Looking at the indifferent Xie Yanzhao, Commander Xie was so angry that fumes came out of his head.
Xiao Zhou was afraid that he would get angry and something bad would happen, so he had to step forward quickly, stop the two men, and looked at them with gritted teeth.
"The commander wants to see you."
"Get out of the way."
There was a frightening depression in Xie Yanzhao's eyes, and he looked at Xiao Zhou with a ferocious and ruthless gaze. The other party almost couldn't stand the pressure and really moved aside as he said.
Fortunately, the last bit of reason stopped him from taking any action.
At this time, Commander Xie also came over.
"Xie Yanzhao, do you still have me as your father in your eyes?"
"No."
Xie Yanzhao looked straight at him with a calm gaze, but he unconsciously exerted force on Ruan Mingfu's big hand.
Commander Xie: “…”
Even more angry!
He took a deep breath and suppressed the rage in his heart.
"Why are you mad at me?" Commander Xie glared at him angrily, "When you were a child, you pushed your aunt Bai downstairs, causing her to have a miscarriage and she can no longer have children."
"Although I was angry, I didn't hit you to death. Over the years, your aunt Bai also understood that you were young and ignorant at that time, and she doesn't blame you. Xie Yanzhao, what are you still feeling awkward about?"
"Don't always blame your problems on others."
Ruan Mingfu was completely confused as she listened.
Is there something wrong?
Is this Xie Yanzhao's biological father?
Damn it, if she had a father like that, she wouldn't be able to live a single day.
Did this bastard dig up Commander Xie's grave in his previous life? He owed this bastard karma and he has to pay it back in this life.
Ruan Mingfu shook Xie Yanzhao's hand with some heartache.
"Whatever you think," Xie Yanzhao had no desire to talk to Commander Xie, "get out of the way, don't block the road."
Commander Xie shook his head.
"I thought you would realize your mistakes after all these years. But... you disappointed me. You are not like my son at all."
When the people around saw the father and son talking, they all looked over here curiously. Xiao Zhou hurried forward and asked them to leave.
"I wish I wasn't your son."
Commander Xie's brows were tightly furrowed.
He was old and hunched over, standing next to the tall Xie Yanzhao, with a full head shorter than him.
"I know you are angry," Commander Xie said, his temples graying, "but it was your fault. Your aunt Bai is pregnant..."
"Shut up!"
Xie Yanzhao looked at him, his eyes as deep as a pool and filled with ice coldness.
"Commander Xie, the babysitter is not here again, who are you trying to fool by pretending like this?"
Commander Xie chuckled.
There was satisfaction in the look he gave Xie Yanzhao.
If he had not given up on this son long ago, he would really be proud to see Xie Yanzhao grow up to be what he is today.
"I understand your thoughts."
Commander Xie stared at him.
"Even if you don't want to admit it, you are still my son in this life," he straightened his expression, "No matter how big the conflict between us is, we are still a family in the eyes of outsiders, and blood ties cannot be severed."
Commander Xie's eyes fell on Ruan Mingfu standing beside him, and his smile became more and more proud.
"Your future sons and grandsons will also continue my bloodline."
Xie Yanzhao was not as angry as Commander Xie had imagined.
But Ruan Mingfu couldn't bear it.
"Commander Xie, your shamelessness really opened my eyes. People like you are not worthy of being a father!"
Commander Xie was not angry, he didn't even glance at Ruan Mingfu.
"I have something to ask you, let her leave."
"I have nothing to say to you," Xie Yanzhao hugged Ruan Mingfu tighter, "Even if I have to leave, that person will only be you."
Commander Xie snorted coldly.
"I need your help in the Commander-in-Chief election."
"Don't even think about it!"
Xie Yanzhao's gaze fell on Commander Xie with contempt in his eyes.
He said he wanted Xie Yanzhao to help him, but his ultimate goal was to take over the power of the Bai family. I really don't know what kind of bitch Commander Xie is, why is he so shameless?
"Helping me is also helping you. As the commander-in-chief's son, your future will be brighter."
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
She didn't understand, but she was shocked.
"Commander Xie, you don't think that Xie Yanzhao got the position of regiment commander because of you, do you?"
Commander Xie raised his chin slightly.
Although he didn't say anything, his actions told Ruan Mingfu his answer.
Ruan Mingfu:……???
