Yan Aidang was immediately furious when he heard this, and he lectured Yan Sisi, "Sisi, I, as your uncle, am not here to criticize you. Are you a little girl obsessed with money? Why do you care so much about your family? Your bracelet is not a valuable item. Go and get the money and return it to your sister."
Such a shabby bracelet was sold for 100 yuan, and he didn't even want it. His silly girl actually spent money to buy it. I don't know if she was kicked in the head by a donkey, or if she became stupid after living in the countryside for a few years.
Yan Sisi stood there motionless. She felt the word "return" was particularly harsh and retorted, "What do you mean by return? My cousin insisted on buying the bracelet from me again and again. I didn't force her to buy it. Why do you want me to return it? I returned the money out of kindness because our families are relatives. If we weren't relatives, don't even think about getting a penny back from me."
When Yan Aidang heard what her niece said, she was immediately furious and said to her brother: "Aiguo, this is your good daughter, but she talked to her uncle like this. She really doesn't act like a younger generation at all. Does she still have an uncle like me in her eyes? You have to teach her a lesson. If you don't discipline her, she will become lawless."
Father Yan put down the cup in his hand, "Her uncle, what am I lecturing you about? Isn't my daughter very good? She is willing to return 80 yuan. If it were me, I would definitely not return a single cent."
After saying that, he looked at Yan Qianqian who was still crying and said, "Niece, do you still want the money? If you want it, it's 80 yuan, if not, you won't get a penny. Don't say that your uncle doesn't speak for you. It was you who wanted to buy it. We didn't force you to buy it."
As for who paid for it, it is none of their business.
Yan Sisi stood up and took her mother, who wanted to say something, back to the kitchen. The three of them were left in the living room. After a while, they saw her uncle and father drinking again, and her cousin was still crying softly beside them.
Yan Qianqian cried for a while with tears in her eyes. Seeing that no one paid attention to her, she could only sob a few times and then stopped. She whispered to Yan Sisi who came over, "I agree. Eighty is eighty."
Her father, this unreliable man, said he would help her get the money back, but she cried for a long time and then went out drinking again. If other people knew that she wouldn't get a penny of the money, she would never let him know.
If she had known this would happen, she would have come alone. Maybe she could get the money back by crying a little, and wouldn't have to give half to her father.
Yan Sisi looked at her coldly. If she had known this would happen, why would she have cried for so long? She asked, "Where is my wooden bracelet?"
Yan Qianqian took out the wooden bracelet that she had kept in her pocket and handed it to her. Yan Sisi took it and lowered her head to examine it carefully. After a while, she saw a red mark on the wooden bracelet where blood had dripped on it. Although most of it had been wiped off, there was still a little bit left in the gap of the wooden bracelet.
As she expected, her cousin must have known the secret of the wooden bracelet, otherwise there would not be traces of blood on it. Yan Sisi calmly put away the wooden bracelet and returned to the room to get the money.
Yan Qianqian followed her in, and looking at her cousin's warm and clean little room, she couldn't help but feel a little envious from the bottom of her heart.
Yan Qianqian looked at Yan Sisi's back. In her memory, her cousin should have committed suicide at this time. How come she is still alive and well? Was it her rebirth that changed history, or was her cousin also reborn like her?
Yan Qianqian looked at her cousin who was counting the money and asked casually, "Cousin, where is the man who came to your house to propose marriage?"
How come the person who forced my cousin to death seems to have disappeared?
Yan Sisi couldn't help but pause for a moment, secretly raising her guard, and replied nonchalantly: "That person, he was arrested for committing a crime."
Yan Qianqian couldn't help but open her eyes and asked in surprise, "Why were you arrested?"
Yan Sisi took a look at her surprised expression, and suddenly came up with an idea: "That person pretended to be my savior and kicked the real savior into the water. He was arrested by the police for intentional homicide. In fact, it was all thanks to a person I met before. If he hadn't pointed me in the right direction, I wouldn't have found the real savior."
Yan Qianqian immediately noticed the person her cousin was talking about and deliberately asked, "Who is that person? He is so powerful, could he be a demigod?"
Seeing that Yu'er was hooked, Yan Sisi said, "He was a bearded man, just like you, cousin. He particularly liked my bracelet and looked at it for a long time before returning it to me."
Yan Qianqian frowned upon hearing this. Could it be that the man was reborn like her? She subconsciously asked, "Are you sure he gave you your original wooden bracelet?"
Yan Sisi said uncertainly: "I think so."
"Think about it carefully."
Yan Si thought for a moment and replied, "Except for squatting down to pick up something, I was staring at him the rest of the time. How could I have been replaced?"
Yan Qianqian's intuition told her that it was that person who replaced the wooden bracelet. Thinking of the opportunity she had missed, she grabbed Yan Sisi's hand and asked, "Did you see what that person looked like?"
Yan Sisi thought about it for a moment before saying, "He had a full beard, a hoarse voice, and was wearing tattered clothes. It was impossible to tell his appearance clearly."
Anyway, this person didn't exist. Yan Sisi made up a person she didn't even know, and by the end even she felt it was a bit fake.
