At this time, Black Bean did not allow Li Yannian to speak.
He looked straight into Zhang Yaomei’s eyes and answered clearly, “Mother and Father left half a year ago. The village was flooded. Father and Mother went to the fields to snatch the food, and the moment they weren’t careful they would teach the Great Water to wash away the food. ”
Tears that had been held back in Zhang Yaomei’s eyes immediately rolled down. She was angry and resentful, but it was unknown who she was speaking to.
“I told her not to marry, and not to listen to my mother’s words! “I’ve followed such a short-lived bastard and didn’t get to enjoy any good fortune. It’s so early …”
Hearing Zhang Yaomei call Li Hongshan a short-lived ghost, Black Bean and Mao Dou immediately revealed an extremely dissatisfied expression. She had actually broken free from Li Yannian and rushed in front of him. Waving her small hands, she wanted to hit Zhang Yaomei, but she kept yelling, “Don’t you scold my father, my father is not a short-lived ghost! I don’t want my grandmother anymore, I don’t want my grandmother! ”
The daughter-in-law by the side was shocked. Only the younger children didn’t know what the adults were so anxious for, and even giggled with their eyes wide open.
On the other hand, Zhang Yaomei grabbed onto Mao Dou’s hands first as she hugged her tightly with tears all over her face.
“Grandmother was wrong. Grandmother won’t scold your father in the future.” “Oh, Mao Dou, I’m your grandma. How can you say you don’t want me anymore?”
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Xu Zhangshu who had been silent the entire time suddenly stood up and walked towards the two siblings. He first looked at Black Bean, then patted his head. The juniors of the Zhang Clan immediately understood what was going on. It could be said that their parents had said that they wanted to reunite with the children of the Third Mother.
Relying on the fact that his original body was young, it wasn’t shameful for Li Yannian to act cute. He raised his head, blinked his big eyes, and carefully tested the man who looked like his grandfather: “Grandfather?”
Xu Zhangshu nodded his head, it took a lot of effort to resist the urge to hug his granddaughter high up.
No wonder. Ever since he had married into the Zhang Family, his wife had always blamed him for not being able to give birth to a girl.
Zhang Yaomei was the sixth, with five other brothers. She had been spoiled like a treasure by her parents and five older brothers since she was young. Her family couldn’t bear for her to get married, so she adopted Xu Zhangshu, a peerless family who had no parents or any parents, as her family. In the end, she was the same as her mother. The children were born one after another, but other than the Zhang Sanniang’s daughter, the rest were all sons. What was even more infuriating was that the four daughter-in-law that she had married were all sons.
As a result, Xu Zhangshu who had experienced the taste of being surrounded by a bunch of noisy and smelly grandsons, looked at his granddaughter who seemed to have been carved out of the same mold as San Niang. He didn’t even need Li Yannian to say anything as his heart had already turned into mush.
Zhang Yaomei turned her head to look at her husband’s movements, how could she not understand what was going on. The corner of her mouth couldn’t help but curl up, and her eyes were filled with warmth.
Xu Zhangshu also noticed his gaze and turned around to look at his wife. Seeing her squatting down to coax Mao Dou, afraid that she would waste his time, he pulled up a chair and gestured for her to sit down. Zhang Yaomei’s legs were already numb, but he was still an old man, so he took the chance to support the chair and sit down. He did not forget to pick up Mao Dou and place him on his knees, he patted his back and continued to make fun of him, yet he did not spare anyone.
“As grandmothers, I don’t want to curse your fathers in front of you kids. It’s just that your dad’s actions are too scoundrelly, making people hate him!”
“You guys have just arrived today, so you didn’t want to go back to those bad debts from back then. However, there were some words that were not very clear, and there was always a knot in his heart. In case you say something wrong and everyone feels unhappy, you three siblings better listen up. Our Zhang family is different from others. Our son is grass and our daughter is treasure. Other people look forward to see their son so much that their eyes almost fell out of their windows. Our family has always wanted our daughter to be crazy ever since the Grand Matriarch’s generation, even to the point of dreaming! As for your grandfather, he was the husband that your great-aunt found for me. He had five children in total, and your mother was the only daughter. “Originally, I wanted your mother to be like me and have a husband …”
“In the end, the result is that the person is not as good as he is. One mistake and he was not able to stop himself from being coaxed away by your father.”
With that said, Zhang Family’s face turned ugly. The village had always hated people with the surname Li. In the end, their family’s most treasured daughter/sister was kidnapped by a poor boy with the surname Li.
Zhang Yaomei sighed, thinking about what happened all those years ago, and said with a helpless tone, “It’s not that your father is poor, but that the couple is willing to live a good life. Even if we, the two elders, help each other out, we would still have hope. But what kind of life did your mother have in your grandma’s house? That was a place that ate people without spitting out their bones! The parents-in-law is biased, the sister-in-law cheats and cheats, as the husband only cares about the filial piety, even own wife can’t protect! That is the girl that I loved and grew up with since I was young. I am too afraid of her when I am in my mouth. I hold her in my hands for fear of falling off. I don’t even want to say a few harsh words to her. “In the end, before she even married into your Li Clan for half a year, she had already been disgraced to the point of losing her smile.”