"Thank you, Commander. Don't be so arrogant. If you had a better understanding, you wouldn't have said such a thing."
The bastard was covered in wounds, many of which were in vital areas. If it weren't for his good luck, he would have died long ago. As for the position of the head of the group, it was because he had made a great contribution last year, and the higher-ups didn't want to suppress his merits, so they promoted him.
Commander Xie frowned.
"Teach her a lesson. She has no right to interrupt a man when he is talking."
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Damn it, if this guy was her father, she would smash his head off!
Xie Yanzhao's lips curled slightly, "I think what she said makes sense."
"you......!"
Commander Xie was furious, and just as he was about to vent his anger, Bai Qianzhu appeared from nowhere and pounced towards him.
"Old Xie, why didn't you inform me when you came to see Yan Zhao? I was afraid that I would look for you for a long time."
Although Bai Qianzhu was quite old, her voice was like that of a young girl, gentle and lingering, soft enough to make water come out of her. When the two of them got together, Commander Xie once asked her if she could sing opera, and when she answered no, he was disappointed for a long time.
In order to please Commander Xie, Bai Qianzhu specially found someone to learn it from.
But before she could learn it, the movement came...
Commander Xie straightened up slightly, and there was some impatience in his words.
"Why are you here?"
"Of course I'm worried about you," Bai Qianzhu looked at Xie Yanzhao with nostalgia in her eyes, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and Yanzhao has grown so big..."
Don't worry about anything!
Commander Xie has become increasingly impatient with Bai Qianzhu's attitude recently. She feels uneasy and has to keep an eye on Commander Xie all the time to feel at ease.
Xie Yanzhao didn't even look at her, he just pulled Ruan Mingfu and left.
"stop!"
"I don't have time to listen to your singing, get out of the way."
Commander Xie finally managed to stop Xie Yanzhao, so how could he give in? For a moment, the atmosphere between the two was tense.
"You two should not act like fighting cocks when you meet," Bai Qianzhu pulled Commander Xie aside and advised, "Let's sit down and talk it out. We are all family, there is no problem that cannot be solved."
Commander Xie was furious and his voice was very loud.
"Look at his bad behavior. Does he treat us as family?"
"Yan Zhao just pissed me off..."
Ruan Mingfu's eyes were almost rolling up to the sky.
She held Xie Yanzhao's hand and said distressedly, "It's hard for you."
Every day I watch these two actors acting out their roles, putting on a drama every now and then. They are not annoying, but the people watching them are getting tired of it.
Xie Yanzhao didn't say anything, but just reached out and touched her head.
"fine."
He already knew what kind of person Commander Xie was, and he no longer had any expectations of his father.
"...Yan Zhao, you should apologize to your father. There is something that you two can't talk about..."
"Didn't those slaps before teach you how to be a human being?"
Ruan Mingfu looked back and saw Ms. Luan standing not far away, with Luan Rong beside her.
"mom!"
Bai Qianzhu was trembling all over, and when she saw the female devil walking towards her step by step, she wished she could disappear from the spot.
"What did I teach you?" Ms. Luan stared at Commander Xie. "For these beasts who don't understand human language, just beat them up. Why waste your breath on them?"
Commander Xie: “…”
Don't think he doesn't know that this beast is scolding him!
“You…you…”
"Intermittent speech is a precursor to a stroke," Ms. Luan raised her eyebrows. "Go get a physical checkup when you have time and stop annoying people."
Her eyes fell on Bai Qianzhu.
Before Ms. Luan did anything, she began to tremble. If it weren't for the need to maintain her status as the commander's wife, she would have wanted to hide behind Commander Xie and curl up so that this female devil wouldn't notice her.
This woman is so scary.
Others say beating people is just a threat, but Ms. Luan will really do it!
Bai Qianzhu tugged at Xie Siguangling's clothes, "Old Xie..."
The retreat in her eyes was obvious.
If she had known this evil star was here, she would never have come here even if she was beaten to death.
Ms. Luan looked Commander Xie up and down with a haughty look and a mocking smile.
"Come with me."
"Why!"
With her biological mother around, Ruan Mingfu should be able to get what she wants quickly.
She dragged Xie Yanzhao and followed behind Ms. Luan, and Xiao Zhou didn't dare to stop her. This female devil even dared to beat Bai Qianzhu, what if she went crazy and beat him?
