistakes to others.
Leile... alas..."
Gu Anran nodded, "Even if she still retains this little bit of sanity, if she really became the murderer, she wouldn't be able to survive."
Liu Yufen hesitated and hesitated to speak.
Gu Anran pointed toward the room, "It's getting cold outside. If you have anything to say, you can go inside and say it."
"No need to enter the house." Liu Yufen rubbed her hands uneasily and asked bravely, "I just want to ask, how many years will that dead girl of mine be imprisoned?"
"Almost ten years. If she behaves well, she may be released a year or two early. If you want to see her, you can go see her."
"I'm just asking casually. Why do I want to see her? I wish I had never given birth to that stinky girl in my life!" Li Yufen gritted her teeth angrily, "It would be better if she was imprisoned for the rest of her life!"
This is what being a mother means, no matter how harsh your words are, you still think about it in your heart.
After Liu Yufen left, Wang Shuzhen sighed, "When I first saw Liu Yufen, I really wanted to throw all the eggs in her face. But then when I heard that you were wrong about Zhao Caiyun and not Liu Yufen, I thought about it.
Yes. Liu Yufen is unlucky enough to have given birth to such a daughter."
Yes. She single-handedly affected the lives of the whole family. The house burned down, her reputation was ruined, and her brother had no hope of getting a wife. The family was crowded into a small house made of broken wood, which could not keep out the rain in summer and winter.
She couldn't withstand the cold. She caused misery to the whole family.
Gu Anran suddenly discovered that there was a kraft paper envelope underneath the egg. She took out the envelope and opened it. There were some crumpled money inside, one was ten yuan, two were five yuan, and the rest were one yuan and two yuan.
.
In addition to the money, there was a handwritten letter with two crooked lines on the paper.
Some words are also spelled incorrectly, so you need to guess from the words before and after.
The letter read: I'm sorry, it's our old Zhao family who has failed the old Mo family. Although the money is not much, it is all the surplus we have earned from doing odd jobs and selling crops in the past few months. Use this money to buy something for Leilei
Take some supplements!
Gu Anran counted the money and found that the total amount was less than forty yuan.
She handed the money and the letter to Wang Shuzhen. Wang Shuzhen looked at it in silence for a while and then said: "A few days ago, the village chief used a loudspeaker to call on everyone to donate some money to Lao Zhao's family so that he can build a new house.
Get up, the weather will get cold in the future, and the house their family built with discarded wood cannot protect them from the wind and snow. It is said that this year will be a cold winter, and people will freeze to death if they live in that kind of house."
"Does anyone donate?"
"Where can I find it? Whoever works hard can satisfy the family with food, clothing and warmth all year round. It would be great!"
Wang Shuzhen stood the shovel against the wall and said to Gu Anran, "I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some cinnamon. I'll add some to the stew later to make it more flavorful."
"Okay." Gu Anran nodded, "Then I will go to my sister-in-law's room to accompany Leilei."
Not long after Wang Shuzhen went out, the loudspeaker in the village rang.
The village chief's somewhat excited voice came out through the loudspeaker: Attention, villagers! Now let me tell you something about a good person and a good deed. Just now someone anonymously slipped an envelope through the crack of the door, with forty yuan in it.
I will donate the 40 yuan to Liu Yufen's family tomorrow. I would like to commend this villager who donated money, and I also hope that more villagers can lend a helping hand to help Liu Yufen's family.
Forty yuan? Gu Anran couldn’t help but laugh. This was her mother-in-law who added a few yuan and collected the whole sum and returned it to Liu Yufen’s family!
The sound of the trumpet woke Leilei up. He opened his eyes and saw Gu Anran lying half beside him, looking at him. He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and shouted in a soft voice, "Second Aunt."
"Hey." Gu Anran rubbed Mo Lei's head and asked with a gentle smile, "Have you slept well? Are you still sleepy?"
"I'm not sleepy anymore." Leilei shook his head, raised his arms, kicked his legs, stretched and sat up.
Like her, Leilei had no suitable winter clothes to change into. His cotton-padded clothes from last year looked smaller this year.
There were no children's clothes in Yang Tao's store. She went to the children's clothing stores in the town early in the morning to search for them. Later, she would bring back their well-fitting cotton clothes.
Leilei wanted to get up and go to the yard to finish his work, so Gu Anran had to put him in last year's little clothes and make do with it for a while.
Because she was worried that Leilei would get cold if he played in the yard with one of his ankles and wrists exposed, Gu Anran played a chasing game with him. Every time Leilei was about to catch up with her, she would pretend to be frightened and suddenly
Try your best to avoid Leile's capture.
Leilei had a lot of fun and giggled.
After a while, Gu Anran was running out of breath. She slowed down and pretended to be caught by him, and then said as if begging for mercy, "Leilei is so powerful! Second Aunt can't run anymore. Let's go inside and drink some water."
Would you like to rest for a while?"
Leilei was having fun and didn't want to go back to the house in the excitement. He shook his head and refused, "I don't want to go back to the house, I want to play for a while longer."
"Then...okay. Let's play for a little while longer."
"Yeah! Just for a little while."
It rained yesterday, and the ground in the yard was filled with mud that was sticky to feet.
So when Zhang Li was pushing his bicycle and standing in front of her house, he saw that Gu Anran and Leilei were both wearing ill-fitting clothes, and their clothes were still dirty with mud.
Zhang Li shouted at the top of his voice, "Mo Bei's wife, I have something to tell you! Come out for a moment!"
