The Stepmother is Unkind - Chapter 126

Going south again, the boat was slower than when it came back, and much faster than when Yin Mingyu first went.

Occasionally the boat would stop at the pier for shopping. Usually, Yin Mingyu was obsessed with where he was, and Xie Qin would order someone to stop there. After a short period of free time, the group would get off the boat and go around.

At that time, Yin Mingyu was Xie Qin’s guide.

Xie Qin enjoyed walking the road she had walked together and seeing the scenery she had seen, and even looked forward to the days when Xie Ce grew up and his ambitions were basically realized.

At that time, Xie Ce had taken over the Xie family, and the couple ignored the harassment and set foot on the land of Daye together. When they were old, they returned to Yangzhou to spend the rest of their lives.

But now that he arrived in Yangzhou, Xie Qin first encountered difficulties – Mrs. Xie wanted to extend her footprints to Lingnan in her twilight years.

Mrs. Xie had already packed everything up, and she was waiting for them to go to work and pass through Yangzhou, so she could board the ship with them.

I was so impatient that I actually received a letter from everyone arriving at the old house, so I walked out to greet them. As soon as I met everyone in the courtyard, I took the initiative to inform them, and then urged: “Dalang, you are on duty, you must not delay, Yangzhou. I’ve made arrangements, let’s go as soon as possible.”

Xie Qin looked at the luggage carried by the servants, and then thought of the carriage outside the house, “…”

No wonder there was a carriage waiting, and he sent someone back to the old house in advance to inform the old lady.

Ye Daru and Ye Xiaolangjun came to see Mrs. Xie together. They were a little surprised, but it was not easy to get involved, so they just stood silently aside.

Yin Mingyu was not surprised, glanced at the sunlight under his feet, took a step into the corridor silently, and then pointed to the pavilion not far away and said, “Why don’t you sit down and talk?”

Xie Qin glanced at the thin sweat on Mrs. Xie’s forehead, and immediately walked to the pavilion with Mrs. Xie’s hand.

Xie Ce was the happiest when she heard that her great-grandmother said she was going to South Vietnam. Dian Dian’er followed, walking on the other side of Mrs. Xie, tilting her head and asking happily, “Great-grandmother, are you really going?”

Mrs. Xie didn’t care about her grandson’s face at all, and said with a smile: “Yes, Ce’er is reunited with her great-grandmother, are you happy?”

Xie Ce nodded without hesitation, “Happy!”

Xie Qin was helpless, “Grandma…”

Madam Xie ignored him, raised her hand and said to Madam Chang, “Go look at people and put all our salutes on the carriage as soon as possible.”

“Grandmother.” Xie Qin helped Mrs. Xie to sit down and persuaded her face-to-face seriously, “Lingnan has high mountains and rivers, and the environment is really different from Yangzhou. , my grandson regrets it too much.”

Mrs. Xie retorted: “The last time Erniang and Ce’er said that, the winter is warm, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, there are fresh vegetables and fruits all year round, and the folk customs are simple…”

That’s all, the folk customs are simple… Xie Qin looked at the two who started it.

Xie Ce said honestly, “Yes.”

Yin Mingyu averted his eyes from looking at him, shook the fan lightly, and sat down in a well-ventilated place to enjoy the coolness.

Xie Qin had no choice but to persuade Mrs. Xie, “Grandma…”

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Mrs. Xie raised her hand and interrupted: “I have a strong body. Besides, I don’t regret it. What do you regret? Besides, do you have the patience for me to stay in the old house alone as an old man?”

The old lady’s face was flushed, and there was no trace of loneliness.

Xie Qin: “…Grandmother, the last time I saw you, my grandson didn’t expose it.”

Mrs. Xie was half-conscious, and she knocked on the ground with crutches confidently, and said decisively: “What if you expose it? I live so old, what have I never seen? If I want to go, no matter how much you persuade me, I can get there.”

Xie Qin was speechless.

On the side, the auntie’s eyes were full of eagerness to try, but she tightly pursed her mouth to suppress the urge to speak, for fear that the wrong words would affect the old lady’s performance.

Yin Mingyu smiled and kept fanning, saying, “Langjun, the most important thing is that the old lady is happy. Let’s take care of it with all our heart, so why worry about nothing.”

When Mrs. Xie heard her words, she even smiled and rolled her eyes, “It’s our second mother who is knowledgeable and interesting, and I love it the most.”

