Just when Lai Erniang was hesitating, Zhang Guocai grabbed the microphone and spoke in an angry tone.
"What's wrong with you, girl? Didn't you just ask your uncle these questions? Why are you asking Lai Er Niang again? Don't you trust your uncle?"
Under Zhang Guocai's unreasonable demands, Jiang Li could only keep apologizing, and the matter ended without any result.
While Zhang Guocai and Lai Erniang were answering the phone, Jiang Yun pulled a small stool and sat next to them with his chin supported by his hands.
She listened to them quietly, without saying a word from beginning to end.
Zhang Guocai hung up the phone and turned around to see Jiang Yun who was in a daze.
Zhang Guocai felt a little distressed when he saw her like this and couldn't help but ask a question.
"Xiaoyun, do you want to go to the provincial capital? Do you want to live with your brothers and sisters?"
Zhang Guocai has asked Jiang Yun this question countless times.
Every time Jiang Yun got the answer of shaking his head without hesitation, and now when asked again, he had basically no hope in his heart.
Unexpectedly, this time, Jiang Yun hesitated for a moment, and even his shaking of the head was much slower than usual.
Zhang Guocai was surprised at her change. Although Jiang Yun was still pretending to be strong, her psychological defenses had actually collapsed.
From her recent behavior, it can be seen that Jiang Yun has regretted her original decision.
It's just that she was stubborn at a young age, and even though she felt regretful in her heart, she was unwilling to show it.
She struggled alone every day and had to answer questions with a false understanding.
Zhang Guocai thought about it and felt that she was very tired, but Jiang Yun was already 12 years old this year, and she was able to take responsibility for her own actions.
If she herself is unwilling to go to the provincial capital, forcing her will only backfire.
Zhang Guocai didn't want Jiang Yun's condition to worsen, so he never dared to force her.
He could also see that something was not right with Jiang Yun recently.
But after all, the timing is not right, and it’s useless to ask now.
Lai Erniang almost revealed Jiang Yun's current situation in a moment of impulse. If Jiang Li rushed back in a hurry, all the previous efforts would be in vain.
Only when Jiang Yun figures it out and is willing to go to the provincial capital, and she personally nods, will this matter avoid backfire.
Zhang Guocai appears to be a rough guy, but he is actually very thoughtful.
He was especially worried about his nephews and nieces at home.
After Jiang Yun went back with them, he took a small stool from the yard and went to wait at the village entrance again.
People who don’t know the truth think that Jiang Yun was abandoned by his family and became a poor left-behind child, so he often looks around the village.
Fortunately, most people in Jiangjia Village know Jiang Li and know about their family situation.
Especially since Jiang Li, a weak woman, traveled thousands of miles to the Northeast and accomplished something on her own that the Public Security Bureau could not do.
When Jiang Li was pregnant, she sold Jiang Yun out of confusion, but later she found her back with her own ability.
Her previous behavior was indeed incomprehensible, but now everyone is gradually understanding her.
They also learned a new term, postpartum depression.
This term was proposed by Jiang Li. No one in their village had ever heard of it before.
If a woman in the village seems mentally unwell after getting pregnant or giving birth, they will think that she may be mentally ill.
At that time, they never thought that this disease was caused by the woman's physical weakness during pregnancy and childbirth, and the excessive mental stress, which led to emotional breakdown.
There were also some educated people in the village who went to the hospital to inquire about the situation.
After inquiring, they found that this disease did exist, but they had never heard of it before because they were ignorant.
Fortunately, apart from them, most people in the town don't know about this disease.
There are so many people who don’t know, so it’s understandable that they don’t know.
Jiang Li had been away from the village for some time and didn't realize that the professional terms she had mentioned inadvertently had brought benefits to the women in the village, allowing them to receive more tolerance and understanding from their husbands and in-laws when they were pregnant.
These women initially thought Jiang Li was being pretentious, but only after they benefited from it did they slowly begin to change their minds.
Their attitude towards Jiang Li has also changed from envy and jealousy at the beginning to heartfelt blessings now.
Apart from his own family and the team leader and his wife, Jiang Li did not care about the affairs of other people in the village.
In her opinion, raising the children and making money are the top priorities at the moment.
She never cared about the twists and turns in the villagers' hearts from beginning to end.
Her energy is limited, these things have nothing to do with her, and she won't waste her time on them.
Jiang Yun went out, and Lai Er Niang sat in the yard and couldn't help complaining.
"Haven't you noticed that Jiang Yun's mental state is getting worse and worse? Jiang Li is Jiang Yun's sister. She finally found her sister, so it's normal for her to care about her."
"You hid such an important matter from her. If Jiang Li knew the truth and blamed her, it would affect the relationship between you and your nephew. Wouldn't that be more trouble than it's worth?"
Lai Erniang was muttering to herself while she was cutting bamboo.
She knew that Zhang Guocai had a stubborn temper and didn't even dare to express his anger loudly.
Zhang Guocai felt distressed when he saw her self-pitying look, and couldn't help but explain a few words.
"The time has not come yet. If you tell Jiang Li about Jiang Yun's situation, given her decisive temper, do you think she will rush back to the village immediately?"
Lai Erniang imagined this scene in her mind. Although she didn't want to admit it, this was indeed what Jiang Li would do.
She nodded reluctantly, and Zhang Guocai did not press her, but continued speaking with reason and evidence.
"Although Jiang Yun misses his brother and sister now, he still hasn't let go of his hatred for Jiang Li. If I let them meet now, the anger that Jiang Yun had just suppressed will surge again, which means all his previous efforts will be in vain."
Zhang Guocai's words made perfect sense, and Lai Erniang really couldn't say anything to refute him, so she could only nod again.
"But, but who knows when Jiang Yun will let go of her hatred? If she can't let go, will they sisters never see each other again?"
"Ever since Jiang Li left the village, Jiang Yun has been like a withered flower, withering away at a speed visible to the naked eye. If this continues for a long time, her body won't be able to take it!"
"Don't worry! Jiang Yun's thoughts have already begun to waver, and it won't be long before she's completely shaken. When she does, I'll tell Jiang Li about Jiang Yun's situation."
"Do you know what that meant then?"
"When Jiang Yun needed her the most, Jiang Li suddenly appeared. She might become Jiang Yun's salvation, or even completely forgive Jiang Li!"
