Shen Erming ultimately did not offer his apology.
Because Zhao Di left quickly, and then her family soon followed suit and left the Mei family's place as well.
Throughout the journey, Tian Guifen suppressed her anger.
Little Zhou sighed.
After returning home, Tian Guifen went to the kitchen to retrieve the fire poker and chased everyone out.
Then……
Daqiao Xiaolou and Shen Liuliu, along with Zaizai and A Si, slammed their hands on the door to eavesdrop on what was happening inside.
Hearing the sound of the stick hitting flesh, the little children chuckled excitedly.
That feels so good.
"Wow, poor Second Uncle, he's so old and he still gets beaten by Grandma."
Ohashi spoke bluntly.
Ah Si is still young and doesn't understand how to whisper.
So I spoke at a normal volume.
"...Second Uncle is so old."
At this age, little kids love to imitate adults' speech.
Daqiao's thick eyebrows furrowed: "Don't mimic my speech."
Shen Liuliu sighed, "Hey, Second Brother, give us a shout too, so we can enjoy it."
The little one immediately mimicked, "Call out 'Second Brother' twice!"
The children eavesdropping outside: ...
Both the person who was beating and the person who was being beaten inside fell silent.
Tian Guifen suddenly felt that her second son was quite pitiful.
Let yourself get beaten up.
And her nephews complain about her age.
And now his sister still dislikes him. He was hit and was criticized for not shouting.
Tian Guifen hesitated, unsure of what to do.
That's so pitiful.
Shen Erming gritted his teeth and shouted, "Shen Liuliu, you just wait!"
"Oh ho, you dare threaten my daughter? You're asking for a beating!" Tian Guifen instantly lost her temper and lashed out with the stick twice.
Shen Erming looked grief-stricken: !!
He's just a doormat!
No, he can't stay in this house anymore! He has to leave!
So when Tian Guifen discovered that Shen Erming was missing at breakfast the next day, she was so angry that she was stunned.
Even more bewildered was Shen Sanlin.
Shen Sanlin weakly raised his hand and said, "Last night, my second brother came to me and said he had to leave. He and you had originally planned to meet tomorrow. But he suddenly remembered that he forgot something, so he had to leave last night and asked me to tell you this morning..."
so.
Second brother, you've really screwed me over!
You left so gracefully, leaving me behind to bear the brunt of my anger.
You really are a loving older brother!
As expected, Tian Guifen immediately turned her anger on Shen Erming: "You believe everything Shen Erming says? Can't you just..."
crackling sounds...
Everyone felt as if firecrackers were going off in their ears.
Even Fang Hui, who had just returned from town today, didn't say a word.
Just kidding, it's one thing for a mother to scold her son, but it's another thing if she interrupts.
They're my own mother, what else can I do?
"That bastard, he's thirty years old and still wants to party? He's got a death wish! He's infuriating me! Asking him to go on a blind date is like taking his life!"
Tian Guifen slammed her hand on the table, making a loud clanging sound.
The only person in the family who hasn't gotten used to Tian Guifen's irritability is probably Shen Sishi.
Seeing Shen Sisi's bewildered and frightened expression, Shen Yishan suddenly had an idea.
Taking advantage of his mother's lingering anger, he loudly asked, "Stone, you're not getting any younger, when are you going to go on a blind date?"
Tian Guifen, who was now particularly sensitive to the word "blind date," instantly turned her head and stared intently at Shen Sishi.
Shen Sishi: ...
Shen Sishi swallowed hard, feeling utterly devastated.
He said, "I just got back, and I still want to spend more time with my family... As for blind dates... let's talk about them next year."
As he spoke, he looked at Tian Guifen with a pitiful yet expectant gaze.
Tian Guifen already felt indebted to this son, and therefore lacked confidence.
So they let it go immediately.
Besides, they gave their reasons and time; next year isn't too late.
Yes, that's fine.
With that, the blind date controversy finally came to an end.
Time flies.
The New Year has arrived in the blink of an eye.
Despite his mother's anger, Shen Erming leisurely spent another year.
Shen Liuliu is finally nine years old.
The only regret is that Wu Tiao couldn't come back for the Chinese New Year.
The current five-times-jumping crew is thriving in the canal transport industry, and this is a crucial period for them.
Since Tian Guifen and Shen Wanli couldn't help their son, they naturally wouldn't hold him back.
Not only did she agree to let Wu Tiao stay there for the New Year, but she also sent a lot of things and silver notes through someone, fearing that her youngest son might be short of something.
Zaizai and Asi are both five years old now, big kids, and Wang Xiuhe can finally free up some of her hands to do some things on her own.
However, the five-year-olds were incredibly mischievous, and Tian Guifen simply couldn't keep up with her two grandsons.
With no other option, Wang Xiuhe could only continue taking care of the children.
After all, Tian Guifen is getting old, so it's normal that she can't keep up with the children.
But Tian Guifen felt sorry for her daughter-in-law, so she hired two twelve or thirteen-year-old girls in Lotus Village.
Just have these two girls look after Ah Si and Zai Zai every day, play with them, and make sure they don't get hurt.
Each person receives ten coins per day.
The two girls thanked him happily, while other families with daughters stomped their feet in anger.
Several families, even those who were related, came to Tian Guifen multiple times to promote their daughters.
Tian Guifen was almost driven crazy by the annoyance. In the end, the whole family went to the city to see the lantern festival and stayed until after the first month of the lunar calendar before returning.
That finally calmed things down.
The family had just returned home when they heard that Chu Yaya's house had caught fire on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Then……
Grandma Chu was too old, and given that the fire happened in the middle of the night, she reacted too late...
By the time they were rescued, the person was already dead.
Eighteen-year-old Chu Yaya remained silent, dressed in mourning clothes, and held a funeral for her grandmother.
Just when everyone thought she was being a bit cold, Chu Yaya knelt before Grandma Chu's grave, slashed her palm with a dagger, pointed to heaven and earth, and swore an oath to the gods and the spirits of the dead—
"If you don't kill the person behind your back, you'll die without a burial place!"
"What? Someone deliberately set the fire? Have they found the culprit?"
Shen Liuliu exclaimed in surprise and quickly pressed for an answer.
Little Zhou shook her head: "That day was the Lantern Festival. Everyone was at home celebrating, and no one came out, so no one saw anyone."
"Even though Ya Ya kept saying that someone deliberately set the fire, it was just her saying it; no one else found any trace of it."
If someone deliberately sets a fire, it's very difficult to trace the source of the problem.
"Sigh, I think Ya Ya has become even more aloof; there's not a trace of a smile in her eyes. This incident has been a huge blow to her."
Tian Guifen also sighed.
Grandma Chu is Chu Yaya's only relative and her only weakness.
How could Chu Yaya possibly accept her sudden passing?
only……
"Even if someone deliberately set the fire, it would be extremely difficult to find out the truth."
"That's right."
Everyone wanted to help this poor girl, but no one knew where to start.
Shen Liuliu looked grave. Just as she was about to go outside to ask Xiao Hui and Xiao Hei, she suddenly heard shouts and commotion on the street outside.
Wow, what a huge carriage!
"It seems they went to Chu Yaya's house?"
