C51 Plugging

Then, she struggled to remember the brick bed below her. Aunt Xiao quickly stopped her. "My son, you forgot. Your legs aren't good. You're not allowed to get off the brick bed. Lie down well."

Yanniang saw that the originally handsome Xiao Yiming was now as thin as a twig. His eyes were dull and his cheeks sunken. He was completely unlike the handsome and spirited look he had before.

He thought to himself, 'Is this guy really infatuated?' Xiao Family had truly met a noble, and would trouble her to settle such a small matter personally.

"Um, Aunt Xiao, Xiao Yiming, I came here today to apologize." Qiu Ju, who was standing beside him, seemed to have realized that Yanniang might reveal some secret.

With an unhappy expression, he stopped her, "Woman, you're really thick-skinned. Is it appropriate for you to barge into a man's house like that?"

Yanniang smiled obsequiously. "This lady has misunderstood. What I want to say today is about Luo Mannmann."

Qiu Ju rolled her eyes, "The people from Xiao Family already know about Luo Mannmann's situation, there's no need for you to add to it. You're not welcome here, where did you go from?" After which, he pushed the person out of the door.

attendant, who was at the side, instantly got anxious. He pointed at Qiu Ju and shouted, "This village girl is really vulgar. My mammy came to apologize. What is apology? Do you understand? I just came here to apologize. "

Hearing that, Qiu Ju's face changed. Just as she wanted to speak up, Xiao Yiming shouted, "Qiu Ju, didn't I tell you to leave? Why aren't you leaving? When did it become your turn to criticize Xiao Family? "

Xiao Yiming coughed a few times in frustration. He didn't know what his mother was thinking, asking Qiu Ju to take care of him all the time. Wasn't this adding fuel to the fire?

Qiu Ju, who was scolded by Xiao Yiming in front of everyone, immediately bit her lips and ran out in an aggrieved manner.

"That Qiu Ju …" Aunt Xiao shouted from behind. When she saw Xiao Yiming staring at her, she awkwardly retracted her leg that she originally wanted to follow.

The atmosphere was too oppressive. Mammy Yan only wanted to make things clear so she could leave as soon as possible: "That thing was like this, I was entrusted by someone to tell you that Luo Mannmann didn't sell herself. Before she sold it to Xiao Family, she was still Huang Hua's daughter."

Mammy Yan couldn't help but look at Xiao Yiming as she said in consideration, "I say young man, you are quite strange. Don't you know that your own wife is innocent?"

"Cough …" Xiao Yiming, who knew the truth, started to cough intensely. His face turned red and a few words came out from his pale lips: "I haven't slept with my wife yet."

"What?" "How is that possible?" Aunt Xiao was stunned as she mumbled in disbelief. She had heard about her son's background, so how could she not have a marriage contract?

Aunt Xiao looked at Yanniang who was blabbering nonstop, and her heart was a little angry. It was this woman who destroyed the calmness of her Xiao Family.

Now that she was talking nonsense again, she could not help but shout at her, "Who the hell did you get this benefit from? You came here to talk nonsense. You can get out of Xiao Family now. "

Mammy Yan couldn't help but get angry when she kept pushing Mammy Yan out the door. Who did she offend to be so disregarded by others?

If not for her interest in money and someone's threats, she would not have bothered to come to this crappy place. "Anyway, I've already told you the truth. It's up to you to believe it or not."

With that, Aunt Xiao's face froze and her emotions became complicated.

Of course, she hoped that Luo Mannmann was innocent and that her Xiao Family was harmonious. However, she did not admit that she had done anything wrong.

Adding to the fact that Qiu Ju had been following behind the Xiao Family, she seemed to prefer Qiu Ju.

"Thank you, Mammy Yan. Take care." Xiao Yiming's deep eyes flashed, and his bloodless face raised a smile.

None of this was important. What was important was that there was a reason for him to bring his daughter-in-law back in broad daylight. However, the key was that his leg was inconvenient. Xiao Yiming truly hated himself for his incompetence at this moment.

Aunt Xiao was still in a daze after Mammy Yan got on the carriage and left. She now regretted her impulsive action. She had even slapped Luo Mannmann on the face.

She couldn't bear to lose her face by going to fetch her daughter-in-law.

"Mother, you heard what Mammy Yan said just now. In the future, go and apologize to your wife at Wu Town and have her come back." Hope flashed in Xiao Yiming's eyes as his expression soared.

"About that, you go lie down and rest for a while. We'll talk about the future later." Aunt Xiao's perfunctory reply caused Xiao Yiming to sink into endless disappointment and darkness.

"Wifey." Xiao Yiming murmured softly. He recalled every single detail when he was together with his wife. Every single one of them was filled with warm and happy memories.

These were the happiest days of his life, and no matter if she was dark or thin, or if she had turned white, he was always the same.

He also did not understand why he would be able to tell a person's identity so easily. Perhaps, it was all fate.

It wasn't that Aunt Xiao didn't see the loneliness in her son's eyes after hope had fallen. This made her feel both heartache and helplessness.

