Li Xiuying rolled up her sleeves, ready to rush in and beat Qin Xiang'e as soon as the door opened!
"Xiang'e! Zheng is back!"
Just then, Erdanzi's shout rang out from afar, and a pair of swift legs, kicking up yellow dust, came running from the official road!
Qin Xiang'e paused in her unlocking motion.
"Zhengzi is back?!" She was overjoyed and unlocked the door even faster.
Li Xiuying froze.
Why is Qin Zheng back?
Why are you back at this time?
So, is she still going to fight or not?
With a clatter, the heavy padlock and iron chain came undone, and Qin Xiang'e ran out of the house with a joyful expression.
Before Li Xiuying could even think, she instinctively took a step back.
Erdanzi, having just run up the hill, clutched his stomach and panted heavily, saying, "Aunt Xiang'e, Brother Qin Zheng came back on a motorcycle, followed by a sidecar... no, the sidecar isn't important, what's important is the black sedan that followed him! A sedan that only city people drive! So impressive!!"
"What?"
Qin Xiang'e was shocked, and the next second the loud horn of a motorcycle came from behind her.
She looked up and saw Qin Zheng riding a motorcycle with Ye Yun on the back, heading towards home.
"Wow! It really is Zhengzi and his wife!"
Qin Xiang'e slapped her thigh and ran down the slope happily to meet Qin Zheng and Ye Yun.
As for the car behind them, she didn't have time to look at it. Her joy at seeing Qin Zheng and Ye Yun far outweighed her curiosity about the car.
Li Xiuying stood there, stunned.
She took in the car following behind Qin Zheng, her surprise evident. Goodness... first a motorcycle and now a car, just how capable is her son?
What's the connection between this car and Qin Zheng?
Li Xiuying suddenly realized that she didn't know this son at all. The last time was the same, when someone from the city came to invite Qin Zheng to work... Had she been neglecting this son before?
"Erdanzi, is that really your brother Zhengzi?" Li Xiuying couldn't help but ask this question as soon as she opened her mouth.
Erdanzi's eyes instantly looked at him like he was a complete idiot. He hissed and said, "Whether it's my brother Qin Zheng or not is no longer important. I think the most important thing right now is for you to run away. You're not Brother Zheng's mother anymore. If you bully Aunt Xiang'e like this, do you think Brother Zheng will forgive you?"
Li Xiuying's face turned pale.
Erdanzi's words instantly brought her back to the harsh reality.
Qin Zheng has already severed ties with her.
But Li Xiuying refused to accept it. She was thick-skinned; if she accepted it, she wouldn't be Li Xiuying.
She gave a sarcastic smile. "Erdanzi, you can't say that. No matter what, Qin Zheng was born after I carried him for ten months. He stayed in my belly for ten months, drank my milk, and bled from my blood. What's a letter of severance? Qin Zheng is my son, and ten letters of severance can't change that! A letter of severance is worthless!"
Erdanzi, "..."
What's a letter of severance of kinship?
“Maybe the letter of severance is just a load of rubbish, but Qin Zheng’s words don’t count. If he wants to disown someone… hmph.” Erdanzi didn’t finish his sentence, just stared at Li Xiuying.
Li Xiuying's mouth trembled, and she gasped in anger.
"I advise you to run away quickly."
Erdanzi scoffed coldly, ignored her, and strode down the slope.
At this moment, Qin Zheng also reached the bottom of the slope.
The motorcycle slowly came to a stop at the bottom of the slope, and Qin Xiang'e asked Ye Yun with a happy expression how she was feeling lately.
Ye Yun smiled and said it was alright.
Qin Zheng parked the motorcycle and helped Ye Yun off. When he looked up, he saw Li Xiuying still standing on the slope.
His face instantly turned cold.
The coldness in his eyes made Li Xiuying's scalp tingle. Thinking of what she had done in the past few days, and the words of admonition from Erdanzi, she immediately put her hands in her pockets, glanced at Qin Zheng guiltily, and pretended to be nonchalant as she went down the slope.
She didn't dare to speak to Qin Zheng, and walked past Qin Zheng and Ye Yun, pretending to be calm.
As soon as she walked past, her pace quickened instantly. She ran towards Old Guo's house as if her life depended on it, without looking back, afraid that if she was even a second late, Qin Zheng would twist her head.
"What's she doing here?" Ye Yun frowned, glancing suspiciously in the direction Li Xiuying had left.
Qin Xiang'e waved and smiled, "It's nothing, she's just upset that the Guo family's grain was confiscated and given to us, so she came to ask me for more grain. Just ignore her! By the way, why are you back?"
At that moment, the rear door opened.
Mu Jingsheng took Ye Xia's hand and got out of the car, looking around blankly.
This is not Yejiagou.
If he remembered correctly, this was the Heishui Brigade near Yejiagou. He had come to the Heishui Brigade to help during the busy autumn harvest. This place was even poorer than his own Yejiagou Brigade.
When Mu Jingsheng saw Ye Yun, he took Ye Xia's hand and quickly walked over.
"Xiaoyun, what brings you to the Blackwater Brigade?"
Qin Xiang'e felt that the middle-aged man in a suit and tie looked somewhat familiar, but when she saw the beautiful woman next to him, she was instantly shocked and her eyes widened.
"This, this..."
Ye Yun's smile was somewhat bitter.
She knew that Yuan Yin, who was so shocked by Qin Xiang'e, looked extremely like her mother, so much so that it was obvious at a glance that they were mother and daughter.
Secondly, her mother was a famous young woman whose beauty was renowned for miles around.
Ye Yun looked at Qin Xiang'e, the only person who had supported and encouraged her when everyone said her mother was dead. She forced a smile, but couldn't help feeling a lump in her throat. She still smiled and said, "Aunt, this is my mother. I really found my mother..."
