"Xiaoyun?"
Walking over, Jiang Wan saw the little girl at the door. Her eyes were flickering, and she glanced into the yard from time to time, but she seemed to be on guard against someone.
I was startled when I heard her voice.
"Wanwan?"
She reached out her hand gratefully and pulled Jiang Wan over. She looked left and right, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was fine.
"I heard your grandma was going to marry you to the son of the Liang family, and I've been wanting to come see you, but my... mother has been keeping me at home, and I can't get out until now. Are you okay?"
"It's okay."
Looking at Zhang Xiaoyun in front of her, Jiang Wan's eyes became slightly moist, and the wooden shovel in her hand fell to the ground with a clang. She strode over and hugged her.
"Xiaoyun, it's great to see you again."
In her past and present lives, and in both lives combined, she only has one friend in the entire village, Xiaoyun.
Old Mrs. Zhang ruthlessly exploited their eldest wife, beating and scolding her wantonly, and Xiaoyun's situation was not good either.
Her mother left her early, leaving her with a cowardly father. At first, she was able to have enough food and clothes, but after he remarried, Xiaoyun's life fell into hell.
It was common for her to go hungry four times out of three days. Her stepmother would torture her all day long, asking her to do this or that. When she was in a bad mood, she would often take her anger out on her.
The two unpopular little girls got together and became good friends who could talk about anything.
Jiang Wan remembered that not long after her family was killed by her aunt in her previous life, Xiaoyun was ruthlessly framed by her aunt because she was favored by the male protagonist Huo Jiuyu's men.
He died tragically in the military camp, and until his death he was still thinking about erecting a monument for himself...
"Wanwan, what's wrong with you? Didn't we just meet two days ago?"
"Did Grandma Jiang hit you really hard this time? You... tell me, where are you hurt? I, I'll go back and get some money to buy you some medicine!"
Jiang Wan buried his head in her chest, shook his head, and said in a muffled voice.
"No, I'm very happy."
Zhang Xiaoyun's eyes sparkled with joy when he heard this. "I'm glad to see you, too. We're good friends."
Jiang Wan raised her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her eyes still slightly red.
"Wanwan, I ran away secretly. Seeing that you are okay, I feel relieved. This is for you."
Zhang Xiaoyun took out a small handkerchief and put it into Jiang Wan's hand.
When she opened it, she saw some scattered copper coins, about twenty cents in total, and her face changed.
"Xiao Yun, where did this money come from? I can't take it!"
"Wanwan, don't worry. This is the money I earned from washing clothes a few days ago. I secretly saved it. You can keep it. It's not much, but it can help you. I heard that my aunt's injury is very serious."
"No, take this back. My mother is almost fully recovered now. Keep this for yourself. If you need help, you can use it as an emergency measure."
It can be seen that these copper coins must have been saved by Zhang Xiaoyun for a long time. It is impossible for Yang to give her silver money, so she must have earned it herself.
Seeing that she really didn't look like she was joking, Zhang Xiaoyun slowly retracted his words.
"Then I'll take it back first. If you need anything, just tell me!"
She reached out and patted her chest without the slightest hesitation.
"good."
Jiang Wan was very touched. "Xiao Yun, there are only me and my mother at home now. Come in and sit for a while."
"No, no thanks. I'd better go back first. I still have work to do at home."
Zhang Xiaoyun's expression suddenly changed. He shook his head timidly, stretched out his hand and waved it, his tone a little nervous.
"Xiaoyun, wait a minute—"
Jiang Wan suddenly grabbed her hand and rolled up her sleeve. There were bruises and purples, and even some red marks that had just scabbed over. It was obvious that she had just been injured.
Her eyes suddenly turned red. "Xiao Yun, did that woman beat you up again? Did your father just pretend he didn't see it?"
"No, don't blame my dad. It wasn't easy for him to raise me."
Jiang Wan sighed. Uncle Zhang had been nice to Xiaoyun before, but then... when Yang came into the family...
It is said that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. This is really true.
"Xiaoyun, wait a minute—"
Jiang Wan turned around and ran back to the house as fast as she could. She took out a small bag from the small drawer and ran out.
Returning to the yard, she handed the thing in her hand to Zhang Xiaoyun.
"This is the ointment I made myself. It will be effective for your injury. Go back and apply some."
"Take it quickly."
Seeing Zhang Xiaoyun standing there in a daze, Jiang Wan stuffed the thing into her arms without waiting for her to speak.
"Wanwan, thank you."
After she left, Jiang Wan returned to the yard, feeling somewhat distraught.
"Wanwan? What's wrong?"
Su Yun was a little worried when he saw her like this.
"It's okay, Mom, I'm just thinking."
After hearing her say this, Su Yun didn't know what to say.
"Mom, let me go in and see if my little brother is awake."
"Well, if Hao wakes up, take him downstairs for a walk."
Su Yun began to instruct her and Jiang Wan nodded.
"Jiang Yue, what exactly did you mean by the thing you gave me that day?"
In the spacious living room, the tables and chairs are made of the finest pear wood. Inside the hall, a sandalwood screen painted with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum separates the space.
Jiang Yue sat below the main seat, raised her hand to pick up the tea on the table beside her, and took a sip.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liang. Didn't I come here today?"
Liang Yuanwai glanced at her and said, "You, the Jiang family, deceived me first about what happened that day, and now you are trying to take over my Liang family's assets. Jiang Yue, you are really calculating."
