Run back to her parents' home
So in the past few days of dealing with funeral affairs, she had been well-behaved and obedient, afraid that if she accidentally provoked these people, her life would be gone with just a few more slaps on her buttocks.
But the more you fear something, the more it comes. After dealing with the funeral of Lao Tain Tian, another thing happened at home, and the 14-year-old little uncle ran away from home. Bai Wenli is now in a dilemma, he is the eldest in the family, and he can't take care of one thing while neglecting another.
At night when the couple was discussing something, Bai Yu Tong was also listening on the side. The couple didn't know that their daughter had this skill, and at such a young age she could already eavesdrop on adults' conversations.
"Wife, why don't you take the kid back to your parents' place for a while? You're aware of the situation at home..."
Geng Mei's heart was somewhat unhappy: "... why should this matter be blamed on our daughter, what does the child have to do with them? Your mother passed away, we are also sad, why say it is our daughter's problem, really can't understand..."
Bai Yu Xuan listened for half a day before she finally understood, it turned out that these people blamed the old lady's death on her. All because of those words - "Her eyes almost hooked my soul away".
Everyone thought the old lady's death was her own fault!
Isn't she wronged? This is obviously feudal superstition, isn't it?! Poor baby's body, can't speak, what can he distinguish for himself? It seems that this unjust black pot has been shouldered by her. Which era is this, and there aren't a few sensible people in the family?!
Taking a step back, I'm just an infant, how can I possibly win against such a powerful grandma? Where did she get such incredible abilities from? Alas, it's unjust, who made her an infant who can't even defend herself?
It's okay, even if I can defend myself, I guess no one will believe me. Once the idea is formed, it must be taken for granted first. Can't her mother, who knows in her heart, do anything about it either?
There was a deep sense of frustration in my heart, and then I heard my father's low voice beside me, "Sigh, it's no use saying anything now. You all go back to your mother's house for the time being, and wait until I find Xiao Si before coming over to pick you up. Now the family is in a mess, and my dad isn't someone who can handle things. Everything has to rely on me, so understand, okay?"
Geng Mei also felt a bit helpless in her heart and sighed "There's not much money left at home, the round-trip fare is not small..."
Geng Mei didn't want to go back to her parents' home, she was living well here on her own. At this time, going back would be a waste of money, and how could she explain it to the people at her parents' home? Besides, she would have to travel such a long distance again.
"Alright, you take everything with you. The two kids still need to be taken care of, and it all costs money. I'll borrow some from friends for now, and we can figure something out when you get back. That's settled then. You pack up tomorrow, and I'll send you off at the train station the day after. Be careful on the road, the kids are still young..."
Geng Mei spent a whole day packing at home, and the clothes of the children and hers were packed into a big bag with great difficulty. Clothes can be taken less, but daughter's underwear cannot be taken less, sitting on the train for so long, she couldn't help but sigh.
Bai Wengui borrowed a car from his friends and sent the three of them to the train, Yu Tong was covered with a cloth over her head, she couldn't see what was going on outside either.
In a daze, they got on the train. Fortunately, there was their mother with them, and she didn't cry or make a fuss either. The elder brother, Bai Haoran, could also help his mother take care of his little sister. The three of them were jostled about on the journey, but fortunately, they met some fellow townspeople on the train who helped Ge Mei take care of the children. Otherwise, it would have been really exhausting for her to bring two young children along by herself.
After a long and arduous journey, they finally arrived at their destination. Fortunately, Geng Mei's older sister lived nearby, so the three of them went to her house for help. With her and her husband escorting them back, it was much easier. Given the mountainous terrain and poor road conditions where they were, returning home was indeed not an easy task.
"Alas, you said I should let you say what's good for you, and now that you're back, you've brought such a young child on the train with you. Aren't you afraid of any accidents? Where will you go to cry then? Your family's old lady is also like this, always making trouble for her daughter-in-law when she's alive, and even at death's door, still wants to make trouble for her granddaughter. It's really as if you all owed her a debt from your past lives. Hurry up and take the child to bed to rest properly, I'll go cook dinner for you."
Although Geng Lian seemed nagging, she couldn't bear to part with her own little sister. After Geng Mei gave her son and daughter a comfortable bath, the three of them finally had a good night's sleep.
When the rain woke up, the mother and son were still sleeping. On this road, she also tried not to trouble her mother, but at this time, she felt a little uncomfortable below, kicking her legs and whimpering.
Geng Mei was probably really tired and didn't hear her daughter's voice at all. Eldest sister Geng Lian in the outer room heard the noise inside and hurriedly ran over to take a look.
"Oh no, what's wrong with our Raindrop? Come, let Auntie take a look, did you pee?"
Bai Yu Xi couldn't help but glance at her aunt with some embarrassment, feeling that she not only peed but probably also pooped. What could be done? Who made it so she couldn't speak up for herself? Her body wasn't fully grown yet, and these past two days she had already tried her best to hold it in. But after all, humans need to follow the cycle of nature, let alone a baby who still drinks milk.
Geng Lian found her niece's gaze somewhat strange, as if the child understood everything, but she also felt that maybe it was just her own imagination. She had given birth to children herself, and how could such a young child have this kind of gaze?
Yu gave the laundry to her sister to wash, and then she went out to wash clothes. If she didn't do it, her younger sister would have to do it instead. The three of them were already tired from running around all day.
Bai Haoran woke up at noon, the little guy was very spirited and leaned on her side, Mom hadn't woken up yet, he was going to take good care of his sister.
"Sister..."
Bai Yu Xian was playing with her fingers when she saw her brother wake up, staring at her with big, wet eyes that were so cute, and smiled at the little guy with an open mouth.
Geng Lian saw that her nephew had woken up and guessed that the child must be hungry, "Hao Ran, is your tummy hungry? Auntie will get you some food to eat."
"Bai Haoran nodded his little head, 'Auntie, my mom and sister are also hungry, what should we do?'"
In Bai Haoran's impression, this was usually the time when his mother fed his sister milk. However, these past few days of traveling by train had left their mother exhausted from taking care of both of them, and she probably hadn't eaten yet either.
Geng Lian smiled and stroked her nephew's short hair, thinking to herself that her second sister was really good at giving birth. One son and one daughter were both so smart and lovely, even if it was tiring, she was willing to do it with all her heart. Looking at her own three children who only knew how to play, she couldn't help but shake her head.
"It's okay, wait until you're done eating, then I'll wake up your mom to eat too. Your aunt made an omelette for you, it smells so good."
Geng Lian took out a bowl of egg custard from the pot, and the three children at home who were still playing and making trouble stared at the bowl in her hand.
She couldn't help but sigh, her family was poor and eggs were not something they could eat often, she usually took them to exchange for money to buy daily necessities.
The little girl with puffy eyes stared at me and said, "Mom, my brother hasn't had a proper meal for several days. I'll make some meat dishes for you guys later."
