Wang's little lady

Chapter 25
Xie's items were sold faster today than in previous days.

Braised food has conquered many people. The price is not very high, the portion is generous, and most importantly, it is meaty.

The jelly also attracted a large number of customers.

Several regular customers have already ordered jelly and will come to pick it up tomorrow.

But the peas still have to be collected and ground, which takes a lot of time.

How could Mrs. Xie and Mr. Zhang have any time to rest?

After delivering the things left to Li Zheng, I wanted to go harvest peas while it was still early.

Also make a reservation for the pig launcher you need tomorrow.

"Dou, I'll take you and Xiaoya to collect the peas, while your mother and Brother Tuan will take care of them at home."

There are many secrets in the family now, so we have to keep people around.

The three of them drove the rented ox cart all the way to Xinghua Village.

"Grandma, do you know anyone in Xinghua Village?"

This village is not the closest to the town. If there is no special reason, why did grandma choose this village alone?

There is no way other villages don’t have peas.

Xiaoya was bored sitting on the bullock cart. After hearing Hongdou's words, she also turned her curious eyes to Granny Xie.

Granny Xie thought that her granddaughter was now older and could even do a lot more than her, so there was nothing bad to say.

"Xinghua Village is the village where my sister, your aunt, was married. Your grandfather left early, leaving me and your father orphaned and widowed."

"Can you not be bullied?"

"My temper was also developed at that time. But I am a woman without skills. It is too difficult to raise a child of just a few years old."

"My mother-in-law is also cruel. Thanks to your aunt, she comes to help from time to time and brings some food. Sometimes she even brings her son."

For this reason, my sister was often criticized by her husband's family.

After all, how can a married girl often use things from her husband’s family to support her younger sister?

Especially this sister is still a widow, Kefu.

Ominous.

Thinking of this, Granny Xie couldn't help but sigh.

If her sister hadn't insisted on helping her, she and her son might not have been able to figure out what would have happened.

No wonder Hongdou saw her grandma secretly leaving a portion of braised meat and jelly, which turned out to be for her aunt.

But in the memory of the original owner, he really had no impression of the aunt mentioned by grandma.

"Grandma, how old is my aunt now? Why have I never seen her before?"

It was originally a normal question, but when Mrs. Xie heard Hongdou's words, she suddenly became depressed.

Hongdou didn't know what she said wrongly, and looked at Xiaoya with a slight uneasiness on her face.

"Grandma, did I say something wrong?"

Mrs. Xie didn't want her granddaughter to misunderstand, so she adjusted her mood and sighed deeply before saying:
"Your aunt died a long time ago. Your father was only in his early ten years at that time."

Anko understood.

People who have helped me unconditionally in difficult times have never had the chance to repay them before they could repay them.

The reason why regret is regret is that it is often impossible to make up for it.

"Grandma, where is my cousin?"

Mrs. Xie was in a much better mood at this time and could continue to tell the story of the past.

"Not long after your aunt passed away, her man remarried. Your cousin is not allowed to go around with us, and his family... I am not allowed to visit your cousin."

She knew that they were afraid that she would come to visit them.

In addition, she and her son lived a very tight life, and they were afraid of making things difficult for her nephew, so they gradually stopped interacting with each other.

Later, when the son got older and became more flexible, he poured some goods to sell, and the two moved to the town.

Along the way, she asked people to secretly send messages to her nephew several times, but she never got a reply.

Does the nephew blame her?
If her sister hadn't insisted on helping her, her husband's family might have been kinder to her and her life would have been easier.

After listening to this, Hongdou felt a little sad in her heart. Why don't good people get rewarded?

The father married another man not long after his wife died, without caring about his grown-up son.

Now that there is a stepmother, there is also a stepfather, and the life of the cousin at home must not be easy.

No wonder grandma has to travel farther to collect peas. Is she taking the opportunity to see her cousin?
"Grandma, as for grandpa's relatives, I don't seem to have seen them."

Mrs. Xie unexpectedly heard her granddaughter asking about the people from her husband's family, with a look of disgust in her eyes.

"Dead." Hongdou:. . .It's my fault that I don't have the eyesight to see.

Xiaoya:. . .Just know.

. . .

Xinghua Village.

At this time, many farmers were busy in the fields. Mrs. Xie was afraid that her nephew would move, so she found a kind-looking aunt to inquire about the news.

"Sister, do you know where Sun Youtian's family lives?"

Aunt Heshan saw the bullock cart all the way away, and at first she thought someone's family had gotten rich, but it turned out it wasn't from the village.

"What do you want to do with Sun Youtian?"

"I'm a distant relative of his. I haven't seen him for a long time. Come here and see. Can you show me the way?"

Aunt Heshan muttered a little, it was really rare that there were relatives coming to see Sun Youtian.

But it didn't take much effort to lead the way, she took the person directly there.

"Sun Youtian lives at the end of the village. Just follow this road to the end."

"No, that's the place, go there by yourself."

Aunt Heshan left without looking back after leading the way, not giving Hongdou and the others a chance to inquire.

Granny Xie looked at the thatched house not far away and felt uncomfortable.

This place is next to a mountain and so remote. How can anyone live there?

"Grandma, let's go there." Hongdou reminded softly.

At this time, Sun Youtian was knitting a backpack in the fence yard.

The backpack I usually use at home is broken and I can’t use it for work.

I just finished compiling a new one and was about to get up and go back to the house when I saw three people standing outside the yard.

Sun Youtian was stunned when he saw the vaguely familiar figure.

"Arita."

"aunt?"

Inside the house, Sun Youtian's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhao, mixed the remaining candy bars with water and distributed them to Hongdou and the other three.

Then he took his daughter to the kitchen to prepare meals.

Mrs. Xie looked at her nephew and couldn't help but feel sore in her eyes: "What's wrong with your legs? Wasn't it good before?"

Sun Youtian put his hand on his right leg and said calmly: "I fell and injured myself when I went hunting in the mountains."

"Didn't you see the doctor?"

"I saw Dr. Yu."

"What's wrong with a wandering doctor? You should go to the town to find a serious doctor."

Sun Youtian leaned his head and refused to answer.

The doctors in town are too expensive.

Seeing her nephew's appearance, she thought of the harsh treatment the Sun family had given her sister in the past, and there was something that Mrs. Xie didn't understand.

"Is your father so cruel? You are his eldest son."

Hearing Granny Xie's sudden and loud questioning, Sun Youtian felt uncomfortable, but that was his father, and he couldn't be unfilial.

Sun Youtian shook his head resignedly: "Aunt, forget it. There is no extra money at home."

When Mrs. Zhao in the kitchen heard what the head of the house said, she couldn't help crying in aggrievedness.

The little daughter Juhua on the side is very impatient. She has long been dissatisfied with her grandfather's favoritism.

Now that someone is here at home and her father talks about these things, how can she bear it?

"Dad lied. Grandpa has money in his hands."

Sun Youtian didn't expect that his daughter would suddenly come over and interrupt, so he quickly scolded her to avoid being rude.

Mrs. Zhao also came from the kitchen and wanted to take her daughter away.

But the resentment in Juhua's heart has long been filled. Once she opens her mouth, there is no way she can take it back.

"Obviously, grandpa is partial. In order to support my brother-in-law's education, he would rather let his leg break than send him to the town to see a doctor."

"Dad's legs were delayed due to force."

"They even kicked our family out."

　Ahhhhh, a new month has begun.
