"Auntie Blind is actually very easy to get along with!"
Song Laidi smiled shyly, "It's just that sometimes, because I can't see, I inevitably get anxious and upset."
"Okay, when are you planning to move in?"
"Let's move today. Dangzi's dad will be here later!"
"OK!"
Jiang Yi truly didn't expect this day to come so soon.
In her mind, even if Song Laidi wanted to get back together with Li Yaojun, there would be some back-and-forth struggle involved.
Well, she simply doesn't understand the mindset of people in this era. Women of this time are simple-minded, unlike women of later generations, many of whom are shrewd and calculating, and constantly put on various tests.
Jiang Yi didn't know what would happen between Song Laidi and Li Yaojun in the future, but they weren't particularly close, and she couldn't possibly interfere in Song Laidi's life.
Life is fleeting, like the life of a plant in autumn. In just a few short decades, who dares to say that anyone is living a better life than anyone else?
Do not advise others to do good without experiencing their suffering yourself.
Whether the shoes fit or not, only the wearer knows.
...
Song Laidi moved out that afternoon.
When Li Yaojun came to pick up the mother and her two children, he made a point of thanking Jiang Yi, though it was only a verbal thank you.
These days, the couple can be described as destitute, with nothing but basic bedding and clothes.
To express her congratulations, Jiang Yi specially gave the two of them a small bag of wheat.
Jiang Yi was a major contributor to the village's wheat harvest and received a larger share of the wheat, which was met with little objection from the villagers.
As for those who disagree, the minority shall yield to the majority.
"Mother, will Third Aunt come back?"
Da Hua stood with Jiang Yi at the door, watching Song Laidi leave with Li Yaojun, and asked a question quietly.
Jiang Yi smiled instantly and said, "Do you want your third aunt to come back?"
"In no mood!"
Da Hua answered seriously, "Dangzi and Nizi are always shouting that they want to find their father, it's so annoying."
"Dahua, don't you miss your father?"
"In no mood!"
This time, Da Hua spoke with absolute certainty, "Dad only listens to Grandma and never cares about us. I didn't care what he did."
"Mother, you wouldn't want to too..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if Mother were dead, she wouldn't miss it!"
Jiang Yi truly despised Li Yaoqian. Calling him "rotten mud" would be an insult to even the mud itself.
"Mother, let's just live like this!"
"Erhua and I are both grown up now, we can help you with chores!"
"Mother knows!"
"However, we don't need you!"
Jiang Yi chuckled, "Your mother is now the most capable person in our village, one of us is as strong as two strong laborers. It's more than enough to support you all!"
"When spring comes and the village primary school opens, you and Erhua can go to school!"
"Mom, it's no use if we don't go to school!"
"Who says it's useless?"
Jiang Yi glared at Da Hua and looked at her very seriously, "If you don't study, you won't understand reason. If you go out and don't know a single word, you'll get lost and won't be able to find your way home!"
"I'm not going out; I'm staying in the village!"
"Also, what will happen to my third and fourth sisters if we go to school?"
"Don't worry about that!"
"I'll take care of it!"
"I'm thinking of suggesting that the village build a daycare center and hire people to take care of the children, so that the adults can go up the mountain to work without worrying about them!"
Jiang Yi had already planned out her next move; why would she want to cause trouble for herself?
