Chapter 37 High-end Wedding Candy
Ye Xiaomei was stunned. She said so much, but Brother Ma didn't hear a word he said? Or what happened?
"Me, me?" Ye Xiaomei pointed at her nose awkwardly, and turned around to pack her needle bag helplessly:
"Let Brother Heizi wash you. The important thing is to soak in the bath and let the herbs penetrate into the acupuncture points."
After Ye Xiaomei finished packing, she turned her back to Ma Qijun and walked out the door quickly after giving him instructions: "I'll go back first, otherwise my mother will worry."
As she spoke, the soft figure disappeared into the darkness.
Ma Qijun subconsciously touched his legs. In fact, after he became disabled, he thought about dying and even thought about lying to his family by saying that he had died a heroic death.
——Your horoscope matches that of mine, but I never expected that Xiao Mei is destined to bring good luck to her husband. She and your horoscope are a perfect match.
Ma Qijun's mother's voice echoed in his ears. At that moment, he thought that this couldn't be more superstitious: "Bring good luck to your husband?" This is the way to bring good luck?
No! Ma Qijun was shocked: "Heizi."
"What's wrong, boss?" Heizi asked at Ma Qijun's window in the yard before he could go into the house.
"Go and see your sister-in-law off." What if something happens at this late hour?
Heizi quickly dropped the fire stick and drove away, with the headlights drawing a semicircle in the darkness. He turned the car around and chased after him.
Not long after, Heizi came back.
"What's wrong?" Ma Qijun asked hurriedly.
Heizi smiled and waved his hands: "Nothing, I caught up with my sister-in-law in the west of the village. I didn't expect her to be so timid. She was frightened by a big wolf dog and couldn't move. Fortunately, you let me follow you."
"Yeah." Ma Qijun nodded. She was so timid.
The thought of taking good care of the woman for her entire life became stronger and stronger in his mind. She was timid and gentle in nature. If his leg could not get better, how could he protect her all the time?
I must get better, Ma Qijun told himself harshly.
Ye Xiaomei was really scared.
Fortunately, Heizi arrived and took her all the way home.
As soon as she knocked on the door, Ye Xiaomei found something was wrong. The light in the main room was still on.
Li Cuihua didn't sleep, and neither did Wang Minzhi and Zhao Mei. The three of them sat at the square table, leaving only the seat with their back to the door, as if it was specially reserved for Ye Xiaomei.
The pendulum clock on the back wall ticked away, showing half past two in the morning.
"Xiao Mei, it's so late. Tell me, where have you been?" Zhao Mei started first and winked at the same time. She knew that if she, as a mother, didn't ask, things would not be so simple when her sister-in-law and mother-in-law asked more questions.
Ye Xiaomei lowered her head and sat down slowly: "I went to the Ma family." This matter could not be hidden, because Heizi's car passed by and the headlights were so dazzling.
"Look, am I right?" Wang Minzhi interrupted quickly, with a look of pride on her face for having guessed correctly.
Li Cuihua knocked on the corner of the table, "Don't you know the rules? We can't keep in touch after the wedding date is set. What's the matter? You're so anxious that you have to sleep with a man after not seeing each other for half a month?"
Zhao Mei felt that these words were too harsh. She looked at her daughter again and felt a little more pain in her heart. She said softly:
"Xiao Mei, it's so late. Your grandma is worried about you. Don't do this next time. Go back to your room and go to sleep."
Ye Xiaomei knew that her mother was protecting her, but her protection was useless and would only make her mother continue to gossip tomorrow:
"It shouldn't be illegal for me to go to my fiancé's house, and I will be a member of Ma Qijun sooner or later."
Zhao Mei was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but sigh. This girl should just go back to her room and sleep. What's more, if she talks about it further, it will become a big deal.
"Oh, oh, oh, look, she hasn't even gotten married yet, but she's acting like a woman, and she's not ashamed of it." Wang Minzhi was taking pleasure in the misfortune. She finally got the chance, and she had to turn the tables.
Li Cuihua was so angry that she was breathing heavily, her eyes widened: "Isn't it embarrassing for you to say that?"
"Sister Xiaolin doesn't think it's shameful, so how can I say it's shameful?" After Ye Xiaomei said this, Zhao Mei was scared. Has this girl learned to quarrel with her elders?
"Hey. This damn girl..." Wang Minzhi stood up angrily and pointed at Ye Xiaomei:
"You still have a temper. Don't you look at your own character? You keep talking about the daughter-in-law of the Ma family and Ma Qijun's woman. Do you think a cripple is your treasure? If you get married, you will be like water spilled on the ground. Don't come to my Ye family to avoid embarrassing yourself."
