Tong Yiya was delighted. She finally waited for them to speak, and replied with a smile: "Sister, I am going to Taojia Village to find my cousin's wife. Her husband went to the northwest for some reason. She said she would bring her children back to live for a while. My mother saw that she hadn't been back for a long time, so she asked me to come and see her."
"That elder sister has never been to our village, right? I don't know what your cousin's wife's name is. I haven't heard of any old girl coming back with her children during this period," the aunt next to her asked.
"Yes, I have never been back. Sister, have you come to the wrong place?" the other lady also said.
Tong Yiya pretended to think for a moment before she said with certainty: "No, my mother clearly told me that it was from Taojia Village Brigade of Yangliu Commune, how could it be wrong?"
"Then tell me what your cousin's wife's name is, so we can see if she is from our village. Otherwise, it will take you a long time to find her," asked the aunt who spoke first.
"Well, it seems her name is Tao Zhaodi. I'm not sure, but I just remember that my mother always called her Zhaodi when she saw her." Tong Yiya was not afraid and directly said Tao Zhaodi's name. She came to inquire about their family's affairs. If she just said it, these aunts would tell her what was going on.
"Oh, it's the daughter of Tao Dagou from the east end of the village. Isn't that woman almost forty years old, and she has been back for several years." The aunties at the back were also paying attention to the conversation here. When she heard Tong Yiya say Tao Zhaodi's name, she hurriedly spoke up and joined the conversation.
"That's right, big sister, do you know that she is still in the village? My mother is still waiting for me to persuade her to go back. She said that she doesn't know if my cousin can come back, but we have to take the two children back to give him some roots," Tong Yiya looked at the person who was speaking and asked
"Oh, she has been back for several years, and not long after she came back, her mother remarried," the aunt said with a gossipy look on her face.
"Yes, I've heard of it too. It seems that she was the childless second-married woman who married into the Wang family in the next village." Another aunt seemed to have remembered what happened that year and continued the conversation.
"Ah...my cousin's wife has remarried. What about the children? My cousin's two children are not little anymore. They have grown up now and can work when they go back." Tong Yiya asked in surprise. It seemed that she just wanted to take the children back. As for whether Tao Zhaodi remarried or not, she didn't care.
"You mean the two children she brought back? I haven't seen them many times. It seems that I haven't seen them since she remarried. They should have been taken to her current husband's family," the aunt thought for a while before speaking. Because she really couldn't be sure where the two teenagers had gone. No one asked about it at the time. Everyone thought they had married with Tao Zhaodi.
Seeing that none of them knew about this, the aunt on the side was proud of herself for knowing it, so she came over and said, "Why are you going? I know about this. Let me tell you, Tao Zhaodi was only about fourteen years old at the time, and it seems that she was sold to a village deep in the mountains by her mother.
It seems that she took her son with her. After all, the second husband she married divorced his ex-wife because he didn't get pregnant after being married for a long time. So she found someone to take care of her son. Even if she doesn't have her own children in the future, this half-grown boy can be raised by her for a few years to support her in her old age."
When Tong Yiya heard that her biological mother had sent her to live a good life before she even did anything, she thought that she would not have to go to Tao Zhaodi's parents' home for a while, so she went directly to find Tao Zhaodi to get some money to spend. As for how she would live in the future, she didn't care.
Tong Yiya never thought of killing Tao Zhaodi. After all, some people are more miserable when they are alive than when they are dead. Now that her son and daughter are not around and the family has no money, how can her life be easy?
Thinking of this, Tong Yiya's expression changed. She secretly took out the chopped onions from the space, grabbed two handfuls from her pocket, and covered her eyes. Soon, tears came down, and she cursed: "Oh my God, what a sin this is. My cousin only has a pair of children, how could they be harmed by the Tao family? How can I explain to my mother when I go back? She is over 80 years old. She must have fainted after hearing such news."
The gossiping people nearby were frightened by her miserable cries and stopped talking immediately. The aunt who was sitting close to her hurriedly comforted her, "Hey, sister, you have to think more positively. Your cousin's son is still alive. You should take the child back first. As for the girl, we don't know which mountain village she is in now. You can't find her even if you want to. You might as well relax and educate the boy well."
"That's right, elder sister, listen to my advice. The girl will get married sooner or later. You can just treat her as a married woman. The most important thing now is to get the boy back first." Another aunt also advised.
Tong Yiya listened to their advice and slowly stopped crying, but her tears were still flowing (Onion: Who told you to want to see my heart? You deserve it) She sobbed and said, "I also know that I have to get my cousin's son back first, but I know where their home is. I only found this place according to the address my mother gave me. Tao Zhaodi is not here anymore, so I have to go there to find her."
"Oh, it's not that difficult. My family is from the next village. I know where the family is. We'll get off the ox cart at the fork in the road and I'll take you there," said the aunt on the side.
"Would that be too much trouble for you, elder sister? How can I do this?" Tong Yiya said a little embarrassedly.
"It's no trouble, I just happened to be visiting my mother's house," the aunt said nonchalantly.
She doesn't mind the trouble. If she is taken with her, she can report what she sees back to the village. She is a gossip girl in the village and likes to inquire about these family matters and then tell others about them.
Tong Yiya's tears slowly stopped, but she still pretended to sob and said, "Thank you, big sister. As long as I can find my nephew, I will definitely come to thank you in the future."
"No, no, it's not a big deal, just a guide," the elder sister waved her hand and refused.
Tong Yiya then pretended to be sad for the child. The aunties thought she was sad, so they stopped talking to her and turned to the other side to talk in a low voice.
Soon they reached the fork in the road between two villages. The auntie who had just said she would lead the way asked the driver in front to stop the cart and gave her backpack to her sister-in-law to take back. She then jumped off the cart and said to Tong Yiya, "Sister, get off. We have to walk this section."