Commander Xie had a gloomy face as he looked at the backs of the men, but he did not speak to stop them.
Commander Xie snorted coldly until the person disappeared.
"Let's go!"
…
After talking it out at the hospital, Luan Rong seemed to be in much better condition. But she was still clinging to Ms. Luan, following her wherever she went.
In the past two days, Ms. Luan has been trying different ways to nourish her body. Although the effect is not so obvious, her complexion has become much rosier at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ruan Mingfu also benefited a lot.
She touched her chin and pinched the flesh on her waist, her pretty face showing a bit of distress.
"Tell me, have I gained weight?"
"Yes, yes, I have gained weight. I am as fat as a pig..."
Before Gu Yilin could finish his words, he was hit by the scrap of cloth thrown by Ruan Mingfu.
"I haven't talked about you yet." After Gu Yilin's fuss, she stopped worrying about whether he was fat or not. "Why haven't you been seen for so long recently... Tell me! Which little brother have you been looking for?"
There was a guilty look in Gu Yilin's eyes.
"Who, who... who said it was my little brother."
Something is happening!
Ruan Mingfu came over and said, "Tell the truth."
"No," Gu Yilin stood up and shook off the cloth that was stuck on his body, "If I say no, then I don't have it. I really don't have it!"
"snort!"
Ruan Mingfu didn't believe a word of what Gu Yilin said.
But since she doesn't want to tell the truth, I won't ask.
Anyway, this guy's true colors will be exposed sooner or later.
Then I'll laugh at her!
Ruan Mingfu adjusted the position of the cloth in her hand and took another finished seam.
“Yes, this color combination looks good.”
Gu Yilin leaned over and looked over. "This is the size... It's not made for you, right?"
"For my cousin."
Luan Rong had no luggage.
These days, she has been wearing Ruan Mingfu's old clothes, which makes her feel embarrassed. Anyway, she has a lot of fabrics, so she makes a few single clothes for Luan Rong.
"Sister, when will you make a few for me?"
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
She glared at the shameless Gu Yilin.
"Get out of here!"
"Humph!" Gu Yilin pretended to be angry, "If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. I can do it too. I'll do it myself when the time comes."
My fake best friend is really becoming more and more stingy.
When she goes back, I will make seventeen or eighteen pieces of clothing for her fake bestie, which will embarrass her to death!
Gu Yilin was rubbing Wangcai's dog head and was about to speak when he saw Li Xiaoyue and Li Xianglan walking in from the door together.
"sister in law."
"You are here, please sit down... sit down quickly."
Li Xianglan was the same as usual.
It's only been two months, and her belly hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy yet. She looks good overall, and is much plumper than the last time I saw her.
"Sister-in-law, stop busying yourself," Li Xiaoyue called to Ruan Mingfu who was pouring water, "If you keep doing this, we won't dare to come next time."
"That won't do. You have to drink the water when you come to my place."
It was just a glass of water, why would she bother with that? If Ms. Luan knew that she was being rude, she would grab her ears and scold her.
Ruan Mingfu moved quickly, "Why did you come together today?"
"Just happened to meet at the door," Li Xianglan took a sip from the cup, "Sister-in-law, you don't know that Lao Wang has to control everything I do now. He doesn't even give me time to breathe. It's so annoying."
“Isn’t this good?”
"That's right," Li Xiaoyue took over the conversation, "Captain Wang knows that your pregnancy is hard, and he feels sorry for you. Don't be ungrateful for what you have."
Compared to when we first met, Li Xiaoyue now looks much more cheerful, and there is no longer the depression she had in the hospital in her eyes.
Li Xianglan smiled shyly.
Since Captain Wang sent her mother-in-law away, she has lived a very comfortable life. Captain Wang is very obedient to Li Xianglan, which makes other sisters-in-law envious.
"By the way, you have to ask your mother to come and take care of you after you get pregnant," Li Xiaoyue's eyes dimmed a little as she said this, "and don't overdo it, or you'll end up like me."
Ruan Mingfu knew that she was thinking about her sad memories again.
"How are you now?" Ruan Mingfu looked at her, "your mother-in-law..."
Looking at Li Xiaoyue now, she sighed a little.
There is a good saying.
Women, you have to shed a layer of skin and give up half of your life before you can grow up.
Li Xiaoyue is like this.
