Chapter 19: The Desire for Strength
"Shhhh The man was frightened by Ye Han's sudden outburst, he waved his hand again and again, looking panicked, "Don't be heard." ”
The fear of the Wang family has been engraved into his bones.
The mother-in-law who was eating sweet potatoes was also taken aback, she quickly put down the sweet potatoes, pulled Ye Han with one hand, and grabbed the man with the other, and motioned for them to sit down.
"Uncle, I'm so excited, can you tell me what's going on?" The momentary anger did not help to solve the problem, and Ye Han calmed down again.
"My mother-in-law is a little related to the Wang family, and yesterday I went to the third child of the Wang family, that is, the village chief of our village, and he said it himself after he was drunk, saying that the village road in our village must be repaired, and the top must come to check. Isn't Grandma's house just on the side of the road, with a single courtyard, the location is particularly good, they have taken a fancy to this place, and they plan to find a way to get their hands on it and move the family here, so that it is easy to get in and out. ”
Ye Han frowned: "When are they going to do it?" ”
"This road will not be repaired until the beginning of spring next year, there are still three or four months before now, the Wang family will not start so quickly, but I estimate that it will not be too far, after the New Year, they should act, the new year and new atmosphere, the Wang family is quite superstitious. Hey, I really don't know what Grandma will do when that happens! ”
The man sighed heavily, the Wang family was like a tyrant in this village, how could he, an honest peasant, confront them? If you can take your grandmother to live in your own home, it will be a solution, but how can your mother-in-law agree? You must know that even if you come to visit your grandma on weekdays, you have to sneak around, for fear that the will know about it and make a fuss.
Hearing that there was still a buffer time, Ye Han's heart was temporarily relaxed, now there are nearly two months before the New Year, which means that she can still complete six rounds of tasks, and now she only hopes that some advanced tasks can be brushed out of this, so that she can accumulate enough wealth to unlock the items in the mall and help her mother-in-law tide over this difficulty, otherwise she will have to take her mother-in-law home.
But when she thought of doing this, she felt very aggrieved in her heart, why did the bad guys run rampant in the countryside to make a fortune, while the good people could only retreat and swallow their anger?
If she had great power now, without saying a word, she would go directly to the Wang family at night, break all their limbs, and see how they still bully her mother-in-law! At this time, Ye Han's heart swelled with a strong thirst for strength that he had never felt before.
Just when both of them frowned, the mother-in-law, who had been listening quietly next to her, made a move, she first patted the man's hand, then gestured a few times, and then smiled at Ye Han comfortingly and shook her hand.
The man translated with a wry smile on the side: "Mother-in-law said that it really can't be done, she will move to the land temple on the mountain when the time comes, so don't worry, hey, how many years has that temple been deserted, where can people still live!" ”
The mother-in-law patted the helpless man as if comforting, and didn't do anything more, but Ye Han still caught a trace of sorrow from the corner of her eyes, after all, it was a house that she had lived in all her life, although it was very dilapidated, but she would not be willing to be taken away by someone, but the Wang family was vicious, what could she do with a lonely old man in her eighties? There seems to be no other way out but to give up.
There was silence in the room. Ye Han opened the task interface, wanting to see if she could find some hints from it, in her opinion, the third ring task should be to solve the problem of her mother-in-law's house, so that she could avoid being bullied by the Wang family.
However, the task she saw made her stunned: fulfill her mother-in-law's final wish and take her to visit her son (limited to five days). It's not an imminent house problem, and it has to be completed in five days, isn't it...... A trace of uneasiness passed through Ye Han's heart.
"Mother-in-law, can you let your uncle tell me about your son?" Ye Han asked suddenly, breaking the silence in the room.
The mother-in-law, who was still calm even when she heard that the house was going to be taken away, was suddenly stunned at this time, and then two lines of turbid tears flowed down without warning.
This startled Ye Han, she hurriedly went over to comfort her mother-in-law, and at the same time looked at the man as if asking for help.
"This is the pain of Grandma's life. When Grandma's son was eighteen years old, he walked with the Red Army passing by, on the bridge in the east of the village, and Grandma personally saw him off that day. At that time, the Japanese came in, and Grandma's husband was killed by the Japanese, so the son had to join the army to fight the Japanese and avenge his father, but he didn't expect to go and never come back, leaving Grandma alone in the village. Later, a soldier brought a piece of iron and an address to Grandma, and there was no news after that. ”
The man paused, then continued: "I asked someone to see the iron plate, and they all said that it was a soldier's identity card, and it was usually taken off only when he died in battle. Speaking of this, he was silent for a while, and continued: "I have also seen that address, in Yun Province, thousands of miles away from here!" Over the years, Grandma has been trying to save money, save money for the journey, and want to go there to see before she dies, whether her son is dead or alive. ”
He pointed to the potatoes and plastic bottles next to the cabinet: "Look at it, Grandma has relied on these things grown in the only piece of land all these years, as well as these bottles that she usually picks up on the road in exchange for some money, but how much money can she make with these alone!" A trip back and forth to Yun Province costs at least a few thousand yuan, and Grandma has saved up for so many years, not even half of it is enough! What's even more hateful is that there are still some wolf-hearted people who bully Grandma for being old and can't see clearly, giving Grandma fake money when buying things, and taking away her real money! Speaking of this, the man's eyes were red, "And the family surnamed Wang, if they had a little conscience, Grandma would have seen her son a long time ago, where would she be so miserable, I also hate myself, so useless, I can't even help at all." ”
After saying that, the farmer in his fifties actually cried like a child.
Looking at the two people who were immersed in grief, Ye Han stood up and said categorically: "Mother-in-law, I will take you to Yun Province tomorrow!" ”
