Chapter 18 Finding Out What Happened

Hearing that someone was coming, Ye Han put on her mask and hat again, her mother-in-law patted her hand gently, shook her head with a smile, and signaled that it was okay, and then she got up and walked to the door, but the ground was uneven and she stumbled, Ye Han hurriedly stepped forward to help her go.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw a person standing outside, this is a middle-aged man in his fifties, tall and thin, with messy hair, I know that I haven't taken care of it for a long time, and at the bottom is a weathered face, the deep lines of the road are engraved with the difficulty of life, and it also reveals the unique simplicity of the peasant, wearing an old cotton coat that does not fit very well, perhaps because the person is too thin, so it looks empty.

At this time, he was carrying a steaming plastic bag in his hand.

The man looked at Ye Han beside his mother-in-law and felt very surprised, although he couldn't see it clearly, but when he looked at this figure, he gave people an extraordinary feeling, just like watching a female star on TV, very temperamental, but this temperament is by no means comparable to any female star, if the female star gives him the feeling of a yellow bird on the branch, then the girl in front of him is a phoenix on the plane tree, just standing there makes him feel ashamed.

The mother-in-law pointed at Ye Han, and then gestured to the man, the man kept nodding, and when the mother-in-law finished the gesture, he raised his head and said to Ye Han shyly: "Girl, thank you for sending Grandma home, I was worried about it just now." After saying this, he looked back with some concern, and then said, "Let's go in and talk, so that we will not be seen by my mother-in-law." ”

When the three of them entered the house, the man put the plastic bag in his hand on the small table, revealing three steaming sweet potatoes inside.

"Grandma, this is my freshly baked sweet potato, you eat it while it's hot, girl, you can taste it too, it's very sweet, but I don't know if you are used to eating it." There was a little embarrassment in his tone, as if it was a very embarrassing thing to invite Ye Han to eat sweet potatoes.

What a simple peasant man.

"Thank you, uncle, my favorite thing to eat is sweet potatoes, but I have a toothache these days, and the doctor said that I can't eat sweets, hey, I'm so embarrassed!" Ye Han couldn't take off his mask in front of him, so he had to refuse politely.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I should say I'm sorry." The simple peasant man took the responsibility on himself.

At this time, the mother-in-law gestured to the man, and then the man patted the mother-in-law's hand, paused and said, "Grandma, aren't there just a few sweet potatoes?" It's okay, you've grown up watching me! Come, eat it while it's hot, and I'll peel one for you. As he spoke, the man picked out the largest sweet potato, carefully peeled off the upper half, and then carefully stuffed it into the hands of his mother-in-law, who took the sweet potato and began to eat it, because she had no teeth, so she ate very slowly.

On the other side, Ye Han took the opportunity to learn about his mother-in-law's situation.

"Uncle, can you tell me the story of your mother-in-law?"

The man was unsuspecting of Ye Han, and he began to tell the story: "What is Grandma's name, in fact, I don't know, I have been called Grandma and Grandma since I was a child." When I can remember, my mother-in-law was in her forties, and she was very fond of children at that time, always putting some candy in her pocket, and giving one to a child when she touched it. But the older generation of people said that she was a broom star, born a mute, and killed her husband and son, as long as people close to her would be killed by her, so the family told us not to go near her, and also said that she was neurotic and would catch children to eat. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "At first, I also believed it, because we were neighbors, so I was more afraid, and never dared to get close to her for half a step, until one day, I accidentally fell into the mountain pond, it was Grandma who jumped into the water and pulled me up desperately, if it wasn't for Grandma, my life would have been gone." ”

Speaking of this, the man stopped, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and habitually wanted to light it, but after looking at Ye Han, he immediately stuffed it back and put it away, and continued: "From then on, I began to know that Grandma is a good person, and she just misses her son too much, so she will do some abnormal behaviors." She spends a lot of time on the bridge at the head of the village every day because it is on this bridge that she sees off her son, and she gives sugar to the children because she misses her son. ”

"But I know what's the use of this, others won't believe what I say as a child, and there are some people who don't know the real situation, but everyone spreads it like this, and they don't dare to stand up against it, so Grandma is isolated by everyone, only me, often sneak to her house and talk to her, so now Grandma knows what she wants to say with a few gestures."

"Later, there was a natural disaster, and after the natural disaster, there was a famine, and many people died, but the lonely grandmother survived, which is quite amazing to think about. Later, life got better, and I grew up, and I could help my grandma from time to time, but I was a wretch! ”

Speaking of this, the man couldn't help but sigh! Obviously, there was an unspeakable reason, Ye Han didn't ask, but changed the topic and said: "Uncle, doesn't the country now have a minimum guarantee for lonely and widowed old people like mother-in-law?" Why is my mother-in-law's house still like this? Ye Han pointed to the wall surrounded by nylon cloth.

A look of panic suddenly appeared on the man's face, and he reflexively looked around for a moment, and then lowered his voice and said in a very thin voice: "This is to blame the people of the Wang family!" ”

"People from the Wang family?"

"Yes, the people of the Wang family, that is, the village party secretary of our village, their family of three brothers, plus several sons and sons-in-law, occupy all the important positions in the village, the village head, the village party secretary, the accountant, and the director are all people of their family. They swallowed all the money in their stomachs. The man said hatefully, "The living security money for old people like Grandma has all fallen into their pockets." ”

Ye Han frowned, and said coldly: "It's done so blatantly, doesn't anyone care about them?" ”

"Who dares to care? If there is no one above, where can their Wang family be powerful in this village for more than ten years! A few years ago, someone in the village went to the county to complain, but when he came back, he was beaten by the Wang family in front of everyone, and the town police station didn't care about it, and then no one dared to stand up against the Wang family. ”

"It's really disgusting!" Ye Han didn't expect that there would be such a village bully around her, you must know that her hometown is also an economically developed area, coupled with the developed Internet, and the people's thinking is relatively advanced, in her consciousness, this kind of thing of village bully generally occurs in remote areas where the economy is backward and the thinking is relatively ignorant.

"What's even more odious is that now they have taken a fancy to Grandma's homestead!"

"What?" Ye Han stood up angrily!
