The old lady is reborn

(Everyone is pretty good. You can tell at a glance that I originally planned to set it to Yan Danqi's Fengchu girl, but there is a bug in the timeline. After all, this happened almost twenty years ago.

So I made some changes in the end. In the story, Lu Yiyi got married, her sister Lu Xiaolan ran away, and met an old lady, who turned to her teenage daughter for help because of the house issue.

This was twenty years ago, so Feng Chu Yatou was finally set to be the old lady’s granddaughter, which is the future youngest daughter of the current daughter in the story.)

The old lady said to Lu Xiaolan: "Then stay here with me for a few days and wait for my daughter's reply?"

Lu Xiaolan thought that she was going to Yancheng to find a job, so it wouldn't make much difference if she went there early or late. Since she had already said it, she might as well stay here and accompany the old lady.

If he still wants to listen to his son's advice and live together, then I will help him rent a house, move in, and settle down.

If the daughter stands up for the old lady, then she will leave when the daughter arrives.

So he nodded and said, "Okay."

Lu Xiaolan accompanied the old man to the village entrance once in the morning and once in the evening every day. She was waiting for news.

According to the old man's estimation, there should have been a reply within three days, but by the sixth day, there was still nothing.

The old man sat dejectedly on a bamboo chair, and after a while he said, "It's possible that the brother and sister have already discussed it, and they think the same thing."

After a long while, he said to Lu Xiaolan, "Accompany me to rent a house and move tomorrow." There was an indescribable loneliness and desolation in his voice.

The next day, Lu Xiaolan accompanied the old lady around the village, and soon they decided on a house in Aunt Li's home that also had a small barn and cellar.

Although Aunt Li still has some of her own miscellaneous items in this yard, if they need to be vacated, she can have them moved away immediately.

Lu Xiaolan was accompanying the old lady to discuss with Aunt Li how long to rent and when to move out, when she heard someone in the village shouting, "Huanxi is really back?!"

"It's not a festival, Huanxi, why did you come back suddenly?"

Then I heard a clear voice with a foreign accent: "Miss my mom!"

The old man seemed to be unable to believe it. Ever since he found Huanxi a few years ago, Huanxi would come back to stay for a few days every Chinese New Year.

Listen to this voice, it really is my daughter coming back!

He came out happily and went home with his daughter, grinning from ear to ear, and his back seemed to straighten a little.

When we got home and sat down, the old lady said, "You didn't even write me a letter. I thought you were too busy to come back."

Lu Xiaolan looked at the happy people and felt envious. At least her parents really cared about her.

Huanxi said: "I will set off after receiving mother's letter. Brother, you are so foolish. How can you wrong mother like this?"

When the old lady heard this, her eyes turned red.

Perhaps in order to cover up the past, he quickly changed the subject and introduced Lu Xiaolan.

Huanxi came over and saluted: "I have seen this sister a long time ago, but it was inconvenient to ask her outside just now.

I thought my foolish brother had sent someone to force my mother to move."

The old man suddenly asked, "Why are you home at this time?"

In the past, I was happy every time I got home, because I had to take a ferry, and the ferry would always dock at the pier early in the morning. Then I would take an ox cart or a donkey cart to reach the village, and it would never be this time.

Huanxi smiled and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from my mother. How could the instigator live comfortably in a big house when my mother's place is in chaos?

I arrived early this morning and went to my eldest sister-in-law's younger brother's village first.

I scolded the couple there, and now everyone in the village should know that my eldest sister-in-law's brother and sister-in-law kicked out their parents and parents-in-law and moved in with their in-laws."

After hearing this, Lu Xiaolan felt happy and the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily.

But as an outsider, she couldn't say anything.

The old man was a little worried after hearing this: "Such a big fuss is equivalent to tearing our relationship apart. The couple have lived in Yancheng for so many years under our name.

I have been protecting my son's reputation in their village. Now that you have caused such a commotion, I am afraid I can't go back to my village. Doesn't that mean I have to live here even more?"

Huanxi said: "If I had only scolded my eldest sister-in-law and my younger brother, then it might have been as my mother said.

I just scolded the clan members, clan leaders, clan elders, and village chief who came from their village to stop the fight. I also told them that I would go to Yancheng to sue their village for being unfilial and force the old man away together.

Not only are the elderly not allowed to live with their children, and have to follow their married daughters, they are also forced to make up all kinds of lies to say that they moved to another place voluntarily.

My sister-in-law's parents only have this one son. Everyone in their village knows this. Why are you pretending to be stupid?"

The old man heard this and said, "If that's the case, even if their village takes the couple back to live with them, I'm afraid their son and daughter-in-law won't be happy about it. They're all old people, isn't that inappropriate?"

“What’s wrong?

Why should I live so comfortably in this house that my parents built with the money they saved by tightening their belts?

Why didn't they feel it was inappropriate when their family asked the eldest brother to sell the house and buy the big house in the village for his son and brothers?

Let's be honest, you're worried about this and that, which is inappropriate!"

Lu Xiaolan couldn't help but say, "Well said!" If she had such courage, she would not have endured the grievances for so many years and just left quietly.

If I wasn't afraid of being beaten and locked up by my own family, and not being able to escape after suffering a loss, I wouldn't have run away in such a cowardly manner.

Seeing him so happy and rolling up his sleeves to get to work, I couldn't help but cheer.

The old man laughed and said, "My daughter has always lacked someone to cheer for her. Now she has someone to cheer for her. She will go even crazier after hearing what you said."

Huanxi said: "Mother should have told her daughter about this earlier. She came back too late. It's really difficult to ask her to get the money back for the house. I have to think about this matter carefully."
