Chapter 19
Yunmian: “…”
I don't quite understand it, but I also seem to understand it. In short, I don't quite understand it.
So the confused child held the white and warm boiled egg in his hand and asked a very cold and realistic question: "How much salary do you want to pay my mother?"
The excitement of the system came to an abrupt end, and the whole day that followed fully demonstrated what "silence is golden" meant.
After the village doctor confirmed that there was nothing serious wrong with her body, Yunmian was carried on her mother's back and walked back home step by step.
Even though the little girl behaved well and said she could walk all the way, her mother still carefully carried the five-year-old girl on her back with her thin body, walking step by step with difficulty but steadily.
So early this morning, the third child and his wife of Zhao Guangcheng's family cried and made a fuss about dividing the family property. Later, the eldest and second child were also tempted by what they said. In addition, when Zhao Yuntao and Zhao Yunhai heard that they didn't have to go to school anymore, they threw a tantrum at home and refused to go to other primary schools dozens of kilometers away. The whole family has been crying and quarreling these days, and the situation has become increasingly out of control. Now their family is almost in chaos, and the gossip about their family by the villagers will probably last until next year.
However, Yunmian only heard these things from the system uncle. Her mother would not gossip about the villagers in front of her. The mother and daughter lived their lives peacefully. With the compensation from the Zhao family, Yunmian's daily quality of life improved a lot compared to before.
When it was almost noon, Yunmian had just asked her mother what to eat for lunch when she heard some noise outside. However, her mother restrained her movements and she could only watch her mother walk over, open the door, and whisper to Zhao Xiaoli who came in for some reason.
At the gate of the courtyard where Yunmian couldn't hear, Yunjin saw Zhao Xiaoli appear, and there was a hint of understanding in his eyes, but he did not open the door to let her in as he did before.
Yun Jin took out a tightly wrapped cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Xiaoli, saying in a gentle voice, "Here is the money from the sales. I haven't seen you come to get it these few days, so I have been carrying it with me. There are a total of 800 yuan. Count it and see if there is any mistake."
Now, almost two days have passed since the day of "discharge from hospital".
Although Yunmian has been confined to bed by her mother these two days on the pretext of recuperating from an injury and not allowed to go out to run around, she has the System Uncle who can fly everywhere without wings, so in just two days, Yunmianmian has had enough fun listening to the System Uncle's vivid stories.
The melon was produced by Zhao Guangcheng's family. When they returned home that day, there was a huge quarrel in their family, and they banged tables and smashed bowls.
Later, she was suppressed by Zhao Guangcheng. The next day, the third daughter-in-law of the Zhao family had a big quarrel with the eldest daughter-in-law in a sarcastic manner, because the ones who beat were the two sons of the eldest family, and the one who was beaten was the son of the third family. In the end, not only could the four brothers not go to school, but none of them escaped. The compensation for Yunjin had to be paid by the two families and the public middle school together. It would be strange if the third family could swallow this.
I heard that even the innocent second son of the Zhao family, that is, Zhao Xiaoli's parents, could not escape the fate of paying compensation. After all, they have not yet divided the family. Almost all the money in the family is in the hands of the old lady... Zhao Xiaoli counted the money obediently, and took out a fifty-dollar bill and handed it to Yunjin.
Under Yun Jin's calm gaze, she hesitated for a long time before she whispered hesitantly, "This is money for Aunt's running errands and hard work, and also, some nutrition money for Mianmian. My eldest brother and second brother beat Mianmian, and if I hadn't abandoned Mianmian and ran home that day... Anyway, I'm really sorry, Aunt, please take the money and buy some food for Mianmian to replenish her body."
Yun Jin stared at her for a long while, then reached out and took out 20 yuan from the cloth bag she was holding, and put the 50 yuan back. Under the girl's surprised gaze, she said calmly: "You are not to blame for this, and you don't need to apologize. I only took what I should take. Don't come to play with Mian Mian so often in the future. It will be bad for you if your family sees you."
Zhao Xiaoli didn't expect to get such an answer and instructions. The guilt that had been suppressed in her heart for several days suddenly surged up, irritating her nose so much that it felt slightly sour. She held the money in her hand and responded in a low voice.
"Thank you, Auntie... I understand. Don't worry, I won't come to see Mianmian so often in the future."
She was ready to leave after she finished speaking, but just as she moved her toes, she seemed to remember something, lowered her head and bit her lip hesitantly, and finally seemed to have made up her mind, and said to Yun Jin in a very quiet voice: "Aunt, if you still believe in me, don't spend all the money our family compensates you. Use it to secretly buy more food and store it for next year... maybe it can save your life."
After saying this, she didn't wait for Yun Jin to ask any more questions. She quickly stuffed a wad of money into the pocket of the inner shirt that she had specially asked her mother to sew for her, and then disappeared in a flash.
