"Oh!" Chu Yan said coldly, "My wife is on a rare holiday and is coming back for a day. I want Zhou Nier to talk to her. Aunt Gao, you don't have to wait here. Don't scare my daughter anymore."
After saying this, Chu Yan listened to the increasingly loud crying sounds in the room. Thinking of his own daughter, he walked around Aunt Gao and went into the house.
Aunt Gao was unwilling to give up and wanted to shout a few more times, but she was afraid of Chu Yan, the unruly little bully, so she finally ran back home in shame.
Bah! Don't think she doesn't know. Wang Yan just finished her confinement two days ago and went back to work. What's so rare about coming back? It's just this little bastard.
When Aunt Gao returned home and saw her son dressed neatly, she felt so sad that she couldn't help crying.
Chu Yan had no time to care about Aunt Gao. When he entered the room, he saw his daughter Chu Hongying crying in her mother Wang Yaner's arms, and no matter how her mother tried to comfort her, it was useless.
Sitting opposite Wang Yan'er was Zhou Ni'er, who was crying while holding her child. The child in her arms was also screaming at the top of her lungs.
His wife had to coax the child in her arms and comfort Zhou Ni'er opposite her, and she was in a mess for a while.
When Chu Yan saw this scene, a nameless anger surged in his heart. He felt sorry for his daughter, so he suppressed his anger and stretched out his hand to Wang Yan, "Give me the child!"
Wang Yaner saw that Chu Yan was also relieved, and hurriedly handed the child to him, "Hurry up and comfort her. I just fed her and changed her diaper. I don't know why, but she just keeps crying."
How can she stay still when there are adults and children crying around her?
Chu Yan complained in his heart and carried Chu Hongying to another room. After being away from Zhou Nier and her son, Chu Hongying's crying really became much quieter. Chu Yan skillfully held Chu Hongying and coaxed her to sleep, put her in the cradle, and then went out to send Zhou Nier away.
In fact, he didn't like Zhou Nier very much. When Wang Yaner was pregnant and had her old grandmother to help her, she liked to come to his house and say that Wang Yaner was too tired, as there was no one to take care of her during her pregnancy and she still had to go to work.
Later, after the child was born, she openly and secretly mocked Wang Yan for giving birth to a girl, while she gave birth to a boy.
Chu Yan told Wang Yaner at that time to stay away from Zhou Nier.
But he felt that they both came from the same team and should take care of each other, so he never argued with Zhou Nier.
This time when something happened at Zhou Ni's home, she also found out the true face of her old mother-in-law. She was no longer as arrogant as before and came to ask Chu Yan and Wang Yan to help her.
Although Chu Yan looked down on Zhou Ni'er, he felt that it was indeed pitiful that such a thing happened in Zhou Ni'er's family, so he helped Zhou Ni run home and pass a message to the Zhou family.
"Sister Zhou!" Chu Yan walked into the room and looked at Zhou Nier who was still crying.
"I told your mother that if you want to go back, there is a place for you to stay at home."
Zhou Nier burst into tears again after hearing this. "Didn't my mom say she would come over to support me and make the decision?"
She still had injuries on her body. Yesterday morning, Aunt Gao found her son dead in her bed, but Zhou Nier knew nothing about it. Aunt Gao reached out and beat her up first.
She didn't want her stepmother to do anything, but her husband was dead and she had a child, so she definitely couldn't go back. She knew that her old mother-in-law had a job quota, and she wanted to take it over so that her old mother-in-law could stay at home to take care of the child and she could go to work in the factory.
This way you can earn some money every month and not spend all your savings.
Chu Yan shook his head. "She just said these words to me, nothing else."
Zhou Ni gritted her teeth, feeling a little resentful in her heart, but she also knew that she didn't have a very good relationship with her stepmother when she was a girl, so it was understandable that her stepmother didn't come to help her now, but she just felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
The child in her arms was crying louder and louder. Wang Yan felt a little sorry for him and couldn't help but said, "Ni'er! Go comfort Yangdan. It's not good for him to keep crying like this. He might even hurt his throat."
Gao Yang had been crying since the beginning, and Zhou Ni didn't even bother to comfort the child. Wang Yan was afraid that the child's throat would be sore from crying.
Zhou Ni pushed the child twice impatiently, feeling a little annoyed.
Chu Yan had been observing Zhou Ni from the side, and seeing that she was now in a state of anxiety, he said, "Why don't you go back? I think your child must be hungry or has peed. Go back and feed the child and change his diaper. Besides, something just happened in your family, so it's not good for you to stay at our house all the time. You have to go back and help Aunt Gao."
Zhou Ni subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, Chu Yan said, "Wang Yan finally got a day off, she also needs to rest, and it's noon now, we still have to eat if you don't."
Zhou Ni heard the impatience in Chu Yan's words, and she felt inexplicably frightened. In the year since she got married, she had also heard the aunties in the courtyard talk about Chu Yan. She knew that when Chu Yan got angry, he would not care about anything and would not give anyone face. She did not dare to argue any longer and went back with the still crying child in her arms.
"Is Hongying asleep?"
"Asleep!" Chu Yan took out some tomatoes from the house and prepared to cook them in the rice cooker outside.
"Actually, I think what Zhou Ni said makes sense. She is alone in this county town, and she has a rural household registration. Her children are still young, and the food rations are meager. The three of them in the family all rely on Aunt Gao's food rations. How can they survive?" Wang Yan said.
"After all, this is someone else's family affair. We as outsiders cannot interfere. We can only lend a hand when he holds a funeral, and the rest has nothing to do with us." Chu Yan didn't want to get involved.
Once you get involved in this kind of thing, you will be blamed no matter which side you stand on. It is better not to get involved at all. No matter what happens in the future, it will have nothing to do with them.
Wang Yan still felt a little bit reluctant. Zhou Ni was having a hard time now. Her husband died before her child was even a month old. The old lady was not easy to get along with. She thought of the friendship between them as fellow villagers and always wanted to help if she could.
Seeing that Wang Yan still wanted to talk, Chu Yan changed the subject, "I see that Hongying doesn't have much milk powder left. It will take some time before the street distributes milk powder next month. Can you ask the supply and marketing cooperative in the factory to give us a bag of milk powder this month? Don't let Hongying go hungry."
