Jumping into the well again
Seeing that Hu Yufeng didn't say anything, Qin Xiaoqin finally got anxious and started crying. The child on the kang saw his mother crying and started crying too.
"What's wrong? What's wrong, auntie?" Xizi heard something wrong and rushed in with chopsticks in hand. But when he walked in, he saw that the person making the "wooooooo" sound was Qin Xiaoqin. Xizi instantly imagined eight hundred words in his mind, rolled his eyes, and went out again.
"Okay, what's the point of crying? What were you doing before? Coax the child and stay at home for now. Your father-in-law has a wide network of contacts. I'll call him and ask him in the evening..."
Um? Hu Yufeng reacted instantly and asked anxiously, "Does your in-laws know that you are here?"
Xiaoqin stopped crying and shook her head.
You are asking for death! How dare you run away with the child without saying anything? Aren’t you afraid of scaring your in-laws to death? Hu Yufeng was so angry that she hit her daughter with a hammer and quickly got up and walked out.
"Ding-ling-ling..." The phone rang several times, and a wheezing voice came from the other end of the phone.
Hu Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her voice and said, "My dear, they are both here with me. I wanted to tell you right away..."
After a while, a choked female voice came from the other end: "That's good, that's good, as long as the person is okay. I won't say anything more, I'll go find Xuxu and his father, I'm still looking for him on the street..."
"Hey hey..." After hanging up the phone, Hu Yufeng's old face turned red. Really, she thought Yang Huzi was blind. This was not just marrying a wife, this was a tribulation for the whole family!
…
"Mom, I'm hungry. Please ask Yang Xiu to make me a bowl of noodles..." As soon as she entered the door, Qin Xiaoqin, who was crying because she was hungry, made the request with confidence.
She had been there for quite a while. There was such a big commotion in the main room, but no one in the house came to check it out. Humph, maybe they are hiding in the house waiting to laugh at her.
But Hu Yufeng glared at her and said, "If you want to live at home, just be at ease. If you are still disrespectful, go back early!"
Qin Xiaoqin looked at her mother in astonishment, "Mom, what do you mean?"
"That's what I mean. It was my fault that I indulged you in such a disrespectful way in the past. I won't do that again in the future. If you still want to recognize me as your mother and the Qin family as your natal family, then be a good person when you come back. If you still act like this and boss people around, then don't come back!" Hu Yufeng said calmly.
She should have said these words a long time ago. But I always thought that her behavior was related to my indulgence, so I thought of being cold to her and giving her time to figure it out and correct herself. But I didn't expect that the child not only didn't change, but even became worse.
"Mom..." Qin Xiaoqin looked at her mother in disbelief and couldn't help but shout "Mom..." again.
She first stared at her mother with some hurt expression, then her gaze gradually grew angry, "Mom, I don't think I know what you are thinking. Ever since Qin Wenli and his wife started setting up their stall, you have been trying to curry their favor. I am useless and I cannot make money, so you just don't like me. Ha..."
"When Yang Xu came with me before, you wanted to take out everything you had at home. After I gave birth to the child, every time you called, you didn't ask if I and the child were okay. When you opened your mouth, you were considerate of Yang Xu, and when you closed your mouth, you were talking about work. Isn't it because you want Yang Xu to have a job and a future? Well, today you know that Yang Xu can't keep his job, and you changed your face... Haha, who would want to come to your shabby house? Didn't you call me to come that time, and now you drive me out because you don't need it anymore... Haha, fine, if you don't recognize it, then don't recognize it. I don't have a mother as snobbish as you. You think Qin Wenli and his wife are good, but you don't think about how you tortured them in the past, and you think they are as soft-hearted as me. I'll just watch and see what happens to you!"
Hu Yufeng stared into her eyes as soon as she opened her mouth, listening to these harsh words that were like a sharp blade cutting into her heart again and again.
Every cut was painful, but it also made her extremely clear-headed. She never knew that her good intentions were all biased and snobbish in Xiaoqin's eyes. Even so, she still hoped that Xiaoqin would wake up one day, haha...
Seeing that she didn't say a word, Qin Xiaoqin thought that she had no words to refute, and the disappointment in her eyes turned into hatred: "I should have grown up on the plains, but you insisted on bringing me to the mountains. You married me to the Yang family in order to hook up with rich people... I was stupid and didn't understand anything before, but now I understand, which step I took since I was a child was not beneficial to you? You took advantage of me and want to get rid of me, how could you do that, aren't you afraid of heaven..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Shut up. If you have something to say, why don't you just talk about it calmly? Instead of yelling, look how scared the child is..." Qin Shengtian scolded with a sullen face.
It's snowing heavily and he can't herd the sheep, so he rarely stays at home for a day. Just when he was about to go talk to his eldest brother, he heard Liu Shehong saying that Xiaoqin was going crazy and asked him to help persuade her. His first reaction was resistance. To be honest, this girl has been taken care of by her mother since she was a child, and she has no feelings for him. The only conversations between the father and daughter are "Are you here?" and "Eat them", which is really just a little better than strangers.
Now she is fighting with her mother again, so she dare not go. My goodness, maybe they would just quarrel and it would be fine, but as soon as he went there, they immediately turned their fire upon him, wasn't he just asking for trouble?
But Liu Shehong didn't listen and pulled him away, almost making him stumble. After entering the yard, he was ready to run away if he saw that the situation was not right, but he didn't expect his face to darken as he listened. This old woman was mean to herself and Wenli, but she was truly sincere to Xiaoqin.
