Father Yan looked at the returned lady with something in her hand and asked curiously, "What is this? Did Xiao Gu give it to you?"

Yan Sisi was exhausted after studying all day. She put the hand warmer on the table and nodded, "Dad, is there any more food? I'm hungry."

Father Yan, "Your mother is cooking in the kitchen. It should be ready soon. Go check it out."

Yan Sisi walked towards the kitchen, "Mom, what delicious food are you cooking?"

"I bought some meat today and made your favorite braised pork." Mother Yan placed a plate of braised pork and stir-fried vegetables on the table and said to her husband, "It's time to eat."

Yan Sisi carried the mixed-grain rice to the table. The family of three picked up their bowls and waved their chopsticks to pick up food. No one took the initiative to mention what Yan Sisi had done outside all day.

After finishing her meal and clearing away the dishes, Yan's mother returned to the room and looked at the hand warmer on the table. She picked it up and took a look, then bent her fingers and tapped it: Not bad, it should be made of pure white copper, and the lid on it is a hollow magpie and plum pattern. She lifted the lid and looked at it for a while before putting it back.

Yan Sisi drew a little attention from the TV show and shouted, "Mom, come and watch TV."

Yan's mother smiled and said, "You two really know how to enjoy life. Watch TV after dinner. I'll be here soon."

After that, he went to the kitchen and took out the unpeeled red bean pods, placed them in front of them, and handed each of them a bowl, "Come on, peel them together!"

She can't eat better than anyone else, so she should be alone!

Father Yan raised his arm and said with a smile: "Even if I want to help, I am powerless. I can only trouble you two."

It’s strange, but when I was in the hospital, I always felt a dull pain in my arm. But after I returned home, it got much better and hasn’t hurt for a long time. It just feels itchy occasionally. I don’t know how my recovery is going?

Yan Sisi glanced at her father, whose face was rosy and full of energy. If it weren't for the plaster on his hand, you wouldn't be able to tell that he was injured at all.

Forced by her mother to do hard labor, she could only peel red beans while watching TV.

The two of them worked together, and soon half of the basket of red bean pods were peeled. Yan Sisi washed her hands, picked up the empty basket, entered the space, and looked to see if there were any other mature plants.

As soon as Yan Sisi entered, she saw that there were many red strawberries. Thinking of the sweet taste she had tasted before, she squatted down and picked half a basket of strawberries.

The cabbages growing in the grid next to them were ripe. Yan Sisi gently twisted their roots and picked three cabbages.

Finally, she went to feed the fish and shrimps that she had caught in the mountains before. They had basically grown about twice as large. It was a little slower than the growth rate of plants but still much faster than outside. Yan Sisi threw some vegetables grown in the space into the space and watched them eat for a while before leaving.

Yan Sisi washed some strawberries. After eating the fragrant and sweet strawberries, she felt much better. The complicated thoughts in her mind were relieved a lot.

The next morning, Yan Sisi got up by herself. She thought she got up early, but she didn't expect that her mother got up even earlier than her, and breakfast was already on the table.

Yan Sisi drank the fragrant soy milk and boiled cabbage. The simple dishes tasted very delicious. Halfway through the meal, she suddenly found a box in the corner and asked curiously, "Mom, what is that?"

It seemed like there wasn’t any last night. What’s in it?

Yan's mother looked back and then she was shocked and said, "This was sent by Xiao Gu early in the morning. The hand warmer you brought back yesterday used charcoal, and they were afraid that our family didn't have it, so they sent a box of it over."

When she heard the knock on the door early in the morning, she was wondering who came so early. Unexpectedly, it was the patron who came to deliver something early in the morning and specifically asked not to wake up the girl.

Yan Sisi opened her eyes wide and swallowed the soy milk in her mouth. She slowly felt something different in her heart and stared straight at the box on the ground.

"So are you just going to accept it?" Yan Sisi came to her senses and said, she always felt a little bad to take other people's things like this.