It’s like... I’m afraid of being caught by Yun Jin and getting to the bottom of it.
Yun Jin looked at her hurriedly running back thoughtfully.
-
Yunmian was allowed to get out of bed and walk around by her mother only after autumn passed.
People say that it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Yunmian did not have to lie down for a hundred days, but she ate very well every day after returning home from her injury. Her mother prepared food for her in almost every way possible. She could eat meat every few days, but it was limited to the small bowl of meat that belonged to her, not her mother.
Except for eating and sleeping, she spent most of her time with a book in her hands, carefully learning to read with the system uncle, accompanied by her mother.
The Zhao family finally split up because they were not united and would have to separate sooner or later. Although there was a big fight over the separation, they finally separated after Yunmian came back from the county town after a physical examination.
However, no matter what the Zhao family did, Yunjin didn't care. She wouldn't gossip about them behind their backs with the women in the village. When she met the Zhao family on the road or elsewhere, she was always indifferent. The villagers who watched from the sidelines understood that Yunjin and Zhao Guangcheng's family had a grudge against each other.
On the day of the winter solstice, Yunjin went out early. Mianmian sat alone in the yard, facing the not-so-hot sun at noon in winter, reciting the text with her head shaking.
The system was squatting on the small table in front of her, supervising her. As she watched, she suddenly felt a new and strange feeling that she had never experienced before in more than three thousand tasks.
——Unconsciously, the host actually brought it along and integrated it into this strange mission world.
She was not as eager to make money and build a career as other hosts, nor did she do anything big to change Zhaojiagou or anyone else's life. She was just an ordinary person and became a part of this world.
In fact, due to various factors, she and the object of her mission, the heroine of this world, Zhao Xiaoli, have not had any contact for nearly two months.
Naturally, the task progress bar got stuck at 28 percent and never moved again.
Just as he was thinking about it, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. System and Yunmian looked over and saw Yunjin, who had gone out early, pushing the door open and walking in with a basket on his back.
"Mom, are you carrying the clothes?" Yunmian put down the book and ran over. When her mother bent down to put down the backpack, she stood on tiptoe to look inside.
She thought her mother was carrying clothes for mending and washing for the villagers, but the basket was covered with a thick layer of cloth, and golden straw stalks were sticking out of the holes underneath.
Yunmian had good ears and seemed to hear a short, childish hum? ?
"Lift the cloth and take a look." Yun Jin said to her daughter with a smile.
The system had already flown over to watch the fun, and originally wanted to tell the host the answer, but seeing the host mother's expression, it silently swallowed the words back.
Under her mother's smiling gaze, Yunmian carefully uncovered the thick cloth on the backpack bit by bit.
The sunlight from overhead shone in, illuminating the three furry little creatures that were huddled together in a small ball in the backpack.
"Wow!" Yunmian almost jumped up in surprise: "It's a puppy!!!"
She leaned over the edge of the basket and reached out her hand to carefully touch the puppies' furry ears and backs. She was afraid of hurting them, so she only dared to touch them gently with two fingers.
"Mom, there are three puppies!" Mianmian excitedly lay on her mother's lap, staring at the puppies who were sniffing around on the ground to get familiar with their environment.
Yun Jin rubbed her daughter's head in amusement: "Are you that excited? You can't even blink when you see it."
Mianmian the chicken nodded: "I don't have to go to Grandma Peng's house to play with Dahuang anymore. Dahuang runs away when he sees me now, and he won't eat even if I feed him worms!"
Yunjin, System: "..."
Have you ever seen a dog eat bugs?
Suddenly, three little and super cute friends came to the house. Yunmian was very excited the whole day and kept stretching out her hand for them to sniff. It was not until she crawled into bed and prepared to go to sleep at night that she remembered to ask her mother why she suddenly wanted to raise puppies.
And I raise three of them at a time!
When the little girl asked this, her childish voice was still a little tangled: "Will the puppies eat a lot? Do we have so much food for them? What if they starve to death?"
"Why are you worrying so much at such a young age?" Yun Jin replied helplessly, "Don't worry, these three little dogs will be able to find food for themselves when they grow up. I, your mother, can even support you, so it's even easier to support dogs."
At least dogs will find food for themselves when they are hungry, but Mianmian will just shout for her mother at the top of her lungs when she is hungry.
"But there are three of them!" Yunmian was not convinced: "They must have eaten more than me!"
Yunjin ignored her. Mianmian puffed up her cheeks and sulked for a long time. Finally, she couldn't stand the novelty anymore and continued to wake her mother up. She said happily, "Can you let me name the puppies? I can definitely give them the most beautiful names in the world!"
Yun Jin was almost asleep when she was suddenly woken up by her daughter. In her half-awake state, she had the urge to throw the little girl out to sleep with the dog. In the end, she simply pulled the quilt over her head to completely cover her mouth that was chattering in the middle of the night.
