Chapter 28: Swearing to Stay Away from the Virgin Mother (4)
"What did I tell you before you went out? This is how you protect your brother," Liu Lan sat on the stone bench in the yard, looking at the little man in front of her with an unhappy expression.
Yes, that's how I protect him. This time I put him in a sack, next time I'll strip him naked and throw him into the river, letting him run around naked.
Muyan stood there expressionlessly, thinking to herself.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Liu Lan became even more displeased and reached out to pull his arm and shook it a few times.
"What are you doing?"
Liu Lan was frightened by her mother-in-law's sudden voice. "Mom, I was scolding Xiaoquan. He went out with Xiaoqiang and came back fine. Xiaoqiang was beaten like that because of him for not protecting his brother well."
Wu Qin had always thought that her second daughter-in-law, although a little dull, was at least good to the children.
But she couldn't understand what Liu Lan had just said. Did she mean that her son should also be beaten and injured?
Wu Qin felt that there was no need to observe any further, as Liu Lan was abusing her grandson. She reached out and pulled Mu Yan, who was standing with her head down and looking aggrieved, into her arms.
"From today on, Xiaoquan will follow me. You just need to take care of the work in the fields and don't worry about him anymore." After saying that, regardless of Liu Lan's reaction, he took Muyan back to his room.
The structure of the Li family's house is similar to a courtyard house. Wu Qin lives alone in the main room, and her two sons live in the east and west rooms respectively.
Wu Qin's main hall has two rooms, which are much better than the small darkroom where Mu Yan lived before in terms of space and environment.
Muyan lived in the main room with peace of mind. She no longer had to listen to Liu Lan's suffocating theories and she lived a very happy life.
Liu Lan felt sad when her son was taken away by her mother-in-law to be raised, but she didn't dare to say anything.
Although he was sad, he still did not forget to be sincere to Sun Ying and her son.
Li Qiang was often beaten and scolded by the children in the village because of Sun Ying's matter. Now he regards Liu Lan as his own mother.
Sun Ying accepted Liu Lan's kindness to her in public, but secretly she wished she could strangle her to death at any moment.
Muyan had already learned all the knowledge in the previous task and had no intention of going to school to waste time.
He only told Wu Qin that he was interested in making tofu.
Ever since Muyan started living with Wu Qin, she has been making her happy all day long.
When Liu Lan heard her grandson expressed interest in making tofu, she directly wrote her name as the legal representative when she applied for a business license.
Her grandson was not old enough yet, so she gave the child to him for safekeeping.
In just a few years, the tofu shop became famous in the surrounding villages.
Muyan was so happy to see the tofu shop growing bigger and bigger without any effort from her.
That day, he went to the tofu shop after waking up from a nap as usual.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Sun Ying holding Liu Lan's hand. The two of them were as close as twins.
There have been fewer rumors in the village in recent years, and Sun Ying's life has been much better than before.
"Xiaoquan is here," Sun Ying said with a smile, then turned to Liu Lan and said, "Then it's settled. I'll be here tomorrow."
Liu Lan sent her to the door and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Only when Sun Ying was out of sight did Liu Lan turn her gaze to Mu Yan. "Your aunt is coming to the tofu shop to help tomorrow. Please be nice to her."
Mu Yan smiled sincerely, "Don't worry, I will treat her well."
Liu Lan looked at the boy in front of her who was taller than her and felt a little dazed.
During the first two years that my son lived with his mother-in-law, he treated her coldly like a stranger. It was not until he opened the tofu shop that he began to smile at her.
Liu Lan came back to her senses and looked at the smile on the boy's face, which she felt was very unfamiliar.
After Muyan came out of the tofu shop, she went to the village public toilet for the first time.
Wanzi looked at the white little animal arching back and forth and closed his eyes in disgust, "Can't you just hold it in?"
Mu Yan didn't even look at it. She covered her eyes with her hands and held her breath. In a few seconds, she was outside a high-walled courtyard from the public toilet.
Wanzai looked at the eye-catching words on the wall and asked, "Are you here to pick up Liu Ren from prison?"
Mu Yan took a few breaths to recover, "Does he deserve it?"
Maruzai curled his lips and said, "Then come here." Before he could finish his words, Muyan took out a piece of paper and a pen from her arms and wrote a line of words.
Then she used magic to transform into Sun Ying's appearance and walked towards the guard.
Wanzi understood her purpose and couldn't help but complain, "You're still as mean as ever."
"Thank you," Mu Yan accepted his "praise" frankly.
Maruzai: ...
A few hours later, Liu Ren, dressed in black and carrying a bag, walked out of the locked door.
After five years, when Liu Ren saw the vast outside world again, he didn't have time to sigh, "The world outside is so beautiful."
Then he heard someone calling him from behind.
"arrive,"
A subconscious reaction has developed over the past few years. When I hear someone calling my name or code name, I will unconsciously straighten my back and follow instructions.
Liu Ren took the note handed over by the guard, bowed 90 degrees to express his gratitude, and left with his luggage.
——
The next day,
Sun Ying wore a floral dress and went to the tofu shop with Liu Lan.
"Sister-in-law, see what I can do to help you," said Sun Ying.
Liu Lan thought that since it was her first day, she would let her do some simple work first, and assigned Sun Ying three tasks in the morning.
She couldn't do any of the work, so Liu Lan simply stopped her from doing it and asked her to rest aside.
Sun Ying said sorry, took the chair and sat down.
When Muyan came at noon, she saw Sun Ying sitting on a chair. There were melon seeds, candies and a pot of hot tea on the table next to her.
"Auntie, eating too many melon seeds can easily cause internal heat," Mu Yan chuckled and put the apple in her pocket on the table.
"Eat an apple to cool down."
Sun Ying looked as if she was still sensible and picked up the apple and started to eat it.
Liu Lan felt relieved after seeing Mu Yan's attitude towards Sun Ying.
"Xiao Quan, this is your aunt's first day here and she hasn't adapted yet. After a few days of adaptation, she'll be able to find a suitable job."
"It's okay, just let Auntie take her time," Muyan smiled and chatted with the two for a while before leaving the tofu shop.
When I was halfway home, I saw Liu Ren carrying a bag and walking slowly towards the village.
There are many people around him who tell him what to do.
"Liu Ren, how dare you come back? Aren't you afraid that Li Zhengzai will kill you?" a brave man shouted at him.
Liu Ren threw the bag over his shoulder and smiled nonchalantly, "Someone tell Li Zheng to tell him that I, Liu Ren, am back and I want to thank him for all his eighteen generations of ancestors."
Mu Yan watched Liu Ren's figure disappear, turned around and went home. On the way, she saw a few people who were watching the fun and heading towards Li's house first.
The purpose is self-evident. Liu Ren went to thank his eighteen generations of ancestors and deliver a message to him.
Sun Ying stayed in the tofu shop for a whole day and had no idea what was happening outside.
In the evening, I held Liu Lan's hand and went home for dinner in a very happy mood.
This afternoon she and Liu Lan agreed that the profits from the tofu shop would be divided equally between the two families.
After watching Liu Lan work all day today, she became more determined to build a good relationship with Liu Lan.
She didn't want to work. She wanted to be like today, doing no work, being the second boss comfortably, and then slowly making the tofu shop hers.
