Chapter 426: Being treated as a bad guy.
But she was not happy that the things Ran Qingxuan and the others brought could help these children survive the winter safely, but...
"Yaya, come and help grandma."
"Oh, okay."
Granny Fang got up with difficulty. Ran Qingxuan happened to bring in the last big bag of snacks at this time. Seeing this, he hurried forward to lend a hand.
But unexpectedly, Granny Fang's face changed drastically and she looked panic-stricken.
"What on earth are you doing here? Take your things and leave quickly. Leave quickly. We don't want..."
Ran Qingxuan frowned: "Mother-in-law, did you misunderstand something?"
Granny Fang was a little agitated, and she kept banging the ground with the cane in her hand. If Ran Qingxuan dared to provoke her again, the cane would probably fall on her.
Gu Yanchen was afraid that she would get hurt, so he stepped forward and pulled the person away, then said coldly, "We have no ill intentions, we just came here to look for someone and deliver some things..."
When she heard that they were looking for someone, Granny Fang became even more agitated. She raised her walking stick and was about to hit the two of them. Fang Zhixing realized that something was wrong and had already thrown down his tinder and ran over.
Seeing that the old woman was really about to take action, he immediately stepped forward to stop her.
"Be gentle, grandma is old and her bones are weak, don't hurt your arm..."
"yes..."
Fang Zhixing also had a headache. He was not afraid of real swords and guns, but facing older people, he had no better way than to stop them.
"You are not allowed to bully grandma, you bad people, you are just as bad as those people..."
Yaya and several other older children saw Fang Zhixing pulling Grandma Fang, so they dropped what they were holding and rushed over, hitting him with their fists.
Although it didn't hurt, Fang Zhixing still felt a little overwhelmed by the seven or eight children.
Gu Yanchen didn't want to argue with the child. When Ran Qingxuan was about to explain, a woman with a sallow face and a thin body walked out from the backyard with a baby in her arms.
As soon as Ran Qingxuan saw her, he immediately guessed that she was Chen Xu, the eldest daughter of Chen Cheng'an.
"Who are you? Let go of grandma..."
Chen Xu held the child in one hand and picked up a broom from the corner and faced Fang Zhixing. Although his face was full of fear, he still tried to step forward to protect him.
Ran Qingxuan felt very upset when she saw this. If the Chen family had not been raided, she would not have been kicked out of her husband's house.
With a long sigh, Ran Qingxuan asked her tentatively: "You are the elder sister of the Chen family, Chen Xu, right?"
Granny Fang was stunned, and Chen Xu, who was holding the child, was also stunned.
"Chen, do you know them?"
Chen Xu was confused and stammered, "Who... are you? I don't even know you..."
Gu Yanchen took a step forward, and Chen Xu retreated cautiously, protecting the child in his arms as he retreated.
"What are you going to do? Don't come over here!"
"Chen Wan'er is my third sister-in-law!"
With a "click", the broom in Chen Xu's hand fell to the ground, and his face turned pale instantly.
"You...you run...run away..."
"No, no, please don't misunderstand, Sister Chen, we didn't run away."
Chen Xu looked at Ran Qingxuan with a puzzled look.
Seeing this, Ran Qingxuan took the initiative to explain: "I am his wife, and Chen Wan'er is also my third sister-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanchen felt a little happy and curled the corners of his lips, but he quickly suppressed it.
"I'm a doctor. The son of the Marquis of Zhenbei and my husband are old acquaintances. We met a few days ago and he brought us to Cangzhou in advance to treat his illness, so we are here."
After listening to Ran Qingxuan's explanation, Chen Xu finally relaxed. Granny Fang, who had just asked them to leave for no apparent reason, realized the misunderstanding and immediately took a few steps back, rubbing the corner of her clothes.
"You're right... I'm sorry, I was confused for a moment and thought you were the same group of people who deceived me before, so..."
"Oh, this lady wasn't frightened, was she?"
"It's okay, mother-in-law, sit down first and we'll talk."
Ran Qingxuan didn't bother to ask her what she meant. He walked over to Chen Xu and helped her sit down at the table.
"I just heard you say you were here to look for someone, but are you here to look for me?"
"Yes, we just learned more than half an hour ago that your grandparents were not in good condition. My husband has asked someone to smooth things over. I came to see you because I wanted to see what you look like."
"What do I look like?"
Ran Qingxuan nodded. She was afraid that she would not be able to wait until night to get in, so she planned to change her appearance and go directly into the prison to treat the old Chen couple. This was the fastest and safest way.
"We heard that you go to the prison every three days, so I want to dress up as you and go in to treat your grandparents. Even if I can only hold on until I can see Uncle Chen and the others, it would be good."
Fearing that Chen Xu would not take risks and be willing to do so, Ran Qingxuan had no choice but to lead him in the direction of family affection, and it really worked.
"But I'm worried that my grandparents won't be able to come over until my uncle and his family come..."
As she said this, she covered her face and burst into tears. The child in her arms may have sensed her mother's mood and started crying too.
Seeing that the child did not stop crying after she had coaxed him for a while, Ran Qingxuan leaned over to take a look, then reached out and touched the swaddling clothes, thinking it was cold.
"The child has been sucking his mouth. He may be hungry."
Chen Xu looked embarrassed: "The charity bureau doesn't have much rice anymore. I'll feed Guaibao some rice soup at noon..."
Fang Zhixing had been released. He was afraid that Gu Yanchen and the others would be cold, so he had already lit charcoal and brought it to their feet.
Seeing this, Ran Qingxuan said to the half-grown children, "Do you have a bigger kettle?"
"...have..."
"Then one of you guys go get it and put it on the charcoal fire. I happened to have some milk powder with me, so I'll make a bowl for each of you..."
......
Looking at the iron pot with a large piece missing and obvious stains that had not been cleaned, Ran Qingxuan felt that if he used this pot to make milk powder later, it would definitely turn into milk tea color...
"It's not that I dislike it, but I have to give the baby the powdered milk later, and drinking the boiled water will definitely cause diarrhea."
Granny Fang looked at Ran Qingxuan awkwardly and said something that made her silent for a long time.
"But we have no other pots to use except this one..."
What she should have thought of was that she just brought in the orphanage where she had stayed before, and she always felt that with so many children there should be no shortage of pots and pans.
"Then wait a moment. I think the delivery person will be here soon. Maybe they bought a pot..."
Ran Qingxuan gestured to Gu Yanchen: "You talk to Sister Chen about our plan first. I'll go see if Chang Fang and the others are here."
Gu Yanchen knew what she was going to do and gave her a reassuring look.
Fortunately, the two of them had bought many horses and carriages when they went out before, and when not in use, they were basically placed in the space and Kang Jun and others helped to feed them.
Walking to a secluded place above the valley, Ran Qingxuan flashed into the space.
