Look at the fierce look on the second daughter-in-law’s face. She really doesn’t look like a serious daughter-in-law!
Li Xiuying couldn't help but glance up the slope.
In the kitchen shed, Ye Yun was cooking with Qin Xiang'e obediently. Qin Xiang'e was lighting the fire, while she was frying lard with a spatula. The aunt and nephew were talking and laughing like mother and daughter.
Tsk.
The more she looked at it, the angrier her heart became.
I don’t know when her daughter-in-law became more and more arrogant.
In fact, she also knew that it was all because she ran out of food at home.
In the past, both daughters-in-law were respectful to her, because she was the mother-in-law, and she also held the family's food and money in her hands. Now the harvest and other things in the fields were fined and given to the old Qin family because of her... Alas!
"There it is!"
At this time, the second daughter-in-law obviously also saw her hiding behind the haystack, and she pulled the old Guo family's useless second daughter and came here aggressively.
Li Xiuying's heart skipped a beat when she saw this.
She stopped dodging, patted the dust on her body, straightened her spine and walked home as if nothing happened.
The second daughter-in-law picked her up and followed her home complaining all the way.
"Mom! What time has it been? You're still running out. Don't you know it's time to cook?" The second daughter-in-law clapped her hands, her face looking very pale and ugly.
The more she looks at Li Xiuying, the more displeased she becomes.
Most of the family's fortune was lost to Li Xiuying, so it's a good thing she didn't kick anyone out!
"Okay, how can a person die from starvation for a while?" Li Xiuying was also impatient and walked into the stove with a cold face.
She didn't want to give in to the second daughter-in-law, but now she was indeed in the wrong, not to mention that the second daughter-in-law was also pregnant now, so she had no choice but to do this first no matter how reluctant she was.
The most important thing is that no one in this family can help her.
The two sons of Lao Guo's family were both supercilious. They were all calling her mother in a good manner before, but after the accident, their expressions turned uglier than the other.
And her young son.
Originally, she wanted to count on her youngest son, but it turned out that the boy ran away from home because he was mute. He still hasn't found home yet and doesn't know where he died!
The more Li Xiuying thought about it, the angrier she became, and she kicked the washbasin out of the way.
Banglanglang——
This sound instantly ignited the temper of the second daughter-in-law.
"Mom, what do you mean by this? Who are you showing off to? You make me follow you every day to eat the old carrot gang. It's okay. When it comes to work, I can't find anyone. Who can be such a bad mother-in-law? You know? I'm just pregnant!" The second daughter-in-law became more and more angry. She simply threw her arms away and pointed at Li Xiuying and cursed: "You haven't come back from Lao Qin's house for a long time. What you said was to ask for food. Don't It’s not like I saw a sedan coming to someone else’s house and got confused and didn’t want to go back to this house!”
"What are you talking about!"
Li Xiuying was shocked and immediately blushed and shouted loudly.
The second daughter-in-law immediately became excited and said at the top of her voice: "Look, you are right! If you want to leave, go quickly, Lao Guo's family won't stop you! But you have to look at Lao Qin Does the family still want you?"
"me……"
Li Xiuying was trembling with anger.
She never expected that her daughter-in-law, who had hugged her arm and coaxed her around affectionately, would dare to do this to her.
If she hadn't seen that she was pregnant with a baby, she would have torn this little shrew's mouth out!
"Mom, you're getting older, so don't worry about it. My sister-in-law is pregnant with a baby, so just cook and serve her at home." The eldest daughter-in-law also spoke up.
The eldest daughter-in-law has long lost the respect she had for Li Xiuying before, but she is smarter than the second daughter-in-law and does not say embarrassing things directly.
But what she said was not as aggressive as the second daughter-in-law.
"You're not old yet! If you want to be my boss, wait until I'm dead!" Li Xiuying pushed the eldest daughter-in-law away and got into the stove shed.
The pots and pans clanked as she threw them, obviously she had accumulated a lot of resentment.
But what can be done?