The sound became more and more irritating. He strode in and shouted at Xiaoqin.
…
"Xiaoqin, go and comfort the child. How can anything be more important than a child? This is the root of your Yang family. If you run with the child in the snow, if something happens to him, I wonder if the Yang family will want you!"
Qin Xiaoqin, who was already overwhelmed by anger, finally woke up for a brief moment, and in that moment her ears were filled with her son's heart-wrenching cries.
Seeing that the fighting had stopped, Qin Shengtian tentatively stretched out his hand to push the old woman out of the door, but he saw Hu Yufeng didn't look at anyone and walked out of the yard without saying a word.
"Take good care of the child..." Qin Shengtian instructed Qin Xiaoqin and hurriedly chased after her.
Every word Xiaoqin said was full of thorns, and even an outsider like me couldn't stand listening to it. Could it be that this old woman who was so sincere and open-hearted was going to be upset?
When he went out and saw no one, he ran to the well. Not seeing anyone, he stuck his butt out and stretched his head to look at the dark well water again. There was not even a ripple in the well water, and it didn't look like anyone was there. He stood up, found something nearby and knelt down again...
…
But as soon as Chen Xiulian came out of the toilet, she saw Qin Shengtian rushing forward with empty hands. There is only a well in this direction. Isn't it obvious what he is going to do? Combined with the faint noise from next door, Chen Xiulian was startled and ran to Qin Wenzhen's house, shouting as she ran.
"Oh no, your second uncle jumped into the well... Wenli, Wenli, your father jumped into the well!"
Wen Li had gone out to deliver the goods before the snow fell, and his shout scared everyone in the operation room. The yard was so small, and Xiaoqin was roaring without restraint, so the four of them could hear it clearly from inside. Precisely because they could hear it clearly, it was even more difficult to go out. They had to let Huizi and Shi Liming hold back Xizi who was struggling to help, while Liu Shehong went out to find someone.
Qin Xiaoqin, who was just about to feed her child on the kang in the main room, was also scared to death. Oh my god, why did her father jump into the well? Could it be that he had a quarrel with her mother because of her? When I thought about it, I suddenly felt a sense of fear in my heart. It doesn’t matter. How could this have anything to do with her? She didn’t quarrel with his father anyway. I was trying to comfort myself, but my hands were shaking so much that I could hardly hold the child.
Qin Wenzhen, who was resting at home, didn't even bother to ask about the situation. He just pulled up his shoes and ran.
When a group of people rushed over, they saw Qin Shengtian sticking his butt out and looking into the well with something in his hand.
"Stop first, I'll go take a look..." Qin Wenzhen made a stop gesture and walked over quietly, ready to catch his second uncle when he was not paying attention.
However, Qin Shengtian had already heard the noisy footsteps, but thought that everyone was also looking for Hu Yufeng, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He turned around and saw that it was Qin Wen Zheng, so he said, "I looked, but it's not in the well. Let's look somewhere else!"
Qin Wenzheng:?
Qin Shengtian stood up, threw the stick aside, turned around and was puzzled to see so many women.
"Why are you all running here? There are so many of you. Spread out your efforts to look for her. Young people just don't know how to handle things... And sister-in-law, you should go back quickly. It's snowing heavily and it's slippery. If you don't find her, you'll fall and that'll be the end of you!"
Everyone looked at each other, confused. It didn't look like they were going to jump into the well!
"What are you looking for, second uncle?" Qin Wenzhen finally pulled the main thread out of the mess.
"Your second aunt, she ran away because of Xiaoqin. I was worried that she would be upset, so I came to see what was wrong. Aren't you running around looking for your second aunt?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking that jumping into the well was fake but the purpose was to find someone!
Chen Xiulian, who had made a mistake, felt a little embarrassed at first, but her eyes became brighter as she listened, "Did Xiaoqin quarrel with her mother after returning? And she was madly angered by her sister-in-law and ran away? Oh my god, why is this child still so ignorant..."
Qin Wen Zheng, however, had a cold expression on his face and ran up first. My second aunt-in-law isn't the kind of person who would commit suicide at any time, so I'm afraid she's probably still at home. It’s better to go and take a look. What if something bad happens due to anger? How will we explain it when Wenli and his wife are not at home?
Seeing this, the rest of the people ran back home.
Only Chen Xiulian was slow, and while chasing Qin Shengtian she asked, "What did Xiaoqin say? Why did her mother run away in anger?"
Qin Shengtian and his group were looking for someone, but they had no time to pay attention to her and left the old lady behind in a few steps.
In the sheep shed, Hu Yufeng was adding grass to the sheep with a sullen face.
It would be a lie to say I'm not sad, but it's not to say I'm heartbroken. After all, I have seen it once in my dream and verified it over and over again in reality. I already knew it, right? It was just that she still held on to some fantasies, and today those fantasies were shattered and she had to return to reality.
But everyone who found their way outside the sheep shed was silent when they saw the heartbroken old woman: they saw the thin and short old woman carrying a large basket that was about twice her diameter, and the heavy fodder made her body tilt to one side. The snowflakes were clearly as light as a hair, but when they fell on her head and shoulders, they seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, making her stagger.
"Alas, I have long said that she has spoiled Xiaoqin, but she insisted that I was jealous of her. Look how angry I am..."
