Before leaving, He's mother sent Sun to the carriage. Because of the 'hope' brought by Yang Ruoqing, He's mother was a little more energetic than before. She held Sun's hand and walked in and out of the carriage.

Speak kind words.

Yang Huazhong and Yang Huazhou didn't want to participate, so they sat on the carriage and waited patiently.

After Yang Ruoqing got on her horse, she turned around and saw that Xiao An, who was walking at the back, was still talking to He Lian'er at the courtyard gate, pointing at the surrounding courtyard walls and making gestures.

It seemed that he was telling He Lian'er to pay attention to some safety issues in her daily life.

One gave instructions strictly, and the other listened carefully. The figure of the two standing side by side... is so beautiful, it looks like love.

"Where's Lian'er? Why don't you come over to see her off?"

Mother He suddenly realized that her daughter was missing. She quickly turned around and shouted into the yard. The beautiful scene in the yard was broken.

He Lian'er and Xiao An came out together. He Lian'er was quickly called by He's mother to say goodbye to Sun and the others, while Xiao An sat on another carriage.

Under the gazes of the mother and daughter of the He family, the Yang family slowly left. It wasn't until they completely disappeared from sight that He Lian'er helped Mother He and turned back to the yard.

After entering the courtyard, He Lian'er turned around, closed the courtyard door tightly, and locked the heavy door bolt.

Mother He was a little surprised when she saw her daughter doing this.

"Lian'er, why do you close the courtyard door so tightly under the clear sky?"

Mother He stood on tiptoe and glanced at the yard diagonally across the street. She had been living here for a few days, and there was a sister-in-law diagonally across the street who was quite enthusiastic. She even sent a few eggs over last night.

"Isn't it okay to close it at night? Besides, there are other families living next door. Maybe some neighbors come to visit. Since we live here, we need to have a good relationship with the surrounding neighbors to avoid being isolated..." Mother He said again. Mother He

In fact, He Lianer had already guessed what he was thinking.

If it had been before her father's accident, she must have had the same idea as her mother. Just like when she returned to her hometown of Tianba Village, she worked hard to build a good relationship with the aunts and sisters-in-law in the village. No matter who greeted her on the road in the village,

She will respond politely and try her best to leave a good impression on others.

But what happened in the end?

The Wang family's bullying came to her door. The aunts and uncles who greeted her on the road and by the pond, and curiously inquired about their family's affairs in Qing'an County. In addition to satisfying their own curiosity, they showed no sympathy or enthusiasm.

nothing!

If someone had stood up and said something fair that day, or tried to mediate a few words, the trouble would not have turned into what happened later.

Therefore, He Lian'er no longer has any hope in the relationship between neighbors.

These people were initially curious about the newly moved residents, talking about them and looking at them. Then they used the information they learned as conversation materials, and it was distorted in the dissemination...

"Mom, we don't want to let the aunt across the door come to visit us. That aunt is a talkative woman. It's no good for me to deal with her. Instead, she spreads our family's affairs everywhere!"

"Ah? Isn't this... not good? We will be isolated..." He's mother looked worried.

He Lian'er stopped and looked at her mother seriously, feeling a little sad.

In the past, when my brother was alive, although my mother was also a passionate woman, she took care of the shop, greeted customers coming and going from north to south, and had a very heroic temperament. Compared with those neighbor women who were talkative and pretentious,

Or when dealing with relatives, my mother knows right from wrong and has her own opinions and principles.

When did your mother start to lose her confidence, be cautious, and feel inferior and cowardly in front of others?

Was it the moment when her brother had an accident and she lost her son in middle age?

The elder brother left, taking away the confidence of his mother-in-law.

But, you still have a daughter!

"Mom, back in Tianba Village we were careful to maintain good relations with the villagers, not daring to offend anyone, but what happened?" He Lian'er asked.

result?

Mother He bit her lip in grief and anger, and suddenly tightened her grip on the handkerchief.

"Mom, let's live our own lives behind closed doors. Brother Xiao An will help us if anything happens. We can't count on these neighbors who appear halfway."

"Take the lady delivering eggs diagonally opposite. Do you think she is really warm and simple?"

"That's wrong, she just saw that we had just moved here and was just curious, so she brought a few eggs and came over to inquire about the news from us. Oh, by the way, speaking of those eggs, I almost forgot to mention that this afternoon I was planning to

I used the eggs she sent me to stir-fry. When I cracked open four of the eggs, three of them were smelly. Although the other one was not smelly, it was filled with red blood and I couldn't eat it at all!"

"Ah? Is there such a thing?" He's mother was shocked, with anger on her face.

He Lian'er softened her tone again, and helped Mother He walk into the house and said, "Only those who help us like the uncles and aunts of the Yang family are really good to us. The other neighbors who come with their mouths and eyes to join in the fun,

They are all hypocritical, don’t fall for their deception.”

"Besides, brother Xiao An is just temporarily placing us here to help dad recover from his injuries. Sooner or later we will have to move away. Since we have to be separated from these people anyway, there is no need for us to deliberately make friends, mother, don't you think so?

"

What He Lian'er said left Mother He speechless, but she really felt it made sense in her heart.

"Lian'er, you have grown up and become sensible. You see these things more clearly than I do!" He's mother held He Lian'er's hand tightly and sighed.

"It would be great if you were a son..."

He Lian'er didn't like hearing this.

"Mom, you're here again, what's wrong with my daughter? Can't my daughter support the family and support you and my father until they die?"

She took her hand back from Mother He's hand and said with a serious face: "I have already made an agreement with Uncle Yang Wu and Brother Xiao An. After a few days, I will go to Tianxiang Building to do odd jobs. From now on, I will make money to support you."

You and my dad."

"Going to Tianxiang House? Isn't it convenient for a girl like you to go to a restaurant where people are welcomed and dropped off?" He's mother didn't agree very much with this idea.

He Lian'er smiled, "I knew you would say that, mother. Don't worry, mother. Uncle Yang arranged for me to help cut and prepare vegetables for the chef in the backyard kitchen. There is no need to go to the front hall for that errand, and

I can also learn skills from the chefs there. When my father’s leg heals and our family opens a morning tea shop, I can be my own boss. How great!”

Mother He breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that she didn't have to go to the front.

In the past, when there was morning tea at home, He Lian'er would stay in the backyard kitchen to help out most of the time.

"Lian'er, you are going to suffer. It's because we are useless parents and have dragged you down..."

"Mom, what are you talking about? You raised me and I will provide for you in your old age. It is only natural."

He Lian'er looked serious, "Besides, I don't want our family of three to just lie down and sit around waiting for Brother Xiao An to take care of us. I want to go out and do something by myself, so that I can feel at ease and relieve Brother Xiao An's worries."

burden."

"It's just that since I went to Tianxiang Tower, I can't stay with you and my father every day. I can come back every six or seven days. Then it will be more difficult for my mother to be at home with my father."

Mother He shook her head, "You kid, compared to you working outside, Mom is not tired at home at all. Don't worry, you can work down-to-earth in the restaurant. It is the Yang family's restaurant, so your father and I can rest assured too!"
