"Manman, aunty was wrong. She was lying in the kang tomorrow, so we can't move. He can't do the wooden work. The Xiao family doesn't have any source of income.

Even if you don't want to go back, you should at least look at him. Do you really have the heart to see him depressed all day? "

Xiao Niang said as her eyes filled with tears. She admitted that her personality was a little bit too hasty, and that she had wholeheartedly carried her grandson, which resulted in her making a big mistake.

"Xiao Niang, didn't I leave some silver notes for your Xiao family? "You should get some people to build a new house and buy some land. There's no need to worry about food or clothes …"

She sighed, "Yuming is a stubborn child. He said that the money is yours, and no one is allowed to touch it except you."

"Manman, just treat it as an aunt begging you. Can you go home?" Xiao Niang's heart ached as she thought about her son lying alone in kang, sad and depressed.

Seeing Luo Manman not saying a word with a cold face, she became agitated and knelt on the ground with a bang:

"It's auntie's fault. Auntie doesn't expect you to forgive me, but I also clearly need you, so can you just go back?"

There was quite a commotion over here. All of the workers who were working looked over at them.

Luo Manman's eyes showed some emotions, but that did not mean she would compromise, "Xiao Niang, what are you doing? Quickly get up, are there workers watching? How can you expect me to do anything like that? "

"I don't care. If you don't go back, I won't be able to kneel." Xiao Niang began to act shamelessly.

They had truly been affected by the Qiu Family's shamelessness. How much was their reputation worth?

"Xiao Niang, can you get up first?" Xiao Niang, can you get up first? Luo Manman pulled her arm and pulled her up, seeing that she could not take it lying down.

Just like that, the two of them were pulled back and forth when they heard a ripping sound. Luo Manman's sleeves had accidentally been torn apart, revealing her shiny white arms.

What attracted Xiao Niang's attention was the bright red cinnabar on his arm.

Ya, she opened her mouth in shock. It seems like Yan Niang's words weren't false. Her daughter-in-law is indeed Huang Hua's eldest daughter. So it turns out that her son hasn't even touched her.

Sigh, such a good daughter-in-law can't even be found with a lantern, why isn't she cherishing her wife? Xiao Niang's intestines turned green with regret.

Luo Manman held onto the torn sleeves, the ancients paid attention to reputation and integrity, and revealing their arms was inappropriate, but this time she could only hold on.

"Manman, why didn't you say so earlier? "Good child, it's all aunty's fault for misunderstanding you." The more Xiao Niang looked at Luo Manman, the more he liked him.

When Luo Manman saw her burning gaze, she naturally understood. However, she disdained to prove anything to people who didn't trust her.

Those who understood her naturally didn't need to explain.

"Aunt, please get up."

Seeing that she had changed her tone and called him an aunt, Xiao Niang was elated. He stood up and said happily: "Are you willing to go back now?"

Luo Manman bent over and dusted off the dust on her knees, her tone indifferent: "Looks like First Aunt doesn't understand me, I actually never intended to stay in the Xiao Family.

He also clearly saved me and showed me kindness. I gave him banknotes to help him do many things just for the sake of repaying the debt of gratitude, so there was no affection between a man and woman.

"Therefore, I am not angry with you for your misunderstanding. Although I was very angry at the time, I can understand it if I think from your point of view."

Luo Manman's clear and pleasant voice broke Xiao Niang's heart bit by bit, "Manman, are you forgiving our aunt?"

"Alright, auntie, I still have work to do, so I won't go with you. You can leave, and you won't be able to rest at home by yourself."

After Luo Manman finished speaking, she released her. No matter how much she shrieked, she did not turn back.

Seeing Luo Manman's back that did not turn around, Xiao Niang was sad. This daughter-in-law was also a stubborn girl.

As he walked out of the courtyard in a daze, he saw a person standing in front of him.

Due to work, they were all wearing coarse clothes. Adding on the dust and paint, their clothes were naturally grayish.

But it still couldn't hide the concern in his eyes, "Aunty Xiao, how is it, is Master Luo willing to go back with you?"

Xiao Niang shook his head. His eyes were filled with tears, as if he would fall to the ground if he touched her.

Xiao Niang understood that the Xiao family was so poor that they were making a racket. Any young ladies of influential families who didn't want to marry into their family would come knocking on the door for the sake of the silver notes.

A girl like Luo Manman, who was smart enough to support herself, would definitely have a good choice. It would be wise not to return to the Xiao Clan.

She was actually unable to refute him.

"Aunty Xiao, take it easy. It's hard to not feel uncomfortable when you've come looking for her so suddenly. After she thinks it through, she'll go back.

My eyes are real, and she still loves me? It's good — you're not right, aunt, I'm not talking about you. "

Xiao Niang's face flushed red from embarrassment. "Thank you, Paddy. I will leave you to take care of those vines."

