Chapter 73 Eating Big Melon
Xiaoshan placed his index finger on his lips to signal Jiang Wan not to make any sound.
After all, there is a difference between the two of them, male and female. If they were seen by A Niang and the others, they would definitely say a lot of nasty things.
It’s nothing for me, but I’m afraid of polluting Jiang Wan’s ears.
In his heart, he urged the two people outside to leave, but their conversation had just begun.
"Hehua, it's not that Second Auntie doesn't want to help you. You also know that your father is the head of this family now. I dare not say anything about what he personally told me."
I don't even believe a word of Lotus. After knowing each other for so many years, who doesn't know who? As long as this second aunt wants, she has all kinds of ways.
"Aunt, you must have a way. I don't want to marry a peasant. To be honest, I met a rich young man some time ago. He said he would come to propose marriage after his elders checked the accounts."
"Rich boy?! Which family? Where did you meet him? How come I don't know him?"
The word "rich" can touch people's hearts.
Lian Hehua silently despised her own mother in her heart and then said in a gentle and flattering voice: "Second aunt, don't worry about how we met. Anyway, I have personally inquired about it and he is really a rich young man in the city. You helped me this time, and I also remember your kindness. You are my own mother. How can I forget you when I have a good life in the future?"
Mother!!
Jiang Wan's pupils trembled and she looked at Brother Xiaoshan beside her in disbelief.
Wow! She said that she always felt something was strange when she first heard about Xiaoshan’s story. It turned out that his experience was too similar to the story of the cat who replaced the prince in the novel.
It was actually changed!
"What nonsense are you talking about! Your mother is lying in the room!"
He Xiaocui's voice was trembling. The issue of changing children had always been a concern for her. She felt extremely guilty whenever she mentioned it.
"Aunt, what are you afraid of? My mother is asleep right now, and Xiaoshan has gone to the mountain. There are only grandpa and grandma at home, they know about it, so what can they do if they hear it?"
Jiang Wan:!!!
Good guys, good guys, this family shocked her for a year.
After hearing what Lian Hehua said, the old couple also knew that the second son's wife had replaced the eldest son.
Brother Xiaoshan is so pitiful.
She turned to look at Xiaoshan's expression and was surprised to find that apart from his slightly red eyes, the kid was quite calm.
How could Xiaoshan not calm down? He couldn't rush out and expose the matter.
Since his uncle was not at home, it would be useless to make a scene. It would only make his aunt's condition worse. Besides, he also wanted to hear what shameless words those two people outside could say.
"You better shut up. Just keep it to yourself. Why are you talking about it? You haven't told anyone else about this, have you?"
"Of course not. I'm not stupid. Second Aunt, remember to talk to Grandpa and Grandma about this. I don't want to see you anyway. If you don't help me, I'll tell everyone about this and we'll all be separated."
He Xiaocui: “…”
This damn girl is really capable of doing such a thing.
Like her.
"All right, all right, go back and take care of your mother. She has saved a lot of dowry for you."
He Xiaocui was a little gloomy, which meant she agreed. Lian Hehua was in a good mood and quickly coaxed her, "Second Aunt, you are my real mother. You have been the best to me since I was a child. When I have a good life, I will definitely be filial to you."
He Xiaocui felt a little relieved after hearing this.
With a creak, the door opened and they went back.
“Tsk!!”
Xiaoshan gulped twice in nausea.
So disgusting.
He was in a mixed mood, angry but mostly relieved. He was relieved that he was not the second wife's son.
This kind of relief is mixed with ecstasy.
Hehua and I were born on the same day of the same month of the same year, in the same room, and my grandmother delivered us personally.
So he couldn't have been adopted from somewhere else, he could only be my aunt's son!
Very good!!
"Brother Xiaoshan, don't cry. Don't be sad. Now that we know the truth, they will definitely be punished."
"I'm not sad, I'm happy."
Xiaoshan wiped away his tears, and his heart suddenly became clear.
"Brother Xiaoshan, what are you going to do now? I can be your witness!"
"Thank you, Xiao Wan. I want to wait until my uncle and his family come back before we talk. My aunt is alone at home now, and she is still sick. I don't want to upset her."
Xiaoshan squatted down somewhat dejectedly.
"Xiao Wan, if I tell my uncle and his family about this, will they believe it? My grandparents will definitely not admit it, and neither will I, my mother, and Hehua."
"No matter what, I think you should tell your uncle. He is willing to spend so much money to treat your aunt's illness, which shows that he is a responsible person who loves his family. He will not fool around."
Jiang Wan had met Xiaoshan's uncle before, when he had come back from the city with a bunch of medicine.
He took some of the medicine and gave it to A Niang to make pills, and spoke to her earnestly, begging her to help him cure his wife, and also asked for many dietary prescriptions for nourishing the body.
Men who love their wives are usually not bad in character. Jiang Wan felt that if Xiaoshan's uncle knew about this, he would definitely figure it out and take Xiaoshan back.
"They are all afraid of my uncle. They know the seriousness of this matter and will never admit it."
Xiaoshan gritted his teeth and hated his grandmother.
She was the one who delivered the child herself. If she refused to admit that the baby was swapped, her uncle would be unable to do anything even if he had doubts.
"Why don't you try to get them to speak for themselves? Find an excuse to buy some intoxicating liquor and get them to drink. People tend to speak the truth when they're drunk, so there's no harm in giving it a try."
"I'm going to buy some wine now!"
Xiaoshan was a man of action. He turned around, hid the things in his backpack, and left.
"Take this and buy some more expensive wine that makes you drunk more easily. If you need me to testify, feel free to come to my house and find me."
Jiang Wan stuffed the eight taels of silver she had prepared into Xiaoshan's pocket, then turned around and ran away.
She didn't want to push it around at all, and it was more suitable for her to just run away after getting lost.
Xiaoshan's eyes became red again for some reason as he held the silver. He took a long time to put the silver away and strode out of the utility room.
He went to the city and didn't come back in time for lunch. He Xiaocui kept swearing at home all afternoon and Li Xiu couldn't even rest.
Her husband hasn't come back yet and her daughter Hehua is nowhere to be seen, so she can only bear it.
Xiaoshan returned home with his things in the evening when the sun began to set.
He Xiaocui was about to curse but suddenly noticed what Xiaoshan was holding and immediately burst into laughter.
"Is this a bar? There's meat here, where did you get it, Xiaoshan?"
As soon as he heard the wine, Lian Dayou came out of the room immediately.
Xiaoshan directly took the wine and gave it to him.
"Father, I bought this specially to honor you. I found a job in the city today and can earn fifty cents a day. Mother, you can take this meat and cook it. We will have a good meal tonight."
As he spoke, he took out an oil-paper bag from his arms.
"Dad, I also bought you some halved pork and wine."
Lian Dayou and his wife only felt that their bodies were floating, and they were already dizzy from the things before them.
Fifty cents a day, which son in the village can be so capable? How proud it would be if this were told to others.
Lian Dayou doesn't care about anything else but face. If a son can bring him face, he is a good son.
"Okay, okay! You are worthy of being my son. I love you for what you do."
