C63

In the afternoon, in the hall of Ye Family second room, Qimu's family had just sent off those uninvited guests and was currently eating lunch.

"Mom, don't cry anymore. Eat. You're so hungry that you'll panic if you don't eat. Even us big guys won't be happy if you don't eat."

Qimu stuffed a pair of chopsticks into Yang Lili's bowl and urged her in a soft voice. She was calm and composed, and even had a faint smile on her face. It was as if she wasn't the one being shouted at to sink the river.

"What can I eat if you tell me? Why did you agree to let Aunt Wu go to the main hall? Which one of them would be able to make it to the ancestral hall? What are you going to do in the future? "You are deliberately not letting your mother live."

Yang Lili looked at the meat in the bowl, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt uncomfortable in her heart. In the end, she simply put down her chopsticks, and the sound shocked her to the point that the large bowl on the table started to move.

"What can I do? "Aunt Wu, what can I do?"

Looking at Yang Lili's sad face, Qimu suddenly felt angry. She chewed up the food in her mouth, then spoke slowly with a cold expression. Her voice was calm, but there was a slight chill in it.

After all, he couldn't just let Aunt Wu continue causing trouble, right? Regardless of what happened to the black and white, she would carry the stain of her entire life. The more she painted the stain, the darker it would become. Perhaps one day, she might truly become a weapon that could take her life.

Rather than a frog being boiled in warm water and having neither life nor death, it was better to tear off all face from the start and have everyone come to a clear conclusion. Or perhaps, she might as well just jump into the river and have a good time.

Of course, she would not choose the last one. Caogen's death was indeed her fault, but it was not to the point of exchanging life for death. It was a rare chance to live again, so how could other people 'guide' her life?

Yang Lili paused in her crying when she heard this. She looked at Qimu with a hint of disbelief in her eyes. When had her Mu ever said such words? Thinking like this, his heart was torn apart as tears flowed like spring water. He could only say:

"You guys go ahead and eat. I have no appetite, so I'm going back to my room to lie down for a while."

Looking at her back, Qimu was no longer as gentle and moving as before. At this moment, there was more grief and helplessness circling around her. Qimu's long and perky eyelashes could not help but tremble slightly as she lowered her head and faintly said:

"Let's eat, we'll give mom some hot spots later."

As usual, her movements were graceful as she continued eating. It was unknown what expression was on Qimu's face. Her left cheek was as scarred as a centipede. It seemed to be alive as it moved around every corner of her body, looking gloomy.

Ye Dazhuang glanced at Qimu a few times, then stuck his head out the door, revealing a look of annoyance and self-blame. After a while, he forced a smile at Seven and said in a low, powerful voice,

"My daughter, you don't have to be afraid. Your father is here."

Whoever dares to bully you, I'll fight with her!

Qimu raised her head and looked at Ye Dazhuang with a faint smile. In Qingyun's calmness, it was as if she had made an oath. She nodded and with a surge of power in her heart, she said:

"Yes."

Father and daughter, smiling at each other, tender feelings spreading through the small and run-down hall, no matter what, I will be your strongest backing, home will always be here, embrace will always be waiting for you.

"..."

Qimu cleaned herself up and was about to leave with Ye Dazhuang. Under the witness of the crowd, she confronted Aunt Wu and retorted, but unexpectedly, Yang Lili, who had been crying her head off after lunch, rushed out of the house. She stuffed a bag into Qimu's bosom and grabbed Qimu's arm as she anxiously said:

"Mu, don't go, it won't be good even if you go. I've already packed all the things for you, our family's silver is in this bag. Take it, leave this village and avoid the limelight. Don't go to the ancestral hall, let's not go anymore?"

The last sentence was almost a plea.

Qimu looked at Yang Lili's sorrowful face, and her heart almost broke when she heard this. She felt pain in her nose, and tears just fell down her cheeks. Qimu bit her lips and tried her best to control her emotions, maintaining a stiff smile on her face.

"Motherf * cker, can you stop messing around?"

"We have to go to the hall. We have to tell everyone about Caogen. We can't blame our daughter for this. Our daughter did it out of good will. Otherwise, there would be no more problems …"

"If you don't go to the ancestral hall, then let this matter drag on. It's just us living our days here, but what will we do in the future?" No matter what, we cannot let our daughter be wronged like this! "

Looking at Yang Lili's expression, Ye Dazhuang sighed. He walked forward and gently hugged her delicate body, then leaned on her, wiping away the tears on her face with his rough and thick hands. His tone was sweet and helpless as he patiently explained.

"But, that's the ancestral hall, a place that's not meant for big things. I've never been there once in my life, but I, Mu, am still so young, and I have to …"

"I'm scared, I'm really scared. If those elders in the hall really listen to that b * tch from the Wu family and want to take Mu's life, what are we going to do?"

"When that time comes, we won't be able to escape anymore. Do you remember that little wife of yours back then? The concubine that the Li Family accepted, at such a young age, even if she went to the ancestral hall, she would have been dipped in a pig cage! "

"I don't want me, Mu, to go to that hall too. Even after leaving the Niu Village, we can still live. Worse come to worse, we can just change our family to another place to live …"

Yang Lili half fell into Ye Dazhuang's arms, sobbing out the deepest worry and fear in her heart. From time to time, she would look at Qimu with eyes that emitted the love and fear of a mother through that layer of water.

Qimu took a deep breath, hugged the bag tightly, and said slowly:

"Mom, I'm just going to the ancestral hall to tell the elders about the incident with Caogen, that's all. I'm not going to ask them to judge me for my crimes."

"We just need to let the villagers understand and not believe the rumors. That's why they agreed to Aunt Wu's words and went to the ancestral hall. Mom, you don't have to worry, I'll be right back."

"What are you talking about? My family's foundation is all here. How can you just abandon me like that? If grandpa knew, he would be furious."

At the end of her speech, Qimu began to believe that she was only going to visit the ancestral hall for a day. However, this was not the case. One of the words that Aunt Wu had said was very true:

In this era, a boy was far more precious than a girl. If a boy died because of a girl, it would be a normal thing for the girl to be buried with him. No one would feel that something was off.

Yang Lili's worry wasn't without reason, but Qimu had to go to the ancestral hall for a reason.
