Looking at the man's elegant appearance, Jiang Yuanyuan glanced back, there was indeed an empty yard opposite their house, which was the house of a family in the past, and then the family moved to the city, this house occupied the land but no one paid the annual grain tax, and it was automatically confiscated, and now someone comes to live, it is nothing more than people from the county or other places who come down to live.

"Yes, I'll get it for you." Jiang Yuanyuan nodded, returned to the yard on crutches, put all the vegetables in her hand by the well, went to find a cloth bag, and went to the rice jar to hold almost two buckets of rice, thinking that since this person had no rice, he must have no vegetables, Jiang Yuanyuan took some sweet potatoes from his own house and put them in the rice, and when he walked out of the yard, the person was still standing in the same place, and Jiang Yuanyuan handed him the rice.

"Wait a minute, I'll cut some vegetables for you." Saying that, Jiang Yuanyuan quickly plucked two cabbages and picked two tomatoes, which are already the only tomatoes left in the yard, and the tomatoes will not grow anymore, and there will be no more after eating.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yuanyuan cut two more lettuces, holding this grunt dish, her crutches were put aside, it was inconvenient to walk, she jumped forward twice, and almost jumped off the dish, Jiang Yuanyuan looked at Sheng Xuan who was originally going to come, but she stood still and didn't move, she didn't think much about it, and handed the dish directly to this person after coming over with difficulty.

"Xiaosheng thanked the girl!" Sheng Xuan said in surprise.

"It's okay, we will all be neighbors in the future, take care of me." Jiang Yuanyuan said with a smile.

"I still have to thank the girl, the grace of the dripping water springs to reciprocate, the girl has helped the Xiaosheng family, this kindness will not be forgotten!" Sheng Xuan said, "Thank you to the girl like this, Xiaosheng will leave, the girl should go home and rest." ”

Jiang Yuanyuan nodded but didn't move, he looked at Sheng Xuan, but Sheng Xuan didn't mean to leave, Jiang Yuanyuan was a little puzzled, she thought was it possible to wait for herself to go back? She turned back to the house, only to hear Sheng Xuan's departing footsteps.

When I got home, I washed the dishes with my hands and feet, and as soon as I took them back to the kitchen, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother came back.

"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan!" Jiang's mother shouted outside the house, Jiang Yuanyuan put down the knife in her hand, picked up her crutches and walked out.

"Mother, I'm here."

"You kid, why did you run out in the afternoon, look at it, you're sweating." Jiang's mother heard the voice and ran over, wiping Jiang Yuanyuan's face with a towel in her hand, she pulled Jiang Yuanyuan to the house, "Yuanyuan, it's not that my mother said you, your legs are just right now, even if you are on crutches, you can't walk around, you just walk around the yard and move, don't go out, that week's mother-in-law said outside again, it's annoying." ”

Jiang Yuanyuan clenched the crutches in her hand, pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Mother, I just want to go out to breathe." ”

Jiang's mother stopped talking, she looked at her daughter's far-fetched smile, looked at her sweat on her face, looked at her stubbornly straight back, couldn't hold back her bitter tears, and wanted to rush out as if she opened the floodgates.

"Mother knows, mother knows, mother ...... Just for your grievances. Jiang's mother touched her daughter's cheek, "Yuanyuan, you go to rest and rest, my mother will cook for you, don't go around, it's really boring, just call your sister Qian to come over and talk to you." ”

As she spoke, Jiang's mother wiped her hand on the hem of her clothes, she turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the resistance at the corner of her clothes, and when she looked back, it was Jiang Yuanyuan who was pulling her clothes.

"What's the matter, Yuanyuan?"

"Mother, I ......" Jiang Yuanyuan bit her lower lip, "I want to give my family affairs back." ”

"Mother, mother, I know, I know what I'm talking about, I just think that it's come to this point, let's return the family affairs first, I think... Preserve the last bit of dignity ......"

Jiang Yuanyuan whispered, her voice getting lower and lower, getting smaller and smaller.

"Yuanyuan, mother...... It's not that my mother won't give you a refund... Mother is just ...... We don't have a choice! Although the Wang family didn't come to see you, there were also some words about medicine to withdraw from your relatives three or four times, but after all, their family didn't say that they wanted to withdraw from their relatives now, didn't they, they couldn't say, these were all rumors, they didn't want to withdraw from their relatives......" Jiang's mother gritted her teeth and said, but she seemed to know very well that her guess was untenable, "Yuan, quit your family, how can you marry in the future...... Don't you know Aunt Huang in our village! She is a living example! Do you want to be like Aunt Huang in the future, sitting in front of the door all day long and being scolded! Yuanyuan, my mother knows that it is inappropriate for my mother to do this, but this is all for your own good! ”

Smack!

