The second girl rolled her eyes and said, "Don't worry, your brother-in-law is very happy. He wouldn't dare to say anything bad."
Chen Ye gave the second girl a thumbs up. The second girl was amazing. She was already under the control of her man not long after getting married. It was good that way, otherwise her life would have been really difficult.
"By the way, do you know what happened last night? If you do, tell me quickly. I was so busy giving birth last night that no one from my family came in to chat with me today. I was so worried."
Chen Ye was convinced. This guy was still thinking about gossip at this moment.
She just gave a brief account of what everyone in the village knew, and didn't say anything else. The second girl, who had been a little pale and listless just now, began to have sparkling eyes.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a pity I didn't see it. What a big deal! It's been so many years since I've seen it happen. How could I be so unlucky that I didn't see such a big thing?"
Chen Ye...
"Alright, even if you didn't give birth last night, your mother-in-law wouldn't let you go out and watch the fun. It's so fun to watch, but if you're not careful you could get hurt."
"Hehehe, I'm just grumbling. How can such people come to our village? What are they doing here?"
"How would I know? At least we know that he is not a good person." Even if I knew, I couldn't tell you.
"You're right. How's Aunt Xie doing?" Aunt Xie was crazy looking for her son. How could she bear it if the son she found out of the blue turned out to be fake?
Chen Ye wanted to sigh: "I don't know. I'll leave from your place and go to see Aunt Xie."
"Ah, Aunt Xie, you might just get sick. It would be fine if there was no hope, but you gave me so much hope and it turned out to be false. How can I bear it?"
"Who knows? Don't worry about it. Take good care of your body and don't get sick." The old people in the village said that it is easy to get sick if you don't take good care of yourself during the confinement period.
"That can't be possible. My mother says I'm lucky. There's nothing important to do right now. I'm just waiting to hibernate and have a good rest. If it were busy, I'd have to go out to work in the fields for a few days."
"That's right. I was told that you will have good fortune in the future." After Erya got married, her life has become much easier than when she was at her parents' home. Isn't that a life of happiness?
When the farming season really comes, how can a woman who has just given birth really rest for a month? If she can rest for a week, it is because her husband's family is kind and says that it is really difficult to be a woman these days.
"Okay, take a good rest. I'm going to go see Aunt Xie. I'll come see you in a few days."
"Go quickly, and next time you come over, tell me how Aunt Xie is doing."
Chen Ye nodded and left. He said a few words to Aunt Li in the yard, but he didn't see Eryatou's two sisters-in-law.
Chen Ye took the basket handed to him by Shuanzhu: "You go and play with your friends, I'll go see Aunt Xie." Shuanzhu is still a child, it's better for him to avoid visiting patients.
This kid looks strong now, but she didn't forget that when he was tied up and first came here, he was as thin as a kitten, as if he couldn't be kept alive.
When Chen Ye reached the front door of Aunt Xie's house, Aunt Chuncao came out and asked, "Ye Zi is here too?"
"Well, Aunt Chuncao, are you here to see Aunt Xie too? How is she?"
Chuncao sighed and shook her head: "She's not feeling well. It's okay to hold on to this breath, but I'm afraid if she lets go, I don't know if Aunt Xie can make it through this."
"Tell me, why is this guy so wicked? Aunt Xie's life is not easy, why does he have to pretend to be Aunt Xie's son?" Chuncao complained. These bad guys died in an instant.
"Okay, go in and see Aunt Xie. I think it might just be a matter of a few days. Poor Aunt Xie."
Chen Ye's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. It couldn't be that serious, could it? She thought it was just a temporary illness, so why was he dying?
"Then I'll go in first. Goodbye, Aunt Chuncao."
"Come in quickly, I'll go back first." After saying that, Chuncao left in a hurry.
Aunt Xie's house is even more dilapidated than the Chen family's old house. It feels like a strong wind can blow the house down. Aunt Xie is old, so only the young people in the village come to help clean it up in winter every year. She can't do it by herself.
The mud house was cracked and had windows covered with waste newspapers. This made the house warmer in cold weather but also made the low house darker.
It was broad daylight and it was impossible to light an oil lamp in the house. When I suddenly came in from outside, it took me a while to adjust before I could see clearly in the house. I saw a thin old lady lying on the kang, covered with a tattered quilt.
Her skin color, which was not very healthy to begin with, looked even more sallow and dry. In just one night, many more wrinkles seemed to appear on her face, and it seemed as if not a single black hair could be seen in her already gray hair.
Chen Ye really didn't expect that such a fake son would bring such great harm to Aunt Xie. The old lady's already cloudy eyes lost their focus, and her eyes were terribly empty, with darkness in them without a trace of light.
It was even more heartbreaking to see Aunt Xie like this. If it weren't for the rise and fall of her chest, one would have thought she was a corpse with her eyes open.
Chen Ye put the snacks he brought on the table, sat on the edge of the kang and held Aunt Xie's hand. The old lady's hands were as dry and rough as the roots of an old tree, not to mention that they were only covered with a layer of skin and there was not even a bit of flesh.
"Aunt Xie, Ye Zi is here to see you. Are you feeling unwell? How about I take you to the hospital?"
Ye Zi waited patiently for Aunt Xie's answer. After a long while, Aunt Xie seemed to realize that someone was talking to her. Her eyes slowly moved to Ye Zi's face, and she tried very hard but failed to force a smile.
Ye Zi felt sad watching this. It seemed like this woman had been looking for her child all her life, but in the end, this hope was shattered. "Aunt Xie, are you okay?"
The old lady's movements were much slower. It seemed like it took her a long time to react after Ye Zi said something: "Okay..." With the word "Okay", the old lady's tears fell.
"My son..."
"You bad guys, don't arrest my son. My son is not a bad guy, he is a good guy!"
"Please let my son go. My son is really not a bad person. Please."
The old lady's eyes, which had just begun to focus, became empty again. Tears kept streaming down her face, and she kept murmuring softly, which was heartbreaking to watch.
Ye Zi really couldn't bear to see this. Just then, the team leader brought Grandpa Luo to show Aunt Xie. Ye Zi hurried to the yard. Looking at the desolate yard in front of her, she felt even more sad for Aunt Xie.
