Chapter 4713 Stay
The mother and daughter broke up unhappy, lying back to back on the bed, neither of them spoke first.
The next morning, Yang Huamei made breakfast and brought it to the house. Mrs. Tan had already combed her gray hair into a neat mess.
"Mom, it's time to have breakfast. I made your favorite egg fried rice." Yang Huamei said.
Tan patted the wooden box and a small bundle beside her and said, "I have packed everything and I will leave after breakfast."
Yang Huamei thought she had heard wrong, and suddenly raised her head, and saw Tan saying calmly: "I have been staying at your house for more than ten days, and it's time to go back."
If you don't go back, The old man was going to have his legs broken because he was about to be punished, so Tan thought to herself.
"Mom, did you figure it out on your own to go back, or did you go back because you were annoyed by what I said last night?" Yang Huamei asked cautiously.
Tan twitched the corners of her lips and stretched out her hand towards Yang Huamei.
Yang Huamei quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand and came over to hold Tan's hand.
Mrs. Tan pulled Yang Huamei closer and freed up a hand to stroke Yang Huamei's hair.
"Silly Mei'er, you are my daughter. The flesh that falls off your body will not make me angry with you even if you are angry with anyone." Mrs. Tan said.
Yang Huamei looked at Tan's gray hair and the wrinkles on her face, her heart moved, and she almost shed tears.
"Mother..."
She just choked up when Wang Hongquan's surprised voice suddenly came from the yard outside the house: "My father-in-law?"
Yang Huamei quickly raised her hand to wipe the moisture from the corner of her eyes, stood up and said: "Great, my father must have come to pick you up again. I'll go out and have a look..."
"Don't look, I'm in. ." Old Yangtou's voice immediately sounded at the door of the house, and people strode into the house.
"Dad, are you here to take mother home? Have you had breakfast?" Yang Huamei greeted her with a smile.
Behind her, Ms. Tan was sitting on the edge of the bed. When she heard the noise, Ms. Tan moved her buttocks and turned sideways, deliberately not looking at Old Yang head-on, and snorted in her nostrils.
Well, this is the old lady’s last bit of nagging, or raising her profile.
But she deliberately left the bundle roll and wooden box exposed for Old Yang to see. This was called giving him hope. When he climbed up the pole and coaxed her again, she half-pushed and half-heartedly agreed, and by the way, she gave him a few more shots. The conditions required him to accept defeat so that he could go home openly.
But what Old Yangtou said next made Tan think there was something wrong with his ears.
"I haven't eaten yet. I'll go to your third brother's house to eat later. I'm here to deliver clothes to your mother." Old Yang said, then he took out a big baggage roll from behind and threw it on the bed. It fell next to Tan.
Ms. Tan quickly reached out to touch the big baggage roll, which felt familiar to her hands. It contained her winter cotton clothes, jacket, cotton shoes and socks.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Yang Huamei asked in confusion, "My mother will go back later, there is no need to send clothes over!"
Behind him, Wang Hongquan came to the rescue with a smile: "Your father didn't know that your mother was going back. He felt sorry for your mother. Seeing that it was getting colder today, he was afraid that you would freeze, so he sent clothes here..."
"You are not the roundworm in my stomach, how do you know so much?" Old Yang turned his head and asked angrily. Wang Hongquan's last words were stuck in his throat, and the smile on his face froze.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward.
Yang Huamei coughed lightly and brought the topic back: "Dad, you can take these clothes back later, my mother is going back..."
"Don't reply!"
Lao Yang raised his hand and interrupted Yang Huamei's words.
"I have seen it clearly during this period, and I have figured it out. This strong-willed melon is not sweet. Since your mother likes to stay with your family, then let her stay. You, And my father-in-law, they all try their best to take care of me. It is indeed more interesting to relieve her boredom than to follow a bad old man like me, right? Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Old Yang turned to Wang Hongquan with a meaningful expression. asked.
Wang Hongquan had an indescribable feeling.
Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with what Old Yangtou said. During this period, their whole family has indeed tried their best to take care of the Tan family. But why does it always feel so weird when Old Yangtou says this?
"My father-in-law, you can't say that. Although Mei'er is the daughter of my mother-in-law, it is only natural for her to come and stay at her house, and we will do our best to take care of her. But my mother-in-law is the mistress of your old Yang family after all. Ah, I have a son, a wife, and many children and grandchildren.”
"The third child and the others say they are filial. The third daughter-in-law and the fifth daughter-in-law come to my house every now and then to visit my mother-in-law, which is inconvenient. Xu Shi is also worried. It would be better for her mother-in-law to go back and stay here next time. We’re still welcome! Or we can ask Shuanzi to pick it up, that’s fine!”
Old Yangtou looked at Wang Hongquan with cold eyes as he finished his polite words about the meal, and then twitched his lips: "You don't understand, she doesn't want to go anywhere now, she just likes to stay with your family. It's so happy here. , Hehe, old lady, do you think..."
Before he finished his question, A pillow was thrown at Old Yang's head, and what followed was Tan's yelling: "You old bastard who has eaten too much shit, spitting shit all over your mouth, get out of here, I won't even come back even if I die outside." Living with you in the east room, this is where we will end up in this life, get out of here, get out of here..."
Old Yangtou picked up the pillow on the ground and stuffed it into Yang Huamei's hand, and said with a dark face: "You have seen and heard it. Your mother is not willing to go back, so that's it."
Throw this away. After saying this, Lao Yangtou turned around and left the house.
Yang Huamei and Wang Hongquan chased him into the yard. Wang Hongquan stopped Lao Yangtou, but Yang Huamei tried to persuade him, but to no avail.
In the room behind her, Ms. Tan’s cries and curses became louder and louder. From the sound of the noise, she seemed to be smashing things.
"That's it!" Old Yangtou took one last look at the noisy room, frowned and left.
Yang Huamei and Wang Hongquan's wife and daughter-in-law were left standing there with big eyes wide open.
"Dad, I haven't understood what's going on until now? My father's attitude was not like this when he came over yesterday afternoon. He even teased my mother, but my mother didn't Give him a good face, why does he look like a different person after sleeping for one night?" Yang Huamei asked.
Wang Hongquan can’t answer this question.
"Everything must happen for a reason. You go inside first to appease your mother. I'll go to the house of your third brother and sister-in-law at the entrance of the village to see if they know anything." Wang Hongquan said.
Yang Huamei nodded repeatedly, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went their separate ways for the time being.
In the room, Mrs. Tan became so angry that she cursed the eighteen generations of the old Yang family. Then she cried and talked about how difficult it was for her to give birth to children for Old Yang in the past decades. Finally, she cried until her heart broke. I fell asleep after being tired from crying, and my breakfast was already cold...
