"As for whether I'm a kept man or not, let them talk. Anyway, you're the one supporting me, so why should I be afraid of what people say!"
Yu Yue muttered to herself, "I don't want them to talk about you like that!"
Xie Yan pinched her chubby cheeks, "What does it matter if I say I'm not losing a piece of flesh?"
Yu Yue gave Xie Yan a deep look, "Fine, since you don't care, then I won't care either!"
Xie Yan, holding Yu Yuehui's hand, looked at the still noisy scene over there and had no desire to join in the fun. "Come on, let's go home, wife?"
Yu Yue nodded. "Let's go! Let's go home and cook!"
Xie Yan took a big step forward and caught up, "Honey, do we have any shrimp here? I want to eat shrimp!"
Yu Yue paused, turned to look at Xie Yan, and said, "Yes, I'll buy it tomorrow!"
Xie Yan quickly spoke up, "No need, honey, where do you want to buy it? I'll go buy it."
Yu Yue turned to Xie Yan and asked, "Are you going to buy it?"
Xie Yan nodded.
Yu Yue looked up at Xie Yan with suspicion, "You have money?"
Xie Yan's heart skipped a beat. "Screw!" This...this...this deadpan mouth, why does he love to talk so much? Serves you right for spouting nonsense!
"No, no, where would I get any money! I was just thinking of asking you for some money." After saying that, he looked at Yu Yuehui with great sincerity, afraid that she wouldn't believe him!
Yu Yue shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'll go out to buy it first thing tomorrow morning. You might not even wake up by then!"
Uh! That's definitely a problem. Since Xie Yan stopped working in the fields, he has completely let himself go and sleeps until he naturally wakes up every day.
Once this habit is formed, it becomes very troublesome. Getting up early is now a huge problem for him! It's very difficult!
The two chatted as they slowly made their way home. Yu Yue glanced at the time; it was only a little past four. After thinking for a moment, she pulled Xie Yan aside and decided to explain her family situation to him, since she would inevitably have to deal with her grandparents while living here.
Therefore, it's better to make some things clear in advance!
After organizing her thoughts, Yu Yue pulled Xie Yan to sit down and continued, "Let me tell you about my grandparents!"
Xie Yan nodded when he saw that Yu Yuehui's emotions were not fluctuating much at the moment.
Yu Yuehui fell into her memories and slowly said, "Actually, many people don't believe this. After all, my grandmother has a very good reputation outside. People in the village often praise her as a kind and generous person. Almost everyone thinks she is a good person. Even people who don't know her well will say she is a good person after meeting her once."
"But do you know how she got her reputation as a good person? She got it by stepping on our family. She used our things to do favors! Her generosity was all built on my mother's suffering!"
Do you know why there are only my brother and me in our family?
Xie Yan shook his head. To be honest, he had been curious before. He thought the family was quite thoughtful. In an era where families typically have seven or eight children and believe that more children bring more blessings, having only two children is a rare occurrence.
But after hearing so much today, and considering Yu Yuehui's tone just now, I guessed it must be related to her grandmother. Sure enough, Yu Yuehui's next words confirmed this.
“After my mother gave birth to me, my grandmother, under the guise of taking care of my mother, ransacked the house. When my mother came out of confinement, she found that there was nothing left in the house. There was not a single thing to eat, not even a single piece of firewood.”
"My mother went out to gather firewood the day she finished her postpartum confinement, and she didn't eat for two days. When she was hungry, she would just drink some water. Even so, my grandmother still went around saying that my mother wasn't feeding them! Sometimes I really doubted whether my father was their biological son!"
Xie Yan listened silently without saying a word, but inwardly he thought, "They're definitely his biological son! With the similar looks of your father and your second uncle, no one would believe they're not brothers."
I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it anymore, so my mother secretly cut a handful of alfalfa from the brigade and ate it. The brigade's alfalfa watcher discovered her, but when he saw it was my mother, he sighed and said not to touch it again. This time, he pretended not to have found out.
There was absolutely nothing to eat at the time, so my mother searched everywhere for wild vegetables, but they were hard to find! Everyone had already dug up all the edible ones. My mother had to breastfeed me and search for food at the same time, and in the end, she collapsed. After the village doctor examined her, he said that my mother's health had deteriorated and she would never be able to get pregnant again.
After listening, Xie Yan finally understood why the two old people were staying with her second uncle.
How can there be such biased people in the world! They treat the eldest son's family like they're not even human beings!
After holding back for a while, Xie Yan couldn't help but ask, "Where's your father? Doesn't he care about any of this?" He's just letting his wife be bullied by his mother!
Yu Yuehui gave a mocking smile, her tone indifferent and cold: "My father is a very filial son! How could he talk about his own parents?"
"But this incident directly ruined my mother's health. My uncles and their relatives came and made quite a scene. You know what happened next: my grandparents went to my second uncle's house!"
After Yu Yue finished speaking, she looked out the window and remained silent for a long time!
Seeing this, Yu Yuehui felt uneasy, so Xie Yan quickly changed the subject, saying, "Well, it's getting late, let's go make some food! I'm getting a little hungry!"
Yu Yue glanced at her watch; it was indeed getting late. She looked at Xie Yan speechlessly. "Why didn't you say you were hungry sooner? I'll get you something to eat right now. What do you want to eat?"
Xie Yan thought for a moment, "I want to eat a wrap. Do you have any flour at home?"
Yu Yue thought for a moment, "Yes, there is, but there's no meat. What kind of vegetable rolls are you thinking of?"
Xie Yan glanced at the situation in his yard and said, "I'll make a cucumber salad, a hot and sour potato salad, a stir-fried eggplant with chili peppers, some shredded scallions, and a tomato and egg soup. Oh! If only there were some seaweed! I could add some shredded seaweed! That would be perfect."
He hadn't really wanted to eat seaweed, but now that Xie Yan was mentioned, he couldn't resist. He thought about it carefully, wondering if he had any connections in this area. And guess what? Xie Yan actually thought of someone!
Xie Yan's childhood friend is considered his best friend in Beijing. The place where he was sent to work in the countryside is in Hainan. It's close to the sea, so there must be seaweed there. No, I'll write to him now and ask him to send me some seafood!
No, that won't work. We can't just write letters; we need to send him some local specialties first.
Without further ado, Xie Yan quickly asked Yu Yue, "Wife, what are our local specialties? Is there anything we can send that won't spoil in ten days or half a month?"
Yu Yuehui's first thought was that Xie Yan wanted to send something to his parents, so she asked, "Is it to send to Mother? I'll look for something later."
