"Retribution, retribution, this is..." Aunt Wang slapped herself in the face with all her strength. The flesh collided with each other with a loud slap, and her rough skin began to turn red.
If there was one thing she regretted the most, it was that she shouldn't have complained at the dinner table about Shen Xiangzhi and An Hongdou being too unkind and saying they would fire her.
She took some things from their house and asked Sun Caixiang to delay her work, but they didn't object from the beginning, right?
If they really cared, they would have made it clear from the beginning. She wouldn't have gradually come to think that they really didn't care, so they took more and more and even planned to bring the child to their home to raise.
However, when she said this, she was just complaining and she really didn't have any bad intentions!
She also didn't expect that her son would take these words to heart and secretly target Ergouzi, and this time he was directly framed.
Otherwise, even if he stole some defective products from the factory, it wouldn't have been discovered so quickly, and he wouldn't have implicated so many people.
After all this trouble, Aunt Wang was really tired. With Sun Caixiang's attentive care, she soon fell asleep while lying on the bed.
But, even in my sleep, I didn’t seem to feel very peaceful.
"Wow……"
Early in the morning, the sound of birds was heard outside the window and Aunt Wang was awakened by the crying of a child.
“Cai Xiang… Cai Xiang…” Aunt Wang’s voice was a little hoarse and nasal, which was the trace left after crying. “The child is crying, you should pick him up and comfort him…”
Aunt Wang called several times, but there was no response.
At this moment, Sun Caixiang's calm look yesterday suddenly appeared in her mind.
I have a bad feeling in my heart.
She endured the fatigue, put on her shoes and came out from behind the curtain.
The child was still whimpering on the bed. He became a little impatient and no one held him, so he opened his mouth wide and cried even louder.
There was no sign of Sun Caixiang in the room, so Aunt Wang quickly picked up her grandson and coaxed him.
The little child smacked his lips, obviously looking hungry.
She really had no other choice but to wrap the child tightly and cover his eyes with her hands before carrying him out.
Although Aunt Wang's family only has one house, the yard is indeed not small, but the other houses have been divided among other families.
There was no sign of Sun Caixiang in the yard, and Aunt Wang couldn't help but wonder.
Although the confinement period has ended, nothing happened. Sun Caixiang didn't even say hello. Where could she have gone?
The old woman picking vegetables at the door asked her, "Xiao Wang, are you looking for your daughter-in-law?"
Aunt Wang nodded quickly, "Aunt, have you seen my daughter-in-law? The child is crying with hunger, but she is nowhere to be seen. Tell me, where can she go so early in the morning?"
Aunt Wang's voice was full of complaints. Although she had her doubts in her heart, she always felt that a woman as a mother should not be so cruel.
After all, children are always their own.
But she never expected that the old woman's next words would make her legs go weak. "It was still dark when I got up to get up, and I saw your daughter-in-law opening the door and going out, carrying a bag on her back."
"What?" Aunt Wang's arms tightened around the child, causing the child to cry even harder.
After she recovered, she quickly loosened her grip and said with a complaining tone: "Aunt, you saw that she was carrying a bag, why didn't you call me?"
"Alas!" The old woman sighed and tried to comfort her, "You can't keep someone who wants to leave, and you can't chase someone who wants to stay away. Since she wants to leave, you can stop her today, but you can't stop her tomorrow."
Although this is true, Aunt Wang cannot accept it.
The child was only one month old. At this critical juncture, her son was arrested and her daughter-in-law ran away, leaving her an orphan and a widow. How would she live in the future?
She is older now and not as young as before, so she can no longer raise a child.
What's more, how can she feed the child who hasn't even been weaned yet?
The more Aunt Wang thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't just let it go like this.
She entrusted the child to the old woman to help take care of the child for a while, walked out the door alone, and hurried to Sun Caixiang's parents' home.
An Hongdou didn't know about these things.
She only heard from Ergouzi later that the result of Zhou Dazhuang's case had come out, and they had recovered some of the money they had earned from selling the defective products they had stolen from the factory, but most of it had already been spent.
Zhou Dazhuang was handed over to the police station for handling, but it is unknown how serious the crime was.
Zhao Peng works at the police station, Shen Xiangzhi must know this.
But for An Hongdou, an insignificant person was not worth her remembering so much and paying attention to the follow-up of this matter.
After all, she believed that the police were fair and that the greater the mistake she made, the greater the price she would pay.
As the weather gradually got colder, An Hongdou's clothing changed from short-sleeved summer dresses to shirts and trousers, and then slowly added coats.
When I got home from school in the afternoon, I saw Shen Wanhua in the yard. The three children were able to walk steadily. They chased each other and circled around Shen Wanhua, making him laugh.
Perhaps, as people get older, they begin to value having many children, grandchildren and blessings.
Or maybe, the saying that grandparents are closer is not a joke.
Shen Wanhua, who used to look constipated and displeased with his son all day long, was obviously much kinder when facing his three grandsons.
When there is no one around, he will humble himself and let the children ride on his neck, or sit on his shoulders, or play the game of lifting them up high. He plays with several children without any image or burden.
Seeing An Hongdou coming in, Shen Wanhua said, “You’re back…”
That tone, which was obviously too peaceful, was similar to when Shen Xiangzhi tried to please her, but she was an elder after all, so she was not as free of burden as Shen Xiangzhi, but rather a little awkward.
After the incident with Li Jing, every time Shen Wanhua came over, he ignored An Hongdou, and similarly, An Hongdou also ignored him.
Just like that, apart from the weirdness of being too cold, the two of them are quite harmonious.
Therefore, Shen Wanhua’s greeting today scared An Hongdou.
Since they were actively showing goodwill, she couldn't keep it up anymore and nodded, "Well, how long has Dad been here? Are the kids all well behaved?"
"Not long after, I came to see the children after work. They are all well-behaved, each one more obedient than the other." Shen Wanhua said with a smile. When he talked about the children, the expression on his face was obviously very different, one of happiness and pride.
Anyway, I'm very happy. An Hongdou can't even describe it.
Then, he asked her in the tone of an elder, "It's getting cold, and the children should all wear thicker clothes. Do we have enough cloth coupons at home?"
