Chapter 407 Three Joyous Events
Grandma Yao was far happier than Shuxin and Shuli than when Yao Shula found a boyfriend.
When Grandma Yao heard that Yao Shula had brought her boyfriend home, she immediately felt as if a huge firework had exploded above her head.
The crackling and popping filled Grandma Yao's vision with fireworks.
Then, when Miao Yamin said that Yao Shula's boyfriend was Xiao Tiantian's cousin, Grandma Yao felt like two fireworks had exploded above her head.
My cousin Tian Tian…
For some reason, Grandma Yao wasn't surprised at all when she heard that Yao Shula's boyfriend was Lei Jingwu.
She even felt that this was a natural progression.
At that time, the men Shura interacted with most were Tian Tian's cousin and his cousin. Later, Tian Tian's cousin came over more often.
Grandma Yao thought it was Lei Jingwu who was worried about Tiantian!
Now that I think about it...
It seems like there were already some signs of it back then!
"Great! This is a good match. They are quite familiar with each other, have frequent interactions, and know each other well. They will definitely have a good life together in the future!"
Oh, this is great news! Shura's problem is solved, so I really have no more worries!
Auntie, you've wiped the table at least three times already, that's enough!
Could you help me watch the chicken soup on the stove? Once it boils, close the stove door and simmer it over low heat!
"I'm going out for a bit!" Grandma Yao shouted at the top of her lungs towards the main room of Yao Shula's house.
Yao Shula's aunt was still holding a rag when she quickly came out as well.
"Alright! Auntie, you go ahead and do your work! I'll look after things here at home, everything will be fine!"
My aunt started coming over yesterday and has been busy helping the Yao family with cleaning and drying.
Miao Yamin was about to bring her child over to help when her aunt quickly stopped her.
"Yamin, take the child home. Although there is no wind now, the temperature is low. Don't let the child get cold."
"We'll watch over things here! You go back first, we'll call you if anything happens!"
Yao Chunian, Zhong Xiaochun, and the others, who were also busy in the kitchen, gestured for Miao Yamin to go back first.
It's just a small job, right? They can handle it!
...
Grandma Yao was carrying her small cloth bag and walking towards the free market at the street corner.
The eldest granddaughter brought her younger siblings back for the Chinese New Year; the eldest granddaughter also brought her future grandson-in-law back for the Chinese New Year…
With such a wonderful thing, she doesn't feel tired no matter how far she walks.
There are many things for sale at the market now, and many people have already come out to buy New Year's goods. Although her family has already prepared a lot, Grandma Yao still feels that it is not enough.
She insisted on buying all the foods her granddaughters and grandsons loved to eat, because it was a year for family reunion!
"Hey, Sister Yao, you've actually come to the market to buy New Year's goods! Let the younger generation come out to buy them!" Someone who knew Grandma Yao immediately greeted her.
"Oh, my granddaughters are back for the New Year! Not only my eldest granddaughter, but also the granddaughter of the former top scorer in the college entrance examination is back."
So you went abroad to study, didn't you? You went to North America, which is very far away. It takes more than ten hours to fly there!
It's rare for me to come back, and it will be several years before I can come back again, as I'll be studying for my PhD abroad!
I thought I'd buy them some of their favorite foods; they said they miss home-cooked meals when they're away from home!
"My Shura brought her younger siblings back home for the Chinese New Year!"
It's not easy. The children all have to go out to study and work, so it's rare for them to come back. Shuxin is studying for her PhD in North America, and Shuli is going to Hong Kong for an internship after the Lunar New Year!
I don't know when I'll be back, so I wanted to buy some of their favorite foods so they could eat more of them!
"Well, we're happy that our child is doing so well, aren't we?"
"My eldest granddaughter came home with her boyfriend!"
"Oh, from Shanghai, not bad, good-looking! Well-proportioned features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and tall too! Most importantly, he's good to Shura!"
...
Grandma Yao tells everyone she meets that her granddaughter has returned home with her younger siblings and boyfriend.
After Grandma Yao returned from the market with two old hens and a large bag of braised food, everyone in the market knew that Yao Shula, the eldest sister of the Yao family who had gone to Shanghai to work and earn money to support her younger siblings' schooling, had returned home in glory with her younger siblings.
"Shura had a tough time! She was only twenty years old at the time, and she was single-mindedly focused on raising her younger siblings."
"Who can argue with that! We knew back then that their father... Yao Guohua, the one who's paralyzed now, did absolutely inhuman things back then!"
"Oh? There's so much going on here! I married into Yun County a bit late, so there are many things I don't know! Can you tell me about them?"
“What else could have happened! Shura and the others’ mother died less than a year ago, and Yao Guohua has already married a new wife and sent the three children to his uncle’s house so that the children wouldn’t know.”
"Yes, yes, yes! I was there when Yao Guohua got married. Shura, such a thin girl, was chasing after Yao Guohua with a kitchen knife!"
Just think about it, what must Shura, such a gentle girl, have been driven to that point that she would pick up a kitchen knife and attack someone?!
"This matter caused quite a stir at the time. The woman Yao Guohua abducted was named Song Yuling, and we don't know where she is now."
I heard that Shura's mother died of anger caused by this despicable couple, and Song Yuling was even Shura's mother's apprentice! Seducing her own master's man—tell me, is that even human?
"Still living in someone else's parents' house, it's simply..."
Fortunately, they broke off relations later. Not only did Shura raise her younger siblings well, but she also taught them to be such good children.
Shuxin was the top scorer in the city's college entrance examination back then, and now she has a doctorate from studying abroad!
Shuli is going to work in Hong Kong again. Who would have dared to do that before!
"Yes, yes, yes, Yao Guohua must be kicking himself now!"
"Heh, none of this has anything to do with him! He's just stuck in a wheelchair!"
...
In just half a day, the entire Yun County brought up all those things from back then again, and Yao Shula's image as an elder sister who was like a mother to everyone became even more impressive.
Meanwhile, these words also reached a courtyard next to the station.
The yard was a bit run-down, but at least it was clean.
A slightly plump middle-aged woman was bending over and washing clothes by the pool. Not far from her was a wheelchair with a middle-aged man sitting in it.
If Yao Shula were here, she would definitely recognize her at a glance.
The person sitting in the wheelchair was Yao Guohua, whom we hadn't heard from in a long time.
The middle-aged woman was Wang Hehua, the widow Yao Guohua later found.
Wang Hehua was washing the apron on her hands while talking to herself.
"Forget about it! She's a swan now, a phoenix, and she doesn't want to get her hands on your shit!"