Yin Mingyu laughed, but coaxed sweetly in his mouth: “My grandson also thinks that you are the most sensual, and both grandson and Xiao Lang are happy to play with you, unlike Lang Jun, who is extremely rigid.”

Mrs. Xie echoed: “Their father and son followed the late grandfather, which was a disappointment. Fortunately, our son has a lively temperament.”

Xie Ce showed a more endearing smile, and taught Mrs. Xie to look at it and smiled more and more kindly.

And the auntie looked at the old lady’s kind-hearted look now, and muttered in her heart: The old lady was not like this in the past. She said that her brother and nephew all followed her father, and her father was wronged.

But the old father under Jiuquan couldn’t argue, and she was rarely clever, knowing that if she didn’t want to be thrown into Yangzhou by the old lady, she had to follow along, so she said, “Hey, look at our family’s harmony, it all depends on my mother. Cihe, how much virtue I have accumulated in my previous life, I was lucky enough to be reborn in the Xie family.”

“Such a harmonious family has to stay together for a long time.”

Mrs. Xie rarely gave the concubine a positive look.

When the auntie saw it, she became more enthusiastic and kept saying more words to prove that “the family should be together”.

Xie Qin saw that grandmother and aunt actually talked to each other every word. I don’t know where they left their father, mother and cousin in the capital.

Yin Mingyu covered the lower half of his face with a fan, leaving only a pair of smiling eyes.

Xie Qin looked at her, Yin Mingyu raised his eyebrows at him.

Mrs. Xie insisted on going to South Vietnam, and it was useless for anyone to stop her. Instead of making the old man feel bad, it was better to follow her wishes.

Xie Qin no longer discouraged him, and spit and agreed.

Madam Xie grinned, “It’s been like this, it’ll save you a lot of talk.”

Immediately, she turned to Yin Mingyu and said, “Second Mother, I told you earlier that I would get you some silver, and I’m ready. Come with me, and I’ll buy you some jewelry.”

When Yin Mingyu heard it, he didn’t think it was hot anymore, so he got up immediately, held Mrs. Xie’s hand, and walked together affectionately.

Xie Ce asked in a milky voice, “Great-grandmother, do you have Ce’er?”

“Yes, there are.” After Mrs. Xie answered him, she looked back at the prostitute and said, “If you still don’t come, I have to invite you to send you something.”

The auntie didn’t expect to have her share, but when she heard that she was not left behind, she was overjoyed to keep up with her.

Xie Qin who was ignored: “…”

And they are coming to see Mrs. Xie, so they naturally set aside some time. Since they are not in a hurry, everyone will eat at the old house.

After the meal, under the urging of Mrs. Xie, the group set off for the pier, and the people from the old house followed them to the pier.

After saying goodbye, Yin Mingyu and Xie Qin helped Madam Xie to board the boat. At this moment, a carriage came galloping in the distance, and the driver shouted at the Xie family on the pier, “Mrs. Xie! Hold on! “

The few people turned around and looked around. When the carriage approached, the faces of the two old men were exposed from the window. The old lady let go of her grandchildren’s hand and took a few steps back.

Yin Mingyu and Xie Qin looked at each other, both guessing that the people who came might be two friends of the old lady.

After the carriage stopped, the two old ladies got off the carriage. After Yin Mingyu and Xie Qin took Xie Ce to meet them, they retreated to one side and did not disturb them.

One old lady held each other’s hands, and the other two old ladies raised their hands to wipe their tears from time to time, and put them back on the clasped hands.

“Hurry up, hurry up, and finally catch up with sending you a ride. This time we part, I’m afraid we won’t be able to see each other again.”

The other old lady was also full of reluctance and choked up: “I didn’t expect that we would be able to reunite at the old age. Thanks to you, the two of us have been very comfortable these days.”

Mrs. Xie’s eyes were also a little red, but she didn’t cry, she only persuaded open-mindedly: “Man, you have to live for yourself. Children and grandchildren will have their own children and grandchildren, you all want to be more open, the days to come will be without me, Not bad either.”

The two old ladies nodded, “What you said is.”

Now that the carriage is slow, they were afraid that it would be difficult to see each other again, so they came to see them off no matter what. The two old ladies held back their tears and told Mrs. Xie, “You must take care of yourself when you go out.”

Mrs. Xie agreed, and in turn told the two of them to communicate with her.

The two old ladies looked at each other and said to her, “We are thinking, we are all old, we have to leave sooner or later, just leave some thoughts, and we will not communicate.”

“Yeah, just pretend that the other party is living well in a place they don’t know, so as to save trouble if they know which one to go first.”

