Chapter 287 Going to Watch the Show
"Aunt, did you and Uncle both know that Yao Guohua was going to do this shameful thing?" Yao Shula asked directly.
My aunt nodded as she washed the dishes.
"Yes, your eldest uncle went to the countryside last week to deliver some custom-made furniture and happened to be at Yao Guohua's place."
He didn't even need to ask the locals before telling your uncle.
They say your dad got together with a local widow with two children, and they just got married. Then he applied to be transferred back to the county's machinery factory.
Originally, the machinery factory wouldn't approve it, but later, for some reason, the provincial capital issued a document saying that all the machinery factories in the countryside would be shut down, so the machinery factory had no choice but to transfer your father back.
The moment the transfer order was issued, that widow Wang who married your father immediately jumped up.
She went around the village telling everyone that she was going to take her two children to the city to work for the government, and that they would all be city dwellers from now on. Oh, and she also said that Yao Guohua didn't lack housing, and that he had two other houses besides the factory dormitory!
When your uncle heard this, he thought, "They've even got their hands on the house you live in!"
That's why we said we wanted to stay at your place for a couple of days.
Shura, don't worry, your uncle, your cousin, and I have all discussed it. If Yao Guohua dares to come, we'll show him what it means to be humiliated.
However, your uncle and I both thought that Yao Guohua would definitely go to your grandmother's place first. Isn't there a room in the old Yao family house for Yao Guohua...?
"Grandma said that the house belonged to Shuli, and was later lent to Qingnian for his wedding. Last year, Qingnian's company allocated him a house, and they moved out. After the house became empty, Grandma tidied it up and locked it up," Yao Shula quickly corrected.
Upon hearing this, the eldest aunt immediately nodded in agreement.
"Your grandma did the right thing! That house should have been given to you. If it had been given to Yao Guohua, who knows which family would have benefited from it in the future!"
Before your uncle and I came over that day, we went to see your grandma and told her about Yao Guohua. We told her to keep an eye on things, because Yao Guohua is probably going to take that widow Wang back to live with him.
Your grandma told me not to worry, and that if they dared to go, she would break Yao Guohua's legs.
She also asked me to keep an eye on things here for the next couple of days, because she's worried that your dad might come first and she won't be able to take care of you.
Your uncle and I have figured it out; the Yao family members are all good people, except for that Yao Guohua, who doesn't seem like a member of the Yao family at all.
You should stay home quietly. I've heard that Wang Gua has a bad mouth and curses at everything. You and your siblings are all decent people, there's no need to lower yourself to her level.
I don't care. Your uncle and I will stand up for you. Anyway, this is the house that Grandpa gave to your mother. It belongs to the Shu family and has nothing to do with Yao Guohua.
"Did you hear me? You all stay inside and don't come out." The eldest aunt said, glancing at Yao Shula.
Yao Shula knew her aunt meant well, but she still wanted to see the excitement at the Yao family's old house...
Grandma will definitely give Yao Guohua a good scolding!
Aunt Yao, who has been a nice person for several years, must have seized the opportunity to make the most of it!
And then there's Third Sister-in-law, whose personality has drastically changed; she's definitely not one to mince words anymore. And now, Chun Nian Sister understands that she only loves herself and her son…
I really want to go see what's going on!
Yao Shula was itching to get there, and then she glanced at Xiao Tiantian, who was playing with Qiangqiang while listening to the commotion.
With just one glance, Xiao Tiantian immediately understood.
He rushed into the house with Qiangqiang, grabbed some toilet paper, and then dragged Qiangqiang outside.
"Sister, Aunt, we need to go to the restroom!"
My aunt didn't even have time to say anything.
Only then did Yao Shula feel at ease, rolling up her sleeves and standing next to her aunt.
"Auntie, let me help you wipe the dishes!"
...
Xiao Tian rushed along with Qiang Qiang, afraid of missing some great show if they were late.
Qiangqiang was panting as he ran.
"Uncle, what are we doing here? Mom doesn't allow me to come here at this time," Qiangqiang said, following closely behind Xiaotian.
Little Tiantian held Qiangqiang's little hand tightly.
"What did your mother say when she sent you here?" Xiao Tiantian asked.
"Let my uncle and maternal uncle watch over me and play with me!" Qiangqiang said immediately.
"Yes! I'm watching you now, afraid of losing you, so I don't even dare to let go of your hand."
"Also, am I playing with you right now? Is your uncle doing what your mother asked?" Xiao Tiantian asked with a straight face.
Strong vs. Strong...
That seems to make sense. Right now, isn't my uncle just watching me and taking me out to play?
It's okay! I'm just following in my uncle's footsteps and listening to my mom!
"That's right! We are all obedient good children." Qiangqiang immediately felt relieved.
Little Tian chuckled. See, kids are easy to coax; I can soothe them with just a little coaxing.
The Yao family's old house is just ahead. Xiao Tiantian originally planned to take Qiangqiang to a quiet place to hide so that his grandma and the others wouldn't find out.
Looking at this scene now... we don't need to sneak around anymore; we're lucky to have found a place at all.
A huge crowd had gathered in circles in front of the Yao family's old house. Little Tiantian dragged Qiangqiang along, and they had to wade through countless legs before they finally managed to find a place where they could see the commotion.
...
At the entrance of the Yao family's old house, Yao Guohua, unable to even enter the gate, stood there with a livid face.
Beside him stood a woman in her forties, slightly overweight, with short hair and a somewhat dark complexion.
This person was none other than Widow Wang, Yao Guohua's newlywed wife.
At this moment, just like before, Widow Wang encountered something unpleasant, sat down on the ground, and began to wail.
Along with Widow Wang, two children, a boy and a girl, were also wailing.
The older one was about twelve or thirteen years old, and the younger one was about seven or eight.
The two children sat on the ground and cried along with Widow Wang.
Xiao Tiantian only glanced at it before explaining it to Qiangqiang next to her.
"Fake crying, all thunder and no rain, not even tears, just howling at the top of one's lungs."
However, their mother cried better than the two children; her voice was melodious and varied, unlike the two children who just knew how to open their mouths and wail loudly, without any skill whatsoever.
Strong vs. Strong...
"Uncle, you seem very experienced!"
Little Tiantian...
"Well, you'll understand once you see more of it. Okay, go watch the show! This kind of show isn't common, so watch carefully and learn how they cry!" Xiao Tiantian changed the subject.
...
To everyone's surprise, Grandma Yao sat at the entrance of the old house without showing any signs of anger.
Behind Grandma Yao were the women of the Yao family, all of whom had rolled up their sleeves, ready to make a big splash.
