"Xiao Tao, listen to Great Grandmother, don’t run around. Grandma will buy you a toy gun when she returns." The woman bent down to caution the little boy, glanced at Granny, "Mom, I’m leaving."
"Ni’er, what exactly happened?" Granny frowned, "These kids are not outsiders. No need to hide it from them."
"Mom..." The woman hesitated for a moment, "Xiao Tao’s dad was taken away, his mom got ill from stress, and his Grandpa and I are thinking of going to Pozi to... get his dad out."
"Why was he taken away?" Granny, who was normally loud, suddenly raised her voice, causing everyone to rub their ears. Xiao Tao slapped Granny, "Don’t bully my Grandma!"
"Xiao Tao, how can you speak to Great Grandmother like that?" Granny’s daughter slapped her grandson and looked at Granny, "Mom, Xiao Tao’s dad was wrongly accused. The village is starting greenhouse farming, and Xiao Tao’s dad thought that since there’s no use for the cow anymore, we might as well sell it while the price is high.
The night before last, he took the cow on the road late at night. Who knew at the market, someone insisted that the cow was stolen. You tell me, it was clearly our cow. How can it be stolen?
In the end, things escalated, and Xiao Tao’s dad was captured as a cow thief. Calls were made to the brigade, and Xiao Tao’s mom and granddad went to the Police Station two days ago. The official said if we want him released, we need to pay two thousand yuan as ransom, or else he will be locked up for two months.
Mom, that place isn’t fit for people! His dad and I gathered all the money we had and borrowed some more, thinking of getting him out today."
"What a sin!" Granny angrily slapped the edge of the bed, "If you take the money, you’re admitting Tao’s dad is a thief! That cow was ours for three years, how could it be stolen? Is there no law anymore? Is it not the munist Party’s rule anymore?"
"Mom, we ordinary folks can’t argue these points. The longer we fight, the longer the child suffers inside." Granny’s daughter sniffed, "Tao’s granddad and I may not be back today. His mom is sick, so for these few days, Mom, you take care of Tao, Mom..." Granny’s daughter choked up and couldn’t continue.
"Yue Lian, I know what you mean. Mom knows you’re filial. If the family wasn’t so busy these years, you wouldn’t visit me so sporadically.
Alright, when you face difficulties, who else but Mom will help you? Go quickly, the child is waiting for you to save him. Mom is muddled. At this time, what use is talking about reason? Getting the child out is the right thing to do.
As for the cow, forget it, let it go. Consider it losing money to avoid disaster. After disaster es fortune, after disaster es fortune."
"Mom..." Granny’s daughter glanced at Luo Ye and the others, hesitated, and ultimately said nothing more.
"Is there anything else?" Granny tapped her daughter, "Spitting words slowly, can’t you be quicker? Mom already said, they’re not outsiders, just say it."
"I heard our tenant is the deputy mayor of our town?" Granny’s daughter replied.
"Yes, don’t get any wrong ideas. Although we can’t blame Tao’s dad, we can’t trouble Xiao Feng either. That child came from far away, how can we have him owe us anything?"
"I... I was just asking." Granny’s daughter murmured, placing the little boy on the bed, "Mom, I’m leaving."
Granny hugged her little great-grandson, waved at her daughter: "Go slowly, if you can’t e back, stay at your third aunt’s, leave tomorrow."
"Auntie, wait a moment." Luo Ye and Zhu Hongyu exchanged glances, stopped Granny’s daughter, "Auntie, are you going to Pozi Town?"
Granny’s daughter nodded: "Yes, do you have something to send, daughter?"
"No, we’re also going to Pozi Town, we can go together with Auntie. How about Auntie waiting five minutes for us to brush our teeth and wash our face, okay?"
"At this time, it’s quite cold..." Granny’s daughter eyed the two with their delicate faces, hesitating, especially when her gaze fell on Luo Ye’s face, she hesitated more.
As she spoke, Luo Ye and Zhu Hongyu had already rushed out of the yard, "And me, don’t leave me behind!" Ying Nuo, lying in bed, shouted urgently.
Just then, Luo Feng also finished getting ready and came out, seeing the two in a rush, looking puzzled: "No way, not forgetting training even here? So dedicated? By the way, I heard Granny’s loud voice talking earlier, did someone e?"
