When He's mother heard what Yu Wan said and saw Yu Wan about to leave, she was afraid that Yu Wan would cause trouble for the neighbors next door.
After all, they had just arrived in the village and were unfamiliar with the place, so there was no need to conflict with their neighbors.
Yu Wan saw the worry in He's mother's eyes, patted the back of her hand and said to her.
"Mom, it's okay. I'll go find Dad and Huaishu and come back. Nothing will happen."
After saying this, Yu Wan walked outside.
Just as she reached the gate of the yard, she saw He Huaishi limping in. Yu Wan looked at He Huaishi and said to her.
"Something happened at home. Stay home and stay with mom. I'm going out for a while."
After saying this, without waiting for He Huaishi to react, he turned around and walked towards the door.
He Huaishi looked at Yu Wan's back, still confused, not knowing what had happened at all.
When I entered the room, I saw the dust on He's mother's body and her pale face sitting in the seat.
He quickly walked forward, stood beside He's mother, and walked around her. Seeing that He's mother was not injured, He Huaishi breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Mom, what happened?"
At this time, He's mother pulled He Huaishi's hand with an anxious look on her face and spoke to her urgently.
“Huai Shi, go and join your sister-in-law and follow her.
She went out alone, and I was afraid something might happen to her."
Hearing this, a hint of hesitation flashed through He Huaishi's mind.
"But mom, you're here alone,"
“It’s okay, go ahead.
Your sister-in-law said she went to see the village chief."
Hearing this, He Huaishi gritted his teeth and followed Yu Wan out.
It was at this time that Zhao Dafu returned.
When he came back, he saw his son happily eating an egg in his left hand and another in his right hand.
Zhao Dafu looked at his son like this and said with some curiosity.
"Mom, you cooked eggs for him again. Aren't all the eggs at home eaten? Where did you buy them from?"
Zhao Dafu has become accustomed to his mother giving her son some special treatment from time to time.
Never mind, he only has this one son, and he can still afford to raise him by letting him eat some eggs. As long as he doesn't ask for meat, it's better than anything else.
At this time, Grandma Zhao saw her son coming back, and immediately took his hand and said.
"Where have you been, kid? Why are you back just now?
I've been waiting for you for a long time, come, come, come with me to the next door!"
Hearing this, Zhao Dafu looked at Grandma Zhao in confusion.
"Next door? What are you going to do next door?"
“You don’t know how much the family next door eats.
There was a whole jar full of rice, and a whole cabinet full of flour.
Not to mention other millet and coarse grains.
The family can’t finish it, so we’ll go get some to cook rice for my grandson.”
Hearing this, Zhao Dafu was stunned at first, but then he quickly reacted. He grabbed Grandma Zhao's sleeve with a serious face and said to her.
"Mom, don't tell me you went to cause trouble next door today!"
Zhao Dafu is more clear-headed than Grandma Zhao.
He heard from the village chief that the new family who moved in next door were powerful and were only staying with them for a while, so they must not offend them.
When Grandma Zhao heard what Zhao Dafu said, she rolled her eyes at him and said.
"You've already come to our village, what kind of background can you have? Look at how timid you are.
Come with me quickly to get some rice, flour and oil to help Youqian improve his meals.
My family has suffered a lot despite having money, and we haven’t had a full meal for a long time.”
Hearing this, Zhao Dafu rarely adjusted his tone and spoke to Grandma Zhao.
“Mom, you usually don’t say anything because you are used to having money.
But you can't cause trouble for the neighbors. I don't agree.
I won’t go, and neither can you.”
Hearing this, Grandma Zhao snorted coldly.
“You coward, what’s there to be afraid of next door?
Today I brought back a dozen eggs from next door.
The family next door is just as small as them, and they don't even have children. How can they have the nerve to eat so many eggs?"
Hearing this, Zhao Dafu's eyes went dark and he looked directly at the egg in Zhao Youqian's hand and exclaimed in surprise.
"Mom, do you mean, this egg is from next door?"
Hearing this, Grandma Zhao nodded proudly and said.
“Of course, all the eggs at home are gone.
Luckily I went next door today, otherwise I wouldn’t have known they had hidden so many eggs.”
"You are committing a crime, don't you know that?
If the neighbors get angry, they can call the police and have you arrested."
Hearing what Zhao Dafu said, Grandma Zhao was not afraid at all.
“I’m old, what’s the point of calling the police to arrest me?
Besides, I've never seen anyone call the police just for a few eggs."
Zhao Dafu couldn't explain it clearly to his mother, so he could only grit his teeth, turn around, walk out the door, and go next door.
Grandma Zhao watched Zhao Dafu walk next door and thought that her son had finally thought it through and was moving things next door.
He quickly followed behind his son, still muttering to himself.
"Look at what I'm saying, it wouldn't be a big deal if we went next door and brought back some food.
We are all neighbors, and it is natural for us to help each other."
After He Huaishi and Yu Wan left, He's mother locked the door of her house immediately.
She was home alone and was afraid that the old lady next door would come and cause trouble again.
