Chapter 44 Soft Heart

"Sisi, where are you going to go if you're not going home for dinner?" a dark-skinned aunt asked, and her eyes couldn't help but look at the well-dressed and beautiful Jiang Yule and Meng Wanshu.

"Auntie, we are eating. Let's take a walk."

Li Sisi did not tell Jiang Yule about her plan. To her aunt, this casual talk sounded like she was not doing her job properly. Seeing her aunt's contemptuous look, Jiang Yule did not wait for her to think about anything before she heard her aunt's slightly harsh voice.

"Still strolling around? You have nothing to do after eating. Sisi, don't learn from those educated youth. Instead of playing with them, you might as well go to work and reduce the burden on your family."

The aunt was jealous of these beautiful and well-fed girls, but because Li Sisi's father was the captain, she dared not say it openly and could only be sarcastic like this.

But no one present was a fool, who could fail to understand the meaning of the other party's words? Jiang Yule did not give in at the moment. He looked at the aunt holding the bowl to eat, and then looked at the family eating around the table in the yard. They were all happy, except for the woman who was wearing tattered clothes and washing clothes. She was secretly looking at the dining table while washing clothes, swallowing her saliva from time to time.

Hmm....typical bullied daughter-in-law....

"Yes, Sisi, you have to learn more from your aunt. After all, it is not something that most people would do to mistreat their daughter-in-law when the whole family is eating. If you learn this trick, you will be able to recognize the face of an evil mother-in-law when you see her in the future, and you will suffer less."

After saying that, regardless of how angry the aunt was, he took Meng Wanshu and Li Sisi and left.

After walking away, Li Sisi gave Jiang Yule a thumbs up. She didn't expect that Jiang Yule, who looked so gentle, could be so piercing.

"Great! That aunt has always been mean and sarcastic. I heard from my mother that when she was young, her fiancé was snatched away by a beautiful girl from the neighboring village, so she had no choice but to marry her current husband. Since then, she has looked at beautiful girls with ugly faces and ugly noses."

"The one washing clothes just now is her daughter-in-law. She was also a young and beautiful girl when she first got married. Look at her now, she is being scrubbed."

As Li Sisi spoke, she looked back at her aunt who was sitting at the door in a rage and turned back to scold her daughter-in-law. She couldn't help but curl her lips. If she really had such a vicious mother-in-law, she would be unlucky for the rest of her life.

"Everyone has his own destiny," Jiang Yule said calmly.

"That's right." Li Sisi curled her lips helplessly and continued to lead the two of them towards the end of the village.

Walking down the path, the houses on both sides of the road became fewer and fewer. Just when Jiang Yule thought they were almost out of the village, a small courtyard appeared in everyone's sight.

"This is it," Li Sisi said, pointing to the yard ahead.

Jiang Yule looked into the yard. Although it looked a bit shabby, it was clean and tidy. It was not difficult to see that although this family lived a hard life, they were not a broken family.

"The one sweeping the floor is her eldest son," Li Sisi added

Jiang Yule looked into the yard and met the eyes of a little boy. The boy was very dark and thin, and looked only about seven or eight years old.

Jiang Yule couldn't help but think of the time when he first started working and followed the hospital to the mountainous area for free medical treatment. The high-rise buildings in the city were bright and bustling, but the small mountain village they came to had only just been connected to electricity, and it was not much better than this era.

In that mountain village, Jiang Yule saw many such children. Every household depended on the weather for food, and going to school was a luxury.

Jiang Yule stayed there with the team for a week. Even now, I still remember that week vividly.

Looking at the children in the house, I couldn't help but feel very sad.

"Xiaodong, is your mother home?" Li Sisi pushed the door into the yard and asked the boy who was sweeping the floor.

A little boy who was playing in the yard heard Li Sisi's voice, looked up and saw so many people coming, stood up and ran behind his brother, timidly showing half of his head and looking at them.

"Mom is at home, feeding my sister rice soup." Xiaodong knew that this was the captain's elder sister. In the past, when the children in the village bullied them, Sister Sisi would protect them. So even though Xiaodong felt uneasy about the arrival of these two overly good-looking educated youth, he did not react much. He just answered Li Sisi's question while looking at Jiang Yule and Meng Wanshu warily.

There was nothing at home that could provide nutrition for the child. The golden rice soup that had been boiled for a long time was already very good food for a one-year-old child, but to Jiang Yule, it was even more unpleasant. Premature babies were already in poor health, and now they were not eating or drinking nutritious food...

"Can you help me find your mother? These two educated youth sisters want to make clothes."

When Xiaodong heard that he was going to make clothes, his eyes lit up. Even Xiaobei's big black grape eyes were full of anticipation.

He was still young and didn't know much, but he knew that if someone asked his mother to make clothes for him, it meant he could have enough food.

"Okay," Xiaodong replied obediently, and he didn't forget to pull his brother into the house.

"Mom, Sister Sisi is looking for you. There are educated youth who want to make clothes." As soon as Xiaodong entered the door, he couldn't wait to shout to his mother.

"Really? Then help mom feed your sister the rice soup. Mom will go take a look." The woman handed the thin child in her arms to Xiaodong and left the house. Xiaodong held his sister and fed her rice soup in small sips. Xiaobei, who was standing next to him, looked at the golden rice soup and even swallowed unconsciously. For Xiaobei, it was already delicious.

"Sisi, it's you who's here. Who are these two..." The woman asked Sisi and the other two to sit down. She worked in a remote place and didn't pay much attention to the gossip in the village, so she had never seen Jiang Yule and the other two. When she looked at them, she was amazed and dodged.