She suppressed the smile on her face. "My father-in-law rushed over from the countryside, scolded my mother and son, and went to the hospital to apologize to me... I am fine now, and my body has almost recovered. Old Gu... He was afraid that I would divorce him, so he listened to me."
It’s hard to describe the mother-in-law Li Xiaoyue, but her father-in-law is a sensible man.
Even though he knew she was injured and couldn't have children, he didn't say anything bad. Instead, he comforted her and told her not to take it to heart.
Ruan Mingfu pursed her lips.
She saw the struggle in Li Xiaoyue's eyes.
"Let's not talk about these messy things," Li Xiaoyue took a deep breath, "My daughter's name is Gu Xi, and it was given by my father-in-law."
“Nice name.”
Speaking of her daughter, the smile in Li Xiaoyue's eyes deepened.
"My father-in-law loves her very much. No matter how busy he is, he will hold her for a while. He is also responsible for changing the baby's diapers and feeding her milk powder. The baby's father is very angry, but he cannot win over my father-in-law."
Li Xianglan nodded, "Your good days are still ahead."
"I have discussed with Mr. Gu that we should raise our daughter well."
Anyway, with the suppression of her father-in-law, her mother-in-law dared not make trouble again. Even if she favored boys over girls, she dared not show it.
Li Xiaoyue didn't care about her either.
Since this incident, she and Mrs. Gu have long since fallen out. As long as she doesn't act like a slut in front of her, Li Xiaoyue doesn't bother to pay attention to her.
"Sister-in-law," Li Xiaoyue took out fifty big unity notes, "I'm here to pay back the money."
She was very grateful to Ruan Mingfu.
Li Xiaoyue will never forget her sisters-in-law who helped her when she was in the most difficult times.
Ruan Mingfu pushed the money back.
"Who said the money was for you? It was a gift from me to my child."
"That's great," Li Xianglan laughed, "I'll be a rich woman as soon as the child is born."
Seeing Ruan Mingfu's firm attitude, Li Xiaoyue had no choice but to take the fifty yuan.
"The baby will have a full-month banquet in a few days. Lao Gu and I plan to set up two simple tables at home. Sister-in-law and Xianglan must come."
Ruan Mingfu and Li Xianglan both agreed.
"It's all in the past, we should look forward. Oh, by the way, my brother got a lot of fish from somewhere a while ago, and I can't finish them all. Each of you can take one back and replenish yourselves."
"That won't do!"
Li Xianglan and Li Xiaoyue quickly refused.
When the fish came, Ruan Mingfu and her family gave one away, which was already a huge bargain for them. Now they took another one, and they felt embarrassed.
"Sister-in-law, if you are like this, we dare not stay any longer."
Li Xianglan and the other person looked serious and didn't look like they were joking.
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
"Okay, okay, I won't give it to you."
"Sister-in-law, if you can't finish the fish, you can dry it in the sun," Li Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief. "The weather has been good in recent days, so a week should be enough."
Li Xianglan also nodded.
"You can also cook moldy fish, which is how we eat it in my hometown. Once it's done, it can be kept for a few months. Now that winter is almost here, there's no need to worry about it going bad even in the beginning of next spring."
The more Li Xianglan spoke, the more saliva began to flow from her mouth.
"Molded fish is very fragrant and can be eaten after being lightly fried in oil. It can also be steamed or cooked into soup and the taste is very good."
“Is this true or false?”
Ruan Mingfu's eyes lit up.
After hearing what Li Xianglan said, Gu Yilin also started to feel greedy.
"I made some a while ago and sent it to my sister-in-law when I got home," Li Xianglan said shyly, "but the taste is far worse than my mother's, please don't despise it, sister-in-law."
"How could that be? The name sounds delicious."
Li Xiaoyue also smiled, "I have tried it, it is indeed delicious. When Xianglan teaches sister-in-law how to make it, please call me, and I will come to learn from her."
"I will definitely not forget you."
In the evening, Li Xianglan actually packed a portion of moldy fish.
The fish meat was cut into mahjong-sized pieces and covered with dense red chili powder, without any pungent fishy smell.
Ruan Mingfu handed it to Ms. Luan.
She just fried it in hot oil and added some garlic sprouts. When it came out of the pan, the smell was amazing. In addition to the unique taste of fish, there was also a special aroma similar to fermentation.
