Jiang Ranran emphasized the word "care".
She glanced around, and everyone didn't know what she was going to do, so they all looked at her expressionlessly.
Finally, her gaze stopped at a young woman. It was this person who had been gossiping in the beginning, saying that Jiang Ranran was a country bumpkin.
"Sister Xizi, you should address your habit of getting up at night. You have your own bathroom at home, so why do you always go out in the middle of the night?"
She also happened to come home late one day and saw Xizi and a man she had never seen before hugging each other outside the yard, whispering in each other's ears.
More than once.
Before Xizi could scold Jiang Ranran for talking nonsense, she was dragged back into the house by her husband.
The next one was, "Aunt Zhang, has your son come back to see you this year? You must take care of your health. If something happens to you one day, your son won't be able to fly back to take care of you."
This touched Aunt Zhang's sore spot. She lives here alone and tells everyone she comes here because she misses her old life. Her son is a wealthy man who lives abroad and wanted to take her with him, but she refused.
Jiang Ranran heard from Grandma Zhang that everyone in the courtyard knew that her son came here because he was unfilial and did not support her.
The lies you tell can only deceive yourself.
The last one, the boy looked at Jiang Ranran with disdain, not believing what she could say about herself.
She thought for a moment and said, "Don't peek at Sister Xizi taking a bath again, or you'll get your legs hurt again."
The boy looked at her in surprise.
The reason she knew this was because she met Xizi and the boy one time. Thinking that there was no one around, they talked openly about how it was their first meeting.
Before leaving, Jiang Ranran told these people about their dirty deeds, which made her feel better.
At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun fills the earth and falls on the high walls of the alley, interweaving into a floating picture, which is magnificent.
Jiang Ranran walked through the alleys, her mood as gloomy as the sky, and the dim sunlight was giving way to darkness.
From a distance, Jiang Ranran saw a shop with a sign that seemed to say "hotel".
The facade is simple and dark, so you can't see what's inside. It doesn't look too expensive.
There was no other choice. The most important thing now was to find a place to stay for the night, so he took the children in.
The proprietress who was counting the bill at the bar looked up when she heard the voice, glanced at them, and lowered her head again, "It's full, let's go somewhere else." She acted as if she was seeing them off.
I went to several more stores and the same thing happened.
Normally, it would be normal for a small shop like this to be full of people on the street, but all the shops nearby are like this... Today is not a special day.
Holding on to hope, she decided to look at another one.
"Little girl, would you like to stay at our hotel?" Unlike the attitudes of the previous few hotels, the proprietress of this hotel was very welcoming.
"Yes."
The proprietress looked her up and down, then glanced at the three children and Grandma Zhang, and said, "Come with me."
The man sitting on the side called out to the proprietress, as if to stop them from moving in.
The proprietress rolled her eyes and ignored him.
The proprietress took them upstairs. Jiang Ranran stood at the stairs and saw that the stairs were only wide enough for one person to pass through. It seemed like a black hole was swallowing her up!
Seeing that she didn't move, the proprietress called out to her!
To save money, she only asked for one room.
When they arrived at the room, the proprietress went out. Jiang Ranran locked the door and turned around to look at the so-called "room".
As soon as you enter the room, you can see two single beds. There is nothing else except the bathroom and a chair.
Thinking that the children had not eaten yet, she wanted to go out and buy something.
The stairs were dark. She was about to go down holding the handrail when she heard voices coming from the cashier counter at the corner of the stairs.
The middle-aged man's voice said, "Have you forgotten what that person said yesterday? Why did you let him move in?"
"Why are you yelling at me? That person gave us enough money, much more than our usual income, to keep us from operating for the past few days. But how can we refuse to do business when the business comes? Only a fool would refuse the money."
The proprietress scoffed at her husband's accusation, "Also, didn't you see those three children? They're so cute, especially the little girl."
The three babies are much prettier than ordinary children, and not as silly and cute as ordinary children.
The man didn't understand the meaning of the boss lady's words, "I saw it, what's wrong?"
"We haven't had a child in all these years, why don't we..."
Jiang Ranran held her breath and tightly grasped the handrail beside her. She actually had ideas about her daughter.
The proprietress continued, "I'll put some sleeping pills in the water and give it to them. Send the girl to the countryside tonight and let our mother take care of her for a while."
"What if the child is missing and that woman calls the police?"
"Call the police? What's the point? There's no surveillance around here."
The couple talked openly, and no one noticed Jiang Ranran standing on the stairs.
Back in the room, Dabao helped Grandma Zhang pack up, while Erbao was coaxing Sanbao to play.
"Mom is back." Erbao went to meet her and saw that her hands were empty.
Didn’t mom go buy food?
Jiang Ranran walked towards the only window in the room. If they were to leave with their luggage now, the landlady would definitely become suspicious. If there really was no surveillance nearby as she said, she was afraid of what might happen.
The room was on the second floor. She looked at the window and saw that it was between 2.5 and 3.0 meters above the ground. There were weeds growing below. If nothing unexpected happened, she would be able to land safely.
Erbao stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck, "Mom, what are you looking at? I want to see it too."
"Baby, go put on your clothes." Erbao was sweating while playing around, so he took off his coat.
"Why are you wearing clothes? I'm not cold."
"Miss, are we leaving?" Grandma Zhang noticed her abnormality and knew that she asked Erbao to put on his clothes because she wanted to leave.
"Grandma Zhang, I'll take my luggage and leave through the window. You take the children downstairs and say you're going to eat. Then quickly walk away. We'll meet in front of the store where we bought groceries last time."
The young lady must have her reasons for giving such instructions. Upon hearing this, Grandma Zhang immediately packed up her things.
Jiang Ranran stepped on the window frame, bent her knees slightly, lowered her center of gravity, and jumped forward with force. When she was about to land, she used both hands to support the ground to maintain her balance.
"Miss, how are you? Did you fall?"
Seeing Jiang Ranran jump down, Grandma Zhang's heart began to wrench in her throat.
Jiang Ranran stood up and took two steps forward so that they could see him. "I'm fine."
Grandma Zhang threw her bags of luggage to her.
Dabao, "Mom is so brave, she jumped as soon as she said she would."
Erbao, "So handsome, so handsome, I give it full marks."
Sanbao, "Mom can fly."
Dabao and Erbao: ...
Seeing Grandma Zhang leaving from the window with her three babies, Jiang Ranran picked up her bags and prepared to set off for the agreed place. However, she accidentally stepped on some weeds, slipped and sprained her ankle. She frowned in pain.
