Chapter 47: Self-esteem is worthless
Liang Jinyu subconsciously looked towards the house and frowned slightly.
"I'm doing some work in the next village, and I came to bring you a message."
"Sister-in-law, let's talk here."
Liang Jinyu led the woman to the door and said apologetically, "My mother-in-law is not feeling well and is resting. Please keep your voice down, sister-in-law."
The woman quickly covered her mouth and lowered her voice: "Oh, I didn't know. I'm so sorry."
Liang Jinyu shook her head and asked nervously, "Sister-in-law, are you here for the household registration certificate?"
Last time Dani made a hurried trip, Xiang Linchuan originally wanted Liang Jinyu to go there a month later, but he unexpectedly had something urgent to do, so he changed the time and asked Liang Jinyu to go there tomorrow.
Liang Jinyu was originally worried, but when she heard this, she asked in surprise, "Do you mean the household registration certificate has been issued?"
"That's right. He is away this time and it is estimated that he will not be back until after the New Year. He knows that you are anxious, so he asked his connections to arrange it in advance."
"Very good!"
Liang Jinyu was very excited. She had waited for two lifetimes and was finally going to get her household registration certificate.
"Sister-in-law, go back and tell Li Zheng that I will go there tomorrow morning. I will definitely go there."
The woman agreed with a smile, chatted a few more words and then left.
Liang Jinyu couldn't contain her excitement and wanted to go to the mountain right away to tell Ding Fang the good news.
With the household registration certificate, they can go to the city.
Dingfang can study, and she can also do some small business, and then return to the capital after making money.
In this life, she no longer wants to live in a daze. She will definitely find out what happened at the Koutian Cenotaph that year.
I want justice for my father and for the hundreds of lives of the Liang family!
Seeing the woman leave, Chen Dani trotted over.
"Have you got your household registration certificate?"
"I have to go there again tomorrow. Did your grandma hear that?"
This was Liang Jinyu's first reaction just now. That sister-in-law's voice was like a gong and drum, and I'm afraid that even people living next door could hear it.
Chen Dani was unsure: "She had her eyes closed when I came out, so maybe she didn't hear it."
But Liang Jinyu did not dare to take chances. If Wang told Chen Lai Fu, things would be troublesome.
"Dani, please keep an eye on this for me. Don't let your grandma tell your dad about this. At least, they can't have a say before I get my household registration certificate."
Chen Dani nodded: "Of course you can, but don't blame me if I fail to keep an eye on you."
After all, she couldn't follow the old woman 24 hours a day.
Liang Jinyu naturally agreed readily, and she was already very grateful that Dani was willing to help her.
"Aren't you going to see a doctor? It will be too late if you don't go now." Chen Dani reminded.
...
Liang Jinyu almost trotted all the way up the Toad Ridge, and only had time to catch his breath before hurried down the mountain again.
But even so, by the time Liang Jinyu arrived in the city, it was already past noon.
The Song residence was just as it had been when I first saw it, deserted and with the front door closed.
No one would have thought that there were still people living in a place like this.
Liang Jinyu tried to push the door, but it was locked. She knocked several times before she heard footsteps.
"Who?" The childish voice sounded unusually alert.
"It's me, Liang Jinyu."
The door opened a crack, and Wang Erniu's dirty head poked out from inside. He glanced up at her with his dark eyes and moved away.
Liang Jinyu pursed her lips and thought, if this was the first time I met him, I would probably be frightened to death.
"Where is your sister?" Liang Jinyu walked into the room and followed the other party inside.
Wang Erniu's voice was hoarse, and his ill-fitting shoes made a "thump thump" sound as he stepped on the ground.
"In the room."
"I really can't spare the time to come over these days. Are you two okay?"
Liang Jinyu asked while looking around.
It's not noticeable at first glance, but upon closer inspection, you'll find that the house has actually been cleaned up. Although the yard is still messy, there's no debris on the path they're walking on.
After many twists and turns, we finally arrived at the main courtyard where grain was stored.
There is no change outside the yard, but once you enter you can instantly feel the breath of life.
There is a stove under the eaves, and porridge is cooking on the stove, with steam rising.
"I will pay you back later." Wang Erniu said suddenly.
Liang Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was referring to food, and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, I'll remember it."
There was a little girl peeking out from behind the door, but as soon as Liang Jinyu turned her head, she immediately shrank back, like a curious little cat.
"Juan'er, come here." Liang Jinyu waved at her.
Wang Juaner held onto the door frame and hesitated for a long time before moving half of her body out and looking at her timidly: "W-Would you like to stay and eat together?"
Liang Jinyu smiled and said, "Maybe next time. I'll come over and take a look today."
"Oh..." Wang Juaner lowered her eyes in disappointment.
Liang Jinyu was in a hurry and only told Wang Erniu to go to Li's Grain Store on West Street in the evening, where she had left some things.
There's no guarantee that you won't run into people from Yanghe Village in the city, so it's best to go out in the evening.
Wang Erniu nodded expressionlessly.
Liang Jinyu thought for a moment and then reminded them sternly, "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. If you can keep your temper, you will see the retribution of the Chen family sooner or later. But if you continue to act recklessly, I will no longer protect you."
Wang Erniu lowered his head, the knuckles of his fists turned white, as if he was trying hard to endure something.
Just as Liang Jinyu turned around and prepared to leave, Wang Erniu said angrily: "It wasn't your mother who died, so of course you would say that."
Liang Jinyu's face darkened and her voice was cold: "This is the first time I don't bother with you. If you say this again, get out! I, Liang Jinyu, don't owe you anything. If it weren't for your mother's last words, I wouldn't care about you at all!"
"Who cares?" Wang Erniu also lost his temper and turned to Wang Juaner and shouted, "Let's go."
Wang Juan'er's eyes were filled with tears. She was so scared that she hid behind the door and refused to come out.
Wang Er Newton felt embarrassed, so he walked over and grabbed Wang Juaner's arm and pulled her out: "Let's go!"
Wang Juaner held onto the door tightly, crying and shouting, "I won't leave, wuwuwu, I won't leave..."
"Go away! Everyone looks down on you. What are you still doing here? Go away!" Wang Erniu was very strong and pulled Wang Juaner's arm until it turned red.
Finally, Wang Juan'er couldn't bear it anymore and let go, and the two of them rolled down the stairs with a "bang".
Liang Jinyu had not expected this to happen. She stepped forward and was about to pull the man up, but was pushed away by Wang Erniu.
Wang Erniu has a strong sense of self-esteem and said stubbornly, "It's none of your business."
"I don't want you to care about me either. You are a bad brother. I hate you, I hate you!" Wang Juaner pushed Wang Erniu away with both hands, ran to Liang Jinyu, hugged her legs and cried loudly.
Wang Erniu was stunned, his face full of surprise and sadness.
Liang Jinyu picked up Wang Juaner, glanced at Wang Erniu and said coldly: "If you want to die, don't drag your sister with you."
"I..." Wang Erniu gritted his teeth, his eyes turned red, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something, making him feel sour and uncomfortable.
The room was filled with food, except for a layer of straw near the door.
Liang Jinyu tried to put Wang Juaner on the haystack and soothed her, "Don't cry, come down first, I'll blow on you and it won't hurt."
Wang Juaner hugged Liang Jinyu's neck and shook her head, tears still falling, but she said obediently: "It doesn't hurt. It won't hurt if Auntie hugs me."
