If it weren't for the difficult days that had polished off your temper and edges, how could you be so submissive and swallow your anger?
Tan won the quarrel and made Yang Huamei bow to her, but there was no joy in her heart that a winner should have. On the contrary, it was even more uncomfortable than losing the quarrel.
But people are also strange. From Tan's point of view, she felt extremely distressed at this moment. She felt that the girl she was protecting in the palm of her hand had fallen into an abyss and she couldn't pull her out.
But from Yang Huamei's point of view, she didn't think so.
Although my father-in-law is getting older and can no longer do farm work, he can still help for a few more years.
Although Shuan Zi is a tuberculosis patient, Ben Ben can still carry his pole and earn a lot of money easily by working in the school.
Even though Dabai is a little careless about his family, Dabai at least has his own shop, can support himself, and has dignity.
Moreover, she always believed that Dabai still cared about this family deep down in his heart. Humans are not beasts, right? It's just that this family is too poor to help their children, but they can't hold them back, right?
As for Xiao Hei, he is heartless and like an immature child, but sometimes he is still understanding and considerate. For example, Xiao Hei poured her a bowl of tea last night and said that her mother was tired of cooking.
This time he also took the initiative to come and visit Grandma Ga and his third uncle and three aunts...
No matter how you say it, Xiao Hei is still very filial, so Yang Huamei often lies in bed and talks to Wang Shuanzi, and still feels very satisfied with her current living situation.
So when she heard Tan's words while crying, Yang Huamei was moved and wanted to laugh. Did she really look that bad? I even helped Dabai pay back some money today, so I still feel confident.
"Mom, don't be like this, I'm fine!"
Yang Huamei smiled and wiped away Tan's tears, "My two sons are almost fifteen years old. It's not strange at all to get older. Besides, our old Wang family is not as good as those in the village. I myself I don’t feel like I’m suffering, so don’t worry about me.”
"You old man, please take good care of your body so that when I return to my parents' home, I will be called my mother. This is the greatest help to me!"
Mrs. Tan likes to hear these words.
She touched Yang Huamei's hair and sighed: "Don't worry, the king of hell doesn't want my mother's old bones. I can live up to my expectations and give you a few more years."
Yang Huamei nodded vigorously and put her head on Mrs. Tan's lap, clinging to her like she did when she was a child.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became warm.
After a while, Yang Huamei asked Tan softly: "Mom, Xiao Hei said earlier that Qing'er hit him with an iron poker. What do you think about this...?"
Tan's hand stroking Yang Huamei's hair paused slightly.
"Let me tell you, Fat Ya is not that kind of narrow-minded person. It's probably Xiao Hei who misunderstood." Tan said.
Yang Huamei said softly, "Of course I know Qing'er's broadmindedness. You can see it by looking at how she takes care of Shuanzi."
"It's just that it's true that Qing'er can't stand Dabai and Xiaohei's behavior. She has a high vision and strict requirements. However, her two cousins cannot live up to her expectations. It's impossible to fight. Yes, but Xiao Hei must have said something to scare me before he came to complain to me, hehehe..."
Hearing Yang Huamei's dry laugh, Mrs. Tan also laughed.
"You also said that Xiao Hei was heartless. Maybe he went to the kitchen to cause trouble. You also know Fat Girl's temper. Maybe she was annoyed by her cousin, so you said a few harsh words casually. That dead girl is in the movie You are merciless with my words, let alone my brothers? Let’s not take it seriously!”
Yang Huamei nodded, "Don't worry, mother, why would I take this kind of thing to heart? What, I haven't gone to the backyard to say hello to the third sister-in-law after being here for so long, I have to go there."
Mrs. Tan let go of her hand and said, "Okay, I'll go with you. I guess it's time to start dinner."
In the kitchen, Mrs. Sun was busy spinning her top, and Yang Ruoqing was not doing much better.
"Third sister-in-law, Qing'er, this has burdened you again, hahaha..."
Yang Huamei entered the kitchen with a smile. When she came in, she saw the pot stand. The small tables next to the pot stand were all filled with dishes. Many of them were Xiao Hei's favorite flavors. She suddenly burst out with joy from her eyes and laughed like silver. Bell-like crispness.
Mrs. Sun was cooking while talking to Yang Huamei: "I'm not tired, it's rare for you to come over for a meal, so what, has your father-in-law come over?"
Yang Huamei shook her head, "Not yet."
Sun said: "Then I have to ask your third brother to shout that dinner is about to be served."
Yang Ruoqing said: "My father doesn't seem to be back yet, so I'd better go and shout."
After saying that, he put down the iron poker and stood up.
Yang Huamei said: "Qing'er doesn't need to go and shout out. I'll just send Xiao Hei to shout out later..."
"How to do it? Let Qing'er go and find your third brother." Sun said with a smile.
Yang Ruoqing also nodded, scooped a ladle of water from the water tank and went outside the house to wash her hands carefully. There was some cigarette ashes on her hands from the iron pokers she held earlier.
Mrs. Tan stood on the edge with a cane, staring at Yang Ruoqing, staring hard.
"Mistress, the look in your eyes makes my scalp numb. Can you please turn around?"
Mr. Tan rolled his eyes and said viciously: "Didn't you use the iron pokers to chase Xiao Hei away?"
Tan’s purpose is very simple, just two:
First, let Meier understand that she, as an old woman, can still make decisions for her.
Second, a loud voice and a serious attitude can be used to intimidate the mother and daughter Sun and Fat Ya.
Well, even if Fatty can't be frightened, Sun can definitely be frightened. By frightening Sun, and then by Sun's pleading and persuasion to Yang Ruoqing in private, Yang Ruoqing will give face to the little black guy and stop being so cruel.
If Fat Ya doesn't give other people's face, she will definitely give Sun's face. This is called conquering Fat Ya in a roundabout way. It can also be regarded as Xiao Hei breathing a sigh of relief and giving his daughter Meier an explanation.
Because Tan's voice was not restrained on purpose, both Yang Huamei and Sun in the kitchen heard it.
Sun's first reaction was that she felt guilty, panicked and didn't know what to do.
Yang Huamei walked to the door of the kitchen in three steps and said to Mrs. Tan with a generous smile:
"Mom, don't question Qing'er like this. There must be a misunderstanding. Qing'er is not that kind of person..."
Tan deliberately bluffed, "I've kicked you out, will Xiao Hei still lie?"
Yang Huamei then stopped explaining to Yang Ruoqing and looked at Yang Ruoqing with a smile, also waiting for her to give a reasonable explanation.
Although the fat girl is a nice person and takes good care of Shuanzi, she can be treated as one and the same. If Xiaohei is so cruel, a mother like Yang Huamei will feel a little resentful and needs an apology.
Yang Ruoqing shook her shoulders with joy when she heard Tan's words.
That bastard Xiao Hei has learned to complain first to evildoers.
However, is she the kind of person who is afraid of being accused or questioned by her parents face to face?
She doesn't even have to explain!
