Chapter 304
Aunt Xie peeked out of the room and saw Yao Zao'er still standing there. She took Yao Yi's hand and whispered to her, "I was thinking, when the time comes, I'll have Zhong Lan give you Wu Zhenzhen's job instead of returning it to Wu Zhenzhen."
Yao Yi's eyes lit up.
Aunt Xie continued, "With this job, you'll feel more confident even if you return to the Ma family. Even if you don't return to the Ma family and stay at home, you won't have to worry about going to the countryside."
Although Yao Yi thought this method was good, but...
"Are Zhong Lan and Wu Zhenzhen willing?"
"No matter whether they are willing or not, we will just force Zhong Lan to transfer the job to you. Once you have completed all the formalities for the job, if Wu Zhenzhen still refuses, what else can she do?"
Yao Yi nodded in agreement: "Mom, you are still the best to me. You always think of me in everything."
"You are my own daughter. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?" Aunt Xie said with a smile.
Zhong Lan came back at this time.
When Zhong Lan saw that the door of the house was closed, she thought that Aunt Xie had taken Yao Zaoer out.
However, she tried to unlock the door, but it wouldn't open, as if it was locked from the inside.
Since the door can be locked from the inside, it means there is someone at home.
Zhong Lan knocked on the door and said, "Mom—Zao'er—is there home? Open the door."
Aunt Xie heard Zhong Lan knocking on the door and came over to open it.
Just as Zhong Lan was about to ask Aunt Xie why she locked the door from the inside, she saw Yao Yi standing behind Aunt Xie.
Seeing the wound on Yao Yi's face, Zhong Lan gasped: "Yao Yi, you're back?"
Yao Yi nodded indifferently.
Zhong Lan was about to ask Yao Yi and Ma Yong if they knew she was back, when Yao Zao'er heard Zhong Lan's voice and ran out crying, "Mom—Mom—"
Zhong Lan's eyes widened when she saw the burns on Yao Zaoer's neck and hands, as well as the wood ash smeared on them.
She squatted down, feeling distressed, and asked Yao Zao'er, "What's wrong?"
"The thermos fell over and the hot water spilled on me. It hurts... it hurts..." Yao Zaoer said while crying.
Zhong Lan's face turned ugly. She asked Aunt Xie, "Mom, what's going on?"
Aunt Xie knew she was in the wrong, and she stiffened her neck with a guilty conscience and said, "How would I know? I went to look for Yiyi, and when I came back I saw Zao'er like this."
"You left Zao'er here alone?" Zhong Lan's voice rose a few notches.
"I'm going to look for Yiyi. Can I take her with me? You know who the Ma family is."
"Then you can't leave Zao'er at home alone!" Zhong Lan said angrily, "Have you taken Zao'er to the hospital?"
"I don't have time to take her there. I'll take her there when you get back."
"No time?" Zhong Lan took a few deep breaths, almost exploding with anger: "Your granddaughter was scalded like this by hot water, and you didn't have time to take her to the hospital, so you smeared her with wood ash?! She's your own granddaughter!"
"You're back now, so take her there quickly." The person who spoke was not Aunt Xie, but Yao Yi.
Zhong Lan picked up Yao Zaoer and glared at Yao Yi fiercely.
She knew that nothing good would happen as long as Yao Yi was at home.
"You are speaking with such confidence now. Why didn't you speak to the Ma family members like this when you were at the Ma family? Why are you only acting arrogantly in front of your own family members? If you could use this energy on the Ma family members, your parents and your brother wouldn't have to worry so much about you." Zhong Lan said, and carried Yao Zaoer to the hospital.
Yao Yi was irritated by Zhong Lan's words and became angry and embarrassed.
It’s a pity that Zhong Lan had already finished walking quickly with Yao Zaoer in her arms. Yao Yi wanted to scold Zhong Lan, but Zhong Lan couldn’t hear her.
"Mom, look! This is my home, and Zhong Lan, an outsider, dares to speak to me like this in my home!" Yao Yi said angrily to Aunt Xie.
Although Aunt Xie was also dissatisfied with Zhong Lan's attitude towards Yao Yi just now, the cause of the incident was that she did not take good care of Yao Zaoer, which led to Yao Zaoer being burned like that, and Zhong Lan was angry.
Aunt Xie tried to smooth things over, saying, "Don't bother with her. Mom will make you whatever you want to eat."
While Aunt Xie was making lunch, Yao's father and Yao Hong came back.
Like Zhong Lan, Yao's father and Yao Hong saw that the door was closed and thought that Aunt Xie was not at home. But when they tried to unlock it and it didn't open, they knocked on the door and called out to Aunt Xie to open it.
When Yao's father and Yao Hong saw Yao Yi at home, they were first shocked and distressed by the injuries on her face, and then they were surprised that Ma Yong was willing to let Yao Yi come back.
Aunt Xie told Yao's father and Yao Hong everything about how Yao Yi came back.
After finishing speaking, both Yao's father and Yao Hong fell silent.
Seeing that Yao's father and Yao Hong were silent, Yao Yi asked, "You don't want me to come back, do you want me to die in the Ma family?"
"Why are you so extreme when you speak?" Yao's father frowned and said, "You are my daughter. How can I not wish you the best and hope you come back? But you came back without telling the Ma family. You know the Ma family's temper. If the Ma family finds out you are gone, they will definitely come here first to look for you. What are you going to do then?"
Of course Yao Yi knew this problem, but she didn't want to think about it too much.
"Anyway, I will never go back to the Ma family." Yao Yi said with his neck tilted back.
"You married Ma Yong and married into the Ma family. You can't just not go back if you say you don't want to. It's not like we haven't gone to the Ma family to support you before and wanted to take you back, but what happened? We have been beaten by the Ma family twice. You just come back like this this time. Do you want us to be beaten by the Ma family again?" said Yao's father.
Yao Yi became emotional: "Do you just want to watch me live a life worse than pigs and dogs in the Ma family, and watch me being beaten and scolded by everyone in the Ma family?!"
"No one wants to see you being bullied by the Ma family, but running back like this won't solve the problem at all," said Yao's father.
"What can't be solved? You're just afraid of the Ma family, afraid they'll beat you up!" Yao Yi pointed at her father and yelled, "You're not as good as Mom! In this family, Mom is the only one who truly cares about how I live in the Ma family!"
Seeing that he couldn't communicate with Yao Yi at all, Yao's father could only frown and remain silent.
Seeing that it had been a long time and there was no sign of Zhong Lan and Yao Zao'er, Yao Hong asked Aunt Xie, "Is Zhong Lan not back yet? Where's Zao'er? Why can't I see her?"
Aunt Xie said with a somewhat unnatural look: "Zhong Lan took Zao'er to the hospital."
"What's wrong with Zao'er?" Yao Hong asked with concern.
"I got burned." Aunt Xie said vaguely.
"Burns? How did you get burned? Is it serious?" Yao Hong asked.
"It's a bit serious." Aunt Xie only said this and was unwilling to continue.
Yao Hong was still waiting for Aunt Xie's next words when there was a sudden knock on the door as if to break it down.