Tears fell from her eyes, Jiang Yuanyuan tried to blink her eyes to blink back, "But mother, I... Even if the Wang family doesn't quit the family, even if I get married, don't I want to be chewed by people for the rest of my life, I don't want to marry like this, I don't want to marry their family, now I just don't pay attention to me, but what will happen in the future, I, I can't get stuck in hope...... Mother, I'm ......"

"Yuanyuan, mother......"

"Mother!" Before Jiang's mother's words came out, Jiang Xuan, who had been listening outside the door, stood up and knelt on the ground, "Mother, you just let your sister return her relatives, even if you can't get married, I will raise my sister in the future, I will raise my sister for a lifetime, I will protect my sister for the rest of my life, I know, I have heard what those people say about my sister, they all say that the Wang family has always wanted to withdraw from the family, but the scholar can't pull down his face, mother, you don't know how ugly they say, my sister will not be happy if she is married, and she will return her relatives, I can raise my sister for the rest of my life! Moreover, I can't say that someone will like my sister in the future, there will be someone who likes Yuanyuan, and I can't say that Yuanyuan will be better in the future! ”

"What do you know?" When Jiang's mother saw her son say this, she jumped to her feet in a hurry, she sat on the bench and wiped her tears anxiously, "If it is the worst ending, if you withdraw from your family, if no one is willing to marry Yuanyuan in the future, how can there be less gossip in the village than now, when your sister becomes an old girl, and when you become a parent in the future, your daughter-in-law can't tolerate such a big girl eating and drinking at home, what do you know, you don't understand anything!" ”

The more Jiang's mother cried, she cried more and more fiercely, she pressed her chest and cried, although she knew very well in her heart that even if she married, she would not necessarily end up well, but she still thought that she would have to marry someone, her family had been farmers for generations, she knew very well what gossip this old girl who couldn't marry, in her concept, girls grow up to a certain age to marry, and then husband and child, if they don't marry, they are not filial, and they are disobedient to their ancestors.

"Mother, mother, don't cry." Jiang Yuanyuan wanted to go forward, but she didn't stand firm in a hurry, and fell directly to the ground, she subconsciously protected her injured leg and lay directly on the ground, "Mother, don't cry, I'll marry, I won't quit my marriage, I'll marry ......"

Tears crossed Jiang Yuanyuan's pale and weak face, Jiang Yuanyuan lowered her shoulders and compromised!

"Yuanyuan! You can't ......" Jiang Xuan hurriedly came to this side, but a tall figure walked over quickly from the side and squatted beside Jiang Yuanyuan, holding his shoulder.

"Don't cry!" Father Jiang said that as soon as he spoke, the voices in the room were quiet, and they were all waiting for Father Jiang to make a final decision.

"Don't get married! This family business is dismissed. Jiang's father made a final decision, "It's the same left and right, it's definitely not good to get married, if you don't marry, maybe there will be a good result." If the child chooses not to marry, let the child live the path he chooses. ”

This last sentence was said to Jiang's mother, Jiang's mother looked at Jiang's father, and did not object anymore, but just covered her mouth and cried quietly.

"Yuan! We quit our relatives, this is the path you choose yourself, as long as you don't regret it, as long as you live well. Jiang's father patted Jiang Yuanyuan's shoulder and helped Jiang Yuanyuan up.

Jiang Yuanyuan looked at her father, nodded slightly, took the crutches given to her by Jiang's father, big tears rolled down, Jiang's father gently wiped away Jiang Yuanyuan's tears, and his calloused hands swept across the skin, which was the sense of security given by his father.

"Xuanzi, you must protect your sister!" Jiang's father looked at his son who was kneeling on the ground, "You and your sister are twins, they all say that the relationship between twins is the best, they will feel sorry for each other, feel each other's thoughts, your sister always cried for you when you were injured when she was a child, just with the tears she shed, she was wronged in the future, and she wanted you to protect your sister!" ”

"I will, Dad, I will!" Jiang Xuan said affirmatively, and he kowtowed to Jiang's father, "I will, I will definitely protect my sister, and I will definitely not let her get hurt again." ”
