The dilemma was that he didn't know whether he should tell Jiang Yuting, and the guilt stemmed from the fact that he had given himself away when he saw Jiang Yuting.
After this farce, quite a few people are already watching their side.
Aunt Jiang and Uncle Jiang looked at each other and knew that the news of Jiang Yuting's return could no longer be kept secret.
Resignedly, he opened the door and said to Jiang Yuting in an annoyed tone,
"Come in and talk!"
He glared fiercely at Jiang Xiaomei beside him.
"You brat, come in here too, you're always causing me trouble."
Jiang Xiaomei didn't care about Aunt Jiang's attitude at all. She knew her mother's character; she was always kind and would never do anything outrageous unless forced into it.
"Sister Jiang."
Walking up to Jiang Yuting, Jiang Xiaomei didn't immediately cling to her like she did more than a decade ago, but her red eyes were enough to express her longing for Jiang Yuting.
"Dad, someone's trying to take Mom away from you."
"Mother, you must hold on! Jiang Xiaomei is preparing tea."
Li Yi felt a little uncomfortable that her mother's place was being taken by someone else and that she was being ignored. But the next second, her eyes crinkled into a smile, and the discomfort vanished from her mind.
"Sister Jiang, is this your daughter? She's so cute! She'll definitely be as beautiful as you when she grows up, and I wonder how many people she'll charm!"
When someone complimented her on her looks, Li Yiyi instantly became elated.
[Mom, Aunt Jiang and you have such a good relationship.]
It's been so long since you've seen her; she must miss you terribly.
The speed of the change of heart surprised both Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting.
I wonder who was talking about Jiang Xiaomei's tea just now. I also wonder what picture book my daughter has been reading; she even knows the word "tea," but her description isn't quite accurate enough.
This isn't just tea; it's a genuine outpouring of emotion.
"Aunt Jiang, you are beautiful too."
When others praise her, Li Yiyi considers herself a polite child and always feels obligated to return the compliment.
"Yi-yi is so good."
After being praised by Li Yiyi, Jiang Xiaomei's lips curled into a wide smile. Who doesn't like being praised?
Jiang Xiaomei and Li Yi started exchanging compliments, one praising the other, their faces beaming with joy, each smile more radiant than the last.
Jiang Yuting burst into laughter at the sight, and Aunt Jiang and Uncle Jiang, who walked ahead, also looked happy, but their eyes were quickly filled with worry.
"Please sit down!"
Since they've already come all this way, and even come inside, what else can she do? She can't just let them go hungry.
Upon entering the kitchen, aside from everything else, what Li Yiyi saw was that Aunt Jiang had taken out the flour that was at the bottom.
[Mom, Jiang Zuoque's mother is quite nice, unlike Jiang Zuoque.]
They even brought out flour.
White flour is the highest form of hospitality, and it's not easy to find someone to serve it.
Silently turning her head for a glance, Jiang Yuting sat down at the familiar dining table once more, feeling a sense of returning to an old haunt.
There was a misunderstanding at the time, otherwise Aunt Jiang wouldn't have had this attitude.
The lines in my mind are becoming clearer, and I'm slowly letting go of the things that are bothering me. Nothing else matters; what's important is finding what I want.
Jiang Zuoming is back. He is Jiang Zuoque's younger brother, two years younger than Jiang Zuoque. When he saw Jiang Yuting, he was first taken aback, then broke into a big smile.
"Sister Jiang."
Jiang Zuoming was very fond of his older sister, Jiang Yuting.
"Sasuke and Naruto".
Jiang Yuting nodded, overjoyed to see her old friend again.
"Sit down and eat!"
Everyone had arrived, and Aunt Jiang brought out the food. Jiang Yuting and Jiang Zuoming's pleasantries ended there.
"Jiang Yuting, you should go back right after you finish eating. This is not a place for you."
While eating, Aunt Jiang suddenly spoke coldly, but her tone softened slightly as she looked at Jiang Yuting's face.
"Leaving here is better for you and for us."
Just like the gentleness of their first meeting, in those same eyes, Jiang Yuting seemed to see again the first words Aunt Jiang had said to her when she first arrived in Jiangjia Village.
"Silly girl, just relax and stay here."
After many years, memories she thought she had forgotten suddenly resurfaced, and Jiang Yuting couldn't hold back anymore; a single, clear tear rolled down her cheek.
Sigh~
Aunt Jiang could no longer pretend, and her eyes reddened.
"You silly girl, I told you to leave, so why did you insist on coming back? You're as stubborn as a mule."
Holding a handkerchief, he awkwardly wiped away Jiang Yuting's tears, but the more he wiped, the more tears flowed, until finally both of them were crying.
"Grandma Jiang, did you ask my mother to leave because of Jiang Zuoque?"
A childish voice rang out in the main room; it was Li Yiyi's, but the name in her words made it impossible to conceal the emotional turmoil within.
"Auntie, are you kicking me out because of Jiang Zuoque? I know about what he did to my family, please don't..."
She choked up and only managed to say half of what she wanted to say before Jiang Yuting couldn't finish.
Because of one person, far from their parents and hometown, they finally found a place to stay, only to be forced to leave in fear because of the same person.
She left with resentment. Who could easily bear such pain and wandering? Not to mention, because of Jiang Zuoque, Jiang Yuting rarely went out.
"I know everything."
A huge weight was lifted from my heart; it felt like something I'd kept hidden for years could finally be confessed.
Aunt Jiang felt guilty towards Jiang Yuting's family. She loved Jiang Yuting partly because Jiang Yuting was lovable, but more so because of what Jiang Zuoque had done.
Jiang Zuoque was their eldest son, a cultured man they had raised with great care and effort. Little did they expect that his first step in acquiring knowledge would be to turn his sword against them.
