Chapter 52: Chapter 51 Returning the favor
Ye Anyian rushed to Zhao Lizheng's house non-stop.
In fact, Zhao Lizheng already knew about the affairs of Lao Ye's family yesterday, but because Ye Annian and the others had stopped it yesterday, he did not move forward. After all, it was someone else's family matter.
But today Ye Annian came to him and told Wu Xianglian about leaving Ye Xiaomei outside last night. Now he couldn't ignore it.
Following Ye Annian out of the house, the two of them had not gone far when Shitou ran towards them.
"Grandpa, Brother Ye!"
Shitou greeted the two people.
Ye Annian nodded in agreement, but heard Shitou say: "Brother Ye, I just saw that old witch from the Ye family going to the east end of the village. She might be going to your house. Go back and take a look. !"
Ye Anian frowned when he heard this, but thinking that with Jiang Zhu at home, Wu Xianglian shouldn't be able to act like a monster.
Zhao Lizheng glanced at him and knew that he was worried about his family, so he sent the stone to go home, and then he and Ye Anian quickened their pace and rushed to the east of the village.
Crescent Village is not that big in total, and the two of them arrived in a short time.
However, what surprised him was that the courtyard was quiet, with no noise and no fighting.
Just as he was wondering if Wu Xianglian had been sent away by Jiang Zhu, the fence door of the small courtyard was pushed open.
Ye Xiaomei stood at the door wearing his old loose clothes. Seeing him and Li Zheng coming back, she quickly said: "Zhao Lizheng, brother Nian, you are back."
"Wu...where's our grandma?" Ye Anyian changed his words in time.
"She...she." Ye Xiaomei hesitated, with a dodgey look on her face, which seemed like she was hiding something.
Ye Anian was puzzled, but before he could think about it, he followed Zhao Lizheng into the courtyard.
Far away, he saw three small stools placed in the courtyard, two of which were empty, and only one had an old woman wearing coarse clothes sitting on it.
The old woman sat quietly and didn't get up when she saw them coming in. She didn't make any noise or make any noise, she just sat quietly.
Zhao Lizheng looked more and more strange, and hissed: "This, is this Wu Xianglian?"
Ye Annian almost didn't recognize it.
This was the first time he saw Wu Xianglian sitting quietly, neither rolling on the ground or hopping around or swearing at anyone.
"An Nian, Zhao Lizheng."
Jiang Zhu heard the sound and walked out of the medicine house.
He stepped forward to meet the two of them, with a warm smile on his face, and said to Ye Anyian: "Our grandma is here, looking for Ye Xiaomei. She insists on taking Ye Xiaomei back, and you are not here, so I will let her go." She's sitting there waiting for a while."
Ye Annian looked at Wu Xianglian who was sitting motionless, and suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar.
Recalling Wang Long who had come to make trouble at their banquet, he knew clearly that Wu Xianglian might have had her acupuncture points tapped by Jiang Zhu.
But Zhao Li was here, and he didn't say anything.
The two of them sat down on the small stools diagonally opposite to Wu Xianglian's. Jiang Zhu stood up and went to the Yaolu with a discerning eye. He poured two cups of the red date tea he had cooked and handed it to Ye Annian and Zhao Lizheng. One cup per person.
Zhao Lizheng was holding red date tea in his hand and was a little surprised to see Wu Xianglian sitting still and not talking.
Then he asked her, "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you say anything when you saw us coming?"
Wu Xianglian, who was sitting diagonally across from him, twitched the corners of her mouth, but still didn't speak. She just shook her head slightly.
Zhao Lizheng looked strange, raised his head and asked Jiang Zhu: "Mr. Jiang, what's going on with her?"
Jiang Zhu pulled a small stool from the side and sat down next to Ye Anian.
He smiled and said to Zhao Lizheng: "It's nothing serious. I've been looking for Ye Xiaomei all morning. Her voice has become hoarse from shouting. She also drank wind and had a slight stroke, so she can't speak for the time being. But it's okay to nod and shake your head." "
Zhao Lizheng:...
