Chapter 139: Burden



Jiang Wang stepped forward and called out respectfully, "Aunt."

Ye Xuanhan also shouted, "Auntie."

Jiang Wang's aunt Jiang Hongmei nodded with satisfaction and said to Ye Yanhan, "Are you Ye Yanhan?"

"Yes, auntie," Ye Yanhan replied with a smile.

"Not bad, not bad, you're really handsome," Jiang Hongmei held Ye Yanhan's hand, "Do you know who I am?"

"You are Jiang Wang's aunt," Ye Han was speechless.

This little old lady is really funny.

If I remember correctly, she just called her aunt.

Jiang Hongmei laughed while holding her stomach, pointing at Ye Yanhan and said, "This kid isn't very smart. This is definitely not what I'm asking."

...

...

This left Ye Han completely confused.

What? Does this lady have another identity?

"Auntie, I really don't know."

"You are so naive. I am the great-aunt of two children," Jiang Hongmei said, pointing at the children in the arms of Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang.

Ye Xuanhan felt a little helpless, he seemed to have really become a fool.

"Let's go," Grandma Jiang came to Ye Han's rescue, "your aunt brought some specialties from the Northeast. I heard there are red sausages and pickled cucumbers. Let's go back to the house and take a look."

"Yes, yes," Jiang Hongmei said, holding up the bag in her hand, "I brought you a lot of good things."

Ye Xuanhan was a little curious, "Auntie, how did you get here with all these things?"

Jiang Hongmei is about the same age as Grandpa Jiang, and judging from her appearance, she should be a few years younger than Grandpa Jiang.

But she looked very strong and was carrying a large bag on her back, and it was obvious that she worked all year round.

"Take the train. It takes three days and two nights to get here from the northeast."

"You came here by yourself?"

"That's not right."

Jiang Hongmei didn't seem to care about it.

Ye Han couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, Jiang Hongmei's physique is really amazing, she looked like nothing happened after being bumpy for so long.

When he entered the yard, Wang Xiaobao had just gotten up and was getting ready to go to school.

Seeing that Jiang Hongmei was still a little shy, Ye Han took Wang Xiaobao's hand and introduced him to Jiang Hongmei: "Auntie, this is Wang Xiaobao."

"Wang Xiaobao?" Jiang Hongmei asked with a frown.

At this time, Grandpa Jiang said, "Yes, he is the grandson of your sister-in-law and I's friend."

Ye Xuanhan also lowered her head and said to Wang Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, call me auntie quickly."

Wang Xiaobao was still a child after all. When he saw a stranger, he lowered his head and whispered, "Auntie."

"Tsk, it's just a burden, I've seen it before."

Jiang Hongmei obviously spoke without thinking, and blurted out the three words "burden".

Several children who were waiting for Wang Xiaobao at the door to go to school together burst into laughter when they heard the word "burden".

Ye Xuanhan didn't want to offend his aunt, so he could only let Wang Xiaobao go to school first.

Wang Xiaobao lowered his head, walked towards the door dejectedly, and took his friends to school together.

After the door was closed, Ye Han sighed and said to Jiang Hongmei, "Auntie, Xiaobao is not a burden. Please don't say that next time."

Grandpa Jiang on the side obviously thought the same thing and echoed, "Yeah, don't call him Xiaobao like that next time. It's not easy for that child either."

Grandma Jiang is Jiang Hongmei's sister-in-law, so it's not easy for her to speak directly to her sister-in-law, so she can only stand aside.

Jiang Wang is not a talkative person, and he would not point out Jiang Hongmei's mistakes.

Jiang Hongmei nodded awkwardly, and after a minute or two she raised her head and said, "Look at my mouth, I'm also a loose-lipped person, so don't mind me."

Ye Xuanhan was a junior, and seeing Jiang Hongmei admit her mistake, he naturally wanted to give her a way out, "Auntie, stop talking about this, let's go inside and drink some water. Hey, you've been here for most of the day, take a rest."

Having said that, Ye Hanhan took Jiang Hongmei's hand and walked into the house.

Jiang Hongmei was quite curious about the two children, Dayu and Xiaoyu, and rushed to help Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang hold the children.

The two old people had no choice but to let Jiang Hongmei hold Dayu, who was slightly stronger.

"Oh, this little guy is so fair and clean, he is really adorable," Jiang Hongmei said, and then stretched out her hand to pinch Dayu's little face.

"Auntie, the child's skin is very tender," Ye Han hurriedly advised, "You'd better not touch him."

"You're so delicate," Jiang Hongmei pinched Dayu's little face again and said disapprovingly, "The child is not as fragile as you think. It won't be a big deal if you touch him."

Seeing a red mark on Dayu’s chubby little face, Ye Han felt a little distressed.

The child had been born for nearly two months, and except for being spanked on the buttocks by the nurse in the delivery room, he had not been touched by anyone.

Seeing that Ye Xuanhan's face looked a little strange, Jiang Hongmei returned the child to her and said, "You are so stingy. I'm returning the child to you." Then she went into the house angrily.

Grandma Jiang walked up to Ye Hanhan and whispered, "Hanhan, try not to talk to your aunt these two days. Her husband left, and she's been upset these days."

Ye Han nodded with relief. No wonder Jiang Hongmei was dissatisfied with everything when she came over.

It turns out that you are in a bad mood.

Ye Hanhan also understood her feelings and didn't care about what Jiang Hongmei had done before.

After entering the house, Ye Hanhan took the initiative to help Jiang Hongmei pour boiled water and said, "Aunt, what do you want to eat for lunch? We will make it for you now."

Her husband had just passed away, so the aunt must be in a very bad mood at the moment. Ye Hanhan thought of making some delicious food for her to comfort the little old lady.

"I want to stew a big pork elbow, a big pig's trotter, sweet and sour pork, and pork stewed with vermicelli..."

Jiang Hongmei listed a long list of dishes in one breath, which shocked Ye Han.

"Auntie, are you sure you can eat so much?"

"Never mind, just do it," Jiang Hongmei said proudly.

Ye Xuanhan and Jiang Wang went out to buy ingredients for cooking, and as soon as they got home they went into the kitchen to cook.

The two were busy in the kitchen, chatting about their aunt Jiang Hongmei.

Jiang Wang frowned and began to recall, "I heard my grandmother and aunt mention her when I was a child. My aunt got married late. Before she got married, she lived in the courtyard of my grandparents. I heard that my grandmother and aunt had conflicts when they were young."

"Ah?" Ye Hanhan was a little incredulous. "You said that grandma and aunt were having a fight? That's impossible."

"It's true," Jiang Wang said, "I heard that my aunt's husband was once my grandmother's suitor, and they had many arguments over this."

Ye Xuanhan immediately became interested and asked Jiang Wang how much he knew about their previous generation.

Jiang Wang shook his head. "These are what my aunt told me. I don't know anything else."
