Chapter 13 Mom, I pick up trash to support you

May is the busy farming season, and every household is busy planting rice in the fields.

After working all day, the horn in the brigade sounded and the people working in the fields handed in their farm tools one after another. When they were counting the farm tools, the most people gathered in the brigade. Xu Lanxiang's mother, Sun Yanfang, rolled her eyes, cleared her throat and started to show off.

"It's said that our Yaoyao is lucky! So what if she gave birth to a child? Just look at her face, isn't it worse than a movie star? She has a good figure, a thin waist and big breasts. The deputy director of my brother's unit saw her and was so attracted to her that he asked my brother to match them up."

Liu Mei just turned around after putting down the farm tools and heard Sun Yanfang talking about Xu Yao's blind date. She was so scared that she quickly pulled Sun Yanfang's sleeve, signaling her to stop talking nonsense.

She doesn't think Xu Yao and the factory director can succeed. Sun Yanfang is talking so much now. Isn't she putting Xu Yao on a pedestal and unable to get down from it? !

When Xu Yao comes back, everyone will find out that Xu Yao is not liked. Who knows how they will ridicule Xu Yao for trying to climb up the social ladder!

The captain's wife, Zhang Yaowen's mother, felt mixed emotions when she heard this.

Her youngest son seemed to be possessed by a demon and was determined to marry Xu Yao. Her man is a cadre after all, so how bad is Xu Yao's reputation? Letting a slut like Xu Yao into her home, isn't that desecrating her family's threshold?

When she heard that Xu Yao was finally going to get married, she was extremely happy. She thought her youngest son would finally give up and marry a decent wife to live a good life.

But Xu Yao married too well. She looked down on Xu Yao, but she turned around and married someone better than her son, which made her look very short-sighted.

The captain's wife said sourly, "I'm not jealous, Xu Yao is pretty, but her conditions are not that good. Don't tell me she was deceived."

"This... this is impossible? The deputy factory director shouldn't be such a person." Sun Yanfang covered her mouth, looking shocked and embarrassed.

Sun Yanfang's reaction, which was intended to cover up something, instantly changed the attitude of those in the team who envied Xu Yao.

Everyone felt that Xu Yao was being played for nothing.

Liu Mei was shaking with anger. There was a famine in her hometown that year, and she followed a large group of people to flee to Xiahe Village. She was separated from her family on the way, and she married here alone.

Without the support of her natal family, she lacked confidence. She just focused on her work at Lao Xu's house, endured it as much as possible, and tried not to conflict with others. But this time Sun Yanfang went too far.

Her daughter already has a bad reputation, and if Sun Yanfang continues to spread the news, will Xu Yao still be able to survive?

Even rabbits will bite when they are cornered. Liu Mei slapped Sun Yanfang in anger.

Xu Yao walked all the way from the old house to the fields and saw Liu Mei and Sun Yanfang fighting each other with equal strength. There were a few people standing nearby who were trying to stop the fight. She quickly ran over and asked some questions while pretending to stop the fight, but in fact she was pinching and scratching Sun Yanfang.

"Mom, have you seen Jia'an?"

At this time, Liu Mei had been pulled away. She had been doing heavy work all year round and was as strong as Sun Yanfang. This was her first fight and she didn't suffer any loss. She didn't even bother to tidy up her torn hair and hurriedly said, "He's missing? He was still at home when I brought him lunch at noon. Where could he have gone?"

It is normal for children to run around. A five-year-old child in rural areas can take care of younger brothers and sisters. Compared to where Xu Jiaan is having fun, they are more interested in what is going on between Xu Yao and the deputy factory director.

Xu Yao was very annoyed by the question. If a child in the village went missing, the whole village would help find him. Thinking that she was asking for help, she answered in a few words.

"That deputy factory director was a beast. He wanted to force himself on me, but I was saved by a policeman who was at the police station."

