Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 424 1 Auntie's Little Thoughts

The second aunt frowned thoughtfully. She recalled the way Banggeng hesitated to speak just now, and felt that something was wrong.

So she asked tentatively: "When Qin Huairu left, didn't she leave you anything? Like money or something else?" Her eyes wandered back and forth between Jia Zhang and Bang Geng, as if looking for clues to the answer.

Before the second aunt finished speaking, Jia Zhang's face suddenly changed. She stood up suddenly like a cat whose tail was stepped on, with a sharp and anxious tone in her voice:

"Why should we keep it? If we had money, would we be so miserable? Look at our family, old and young, we can't even live a decent life. How about you, Second Aunt, have pity on us and help us?"

As she spoke, she actually stretched out her hand, as if trying to grab Second Aunt's arm, with a hint of begging and calculation in her eyes.

Seeing this, the second aunt suddenly felt disgusted and helpless. She didn't expect Jia Zhang to ask for money so directly, and she didn't want to be involved in such a dispute at this time.

So she quickly took a step back, avoiding the hand that Jia Zhang extended, and said in a panic:

"Oh, look at my memory! My rice is still outside. No, I have to go and check it out quickly." Having said that, she turned around hurriedly without waiting for Jia Zhang's reaction and left the Jia family almost as if she was escaping.

Jia Zhang looked at the back of the second aunt who was leaving in a hurry, with a smug smile on her face. She cursed in her heart: "You still want to trick me? Humph, don't you see who I am!"

The third aunt watched it all clearly from the side, and secretly thanked herself for not speaking rashly. She knew that Jia Zhang was a difficult character, and once she got involved, it would be difficult to escape.

So she made an excuse, saying that she had something to do at home, and hurriedly left the Jia family.

Jia Zhang looked at the backs of the second and third aunts who were almost fleeing in panic, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, revealing a smug smile.

She cursed in her heart, "Still trying to trick me? Humph, I've been in this yard for so many years, I've seen all kinds of storms, how can I let you succeed so easily." There was a hint of cunning in her eyes, as if she was satisfied with the small victory she had just achieved.

Then, she turned her gaze to the middle-aged woman who was still in the house. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly, and she said in a choked voice:

"Aunt, from now on we are all counting on you and Uncle. Dongxu passed away early, leaving us orphans and widows. Life is really hard. You and Uncle are both good people, you can't just ignore us. Wuuwuwu..."

As she spoke, she actually started to cry, and her cry was filled with both nostalgia for her past life and fear of the uncertain future.

Seeing this, the first aunt was filled with regret. She secretly blamed herself for not finding an excuse to leave earlier like the second and third aunts did. Now, Jia Zhang was directly "blaming" her.

Seeing Jia Zhang crying without any image, Auntie couldn't help but feel sad. Jia Zhang's cheeks were wet with tears, her eyes were red and swollen like two peaches, and she had completely lost her former spirit.

The three children next to them, Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua, were also crying, with tear marks all over their little faces, which made people feel very distressed.

Auntie knew very well that Qin Huairu's departure was a huge blow to the Jia family, and as a neighbor, how could she just stand by and watch?

She thought to herself that although Qin Huairu was gone, if she and Yi Zhonghai could help take care of the three children, when they grew up, they might be able to become her support in her later years.

Thinking of this, the balance in Auntie's heart gradually tilted, and she did not directly reject Jia Zhang's request.

So, she took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound gentler: "Don't cry for now, what if you cry and hurt yourself?"

As she spoke, she reached out her hand and gently patted Jia Zhang's back, trying to comfort her. Then, she continued:

"Well, I'll go back and talk to Lao Yi to see how we can help you. Don't worry, we're here and won't let you and your mother starve or freeze. It'll be fine, it'll be fine."

After saying these words, the aunt carefully comforted Jia Zhang for a few more words until her emotions gradually calmed down, then she slowly stood up and prepared to leave.