At the beginning, he left his own son alone but kissed two other people's sons. Even if he favored the younger son, why should he care about the two sons of the old Guo family?
Li Xiuying couldn't help but wonder if she had not put Qin Zheng at the end.
If she had been kinder to Qin Zheng and put Qin Zheng's position in front of the two sons of the old Guo family, wouldn't it have developed to this point...
Dark clouds are coming.
The heavy rain came as soon as it came, and the ditch in front of the slope was filled with water in a short time.
Despite this, Lao Qin's house was still lively and lively. Qin Xiang'e was killing fish and frying meat with quick hands and feet, and happily hummed mountain songs amidst the noisy rain.
Ye Jianjun squatted at the door of the hall, smoking the grass cigarette in his hand with a sad look on his face.
He originally wanted to take Ye Xia home directly, but now it looks like the heavy rain will not stop for a while.
It's good that he hasn't figured out how to tell his sister the news of his father's death.
When Ye Xia disappeared, the old man was the most important person. He always felt that Ye Xia disappeared because he pushed too hard. After that, he fell seriously ill and remained ill until he raised little Ye Yun. Years of guilt and regret overwhelmed him, and he finally passed away.
The old man died because of Ye Xia's guilt. He was afraid that Ye Xia would feel guilty when she found out.
Guilt comes and goes.
Just stop here.
Ye Jian'an did not hesitate anymore and turned to Ye Xia and said, "When the rain stops, I will take you to our father's grave."
Ye Xia looked slightly stunned.
Ye Yun did not expect that Ye Jianan would suddenly mention this matter, and frowned slightly, "Uncle..."
She didn't want Ye Jian'an and Ye Xia to say this. It was obvious that Ye Xia's current mental state was not suitable for accepting such things.
Mu Jingsheng realized something was wrong, covered his nose and stumbled: "Brother, uncle, he..."
Ye Jianan became angry when he saw Mu Jingsheng and rolled his eyes at him, "What does it have to do with you?"
Mu Jingsheng choked.
Knowing that Ye Jianan didn't like him, he could only shut up knowingly.
Ye Xia's lips trembled slightly, maybe she thought of something. She looked at Ye Jian'an with a hint of fear, and held Ye Yun's hand so hard that her fingertips turned white.
Seeing her like this, Ye Jianan sighed helplessly.
"Don't be nervous. My father... fell from the roof back then. You also know that he was old. Without the fall, his death had nothing to do with you. It just happened to be right after you left."
"Yes...really?" Ye Xia's tone was a little more uncertain.
Ye Jianan nodded.
Ye Yun couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, held Ye Xia's hand and said, "Don't be too nervous. Birth, aging, illness and death are normal."
As she said that, she couldn't help but look at Ye Jian'an twice. In her memory, her grandfather had never fallen. His death was a long-standing experience. To put it bluntly, it was the reason for her mother's disappearance.
Ye Xia lowered her eyes lonely and said nothing.
After a long while, she squeezed out a sentence from between her lips and teeth: "It's my fault..."
Ye Jianan glanced at her and didn't explain too much, so as not to make it more troublesome later.
After the heavy rain stopped, Qin Zheng took Ye Jianan to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some incense.
It had just rained and everything in the mountains was wet. The straw sandals dripped across the grass and stepped on the bluestone slabs, unable to catch the dew.
"Be careful."
Qin Zheng held Ye Yun's hand with one hand and hugged her waist with the other, fearing that she would fall.
The road in the mountains was difficult, and she was pregnant again. If Ye Yun had not insisted on coming with Ye Xia to take a look, he really didn't want Ye Yun to come out and take this risk.
The old man's grave is on the mountain, halfway up the mountain like many others in the village.
It had just rained, so I was not afraid that the lit incense would burn the mountain.
Ye Xia numbly threw the incense paper into the brazier, her eyes were red from crying, and she was mumbling in a low voice. Others could not hear what she said, but they only knew that she looked really sad.
In the afternoon, Ye Jianan took Ye Xia back home and looked at the former yard.
