The crystal clear water channel flows slowly, emitting beautiful notes one after another.
The green grass is like a plush carpet, swaying gently with the breeze.
In the golden rice fields in the distance, farmers wearing straw hats are busy with their heads down.
"Mom, are we going to live here from now on?"
The little woman leads the little girl while walking on the concrete path in the countryside.
The little girl looked at the pleasant and beautiful scenery in front of her, her eyes full of yearning.
"Um!"
Looking at her daughter's expectant eyes.
The little woman hummed softly and made a decision in her heart. Even if her uncle and uncle were not willing to take in the mother and daughter, she would still find a way to stay in this village.
Walk all the way to the entrance of the village.
Many villagers noticed the little woman and her daughter and looked over curiously. The little woman and the little girl couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Lian'er, don't be nervous, my mother is here!!"
The little woman could feel that the little girl was nervous and scared. Although she was a little nervous in her heart, she still forced herself to express relief.
"Um!"
The little girl hugged the little woman's hand tightly and lowered her head timidly, not daring to look at the eyes of the people around her.
"Let's go ask for directions first!"
The little woman took a deep breath, held the little girl's hand and walked towards the big locust tree.
Along the way, mother and daughter had seen too many supercilious looks.
The indifference of her husband's family, the dislike of her mother's family, and the strange looks from the people around her, women are contemptuous and disgusting, and men are lustful and greedy.
Some villages are even afraid that they will ruin the reputation of their village and do not allow them to enter the village to rest.
So, there's nothing to be afraid of.
…
At this moment, many villagers sitting in the big locust tree were resting, and they all looked at the mother and daughter who were approaching.
"This girl looks quite strange."
"I saw that it was a desperate orphan and widowed mother from another village. She came here after hearing that she could make a living in our village."
"Not to mention how handsome this little lady is."
"Tsk, tsk, Wang Laosi, be careful if I tell your wife what you said!" said the woman on the side, cracking melon seeds.
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, I can't keep my mouth shut for a while, Sanniang, please don't tell my wife!" Wang Laosi quickly apologized with a smile.
All the villagers around him suddenly laughed.
Who would have thought that Wang Laosi, who always gambled and beat his wife, would now be a strict wife.
"Brothers and sisters-in-law, I want to ask you someone!"
At this time, the little woman led the little girl to the big locust tree. The little woman smiled, and her delicate face and eyebrows gave people a different kind of charm.
"Just ask whoever you want to ask!"
The young woman looked around and saw that the person speaking was a plump sister-in-law.
At this moment, the sister-in-law put the finished melon seed peels in her palms and looked at them with a kind smile.
"It's like this. My great-uncle is from this village. His name is Wang Sanxi. Do you know him?"
The little woman breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to the sister-in-law, and smiled lightly.
"Wang Sanxi? Why haven't I heard of it?"
The plump sister-in-law frowned and looked at Wang Laosi beside her, "Wang Laosi, are you looking for your third brother?"
"Don't talk nonsense, my third brother's name is not called Wang Gangzhu!" Wang Laosi said with a black line on his forehead.
"It's not your brother. He's also looking for your Wang family. You must know him!"
The plump sister-in-law didn't care at all.
"But I've never heard of anyone with this name in the clan!"
Wang Laosi frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head.
Don't say that Wang Laosi has never heard of Wang Sanxi's name.
Even many men and women around me had never heard of it. They all shook their heads and said that they had never heard of this name.
"Impossible, people have already come to the village, how can something be wrong!"
The plump sister-in-law looked at the little woman in confusion, "Sister, are you looking for the wrong village?"
"There's no mistake, my great-uncle is from Nomo Village!"
The little woman did not hesitate. Her grandmother often mentioned things about Nomo Village to her, so she remembered it very clearly.
"Why don't you ask the old village chief? He is the patriarch of my Wang family and more people know about it!" Wang Laosi said.
"That's the only way it can be!"
"I seem to have some impression of this name!"
Suddenly, a tall man spoke up.
Everyone around looked at him, and even Wang Laosi was curious about who Wang Sanxi was.
"I remember Laigen's father's name was that!" The tall man scratched his head and laughed, "I know because Laigen mentioned it to me when we were drinking."
"My third uncle?"
Wang Laosi was a little surprised.
He really didn't know about Wang Sanxi, but he knew about Laigen. Laigen's name was Wang Laigen, and he and he were brothers of the same root.
"So you are here to see the Gen family. So, Wang Laosi, you and this girl are related." The plump sister-in-law also suddenly realized.
The little woman couldn't help but look up at Wang Laosi. Her first impression was that this man was not a good person.
"It's true that a flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple. My family doesn't recognize my own family. How do I call my sister?" Wang Laosi suddenly frowned.
"My surname is Yang!"
The little woman couldn't help but take a step back subconsciously.
"So it's a girl from the Yang family. My third uncle's house is quite close to here. I'll take you there!" Wang Laosi rubbed his hands and said with an apologetic smile.
The little woman hesitated, and even the little girl next to her was so frightened by Wang Laosi's appearance that she hid behind the little woman.
"Let me do it!"
How could the plump sister-in-law fail to see the little woman's concerns? She felt a little dumbfounded and said something.
Wang Laosi looked confused. This was his relative. He was right to lead the way.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
The little woman quickly leaned over and thanked her.
Afterwards, the little woman took the little girl and said goodbye to the villagers, then followed the plump sister-in-law and left.
Wait until the little woman goes away.
Wang Laosi looked puzzled, "You are obviously related to me, but I am not happy to lead the way!"
When everyone around heard this, they couldn't help laughing.
"Don't even look at what you look like. It's pretty good if you don't scare anyone. How dare you lead the way?" At this time, a man laughed loudly.
"I don't like hearing what you are saying. I'm shabby, but I'm better than Song Lezi!" Wang Laosi was unconvinced.
…
at the same time.
"What do you call this sister-in-law?" the little woman asked.
"My surname is Sun, and people in the village usually call me Sanniang!"
Sun Sanniang smiled and said: "The person who is related to you just now is called Wang Laosi. Don't think he looks very good, but he is famous in the village for loving his wife!"
Known for loving his wife?
The little woman thought about it carefully.
Although the person before did look a bit sinister.
But the way the other person looked at her was clear and calm, not as greedy and evil as those men looked at her in the past.
"This is your daughter, what's her name?" Sun Sanniang looked at the little girl and smiled.
"My name is Fan Xiaolian!" the little girl said sweetly.
“So sensible!”
Sun Sanniang smiled and reached out to touch the little girl's head.
