Chapter 213 Stepmother Difficulty (5)

"It's time to eat noodles." Seeing that Shi Yi and Mai Hua'er couldn't come out in a hurry, Zhang's grandma came directly to the door of the room to call for someone.

"Hush." ​​Shi Yi raised his index finger on his lips, walked out quietly, and whispered: "The child is too tired and fell asleep."

Zhang's grandma was a little disgusted with the dirty Mai Hua'er sleeping on her daughter's bed, but when she saw her daughter's caring look, she frowned, said nothing, and followed her out.

At the dinner table, no one spoke, only the sound of chopsticks was heard.

After eating a bowl of noodles, Lao Zhang wiped his mouth, and then there was a smile on his face, and he kept praising his wife's delicious cooking.

"Tell me about how the two of you brought back the children of Lao Qi's family." The grandma of the Zhang family took a look at the old girl who was eating with a bowl but obviously didn't know where her thoughts were wandering, and opened her mouth.

"Mom, do you remember when someone broke into my house when I was sick?" Shi pushed the bowl aside and looked up at his mother.

"remember."

Seeing the wrinkled face of the old woman, Zhang Tou knew that she was still thinking about this matter.

It's a long story.On weekdays, he and his wife would always stay alone at home with their daughter, not to mention that time her daughter fell ill with a high fever.But at noon, they heard the weather forecast on the radio saying that there would be rain in the next few days, and there was work on the mountain again. The two of them thought that if they went together, they would come back together before it got dark.Who would have thought that when they came back, they would see the daughter who was supposed to be resting on the bed, pulling the quilt and standing at the door with a look of panic.They didn't say anything to the girl when they asked her about it. It wasn't until several days later, when the girl's high fever subsided, that they told them that a man broke open the door and came in that night, and was scared away by something later.

"I also saw that black shadow at the time." Shi's eyes were not filled with fear as before, but rather relieved.

"What is it?" Old Zhang clasped his head tightly on the table.

Whoever saved his daughter, no matter what it is, he must repay it.Grandma Zhang is no exception.

If the man hadn't been scared away, it would have been their daughter who suffered.They still remember the sharp hatchet that fell on the ground.Choosing such a time period to come here must have been planned long ago.If he hadn't been scared away, if he had entered this house, he would have been killed and silenced.Suppose their daughter is gone, their whole life's hard work is gone.

"It's Mai Hua'er." Shi Yi looked in the direction of his room.

"How could it be Mai Hua'er?" Grandma Zhang was puzzled.

How can a child scare away a man in his prime when he is a child?

"My parents still remember that Mai Hua'er used to have long hair. The old lady of the Qi family was afraid that the lice on Mai Hua'er's head would infect others, so she used scissors to hang her."

The old Zhang family couple nodded.

"This incident happened five years ago. At that time, Mai Hua'er was only four years old, but she could do any job like other older children. That night, her mother and her grandmother quarreled and took her a little The baby was kicked out of the house. She grew up in the village since she was a child, and she could only wander around in the village. Her family didn't buy her any clothes that fit her, so she picked up the hay bales to keep warm on her body. It is unevenly tied on her body, she is so small that she can't be seen as a person at all, and her hair is often unwashed and mixed together. When the light shines on it, she looks like a wandering spirit. Shi Yi also rummaged through the original owner's memory for a long time before he realized why the original owner was so persistent in finding her to give Mai Hua'er a good life.

"Hey, it turns out this kid saved your life." Lao Zhangtou suddenly understood why his daughter wanted to wade into the troubled waters of Lao Qi's house.

"The child Mai Hua'er doesn't know anything, I figured it out myself." Shi Yi held his mother's hand and said sincerely: "I know you are all worried that I will suffer, but this child Mai Hua'er is really close to me. I hit it off. I intend to be her stepmother."

"What?" Grandma Zhang's high-pitched voice startled the old Zhang who was still thinking, and almost fell off the stool.

"Do you know that the Qi family is a den of tigers and wolves. His old lady is like a jackal. She tortured his daughter-in-law to death, so you are going to go and be manipulated by her?" Grandma Zhang caressed her heart, thinking not come.

Lao Zhangtou's eyelids were half drooped, but he felt like he was thinking clearly. But the old woman was so resistant now, so it was better for him not to speak.

"Mom, listen to me slowly." Shi Yi walked up behind her and wanted to massage her shoulders to relax, but she swung him away.

Shi Yi unhurriedly sat beside her and carefully analyzed his thoughts for her.

"No, it's just not possible." Before Shi Yi finished speaking, Zhang's grandma slapped the table hard and interrupted the conversation.

"Mom~" Shi whispered, "I'm already 28. I'll be 29 in a month."

"What's the matter with 29? Just say it's 39. As long as I have something to eat, I will never be without you." Grandma Zhang's table was clattering.

Her daughter, who has been brought up through so much hard work, wanted to marry into that old Qi's family as a stepmother, but she, the first mother, refused to agree.

"Mother, can you calm down and listen to the girl?" The old man knew that the old woman's reaction was so big because she loved her daughter so much, so he quickly held her hand on his heart, blowing and rubbing it for her Then, I was afraid that she would get hurt.

Grandma Zhang's excitement gradually eased because of her wife's love for her.

"Mom, our village is very remote. Most of the men in the nearby villages go out to work and start families. Basically no one is willing to recruit a son-in-law. If you really want to get married, you will not feel comfortable if you marry far away. It's comfortable, but I don't feel at ease. But I want to marry a man in the village. Look at those my age, none of them are the ones who support the family. People younger than me look down on me and my family. . There are some older singles in this village, but all of them are as ugly as leprous, with bad personalities, and their families are too poor to blame." Shi Yi finished his words in a self-deprecating tone.

Old Zhangtou also feels wronged for his daughter. His daughter is not beautiful in appearance, but she is absolutely fine. It is all because of his hot temper. He has never let boys of the same age as his daughter in the village get close to his precious daughter since he was a child.Otherwise, he would have become one of the top three richest in the village, the old Zhang family, and still worry about not being able to find a suitable son-in-law.

At the beginning, the husband and wife were really not in a hurry, but seeing the girls in the village who were the same age as their daughters getting married and having children one by one, they were really worried as parents.