Although he felt that this was a bit coincidental and a bit outrageous, for some reason, he felt quite happy.
Wu Xianglian, an old godly woman, has always been one of the most trouble-making thorns in Yueya Village. She is the cause of most of the conflicts among villagers in Yueya Village throughout the year.
Zhao Lizheng had always annoyed her, but now that he saw her like this, he felt a little relieved.
I think this old pious woman has committed too many sins, and God has punished her.
He thought so in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. He just nodded: "Yes."
"Then let's talk about Ye Xiaomei. Whatever I tell Brother Nian, you can just nod or shake your head."
After Zhao Lizheng finished speaking, he started chatting directly with Ye Anian without looking at Wu Xianglian's expression.
"Xiaomei's face looks terrible to me now. She's even pale and has no color anymore. It's fine to let her be raised here by you, as long as it doesn't disturb the life of your family of four."
"Don't bother." Ye Annian replied, "There is a place to live at home. She was beaten badly yesterday and had a high fever. I'm afraid she's just a little better now."
"Well," Zhao Lizheng nodded seriously, "but we can't let her live here forever. After all, she is an unmarried girl, and it will be bad for her own reputation over time."
Ye Anyian: "I know. So I plan to let her stay here for half a month, and then go back when she is well."
"That's fine." Zhao Lizheng looked very satisfied. After he agreed, he looked at Wu Xianglian again, "Old Ye's family, what do you think?"
What can Wu Xianglian say?
She had her acupoints tapped and couldn't move. Jiang Zhu even tapped her mute acupuncture points. Now she could do nothing but nod and shake her head.
So she shook her head desperately, her eyes widening.
However, Zhao Lizheng only glanced at her and then looked away, sighing to Ye Anyian: "Your grandma too, this is too much.
Xiaomei is also her own granddaughter. To hurt someone like this and not let them in is to deny them a way to survive. "
"Maybe she was confused for a while," Ye Annian cooperated with Zhao Lizheng, "Let the second sister stay here for the past few days so that she can think about what to do in the future when she goes back."
"That's the truth." Zhao Lizheng muttered, "Although this man is old, he can't do things like old fools."
"Okay, that's it. I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
Wu Xianglian's chest suddenly rose and fell violently while she was sitting on the stool. She was obviously very angry.
But no matter how angry she was, she couldn't make a sound. She could only shake her head and stare into a pair of bull's eyes, doing useless work.
Ye Annian and Jiang Zhu politely sent Zhao Lizheng out.
Ye Xiaomei, who was hiding aside, came forward.
She was twisting her sleeves with her hands, her shoulders were shaking slightly, and she looked quite excited.
"Brother Nian, Doctor Jiang, I really don't know how to thank you. You... if there is anything you need me to do, just ask."
"I, I can do any kind of work, including chopping wood and carrying water!"
Seeing her like this, Ye Anyian comforted her and said, "You are my second sister. Don't say such things as a family."
"However, I really need your help with something."
"Say it!" Ye Xiaomei immediately became excited, "I can help with anything."
"Look back, give me the size of your clothes. Tomorrow Jiang Zhu and I will go to town and I have to buy you two pairs of decent clothes." Ye Annian said.
When he said this, Ye Xiaomei waved her hands and refused: "No, no, I can just wear your old clothes, you don't have to buy me new ones!"
"Aren't you planning on finding your own marriage?" Ye Anyian asked her.
Ye Xiaomei was stunned, but didn't understand what he meant.
Ye Anyian then said: "Since you have decided to choose your own husband, you must first dress yourself up. You don't even have decent clothes. Isn't it appropriate?"
Ye Anyian's words made sense as soon as he thought about it.
Ye Xiaomei didn't refuse, but she was worried about the price.
"Well, just buy something cheap, but never buy something good."
"What?" Ye Annian teased her, "Second sister, are you afraid that you can't afford to pay her back?"
Ye Xiaomei's face turned red, but she still said loudly: "I will definitely pay you back the money you spent on the clothes."
"Okay. Just give it to me when the second sister has money."
