Chapter 14 Family Disturbance (Part 2)

Old Mrs. An had heard all the conversation between the mother and daughter in the room. When she saw them in, she drooped her eyelids and gently patted the mao in her arms, and said lightly: "I heard it all."

Seeing that she just said she had heard it, Xue didn't express her opinion, and was slightly anxious: "Old lady..."

Old Mrs. An glanced at An Yi and said sarcastically: "I actually know how to use my brain. I know that this person is not easy to ask for. I will say first that Wu Jing is not a family member. I don't have to borrow money every day and not repay it, and they are not tired of it. What children understand, but you, a young lady from a scholarly family, don't understand it?"

The previous sentence was to mock An Yi but agreed with An Yi's statement, but the latter sentence was directed at Xue, and it was said very seriously, revealing all his dissatisfaction and dislike for Xue. Xue was speechless and had to cry in shame.

Leaving the old lady An's vicious tongue, she thought she could no longer be shameless and forced Wu Jing to ask for it. An Yi looked up to her a little bit, and felt that the old lady was useless except being tricky, arrogant and mean. However, since An Yi came to this house, Xue has been protecting her unconditionally, so she could not ignore Xue and let Xue be bullied by the old lady. An Yi cleared her throat and said, "My mother is also very anxious."

Old Mrs. An sneered, too lazy to talk anymore, and turned around absent-mindedly to look at the gate of the courtyard, hoping that An Baoliang could find a way and return quickly.

The contempt contained in the laughter of Mrs. An was too harsh. Xue became more and more pale and silent. She stared at the gradually darkening window, with a little bit of death in her eyes. Before the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled, Mrs. An was just blaming her for not raising a good baby, which was called Maomao premature birth and Maomao had this disease. If Maomao really had a few shorts, she had to give her life to him...

An Yi looked around and saw the strong resentment between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law clearly. It is believed that Old Lady An tried every means to marry a wife like Xue, and she had great hope. She hoped that a wife with a good background could develop the family and take the whole family to another height, and fortunately she was proud in front of her clan members. But she chose Xue's background, but she did not expect Xue's temperament.

Xue, who is good at sitting at home, reading and writing, reading poetry and being a girl, and the young widow, broke through the siege with his own strength. He could send his mother-in-law to his mother-in-law by relying on a few acres of thin fields and two and a half-bad houses. He raised his son to become a Jinshi and became an official, and was too cowardly and incompetent. Xue not only could not manage family affairs well, but could not control his concubines, but even had children as a daughter-in-law, who was a daughter-in-law, and finally gave birth to a son, but he was born prematurely and had many illnesses.

Judging from this situation, if Maomao really has something, the family is afraid that something will happen. He must remind An Baoliang, otherwise his family will be destroyed. An Yi stood up silently and quietly went out.

Geely hid in the kitchen alone to hide in the quietness. Because she wanted to save the lamp oil and did not hold the lamp, she sat by the stove in darkness. Seeing An Yi go in to look for the lantern, she didn't remind her, and she didn't remind her, so she let An Yi touch the gray hand. An Yi couldn't find it, so she had to ask, "Auntie, where is the lantern?"

Geely was never angry at her and said coldly: "How could I know? Isn't the girl able to do a lot? Why do you have to ask the slave for such a small thing?"

At this moment, she had the intention to provoke her, but it was really nothing to do with her. An Yi sneered and showed a row of snow-white teeth: "I don't know? I really don't know? The family urgently needs money. I guess my aunt is young and beautiful and worth a few taels of silver. I wonder if my grandmother will find a good place for her aunt." The real situation is that a concubine is a concubine. If she really takes that step, Old Lady An would definitely only ask for a high price of silver, regardless of good luck or bad life or death. She would give it to whoever would pay, and the price given by the brothel was the highest.

Just in the remaining twilight, Geely seemed to see An Yi's white teeth flashing with a cold light, and could not help but tremble and sneered: "Grandma, don't scare me, I've made no mistakes. I have no credit for these years and have worked hard. How could the old lady and the master sell me for no reason?" Although she was stubborn, she was guilty inside and outside. She understood very well that Old Lady An bought her because the An family needed her son to pass on the family line, so she could sell her to cure her grandson.

"Is that right?" An Yi smiled, turned around and continued to touch the lantern. She touched the lantern and left on her own, leaving Geely alone in the darkness.

Geely clenched her fists and let her nails fall deep into her palms. An Yi's words are certainly true, but what if Maomao died before selling her? With Xue's body, she would definitely not be able to reborn. An Baoliang is so poor that he can no longer take a concubine. Then the mother and son could only hope that their stomachs would bulge, and she could maintain their current status, or even higher! Geely took a deep breath in excitement, but then she thought that there was another possibility. Old Mrs. An might sell her to exchange for another younger and stronger entry! After all, she had nowhere to go in for five years.

An Yi, wait and see! If you want to tell me, I will make it difficult for you. Geely got up, tried to remove the stove ash in the dark, and took out a small tightly sealed pot from the bottom of the stove ash.

The light emitted by the two paper lanterns hanging at the county government office penetrated the mist of rain and mist, making the lonely figure of An Baoliang long and adding a bit of coldness to this rainy night for nothing.

"Dad." Perhaps because she had lost completely, An Yi, who was standing under the wall, looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel more sympathetic to the middle-aged man who was in failure and struggling desperately.

An Baoliang wiped the water flowing down his cheeks, and he didn't know if it was rain or tears, and reluctantly smiled at An Yi: "Why did you come out?"

An Yi stood on tiptoe and covered his umbrella on his head, and said softly: "Since it was dark, my father hasn't come back yet, so I'm worried, come out and pick him up."

After running for a long time, An Baoliang, who had been experiencing a cold heart, suddenly felt a little warmer and tears burst out from his eyes. He was afraid that An Yi would see it, so he quickly wiped his sleeves quietly and said with a voice: "It's dark and rainy, what are you, a girl, coming out to do? Have you eaten?"

An Yi pretended not to see his tears, shook her head and said, "I didn't eat. Grandma and mother were angry, and my aunt didn't have the heart to cook. I saw that my mother's expression was a little wrong. I was afraid that she would blame her brother's illness on her head, and she was a little confused. After my father returned, he remembered to comfort her mother very much and advised her not to force her too much. As long as the person was good, she could always think of a solution, otherwise the family would be disbanded."

"Yeah." An Baoliang couldn't help but look at An Yi for a few more times, feeling that his daughter, who was ignorant in the past, suddenly became much smarter and more transparent, and seemed to have completely changed her individual.

Seeing that he couldn't help but look at him, An Yi knew that he was suspicious, but at this time, she didn't care about hiding her weakness, so she asked An Baoliang: "Dad, can you borrow money?"

An Baoliang remained silent and gently pushed open the ward door.
