Life is not always smooth, but it is not as bad as you think, Aunt Jiang. You have two lovely granddaughters and a group of neighbors like us. Recently, my father said that he hadn't seen you for several days. If you leave, our courtyard will be so quiet. "
After Ye Li finished speaking, he silently repented in his heart.
"I'm sorry, Dad. I have to sacrifice you at this special moment..."
Sure enough, after Ye Li mentioned Guan Shipeng, Aunt Jiang's eyes lit up. She looked up and asked Ye Li, "Did your dad's blind date end?"
Ye Li had no choice but to nod.
After hearing this good news, Aunt Jiang finally regained some energy and seemed to have found hope to live.
"Let's go, Aunt Jiang. Don't let others watch the fun. Go back and tell us what happened." Ye Li took Aunt Jiang's hand and pulled her up from the ground.
Two hooligans came out of nowhere and said to Aunt Jiang, "You old lady, you are so slow in jumping into the lake. I can tell you don't really want to die! People who really want to die would jump in a deserted place, but you chose such a crowded place!"
"Get lost! Where did you come from, you two little brats? What does my life or death have to do with you? What's the matter, I don't want to die anymore! How about you really dance for me?" Aunt Jiang wiped the tears from her face and yelled at the two brats.
...
...
When the two hooligans saw how fierce Aunt Jiang was, they stopped talking and ran away after cursing a few words.
"That's right! Why do you want to commit suicide? As long as you are alive, there is hope. If you really jump, won't those people who hate you be very happy? Jiang Xun, let's take the child home."
"good."
The family of four, who had originally planned to play in the park for the whole day, now returned to the courtyard with Aunt Jiang.
As soon as she entered the compound, she saw Niu Xin and Niu Rong playing in the yard. When Zhao Xingmei saw Aunt Jiang coming back, she returned the two children to her.
"Aunt Jiang, what were you doing so early in the morning? Niu Rong and Niu Rong kept asking me about it. They thought grandma didn't want them anymore."
Niu Xin and Niu Rong were also pitiful. Their mother left when they were one year old, and their father was often not at home. So the two children felt particularly insecure. Aunt Jiang had been away for less than half a day, and the two children kept asking about their grandmother's whereabouts, fearing that their grandmother would not want them anymore.
When Niu Xin and Niu Rong saw their grandmother coming back, they immediately rushed over and hugged Aunt Jiang.
Aunt Jiang squatted down, took Niu Xin and Niu Rong into her arms and started crying again.
"What's going on? Why are you crying after coming back from outside?" Zhao Xingmei didn't think she had said anything excessive, so why did she make Aunt Jiang cry?
This is not like Aunt Jiang on weekdays. On weekdays, even if you scold Aunt Jiang a few times, Aunt Jiang won't even blush.
"Mom, Aunt Jiang's family has encountered some problems again. She has been in a bad mood these two days. Let's pay more attention to her these two days." Ye Li leaned close to Zhao Xingmei's ear and whispered.
"What happened? I think Aunt Jiang was hit hard."
Ye Li briefly told Zhao Xingmei what had happened, and Zhao Xingmei was also shocked after hearing it.
"Oh, what a sin! They both went in! No wonder Aunt Jiang went to such extremes. How about this, let Aunt Jiang and Niu Xin and Niu Rong come to our house for lunch at noon, and I will give her some advice."
Although Aunt Jiang was usually very arrogant and had many fights with Zhao Xingmei and the others, they were all caused by trivial matters, and there was no deep hatred between them. Neighbors have lived together for so many years, and they still have to help each other when they encounter major problems, especially since Aunt Jiang jumped into the lake. It seems that this hurdle is not easy to overcome.
"Aunt Jiang, come to my place for a couple of drinks at noon and I'll cook two dishes for you. Don't do that in the future. You're so old, so stop it! I tell you, if you really go, I'll wake up laughing in my dreams. Finally, no one is against me in the yard!" After saying that, Zhao Xingmei went back to the house to get a basket and prepared to go out to buy vegetables.
"Zhao Xingmei, do you care about others? I'm in this situation, and you still hit me! I tell you, I will only do such a stupid thing this time, and we will still be mortal enemies in the courtyard in the future!" Aunt Jiang retorted unyieldingly.
Although Aunt Jiang said this, her heart had changed. She found that Zhao Xingmei, who usually confronted her, was not as bad as she had imagined.
"That's right! Trying to commit suicide when encountering trouble is so pathetic! It's not like the style in our hospital! If others tell others about it, they will laugh at you!" After saying this, Zhao Xingmei carried the basket and walked out the door.
Aunt Jiang suddenly thought of something, and she shouted to Zhao Xingmei, "Xingmei, remember to buy some meat and call Brother Guan to come over for lunch!"
When Ye Li heard what Aunt Jiang said, he immediately regretted mentioning his father when he was comforting Aunt Jiang.
Seeing that Aunt Jiang has now recovered to full health, she starts to think about her father again.
"Niu Xin and Niu Rong, you two play with Jiang Hao and Jiang Li for a while. I have something to say to Aunt Ye Li and the others."
Aunt Jiang took Ye Li and Jiang Xun into her room. Then she took out a package from the cabinet and said, "Ye Li, Jiang Xun. All the money here was remitted to me by Niu Dazhi. If I hand over this money, can Niu Dazhi be less guilty?"
"Well, it should be possible to be lenient to those who confess." Jiang Xun nodded.
"Okay. Then I will hand all this money over to the country, hoping that the country will show leniency and sentence my son to fewer years." Aunt Jiang looked at the thick package and stroked it reluctantly.
Before, Niu Dazhi had always advised her to spend the money and not to save it.
But Aunt Jiang couldn't bear to part with it. She put away all the money that Niu Dazhi sent back, thinking that she would return the money to Niu Dazhi after he came back from the south.
Now, all the efforts have been in vain. All the money has to be paid.
Aunt Jiang felt unwilling when she thought of this.
So she opened the package, pulled out two hundred-dollar bills from one of the envelopes and held them in her hand.
"No! I haven't spent a penny of the money here! It should be okay if I pay two hundred yuan less, right?" Aunt Jiang said, looking at Jiang Xun and Ye Li.
Ye Li looked at Aunt Jiang, not knowing what to say to her.
Seeing that Ye Li and Jiang Xun didn't say anything, Aunt Jiang had a fierce struggle in her mind, and finally put the two hundred yuan back.
"Alas! I am the one who spends money without a life! Forget it, this money should not belong to me in the first place!" Aunt Jiang rolled up the package and put it back in the cabinet.
"Jiang Xun, can you accompany me to the police station this afternoon? I'm afraid it's not safe for me to carry so much money alone."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
