Chapter 52: Scared of being beaten, want to split up

He Wanqing didn’t have much time to think before He Wanyi and He Wanlin, her neighbors, came over, yawning. “Sister, let’s go out and see!” “Big Sister, let’s go. The noise outside has been going on for a long time. If we wait until we finish eating before going, we’ll probably miss the whole thing.” Touching her rumbling stomach, He Wanqing listened to the commotion outside and nodded: “Okay, wait for me, I’ll grab a cornbread.” Before they could respond, she went straight to the kitchen and lifted the pot lid. Looking at the old hen soup and white steamed buns in the pot, her heart ached.

Her mother still remembered Zhu Sanni’s words. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have made this early in the morning. Thinking of this, a tear flashed in her eye, then she raised her head and forced the tears back. She couldn’t cry, she had to face every day with a smile from now on.  In the courtyard, urged by He Wanlin, she took three buns and went out. “Here, your aunt got up early today, have some together.” She smiled and handed each of them a bun, automatically ignoring the sourness in her heart, and took them out the door. “Thank you, Sister.”

 The two sisters took the buns, took a bite, and seeing that they were all meat, they quickly thanked her. “You’re welcome.” At the door, the three of them moved in unison, sticking their heads out to look left and right. Finally, they found that it was He Dadan’s family who was arguing. They all took a bite of the bun at the same time, eating and happily running over to join the fun. Seeing that He Dadan’s house was already surrounded by several circles of people, the three of them walked around the crowd twice, but they couldn’t find the best position, so they could only be dragged back home by He Grandma and He Mother. Back home, while drinking the chicken soup made by her mother, she looked at the smiles on the faces of the two of them, puzzled.

He Wanyi and He Wanlin were the same as her, the three sisters moved in unison, making He Grandma shake her head. “Okay, stop looking, I’ll tell you.” “Okay, Grandma, tell us quickly.” He Wanqing took a sip of chicken soup, holding a bun, eating and watching her. He Wanyi and the others on the side learned from her, took a sip of chicken soup, held a bun and watched He Grandma while eating. Seeing her granddaughter’s appearance, He Grandma, who was always strict, rarely said anything to them, but smiled and talked to He Mother.

Last night, He Dadan’s family didn’t know who beat them up, and the final result was the same as the Xu family’s, they were found in the toilet. And they were next door and didn’t hear anything, so they were arguing now because He Cao’s second and third uncles wanted to split up. The reason was that He Cao, regardless of her sisterly affection, snatched someone else’s marriage. So she was beaten by the great-grandmother on the mountain who couldn’t stand it anymore, and she even got her family beaten up. He Dadan didn’t want to split up, so he wouldn’t let his second son and the others talk about it. He Cao’s second aunt directly blamed He Cao, which made Wu Shi, who had been beaten, very unhappy. But she didn’t want to split up either, because if they split up, she wouldn’t be able to manage the family anymore, which she wasn’t used to after managing her grandchildren for a lifetime.

 When He Cao’s third uncle and the others saw the second family making a fuss, they joined in. Because they didn’t want to be beaten by the great-grandmother on the mountain, they had been beaten every day for a while, which seriously affected their work. So now both families mean the same thing, they want to split up and live separately.

 He Dadan and his eldest son, who didn’t want to split up, could only remain silent, letting their wives charge into battle. Then they argued more and more fiercely, and finally started fighting. As for He Cao, the culprit, because she fell into the dung pit and lost money, she stayed in her room and didn’t come out, letting them fight, she pretended to be deaf and mute.

This made the daughters and sons of the second and third families very unhappy, so they rushed into the room and pulled her out to beat her up. Just at that moment, Zhu Sanni came to He Cao to ask for money, seeing her being beaten, and thinking of her sons’ bodies, she immediately went crazy and rushed forward. The final result was like this, He Dadan’s second and third families’ wives, daughters, and sons were fighting with the first family.

 Then, with the help of the Xu family, it evolved into the Xu family and He Cao’s family fighting the second and third families’ wives, daughters, and sons. Well, that’s roughly the gist of it! Oh, I heard that the people from the second and third families also went back to their mothers’ homes to call for help, so there will probably be more fighting later. “Grandma, why are you looking at me, after you left last night, I went back to my room to sleep, you can ask my mother if you don’t believe me.” She said, pointing at her mother, asking her to testify that she didn’t go out later.

“Really not you?” When she heard the noise next door in the morning, she suspected her. But after asking her daughter-in-law, she didn’t go out, so she didn’t go to her room to pull her up and ask. Now she was waving her hand again to deny it, she couldn’t help but think in her heart, could it really be the partial old lady who died on the mountain who came back to beat them up? Seeing her grandmother’s obviously suspicious gaze, He Wanqing really lowered her head and thought for a moment. Finally, after realizing that she hadn’t gone to He Dadan’s house last night, she spoke again: “Grandma, it really wasn’t me, maybe it really was the great-grandmother who came back to beat them up.”

  At the end, she suddenly remembered Gu Cheng’an, thinking of his abilities, she suddenly felt a little insecure. Could it really be him? “You thought of who it was?” It’s her granddaughter who she raised with her own hands, seeing her speak nervously, she exchanged glances with her daughter-in-law and asked again. “No, no, I don’t know.”

 She put down her bowl and chopsticks, waved her hands repeatedly, and shook her head. She didn’t know, she hadn’t confirmed it yet, she couldn’t say. “Then forget it, you three hurry up and eat, go about your business after you finish eating.” He Grandma got up and was about to leave, but she glanced at her granddaughter again before leaving. Feeling like she was being seen through, she was about to say something, but she heard her mother say: “I’m going to the field, you figure it out yourself!” She shook her head as she walked, even she could see that her daughter was nervous, her shrewd mother-in-law wouldn’t have missed it, she probably guessed who it was now.

Thinking of that person, Shen Yu’s mother was satisfied and completely relieved. Walking out of the door, she was carrying a hoe when she saw He Grandma standing at the door waiting for her. “Mother~” She glanced at He Dadan’s house, for some reason, she felt nervous and called out. After saying that, she realized that it had nothing to do with her, she didn’t know why she was nervous. “Okay, I’ve probably guessed it, don’t be nervous, this child did a good job, I like her very much, she suits Wanqing’s temperament.”

 Thinking that her granddaughter had found such a suitable person for her by chance, He Grandma was also happy. Now she and her old man didn’t have to worry, their youngest son and daughter-in-law wouldn’t blame them. “Got it, Mother.”

 “Go to the field, I’ll go chat with your mother.” After saying that, she didn’t care about her, humming a tuneless tune, she went to find Shen Laomu in a good mood. Seeing this, Shen Yu’s mother glanced at He Dadan’s noisy house again, carrying her hoe and Jiang Mei, who had come to find her, and went to the field together. Halfway there, they met Shen Youniang, who had recovered, and the three of them went to the field together.