Ye Yun naturally followed.
Liu Meilan was sitting blankly in the yard. Since Ye Xue disappeared, half of her energy has been drained away, and she has lost the energy she had before.
When she saw Ye Xia appear, there was obvious fear in her expression.
"Sister-in-law?" Ye Xia looked at Liu Meilan and shouted lightly,
Liu Meilan looked shocked and looked at Ye Xia for several seconds. Suddenly, as if she had seen a ghost, she moved the stool and ran out of the house.
"Don't pay attention to her!"
Ye Jianan was angry when he saw Liu Meilan's useless look. What else doesn't he understand now?
Liu Meilan clearly has a guilty conscience!
That means Liu Meilan did beat Ye Xia back then!
Ye Jian'an glared at Liu Meilan's fleeing figure angrily, then pushed open the door of the main room and asked Ye Xia and others to go inside and sit first.
Ye Yun saw him entertaining Ye Xia, so she and Qin Zheng went to the house where she lived before.
But he didn't expect Ye Xia to follow him.
Ye Xia asked her: "Xiaoyun, did you live here before?"
Ye Yun nodded.
Ye Xia curiously looked at the furnishings in the room, but found that none of them belonged to her daughter, and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
She didn't say anything, raised her hand and patted Ye Yun's shoulder before going out again.
Outside, Ye Jian'an was waving his hands and shouting to Mu Jingsheng: "I won't leave, I will stay here to guard my hometown. If you want to leave, just leave. Don't drag me out!"
Ye Yun followed him out.
Mu Jingsheng persuaded me with good words: "Brother, there is no development in the mountains. Now there is a lot of waste waiting for development outside, and people are needed in all walks of life. You are a pragmatic person, and you can find a good job very quickly."
"No, no, no!"
Ye Jianan waved his hands impatiently, even if the King of Heaven came, he would not be able to pull him out.
He has his own small courtyard in the mountains, with one-third of an acre of land. Although he is not rich, he has food to eat, so what is he going to do?
No matter what Mu Jingsheng said, Ye Jianan just refused to get out.
Mu Jingsheng scratched the back of his head, not knowing how to persuade Ye Jianan again.
He really wanted Ye Jian'an to go out and see the outside world and help his uncle.
Of course, he was more thinking that if Ye Jianan followed him, there would be a greater chance that Ye Yun would follow him.
"He won't go out if he doesn't want to. Why do you insist on him going out?" Ye Yun said coolly.
The cold voice made Mu Jingsheng shut up instantly. Faced with Ye Yun's unhappy expression, he didn't dare to fart again.
Ye Xia smiled and patted Mu Jingsheng on the shoulder, comforting him not to be too sad.
The graves were visited, the homes were visited, and it was getting late. Mu Jingsheng took Ye Xia to the town to rest for a night before setting off back to the county town tomorrow.
Ye Yun watched them go to the official road.
Then she went back with Qin Zheng.
"Daughter-in-law, please wait a moment, I will go to the field to gather some wheat ears." Qin Zheng said, got up and jumped down from the crop field.
After a while, he had a handful of lush wheat in his hand.
"Let's go back and bake some wheat for you!" Qin Zheng jumped onto the road and told her with a simple smile.
"good!"
Ye Yun also became interested, took his arm and walked towards home.
Not far away, Li Xiuying, who came out to dig wild vegetables, quietly watched this scene and followed suit.
After dinner, Ye Yun took the clothes she had changed and went to the stream while it was still dark.
Summer clothes are easy to wash, and the smell of sweat can be washed away by running them through water. After one night, they can be worn in the morning.
Ye Yun just soaked her clothes in the water.
Suddenly the little black one at his feet started barking.
"Go away, you little beast. You can't tell the difference between good and evil. Why are you calling your grandma?" Li Xiuying walked out of the grass and kicked away the little black dog that was biting her trouser leg.
Then she looked at Ye Yun and said with a smile: "Zhengzi's wife, where are you washing your clothes?"
