My boss is too weak to take care of himself

Chapter 125 Meeting

"Who is Chen Muzhi?" The villagers in the neighboring village who didn't know the truth began to ask.

Someone explained to him: "She is Xi Dian's daughter-in-law, she ran away with a man many years ago, why is she back now?"

Xi Shuang listened to those words, and heard people from this village say: "Why did you run away? It's normal for the couple to divorce. Why do you speak so badly?"

Someone asked Xi Shuang a question. Not far away, Xi Mo was swearing, and the villagers next to him were trying to persuade them to quarrel, and they were also noisy.

At the end, she couldn't hear any words, Ye Xia hugged her in his arms, desperately protecting her.

She looked up at Ye Xia weakly, and saw the bulging veins on Ye Xia's neck, someone pushed Xi Shuang in the confusion, Xi Shuang staggered forward a few steps, and bumped into Ye Xia's arms.

In an instant, she felt dizzy and dizzy, her whole body was exhausted, her heart hurt sharply, and she lay softly in Ye Xia's arms, and all the voices gradually moved away from her ears.

She heard Ye Xia calling her name, she smiled wryly, Ye Xia's voice became farther and farther away, until finally she couldn't hear it at all.

Xi Shuang was lying on the bed with a low fever. Ye Xia gave her medicine, but there was still noise outside.

After the bastard Xi Mo got into trouble, he was beaten by Lin Yuefan and Shen Nan a few times, but seeing that no one helped him, he found an opportunity to escape.

But the farce didn't end so easily, and everyone's attention was on Chen Mushi who suddenly appeared and returned here.

After Xi Shuang passed out, Ye Xia took her back to the room. Tang Ying and Fang Liyan accompanied Chen Mushi and locked them in the room, ignoring the people outside who were asking questions.

Lin Yuefan and Shen Nan comforted those people in the yard.

Ye Xia held Xi Shuang's hand, pressed it against her forehead, and sighed deeply.

Shen Nan opened the door and came in, Ye Xia looked up at him wearily.

"Do you want to call the police?" Shen Nan asked.

Ye Xia felt tired. After thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "At present, our funds should be enough to settle the arrears, right?"

There was a moment of shock in Shen Nan's eyes, but he was quickly replaced by relief, and said in a low voice: "It is certainly enough to settle the arrears, but the subsequent rectification of the vineyard and pepper garden expenses will be gone, as well as the workers' commissions, too... ..."

"I'll find another way to do this. You go and settle the debt. Then tell them to leave quickly." Ye Xia put down Xi Shuang's hand, pinched the bridge of her nose, and said in a low voice.

Shen Nan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll deal with it."

Just as Shen Nan was about to turn around and leave, Lin Yuefan rushed in and said urgently, "Yezi, Grandma Xishuang is here."

Ye Xia's eyes froze, she looked at Shen Nan, and said, "Take people to the wound-up room in the village, don't let them stay here."

"I'll go with you," Lin Yuefan said.

Ye Xia nodded, and suddenly called Shen Nan again, saying, "Call Xi Dian and ask him to come to the base."

Shen Nan and Lin Yuefan glanced at each other, both of them were worried, but there was no way, since the matter had already been revealed, Xi Dian should also come.

Lin Yuefan and Shen Nan left the room, Ye Xia stared at Xi Shuang for a while, stood up firmly, and walked out.

When Ye Xia went out, she saw her grandma surrounded by several villagers. When she was talking to her, those people said to each other. Ye Xia looked at her grandma, and felt that she seemed to have aged a few years in an instant, and even staggered when she walked.

Lin Yuefan and Shen Nan greeted the crowd and said they wanted to settle the debts. When those people heard that they wanted to settle the money, no gossip was important, and they followed Lin Yuefan and Shen Nan out of the base.

After a group of people left, the base became quiet in an instant, and Ye Xia walked over to support grandma.

Grandma is a skinny little old lady. In fact, she is not very tall. It may be that she was hale and hearty before, which gave Ye Xia the illusion that she is very tall.

When supporting her, Ye Xia felt grandma's palms were dry, she was really old.

"Yuyou, she..." Grandma's voice was choked with sobs, but she still tried her best not to collapse.

"Grandma, she's fine, but she didn't sleep well last night." Ye Xia gently led grandma into the room.

Seeing Xi Shuang sleeping on the bed with a pale face, grandma whimpered and wiped away her tears.

Grandma sat by the bed, reaching out to touch Xi Shuang's face, while Ye Xia stood aside, feeling quite uncomfortable.

At this moment, Xi Shuang frowned and coughed, and opened his eyes.

"Yuyou..." Grandma rushed forward.

Seeing grandma, Xi Shuang was stunned at first, and then slowly realized that tears gathered in her eyes instantly.

Ye Xia walked out lightly and closed the door gently.

The people outside had already left, and Tang Ying also opened the door and poked her head out of the room.

Ye Xia stood in the corridor and lit a cigarette, then looked back at Tang Ying silently.

"Everyone is gone?" Tang Ying asked in a low voice.

Ye Xia nodded, Tang Ying pulled Fang Liyan out of the room, and Chen Muzhi followed him out in a daze.

"Where's Yoyo?" Chen Muzhi looked at Ye Xia and asked.

Ye Xia paused, looked towards her room, and then said, "She's inside."

Chen Muzhi walked towards Ye Xia's room, and Ye Xia said again, "Grandma is here."

Chen Muzhi's footsteps stopped instantly, but with only a moment of hesitation, she pushed open the door with determination.

"Let's go for a walk." Ye Xia looked at Tang Ying and Fang Liyan and said.

In order not to disturb them, the three left the base intimately and walked along the main road.

Ye Xia's room was dark with the curtains drawn. When Chen Mushi walked in, grandma was holding Xi Shuang and sobbing.

When Chen Mushi saw grandma's silver-white hair, he stood inside the door, unable to move any more.

"Aunt..." It was Xi Shuang who saw Chen Muzhi first and called her.

Grandma turned her head and looked at Chen Muzhi.

With four eyes facing each other, Chen Muzhi's tears could no longer be held back, and he swiped down.

Grandma's old face is also full of tears.

"Mom..." Chen Muzhi shouted, trembling.

Before walking into this door, Chen Muzhi's mind flashed a thousand thoughts. She told herself silently that no matter what her mother-in-law's attitude towards her was, she was willing to bear it.

Maybe the mother-in-law would yell at her and tell her to go away, maybe she wouldn't even give her a look.

But what she didn't expect was that apart from grief, there was love on grandma's face. She waved to her and said, "Come and sit down."

Chen Muzhi sat down on the bed obediently, but he didn't dare to look up at grandma.

Grandma held Xishuang's hand tightly, looked at Chen Muzhi, and said in a low voice, "Minglan, you have suffered."

Ming Lan is Chen Muzhi's nickname. After she married Xi Dian, few people called her that. In my impression, only grandma often called her that.

When I go out to do farm work, grandma will call her, Minglan, take a rest.At home, grandma would call, Minglan, come over for dinner.

Minglan, Minglan, being called that again, made Chen Muzhi feel as if he had passed away.