As soon as it was served, it was visited by Ruan Mingfu and Gu Yilin.
Except for the chilli powder on the surface, which was a bit scary, everything else was pretty good. Ms. Luan fried the fish in hot oil, and the fish bones in the fish were fried crispy. The fish meat was firm and tasted lightly of wine.
It's just that I put too much salt, so it's a bit salty.
But overall it's good.
"Sisters, let's ask Sister Xianglan to teach us how to make this moldy fish tomorrow."
Gu Yilin was very satisfied with the meal.
The whole plate of fish went into her stomach, and even Luan Rong, who had a small appetite, ate a few more pieces.
Ms. Luan nodded, "It's really good. I'll make more and bring some back to the border."
"Mom, are you leaving?"
This news was like a bolt from the blue for Ruan Mingfu.
"We'll leave the day after tomorrow," Ms. Luan said, drinking tea. "Your father and I have been here for several days, and we've had enough."
Ruan Mingfu's face fell.
"Can't you stay a few more days?"
"no!"
Ruan Mingfu pouted, "Mom, can I go with you..."
As a mama's girl, although I am often scolded by my mother, I feel safe with Ms. Luan around!
"That's enough," Ms. Luan rolled her eyes at her. "You're already married, but you're still so shabby. We're going back. It's not like we won't see each other again. If you have anything, just call me and your dad. Who are you trying to show off your dead face to?"
"……oh."
Damn it, I got scolded again!
"Since my aunt is leaving the day after tomorrow, I'll leave the day after tomorrow too."
Ruan Mingfu looked at Gu Yilin suddenly, "You want to leave too?!"
"Well, I know you can't bear to leave me," she stroked her long hair, "but I've been out for so long, I'm afraid Lao Gu will be worried if I don't go back."
angry!
Everyone has to leave...
Ruan Mingfu's temper was rising.
"Hmph! Don't be so sentimental. No one can bear to part with you."
Gu Yilin glanced at her and felt proud.
Just be tough with fake besties!
"Aunt, my parents said they will help you get the house back."
When they learned that Mr. Ruan and Ms. Luan were rehabilitated, Mr. and Mrs. Gu were indeed panicked for a while, after all, they were assistants before. If the Ruan couple were reinstated, they would have to make room.
Is there any place in Haishi that is more glamorous than being the director of a steel plant or the head of a supply and marketing cooperative?
During those days, Gu's father and mother were so anxious that they had several big blisters on their mouths.
After learning that Mr. Ruan and Ms. Luan were planning to stay on the farm and work for some reason, they felt like they were hit by a pie in the sky.
That was so confusing.
The couple came to their senses and were overjoyed. Since their daughter was still living with the other daughter, they decided to return the favor and take back the Ruan family's house.
"That's great, thank your parents for me," Ms. Luan nodded and smiled, "I'll thank them properly when I go back home for the New Year."
Gu Yilin scratched his hair.
"Auntie, there's no need to be so polite."
Her parents took advantage of her so much, so what's wrong with them getting the house back for someone else?
This is not what they are supposed to do.
Ruan Mingfu was a little dissatisfied, "Mom, when are you leaving the day after tomorrow?"
"Your brother has bought tickets for your father and me. The train is at 7 o'clock the day after tomorrow."
"Ah? Doesn't that mean there's only tomorrow?"
Ruan Mingfu was unhappy.
"Mom, why do you and Dad want to go to the farm? The conditions there are so tough. Why don't you stay here? I'll support you."
"Tell your father this," Ms. Luan glanced at her, "If your father is willing, I will stay."
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
Don’t say that. Don’t say that.
Since her father came, she has tried to persuade him many times, but he is determined to stay on the farm. If she talks too much, he will run away like a rebellious child.
She was at her wit's end.
"Okay then," Ruan Mingfu said reluctantly, "I'll prepare more for you tomorrow."
"I'm afraid it's too late."
Ruan Mingfu looked at Ms. Luan curiously.
But she put down the cup in her hand and said murderously: "I have something important to do tomorrow!"
*
The next day, after Ruan Mingfu got in the car, she found out what Ms. Luan was talking about.
To pursue love is to seek revenge.
It’s still the same group of people as before.
But today there is one more Gu Yilin and one less Xie Yanzhao.
The dog man has something to do and can't come.
