Tonight, Xie's mother also went back to her own home to sleep. What she meant was that she couldn't let an old man like Xie's father spend the New Year at home. It was so pitiful.
Su Li and Xie Zhengchuan also agreed very much, so at night the two of them brought Jingyu's three children to their own kang.
Taking care of children is not an easy job, especially when there are three energetic kids in their family. For some reason, the three children were very excited tonight, rolling around on the kang. Su Li was frightened when she saw them, fearing that they would fall onto the ground.
夌㟧妮's home.
After finishing her meal, the old woman picked her teeth and raised her chin towards the old man, asking him to bring the two leftover vegetable dumplings on the table to her.
The old man hurriedly poured the leftovers into a bowl, picked up two vegetable dumplings in the basket and went out. He didn't feel sorry for his son, but he was obviously his son and he had to take care of him in his old age, so he couldn't let him starve.
Looking at her uncle's timid look, Da Ni rolled her eyes and went back to her room. She picked up the new clothes that Lu Song had brought to her on the bed, compared them to her body, with a shy smile on her lips. There was no rush now, and after the betrothal gift was given in two days, the marriage would be done.
A daughter's family's reputation is very important. His husband is a former soldier and will definitely not regret the engagement. The more Dani thought about it, the happier she became. Thinking about the table full of food she had just eaten, her heart felt as sweet as honey.
During the Chinese New Year, Lu Song sent a lot of meat and eggs, as well as canned malted milk.
She couldn't remember the last time she ate meat with such big mouthfuls. She thought that she was living like this all the time, and how could she be willing to do that? Besides, her whole family was on her side, so she should live a proper life on her own these days.
The old man carried the leftovers and unlocked the door of his daughter's room. After entering the room, he locked the door again and untied the ropes that tied up his children.
Except when they were untied for meals, Xiaoni and Xiaoming were tied up at other times. They ate first and were tied up again after they finished eating.
After the old man untied Xiao Ming's rope, he placed the food in front of him and said, "Xiao Ming, you must be hungry. Come and eat. There will be meat tonight."
Xiao Ming looked at his father and burst into tears, "Dad, Dad, please let me out. I don't want to stay with my sister anymore. She is a jinx, a money-loser, who always cheats me. Dad, wuwuwu..."
When Ming was a child, he was beaten a lot by his father, and he had never been close to him since childhood. But when he cried and called "Dad", he actually brought out some of his father's admiration for him.
Looking at Ming's expression, Ming scolded her, "Ming, you are such a heartless person. I have treated you so well since you were little. I always saved all the food and drinks for you. Yet you treat your sister like this."
"Is it me who wants to be fucked? It's because you are such a slut. If it weren't for you, would I have been locked up? It's all your fault. You deserve to be disliked. The whole family doesn't like you."
"You're also a little beast." Xiao Ni looked at Xiao Ming with tearful eyes.
Ming was overheard and hid behind his father.
"Dad, look at my mother, she's so fierce. I don't want to be with her. I want to go find my mom. I want to find my mom."
Seeing that Xiao Ni dared to scold her son, the old man went up and slapped her, "Shameless little bitch, you dare to scold your brother? I asked you to give that Lu Song to your elder sister, and you didn't give it up. How can the family control you?"
Da Ni cried and said to him, "Am I your daughter or is Da Ni your daughter? Will she be able to respect you in the future? You will still have to rely on me and Da Ming in the future. When I get married, you and my mother will be waiting to enjoy the happiness. When Da Ni gets married, it will be her parents who will be respected."
The old man hesitated for a moment, then remembered what his mother had said, that this girl, Ni, was cold-blooded and would not care about them in the future, so he told him not to be confused.
"You silly girl, you dare to lie to me. Your elder sister knows a lot. If she gets married, the whole family will enjoy the happiness. We can't count on you. It's good enough that you don't harm us. Humph, don't eat tonight. Go hungry."
The old man picked up the food on the table and walked to the door with Ming. He opened the lock and hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ming again.
Da Ming's eyes were fixed on the vegetable dumplings in his hand. He looked at his father, who was looking at him, and then smiled at him and said, "Dad, I'm very hungry. Give me a dumpling first."
After saying that, he used his sleeve to wipe the snot that was about to flow out of his nose.
