Before I could get angry, my grandma came up from behind and looked at the little girl, "What are you talking about, kid? We are not beggars."
"What's wrong?" Dad parked the car and walked in. Looking at the people in the yard, he couldn't help but ask.
"Uncle!" the little girl shouted, stepped forward and hugged her father's arm, pointing at my grandma and me, "Uncle, look, the beggars are here again. Didn't they just come yesterday, an old man and a young man?"
"
Dad's face stiffened for a moment and he looked at her, "An Qi, they are different from those who came yesterday. She is your sister, Sister Qiaoqiao, as I told you."
"An Qi, what's wrong?!" Another woman came out of the house and glanced at my grandma and me. "Hey, isn't it aunt? An Qi, are you talking nonsense again?"
She walked up to me and looked at me, "Mom, is this Qiaoqiao? She's grown so big." As she said that, she took An Qi's hand and pointed at me, "This is your sister Qiaoqiao, do you know?
I grew up in a rural area, so you can’t talk nonsense, you know.”
Then he looked at his grandma and smiled apologetically, "Auntie, I'm sorry, if my girl sees anyone wearing a little earthy clothes, she must be begging for food. Mainly, there have been a lot of people coming to beg for food recently. I'm sorry.
."
The grandma's expression was a little ugly, but she still nodded, "Are you a kid? I didn't expect this to be An Qi. You are Xinyun, right? I remember seeing you once when Juan'er got married." Then she said something.
My hand said: "Jiaolong, this is your aunt, the sister of my sister-in-law."
I dare to say that I am very unhappy now. The conversation between Auntie Xinyun and Auntie Xin is too different. However, since my grandma and father are here, I can only call out "Auntie" lukewarmly.
Xinyun looked at me and smiled, "Hey, my aunt will give you a red envelope later. Don't tell me. This Qiao Qiao's big eyes do look like my family's ambition. It's just that the rural children are too tanned. Auntie."
Ah, dress up a little and look like a little boy."
Dad took a step forward and looked at her, "Where's Mom."
Xinyun glanced into the room and said, "Oh, I seem to have gone out for a walk, but I'm not here."
An Qi looked at me and said, "Are you my sister?"
I nodded, "Yeah."
"How much older are you than me? Why are you so tall? You look like a boy." She continued.
"This kid! What are you talking about? Sister Qiaoqiao is only one year older than you." Xinyun pulled her, "Go back to the house!"
Then he looked at grandma, "Let's go, aunt, go into the house, what are you doing standing here? Go and see Huijuan. The eldest son she gave birth to is great. My mother was so excited yesterday that she didn't dare to tell her about the fine."
She has tens of thousands."
"Sister, why are you talking about this?" Dad looked a little unhappy.
Xinyun glanced at him, "Isn't this just chatter? Who wouldn't feel bad for spending tens of thousands? It could have been saved. This is good. Maybe we will have to spend hundreds of thousands more in the future. Auntie, who do you think will follow?"
I'm angry. We are all a family and we all know that this money didn't come from the strong wind, don't you think?"
Grandma looked at her and raised her chin slightly, "It's hard to make money, but the couple chose to have a second child on their own, and no one forced them. Since they can afford to pay the fine, it shows that they have the financial ability."
, I won’t interfere with your own family affairs, and you don’t need to talk to me about it, Jiaolong, let’s go into the house.”
With that said, grandma took my hand and walked directly in.
"Hey, why do we call it our own family's affairs? Qiaoqiao is also a member of our family. We have to let her know how much money the family has spent because of her." Aunt Xinyun continued to say while standing there.
Non-stop.
"Okay, eldest sister, stop talking!" Dad shouted at her and followed me and grandma, "Mom, my eldest sister is like this, don't worry about it."
Grandma waved her hand, "I thought about it when I came here. It's just that Jiaolong is big. I'm fine. She's distracted. Forget it. Let's go see Huijuan. Which room is she in?"
I was really in a bad mood. I didn't want to stay here from the moment I walked in. After entering my parents' room, I saw my mother sitting on the bed with a towel wrapped around her head, and a very young child lying on the bed.
As soon as we came in, she said to her father, "Why are you shouting after the eldest sister? The eldest sister is right. This second child was originally fined, as if our family is rich."
"Grandma, I need to go to the bathroom." I don't want to stay here anymore, not even for a minute.
Before grandma could respond, my father said directly to the side, "Qiaoqiao, you need to go to the toilet. There are ones in the house and in the yard. You can use this one in the house."
"I'm going to the yard." After saying that, I picked up my feet and left.
When I was going out, I heard my mother say from behind, "Look, is this because of your temper? It's not polite to call someone when you see me, and I don't know who I look like."
I didn't even look back. As soon as I walked into the toilet in the yard, I saw An Qi outside talking to Aunt Xinyun, "Mom, she is the child of my uncle's family. Then why don't she live at home? Why are she still staying in the countryside?"
"
"No one wants to see her. Okay, just stay away from her. Don't ask anything else. She will stay for a few days and then leave after your grandma has passed her birthday. Stay away from her, you rural Mi Tai."
"Well, I don't want to play with her. She looked at me so fiercely just now."
"She still dares to be mean to you? She can't compete with you, you know. She is the star of the Lin family. Okay, come into the house with mom, and mom will wash the fruit for you to eat. Let's go."
…
When I came out of the toilet, I felt like crying for a moment. I turned around and thought I would just go back. Even if I walked back to our village, I didn't want to stay here anymore.
Who knew that when I turned around, I said "Oh my God!" and my heart almost jumped out of my chest in fear.
There was an old lady standing at the door. She was as thin as a skeleton, and she was glaring at me with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek.
I forced myself to calm down, glanced at the shadow under her, and felt relieved. It must be a human being. Before I could say anything, she opened her mouth, "Are you Lin Qiao?"
I nodded, and the more I looked at her, the more I felt that something was wrong with her. Her facial features were all pulled down, and her face was pale and blue. No matter how I looked at it, I was scared. Moreover, her whole body exuded a cold and cold aura. It was summer, and I got up.
Got goosebumps.
"Jiaolong, have you finished using the toilet?" Dad called after me, and then walked quickly to my side, "Mom, you are back, Qiaoqiao, this is your milk, have you called someone?
Call me grandma."
The old lady looked at me with a cold face, and I hummed twice like a mosquito, "Grandma."
She didn't respond, she just glanced at me, probably dissatisfied with my performance, and looked at her father, "Is her grandma here?"
Dad nodded, "Here we are, at Huijuan's house."
I didn't dare to look at her. It was the first time I felt scared when looking at a living person. Then I watched her walk past me and go directly into the house.
Dad looked at me and said, "Jiaolong, come into the house."
I shook my head. I didn't even dare to go in when the old lady was in the house. I knew my grandma didn't want to see me, but she looked so scary, in a way that I couldn't describe.
Just as the father was about to continue opening his mouth, he heard the cry of the child coming from the house. He was stunned for a moment, and then ran towards the inside in large strides.
I felt chills all over, and listening to the baby's cry, I suddenly had a bad premonition.