Yan Qianqian, who was standing by, pinched her arm excitedly and said to herself, "This person must have changed the bracelet."
Yan Sisi cried out in pain, "Cousin, you're scratching me."
Yan Qianqian came back to her senses and looked at Yan Sisi, who was caught by her. Her eyes softened involuntarily, and she quickly let go of her hand and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I was distracted. Sisi, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Yan Sisi didn't mention what happened just now. If she talked too much about it, it would reveal its flaws. Just a little guidance would be enough.
Yan Qianqian was afraid that her cousin would ask something, so she hurriedly asked, "Where's the money? You didn't mean to give me the money after you took the things back!"
Yan Sisi snorted, handed over the money she had just counted, and said sarcastically, "I'm not like some people who go back on their words and pretend to be someone else to buy my bracelet. I don't know what they're thinking."
Anyway, my cousin has no other connection with my family except that they are relatives. If this incident can make my cousin visit her less often, it would be a good thing.
Yan Qianqian knew that she was in the wrong, so she took the money and counted it carefully before putting it in her pocket. She had no idea about the person Yan Sisi was talking about, and she ignored her cousin's attitude. Her mind was full of guesses about that person.
Who was it that replaced the wooden bracelet in advance?
Yan Sisi saw Yan Qianqian walked out with a strange look on her face, but she was too lazy to go out and listen to her uncle's nagging, so she closed the door and did some homework before going out. The moment she opened the door, she happened to hear her uncle standing at the door, saying with a drunken look on his face, "Aiguo, think carefully about what I told you, you won't suffer any loss anyway."
Father Yan replied coldly: "Brother, I will not agree to what you said, please stop talking."
"Hmph, I'm helping you out of kindness, but you must be grateful for the kindness." The uncle wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yan Qianqian who was standing next to him, "Dad, it's getting dark, let's go back! Second uncle will definitely consider what you said, and mom is still waiting for us at home."
Father Yan walked the man to the door and closed the door without even saying hello, causing my uncle to curse at him outside the door for a while before leaving.
Yan Sisi looked at her father who looked unhappy and asked, "Dad, what did uncle say to you that makes you look so weird?"
Father Yan said, "It's okay. Don't worry about your little kid. Go eat!"
Seeing that Yan's father refused to say anything, Yan Sisi prepared to ask her mother tomorrow. She turned around to help her mother tidy up the food on the table before sitting down to eat dinner.
Then we entered the space and picked the ripe vegetables one by one and put them in the basket under the ancient tree. After absorbing the green smoke during this period of time, the gray color on the fruits of the ancient tree became less and less, and only the last little bit was left before they could turn completely green.
Yan Sisi went to school and came home from school as usual every day. Occasionally, she would think of Gu Jingping. She wondered where he was now, what he was doing, and when he would come back.
When Yan Sisi got home from school that day, she was stopped by her mother.
"Sisi, there is a letter for you on the table." Yan's mother looked up and called her daughter.
Yan Sisi had never thought that someone would write a letter to her, so she asked uncertainly, "Mom, are you sure it's for me?"
"Well, it seems that Xiao Gu sent it to you. You said that Xiao Gu is a really good guy and he even knew to write to you. He hasn't shown up in the past few days. I thought there was no hope for you two." Yan's mother said while wiping the table.
Yan Sisi cried out, "Mom, what are you talking about? Neither of us is dating anyone."
After saying that, he picked up the letter on the table and ran back to the room, slamming the door.
Yan Sisi sat on the stool holding the envelope and carefully opened it. The first time she saw the letter, she noticed the strong and beautiful handwriting, which looked like a copybook.
Looking down: Comrade Xie Sisi, hello.
I haven't seen you for a few days, but it feels like a long time. I wonder if you feel the same way about me. I am now in Mucheng, City C. The weather is so cold here that the rivers are frozen. I wonder if the rivers in my hometown are frozen. Due to work reasons, I need to stay here for a while, and it will take more than a month before I can go back.
What followed were some of Gu Jingping's daily life in City C. Although they were all trivial matters, Yan Sisi read them word for word. She couldn't help laughing when she saw some of the interesting things. The last few lines made Yan Sisi blush.
After Yan Sisi finished reading the letter, she couldn't help but look at the last few sentences. An unprecedented shy expression appeared on her face. She didn't wake up until her mother called her to eat. She carefully put the letter in a storage box and locked it up. When she went to bed at night, she couldn't help but recall the contents of the letter.
The next day after school, Yan Sisi saw her cousin Yan Xiangdong standing at the door as soon as she walked out of the school. She stopped her bike and asked, "Brother, why are you here?"
When Cai Mei saw someone coming to pick up Yan Sisi, she couldn't help but ask, "Sisi, do you want us to wait for you?"
"No, I'll go back by myself later."
The author has something to say:
A day of moving bricks is over. On the way back home at night, I couldn't help but buy a cup of coffee. After drinking it, I felt more and more sleepy. I resisted the sleepiness and finished typing, but I became more and more energetic. I don't know if I can fall asleep again in a while.