Not to mention if Yanniang's excuse was true, she couldn't bring herself to care for her son's feelings. She recalled that her son had told her that he had never touched Luo Mannmann before. Could it be that her son was inhumane? Pui, how is this possible?

In the evening, Aunt Xiao prepared dinner and carried the food into the house. What were Xiao Yiming's carvings of in On the Kang?

When he walked in, he found that he was holding a knife and was engrossed in carving an inch long piece of wood.

Aunt Xiao was afraid that he would be too free, so she intentionally placed a few tools and wood carvings at the edge of the crater to ease his worries.

"Yiming, your legs aren't nimble, so don't worry about the woodwork for now. Mom made your favorite steamed fish, but it's nutritious now. Come and have a taste."

Xiao Yiming didn't even look at the dishes on the table. He remained indifferent to the fragrance of the steamed fish in the bowl.

His hands continued to busy themselves, and his gaze towards Aunt Xiao became firmer. "Mother, take it. I don't want to eat it."

"Why don't you want to eat it? Don't you like eating steamed fish the most? If you eat that little bit at noon, you should be hungry by now. Come, you can do it anytime you want.

Aunt Xiao went to grab the wood from him and put the bowl into his hands.

Xiao Yiming put the bowl down and said with his back facing her, "If you don't bring your wife back, then your son won't eat for the whole day."

"You … It seems that you believe in the words of an outsider and do not believe in your own mother either.

Aunt Xiao was so angry that her chest was heaving up and down while the corners of her mouth curled up in anger. The son she raised was truly capable, daring to threaten her.

Xiao Yiming's pale lips twitched, "No matter what, this is mom's fault, so I should apologize to my wife and bring her back. Don't let a woman like her suffer outside."

Seeing that Aunt Xiao did not say anything, Xiao Yiming continued to refuse to eat or drink his medicine, using his actions to protest.

Aunt Xiao's heart was filled with rage. She looked at his pale face that was filled with sickness and was reluctant to scold him.

The next day, Aunt Xiao still packed Old Uncle Zhang's oxcart to go to Wu Town.

After arriving at the Mo Residence, she was naturally shocked by the luxurious mansion. As a women, she had never seen the real world, and if not for Wang Daogu bringing her in, she would really be making a joke out of it.

After Aunt Xiao entered, she looked like Grandma Liu who was strolling around the Grand View Garden. As she walked, she couldn't help but take a few glances at the fake mountains, flowing water, flower beds, butterflies, pavilions, and even the cobblestone paths beneath her feet.

This was too luxurious, just like a fairyland. Rich people's lives were just like this, living in such a big house with many servants. If it wasn't for Wang Daogu leading the way, she would really be lost.

The two of them walked through the winding corridor and arrived at an abandoned courtyard. Wang Daogu pointed at Luo Mannmann who was busying herself not far away and said, "Aunt, Master Luo is over there. Did you see her?"

"I see. Paddy, thank you. Go get busy."

"Ai, alright. Aunt, let's talk first. You can call me if you need anything." After Wang Daogu finished, he quickly went back to work.

The last time he had a fight with the workers, everyone was watching him. For this job, he had to be more careful. After all, the treatment here was very generous and he couldn't lose this income.

Although she had prepared in her heart, Aunt Xiao's heart was still filled with panic. She felt uncomfortable watching her snatch whatever she had to do, no matter how dirty or tiring it was.

After hesitating for a moment, she opened her mouth and called out in a heavy voice, "Mannmann."

Luo Mannmann was currently helping to paint when she heard the familiar voice. She turned around indifferently and saw Aunt Xiao rubbing her hands together with an awkward expression on her face.

"Aunt Xiao, why are you here?" She addressed Aunt Xiao, not the aunt, and her tone was polite and unfamiliar.

"Mannmann ah, I heard you work hard here?" I just came to see you? "I'll see how you're doing then." Aunt Xiao pursed her lips, trying to figure out what to say.

"I'm doing pretty good. My boss is looking after me." Luo Mannmann dismissed her with a word and turned back to her work.

"That … Mannmann, you've been out for so long. When are you coming home?" Aunt Xiao took a few steps forward and braced herself.

"Go home? Wu Town is my home, I plan to settle in here now. "Aunt Xiao, if there's nothing else, please leave first. I'm quite busy over here."

Aunt Xiao looked at her repentant expression and said regretfully, "Mannmann, it's the aunt's fault. The aunt shouldn't have hit you and scolded you without asking any questions.

"Mammy Yan came to my door to tell me the truth. You are a good girl, but I am in the wrong. Go home, Yiming is still anxiously waiting for you."

"Aunt Xiao, the words that come out are like spilled water. How are we to take them back?"

"I... You can blame me, you can't forgive me, but what about Yiming? Don't you care about him anymore, and don't you care about his life? "

"Yiming is your son, aren't you supposed to take care of him? Besides, there are too many people who want to be Mrs. Xiao, so why do you have to beg me?" Luo Mannmann saw her unwillingness and pointed her finger at him.
