When Guan Yuan raised her head, she saw Xie Li.
She is tall, has fair skin and a bright face.
At first glance, she is very elegant and beautiful, not the unpresentable country woman that Zhang Jianhua claims.
Xie Li also looked at her, and their eyes met.
Xie Li smiled first, "You are here, come in quickly."
She took the initiative to pick up their luggage.
Guan Yuan looked at her in surprise, then followed her into the house.
Zhang Jianhua was also confused.
Based on his understanding of Xie Li, today will definitely be a tough battle.
He had already made an agreement with Guan Yuan yesterday that she should endure the scolding and would defend herself against the scolding.
But why does Xie Li have this expression?
"Come and sit down. You must be tired after coming back from such a long distance. Please sit down for a while. The food will be ready soon."
After Xie Li asked Guan Yuan and her daughter to sit down, she talked to them while serving them fruit snacks.
Guan Yuan watched Xie Li busying herself without saying a word.
She just felt that she was bright and energetic, and she was envious of her health.
After Xie Li poured her some water and brought her some fruit snacks, she went to the kitchen to help.
Guan Yuan was in a state of panic, with so many feelings in her heart that she couldn't express them in words.
She lowered her head, picked up the cup and prepared to drink water.
"Hey." Zhang Jianhua suddenly stopped her and stopped her from drinking.
"Don't drink."
Guan Yuan looked at him in confusion, "What?"
Zhang Jianhua looked towards the kitchen and whispered to Guan Yuan, "Xie Li is not right today. I don't know what she is up to. Yuanyuan, remember, don't eat anything she gives you today, and don't drink anything she gives you. She will treat you to a meal later, so be smart and eat only when you see her eating."
Guan Yuan widened her eyes, looked at Zhang Jianhua, and then looked towards the kitchen.
She felt that the woman was not what Zhang Jianhua said she was. She was not a domineering and shrewish woman at all.
If she was really poisoned, and if she was really that bad, why would she have worked so hard to help Zhang Jianhua take care of his sick parents?
How can it be bad to treat the disabled, sick, weak and elderly people well?
But Zhang Jianhua lied all the time and made her suffer a lot.
Thinking of this, Guan Yuan lowered her head, picked up the water on the table and took a sip.
"Ah..." Zhang Jianhua wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
He said angrily, "Didn't I tell you to be careful and not drink the water she gave you? She's not acting right today."
Guan Yuan said calmly: "My health has not been good to begin with. Wouldn't it be better if I died?"
"You...what are you talking about? You're going to die...you're going to die, what will happen to your mother and Wanxia?"
Guan Yuan smiled bitterly.
I think he might die early.
The reason why I am so worried now is that I might cause trouble for him if I die here.
"Please let me go. I don't think Sister Xie Li is stupid. She wouldn't be stupid enough to poison me here."
"She's not stupid, but she's impulsive and irritable. You... Oh, forget it. I can't explain it to you. You'll understand when she gets furious and scolds you."
However, I'm afraid he will be disappointed.
Forget about scolding Guan Yuan. From the moment she came in to the time she invited her to dinner, she was as warm and hospitable as if she were entertaining a relative. There was no scolding at all.
As for her affair with Zhang Jianhua, she never mentioned a word.
Guan Yuan gradually calmed down from her fear.
And Zhang Jianhua became more and more nervous.
He felt that something was wrong with Xie Li and wondered what evil she was up to.
After the meal, she wanted to ask several questions, but Xie Li always evaded her.
Xie Li ignored Zhang Jianhua the whole time and kept talking to Guan Yuan instead.
Of course, the topic of conversation was not Zhang Jianhua, but about child-rearing.
Xie Li talked about her support for Hongxia, and also asked Guan Yuan about her support for Wanxia.
Upon learning that the child was born with poor health and that the doctor said he would probably not live to adulthood, Guan Yuan was so sad that she burst into tears.
Xie Li sighed and said, "This child is called Wanxia. This name sounds nice at first glance, but it is unlucky when you think about it carefully. Wanxia is beautiful, but it is too short-lived and will soon be plunged into darkness. Sister, take the child to change his name."
Guan Yuan looked at her in surprise.
Xie Li also looked at her, "Isn't that right?"
Guan Yuan nodded blankly, then said, "Sister Li is right, this name is indeed unlucky. It's time to change it. I'll change her name when I get back. Sister Li, what do you think we should change it to?"
Xie Li thought for a while and said, "Why not call her Yunxia?"
"Clouds? No need to change, it's still the sunset glow. Clouds are indeed much better than sunset glow. Sister Li, thank you."
The two of them chatted while playing with the child, but she got tired after a while.
Poor health and limited energy.
She fell asleep on top of Guan Yuan.
Xie Li whispered, "Send her upstairs to sleep."
"Thank you."
Guan Yuan carried the child and followed Xie Li downstairs. Zhang Jianhua continued to sit there restlessly, waiting for them to come down.
After going upstairs, Miss Guan Yuan put her daughter on the bed, and then knelt down in front of Xie Li.
"Sister, I'm sorry."
Xie Li hurried to help her up, "Hurry up, what are you doing?"
Guan Yuan shook her head and said to her, "I can see that you are a good person, not at all what they say. I am sorry for you, it is me who has harmed you."
"Nonsense, what have you done to us? It's me, not you, who's sorry. It's Zhang Jianhua who's sorry to us."
Guan Yuan stared at Xie Li in a daze.
Xie Li said: "I know everything about you. I didn't hear it from Wan Hong, Zhou Yuhai, or Zhang Jianhua. I asked someone to investigate it myself."
Guan Yuan stared at her blankly.
Xie Li continued, "I knew you were alive earlier than you think. When Zhang Jianhua didn't come back for two years, I sent someone to look for him. When he came back, he told me that he had a family outside. Later, my family gave me advice and asked me to force him to come back. Sister, you should know what year it was, right?"
Guan Yuan remembered that year, Zhang Jianhua suddenly said that he wanted to go home to worship his ancestors.
His parents are both dead, but he hasn't returned home to worship his ancestors for two years. This is unfilial.
This statement made sense no matter how you put it, and his family couldn't refute it. They just told him to go back and be younger, and burn more paper for his parents.
I thought he would be back soon, but he stayed from before the New Year to after the New Year and only came back when it was almost time for work.
He explained that he had not seen the villagers for many years, and his uncles and aunts invited him to drink, so he stayed for a few more days.
They couldn't refute it, because they knew that a village in the countryside had some kinship, and it would be rare for a village to produce a student.
He hadn't been back for two years, and when they wanted to keep him, he couldn't refuse.
Later, her father got into trouble and died of drunkenness.
Zhang Jianhua had already given all the money in his pocket to Xie Li, and he had to keep on paying, so he couldn't hide it anymore, so he told her the whole story.
At this time, Guan Yuan completely forgot about Zhang Jianhua's confession to her and told Xie Li the truth directly.
"At that time, he told me that you were his classmate, and you were young and ignorant at that time, so you ate the forbidden fruit. You were very scared, so you didn't tell your family. Later, he passed the college entrance examination and you failed, so you were separated. As for you two children, he didn't know about it until you were ten years old. It was that year when he went home to worship his ancestors that he knew about it."