"Aunt, don't worry, I will definitely take care of you, but Aunt still stayed to rest. Master Luo is very popular, there was a young man who openly and secretly fawned over us, I'm really afraid that he would forget about you after a while."

Wang Daogu was a little worried.

"What …" How could that work? "This is my Xiao family's daughter-in-law. outsiders can forget about her. You must help me keep an eye out for her."

Xiao Niang wiped her forehead in worry. If she were to be forced into a corner, would her son be so heartbroken? What the hell was this? What was this all about?

"Aunty, don't worry. I will definitely keep my eyes peeled on this matter and try to persuade Master Luo." Wang Daogu patted his chest and guaranteed, the Xiao Niang went back in the oxcart with worry.

Xiao Yiming had been lying on the kang the whole morning, leaning against the wall. He was carving on the wood with the carving knife in his hand, and the outline of the small piece of wood that was an inch long could already be seen.

The first thing Xiao Niang wanted to do after returning to the Xiao family, despite being worn out from his journey, was to see his son and open the door a crack.

Through the gap in the door, he could see Shi Mu carving on a piece of wood. Shi Mu was in a daze; he would smile from time to time, and he would sigh silently.

Luo Manman did not go home with her, and she did not want to be disappointed too. She did not think of the words of consolation she could say, so she prepared to close the door softly with her hands.

"Mother, you're back? Why isn't anyone saying anything? Where's my wife? Is my wife back? "

The light in his eyes was as bright as stars. Xiao Niang opened the door and walked in, sighing as he looked at him.

"Child, don't think too much about it. She won't come back. She said that everything she did in the Xiao family was to repay the debt of gratitude. She doesn't have any feelings for you for a man or a woman."

Every time Xiao Niang spoke a sentence, the radiance on Xiao Yiming's face dimmed a little, as if she couldn't bear it, but she still had to say it.

Looking at her arm, there was indeed red cinnabar on it. Mother does not understand, if she really loves you, why not give yourself to you?

Foolish child, forget it. "As long as you search with all your heart, there are still many good girls. Mother won't force you, so carry this grandson of yours and let nature take its course."

"No, I don't believe that my wife doesn't have any feelings for me?" The night he left, the reluctance in his wife's eyes was real. It was all because he was stiff at the time and didn't react in time.

is smart and capable, his mind is agile, the broken Xiao Family cannot hold her back at all. She is like a golden phoenix that flew out of a ravine, a trash that doesn't even belong to the ponds, how could a country bumpkin like you be worthy of her? "

Xiao Niang's words were like knives slicing inch by inch on Xiao Yiming's heart, and once again, his heart was torn into countless pieces.

Although his mother's words were cruel, this was reality. He was not worthy of his wife, so what right did he have to use a hunger strike to threaten his mother?

He suddenly grinned and laughed mockingly.

"You should also stop thinking too much. Eat well and take good care of your body. Can you talk about this later?" Pitiful Father and Mother, Xiao Niang's tone of voice sounded close to begging.

"Alright, Mother, I'll listen to you. I'll have a good meal so that you won't worry about me."

"Aiya, is that true? That's great! You should rest for a while. Mom will cook a few more dishes for lunch and eat more." Xiao Niang went back to the kitchen to busy himself.

It was still not noon yet, but when he thought about how Xiao Yiming hadn't eaten for the past two days, he started cooking early and prepared to dig rice. Only then did he realise that the water in the water tank had run out.

"Hey, Yi Ming is injured. Can't you see that there's no water in the tank?" The water in the water tank used to be full every day.

Xiao Niang could only pick two buckets of water and leave the Xiao family, walking towards the well at the village entrance.

"Xiao Niang, fetch me some water. I'll help you." This was not about cooking lunch. There weren't many villagers who were fetching water, just a few.

Liu Shan had just finished fetching the water, and seeing the Xiao Niang putting down her carrying pole, she immediately took out a bucket of water from the well and poured it into her empty wooden bucket.

"Liu Shan, sorry for troubling you." The Xiao Niang laughed.

"Auntie, are you feeling better? These two buckets of water are also quite heavy. Why don't I help you pick them out?"

"Sigh, no need, aunty is able to pick and choose. Thank you, Liu Shan."

Just then, Sanniang brought a wooden bucket over, "Xiao Niang, I heard that two days ago, that Yan mama came again. What is she doing here? "Everyone in the village is talking about it, there are all kinds of versions …"

"What's pass on? What's there to pass on? She's here to apologize. She's here to prove that my daughter-in-law is innocent."

The Xiao Niang's expression was solemn. Why was there something wrong with the Xiao family?

"What?" Auntie Qiu, who was about to leave, answered and mysteriously went close to Sanniang's ear.

"Xiao Family Wife is also a daughter of Huang Hua? My daughter has also said that this Xiao Yiming has not consummated her marriage? "

When the new question came, the two women's mouths gaped open in shock. They looked at each other and spoke at the same time: "So Xiao Yiming could not have been human."