Qi Yangyan was driving the car, and Ruan Mingfu was sitting in the passenger seat. In the back seat were Ms. Luan, Luan Rong, and Gu Yilin, who looked excited. Poor Ruan's father was kicked into the bodyguard car again.
Gu Yilin was as excited as a monkey.
She leaned against the car window, watching the scenery passing by, and she was extremely excited.
"Sister, did you see that big lake just now?" She licked the corner of her mouth, "There must be a lot of fish in it."
Ever since he ate the moldy fish, Gu Yilin was amazed and could not forget its taste. Every time he passed a place with water, he would imagine how delicious the fish there would taste if it was made into moldy fish.
Ruan Mingfu: "..."
To be honest, I don’t really want to bother with this crazy-minded fake bestie.
The road today is smoother than before.
Ruan Mingfu sat in the car and did not feel as uncomfortable as before.
The group hurried and finally arrived near noon.
Luan Rong's grandmother's family was well off, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to marry Uncle Luan. They lived in a small town, which was not prosperous but better than the rest.
Seven or eight cars came in, breaking the tranquility of the entire town.
Many children looked at the car curiously, and some brave ones even ran after it, clapping their hands excitedly, making it as lively as the Chinese New Year.
Ms. Luan brushed the hair off Luan Rong's face and said, "Xiao Rong, tell your aunt where your grandmother's house is?"
…
The whole town was half surrounded by a river, and the family near the river was preparing to have dinner.
An old lady with bound feet came out of the kitchen with a bowl, her triangular eyes wide open, cursing non-stop.
"You are all here to collect debts! You are all so grown up, but you still want me to serve you ladies. Get out of here!"
"Useless! Eat, sleep, sleep, eat, pigs can also be sold for money..."
The old lady has a shrill voice.
When she cursed, her voice was so high and piercing that it seemed as if the top of my head was about to be lifted up by her.
"Mom, I've told you so many times not to swear with these words. Do you want to kill us?"
The middle-aged man came out of the room, sleepy-eyed, his clothes hanging askew, revealing his white arms. The woman followed him out, shyly turning her head away.
"You debt collector, you still have the nerve to teach me a lesson?" The old lady was small and capable. She stretched out her hand and pinched his ear. "I did this for you, a jerk. If it were someone else, I would have been at home enjoying my life and taking care of the children at my age."
"Why bother yourself with all that, you useless thing!"
The old lady became angrier as she spoke, and the strength in her hands became stronger and stronger.
“It hurts, it hurts, mother…be gentle…”
The middle-aged man was lying sideways. He was obviously a head taller than the old lady, but he didn't dare to resist. From a distance, he looked like he was hanging on the old lady, which was very funny.
"Go over there and eat!"
He rubbed his ears and dared not talk back again.
The old lady picked up a willow branch nearby and started hitting the middle-aged woman behind him.
"I'll let you be lazy, I'll let you be lazy!"
Although the willow branches were light, they were very painful. Every time they hit someone, a purple mark immediately appeared. The middle-aged woman was beaten so hard that she jumped up and down, as if she was possessed by a monkey spirit.
But no matter how she dodged, the willow branch in the old lady's hand would always hit her accurately.
"Mom, I know I was wrong...hiss, stop hitting me..."
Even though she begged for mercy, the old lady did not let her go and whipped her even harder with the willow branch in her hand.
The middle-aged man looked at this scene and took a breath of cold air.
How could he not know that the old lady had just shown mercy to him.
The middle-aged man's tall body shrank.
Even though the other person was his wife, he did not dare to plead for fear of getting himself into trouble.
After beating her for a while, the old lady got tired and reluctantly let her go.
"Lazy all the way!"
Her inverted triangle eyes stared at the people at the back of the room, "What are you hiding? Get out!"
The three children came out reluctantly.
The girl in the lead looked about ten years old. She twisted the corners of her clothes nervously and said, "Grandma, I worked. I fed the chickens and cleaned the pigsty... I did everything."
The old lady's expression looked much better.
But she still didn't look happy. "Why don't you hurry up and eat? What are you dawdling for? If you don't listen to me, I'll sell you out tomorrow!"
Their faces turned pale and they quickly ran over and sat at the end of the table.
The old lady threw away the willow branches and began to share the rice. As soon as she picked up the spoon, she saw a child running in breathlessly.
"Third Grandma, your relatives are here..."
