"This is what happened. Anru, see if you can help them."
After the village chief finished speaking, he stood aside and let Lin Anru make her own decision.
"Uncle San, please save my three children."
A thin, dark woman standing next to the village chief knelt down as soon as the village chief finished explaining the situation. The three children behind her also knelt down.
Lin Anru was startled by their actions and quickly turned sideways to avoid them.
"Mother An Zi, you get up first, and the three of you get up too."
"Uncle San, please, I beg you. As long as you are willing to save my three children, I will work like a slave for you."
The woman did not get up, but knelt down again, and her three children followed her lead.
"Third uncle, please!"
"Third uncle, please!"
"Third uncle, please!"
Lin Anru frowned. Seeing this, Liu Shi hurried in from behind the door. She walked over to Anzi's mother and reached out to help her up.
"Anzi's mother, you kneel down like you're asking for help, but rather making an enemy."
When Anzi's mother heard this, she was so flustered that she stood up swiftly without Liu's support.
She married into Yamada Village when she was fourteen, became a mother at fifteen, and gave birth to three children in a row. At nineteen, she became a widow and raised three children.
She is twenty-four years old now. Before she got married, she was a girl who worked at home with her head covered. After she got married, she either worked at home, gave birth to children, or took care of children.
It seemed like many years had passed, but apart from going out to work, she had hardly ever left the house or socialized. If it weren't for her children, she would still be confined to her own little world.
She grew up in a daze, got married in a daze, gave birth to children in a daze, and now she is a widow and mother of three children in a daze.
She really knew nothing about etiquette and interpersonal relationships. No one had taught her about it, and she had never needed to use it.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know...ah, I'm sorry..."
Anzi's mother apologized repeatedly and subconsciously wanted to kneel down again, but she immediately thought of what Liu said and held back.
"It's okay, ignorance is not a crime."
Liu smiled and tried her best to appear approachable. She could see that Anzi's mother really didn't understand these etiquettes and was also timid.
An Zi's mother stood there at a loss, speechless.
In fact, she still hasn't figured out why kneeling down means making enemies with Lin Anru.
In her memory, the few scenes were all of her father taking them to ask her uncle for help. Her father did this every time, and he succeeded every time. Her uncle would give them what they wanted in the end. It was wrong for her to do it when it was her turn.
Liu saw An Ziniang's confusion, but she did not kneel down and beg people to explain in a threatening manner, even if that person really did not understand.
"Brother Yu, bring some chairs over for your aunt and the others to sit on."
They took out the chairs at home to wash yesterday, but because they were not dry yet, they put them in the yard last night and did not take them back.
Lin Boyu, who was eavesdropping in the house, ran out immediately, ran to the yard like a gust of wind, moved a few stools back and forth, and then ran back to his room like a gust of wind.
"Please sit down and talk slowly if you have something to say." Lin Anru said.
Anzi's mother didn't dare to sit down, as her father never sat down when he went to her uncle's house.
Although what Liu just said was similar to what her father did, her childhood memories made her subconsciously lean more towards her father.
Anzi's mother didn't dare to sit down, and neither did her three children. The four of them just stood there like wooden sticks. It was only after the village chief couldn't stand it anymore and persuaded them again and again that they finally sat down.
"Sixth Son's Wife, when asking for help, you should act like one. We are here to beg, not to threaten. An Ru is not a stingy person. This time, there are no outsiders around, so let it go. But next time, don't kneel for a long time and threaten me. Do you understand?"
An Zi's mother's deceased husband was Liu Zi, and after Liu Zi's death, people began to call her An Zi's mother. An Zi was her eldest son, and now she still addresses people by their generational order.
When a woman is married, she obeys her husband; when her husband dies, she obeys her son. Liu Zi, however, values death above all else, and in order to prevent the living from being overwhelmed with grief, no one will mention the name of her deceased husband.
The village chief called her Liuzi's wife instead of Anzi's mother to give him a warning, and secondly to let Lin Anru give face for her dead cousin.
Most of the time he is a peacemaker, specializing in mediating conflicts among villagers. Lin Anru and Anzi's mother are both villagers of Yamada Village and his younger generations. In addition, he was the one who brought them to the Lin family as a bridge, so he always cares more about them than other villagers.
Anzi's mother suddenly realized it at this time. She said that no wonder her uncle's eyes were always filled with anger every time he saw her father. So this is how it is.
When Anzi's mother thought about offending the person because her request for help failed, she became anxious. She immediately stood up and wanted to kneel down to apologize.
"Sit down, sit down."
Lin Anru reacted quickly and called the man over. After being kneeled down so many times in one day, he thought he was dead.
"The village chief just told me about your situation. If you just don't have money to buy medicine for your child, I can pay for it first, or you can help me with some work to make up for it. There's no need for you to give me such a big gift."
"Really? Really?"
Anzi's mother was stunned. If this matter could be accomplished so easily, then how could Li Ahu's child die like this?
She heard from Wang that they died because Lin Anru refused to give them medicine and they had no money to go to the county town for treatment.
She begged the village chief to ask for help because the dead man and the intruder were brothers from the same clan. She was mentally prepared to be a slave to him, and now it's like this?
"Sister Yu, come out and check your brother and sister's pulse."
Lin Anru ignored her disbelief and went straight towards the house to call Lin Shiyu out.
"Sister, I'm calling you, get out now."
The brother and sister had been lying in the corner eavesdropping. When Lin Anru called out, Lin Shiyu didn't respond, so Lin Boyu started to urge her, fearing that if she was a step slower, her parents would find out that they were eavesdropping.
"What's the rush?"
Lin Shiyu stood up, straightened her clothes, and then walked out slowly. At the same time, she adjusted her facial expression. The moment she walked out to the lobby, she asked with a puzzled look:
"Dad, are you looking for me?"
Lin Shiyu: Eavesdropping?
Does not exist.
Anyway, that person is not me.
