That night, Lan Yaowu and Fang Yinan came back very late, their faces full of excitement. They didn't even say anything when Lan Shuang didn't make dinner. They made a fire and cooked it themselves.
The sound of clinking in the kitchen was endless, and soon the aroma of meat wafted out.
Lan Shuang raised her eyebrows. These two people were really funny. They couldn't even act well enough.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. But isn’t it strange that they suddenly stir-fry meat during the New Year holidays?
Lan Yaowu and Fang Yinan really didn't find it strange. They were busy for a long time and the fragrance had drifted into the yard. Lan Wei and Lan Mao were leaning against the door, watching eagerly.
"Mom, what did you do? It smells so good!"
"Well, eat...eat...I want meat!"
Lan Mao is still not very good at speaking at his age and stutters, but Lan Yaowu and Fang Yinan don't think there is anything wrong with him and treat him like a treasure.
"Alright, alright, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Lan Yaowu said with a smile, then gave Fang Yinan a look, "Go call Lan Shuang."
Fang Yinan wiped her hands on her apron nervously and said, "Okay."
She walked to the door of Lan Shuang's room, prepared herself mentally, and was about to push the door open when Lan Shuang came out first.
Suddenly seeing Lan Shuang, Fang Yinan's heart skipped a beat, "You...you...eat."
She stuttered for a long time and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Lan Shuang looked at her expressionlessly, "Are you afraid of me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? What am I afraid of you doing? I'm your mother!" Fang Yinan calmed down and glanced at her clothes. "Change your clothes after dinner. You've been wearing these for so long, they're so dirty."
Lan Shuang raised her eyebrows: "I just changed into this dress today."
"That won't do either. You'll get so dirty walking around in this."
Fang Yinan curled her lips in disdain, "Alright, go wash your hands."
She turned around to serve the dishes. Lan Shuang went outside to get some water to wash her hands. It was quiet outside the yard, but she seemed to vaguely see something reflecting light in the shadow outside the door.
She narrowed her eyes. It seemed that Fang Yinan and the others could not wait any longer.
The table was set up in the house, with two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. For the Lan family, this kind of dish was only served during the Chinese New Year or when Lan Wei was craving for it.
Today is so abnormal.
Lan Shuang sat at the end and deliberately asked, "Is there something going on at home today? Why are you cooking such a sumptuous meal?"
"Your brother's high school entrance exam results are out, over 600 points. This is great news, let's celebrate."
Lan Shuang glanced at Lan Wei, and Lan Wei smiled. It was no matter how reluctant it was, and he realized it himself, so he simply lowered his head and concentrated on eating.
"Then we should celebrate." Lan Shuang withdrew her gaze and picked up her chopsticks.
Lan Yaowu suddenly picked up a bottle of white wine, opened it, stood up and said, "Come on, let's have a drink."
Fang Yinan gave everyone a bowl, and Lan Yaowu poured food into the bowl.
Lan Shuang said, "I can't drink. Baijiu is too strong."
"Hey, if you can't drink, what's there to worry about? Just drink it and it's over. If you drink too much at home, you can just fall asleep. It's okay."
It was rare for Lan Yaowu to be so kind to Lan Shuang.
Lan Shuang looked at the half-full bowl of white wine in front of her and smiled meaningfully, "That's right."
"My family won't be harmed by others, right, Dad?"
Lan Yaowu's hand shook, and he accidentally spilled most of the wine when pouring it for Lan Wei.
Lan Wei quickly turned sideways, "Dad!"
"Oh, yes, yes, I was so happy that I couldn't hold it steady. Why were you yelling?"
He glared at Lan Wei, then glanced over to Lan Mao and filled his own cup. Then he raised his bowl and said, "Come on, let's go together to celebrate Xiao Wei's success in the high school entrance exam! She's on the list of successful candidates!"
Fang Yinan cooperated and picked up the bowl.
Under the gaze of eight eyes, Lan Shuang slowly picked up the bowl and clinked it with them.
"Host, are you really drinking?"
888 whispered, "Can I change it to water for you?"
Lan Shuang happily said, "Change."
The next moment the wine in her bowl lost its taste.
She raised her head and drank the bowl in one gulp. Lan Yaowu, who was sitting opposite her, was stunned. "You drank it all?"
Lan Shuang nodded, "Well, what's wrong?"
"No, nothing."
I've never seen anything so fierce.
Lan Yaowu secretly complained, took a sip of wine, sat down and pointed with his chopsticks: "Eat, eat more."
Lan Shuang ate silently with her chopsticks, but she was actually observing others out of the corner of her eyes.
And others were watching her.
After a while, Lan Shuang suddenly put down her chopsticks and shook her forehead.
Fang Yinan immediately asked: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lan Shuang replied softly, "A little dizzy."
"You're just drunk. Go back to your room and lie down for a while." Fang Yinan suppressed her excitement. "Do you want me to help you?"
"No, I can still walk."
Lan Shuang stood up and walked inside unsteadily. Fang Yinan reminded her, "Don't forget to change your clothes."
"I understand." Lan Shuang went in and closed the door. Her eyes instantly became clear again. She locked the door, opened the closet and took out the admission letter. She found a long shirt in the closet and put it on, and changed into a pair of jeans that she rarely wore.
Fortunately, the admission letter from University A was not very big, and there was a big pocket on the inside of her shirt, which was just enough to fit it.
After getting dressed, she unlocked the door, lay back on the kang, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
About ten minutes later, the door was opened and Lan Yaowu walked in quietly. Fang Yinan followed him and asked quietly, "Are you asleep?"
"Sleep, bring the rope."
"good."
After a rustling sound, Lan Shuang was helped up, and then her hands and feet were tightened and tied up with ropes.
Fang Yinan looked at Lan Shuang's clothes and asked, "Is this one okay?"
"Why do you care so much? Isn't this face enough? Hurry up and carry him out, so that there won't be any more trouble."
"OK."
Lan Yaowu picked up Lan Shuang and strode out. Lan Wei watched from the other side, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Fang Yinan glanced at him and said, "Go back!"
Lan Wei couldn't open his mouth.
Lan Shuang felt the night wind blowing towards her, and her heart was calm.
Here, people are worthless, and women are even less valuable. In their eyes, they are just cheap lives that can be bought and sold at will. Their lives belong to their husbands, sons, and parents, but not their own.
She quietly opened her eyes and looked over, and found an electric tricycle parked in the shadow of the door. A man in a large vest was sitting on the tricycle, smoking.
Hearing the noise, he jumped up excitedly, turned his head to look over, threw away the cigarette, and rubbed his hands excitedly, "Done?"
Lan Yaowu's face looked a little grim, but he forced a smile and said, "It's done. I'm here now."
Liu Min looked at Lan Shuang, who was wearing a white shirt in Lan Yaowu's arms, his face flushed red and he reached out to touch her face.
Fang Yinan immediately stopped him and said, "We have brought the person to you, but where is the money?"