The two of them were talking here, and Jiang Zhu went to the medicine house to get the medicine basket.
It was just after noon at this time, and he planned to go up the mountain to collect some medicinal materials and sell them in exchange for some money when he went to town tomorrow.
Seeing that he was leaving, Ye Anyian hurriedly caught up with him, pointed at Wu Xianglian who was still sitting in the courtyard like a statue and said, "What should she do?"
Jiang Zhu glanced at her and narrowed her peach-blossom eyes with a smile: "She's like this, why don't you just do whatever you want?"
Ye Anyian suddenly became a little confused: "Isn't this... bad? She is also my grandmother after all."
"Then wait until no one sees it?" Jiang Zhu cast a meaningful look at Ye Annian.
Ye Anyian understood and pursed his lips: "Then go ahead and remember to come back early for dinner."
"Okay." Jiang Zhu agreed warmly.
Taking advantage of Ye Annian's unpreparedness, he grabbed his waist, leaned forward and kissed the corner of his mouth.
The kiss broke away as soon as it touched. Jiang Zhu smiled like a fox who succeeded in his scheme. Without waiting for Ye Anyian's reaction, he turned around and left with the medicine basket on his back.
It took Ye Annian a long time to come back to his senses. He stared blankly as Jiang Zhu's figure walked further and further away, and finally turned into a small dot and disappeared from his sight.
His heart was beating a little hard, and the warmth on his lips didn't seem to dissipate. He took a deep breath and patted his chest to calm down.
After another moment, he closed the fence gate and turned around and entered the yard.
Wu Xianglian was still left in the courtyard to bask in the sun. The sun was rising now, and the August sun was still poisonous. She was already sweating profusely while sitting in the sun.
But Ye Anian, Ye Xiaomei and the two little ones seemed not to have seen her. Several people walked around her, chatting and laughing, but no one paid attention to her.
However, Ye Xiaomei still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her face, and would hide far away every time he had to pass by her.
Fu Zai was also afraid of her and walked around her on crutches.
Copper Coin, on the other hand, was very bold. He barked around her and even raised his hind legs to urinate on her feet.
Wu Xianglian was so angry that her eyes were red, but Naihe couldn't move at all and could only let the copper coins bully her.
In the afternoon, Jiang Zhu came back with a basket full of medicinal herbs.
Ye Anyian and Ye Xiaomei have already cooked the Chinese food and put it in the pot to heat up and wait for him.
Fu Zai and Ding Qiu were hungry and had already eaten first. Only Ye Xiaomei and Ye Annian were waiting for him.
After the three of them had eaten the stewed meat with beans and pancakes made by Zhongshi, Ye Xiaomei went back to the west room to play with the two little ones. Ye Anian and Jiang Zhu went back to the medicine house to continue making woodcuts.
Wu Xianglian has not gone back since she came out in the morning. Sun Caihe, the eldest daughter-in-law of the old Ye family, came to see her but was sent away by Jiang Zhu.
Wu Xianglian sat there until the evening.
It wasn't until late at night that Jiang Zhu unblocked her acupuncture points, and he and Ye Anian helped and dragged her to the door of Lao Ye's house. Because he was afraid that she would yell, the mute acupoints were not unblocked. .
The two placed Wu Xianglian under the wall at the door, where Ye Xiaomei had been lying before. Jiang Zhu stretched out his hand twice and lit her up again.
Wu Xianglian:...
She couldn't speak, her eyes were red, her face was covered with snot and tears, and she felt so regretful that her intestines were blue.
So good, why would she provoke these two ancestors?
But it was too late, she could only lie here like a stone, watching the stars in the cold wind.
"The acupuncture points will be automatically unlocked in two hours, so you can take care of yourself."
After Jiang Zhu finished speaking, he took Ye Annian and left.
And the copper coin that secretly followed the two people out naturally did not miss this good opportunity.
She squatted down with her hind legs, and with Wu Xianglian's hand on the ground, she pooped out another big pile of hot dog poop.
Wu Xianglian:...
Damn you little beast!
