Chapter 14
On the third day after returning from the town, Li Suniang found that there was always a strange woman outside her yard, always looking at her house. When she saw her, her eyes seemed to be looking at something, looking at her up and down, and then nodding inexplicably.
When she saw Niu Zihao, there was both disgust and satisfaction in her eyes, anyway, it made people uncomfortable.
Thanks to the fact that there were no electronic products and no weight-bearing schoolbags in ancient times, her eyesight was excellent, and she could see the woman's every move even across the yard.
For this reason, she didn't let Niu Zihao go out to play recently, for fear that the woman was a human trafficker, after all, her Zihao was really good-looking. She didn't brag, it seemed that there was no child in the village who was as good-looking as her Zihao.
She didn't say nonsense, because she had heard people say in her previous life that human traffickers took advantage of the adults in the family not paying attention and went directly to the door to rob children. So since the woman appeared, she has been keeping an eye on Xiao Zihao.
But it won't work like this forever! It would be nice to have a dog at home so that if a stranger comes, she will know immediately when the dog barks.
Li Suniang had the idea of raising a dog, but she was not familiar with the village, and she didn't know who had a puppy to catch. So she thought of Aunt Yang who lived not far from her home, and Aunt Yang would definitely know.
Li Suniang can be said to be a person of action, and she does what she says. So early in the morning, the mother and son had breakfast, closed the gate, and went to Aunt Yang's house hand in hand.
At this time, the Yang family was still eating breakfast.
"Uncle Yang, Big Brother Yang, Second Brother Yang, and Third Brother Yang are eating breakfast!" Li Suniang pushed open the gate and greeted the men who were eating in the yard with a smile.
In the yard, Old Man Yang and his three sons were still sitting outside with their bowls to eat breakfast. When the four men saw Li Suniang and Niu Zihao, they were all stunned. Although they heard from Aunt Yang that Niu Da's wife had changed a lot, they still didn't believe it. But now she looks different from before, not as timid as before.
"... Well, find your Aunt Yang, she's in the kitchen." It was still Old Man Yang who came to his senses first, pointing in the direction of the kitchen and answering. Aunt Yang also poked her head out, and when she saw Li Suniang, she waved at her.
"Thank you, Uncle Yang, eat slowly!" Li Suniang said with a smile and then took Xiao Zihao to Aunt Yang.
"Dad, Niu Da's wife is really different from before." Yang Laosan swallowed the porridge in his mouth and said in a low voice.
"Eat your meal, don't be like a woman who likes to talk too much." Old Man Yang scolded in a low voice.
Yang Laosan looked at his father and then looked at his brothers, but the two brothers ignored him. He felt bored and lowered his head to continue eating breakfast.
Just as Li Suniang was greeting Old Man Yang and the others, Aunt Yang, who was eating breakfast in the kitchen, had already heard her voice, so she stuck her head out and waved to Li Suniang.
"Suniang, Zihao, have you eaten yet?" Aunt Yang asked with a smile.
"Yes."
"We've eaten."
The mother and son replied in unison.
"Hello, three sisters-in-law." Li Suniang went into the kitchen and greeted Aunt Yang's three daughters-in-law.
"Hello, aunts." Xiao Zihao said next to his mother.
"Oh, what a well-behaved child! Come and let Aunt Zhao hold you." Zhao Shi, who had just finished breakfast, put down the bowl in her hand and reached out to Xiao Zihao to hold him.
"Don't hold me, mother said that men and women should not be close to each other. Aunt is a woman, Zihao is a man, you can't hold me." Xiao Zihao said seriously while avoiding Zhao Shi.
"...(⊙o⊙) What? Hahaha..." Zhao Shi was a little dazed when she heard it, and immediately laughed again.
Aunt Yang and the others in the room laughed at Zihao's words, only Li Suniang felt a little embarrassed. The mother and son talked about this last night. Anyway, Li Suniang didn't remember it, but the boy remembered it.
"You are a little kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, where do you get this kind of truth from? Men and women can't touch each other. Today, Aunt Zhao wants to kiss you." After Zhao Shi said that, she stood up and pulled Xiao Zihao, who was hiding behind Li Suniang and kissed him on the face happily.
"Mom, mom!" Xiao Zihao shouted desperately for his mom, and his body was trying hard to break free from Zhao Shi's arms.
"Hahaha, it's useless for you to shout ‘Mom’. Your Aunt Zhao will hold you to sleep tonight." Zhao Shi laughed and teased the little Zihao.
"Don't want to sleep with Aunt Zhao, want to sleep with Mother." Xiao Zihao shook his head and said.
"Your mother is also a woman. How can you sleep with her?" Zhao Shi said with a smile.
"Mom is different." Xiao Zihao said vigorously, because he couldn't get out of Zhao Shi's arms, and tears were about to well up in his eyes.
Aunt Yang laughed for a while and then said with a smile, "Okay, okay, Third Wife, let go quickly. Otherwise, he will cry later, and we will see how you deal with him."
