"What happened to my great aunt?"
Jiang Li saw that everyone was speaking hesitantly and was so anxious that tears were about to come out.
Seeing that she was anxious, the villagers had no choice but to tell her about Liu Guilan's situation.
"Ah? My aunt has passed away? What should I do? I have no relatives left. I spent all my money on the train tickets after traveling thousands of miles here, and the last bit of money I had was used to buy gifts for my aunt."
"Now you tell me that my aunt is gone. I have no money and no place to live. What am I going to do in the future?"
Jiang Li squatted on the ground and cried loudly, and all the villagers were moved.
Although they all look big and strong, many of them are still quite compassionate.
Seeing her, a little girl, crying sadly because of her aunt's death, they were also moved and kept their heads down in silence.
"If you really have nowhere to live, why don't you stay in the house where your great aunt lived for a while?"
"But doesn't Lai Er Niang live there? You all know her temper. She's very strange and won't let outsiders get close to her. Will it be okay for this little girl to go there?"
"Besides, the house has become public property of the village now. It's not appropriate to suddenly arrange for a strange little girl to live there, right?"
Some people may sympathize with it, but it is actually quite rational.
"I have a letter of introduction. I can prove my identity."
Jiang Li opened the bundle in a panic and rummaged through it. It took her a long time to find a neatly folded letter of introduction from the innermost part of the bundle.
Jiang Li took the initiative to open the letter of introduction and show it to everyone. There were not many literate people in the village, but everyone saw her sincerity.
Someone informed the village cadres of the situation here. Most of the village cadres were literate. They took the letter of introduction from Jiang Li, read it again and again, and finally confirmed that it was true.
"Since you are really Liu Guilan's descendant and you have nowhere to live now, let's take you to the house where she lived."
"The current owner of this house is not someone you can mess with. If you're capable, stay here on your own. We can't do anything about it if you're kicked out."
The village cadres meant that they were only responsible for leading the way and not for the subsequent reception. Whether Jiang Li could stay depended on her ability.
Even so, Jiang Li continued to bow to them, his face full of gratitude.
The villagers were very pleased with Jiang Li's gratitude. They sent two people to lead the way, and Jiang Li came to the house where Lai Erniang currently lived.
Along the way, Jiang Li kept asking the village cadres about Lai Erniang's specific situation.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without defeat. She doesn't have much time left, so Jiang Li needs to be well prepared before leaving.
As soon as they came over, Lai Erniang started cursing and seemed very nervous about the house.
Because this house is for her temporary residence, she does not have the property rights and may be evicted at any time.
The villagers had thought about driving her away, but she was very aggressive just to have a house to live in.
No matter who comes, it's useless. It's simply unacceptable.
Lai Erniang was alone and no one could exploit her weakness, so she was able to keep the house.
This time they sent Jiang Li here out of kindness on the one hand, and on the other hand they wanted to disgust Lai Er Niang.
This woman is too vicious. We need to find someone to teach her a lesson. Even if we can't teach her a lesson, at least we can make her feel disgusted.
The two village cadres took Jiang Li to the place where he was staying, briefly explained the situation to him, and then quickly left.
Jiang Li stood at the gate of the yard and stared at Lai Er Niang.
"Hello, Lai Erniang, I'm Jiang Li, nice to meet you."
"You're happy to meet me, but I'm not happy to meet you. I advise you to be sensible and not to set your sights on my house, or I'll chase you away with a broom."
"I have no ill intentions, I just really have nowhere to live right now, so I have to come and stay here for a while."
Jiang Li fabricated a very miserable life story for himself, but this story was not entirely fabricated.
Part of it was about the original owner's future ending, and she shed tears as she spoke.
Lai Erniang, who had been so ferocious just now, actually felt pity for the poor little girl when she saw her.
She thought about her own life experience. Her husband and children had passed away one after another, and her house was destroyed in the mudslide. She was left alone without even a place to live.
She originally thought that she was miserable enough, but she didn't expect that the girl in front of her was even more pitiful than her. She took the initiative to open the yard door and invite her in.
"Come in, don't stand outside, let's talk inside."
The house is not big, just a simple two-bedroom apartment, but it is kept very clean.
It can be seen that Lai Erniang is a person who understands life and loves cleanliness. However, it is indeed pitiful that such a person has lost her husband and children at such a young age.
Jiang Li quickly handed over the gift he had prepared.
"This is the gift I originally intended to give to my aunt. Now that she's gone, I'm really bothering you by living here. These are my gifts, and although they're not much, I hope you don't mind."
Jiang Li spoke in a gentle voice, her eyes were sincere and her tone was earnest.
Lai Er Niang originally didn't plan to accept it, but this little girl was so good at talking that she was afraid of hurting her feelings if she refused.
After receiving the gift, Lai Erniang treated Jiang Li even more kindly. She took Jiang Li's hand warmly, arranged a room for her, and took the initiative to make the bed for her.
"My daughter, you must be hungry after coming all this way. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it for you."
"Auntie, I'll eat whatever you eat. Children from poor families like us are not picky eaters."
Jiang Li is not only good at speaking but also good at behaving. Lai Erniang was very happy to hear this and became even more polite to her.
For the rest of the day, Jiang Li helped with the work and took the initiative to cook. In addition, she knew how to make snacks and her stir-fried dishes were also very delicious. Simple ingredients could create unique delicacies.
Who doesn’t like a girl who is diligent, smart and talkative?
In just one day, Lai Erniang was coaxed into smiling from ear to ear by her.
Ever since Lai Erniang's family encountered an unexpected change, she hasn't smiled for a long time.
Jiang Li's arrival brought a ray of light to her boring life, instantly illuminating her dark heart.
Lai Erniang felt as if her dead daughter had come back. According to age calculation, Jiang Li was exactly the same age as her daughter.
Because Jiang Li is such a caring director, Lai Erniang has already treated her as her own daughter.
At night, Jiang Li lay down in the comfortable bed, closed his eyes and thought about tomorrow's countermeasures.
The time left for her is getting less and less. She cannot waste every day and must achieve a goal every day.
What Jiang Li didn't know was that while she was isolated and helpless in Zaoni Village, Shen Changan had already gotten off the train and set foot on the unfamiliar land of Northeast China.
