Faced with Mrs. Ruan's crying, Yan Chunyan didn't feel anything. Her eyes were red and she still said unyieldingly: "When you and your sister-in-law came back, you brought so much money, but I saw it all. You were sneaky
, but you are reluctant to give me a penny. Now you move when you say you want to move, settle here when you say you want to settle here, and build a three-inch courtyard when you say you want to. Do you know that I am still worried about moving to
Go to Yangjia Village and you don’t have money to buy land or build a house? Since you are so rich, what’s wrong with giving me some broth? You have to give me some broth if you want to eat delicious food!"
If it was just Yan Chunyan stealing money, Yan Shiqing would be rude to her.
But now that she heard her mentioning the past, and that Mrs. Ruan and her adoptive mother Suyun had done too much for her, Yan Shiqing could only stand aside with her head lowered and remain silent.
This was a matter between mother and daughter, and she, an "outsider" with no blood relationship at all, was not allowed to interfere.
Mrs. Ruan still cried loudly, and Mrs. Ruan trembled. She lit the cigarette stick with trembling hands and took a deep breath.
Maybe he sucked too hard and couldn't help but cough wildly.
In the silent space, apart from Ruan Laoba's coughing, there was the sound of Ruan Old Mrs. Ruan sobbing. Occasionally, a warm breeze that did not belong to this season would blow in the air.
After Ruan Laoba took two more puffs of dry cigarette, he said seriously: "Chunyan, put down the money and go back. Don't mention this matter again in the future. It has not been easy for your mother these years. She didn't mean it."
"Brother!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ruan gave a trembling cry.
Ruan Laoba stepped forward and helped her up: "Stop crying, your eldest brother knows that you are wronged, and it is your eldest brother who can't help you!"
Mrs. Ruan burst into tears again, crying like a child, which made everyone present feel sour in their hearts!
Yan Chunyan was at a loss for words. In her opinion, her mother had always been strong. Even when her father had an accident and her mother came back, she never cried.
When I cried before, it was just a feeling of anger, but now it was a real cry of grievance, as if I wanted to cry out all the grievances I had suffered for many years.
"Ms. Xiangtao, please return the money to my aunt!"
Like Yan Chunyan, Ruan Feng had rarely seen this aunt, and only occasionally heard about it from his parents.
Later, when she came back, she only saw him briefly once.
His father always said that he owed his life to his aunt, so he asked him to marry his aunt's cousin and treat his cousin well all his life, which he did.
He didn't have deep feelings for this aunt, so he naturally stood by his wife's side in everything.
Now seeing his aunt crying so sadly, his first reaction was to ask his wife to return the money. If she wanted it, he would earn it later.
Yan Chunyan felt sad, but the resentment accumulated over the years could not be let go overnight or even if her mother cried.
She still covered her sleeves and lowered her head in silence.
"Chunyan, put down the money, do you hear me?"
Yan Chunyan tilted her head and turned the back of her head towards him, pretending not to hear.
After she had cried enough, Mrs. Ruan said to Yan Shiqing with a hoarse voice and as if all her strength had been drained from her body: "Qing'er, get out of the way. If she wants it, give it to her!"
When she said this, she wiped her face, gritted her teeth and looked at Yan Chunyan: "Take the money and go. From now on, you and I will never be sworn in! And those words just now, I don't want to hear them from you again.
If you say it here, maybe you can use your tongue for a while, but it will bring you disaster, so you can take care of it yourself."
When the people present heard what Mrs. Ruan said, they still didn't quite understand what it meant, but they all made up their minds to remember what they heard that night in their hearts.
When Yan Chunyan heard what Mrs. Ruan said, she bit her lip and looked up at Mrs. Ruan.
But except for the faint light from the surrounding lanterns, the yard was pitch dark, and she couldn't see her mother at all.
After thinking for a while, she finally stamped her feet, turned around and left.
When Ruan Laoba saw this, he sighed deeply, reached out and patted Mrs. Ruan on the shoulder, and whispered: "She has been like this since she was a child. She is said to be spoiled, and her intentions are not bad. Maybe she is still complaining in her heart.
You mother, you ignored her all those years. Don't think too much, I will advise her. She said she will move to Yangjiacun tomorrow, you... I'm sorry, brother! Take good care of yourself in the future.
, I see that the little girl has grown up now and has an idea. You just need to listen to her more in the future."
Ruan Laoba's voice was very low, but both Yan Shiqing and Xiaowa heard it clearly. They changed their previous bad impression of the old man and took a new look at him.
Mrs. Ruan held back her tears, wiped the corners of her eyes, and nodded: "Qing'er and I settled here. If my eldest brother has anything to do over there, I'll go find Mr. Cai and Mr. Wu. They are older.
They don’t want to move. It’s going to rain today, and there are a lot of things to do at home, so I won’t keep my eldest brother.”
Ruan Laoba nodded, took his coir raincoat and bamboo hat, and left with Ruan Feng.
Seeing this, the remaining villagers also left one after another, except for Ruan Yang's family of four.
Mrs. Ruan was sitting in the hall, her eyes red and silent. Ruan Yang and his son looked at each other in confusion. They wanted to ask about things clearly, but they didn't know how to speak.xdw8
Youhua took her daughter to clean up in the kitchen. When she saw Yan Shiqing come in, she pushed her out.
In the hall, after hesitating for a moment, Ruan Yang couldn't help but ask: "Cousin, are you in any trouble?"
Mrs. Ruan looked up at him and shook her head: "It's nothing, you don't have to worry. It's getting late, you should go back and rest early!"
Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, Ruan Yang thought for a while and said, "In that case, let's go back first. It's going to rain today, but we don't know when it will rain. Please be careful at night. If it rains too much, it will rain."
If there is a water leak, go to my place to take shelter. No one has lived here for more than three years, and the roof has not been cleaned up, so I am afraid it will leak. By the way, you'd better find a place to put the food you brought. Don't
If water gets in, it will be all in vain."
When Yan Shiqing entered the house, she happened to hear Ruan Yang say this and take Ruan Ansheng away.
"Cousin!"
Yan Shiqing shouted, and when Ruan Yang and his son stopped, she said: "Cousin, if you heard this tonight, I hope you won't tell anyone. And the uncles and aunts just now also asked them not to tell anyone. Some of them
It will not do you any good to know about it, but it may cause death."
Ruan Yang, who was originally feeling warm from drinking, shuddered when he heard these words: "Poetic girl, this, this..."
Yan Shiqing knew that he was the head of the village and was afraid that he would bring harm to the village. She said, "As long as they don't go out and talk nonsense, cousin, everything will be fine. Trust me!"
