Chapter 18: Wen Zhiqing, we will never forget your great kindness
Mother Xiao looked at her daughter and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, it depends on what you think. If you still want to live with Li Chenggang's child, I have to be sensible in what I do."
Xiao Chenyue shook her head, "Mom, I don't want to live with him anymore." Her hands holding the swaddling clothes tightened a little, and because of her nervousness, she spoke faster unconsciously.
"I know that if I go back now, I will definitely be a burden, but I..."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Chenyue was hugged by her mother. "Silly child, you are not a burden. You are my first daughter and the apple of my eye."
Is it the one you love most?
Xiao Chenyue recalled the days she spent at Li Chenggang's house. She felt that she was worse than a dog there.
She thought she had cried all her tears dry, but at this moment, she couldn't hold it back anymore. She hugged her child and nestled in Xiao's mother's arms, breaking down and crying.
When Wen Ran saw this, he felt sad.
Xiao Chenye didn't say anything, his eyes were red silently, Wen Ran looked at him and comforted him softly: "It's okay, Second Sister knows it clearly, as long as we can hold on, no one can bully her."
Xiao Chenye turned his head, with a flash of fragility in his eyes, "I know, I just feel a little regretful. If I had gone to see my sister earlier, this wouldn't have happened."
"What does the Li family have to do with you?"
"Yes," Xiao Chenyue also figured it out, "It's the Li family's business, it has nothing to do with us, I'm right, everyone is right..."
.
When they got home, Xiao Chenye moved Xiao Chenyue to the inner room.
The child woke up, but he was still obedient, with his eyes open and not crying. He just kept crying with his mouth open and his nose wrinkled.
To be honest, this child is not good-looking. He is skinny and has very sparse hair. But he is so pitiful.
Xiao's mother was busy in the house, and Xiao Chenye couldn't help, so he led the Red Army up the mountain, probably wanting to get some meat for Xiao Chenyue to replenish her body.
Father Xiao also came back from the fields in a hurry and walked into the house with a grim look on his face.
After all, this was a family matter, so Wen Ran did not rush forward to join in. She dragged the backpack back to her own hut. She brought back a lot of things this time, including daily necessities, as well as some homespun cloth and cotton.
And milk powder...
Wen Ran had just packed up his things when there was a knock on the door.
Mother Xiao's slightly embarrassed voice came from outside the door, "Xiao Wen Zhiqing, are you there?"
"I am here!"
Wen Ran ran over quickly and opened the door, "Aunt, what's wrong?"
"I, I... I'm really sorry," Xiao's mother knew that it was really rude of her to say this, but looking at her thin daughter and granddaughter, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
"I, I want to exchange money for milk powder with you."
Xiao's mother was a little hesitant.
Wen Ran could understand that at this moment, not to mention milk powder, even malted milk was a rare thing.
"OK."
Seeing Wen Ran agree immediately, Xiao's mother was even more moved and stuffed fifteen yuan into his pocket.
"Xiao Wen, I know that no matter how much money we give you, you are the one who suffers the loss. Once we get through this difficult time, our whole family will repay you well."
"Let the child eat first."
If you ask yourself, this price is already very high.
Of course, Wen Ran didn't get the milk powder from the black market. She took it out of the space by pulling the backpack. In order to hide her identity, she quickly changed the packaging of the milk powder.
After packing up, Wen Ran followed Xiao's mother to the east room to look after the children.
There was no one else in the room except the mother and daughter.
When Xiao Chenyue saw Wen Ran, her eyes were filled with gratitude. "Little Wen, you are so kind and generous. I really..."
"Stop talking," Wen Ran was really scared, "My ears are going to get calluses."
After just a few words, Xiao's father came home with a large group of people.
The first group to come in were a few uncles, who were quite old and had thick beards.
After saying a few words of greeting, Xiao Chenyue began to inquire about the whole story.
Xiao Chenyue explained everything one by one. She wasn't in a low mood. On the contrary, she felt a little energetic because she was back at her mother's home.
The uncles groaned for a while, "We all know about this matter, and we will definitely seek justice for you."
After everyone left, Xiao's mother explained in a low voice: "It's like this here. If a married girl is bullied, the elders and young people in the same clan have to support her."
Wen Ran was surprised, "Is this still possible?"
"I am forced to do this. It is not easy for women to live in this world. If I don't protect my own children, others will not take them seriously."
Xiao Chenyue calmed down a lot. "My uncles also made a decision for me once before. At that time, the Li family burst into tears. I was deceived by the illusion and chose to give them another chance."
Thinking of this, she smiled bitterly, "Now it seems that I was so wrong. A beast is a beast. Giving him a chance is useless."
Wen Ran didn't comment too much. As night fell, she tidied up and went to bed.
She has to go to work tomorrow, so she needs to conserve her energy and find a way to be lazy at work.
The next morning, the roosters in the neighbor's house began to crow. Wen Ran was startled and got up from the kang. Looking at all the unfamiliar things, he subconsciously reached under the pillow to grab his cell phone.
Nothing was found.
Oh~
When she regained consciousness, she realized belatedly that she had already put it on.
Xiao Chenye made breakfast, which consisted of stir-fried cabbage, and the staple food was boiled young corn cobs.
There was still chicken soup stewing in the pot. Wen Ran was sensible. She knew that it was for Xiao Erjie to increase her milk production, so she didn't even glance over there.
Instead, Xiao Chenye made a bowl of soup and tore some shredded chicken, and brought it to Wen Ran, saying sparingly, "Eat."
"I?"
"Um."
Wen Ran declined, quickly took two bites of cabbage, picked up an ear of corn and stood up, "No, this is for my second sister. I won't fight with a woman who has just given birth to her baby for food."
Wanted to leave, but didn't.
Xiao Chenye pressed lightly, and Wen Ran's buttocks touched the stool again.
Wen Ran: “?”
Bro, don’t do that. She will really lose face if you do that!
"Who said you were trying to steal food from a woman who had just given birth?" Xiao Chenye looked puzzled. "It's hot, and the meat won't keep well. I told you to eat it, so you ate it. When you're done, I'll go fight you."
This was said with great pride, Wen Ran chuckled, "Really?"
"Don't underestimate me. If you can run long distances outside, you can't survive without some skills." Xiao Chenye paused and urged: "Hurry up, you will be too late soon."
Wen Ran started to drink the chicken soup, but Xiao Chenye was too honest. Wen Ran couldn't finish the whole bowl of chicken soup, so he left a small half of it awkwardly.
"Are you full?"
"Um."
Xiao Chenye picked up the bowl, drank it in one breath, put it down, and said calmly, "Let's go."
Wen Ran grabbed the corn and followed, dazed, "Where are we going?"
"…Do you know where I can get a job?"
Wen Ran turned off the microphone. OK, she really didn’t know.
Many years later.
Xiao Chenye and Wen Ran, who have long become an old couple, snuggled together.
Xiao Chenye had a happy face, recalling this bowl of chicken soup, and was moved to hug Wen Ran and rub against him, "I knew you gave it to me because you felt sorry for me and didn't want to finish it."
Wen Ran: “?”
No impression at all.
After Xiao Chenye's excited description, she remembered.
"Uh, I really can't eat anymore."
"...Impossible. If you're full, what would you do with the corn?"
"…It's a snack."
Xiao Chenye: “?”
Refuse to accept this explanation!!!