Seeing that Ming was not going to run away, the old man felt relieved. He opened the door and took Ming back to his room. He did not dare to let the old woman see him. He actually wanted to be close to his son. Ming picked up the vegetable nest handed to him by the old man and gobbled it up.
"Dad, I will definitely listen to you in the future, woo woo..."
The old man gave Ming a rare smile, but he locked the door when he turned around.
It was as if he didn't see it.
At night, Ming slept with his mother. The three of them chatted for a while. Ming even held his grandma's hand when he went to sleep.
Midnight is the time to welcome the God of Wealth, and every household will set off firecrackers.
It was the dead of night in the cold winter, and of course the old man had to do this hard job. He looked at Ming sleeping soundly and holding his hand, and felt relieved in his heart, and raised his hand to touch Ming's head.
In the middle of the night, Xie Zhengchuan got up and went to the yard to set off firecrackers. Just as he lit them, he heard the sound of someone knocking on the door: "Third Aunt, Third Aunt, help me, Third Aunt, help me!"
Xie Zhengchuan quickly put down the firecrackers in his hand, opened the door and saw that it was Xiao Ming from his grandfather's house.
"What's wrong, Xiao Ming, come in quickly."
"Ah~ah~Uncle San, Uncle San, help me!" Ming cried loudly, and only when he looked at Xie Zhengchuan did he finally feel relieved.
He discussed it with his wife, and the two pretended to have a quarrel. Then he followed his husband out and ran out when there were fireworks in the middle of the night. He hit his leg when he climbed over the wall and it hurt terribly, but he was afraid of being caught by his husband, so he ran to the Xie family for his life.
Xie Zhengchuan supported Xiaoming and walked to the main room. His crying woke up Su Li as well.
She turned around and saw that the three children were still asleep. She slowly got up and walked to the main room. She looked at Ming who was holding a cup of hot water and talking to her.
"My sister wanted to snatch my sister's wedding, so the whole family teamed up to tie me and my sister up and lock us in the house. It's been nine days, and we haven't been able to go out yet..."
Su Li was shocked when she heard this, she remembered what Xie's mother said, that she didn't see Ni when she and Lu Song came to propose marriage, and Lu Song would go to propose marriage in a few days.
If the betrothal is announced and the matter becomes a big deal, Lu Song will have to marry her even if he doesn't want to. Being a hooligan is a serious crime these days, and he might end up having to eat peanuts.
Before Xie Zhengchuan could say anything, an old man's voice was heard outside.
"Zhengchuan, is Zhengchuan up yet? Has my Xiao Ming come to see you?"
When Ming heard the old man's voice, he was so startled that the cup in his hand fell to the ground.
Su Li saw a large mud stain on his pants.
"Xiao Ming, you hit your leg. Zhengchuan, go get him some shabby clothes to change into and apply some medicine. I'll go report back to the old man."
While Su Li was talking, the old man was still shouting,
"Big brother, your Xiao Ming didn't come to our house. What happened? Is the child missing? I need to wake up and help you look for him!"
The old man naturally didn't want anyone to help look for it, not to mention that Xie Zhengchuan was an old man in the bureau. "No, no, that kid is very naughty. He was about to set off a firecracker, but I didn't let him. He got angry and ran out. I'll look for it, you guys take a rest."
With that he walked away quickly.
Ming was unwilling to change his clothes, so Xie Zhengchuan had no choice but to help him apply medicine on his legs.
"Xiao Ming, don't be afraid. Your sister is definitely fine right now. You can rest in their room first. When your uncle goes to the police station tomorrow, call someone over. Call the village head and the secretary. Your sister is fine, don't worry."
"Thank you, Uncle San. Thank you, Uncle San."
Su Li went to the kitchen and took out a bowl of white-cut beef ramen from the space and brought it to Xiao Ming, "Xiao Ming, you must be hungry, eat some noodles first, don't worry, your sister is fine, your third uncle is here to take care of you, don't be afraid, it's too late now, wait a while, wait until tomorrow morning and shout all over the village, let everyone see what kind of people your parents, your aunt, uncle, your grandmother and your daughter are, so that even if your sister wants to take you away in the future, no one will gossip."
Ming cried and said, "Well, Aunt San, I understand. I will definitely let everyone know who they are tomorrow."
