Suddenly, she heard someone talking in the courtyard. "Xiang 'er, you're at home?"
Yun Laohu put down his work and got up to go out.
Mi Xaing 'er thought of Wu Zhifei's words. The fewer people who knew that Yun Jingting was at home, the better.
She took a step to the side and stood in front of him. She raised her head slightly and looked into his eyes. "Don't go out."
"Ah …" Yun Jingting was stunned. "I'll go out and take a look."
"It's okay. I can handle these things myself." Mi Xaing 'er insisted stubbornly. In order not to cause trouble for him, she said, "I'll call you if I need you."
Yun Laohu narrowed his eyes and carefully observed her expression.
He saw pride and responsibility in her eyes. After a moment of silence, he compromised and stepped back to his original position. "Okay, I'll listen to you and not go out. I'll be in charge of cooking."
Mi Xaing 'er was very smart. She knew that he was willing to respect and trust her. She immediately smiled happily. "Oh, that's a good girl. I'll buy you candy later."
"Tsk, you brat."
“”
Mi Xaing 'er made a face and turned to leave.
When she entered the courtyard, she saw Mi Jianguo wearing a coarse shirt. His hands were in his sleeves and his eyes were downcast. He squatted under the big locust tree and did not dare to raise his head when he heard the noise. He looked like a child who had done something wrong.
Mi Xaing 'er walked over slowly. "Dad, why are you here?"
This question was superfluous. She knew best in her heart that in the village, no matter which family had a small matter, it would immediately be known by everyone. Tang Xiling was sent back by the police last night, so it was impossible that no one had seen her. This matter was probably the "headline" of the whole village now.
Sure enough …
Mi Jianguo slowly raised his head and stared at her with a pair of listless eyes. "Xiang 'er, I heard that Eldest Miss is back."
Eldest Miss.
Yes.
Mi Jianguo used to be a worker of the Tang family. Although he was married to Tang Xiling, he still couldn't change the way he addressed her after so many years. He always called her Miss respectfully.
Mi Xaing 'er nodded. "Yes, my mother is back."
"Is she … is she well? I heard …"
Mi Xaing 'er raised her eyebrows. "Dad, you're here to see Mom, right? Then why don't you just go in? Why are you snuggling up in the courtyard? I've heard so much that you can't stop asking."
She didn't say the second half of the sentence. She didn't sound like a man.
Mi Jianguo lifted his butt and wanted to stand up. However, when he glanced outside the door, he immediately squatted down again. He had a look that said, "I don't dare to make the decision."
When Mi Xaing 'er saw his expression, he knew what was going on. After all, they had lived together for two or three years. They knew each other very well.
He deliberately raised his voice and coughed twice. "Dad, it was Yu Hongyan who asked you to come. What's the matter? Is she trying to get some information? Why don't you dare to show yourself? Did you do something wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking …
Yu Hongyan poked her head in from outside the door. She was wearing a "really good" flowery shirt. She smiled seductively and pretended to be familiar with Mi Xaing 'er. "Yo, Xiang' er, you're talking bad about me behind my back, right? I heard everything. I won't argue with you …"
She quickly walked into the courtyard and kicked Mi Jianguo's butt. "Look at you. Can't you stand properly? You're squatting here like a watchdog!"
Mi Jianguo didn't dare to talk back. He scratched his forehead and slowly stood up. His hands were still in his sleeves as he leaned against the big pagoda tree. He still looked like a listless "slave".
Yu Hongyan continued shamelessly, "Xiang 'er, I heard that your mother is back. She's not feeling well. I'm going in to see her …"
She took a step forward and was about to enter the house.
Mi Xaing 'er immediately stopped her.
She didn't need to be polite. This person wasn't a good person at all. "My mother is back, but she's resting now. It's not convenient for her to see outsiders."
"Outsiders? Are your father and I still considered outsiders?" Yu Hongyan pretended to be concerned, but there was a hint of treachery in her eyes. "Then your mother won't leave in the future."
"Where are you going? This is her house." Mi Xaing 'er was a little impatient. She reached out and pushed her out. "Yu, you don't have to be so hypocritical. It's best if we don't have any contact with each other. You …"
Before she could finish her sentence, the door to the upper room was pushed open with a bang.
Then …
Tang Xiling ran out of the house with her hair disheveled. She was holding a broom in her hand. As she ran, she shouted, "Oh no, there's a fire! Put out the fire!"
Fu Bowen carried a basin half-filled with water and chased after her. From the looks of it, he wanted to comfort Tang Xiling. "Mom, Mom, don't be afraid. I'm here to put out the fire."
Yu Hongyan was stunned. She turned to Mi Xaing 'er in surprise. "Your mother is really crazy."
Just as she finished speaking …
She felt a whoosh in front of her eyes. Tang Xiling rushed in front of her like a gust of wind. She waved the broom and hit her head and face. "Fire, fire, fire! Burning people! Burning the house!"
Her movements were fast and ruthless. She had the "power" that a "lunatic" couldn't control. The broom danced like a wheel of fire. In just a few hits, Yu Hongyan was beaten until she was screaming in pain.
Yu Hongyan covered her head with both hands and shouted in a high-pitched voice, "Hey, hey, what's wrong with you?"
In the blink of an eye …
Fu Bowen came up with a basin of water. Pa! He waved the basin at Yu Hongyan and immediately drenched her.
Yu Hongyan quivered. She opened her mouth wide and shuddered. Her clothes were also soaked. Her hair was wet and stuck to her face. Water dripped down her chin.
Fu Bowen blinked his big innocent eyes. "Aiya, Auntie, let me tell you. My mother is always like this when she's crazy. When she says that there's a fire, I have to follow her and pour water on her. Otherwise, she'll become more and more violent. She can even tear down the house!"
Mi Xaing 'er pursed her lips and smiled.
This child …
She really didn't know what to say.
Yu Hongyan stared at him with her big round eyes. All the kindness that she had just pretended to be had flown out of her mind.
She raised one hand and slapped Fu Bowen's face. "Little rascal, you dare to pour water on me? See how I'll deal with you!"
