Xie Ying looked at the grandfather and grandson in front of her.
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm just leaving. No matter where I go, I will take you with me."
This is what Xie Ying thinks, and this is what she thinks at this moment.
After all, before Fu Changming passed away, he had given her numerous instructions to take good care of her grandmother and younger brother.
How could someone as smart as Fu Changming not know that Xie Ying might remarry after his death?
He also said that if Xie Ying remarries, she must obtain Fu Changhe's consent.
Fu Changming was willing to give it to Xie Ying and Li Shu. He had seen Xie Ying's beauty with his own eyes.
Although their time together was short, she was sincere to the Fu family, and he was not heartless and indifferent to her.
However, he is also selfish and wants to use Xie Ying's beauty to take care of his elderly and delirious grandmother and his young and uncared-for little brother.
This is why Xie Ying's way out was deliberately blocked.
Only with Fu Changhe's consent could she leave the Fu family and remarry someone else.
If he doesn't agree, then Xie Ying can't leave even if she wants to.
Although Xie Ying had no intention of remarrying, she also did not want to be a mother in the Fu family for the rest of her life, taking care of the elders and then the younger ones.
However, Fu Changhe is not at home now, so she must abide by the promise she made to Fu Changming and take care of Mrs. Fu and her younger brother Run.
So she knew in her heart that she couldn't leave.
Even if I go, I have to take the old lady of the Fu family and my younger brother Run with me wherever I go.
There was no difference between the unconscious Mrs. Fu and Brother Run. They believed Xie Ying when she said she wouldn't leave.
But Mrs. Fu and Brother Run always go to the house where Fu Changming lived before to look for people.
Even if Mrs. Fu picked up an egg in the yard, she would show it to Fu Changming.
He shouted, "Ming, Ming, Ming..."
Listening to this name, Xie Ying always feels in a trance.
It’s really the impermanence of nature.
Others are called Changming, but they cannot live long.
At a young age, in his early twenties, he lost his life.
He is also a learned and intelligent man, handsome and well-read. I heard that he only studied for three years and became a scholar in one fell swoop.
Looking at the entire county, I'm afraid I won't be able to find anyone else.
But God is jealous of Yingcai, that such an outstanding person left early.
Brother Run also made trouble to find his eldest brother several times.
Brother Run didn't understand the talk of life and death, so Xie Ying told him that your eldest brother had gone to the hospital to see a doctor, and he would be back when he was cured.
Brother Run was obedient and stopped shouting.
But even more so, he surrounded Xie Ying. Whenever he saw Xie Ying, he would chase after her.
Brother Run is pestering Xie Ying, and Mrs. Fu is also relying on Xie Ying.
***
After expelling Xie's family that time, they never came again.
Xie Ying lived peacefully with the elders and younger ones in the family, but it was indeed difficult for the family to have no money.
Soon it was the twelfth lunar month, and every household began to buy new year's goods.
Xie Ying still owes foreign debts, so she has no spare money to buy new year's goods.
She took apart the quilt Fu Changming had used before his death, washed and sewed it, and made cotton-padded clothes for Mrs. Fu and Brother Run, as well as a pair of thick-soled cotton shoes for each of them.
The old lady and the younger brother put on the clothes they had made, and they were very happy.
Especially Mrs. Fu smiled like a child.
"My granddaughter-in-law, I like it. This looks good, looks good..." She pointed to her clothes and shoes and said happily to Xie Ying.
Xie Ying smiled.
Brother Run also narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Seeing him smile, Xie Ying could always think of the time when Fu Changming didn't cough and was in good condition.
He also likes to lie on the deck chair under the eaves and watch her wash clothes, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Sister-in-law, I like it too. Sister-in-law, why don't you have new clothes?"
Xie Ying said: "Sister-in-law doesn't like new clothes."
"Sister-in-law, why don't you like new clothes? New clothes make you warm. I like new clothes and shoes."
Xie Ying: "As long as you like it, just dress like this. "
It was completely cold that day. She didn't know how cold it was, but she could tell from the ice slag in the water tank that it was very cold.
This year's weather seems to be experiencing a severe drought. From the beginning of winter to the twelfth lunar month, there has not been a single snowfall.
Xie Ying is looking forward to snow. If it doesn't snow, the wheat in the fields may not survive the winter, which will definitely affect the yield of next year's wheat harvest.
Xie Ying ground the wheat at home into flour and made large white steamed buns. She made them every morning and carried them to the town on a pole.
No matter how long it takes, come back when it’s sold out.
Sometimes I would shout a few times while walking down the street.
Fortunately, they are always sold out.
But she would leave two white flour buns for Mrs. Fu and her younger brother to eat every day.
Just when I returned to the village entrance from the town, I met Aunt Chunhua. She saw Xie Ying and called out.
"Ms. Ying's steamed buns are sold out? If you still have them, get four of them for me. My Lanxiang prefers the steamed buns you made. She said that the steamed buns made by you are delicious, and they are also very delicious when I eat them. I don't know about you. No matter what you put in it, they are all the same steamed buns, but the ones I make are not as delicious as the ones you make."
Xie Ying smiled and said nothing more about the steamed buns.
He said politely, "If Miss Lanxiang wants to eat it, just take it away."
"That's not possible. You are doing business. Even though we are bankers, we understand."
Aunt Chunhua said, took out some silver and gave Xie Ying two cents, and Xie Ying gave her four steamed buns wrapped in lotus leaves.
"It's a bit cold. Go home and heat it up. It will be as strong and delicious as new."
Xie Ying took the money and said something.
Aunt Chunhua saw two steamed buns left under the pole.
Then he said: "Ms. Ying, you are really kind to Madam Fu and Brother Run. You leave two buns for them every day, but you never leave one for yourself."
Aunt Chunhua often goes to Fu's house to find Xie Ying. Xie Ying is good at needlework.
Especially the clothes made here have dense stitching and look stylish.
Aunt Chunhua also wanted Lanxiang to learn from her, so she approached Xie Ying several times.
No matter whether she went there in the morning or in the evening, she saw that on their table, they were all snacking on white-noodle steamed buns, while she ate mixed-noodle steamed buns.
She once jokingly asked: Brother Run doesn't know how to love his sister-in-law more and let her eat some white flour steamed buns.
Brother Run looked up and answered innocently: My sister-in-law said she doesn’t like white flour steamed buns but prefers mixed-flour steamed buns.
Aunt Chunhua smiled and said nothing.
What an idiot. Who doesn’t like to eat white flour steamed buns in this world? Who doesn’t like to eat good ones?
From then on, Aunt Chunhua knew that Xie Ying was a truly good person.
She even thought that when the second son of the Fu family came back, she would ask her husband to tell her that if Xie Ying remarried, she would marry into their family.
The second oldest child in her family has not yet gotten married, but at this age, she is a perfect match for Xie Ying.
If a woman loses her husband and remarries in her husband's family, the decision must be left to her husband's brothers.
Xie Ying had no idea what Mrs. Chunhua was thinking. After saying a few words to her, she picked up the pole and walked home.
