The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. This time, no one was polite and they just broke down the door of the old Gu family and rushed in.
Old Mrs. He is still sewing her quilt.
Since the family split up, all of He Aiqing's money had been taken away, and she didn't even have a penny left. She couldn't even get some new cotton for her quilt.
A thin quilt covering my body is of no use at all. I have to put on more clothes every time before I can sleep.
The swaddling quilt that He Min was wrapped in was different. It must have two pounds of cotton in it. If it was taken apart and put into her quilt, it would be thicker.
But He Min was a tactless person and kept holding on to her swaddling blanket and refused to let go.
He's so small, I don't know where he gets so much strength from.
But who was she? Old Mrs. He. Her rough hands forcibly pried open He Min's clenched fists.
Thinking of this, Old Mrs. He was so happy that she started humming a song.
Swish~ A group of people rushed into her house.
Old Mrs. He looked at the people who rushed in and shouted anxiously, "What are you doing? You just bully me because my old man is not at home. Do you want to kill me so that you can keep my old man company in his old age?"
"Bah, Old Lady He, you're so good at doing things that are both shameless and outrageous. If you didn't always involve our Su family in everything, I wouldn't be happy to see your behavior. I'd want to poke my eyes out when I see it.
I ask you, why did you abandon the child at my doorstep again? This is your own granddaughter, not a stray cat or dog on the street. Do you have any heart? You even stripped her of her swaddling clothes and made her wear a piece of rags you didn't want. Do you want her to never see the sun tomorrow?
Old Mrs. He didn't think so much. She just knew that she was too cold to sleep at night.
In the past, I wouldn't have had to fight with a little kid for these things.
But...her children...the more I think about it, the sadder I feel.
Since Gu's mother returned to the mine, the family's food quality has dropped sharply.
Every day I rely on the few work points I and the old man earn to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, and I have lost a lot of weight.
He Aiqing only cared about the Gu family all day long, and she probably forgot about her mother a long time ago.
He Aihua would occasionally send back a few words, but they were all asking Old Mrs. He to send money, as the couple's savings were almost empty.
Old Mrs. He was stubborn and insisted, "Why would a little girl need a swaddle? She could have just been tucked in bed. Besides, I don't know when she left. I put her on the bed, and when I went to the bathroom, she disappeared. I was thinking of asking the village chief to call someone to help me look for her."
"Wow, she's really capable! In the time it takes to go to the toilet, she can walk to the end of the village like a baby. Are you working on iron? You must have started working at noon!"
Old Mrs. He couldn't argue with him, so she just turned her head away.
When Su's mother saw the familiar cloth next to Old Lady He, she gave a look and Wen Li rushed over.
But the thick swaddling blanket had been torn to pieces.
"What is this? Where's the cotton inside? Has it grown legs and run away?"
Old Mrs. He stammered and lowered her head, "I don't know." As long as she said she didn't know, the village chief and the Su family would not be able to make any trouble.
"You don't know? I think you know too much. All you do every day is scheme and calculate."
Old Lady He opened her mouth and started howling, "I'm an old woman who's almost half buried in the ground. I can't even support myself, and you want me to support her. Are her parents all dead? Don't force me, believe it or not, I'll hit my head and die in front of you."
"Hit her, hit her now. Qian Fan, wherever she's going to hit you, hammer her in. Make sure she dies completely, so she doesn't have to be half-dead and be a pain in the ass."
Su's mother was not one to be bullied, so she stuffed He Min into her bed.
"This is your He family's business. You can make a fuss all you want. I won't be bothered by it. But don't even think about bringing our Su family into this. We have no connection at all. Do you think this is appropriate?"
Old Mrs. He murmured softly, "Why is it inappropriate? After all, Su Qing was my daughter-in-law before."
Now it was Cheng Fangyi's turn to be in trouble. He picked up a tuk-tuk from the ground and threw it onto the bed, hitting Old Lady He's forehead accurately.
Clods of dirt scattered and fell on the quilt that Old Lady He had just cleaned.
"I advise you to think twice before you speak. Su Qing is my wife now, not someone you can point fingers at. As long as it's about my wife, I have no principles or morals. I won't care whether you are an old man in your seventies or eighties, or a child of one or two years old. I will hit you without hesitation."
Old Mrs. He originally wanted to compare their relationships, after all, they were once mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but Cheng Fangyi's words made her give up the idea.
She turned her gaze to the children again.
"Daya, you're a good child. You definitely can't bear to see your grandmother, at her age, working in the fields with a little kid. Just take her home with you. Just give her something to eat every day. Just make sure she doesn't starve to death."
Daya was a little afraid of Old Lady He and hid behind Cheng Fangyi.
When Old Mrs. He met Cheng Fangyi's ferocious eyes, she swallowed the words back.
The village chief saw that Old Lady He had also accepted the child and said, "Let's go, let's go. If the He family dares to abandon their children again, they will be driven out of Water Village."
Before leaving, Cheng Fangyi gave another warning, "It's not just my wife, but also my children and the people of the Su family. If you bully them even a little, I will make it ten times more difficult for you to do so from your family."
After everyone had left, He Min was still blinking at her.
She argued with the villagers twice a day about He Min's affairs, and Old Mrs. He was a little tired.
"What are you looking at? Go to sleep."
But after a while, He Min started crying loudly, and her little face turned red.