As soon as Zhao Shi let Xiao Zihao go, he immediately ran to his mother's side, hugged his mother's legs, and said with tears in his eyes, "Mom, hold me."
Li Suniang was angry and amused and picked him up, thinking: You little brat, see if you dare to say no next time.
Xiao Zihao hooked his mother's neck with his little hand and then pressed his little face tightly against his mother's neck, and no longer paid attention to other people in the room.
"Sit down, Suniang, it's tiring to hold a child like this." Aunt Yang pointed to the stool next to Zhao Shi and said.
"Aunt, I want to ask you, who in our village has a puppy? I want to raise a dog to guard the house. There are only two of us at home, and there is no man. I always feel unsafe." Li Suniang sat down and told the reason for coming.
"Puppy... let me think about it." Aunt Yang said while thinking.
"Mom, didn't Aunt Ma's dog in the village give birth to puppies? The last time I went to her house, she asked me if my family wanted a puppy." Yang's eldest daughter-in-law Fang Shi said on the side.
"Really? Then I'll take Suniang to her house later." Aunt Yang said.
"Or I'll take Suniang! Anyway, I have nothing to do," Fang Shi said.
"No, you should stay at home! I'm worried about you with a big belly." Aunt Yang looked at Fang Shi's belly and refused.
Li Suniang also nodded in agreement. The children in the village are used to being wild. If she is accidentally bumped into, it will not be a joke. After all, this is a five-month-old belly. The fetus has already taken shape in the mother's body. Five months is the most important stage for the embryo to develop in the mother's body.
When Li Suniang led Zihao and Aunt Yang out of the kitchen, they saw a pile of four large bowls at the door of the kitchen, and the father and son, who were originally in the yard, were no longer in sight.
This made Li Suniang feel really embarrassed because when she was in the kitchen, the father and son did not dare to come in. They were probably afraid that she would be uncomfortable!
It’s not like the original owner had never been out of the house, but every time she went out, Niu Da would accompany her. No matter what happened, Niu Da would come forward to solve it, and the original owner would just hide behind Niu Da. When she met someone in the village, she would just lower her head and never communicate with them, except Aunt Yang. And she never went out alone, resulting in some people in the village never seeing Li Suniang.
For example, Du Wei had never seen her and only heard from his father that Niu Da’s wife was timid and cowardly. When he heard it, he still despised Niu Da in his heart, saying that if he married a wife, he would not want such a timid person.
After seeing those bowls, Aunt Yang shouted to the kitchen in a very natural way, "Second wife, take the bowls at the door and wash them together."
After that, she walked out, and Li Suniang was a little embarrassed to follow her with Zihao.
Aunt Ma was an old widow. Although she was called an old woman, she was not very old, only three or four years older than Aunt Yang. Li Suniang was able to know this person because she heard Niu Da mention this person in the original owner's memory, and Niu Da would sometimes help Aunt Ma with work.
In fact, Niu Da is a kind-hearted person, but it's a pity that kind people don't live long. Of course, if Niu Da didn't die, there would be no Li Yiyi.
Aunt Yang said that Aunt Ma was also a miserable person. When she was young, she married Ma Jinshan, who had a widowed mother, and her mother-in-law passed away within a year. Fortunately, Aunt Ma was pregnant at that time and later gave birth to a son. Unfortunately, she was injured when giving birth, which resulted in her inability to give birth again in the future.
Aunt Ma's son has been very weak since he came out of his mother's womb, and the midwife said that she might not be able to support him. To support this son, Ma Jinshan did everything, and Aunt Ma treated this son as the apple of her eye. It was not easy to raise the child to the age of ten, and seeing that his body was better than before, who knew that bad luck would come? Ma Jinshan was killed by a rock rolling down the mountain when he went out to find work.
When he was carried home, he was covered in blood. The child was so scared that he had a high fever that night and couldn't be cured. The doctor who came to see her shook his head and told her to prepare for the funeral. Aunt Ma was so desperate at that time... her son was gone, her husband was gone, and she was the only one left in the family. There was a rumor in the village that Aunt Ma was born with a bad fate, so all her family members died, and she was the only one who was fine.
Aunt Ma was originally a warm person, but since her child and husband died, Aunt Ma seemed to have changed. She didn't speak all day and looked dead.
Someone once asked her why she didn't die with them. Aunt Ma just stared at the man and said that if she died, no one would burn paper money for her children and husband. So she had to live well and burn a lot of paper money for them every year so that they wouldn't have to suffer because of lack of money.
Maybe because she was too lonely, Aunt Ma got a puppy to keep her company. Maybe because Aunt Ma's temper became strange, few people in the village went to her house. But she gave away all the puppies she caught to the village when they grew up and gave birth to puppies.
Yuyu: Women are always the ones blamed if something happens in their family. I really don't know when this will stop 😞
