The old lady is reborn

The proprietress had no choice, as she could see clearly what Dou Yang was thinking.

But she also had her own little thoughts. After her husband passed away, it was really difficult for her to raise the children and run the store all by herself.

Dou Fengnian was a good man, and he was from the Jingzhao Yin Police Station.

Ever since there was this unclear ambiguity between her and Dou Fengnian, and a group of people from the police station often came to her tavern to drink, all kinds of troubles and annoying people seemed to avoid her tavern.

She knew that she might have received a kind of silent protection and enjoyed the convenience brought by this protection.

She also knew that although these people in the police station would make fun of her every now and then, they were all loyal people. The reason they were happy to make fun of her, but never with any dirty words, was because she was good to Dou Fengnian.

They are happy to prove this good.

Dou Fengnian is their brother.

His wife no longer wants to live with him, and he is raising his child alone. These grown men all want to take care of him a little, and also want to bring them together.

She followed their wishes and was only focused on making Fengnian a good year. If she really was all-round and nice to everyone, and took care of everyone in this way, they would look down on her.

They admired her boldness and ability, but also sympathized with her for the difficulty of raising a child as a widow. They preferred their brothers to be cared for and favored.

The heartless and ungrateful woman left, and a loving and righteous woman appeared who liked their brothers, and the whole group was happy to see it.

Therefore, Dou Yang's thoughts seemed to be unanswered. Children, especially boys, are not good at expressing their emotions at this age.

He just loves his father awkwardly and also hopes to be loved by his father.

But those men won't support him. You are such an old son, and you still want to dominate your father? You don't want your father to live a good life? In two years, you will get married, and your father will be alone?

Not only did she know this, Dou Yang also knew it. After she expressed some concerns, those men had already leaked the secret to Dou Yang in words and deeds for the sake of their brothers.

Of course they also like Dou Yang, but they are naturally no match for the brothers who share life and death and go through one case after another together.

And they naturally only think about this from Dou Fengnian's perspective. This is almost their own perspective.

It seems that the relationship between the proprietress's son, who is younger, and Dou Fengnian is much more natural, more like a father and son.

Her child longed for fatherly love. As a mother, her heart ached every time she saw her son's eyes.

She can endure hardships, suffer the consequences, and even be looked down upon. She can also stand up to protect a little girl like Weiran, but she really can't bear the longing and envy in her son's eyes when he looks at others for having a father.

Dou Yang wanted a father, and her child wanted a father too. But he pushed his own child away and didn't let his son call him father.

Maybe Dou Yang was hurt. She knew it but pretended to be deaf and dumb. But if she didn't do it for herself and her children, would anyone do it for them?

She didn't know how Dou Yang and his son were doing recently, but she knew that after Dou Yang was slapped, although Dou Fengnian still often came to sit with her, he obviously left earlier and sometimes looked uneasy.

The proprietress also thought about being nice to the child, but in the end she found that she was just deceiving herself. She could be nice, but she could never be as nice to the child as she was to her own son.

How can it be the same? This is a child that I gave birth to and raised myself, and I raised him from a baby with my own hands.

She couldn't treat Dou Yang like her own son, but she secretly hoped that Dou Fengnian would treat her child like his own biological father.

No matter how many people think she is a good person, she has always had a good reputation, is warm-hearted and loves to help others, and is always willing to lend a hand when something happens. But she knows in her heart that she is probably sorry for Dou Yang.

Because Dou Fengnian has been shaky lately, and she can't afford to lose him now, so...

Dou Fengnian is on vacation for three days, and during these three days he probably won't come to her tavern from where he lives.

Maybe God was helping her. Her house originally had a store downstairs and people lived upstairs.

However, it rained heavily all day on the first day of the holiday, and beads of water began to drip from the attic where she and her son lived.

She thought about it, gritted her teeth, took a wooden stick and poked two holes in it, and then the rain started to pour down.

She carried her son in her arms and went to find Dou Fengnian in the heavy rain.

Dou Fengnian had never seen the proprietress and the huddled child looking so pitiful. Both of them were soaked. He hurriedly led the mother and child into the house.

After settling them down, Dou Fengnian asked the proprietress for the key to the door lock and went to her tavern in the heavy rain to take a look.

Sure enough, the place was leaking whenever it rained heavily, making it impossible for people to live there. Dou Fengnian temporarily used a funnel bucket and a bamboo pipe to divert the water from the two leaks to the ditch below. He could only wait until the weather cleared up to find someone to repair it.

But Dou Fengnian was also in a dilemma. How could he live in such a small house? He and the boss's wife had not reached that stage yet.

As he was hurrying back in the rain, he just happened to see Dou Yang coming into the house in the heavy rain, his whole body also soaked.

But when he entered the house, he found that the woman was in his father's room and the child was in his own room.

Dou Yang was stunned. He was standing in the uncovered yard. Although he was in his own home, he had no roof over his head and the rain was still pouring down on him.

Dou Fengnian entered the house behind him. When he saw this situation, he didn't know what to say for a moment. He went into the small house, carried the child to his own room and handed him over to the landlady.

But the child seemed to be amused, thinking that his "father" was catching him for a joke, and he giggled, hid, ran, and went to bed. Dou Fengnian had to work hard to catch him.

After handing the child to the proprietress, he turned around and wanted to go to the yard to take his soaking wet son to the small house, but his son was nowhere to be seen.

Dou Fengnian hurried out the door. Due to the mist stirred up by the heavy rain, he could not see his son in any direction.
