Chapter 488: Endless Gossip

Ying Sisi sneered: "I helped you raise him, but what will you do if you want to go back later?"

"You're coming back to visit your uncle and aunt this time, right?"

"I'm not familiar with them. Aunts, I'm leaving first." After saying hello, Ying Sisi led her parents-in-law forward, over the hill and to the vicinity of the old lady's house: "Grandma, I'm back."

soon.

The old lady walked out of the yard with reading glasses on her nose.

Seeing Ying Sisi's family clearly, they started laughing.

He stepped forward steadily and took the initiative to show his goodwill: "Si Si's parents-in-law are here too, please come in."

“Hey.”

The child introduced himself: "Hello, grandma, my name is Zhu Qingan."

The old lady turned her head and lowered her eyes to see her: "Zhu Qing'an? You have the same last name as me? Why are you calling me grandma? Whose child is she?"

"That's right." Mother Qin wanted to tell the old lady that Ying Sisi had adopted a child despite the whole family's opposition.

Ying Sisi: "Grandma, she's mine. I'll tell you about this later."

"Eh." The old lady didn't understand the situation. She looked at the child carefully and said, "He has red lips and white teeth, and he's quite handsome. He's as bold as you were when you were little, and he tries to get close to everyone he sees."

Ying Sisi was happy, she thought this was an advantage.

After several people entered the yard.

The old lady arranged a place for Qin's father and mother to live, and then said to Si Si, "You and the child will have to squeeze in with me tonight. Why didn't Yan Ci come with you this time?"

"He's busy." Ying Sisi's eyes turned and fell on Zhu Qing'an. After such a long walk, the child began to doze off while sitting. She said, "Qing'an, you're tired, go to bed and rest."

"I haven't washed my feet since last night." The child stared at his shoes.

The shoes her mother had just bought for her not long ago were dirty, so she stretched out her little hands to pat the dust off the shoe surface.

The old lady smiled and said, "You really love cleanliness." She went into the kitchen to add water and asked Qin's father and mother, "My dear nephew, niece-in-law, this water can be used. Please feel free to use it."

“Hey.”

“.”

After the child washed up and went to bed, Ying Sisi and the old lady went outside and told her how they adopted the child.

The old lady was mixed with joy and sorrow.

She was happy that she had a child, but worried that her daughter Sisi would have to work hard. "This child is easy to take care of. If you're busy, you can leave her with me. I'll take care of her. When she's old enough to go to junior high school, you can bring her to the city. By then, she won't be a problem at all."

Ying Sisi: "She's already in school. My father-in-law's workplace has a preschool program. And one more thing, I'm pregnant now, over a month ago."

The old lady was happy but also worried. Sisi was pregnant, which further proved that her dreams were all true.

"I dreamed a while ago that you were locked up. You better be careful."

Ying Sisi pretended to be indifferent: "Don't take dreams seriously." If she hadn't ridden her bike the day before yesterday, she might have really been locked up.

I don’t know whether Mr. Shen found her bicycle or caught the people who wanted to arrest her.

"It's better to be safe than sorry." The old lady taught her to be cautious.

Ying Sisi agreed: "Okay."

The old lady said again: "I will go with you this time. I will come back after you give birth and finish the confinement period." It was just the right time to go home to escape the summer heat.

Ying Sisi naturally agreed: "Okay, you're welcome anytime."

“.”

Ying Sisi chatted with the old lady for a long time.

The latter invited her to the back mountain to observe the growth of the Polygonum multiflorum: "It's growing well, isn't it?"

"Well, I saw in the newspaper that it was raining in my hometown, but now I see no sign of rain."

"They're talking about the neighboring county, right? A lot of land was flooded, and some people were even swept away." The old lady relayed what others had said: "When the bachelors in the village heard that other people's land had been lost and there was a famine, they carried their food and ran over to find a partner."

"Has anyone found it?" Ying Sisi asked with concern.

It would be terrible if a bag of grain could be exchanged for a wife.

"Yes, Ding Dashan. His young wife is pretty." The old lady said this and started gossiping about Ding Xia: "Didn't Wang Zhijian and Ding Xia's cousin Ding Xiu run away? Now she's back.

Ding Xia was forced to marry Chen Jiancheng, and they lived a happy life.

Wang Zhijian, believing he was cuckolded, went to beat Ding Xia, and Chen Jian chopped off his heel with a hoe. Seeing that Wang Zhijian was a bit disabled, Ding Xiu looked down on him and secretly found another man. This angered Wang Zhijian so much that he reportedly went out to drink to relieve his sorrow and fell into the river and never came out.

Ying Sisi was horrified by what she heard. So Wang Zhijian was gone? "He used to be an alcoholic too."

"Also, your uncle and the widow Hu in the village..." The old lady kept talking about gossip.

Ying Sisi felt sleepy after listening to it, so she went back to her room and took a nap.

When I woke up, dusk was approaching.

There were sounds of laughter coming from the yard.

Ying Sisi got up and found her parents-in-law and the old lady chatting happily.

Ying Sisi: "How are you?"

"Mom, I'm at the door." Zhu Qing'an ran into the yard: "I won't wander around."

Ying Sisi: "Just play in the yard."

"good."

Talking.

My uncle and aunt came uninvited

Xie Cuilan laughed exaggeratedly and said, "This is my relative, right? You can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person."

Father Qin and Mother Qin looked at each other, and the former said, "Aunt Si Si?"

"That's right." Xie Cuilan said, "You've come a long way and must have worked hard. We've prepared some food and drinks. Let's go."

Father Qin was knowledgeable and probably understood what the other party meant: "Sorry for the trouble, we are full."

Xie Cuilan wanted to say more.

Ying Sisi said, "Get out of my yard right now, or I'll take action."

When Xie Cuilan heard Ying Sisi's voice, she buried her head in the sand and could no longer pretend: "You can leave, but you have to return the money we spent on you over the years.

It was the first time Qin's father heard his aunt asking his niece for money, and he couldn't help but laugh. "How much?"

The second son of the Ying family interrupted, "After grandpa and grandma passed away, Sisi lived with us for three months. One month was thirty days, and that was fifty cents a day, so one hundred and fifty cents a month, and four hundred and fifty cents for three months."

"Also, when Sisi was sick as a child, my grandparents asked my parents for money. Let's count it as one hundred yuan, which makes five hundred and fifty yuan. Also, the house Sisi originally lived in belonged to my grandparents. What they left behind belongs to my parents. I heard that renting a house in the city costs one thousand five hundred yuan a month." The second son of the Ying family paused and said, "The total is fifteen hundred yuan."

Qin's mother asked Ying Sisi what they said.

The old lady translated.

Mother Qin was angry: "Are you counting with your toes? Fifty cents a day, and you can calculate a hundred and fifty in thirty days. You're not as good as a three-year-old. Whichever side has two yuan, go there."

"What do you mean? My son is the most educated in our family! City people have no quality." Xie Cuilan put her hands on her hips and cursed.

Mother Qin didn't understand and didn't bother to pay attention to Xie Cuilan. She chatted with the old lady on her own.

Xie Cuilan was ignored and flew into a rage: "Are you even listening to me?"

No one paid any attention.

She could only look for Ying Sisi.

Ying Sisi was holding a farm tool. Xie Cuilan, fearing a beating, stepped back out of the door and discussed with Ying Shujian, "What should we do if they don't pay?"

"What else can we do? Let's go."
