When the villagers saw this, they naturally talked about the Xu family, “Tsk, tsk. Look, you’re not as smart as the two of them. They look stupid but are smart. When they saw that the Guan family was about to become rich, they rushed over early…”
Another person laughed at them. “Oh, but they would be pecked in the end. The two of them sucked up to the wrong person. What can that Ye Lulu, a beggar who wandered over, do? That stall was set up only for a few days. How laughable. In my opinion, a young wife should be at home taking care of her children. She’s so ambitious and even wants to go out and do business.”
The villagers were jealous and gradually ignored the fact that someone was causing trouble at Ye Lulu’s stall. They said that she couldn’t continue setting up her stall anymore because of incapability.
The mocking laughter from the village toward the Guan family, especially toward Ye Lulu, became stronger.
Every time Ye Lulu entered the village, there would be people mocking her. It was blatant mockery.
Ye Lulu ignored them all.
It was dark tonight, and the entire sky felt oppressive.
The continuous mountain range was especially quiet as if there was no sound at all. Wind blew past, causing the leaves to rustle.
On the side of Yunwu Village in the mountains, it was also quiet. The entire village sat in the mountains, looking exceptionally quiet.
The aura tonight was unusual.
All the experienced elders said, “It’s going to rain.” It was spring, so there would naturally be spring thunder and spring rain. They had their families put away their clothes early and strengthened the windows. They entered their houses and did not come out again.
The world seemed to be getting more oppressive, and the aura was getting heavier. Indeed, it was about to rain. Even Mother Rong and the rest quickened their pace and rushed back to the Guan family. They quickly ate and washed up before entering the house.
The sky was dark and heavy. There was no sound at all. After the most terrifying silence, there was a loud bang and a muffled thunderclap in the sky.
It was indeed spring thunder.
It was indeed going to rain.
“Crack—” Lightning flashed among the dark clouds, and there was a sudden downpour in the sky. Perhaps it was strong in its own right, but this rain carried a strong wind and was not small.
Together with the deep mountain range and silence, it seemed a little terrifying.
It was raining cats and dogs, and many leaves had been knocked down. This night rain was so heavy that every family stayed in their houses. There was no one in Yunwu Village.
However, at this moment, at the Tian family’s house at the end of the village.
Ever since Tian Laoqi divorced Auntie Tian, there were no women in the Tian family anymore. Even if Auntie Tian was usually lazy, she would still clean up the house. However, it was different for Tian Laoqi. Even if he wanted to clean up, he didn’t know how to do so. Therefore, the Tian family was even more chaotic than before. Their belongings were placed everywhere, and they looked very messy.
Tian Laoqi also had to take care of the child, Tie Wa, alone. Speaking of which, it was quite amazing. Sometimes, men were the masters because women carried the responsibilities. He did not have to bear much responsibility himself.
Tian Laoqi was lazy in the past, but now that Auntie Tian was no longer around, Tian Laoqi became much better. There was no choice. He had to provide for his son. If he didn’t do work, Tie Wa would have to starve.
Therefore, Tian Laoqi had been going to the city to work lately and was not around all day. Sometimes, Tie Wa would be locked in the house to eat steamed buns and drink water. He would only let Tie Wa go when he returned, afraid that something would happen to him if he ran out.
In the end, he couldn’t take it anymore.. Tian Laoqi could only send him to his neighbor’s house.