"That's impossible. Didn't you pick some strawberries yesterday? I packed some for him to take." Mother Yan glanced at her daughter and said, "I know what's going on. You should eat and go to school!"

The relationship between people gradually becomes familiar with each other through interactions.

After saying that, Yan's mother handed over a hand warmer with charcoal fire. Yan Sisi touched the warm hand warmer, picked up her schoolbag and went to school.

During the break, Jiang Siyue looked back at what Yan Sisi had been holding in her hand, and looked over curiously, "Sisi, what did you bring?"

"Hand warmer."

"Who sent it?"

She and Sisi have known each other for such a long time, but this is the first time she sees her bringing something like this to school. She couldn't help but touch it, and it felt warm and comfortable. "So warm."

Yan Sisi smiled and said, "Someone you don't know."

Without further ado, he let Jiang Siyue look at the hand warmer for a while before taking it back. He spent the rest of the day in a very happy mood.

After returning to the family compound, Yan Sisi said goodbye to Sister Xiaomei and walked forward to the door of her home. As soon as she opened the door, she saw her uncle Yan Aidang sitting on a stool.

Yan Sisi looked at his eyes and stiffened for a moment before greeting him, "Uncle, you're here."

Yan Aidang frowned and nodded, then turned to her father and said, "If you ask me, why bother sending a girl to school? In the end, she will just marry someone else and get paid. When will you and your sister-in-law have another son?"

Yan Sisi couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this. It was true that every time she saw her uncle she would be scolded like this, as if the daughter was no longer a member of the family after getting married.

Yan Sisi put down her schoolbag and listened to her uncle continue: "Look at you, you were injured for such a long time and kept it a secret from me, do you still think of me as your brother?"

Yan Sisi complained in her heart, you don’t treat my dad as your brother. He is a good brother when there is something wrong, but he is nowhere to be found when there is nothing to do.

Father Yan looked at the daughter who was sitting next to them and listening to their conversation, and said perfunctorily: "Aren't you afraid that you will worry, big brother?"

After being together for so many years, who doesn't know who?

Yan Aidang said calmly, "I heard from Qianqian that Sisi broke off the engagement?"

Father Yan frowned and said, "Who told you this?"

Could it be that Sisi's affairs have already reached my eldest brother and the others? That's unlikely.

Yan Ai Dang said casually: "Didn't it Qian Qian who said that? How could such a good in-law family cancel the engagement?"

Such a good marriage candidate was let go just like that. I really don’t know what his younger brother was thinking. If it were him, he would never let his daughter give up such a good family.

Yan's father immediately turned cold and asked, "Brother, since you know that Sisi broke off the engagement, don't you know why?"

Yan Aidang said nonchalantly: "Men, we just met to see each other, and it didn't work out in the end, right? What's the big deal? With our Sisi's looks, can't she tie down a man?"

Father Yan couldn't reason with a man who favored boys over girls, so he changed the subject and said, "Brother, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's have a drink."

Yan Sisi listened to her uncle's nonchalant words and really had no idea how her cousins ​​survived in such an environment. They were constantly belittled and brainwashed by their own biological father every day, and then married to support their parents' family, and in the end all the beneficiaries were the men in their family.

"Knock, knock, knock—" There were a few knocks on the door. Yan Sisi stood up and opened the door. She looked at her cousin Yan Qianqian who was coming over and asked in surprise, "Sister, why are you here?"

Yan Qianqian thought about the purpose of her visit, forced a smile and asked irrelevantly, "Is my dad here?"

"I'm here, drinking with my dad inside." Although Yan Sisi was a little surprised that her cousin came here suddenly, she was still more curious about what had happened to her cousin recently, and she didn't know where the plot in the book was going.

I don’t even know if my cousin knows that my uncle is not her biological father?

Yan Qianqian walked in and said to her father, "Dad, I'm here."

Yan Aidang looked back at his daughter, then took a sip of white wine and said, "Aiguo, this time you came here for my daughter's matter. I heard that she spent a hundred yuan to buy a broken bracelet from Sisi."

