Chapter 490 I Want to Go Home 2
The middle-aged woman took two fruit candies out of her pocket and placed them in his palm, which made the boy even happier!
He peeled off the candy wrapper, put it in his mouth, and skipped and hopped out to show off to his friends that he had a wife.
Sanni banged on the door for ages, until her hands ached, but no one answered.
She finally couldn't hold back anymore, squatted down, hugged herself, and burst into tears: "Grandma, my sweetheart, I want to go home!"
He's only a nine-year-old child after all, and it's already quite impressive that he's been able to hold back his emotions this long.
The heartbroken cries reached the family's ears through the house, but they pretended not to hear them.
Anyway, she cried until she was tired and hoarse, then she stopped crying on her own.
Moreover, the thought of having a capable and literate daughter-in-law in the future made the middle-aged woman extremely happy.
When cooking, I rarely wiped the bottom of the pot twice with an oil cloth, and the cloth, soaked in lard, made the bottom of the pot shiny with oil.
Today a new bride is coming into the house, so we should have some meat.
Inside the main room, a middle-aged man placed a bag on the cabinet and took out an incense stick from it.
After lighting the incense with a match, I shook off the flame and placed it in front of the memorial tablet in the center: "Dalong, your parents have found you a wife. She's good-looking, strong, and most importantly, she's educated and can teach your younger brother to read! You can rest in peace now!"
As he spoke, a trace of sadness flashed across his face as he looked at the name on the memorial tablet.
These days, taking photos is too expensive, so they didn't think about taking a picture of their child. Therefore, the memorial tablet only has the child's name, not a photo.
"Honey, dinner's ready. Open the door." After finishing cooking, the middle-aged woman stood outside the door where Sanni was locked, holding the food, and called out.
The crying inside has stopped; they must have cried themselves to exhaustion!
The middle-aged man took out his key from his pocket and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Sanni rushed out from the shadows, but was grabbed by the man who was already prepared.
Those dark, rough hands gripped her arms tightly, and no matter how hard Sanni struggled, she couldn't shake them off.
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She frantically pried his fingers off, screaming, "Let go of me! Let go of me!"
Neither of them was angry. Grandma Zhang smiled and placed the food on the cupboard: "Daughter, make do with this for lunch. I'll stir-fry some cured meat for you tonight. That cured meat is very fragrant!"
The new bride is here for the first time, so she should be treated to a good meal. They will also be getting married in the evening. Today is a very happy day!
"I don't want to eat! I want to go home!"
Sanni's eyes were bloodshot and filled with anger as she shouted at the two of them, "I'm not your daughter!"
"Silly girl, this will be your home from now on," Grandma Zhang said softly.
With that, he walked out of the house and closed the door again.
The family then began to eat lunch.
The half-thick, half-thick wild vegetable and brown rice porridge, the sweet potato cakes with more wild vegetables than sweet potatoes, and the slightly oily stir-fried carrots were already better than what we usually eat!
The three of them held their bowls and ate heartily, slurping and munching happily.
"If only I could get married every day!" the boy said, smacking his lips.
The middle-aged couple exchanged a glance, then threw their heads back and burst into laughter: "Silly boy! You can't get a wife every day."
Outside, there was laughter and cheerful conversation, but Sanni didn't even glance at the food.
She crouched in the corner, hugging herself, burying her head between her knees, sobbing sadly.
She doesn't want to stay here!
She wants to go home!!
