Seeing her eldest daughter's tearful face and aggrieved expression, Xing Lanhua sighed inwardly and then looked around.
He said in a low voice, "Alright, hurry up and come in."
If I stay outside in the yard and those gossipy women see me, who knows what kind of rumors they'll spread tomorrow!
Upon hearing Xing Lanhua's words, Tan Dahuan awkwardly wiped away her tears and went into the courtyard.
"Eat first, and after you've eaten, send your eldest and second eldest brothers to Dongxi Village."
Xing Lanhua glanced at her eldest daughter with a stern face, and then spoke.
"no……"
Upon hearing this, Tan Dahuan's expression changed immediately. He quickly grabbed Xing Lanhua's arm and shouted urgently.
"He hit you, and you still want to protect him?"
Xing Lanhua, who had been keeping a straight face, turned into a frown upon hearing her eldest daughter's call. She asked with a look of exasperation.
Hearing her mother say this, Tan Dahuan just bit her lower lip and didn't say a word.
Seeing Tan Dahuan's appearance, Xing Lanhua's heart skipped a beat.
You know, Ge Dazhuang sounds like a very honest and simple person.
In fact, he has always been perceptive and meticulous. The last time Da Huan came back to inform them about the communal meals, it was probably the eldest son-in-law's idea.
However, I didn't expect the head of the household to be so disgusted by this matter, which led to the incident of the large ring being pulled last time.
What Da Huan said just now seemed to make no mistake, but upon closer examination, Xing Lanhua realized there was a problem.
Given the eldest son-in-law's personality, even if the head of the household had hit Da Huan last time, Ge Dazhuang wouldn't have hit Da Huan again after Da Huan went back and told the truth.
After all, no matter what, Da Huan gave birth to two sons for the Ge family!
"Da Huan? Tell me the truth, what did you do that made Da Zhuang hit you?"
She slapped Tan Dahuan's arm hard and shouted sternly.
Tan Dahuan's lips twitched, then he lowered his head and remained silent, like a gourd with its mouth sawed off.
Seeing her like this, Xing Lanhua's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
"Where are Pingping and An'an? Now that you're back, what will happen to them?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Dahuan turned his head sharply and muttered under his breath, "They're all so old, what else can they do?"
"Mom, let me tell you, those two are just here to collect debts. They don't treat me like their own mother at all; their hearts and minds are only for that old bastard."
As she spoke, she became emotional, and her voice involuntarily grew louder.
“Pah…”
Tan Dahuan's already bruised and swollen face was slapped hard again.
The slap was no less forceful than Ge Dazhuang's. Tan Dahuan's head was knocked to the side, and he covered his face with one hand, supporting his arm with the other, slowly turning his head to look at Xing Lanhua with disbelief in his eyes.
"Mother...you hit me? You hit me too?"
If she felt wronged and wanted to cry when she was outside the courtyard, now she just felt that in this vast world, there was not a single place that could accommodate her. She might as well just die!
Thinking of this, Tan Dahuan covered her face, turned around and ran outside, sobbing as she ran.
She doesn't want to live anymore, she doesn't want to live anymore!
Before he even reached the gate, he bumped right into someone who was pushing open the gate and walking in from outside.
"Oh my god... who's blind as a bat?"
Wu He was knocked flat on her backside, landing hard on her buttocks. Her tailbone felt like it was about to split open, and the pain was excruciating.
