Before Ye Weiwei could explain, Ma Shenglian continued, "You child, you're still so impulsive! But don't worry, your second aunt will keep it a secret and will absolutely not tell anyone that you secretly brought Xiaoxing over."
Just when she was worried about not being able to find any fault with this brat, she unexpectedly found one. Ma Shenglian felt that all the bad luck of the day had disappeared, and her mood improved greatly.
Ye Weiwei frowned unhappily, "Second Aunt, you're overthinking it! I didn't secretly take Little Star over."
Ma Shenglian didn't care about Ye Weiwei's attitude at all, only believing what she thought, and went along with Ye Weiwei's words, saying: "Yes, yes, you don't need to explain, Second Aunt knows!"
Seeing that she was talking to herself, Ye Weiwei didn't bother to waste her breath.
Ye Weiwei took Ma Shenglian to the Little Star House, then carried Little Star to her own room, told her to rest early, and went back to her room to continue sleeping.
Ma Shenglian's stomach was growling with hunger, and she was thinking of asking Ye Weiwei to get her some food, but she didn't even have a chance to say it.
Lying down in bed, Ma Shenglian touched her empty stomach, swallowed hard, and thought she'd better wait until tomorrow to think about it.
But Liu Guilan's sleeping posture is really bad!
She had only been lying down for a short while when Ma Shenglian was kicked and punched twice, one of which landed right in her eye. The pain almost made her jump up and curse.
If Liu Guilan hadn't been snoring so loudly and had fallen asleep before she arrived, she would have thought she was doing it on purpose.
After muttering curses under her breath for a while, Ma Shenglian curled up on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), trying to keep her distance from Liu Guilan.
But Liu Guilan kicked him to the ground.
Ma Shenglian: ...
I can't sleep at all!
Since she couldn't sleep properly, she decided not to sleep at all, since she was too hungry to sleep anyway!
She tiptoed out of the room and went to the kitchen in the dark. She was groping around looking for something to eat when her hand just touched a basket. Suddenly, someone grabbed her hand and twisted her leg hard behind her back. She was forced to kneel on the ground.
"ah……"
Feeling that her arm had been dislocated, Ma Shenglian couldn't help but scream in pain.
The noise woke up Liu Guilan, who was "sleeping," and Ye Weiwei, who had just lain down.
Ye Weiwei rushed out with a flashlight. The bright light shone on Ma Shenglian's face, and she tried to shield herself with her other hand, but her other hand was also grabbed and twisted behind her back.
"ah……"
Another scream!
Ye Weiwei shone her flashlight, and after a while, she seemed to realize what was happening and asked, "Second Aunt?"
Ma Shenglian quickly said, "Weiwei, it's me! It's me!"
Ye Weiwei then said to Huo Xiao, "Let go, this is my second aunt, she just came to our village today."
Huo Xiao then let go.
Ma Shenglian was completely exhausted and slumped to the ground. She then pointed at Huo Xiao with annoyance and said, "Weiwei, who is this man? Why is he sneaking into your house in the middle of the night?"
She remembered that she hadn't seen any men in the house when she came over during the day. Thinking that Ye Weiwei had married a cripple, she subconsciously glanced at the man's feet. Finding nothing wrong, she was secretly pleased.
Unexpectedly, she found another excuse to use against her. Now that brat Ye Weiwei dares to disobey, let's see how she deals with her!
Liu Guilan was woken up in the middle of the night, and upon hearing Ma Shenglian's veiled remarks, she said with a dark face, "Who dares to sneak into our house in the middle of the night? What do you mean by that? You haven't raised a good daughter, and you think everyone is as shameless as Ye Wanwan, unable to live without a man, and flirting with other women!"
Ma Shenglian's intentions were exposed, and she quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I was just scared when I saw a man come into the house in the middle of the night."
Huo Xiao said in a deep voice, "I just came back from a transport trip out of town. As soon as I entered the house, I saw someone lurking around suspiciously. I thought a thief had broken in!"
“That’s not right. I remember Wanwan wrote in her letter that the son-in-law’s legs are not very flexible, this…” Ma Shenglian squinted and looked up at Huo Xiao. When she saw Huo Xiao’s handsome face, her suspicions deepened.
Liu Guilan sneered, "My son's leg was just injured at the time, and of course he's fine now that it's healed! What, do you think I'm old and blind, that I can mistake my own son?"
Ma Shenglian's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said with an awkward smile, "No, no, I was just concerned about my son-in-law. It's good that he's cured. He's such a handsome young man, Weiwei is so lucky."
Ye Weiwei, too lazy to listen to Ma Shenglian's ramblings, frowned and asked, "Second Aunt, weren't you sleeping in your room? Why are you out here in the middle of the night?"
Ma Shenglian felt guilty and stammered, "I...I was sleepwalking!"
Liu Guilan looked at Ma Shenglian in shock, "My God! How could you have such a problem! It's so scary in the middle of the night! What if you do something to us while we're sleeping? Who can we complain to?"
Liu Guilan looked at Ye Weiwei and said, "Weiwei, why don't you tell your second aunt not to stay at home? Her daughter is a murderer, who knows what kind of person she is!"
When Ma Shenglian heard that she was to be kicked out, she panicked. If she had known they would react so strongly, she wouldn't have said she was sleepwalking. She had really shot herself in the foot!
"Weiwei, you know how your second aunt treats you normally. She's not a bad person! Besides, her sleepwalking problem is fine once she wakes up. Oh, I have to thank my son-in-law for waking me up!"
Ye Weiwei looked at Ma Shenglian with disdain, then spoke to Liu Guilan in a gentle tone: "Mom, why don't we let her stay at home for the night? We can't let her sleep on the street in the middle of the night."
Liu Guilan said with a stern face, "Weiwei, you can't be so good-tempered! I've figured it out. Your second aunt said she was coming to see you, but on the first meeting, she didn't even glance at her own children. Besides, didn't they sever ties with your family a long time ago? Who knows what she's here for!"
Ye Weiwei and Liu Guilan chimed in, "Let it go, it's just for one night, let's just take pity on her."
Liu Guilan hesitated for a moment before reluctantly nodding, "Alright, I'll only do it for your sake! How can you be so kind? Ye Wanwan treated you like that, and you still... I really can't do anything with you! But I don't want to sleep with someone like that. If she wants to stay at home tonight, she'll have to go to the side room!"
Ye Weiwei looked troubled: "This..."
When Ma Shenglian heard that she was to stay in the side room, she was very unhappy, but when she thought about how she would be beaten and kicked by Liu Guilan if she slept in the same room, she felt that sleeping in the side room was not a bad thing.
"Alright, then I'll make do with the room for the night."
After Liu Guilan led Ma Shenglian to the side room where firewood and thatch were stored, she looked at Ma Shenglian with disdain and said, "Just for one night. Tomorrow you'll go back to where you came from!"
