With the force of her sister-in-law pulling her, Ningxia stood up.
Then he raised his hand to wipe his eyes, nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, Mother is right. I shouldn't have cried at my parents' house, lest it bring bad luck to your family all year round."
My second sister-in-law is right. I have a husband's family, so what am I if I insist on staying at my parents' home?
"When Mother wakes up, tell her I'm going home."
After saying that, without even looking at her sister-in-law's expression, she pulled away Yang Meizi's hand that was supporting her and turned to walk out the door.
"Hey... Xiazi, it's snowing today, and it's dark, so the road is hard to walk on."
Even if you want to go back, wait for your older brother to come out and have him take you home.
Seeing this, Yang Meizi quickly tried to stop her sister-in-law from leaving.
The mother-in-law doesn't even know what's going on yet, but the sister-in-law is clearly angry with her own mother!
If I just let her go like that, she'll definitely blame me, her sister-in-law, for not helping her out when the two of them reconcile next time!
However, Ningxia had made up her mind and didn't care what Yang Meizi was thinking.
He pulled his sleeve back with one hand and strode out.
"Xia Zi... Xia Zi... Ning An, your sister is leaving!"
Seeing that she couldn't stop Ningxia, Yang Meizi could only turn around and shout loudly to her husband who was taking care of Ningxia's mother inside the house.
Ning An and Ning Fei were helping Ning's mother to lie down on the bed when they heard their wife's voice. They were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes met those of Ning's mother, who should have fainted.
Ignoring the surprise that flashed in her eldest son's eyes when he saw she was awake, Ning's mother suddenly sat up from her lying position and nudged Ning An, saying, "Aren't you going to chase after your little sister? What if something happens to her in this snowy weather?"
Ning An didn't have time to think further, quickly said "Hey," turned around, and strode out.
Seeing her husband about to rush out, Yang Meizi quickly handed him the raincoat she was holding.
My family was poor and we didn't have the money to buy fabric to make new clothes, let alone cotton-padded clothes.
The cotton coat Ning An is wearing now has been worn for four or five years. She has taken apart the cotton wadding and fluffed it up again and again, but it is not warm at all.
If you go out like this, you're bound to catch a cold.
Although the raincoat was drafty, wearing an extra layer was better than not wearing one at all.
Under Yang Meizi's worried gaze, Ning An casually put on a raincoat and chased after her out the door.
However, whether Ningxia was intentionally avoiding him or not, Ning An ran all the way to the edge of the village but did not see any trace of Ningxia.
Thinking of Ning's mother, who had just woken up after fainting, and feeling worried about her, she finally turned around and went back.
He didn't see it; standing behind a haystack not far from where he turned back, looking at him, was Ning Xia, the very person he was looking for.
Watching her older brother's departing figure, Ningxia didn't have time to think about anything else.
He shivered, his body stiff with cold, then stomped his feet hard, and trudged through the snow that reached above his calves toward the Zhang family's house in the county town, without looking back once more.
Upon waking up, Ning's mother anxiously asked Ning Fei to go out and check if her eldest son had found their youngest daughter.
After repeating this several times, Ning Fei got annoyed and simply stayed in the living room instead of going into the room.
It was quite a while before Ning An, covered in snow, walked in from outside.
Upon hearing her eldest son enter the room, Ning's mother quickly pushed away Zhao Xueqin's hand, who was trying to help her, and ran out.
Zhao Xueqin curled her lip in disdain behind her back, then followed Ning's mother out.