“As long as your mother can muster up some energy, your father would be willing to extend a hand to protect her. It’s also unlikely that your mother would be forced to the point where she almost couldn’t bear the child!”
“Sigh, I won’t bring up the rest of this matter. Your mother came to me that year with red beans in her arms. If I had been more ruthless and forced your father to write a marriage letter, your mother would have been perfectly fine in front of me. It has been so many years, but why do we have to be so stubborn? “If there was someone willing to give in and the two families still moved around, it’s not like I didn’t know that my daughter died half a year ago …”
Zhang Yaomei was extremely regretful at the moment, and started to cry while wiping her tears. Xia Taohua looked at his mother-in-law’s sorrowful expression, and immediately gave a few of his sister-in-law’s eyes a look. The group of people surrounded her to try and persuade her, but were unable to do so.
Fortunately, Xu Zhangshu understood his old wife, and only said one sentence in a low voice: “Don’t be in such a rush to cry, our daughter will definitely cause trouble for her own family!”
Zhang Yaomei immediately stopped her tears, “Yes, such a big thing happened, there wasn’t even someone who came to report it. Since our daughter has suffered so much after marrying into their family, when have we ever had a quarrel with them? No matter how much they dislike Sanniang, she is still the daughter of my Zhang family. There is no such logic in the world! ”
At this time, Li Yannian weakly reminded her, “Grandmother, when father and mother went back that year, they split up with my grandfather and mother …”
Black Bean added on, “It’s that Red Bean that got sick when he was three years old. Grandma wanted my father, mother, and the year Li. After returning home, a few days later, my father went to find my uncle and talked about the matter of the branch family. Your grandpa probably won’t be able to save face. Although I agreed to my uncle’s words, I didn’t give him anything and kicked our family out. ”
Zhang Yaomei was obviously stunned, the Zhang family’s uncles and aunties also had a face full of shock.
Black Bean looked hesitant: “Grandma, my mother had people deliver the things to you a few times, but you threw them out.”
Zhang Family’s face instantly changed, even the stern Xu Zhangshu was defeated.
Zhang Yaomei immediately exclaimed: “How is that possible?! Your family has never seen anyone from Li Village before, and they even said that they gave us something to throw out?! Whose family did you come from to deliver these? ”
Black Bean shook his head, he had coincidentally heard this matter when his mother was secretly talking to his father, and knew that there was such a thing, but he did not know who exactly was asked to deliver the message to the two families.
As for Li Yannian and Mao Dou, one was still young at the time and the other was not even born yet, so they had no idea.
At this time, First Aunt Xia Taohua gently asked Black Bean: “Aunt, may I ask, did your uncle and third uncle follow the branch family out as well?”
Black Bean nodded his head: “I think they did, but I didn’t notice when they did.”
Xia Taohua laughed gently: “Then it’s not wrong. As parents, they all liked to live in a lively family and would never let their brothers get separated from them. At that time, the young concubine and the young master split up in an unsightly manner. The brothers, one after the other, split up and went out. It was difficult to protect their family and put the blame on the young concubine and the young master. Thus, it is very likely that the reason why they intentionally stopped the news is because of their own family. This way, our sister-in-law and her family would completely fall out, and without the help of our family, we can make them suffer and taste the bitterness of being separated. ”
Hearing her words, Zhang Yaomei could not help but start to wonder if his eldest son’s family had the same thoughts as her, but looking at the eldest son’s wife’s calm face, it did not seem like it.
Zhang Bao Duo looked at his mother’s expression and immediately followed up, “Mother, the Lee family is too much of a bully. If this is really them doing it, it means they are the enemy that caused our bones and flesh to be separated!” “We’re not done with the Li family. If we don’t get this out, where is our Zhang family’s face?”
Xia Taohua looked at her husband, and continued to speak in that soft voice, “I was only guessing, and I may not be accurate.”
Xu Zhangshu’s face was ashen as he said sullenly: “No matter if it’s true or not, when the first month is over, ask me for an explanation.”
All of his sons nodded their heads in agreement.
When Zhang Yaomei thought about how she had been at loggerheads with his daughter for so many years, only to end up being instigated by someone else in the end, pitiful her precious daughter who died without knowing why, her heart immediately felt tight. She lowered her head to take a look. It turned out that Mao Dou was no longer able to bear the conversation of the adults and was once again exhausted from the journey. She had long fallen into a deep sleep.
Li Yannian wanted to go up and pull the beans over, but she shook his head at her, and then picked her up and gave her to Xu Zhangshu.
Xu Zhangshu nodded his head, holding onto Mao Dou’s arm, he walked towards the side of the room.
With this interruption, Zhang Yaomei calmed herself down and paid attention to the two siblings’ clothing. Especially when she saw the shoes on their feet, she could not help but frown.
