Chapter 11 Give money and buy medicine!
"Aunt San, grandpa said that today's housework will be done by your third room. Usually, this work is done by our second room. Why are you making trouble today when our second room can't do it? Do you take grandpa's words to heart?" Cen Yan walked out from the inner room.
Her crisp words, bright eyes, calm responses, and neither humble nor arrogant demeanor all brighten people's eyes.
Yu couldn't help but be stunned.
She looked him up and down and made sure that the person in front of her was indeed Cen Yan and not someone else.
But the feeling that Cen Yan gave her was completely unfamiliar.
She even couldn't help but feel that the girl in front of her was as noble as the moon in the clouds, and no one dared to be disrespectful to her.
But, the Moon in the Clouds?
No matter who the people from the second house are, in Old Cen's family, they are just a pool of mud that can be trampled on and not put on the table!
Suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, Yu raised her eyebrows and continued in a vicious voice: "Your grandfather said so, but I am your elder. If I order you to work and you don't do it, it means you are disrespecting your elders! For those who disrespect their elders, do you think your grandfather will forgive you?"
"If Third Aunt asks me to work, of course I can." Cen Yan sneered and stretched out his hand towards Yu.
"What are you doing?" Yu frowned and looked at her in confusion.
"Give money and buy medicine." Cen Yan said coldly.
"Why? You wish! Bah! Why are you standing here for no reason? Why are you trying to buy medicine? I think you are trying to cheat me out of money!" Yu said, and was about to slap Cen Yan's hand angrily.
At this time, Cen Yan slowly withdrew his hand in time.
Yu's outstretched hand hit nothing, feeling so embarrassed.
Her angry eyes seemed to be spitting fire as she stared at the girl in front of her.
"Grandma accidentally scratched my face with a stone. Although the bleeding has stopped, the wound has not healed yet. No medicine has been applied, and it cannot be exposed to the wind or come into contact with dirty things like feces and dirt, otherwise it will easily cause tetanus... What if I die, Third Aunt, tell me, even if grandpa doesn't pursue the matter, if my father knows that I lost my life because of you asking me to work, will he seek revenge on you?" Cen Yan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yu's hands tightened immediately.
Although Cen Dahai usually seems to be silent, after living with him for so many years, Yu knows very well that once he gets angry, he will do anything.
He will really seek revenge for Cen Yan's life!
"You little bitch, I'm letting you go today! When it's your second house's turn to work tomorrow, if anything happens to you, don't blame me!" Yu knew that she would get nothing in return, and was also worried that someone would get tetanus and die, so she didn't dare to mention letting Cen Yan do the work, and left cursing.
"Yan, the wound on your face, please wait at home, I will go find Doctor Chen..." When Li heard the severity of the wound, she panicked and was about to go out.
"Mom, it's okay." Cen Yan quickly held her back, "My injury is not serious. I just deliberately said it was serious to lie to Aunt San."
"That won't work. You have to apply some medicine on the wound on your face!" But Li insisted on going to see a doctor.
"Mom, it's really okay. I've washed it with clean water. It's okay. Besides, Doctor Chen may not be in the village at this time." Cen Yan persuaded.
Doctor Chen is a traveling doctor nearby.
He often goes out to practice medicine.
When Li saw Cen Yan's confident look, for some reason, she also felt relieved.
"Are you really alright?"
"Really? Would I joke with my life?"
"That's good, that's good." Li nodded and held her hand again. After hesitating for a while, she couldn't help but asked cautiously, "Yan, do you really want to cancel this marriage with Wei Zan? Are you kidding?"
"Marriage is a serious matter, how can it be treated as a joke?"
Cen Yan shook his head solemnly, "I am serious.
"I didn't understand before and refused to listen to my father's advice. I believed my aunt's words, but now I understand that Wei Zan is indeed not a good man. If I follow him, I will only suffer for the rest of my life and will never enjoy any happiness."
After all, this is something she has already experienced.
Therefore, her tone also carries a certain sense of vicissitudes and sadness.
Upon hearing this, Li said, "Don't worry about this. When your father comes back, I will help you persuade him. Even if he disagrees, you still have me. I will personally cancel the marriage for you!"
"I'm afraid it's not that easy." Cen Yan frowned, a look of embarrassment appearing on her face.
"What's wrong? You haven't even gotten engaged yet, this marriage can't be called off!"
"Mom, think carefully, who was the first to propose this marriage?" Cen Yan said.
"This... is your aunt Gao. She introduced this marriage. When you heard it was Wei Zan, you liked him very much and said he was a good man, so you agreed immediately." Li recalled.
"That's true, but it's not just that. In fact, my aunt had already told me about this marriage in private before she mentioned it to you and dad, and she even had me meet Wei Zan secretly..."
"What?! You, you actually met with Wei Zan secretly? How is this possible?!" Li was shocked.
"I was also deceived by my aunt. I didn't know where Wei Zan was until I arrived at the place." Cen Yan explained, "I was a little angry at the time, but when I saw Wei Zan was very polite and courteous, I thought he was a good person. But the more I think about it recently, the more I feel something is wrong."
"You didn't listen to what your father said..."
"Mom, to be honest, at that time I thought that dad wanted to sell me to an old widower in the neighboring village whose wife had died for the sake of you and my brother...that's why I insisted on going against my dad." Cen Yan said.
"How is that possible! Don't you know how much your father loves you!"
"I was deceived by my aunt-in-law at that time. It was not until last night when I accidentally heard my aunt-in-law talking to my uncle that I realized that she had been lying to me..." When Cen Yan said this, she couldn't help but shed a few tears.
Only when she heard her aunt talking to her uncle did she realize she had been cheated and that it was fake.
But she did not fabricate a single word of the story about how she was coaxed by her aunt into agreeing to the marriage.
These are the real situations in past lives.
Aunt Gao often made up similar lies to portray Cen Dahai and Li as being at fault.
After all, Cen Yan lost his biological mother at an age when he was already sensible.
This age is the most sensitive.
Gao's brainwashing made her afraid to seek confirmation from Cen Dahai and Li, for fear that Li would dislike her and even harm her.
That's why she went against Li.
That's why she believed Gao's instigation and insisted on marrying Wei Zan, even at the cost of falling out with Cen Dahai, thus ruining her own life...
"My aunt has always said that my father would no longer love me after he had you and my brother, and you would not be nice to me either, because there has never been a stepmother in this world who would treat other people's children as her own, and would be considered good if she didn't kill the child on the spot." Cen Yan began to tell Li all the bad things that Gao had said to her about Li and Cen Dahai in her previous life.
Li's face was filled with horror.
What followed was a heart full of anger!
"She, she actually made up this story about me and your father! She is trying to harm you! She is going to destroy our family! I'm going to go and reason with her now!" Li was so angry that she stood up and was about to go to the main house to find Gao to argue.
"Mom, don't go." Cen Yan hurriedly stopped her, "It's useless, she won't admit it. Besides, it's not just my aunt, but also my grandmother, my third aunt, and my youngest aunt who said these things. If you go, you will offend them all at once, and then the one who will suffer is our second house."