"What relatives? I don't have such relatives in my family."
The old lady's face looked a little unhappy.
What the hell, why did he come just at dinner time instead of earlier? Doesn’t he have to leave some food for him?
She doesn't have such ignorant relatives!
Just as I was about to ask everyone to eat quickly, I heard the child continue speaking.
"Driving...driving a lot of cars..."
car?
The old lady's triangular eyes widened slightly.
"His aunt, why didn't you tell me earlier that your family has such a prominent relative?" A large number of people suddenly poured in from the outside, all with warm smiles on their faces, "When you become rich, you must help us all up."
"that is!"
"Or maybe it's because her third aunt is capable and keeps the house in perfect order."
"But it's not..."
Ever since the old lady secretly sold her granddaughter, everyone has been treating her with contempt. This kind of compliment is the first time in more than a year.
There was a hint of pride in the old lady's eyes.
These people want beauty and pull them up...
She would never help anyone but those bastards who look at her in a disdainful way.
The middle-aged man, Gao Erjiu, could no longer hold back and stretched his neck to look outside the door. However, there were so many people gathered at the door that it was already blocked tightly. He tried to stand up, but was knocked on.
Mr. Gao glared at him.
"What did I teach you? Don't panic when faced with difficulties. That's how you show your composure." He glared at Uncle Gao with disdain. "You're not good at anything. You're always embarrassing yourself!"
Uncle Gao: “…”
Soon, the roar of a car engine was heard outside the door.
There was a fire in the old lady's triangular eyes.
I wanted to stand up, but then I remembered what the old man said, so I had to sit down gracefully.
People around me are praising me without asking for anything in return.
"His aunt is really a capable person. She can keep calm... I can't do that. I don't have such good composure."
"Who is he? Who are you? Are you worthy enough to compare with his aunt?"
The old lady heard this with approval in her eyes.
Yes.
Not everyone has relatives who can afford a car.
The villagers spoke well of her, and the old lady became even more proud, holding her chin high, as if she were the Empress Dowager of the old society.
At this time, the crowd dispersed.
Ruan Mingfu, Qi Yangyan, and Gu Yilin walked in front. The villagers saw Luan Rong beside Ms. Luan and their eyes widened. Then they reacted and looked at the proud and complacent Gao family as if they were watching a good show.
When the other villagers saw these three people, their eyes lit up.
"She's so pretty... Whose daughter is she? My nephew hasn't proposed to her yet."
"Your nephew is big and strong, how can he be a good match? He is my son, a high school student and good-looking, so he is more than suitable for this girl."
"Bullshit! What's wrong with my nephew? My nephew is a handsome man!"
"Crooked melons and cracked dates..."
These people actually quarreled over the marriage of three people. If there was no one to stop them, they would have fought.
Gu Yilin felt very happy listening to their praise.
"Listen," she pulled Ruan Mingfu's clothes, her face full of pride, "How about it, am I popular?"
If Gu Yilin had a tail, it would have been lifted up to the sky long ago.
Ruan Mingfu glanced at her.
"Okay, okay, you're the best."
"Hmph~"
Gu Yilin raised his chin slightly, just like a peacock spreading its tail.
"Hey! Are you the Gao family?"
Mr. Gao frowned.
Although this girl is good-looking, she is too rude. How can she talk to her parents like that?
There was also a flash of displeasure in the old lady's eyes.
The three skinny girls looked at Ruan Mingfu and Gu Yilin's beautiful clothes with envy.
“You are…”
The middle-aged woman was about to speak when she was stopped by Uncle Gao.
"How can you talk like that? This is our relative!"
He emphasized the word "relatives".
"That's right," Ruan Mingfu narrowed her eyes and slightly turned sideways to reveal Luan Rong behind her, "We are indeed your relatives."
Seeing Luan Rong, everyone in the Gao family was shocked.
The people around who were complimenting him shut their mouths.
They are indeed relatives...just relatives seeking revenge.
Silence, deathly silence.
The old lady was shocked, and her mind was spinning rapidly. She suddenly stood up and walked quickly to Luan Rong, trying to grab her hand, but was stopped by Ms. Luan.
old lady:"……"
Little bitch, I'll come and deal with you later!
She put on a pitiful look, and her eyes turned red.
