Grandma Yang said, "Didn't you say anything? Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Besides, am I cursing you? I'm cursing that heartless, conscienceless person..."
Yang Wanwan and her sisters watched the elderly couple chatter away, and only after Grandma Yang had finished speaking did they persuade the couple to go home.
The next morning, Yang Wanwan and her sister were making breakfast when Nian Meili came over carrying her child.
As soon as she entered, she knelt on the ground at the entrance of the main room, sobbing uncontrollably, "Wanwan, please, please don't falsely accuse Dabao's grandfather, please let his grandfather come back! Dabao is close to his grandfather, and when his grandfather wasn't home, he cried all night and wouldn't sleep. Look how thin he's become from crying! His grandfather has done nothing wrong, how can you bear to do this?"
Accompanying Nian Meili were a dozen or twenty villagers, all of whom looked at Yang Wanwan with hostile expressions, ready to condemn her.
Most of these people are family members of the village committee.
Futaba's face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water!
Shang Tao was furious. He kicked over the small stool with a "bang," and yelled, "Nian Meili, do you think we're dead? Why are you kneeling?!"
The baby in Nian Meili's arms looked to be about eight or nine months old, and didn't understand anything, just squirming around in Nian Meili's arms.
Nian Meili pinched the child under his clothes, and the child cried out in pain.
The black dog locked in its kennel in the yard barked at Nian Meili.
Yang Wanwan grabbed Shang Tao with one hand and said to Er Ye, "Close the door, he's just a mad dog."
After saying that, the three sisters closed the doors one by one.
Nian Meili knelt outside, crying loudly, "Everyone come and see! These three sisters are truly vicious! They even sent their own uncle to jail! They have no conscience whatsoever and will get their comeuppance sooner or later! Everyone come and see! They didn't even spare our little Da Bao..."
Seeing that Er Ye and Shang Tao were sulking, Yang Wanwan smiled and said, "Let's eat first. We have things to do after we eat."
Seeing their eldest sister remain calm, Er Ye and Shang Tao's extreme anger subsided somewhat. Shang Tao said, "Let's eat! We'll ignore this dog and see how long she keeps going crazy!"
Nian Meili knelt on the ground, sobbing and gritting her teeth, accusing the three Yang sisters of being heartless and cruel.
More and more people gathered to watch.
Those who followed Nian Meili accused Yang Wanwan and her sister of being too ruthless.
"These Yang sisters are really something. What good would it do them to send Yang Dali to jail?"
"That's right, that's right."
A passerby said doubtfully, "Didn't you hear what the special investigation team said? Yang Dali embezzled over 100,000 yuan from the village!"
"What?! So much money?!"
"Wasn't your family's money included in that money? And you're still helping him?"
"This... contains my family's money?"
Of course!
Yang Tianbao's wife said, "But I don't know anything about this money! I'm afraid it's all Yang Wanwan's fabrication!"
Yang Xinqiao's wife also said, "That's right, I manage all the money in our family. When has Yang Dali ever taken any?"
Cao Guihua curled her lips, "This is all because Yang Wanwan learned to be cunning while studying in the county town, and she came up with these tricks."
Yang Tianbao's wife said, "No matter what Yang Dali does, Yang Wanwan is just a hard-hearted girl. Look, her cousin-in-law is kneeling on the ground holding the baby, and she doesn't even look at her."
Yang Xinqiao's wife: "That's right, Meili, you don't need to kneel anymore. Your cousin has such a hard heart, kneeling won't help."
"Look at your son, he's crying so pitifully, hurry up and feed him."
"That's right, we all know what kind of person Yang Wanwan is, she's just hard-hearted."
...
Listening to the villagers' discussion, Nian Meili smiled.
Yang Wanwan smiled as she sat inside the room.
These people love to meddle in other people's business, so let's find something to keep them busy.
After thinking for a moment, she made a phone call.
Afterwards, she had breakfast with her sisters, washed the dishes, went upstairs to tidy up her things, and then opened the door.
Nian Meili was still kneeling on the ground, crying and sobbing in a very serious manner.
The Yang sisters, carrying baskets, snakeskin bags, and rakes, locked the door, and left without even glancing at Nian Meili.
Nian Meili froze, then shouted, "Yang Wanwan, you're all so heartless, you'll get your comeuppance!"
Yang Xinqiao's wife: "Yang Wanwan, you are too cruel! You will be punished for what you have done!"
Cao Guihua: "Yes, Yang Wanwan, you can't do this! You're slandering your uncle, no one will want you in the future."
...
Even after she had walked away, Nian Meili's ghostly wails still echoed behind her, and Yang Xinqiao, Yang Tianbao's wife, and Cao Guihua were still accusing her.
In addition, there were scattered voices of agreement and condemnation from some villagers.
The three sisters went to the paddy field to dig water chestnuts.
Yang Wanwan and her sisters all love to eat water chestnuts. They set aside three-tenths of their two-tenths of their paddy fields to grow water chestnuts, while their grandparents cultivated the remaining two-tenths.
During the double harvest season, the sisters also helped their grandparents with the harvest for two or three days.
It was already early October in the lunar calendar. The water in the paddy fields had been drained, and the water chestnut seedlings had been burned, making them easy to dig up.
They dug up a small pile, Shang Tao washed it in the pond, and the three of them sat on the edge of the field to eat it.
The weather was getting cooler and a bit gloomy. Sitting in the field eating, we gathered some dry firewood and thorns to make a fire, and we didn't feel cold.
The water chestnuts that Yang Wanwan bought were of a high-quality variety; they were large and sweet.
One bite and it's sweet and crunchy, very refreshing.
After finishing eating, we continued digging. We buried some water chestnuts and taro in the fire, and soon they smelled delicious.
During the digging process, Yang Wanwan activated the stone golems to help, so the process was very fast.
After digging all morning, I dug up more than 100 kilograms of food. Because I used precise force, I rarely dug up anything rotten.
The three of them went to the pond, washed over fifty kilograms of fish, and planned to eat some and take some to the county town for their aunt and daughter. The rest would remain wrapped in mud to dry for later consumption.
When I got home, Nian Meili was no longer in the yard.
Shang Tao was in charge of washing the fifty-odd kilograms of water chestnuts with clean water, while Yang Wanwan and Er Ye started washing vegetables and cooking.
At noon, Yang Wanwan brought back some rare vegetables and meats from the county town and cooked several bowls of dishes. After working all morning, the three siblings ate with great relish.
Halfway through the meal, Nian Meili and Cao Xinchun arrived together, carrying their child. They then knelt down on the ground with a thud, accusing and crying.
Yang Wanwan, Er Ye, and Shang Tao sat on the stone benches under the grape trellis eating, not even glancing at them.
Of course, Cao Guihua's trio and some nosy villagers followed them, all criticizing the Yang sisters for being heartless and cold-hearted.
Besides them, there were also a few family members of the village committee members who mingled in the crowd, accusing the Yang sisters of being too ruthless and cruel.
It was basically the morning's group of people.