"My dad? My dad was also taken away by the police. They suspected that my dad and the deputy factory director were colluding to traffic women, so they were also arrested. Sentence? Probably ten or eight years. Oh, and they might even search our house."

"My Jia'an doesn't like to run around, and he's also sick. I'm worried that something might have happened to him. Please help me find him. Thank you."

Xu Yao deliberately exaggerated the situation and said that she had thought it through on the way back. She would take the college entrance exam next year. There would be subsidies if she was admitted, and she could find a suitable part-time job with her diploma, so supporting Xu Jiaan would not be a problem.

Before the college entrance examination next year, they will have two mouths to feed. Xu Jiaan’s biological father is not someone they can rely on, so they can only rely on him for the time being.

Xu Yao has no psychological burden about living off her parents. If she doesn't, all the benefits will go to the second wife. After all, Xu Weidong is the original wife's biological father.

Xu Yao satisfied everyone's desire for gossip, and seeing that she could not fake her anxiety, they sighed and scattered to help her find someone.

Only the people from Lao Xu's family stood there in a daze.

Sun Yanfang grabbed Xu Yao anxiously, frightened out of her wits, "Did Xu Weidong really get arrested?"

Xu Weidong worked in the county town, earning 43.56 yuan a month, most of which went into the pockets of his second wife. If Xu Weidong went to jail and their house was searched, what would their second wife eat and wear? How did Xu Lanxiang get the money to go to college, and how did Xu Qiang get the money to marry a wife!

Liu Mei moved her cracked lips and the blood instantly drained from her face.

how so!

She had been married to Xu Weidong for ten years, and Xu Weidong had been very good to her. But later on, he became increasingly cold toward her, and even treated his nephews and nieces better than his own children. She thought that no matter what, Xu Weidong would not harm his own daughter, but she had no idea that he would do such a thing.

Now is not the time to complain, Liu Mei cheered up and went to look for someone.

Xu Yao ignored Sun Yanfang and walked straight towards the road leading to the town. The hard uppers of her shoes rubbed her feet and caused blisters on them. It was totally an unexpected disaster to wear them here. Not only did she lose her supercar, villa, winery, and male models, but she would also have to worry about raising a child.

She wanted to cry.

In the hazy vision, a dirty little figure suddenly appeared, wasn't it Xu Jiaan!

"Xu Jianan!" Xu Yao was furious.

Xu Jiaan was wearing that ill-fitting tattered clothes and an old cloth shoe with one sole missing and his toes exposed. There was sweat and dust on his hair. No one knew where he had been. His clothes and pants were covered in mud and dust. His delicate little face was covered in black and white, and looked gray, like a little beggar.

Seeing Xu Yao standing not far away, Xu Jiaan did not realize the seriousness of the problem and threw the huge rag bag he was carrying behind him to the front.

He gave Xu Yao a faint smile and walked towards her step by step, carrying the rag bag.

"Mom, I can pick up trash to feed you."

He wiped his body with his dirty little paws, then grabbed the hem of Xu Yao's clothes, and with a firm and bright look on his gray little face, he emphasized again.

"Don't marry, I will support you."

Xu Yao asked Xu Jianan to repay him. Xu Jianan didn't know what Xu Yao was talking about, but he remembered every word she said and counted them slowly with his little finger.

"When I grow up, I will buy you a house of several thousand square meters, with colorful cherry trees, Simmons mattresses, a pure gold bathroom, and a 188-meter male model."

“…”

It was difficult for Xu Yao to describe her feelings at this moment.

She did not go through the process of pregnancy and childbirth, so she did not have much maternal love. She had limited guilt and sympathy for Xu Jiaan. Occasionally, Xu Jiaan's living habits and cold expressions made her unhappy. When Xu Jiaan suddenly ran away from home, she felt that the child was ignorant and felt very annoyed.

Now, her nose felt a little sour.

She came here to save Xu Jiaan, but wasn't Xu Jiaan also here to save her?
