"Not yet!" Gu Ye put down the palm-leaf fan only after seeing flames coming out of the coal.
"Jiang Yue, wait for Ningning to get up and we'll take her to the guesthouse." Gu Ye felt that Jiang Yue was a little too nervous, so he comforted her, "Let's take a step back. Even if they really want to take Ningning away, they won't do it now!"
"I know!" Jiang Yue puffed her lips, "But I just feel uncomfortable!"
Gu Ye looked at Jiang Yue's drooping eyelashes and reached out to rub her head.
"Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?"
The two were talking when they suddenly heard Ningning's childish voice. Jiang Yue turned her head and saw Ningning standing at the door of the main hall, looking at her and Gu Ye with her big, ignorant eyes.
"Ningning, go put on your clothes quickly, or you'll catch a cold!" Jiang Yue didn't have time to worry about whether Ningning heard what she and Gu Ye had just said. She just saw that Ningning was wearing thin clothes, so she hurriedly urged Ningning to go back to the house to put on her clothes.
When Ningning came out dressed, Jiang Yue handed her the meat buns and said to her, "Ningning, we are going to the guesthouse to see the two grandparents from yesterday. Ningning, be polite and say hello to them!"
"Okay, Mom!" Ningning bit her meat bun and suddenly looked up, "Mom, can I not go?"
"Why?" Jiang Yue asked.
"The way those two grandparents looked at me was a little scary. Brother Yuanqi said that when adults stare at children like that, they mean to kidnap the child!" Ningning showed a look of fear on her little face.
Jiang Yue: “…”
She raised her eyes to look at Gu Ye, who was obviously speechless as well, "Zhao Yuanqi is talking nonsense, he wants to be beaten again!"
Jiang Yue had to comfort Ningning and told her that the two grandparents were not bad people who captured children, and that Ningning must not be allowed to have a resistance to the Shi family from the beginning.
Jiang Yue and Gu Ye took Ning Ning out and met Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Yuanqi coming back from buying groceries.
"Jiang Yue, are you free today?" As soon as Mrs. Zhao saw Jiang Yue, she pulled her aside and asked mysteriously.
"I'll be back soon. Is there anything wrong, sister-in-law?" Jiang Yue glanced at Gu Ye who was holding Ningning. She had just asked, and Gu Ye planned to let Ningning stay in the guesthouse to accompany her grandparents.
Sister Zhao smiled and said, "I'll tell you later!"
Jiang Yue raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then wait for me to come back!"
When the two arrived at the guesthouse, they saw the three members of the Shi family sitting in the room. It was obvious that they had only traveled far many times in their lives. In the unfamiliar environment, the three did not dare to walk around.
"Uncle and aunt!" Jiang Yue greeted them.
Although Uncle Shi and Aunt Shi had seen Jiang Yue yesterday evening, it was dark at that time and they did not see her clearly. When they saw a beautiful girl calling them, they were both stunned for a moment. They did not remember knowing such a beautiful girl!
"I'm Jiang Yue, Gu Ye's wife. We met last night!" Jiang Yue smiled.
In fact, she didn't look closely at the appearance of Uncle Shi and Aunt Shi last night. She only noticed that they both had hunchbacks, probably caused by doing farm work for a long time. Their bodies were hunched and their skin was rough. They were less than sixty years old, but their faces were full of wrinkles. Their hands stretched out were as dry as old tree bark.
"Yes, yes, it's you, my girl!" Uncle Shi and Aunt Shi were already nervous, and now they were even more at a loss, not knowing where to put their hands and feet.
"Uncle and aunt, we brought Ningning here. Let Ningning take you for a walk around the neighborhood this morning!" Jiang Yue looked at the surprised and happy expressions of the two old people in the Shi family, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Last night, she thought the Shi family suddenly showed up and wanted to snatch Ningning away, so she had a bad preconceived impression of them.
However, at this moment, looking at the hunched elders of the Shi family, she knew in her heart that they and Ningning were blood relatives after all. Perhaps they had selfish motives in wanting to take Ningning back, but they could not fake their happiness when they saw Ningning.
"Mother!"
On the way here, Jiang Yue had already told Ningning that she would be a little guide for Grandpa Shi, Grandma Shi and Uncle Shi this morning. Ningning is always full of curiosity about new things. Although she was still a little afraid of the two grandpa and grandma last night, Ningning became very interested when she heard what Jiang Yue said the little guide would do.
However, although Ningning was interested, when she saw Jiang Yue was about to leave, she still nervously grabbed Jiang Yue's clothes.
"Dad is here too. Ningning, how about going for a walk with Dad and grandparents and uncle?" Jiang Yue patiently persuaded Ningning.
Ningning turned around and looked at the three people who had been looking at her excitedly since she came in. She pursed her lips, let go of Jiang Yue, and held Gu Ye's hand.
"Then I'll leave first!" Jiang Yue was actually very worried, but there was nothing she could do.
After exchanging glances with Gu Ye, Jiang Yue waved to the Shi family members, then turned and left.
At the door, she heard Ningning timidly calling grandpa and grandma, and also heard the three members of the Shi family responding with tears of joy.
She felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Even though the three members of the Shi family were Ningning's relatives, they hadn't seen each other for several years. Did they really have such deep feelings for Ningning?
Jiang Yue didn't notice anything abnormal about the eldest brother of the Shi family last night. It was only after hearing Gu Ye talk about it that she found out that the eldest brother of the Shi family was disabled.
Just now she noticed that the eldest brother of the Shi family walked in a strange way, as if he was limping.
Jiang Yue returned to the family compound and went straight to Mrs. Zhao's house.
Mrs. Zhao was surprised to see Jiang Yue coming back so soon, "Jiang Yue, didn't you send Ningning to kindergarten?"
"No! Gu Ye is with Ning Ning!"
"What's wrong? You look upset?"
Sister Zhao is more than 20 years older than Jiang Yue. Although Jiang Yue usually calls her sister-in-law, in fact, sometimes Sister Zhao takes care of her like a mother, and Jiang Yue and Sister Zhao can talk about anything.
But today, Jiang Yue didn't really want to talk about the Shi family's plan to take Ningning away, so she found an excuse to get away with it.
"Sister-in-law, what did you just say you wanted to talk to me about?" Jiang Yue asked.
Mrs. Zhao was very understanding. She saw that Jiang Yue didn't want to mention it, so she didn't ask.
"Didn't you say that I could sell roasted sweet potatoes? I got up early this morning and roasted a lot of them. I wanted to set up a stall in the county town to try. Do you think it's feasible?" Mrs. Zhao asked Jiang Yue a little nervously.
Jiang Yue raised her eyebrows. No wonder she could smell the sweet fragrance coming from Sister Zhao's house from a distance.
"Sister-in-law, you are so proactive!" Jiang Yue couldn't help but praise Sister-in-law Zhao. The day before yesterday, she mentioned that she could set up a stall to sell roasted sweet potatoes, and Sister-in-law Zhao was going to try it today. Isn't this proactiveness super strong!
Mrs. Zhao was a little embarrassed, "Just don't laugh at me for being money-minded!"
Jiang Yue said seriously: "What's wrong with being money-minded? Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all things that don't cost money! If you listen to what my sister-in-law said, I am even more money-minded!"
Mrs. Zhao liked talking to Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue could always speak to her heart, unlike her husband who would criticize her no matter what she did, saying that she was a woman and should just stay at home cooking, washing clothes and taking care of the children. It was shameful for her to set up a stall.
"Sister-in-law, I have experience in setting up stalls, I'll go with you!"
