Chapter 52: Murdered
"Huh? How do you know he likes me?" Jiang Wanying followed her gaze and looked back, and happened to see Lu Yanchuan turning around.
Liao Jiayue said with reason and evidence: "He was looking at you just now. My father used to look at my mother with the same eyes."
Jiang Wanying arched her eyebrows and said, "Yueyue, you must have seen it wrong because we are too far apart. That uncle has already had someone in his heart, so there is no way he would like me."
Liao Jiayue blinked thoughtfully, and tilted her head, thinking, could it be that she really saw it wrong?
Jiang Wanying retracted her gaze and continued walking forward. How could Lu Yanchuan like her? He almost treated her as his niece. Don't ask, it's just fatherly love!
Damn it! I always feel like I'm being taken advantage of.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have called him uncle just to look down on myself.
The Liao family lived halfway up the hill. When they were almost there, a woman with a headscarf on her head ran over hurriedly and hugged Liao Jiayue, "Yueyue! Where have you been?"
Liao Jiayue took out all the candies in her pocket and put them in the woman's hand. "Mom, this is the candy Sister Yingying gave me. It's very sweet. You can have some too!"
As she said that, she picked up one of them, opened it and was about to stuff it into her mother's mouth.
A hint of forbearance flashed across Pi Yanan's eyes, and she turned away, "If mother doesn't want to eat, you eat it."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Jiang Wanying with some trepidation, "Miss Wanying, I won't invite you in since it's not convenient at home. Thank you for sending Yueyue back."
She patted Liao Jiayue's shoulder and said, "Yueyue, thank your sister quickly."
Liao Jiayue frowned, her mouth opening and closing. "Mom, Sister Yingying helped me teach Huzi and the others a lesson today. She still believes that Daddy is a bastard."
"Mom, Dad said everyone who comes is a guest. Shouldn't we invite Sister Yingying in for a cup of tea?"
Even though the family was poor, it was obvious that Liao Yong had brought up his daughter well and made her very polite.
Pia opened her mouth, but thinking that there was nothing at home, she really didn't want to invite Jiang Wanying into the house. Not to mention tea, even a sip of clean water was a luxury at home.
Ever since their husbands died, they were ostracized by the villagers and had to come to live in the mountains. This thatched house was built by Pia alone.
The two women could only rely on wild fruits from the mountains to fill their stomachs every day. The things distributed by the commune were always very little when it came to her, but she did not dare to resist. It didn't matter if she died, but she still had a daughter, and she was worried about leaving her daughter alone.
Jiang Wanying saw her embarrassment and smiled slightly, "It's okay, Yueyue, I'm not thirsty! It's cold outside, you should go inside quickly."
After saying that, she seemed to have thought of something and took out a ten-yuan banknote from her pocket. This was the money her third brother had given her when they were still in the city.
"It's almost spring. Tomorrow morning I'll bring you some meat and cloth coupons. Take them to the Yueyue Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy some food and daily necessities."
Pia shook her head and didn't take it, "No, no, no... I can't have it!"
"Here!" Jiang Wanying stuffed it into Yueyue's pocket. "Yueyue calls me sister, so she is my sister. Just think of it as my New Year's money for her! Keep it!"
Perhaps he was moved by Jiang Wanying's sincerity, or perhaps he was touched by the sudden warmth.
