Chapter 5: Lard Blindness
Li is also very strange.
In the past, Cen Yan never wanted to call her mother, and was even unwilling to call her by her name properly. When he had no other choice, he would just call her "Hey", "You", or "That So-and-so".
But today, she seemed to have grown up overnight, calling me "Mom" all the time, which made me feel very happy.
"Yan, did you really say today... that your grandma died?" Li asked softly, afraid that someone outside might hear it.
"Mom, I was having a nightmare and talking in my sleep. Grandma must have heard it wrong and insisted that I was cursing her to death." Cen Yan sighed and said.
She was reborn.
Before she was reborn, Old Lady Cen had already been buried.
When she suddenly came back, the first person she saw when she opened her eyes was Old Lady Cen, who had been dead for a long time in her memory. She didn't react for a moment and only said, "Aren't you dead?"
Old Mrs. Cen did not hear wrong.
But she could never admit it!
"That's good. But Yan, you must be careful when you speak in front of your grandma in the future. Also, don't bear a grudge against your grandma. She is just like that. Her words are a bit harsh, but she is your grandma after all." Li was afraid that her stepdaughter would be annoyed by her if she said too much, but she still couldn't help but persuade her carefully.
When Cen Yan heard this, he felt uncomfortable again.
How come she didn't notice how gentle and patient Li was towards her in her previous life? How could she think that Li had bad intentions?
And Li is just like her father, wholeheartedly devoted to the family, but in this family, who really takes their second branch seriously?
The first and third wives, and even her two aunts, which one of them didn't like to treat the second wife like a slave?
However, even if Cen Yan said this now, I'm afraid Li wouldn't listen, and might even try to persuade her...
"Mom, I understand. Don't worry, I know what kind of person grandma is." Cen Yan said.
"Well, that's good." Li thought she had heard it, so she took Cen Yan's hand and let her lie on the bed. "You don't have to work today, you can sleep for a while."
"Mom, you should go back and sleep for a while. Don't go out, otherwise grandma will think you are pretending to be unwell and being lazy." Cen Yan also instructed.
"I'll go back and rest now." Li felt warm in her heart and smiled.
She was naturally aware of this, so she tucked the quilt in for Cen Yan and went back to her room.
It's not yet daylight outside.
Cen Yan lay in bed, tossing and turning, but couldn't fall asleep.
The scene of the tragic death in the previous life is still vivid in my mind.
As soon as she closed her eyes, Fu'er's pitiful corpse appeared before her...
Cen Yan immediately clenched her palms, her nails digging into her flesh, causing her to feel severe pain.
In her previous life, her marriage to Wei Zan was introduced by her aunt Gao.
At that time, Gao praised Wei Zan to such great heights that she was so blinded by greed that she wanted to marry Wei Zan wholeheartedly, and she even ignored her father's objections.
Because of this, her father was very angry with her and felt disappointed with her!
It can be seen that my father knew very well that Wei Zan was unreliable.
Only she was blind and believed her aunt's lies, thinking that the other party had a wealthy family and was a considerate person, and that she would definitely live a happy life by following him.
It was not until after she got married that she realized she had been cheated.
Wei Zan's family has only four walls.
My father is an old rogue who only knows how to eat, drink, gamble and have sex, and my mother is a lunatic who talks nonsense every day.
Moreover, her disease was hereditary. Wei Zan also suffered from this madness. Once he had an attack, he would either hurt himself or beat and scold her and the children.
Wei Zan strangled Fu'er to death and kicked the baby in her belly to death, resulting in her and the child being killed... It was just that he happened to be ill and crazy!
Not to mention, she never enjoyed a single day of happiness after getting married.
In order to repay her father-in-law's endless gambling debts, she worked day and night, and her hair turned white when she was only in her twenties.
She would never marry into a family like this again!
I just don't know whether her marriage with Wei Zan has been settled in this life.
She didn't know what time it was.
If she hasn't settled down, that's fine. She was foolish in her last life, and she won't make the same mistake again in this life. She won't listen to her aunt's coaxing again!
But if it's already been decided...
No matter what she says, I have to find a way to cancel this marriage!
Cen Yan was in a complicated mood, with all sorts of random thoughts. When he was about to fall asleep, the sky suddenly brightened and the sun came out.
Old man Cen came back from work.
Cen Dajiang and Cen Dahe also came back.
Only Cen Dahai was still cleaning up the fields.
He always came home late, and often by the time he got home, there was no meal yet, and no one in the family asked about his condition.
Old Mrs. Cen yelled at everyone in each room to get up and eat.
Mrs. Gao, the eldest wife, quickly brought her two children out to wash and dress. Mrs. Yu, who had been busy cooking all morning, also brought her only daughter out.
Cen Ying, the younger sister who lived in the west room, was standing in the yard drawing water to wash her face, yawning lazily.
In the second house, Li dressed her son and then hurried to wake Cen Yan up.
Cen Yan had not fallen asleep in the first place. She was woken up by Old Man Cen's arrival home. She had already packed everything, but she did not want to come out and face the people at home too early, so she hesitated and did not come out.
At this moment, the mother and daughter saw it, were stunned for a moment, and then smiled at each other.
Cen Yan smiled as she looked down at her brother Cen Yang who was standing obediently beside Li.
Cen Yang was also looking at her secretly.
Seeing that she was actually looking at him, he immediately hid behind Li with alertness and distance.
In the past, Cen Yan had always been unfriendly to him and Li, so it was normal for him to be on guard.
Therefore, Cen Yan didn't mind at this time. She just smiled at him and said to Li: "Mom, let's go eat."
"Well, let's go eat!" Li held her son's hand in one hand and Cen Yan in the other, and walked towards the main room.
Lao Cen has a large family.
Except for the eldest son of the first wife, Cen Han, who was studying in the county school and was not at home most of the time, the eldest daughter of Old Man Cen, Cen Fang, was already married, so there were a total of fourteen people left.
The eldest wife now has Cen Dajiang and Gao, as well as the second son Cen Lin, who is fifteen years old this year, and the daughter Cen Meng, who is twelve years old this year.
The second wife, Cen Dahai, and his second wife, Li, have a daughter, Cen Yan, and a son, Cen Yang, who is six years old this year.
The third wife, Cen Dahe and his wife Yu, have a daughter, Cen Shuang, who is fourteen years old this year, only one year younger than Cen Yan.
Old Man Cen also has a daughter, Cen Ying, who was born in his later years. She is eighteen years old this year and has not yet married.
…
With so many people, one table is definitely not enough.
But it always consisted of Old Man Cen, Old Lady Cen, Cen Ying, the eldest wife's family of four, and Cen Dahai and Cen Dahe sitting at a big round table.
There were five people left in the second and third rooms, squeezed on a low, broken coffee table.
It was said that Cen Dahai also ate at the same table with Old Man Cen and the others, but Cen Dahai always came back late and never sat at the table.
Sometimes there is some cold leftovers when I come back.
But sometimes, there is not even a bite of leftovers, and you can only go hungry and wait for the next meal.
But farmers often have to wait until the evening for their next meal.
In other words, Cen Dahai often could only eat one meal a day, and when he was very hungry at noon, he could only drink cold water to fill his stomach.
Fortunately, he was in good health, and although he was often hungry, he did not suffer from any health problems. This was the only blessing for the second wife.
As soon as the family sat down at the table, Cen Yan couldn't help but look out and glance outside from time to time.
"Grandpa, why hasn't my dad come back yet?" Seeing that her uncle and her younger uncle were eating steamed buns and drinking soup at the big round table, she simply asked.