Madam Xie was stunned for a moment, then she thought that at their age, it was extremely uncertain when the King of Hell would take them away, so she clapped the two of them’s hands, and said, “Okay, but we agreed, we have to get better. .”

With smiles on their faces, the two old ladies should come down.

The friendship when they were young, each experienced ups and downs, and when they met again after a long absence, their temples were stained with frost and snow, and they were still as close as ever.

All good things are worth laughing.

Yin Mingyu looked at the old man, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Xie Qin was probably also a little emotional because of this scene. Under his wide sleeves, he gently held Yin Mingyu’s hand and looked sideways at her.

Yin Mingyu responded to him naturally, bent his mouth at him, and then looked at Mrs. Xie and the others.

When they heard their goodbyes, Yin Mingyu and Xie Qin stepped forward to say goodbye to the two elderly people.

The two old ladies personally helped them get up and told them to take good care of their grandmother.

Yin Mingyu agreed with a smile, and when he lowered his eyes, he noticed that the old hand holding her wrist was trembling slightly.

And the hand quickly released, and urged: “We will not delay your departure, get on the boat quickly.”

Xie Qin helped the old lady to turn around, Yin Mingyu moved a little later, because she took a few more glances at the old lady’s hand.

She was not mistaken, when the old man put down his hand, his hand would tremble a lot.

Yin Mingyu guessed that she might be trying her best to control her, and she would only relax her control when she knew that her sleeves were covering her when she put down her hands.

Mrs. Xie didn’t notice it, and when she turned around, the two old men would smile at her even with tears in their eyes.

Yin Mingyu looked at it, and there was an unspeakable feeling in his heart. When he was about to step on the sampan, he turned around and gave the two old men a respectful salute.

When Xie Qin and Xie Ce father and son saw her so solemn, they also turned around and bowed their hands.

Others only regarded them as being polite, and Mrs. Xie just looked at their family with relief, waved to the two old sisters, and got on the boat.

The boat slowly left the dock until she could not see anyone clearly. Madam Xie let out a long sigh and left the side of the boat.

It was only then that she noticed that Yin Mingyu’s sheep was still leaning against the cabin wall as before.

Not only has it faded, but also diligently faded early.

Yin Mingyu glanced at Xie Ce.

Xie Ce dodged his eyes with a guilty conscience, ran quickly to Mrs. Xie’s side, and said obediently, “Grandma, let’s go in.”

Madam Xie immediately stopped caring about the sheep, and called Ye Xiaolangjun to speak in the cabin together.

Ye Daru did not go with them, but sat on the bow to enjoy the scenery on the shore of Yangzhou.

Xie Qin asked her at this time: “You just looked a little different, why?”

Yin Mingyu whispered what she found.

Xie Qin was silent, and after a moment said: “It is indeed a salute.”

Yin Mingyu looked at the vast sea in front of him and said with a smile, “Although I haven’t gotten old yet, I think it’s a blessing to have two good friends to remember when I get old.”

“Yes.”

The sea breeze is a bit strong, and the two people’s clothes are flying, and they are entangled from time to time.

Xie Qin raised his hand and pulled Yin Mingyu’s disheveled hair from the sea breeze behind her ear, and said warmly, “There will be many people who will miss you.”

In other words, she will be very blessed.

Yin Mingyu said with a smile, “That’s natural.”

Mrs. Xie left Yangzhou and went out with Xie Qin. It was a very important matter for the Xie family, and his aunt also left with them. Of course, Xie Qin had to send a letter back to Beijing quickly to inform his parents and cousin.

Madam Xie received the letter in the mansion, opened it expectantly, and closed it expressionlessly.

When Xie Family Master came back in the evening, she delivered the letter with a calm expression.

Xie Patriarch read the letter, “…”

Thousands of invitations, I hope that the old lady will come back to Beijing and send people farther and farther.

The couple looked at each other, and Patriarch Xie said with difficulty: “Your Majesty has not approved my resignation, Madam will wait.”

His Majesty is in poor health, and he can’t get out of it at all. He resigns once, and he can’t ask for a second time for the time being.

Mrs. Xie understood the family head Xie and sighed: “You are resigning, and it is impossible for us to go to Nanyue.”

The couple looked at each other again and sighed in unison.

When Mrs. aunt’s letter to Bai Zhixu arrived, Bai Zhixu was also speechless, and returned to Xie’s house the next day, facing Mrs. Xie face to face, and comforting each other.

What can they do, everyone has gone away…