After saying this, Wang Minzhi, whose scars were exposed, kicked away the bench and went straight back to the east room.
"He will definitely get better..." Ye Xiaomei was pulled back by her mother before she could finish her words: "Xiaomei, please stop talking."
Li Cuihua snorted coldly and stood up: "Xiao Mei, your aunt is right. There are still eight days until August 8th. Once you step out of this door, you have nothing to do with my Ye family. I won't be criticized by others outside."
As she spoke, the little old lady drew aside the curtain of the inner room and closed the door.
Seeing this, Zhao Mei quickly pulled her back to the west room, closed the door and said:
"Xiao Mei, Mom knows what kind of person you are. Don't be angry with your grandma and your aunt. This is what happened."
Ye Xiaomei would not be angry. She was very happy today. Brother Ma's leg would definitely be healed.
Zhao Mei whispered what happened today:
"Your aunt took Xiaolin to the Zhang family, but she didn't expect that Zhang's mother didn't know about Zhang Changjiang's girlfriend at all. This really embarrassed your aunt. After returning, she scolded Xiaolin. The scolding was very ugly. She also said that her body was deceived. In the end, the parents of the other family still refused to admit that she existed."
"That's none of my business."
Zhao Mei quickly explained: "Don't you know your aunt? She loves to see other people laugh. She made a fool of herself this time, and she wanted to see our family laugh too. When you didn't come back for dinner, your aunt instigated your grandmother, saying that you also went out to find a man."
The situation is just like this, it's nothing more than the little tricks in people's hearts.
"Mom doesn't mean anything else. I just want to tell you about this situation. Don't be angry. It's only a week after today. Once you get married, they won't have anything to say."
After Zhao Mei said this, Ye Xiaomei came back to her senses from her joy and sighed:
"Mom, everyone says that Brother Ma is a cripple. Have you ever thought about the rest of my life?"
Seeing her daughter calm down, Zhao Mei sat down, took her daughter's hand and said earnestly:
"At first, Mom was also very worried and felt like she was pushing you into a fire pit. But look at our home, does it feel like a home? I have suffered injustice for most of my life, and if you had stayed at home, you would have continued to suffer injustice. Later, I came to terms with it.
You can't eat or sleep well here. If you marry Xiao Ma, at least you will get an allowance. I heard it's 500 yuan a month. With money, at least you won't have to worry about food and drink, and Mom will be relieved."
Ye Xiaomei nodded without saying anything else, then went back to her room and went to sleep.
Firstly, Ma Qijun had voluntarily applied for discharge. He would no longer receive allowances, only medical subsidies, and he would have to continue receiving treatment, which would be reviewed every three months. However, she did not dare to tell her mother about this, for fear that she would worry.
But think about it, if Brother Ma's leg gets better in the future, the couple can farm at home, and as long as they are a little more diligent, their lives will get better and better.
The next morning, Ye Xiaomei stretched out her body in the yard in high spirits, and then filled the water tank with water.
Smoke was rising from the kitchen as Zhao Mei was cooking porridge. Ye Xiaoya, who was going to school, gulped down a bowl of porridge, grabbed half a steamed bun and was about to run.
Ye Xiaomei suddenly remembered something important: "Xiao Ya, wait a minute."
"What are you doing, sis? I'm almost late."
"Just a little while." Ye Xiaomei hurried into the room and put all the candies in her pocket. When she returned to the yard, Ye Xiaoya was still waiting eagerly:
"Here, take it. Tell me which one you like later."
Ye Xiaoya was stunned: "Sister, this is that kind of toffee, wow, there are golden monkeys."
Wang Minzhi, who was leaving the west room, splashed the water in the basin onto the floor and glanced at Ye Xiaomei and her sister: "I've never seen it before."
"Sister, where did you get this candy? Did you buy it?" Ye Xiaoya still remembered that her sister sold her beloved Angora rabbit to pay for her tuition, and cut her long hair to make her new clothes and crystal sandals, so this candy suddenly seemed even more priceless.
"I didn't buy this. This is the wedding candy prepared by your brother-in-law's family. I specially asked you to try it and see which one tastes good. Then, eat it when you are full." Ye Xiaomei stuffed the candy into her sister's schoolbag:
"Go ahead."
Wang Minzhi suddenly stopped and looked back: "What did you say?"