Father Yan heard this and said calmly: "Well, Sisi told me, what's wrong?"

Yan Aidang put down his wine glass with a bang, slapped the lady's back, and cursed: "What a spendthrift! That money was earned from her years in the countryside. I don't know who bewitched her to buy such a shabby thing. You can't eat it, you can't drink it, and you can't even look at it."

When Yan Sisi heard this, she knew that the two of them were in unison and wanted to get their money back, so she just watched them perform without saying a word.

After Yan Aidang finished speaking, seeing that his brother did not respond, he continued, "If this was a small amount of money, I would have ignored it, but a hundred yuan can buy so many things, and this guy, who is not the head of the family, just spent it casually."

Then he turned to Yan Sisi and said, "Sisi, you too. You're asking for money for such a shabby bracelet. Why don't you just give it to your sister?"

Yan Sisi couldn't help laughing when she heard this. "That's my stuff, why would I give it to my cousin? Could it be that my uncle's family is so poor that they even want to take things from their niece?"

Yan Aidang's face suddenly turned cold when her niece said this to her face. She said, "Aiguo, this is how you discipline your daughter. What do you mean?"

Father Yan called out "Sisi" symbolically. Other than that, he didn't say anything else. He just asked, "What does big brother mean?"

Yan Ai Dang's expression eased after hearing this and said, "Just let Sisi return the money."

Yan Sisi immediately got angry when she heard this. She didn't force anyone to buy the bracelet, so why was she asked to return it? Besides, the bracelet given to her by her grandma was not a broken thing.

Father Yan glanced at his niece and said, "Brother, I also know that Sisi sold the wooden bracelet. The bracelet was left to her by her deceased grandmother. When my niece wanted to buy it, we didn't want to sell it. It was my niece who said someone liked it very much, and she didn't say she bought it herself. If I knew, how could I let Sisi take the money?"

Then he changed the subject and said, "Now they say it's my niece's own money. How do I know if it's true or not? Don't you think so? Qianqian."

Yan Qianqian, who had been standing by and had been silent, raised her head and saw that everyone was looking at her. She said with red eyes, "Second Uncle, I'm sorry, that money is really mine."

She bought the wooden bracelet for the things inside, but now the things are not useful but the money has been spent. She has to get the money back somehow. She may not be able to get the money back by herself, so she can only rely on her father to step in.

Yan Sisi glanced at her and asked, "Cousin, since you said it was yours, why did you lie to me and say someone else wanted to buy it? If I had known it was you, I would not have sold it to avoid this kind of situation among relatives, and my uncle would have thought that I had made money from you, cousin."

She knew that she had taken the money and had kept it uselessly for fear of something like this happening. But now that the money was in her hands, she would not give it away so easily.

Yan Qianqian suddenly burst into tears and turned to Yan Sisi and said, "Cousin, I didn't mean to lie to you. I really liked the bracelet so much that I wanted to buy it back."

Yan Sisi said, "Since my cousin likes me, why is she making such a fuss now? Is she going to regret it?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know how Dad found out about this and insisted that I get the money back."

"If you buy something outside, pay for it, take it away, and then don't want it anymore, will they give it back to you?"

"Cousin, I know that what I did was not fair. No matter what you say, I will not say anything. I just hope you can return the money, otherwise my father will not let me go." Yan Qianqian said, and the tears in her eyes finally fell. The sound of sobbing even attracted Yan's mother who was cooking in the kitchen.

Yan Sisi looked at her cousin who was crying, and then looked at her mother who was walking over. Her crying was the only sound in the room, making it seem as if she was bullying her.

Yan Sisi didn't want to return the money for nothing, so she pretended to be helpless and said, "But you bought it on your own initiative, I didn't force you to buy it. If you want the money back, you can return it to me. I can only give you 80 yuan."

After all, her father spent a lot of money to have the fake wooden bracelet made by someone, and we can’t let them lose money!