"Rongrong, where have you been for the past year? Your uncle and his family have been looking for you for a long time but couldn't find you. I was so worried that I couldn't eat or sleep..."
Ms. Luan ignored her and only asked about Luan Rong.
"Xiao Rong, are all the Gao family members here?"
She shook her head quickly.
"My uncle and his family are not here."
Ms. Luan winked at Qi Yangyan, who understood and sent bodyguards into action immediately.
"What do you want to do?" The old lady couldn't pretend any longer. "Don't touch my son, or I will fight you to death!"
"Old lady, I didn't grow up to be scared."
Ms. Luan glanced at the dining table behind her and became filled with anger.
Luan Rong is suffering, but this family is eating happily?
“Smash it for me!”
"How dare you!"
The old lady panicked and stretched out her hands to stop the bodyguards, but she was no match for these people. Just like her mother, the old lady was also picked up in their hands.
“Stop, stop!”
"Crash——"
The bodyguard will show no mercy and will smash things if he says so.
Old Master Gao covered his chest, his face flushed with anger. Second Uncle Gao stepped forward to stop them, but was also severely scolded by the bodyguard. Middle-aged men don't have to be afraid of being beaten. Especially this family did such disgusting things, they deserve to be beaten to death!
Aunt Gao looked at her husband who was beaten terribly and dared not stop him. She could only huddle aside and tremble with fear while holding her children.
The people around didn't dare to stop it.
“…You deserve it!”
I don't know who said this, but it started everyone talking.
"It's also a sin..."
"When Xiaorong came here, her father had just passed away, right?"
"Aunt Gao is a bad person, she deserves what she said. It's not like she has to sell her children because she can't make ends meet."
"I remember his eldest son was promoted to director half a year ago, and his salary is higher than that of all the people in our family combined. Hiss——"
The man seemed to have thought of something and took a deep breath.
"That director of his, could it be that he got the money by selling Xiao Rong..."
Everyone reacted and looked at the Gao family with an even more strange look in their eyes.
Soon, the Gao family's house was in a mess. Everything that could be smashed was smashed, even the bed where they slept was not spared, and the bodyguard brother chopped it all up with an axe.
Mr. Gao wanted to cry but had no tears. He covered his heart and stared at Ms. Luan and her group tremblingly.
"You...you...are completely devoid of conscience!"
Ms. Luan glanced at him and ignored him.
Uncle Gao was beaten so hard that he took in more air than he exhaled. His entire body was swollen, which made him look even more festive.
"You, you guys beat people up, report it to the police... I want to report it to the police!"
"Don't make trouble, old man," Ms. Luan looked at him with a sneer, "When I have settled the accounts with you, even if you don't report to the police, I will still take you there."
It would be too easy for these people to just beat them up.
The bodyguards who were sent out came back soon. They held Uncle Gao's family like chicks. Looking at the scars on his body, it was obvious that he was taught a lesson by the bodyguards just like Uncle Gao.
“This is not…”
Ruan Mingfu looked at Gao Yan's clothes and then looked towards Ms. Luan.
Ms. Luan pursed her lips.
She remembered it too.
It was a new item that had just arrived from the capital when the original owner was at work. The original owner thought it was good, so she bought one for Ruan Mingfu and Luan Rong. But she didn't expect that this dress is now worn by Gao Yan.
Gao Yan felt a little guilty when she saw Luan Rong, but she soon became righteous.
"Cousin, what do you mean?"
She accidentally caught sight of Qi Yangyan standing beside her, and her cheeks immediately flushed. She looked at him shyly and began to lecture Luan Rong again.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you ran away secretly even though you're so old. You made everyone worry. My dad was even worse. He searched for you for a long time but couldn't find you. You delayed my work at the factory and I was almost fired."
"Cousin, you are too ignorant. It's fine if you don't admit your mistakes when you come back, but you bring these people to bully grandpa and grandma... Do you still have a conscience?"
"Good boy~"
After hearing these words, the old lady who was caught was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears.
Luan Rong was blocked by Ms. Luan, with only half of her body showing. She lowered her head slightly, and the expression on her face could not be seen clearly.
Perhaps feeling that her words had worked, Gao Yan continued to work hard.
"Listen to me, let's just let it go. You apologize to grandpa and grandma, pay to repair the house, and give a red envelope to uncle and aunt to calm them down. They are elders and won't hold it against you-ah!!!"
