After Yun Lian got the house deed, she rented a car and rushed back to her old home in the countryside. The car drove through the dirt road in the village, splashing dust all over the road.
Yun Lian deliberately lowered the window of the car, in order to listen to the envious voices of the villagers here.
“Grandma, I’m back!”
Yun Lian kept calling out to the Old Madam as soon as she entered the house. If anyone in the family really treated her sincerely, then the Old Madam was the only one!
“Yun Lian is back!”
The Old Madam walked out of the room shakily. When she saw the car parked at the door, tears flashed in her eyes imperceptibly. She felt very gratified that Yun Lian was doing well.
A few employees of the Jing family’s shop also came back with the car.
“Hurry up and clear out the goods you’ve stored inside. If you’re late, I’ll deduct your salary!”
Yun Lian looked like she deserved a beating, but the employees of the Jing family’s shop did not dare to say anything. They quickly rented an ox cart from the village and moved the goods to the cart box by box.
“Grandma, let me show you. This is your great-grandson!” Yun Lian carried the child over to show the Old Madam.
However, the child kept crying when he saw the old lady. His two small hands were still fluttering around. It seemed that he did not like the smell of the Old Madam’s body.
The Old Madam liked to smoke whenever she was free, so it was normal for the child to dislike the smell. Yun Lian gestured for the midwife to carry the child into the house so that he could calm down first!
Yun Lian listened to the sounds of people working outside, then moved two chairs and sat down with the Old Madam in the courtyard.
……
The villagers in the village were particularly gossipy. When they saw a luxury car driving over, they all wanted to know which family it belonged to. Some women followed the car and came over. They pretended to pass by the front door of the Yun family’s house casually, but in fact, they were looking at what was happening inside!
Yun Lian naturally would not miss this opportunity to reveal to the villagers that she was living a very good life!
“Grandma, I haven’t been able to be filial to you while I was away from home. I really feel bad from the bottom of my heart!”
Although Yun Lian’s words were meant for outsiders to hear, there was still some sincerity in them.
“What nonsense are you talking about, child? As long as you can live a good life, then I’m already satisfied!”
The Old Madam’s words were true.
“Yes! My journey here could be considered a bumpy one, but now I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Life is much better now. I came back in a hurry this time and didn’t bring much cash. I’ll leave this 5,000 yuan to you, grandma. If you need anything else later, you can call me. I’ll send someone to bring it to you.”
Yun Lian took out a stack of hundred yuan notes from her pocket and placed it in the Old Madam’s hand.
At this moment, a woman ‘coincidentally’ passed by the front door of the Yun family and saw the situation inside clearly.
This 5000 yuan was the income of a farming family for almost a year. Yun Lian casually took it out as pocket money, which indeed made the women in the village envious.
“I’ve already bought the old house back. Now that my parents are living in the city, this house is temporarily empty. I hope that grandmother can help me tidy it up when you have time and not let this old house fall to dust everywhere.”
Yun Lian had other uses for keeping this house.
Just as the grandfather and grandson were chatting happily, a man and a woman carrying a hoe walked into the house.
It was Yun Qiao and Luo Chen.
Yun Lian had never seen Luo Chen before. She did not even know that Yun Qiao had joined the army.
She thought that Luo Chen was the wife that Yun Qiao had found in the village, so she went up and greeted her warmly as a cousin-in-law.
“Yun Lian, don’t talk nonsense. We don’t have that kind of relationship!” Yun Qiao quickly denied it.
Luo Chen did not deny it.
“Oh? Then who is this?” Yun Lian asked in confusion.
“This is the chief of staff of our military region. This time, she came to visit the returning soldiers. How can I be worthy of her? Yun Lian, you’d better not make such a joke next time!”
After Yun Qiao explained, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
