"Excuse me!" Shen Yan said with a smile.
Li Mei looked into his eyes, "Have you ever loved Miss Zeng?"
"What?" Shen Yan didn't expect that she would ask this question today, so she didn't answer for a while.
"Or let me ask this, have you ever wanted to marry her? Before you met Xia Yu." Li Mei changed the way she asked.
Shen Yan smiled and said, "Would you believe me if I didn't?" Shen Yan felt that she was asking a redundant question.
Li Mei also felt that she was redundant. Before yesterday, she had really doubted Shen Yan's motives. After all, he was the second son of the Shen family, so it was normal to have such thoughts.
But now, she believes in Shen Yan.
Xia Yu rested for a night in Shen Yan's villa and felt much better. When she opened her eyes in the morning, it was already past eight o'clock. She rarely slept for so long.
After getting dressed, Xia Yu came out of the room. Aunt Ma had already prepared breakfast for her, "Miss Xia, I cooked porridge and fried two egg pancakes. Eat some."
"Thank you Aunt Ma." Xia Yu was not polite, sat down and started eating.
“Ms. if.
Xia Yu nodded, "I'm fine now. I have to go to work in a while. If he calls back, tell him." He knew that his appearance scared him yesterday.
But you can't blame Xia Yu. The people in the nursing home really scared Xia Yu. Zhou Yan said that she was pretty good, but there was a young nurse who just came to work there and fainted from fright. The first thing she said when she woke up was, I will never work here again.
Xia Yu still feels good about herself here, and her performance yesterday was not much better than that little nurse. Otherwise, Shen Yan would not have brought her here desperately.
“Ms.
At this time, someone rang the doorbell outside, and Aunt Ma went to open the door.
"Oh, we've really reconciled. I thought Shen Yan was bragging." The eldest lady walked in and looked at Xia Yu with a half-smile, "Don't you have an emotional mysophobia? How can you accept Shen Yan?" This man is having an affair with his future sister-in-law.”
Xia Yu put down the bowl in her hand. She couldn't eat any more.
If she didn't know the person in front of her, she would definitely not think that she was the eldest wife of the Shen family, "Aunt Ma, I'm going to work."
"Oh, okay. If you have any questions, call me." Now Aunt Ma doesn't want to persuade her to stay. The eldest lady is here, and her mouth will make her sick even if she is not sick.
Xia Yuruo left without anyone else, and the eldest lady was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but there was nothing she could do about Xia Yu. I had no choice but to lose my temper with Aunt Ma for a while and then leave.
After Xia Yu went to Ruyilu, only half an hour later, Zhou Yan called. He was worried about Xia Yu and asked how she was doing.
"I'm fine." Xia Yu was actually very embarrassed. She naturally refused to admit in front of Zhou Yan that she was actually still a little scared.
"Since you have gone to work, it means that you are really fine, so I can rest assured. Otherwise, Shen Yan wouldn't have demolished my clinic." Zhou Yan could no longer hear the fear in Xia Yu's voice. I was also very pleased.
"It's not as serious as you said." Thinking of Shen Yan's face yesterday, Xia Yu really believed that Shen Yan would do this. However, she couldn't blame her for being too shocked. Mother Jiang was really pitiful. " Zhou Yan, if there is any way to do it as soon as possible, I have to ask Ma Jiang.”
"I was about to tell you about this. I have already talked with the leaders of the nursing home. They also think that Jiang Ma can still be cured, so I decided to go to Japan to invite my teacher." Zhou Yan spent a lot of money this time Yes, Ma Jiang must be cured.
"Great, when are you going?" Xia Yu wished that Zhou Yan could invite his teacher over right away. The earlier he could cure Jiang Ma, the sooner he would know the truth, and Jiang Ma would have to suffer less.
"I have already bought a ticket and will leave immediately. But when I was chatting with the leaders of the nursing home, I accidentally learned from them that Jiang Ma's family had come over and took away Jiang Ma's things. I don't know if there are any. What we want, if you have time, can you go to Jiangjia Village and ask?" Originally Zhou Yan wanted to go in person, but it was imperative to ask a teacher, and since Wan Ru adopted Cheng Xi, she didn't have time. , it seems that only Xia Yu makes this trip.
"Okay, I will arrange the work today and go tomorrow." Xia Yu agreed without hesitation.
The next day, Xia Yu took time to go to Jiangjia Village. This time, Xia Yu did not dare to hide the truth from Shen Yan and explained the situation to him before leaving. Seeing that the matter was of great importance, Shen Yan wanted to accompany her there in person, but the Zeng family's affairs were also very difficult and he was unable to do anything, so he agreed to let her go, but asked her to be careful.
Xia Yu agreed one by one, bought a train ticket, and after getting off the train in the town, he called a car to take her off. The roads are all built along the mountains, and they are so winding and winding that it makes people sick. Along the way, you can only see rugged rocks. The soil is brown and cracked because it cannot retain water.
The car stopped after driving for a while. Since there was no way to go uphill, Xia Yu negotiated a price with the driver and asked him to wait on the side of the road while she walked up.
The villages in the mountains are different from those on the plains. They are rarely clustered together. They are all low houses scattered on the slopes. Xia Yu walked for more than half an hour before reaching the entrance of the village, and next to it was a small house. The three characters "Jiangjiacun" are engraved on the erected stone.
Xia Yu looked at the mottled words "Jiangjia Village" on the stone and laughed. There were more than 60 households in the whole village, more than half of which were five-guarantee households. The per capita annual income had not exceeded 4,000 yuan, making it one of the most impoverished villages in the country. one. Standing under the old persimmon tree at the entrance of the village, Xia Yu couldn't tell what she was feeling at this time, but she didn't come here to enjoy the sights, but had another purpose.
She had inquired before coming here that Jiang's mother's family lived in a low earthen house on the other side of the village. The wooden door was almost half eaten by insects and there were many rotten holes in it.
Xia Yu walked over, and she put her eyes to the rotten gap and looked inside. There seemed to be nothing inside, it was pitch black, only the wind blowing out.
"Who are you looking for?"
There was a sudden voice behind him, and Xia Yu turned around. Standing on the dirt road was an old man, wearing an old-fashioned navy blue jacket that had been washed white, with a stooped back and a cane.
"Who are you?" The old lady looked at her and looked her up and down. Xia Yu simply walked over and walked up to the old man. The old man squinted at her for a long time and was sure that he didn't recognize her. "Are you looking for someone?"
"I'm from the city, and this family..." Xia Yu pointed to the door at the back that was almost broken.
The old lady sighed sadly, "No more, they are all gone."
"what happened?"
"You don't know yet? My son and daughter-in-law went out to work and never came back. The old lady got crazy in the city a few years ago. How pitiful!"
"The old woman also committed a sin. Her son and daughter-in-law didn't care about her and left her alone in the nursing home."
Xia Yu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you know where they go to work?"
The old lady shook her head.
This is troublesome. Xia Yu frowned: "Grandma, do you still remember what happened back then?"
"What's up?"
"Ma Jiang went crazy. She was always good before. How could she suddenly go crazy for no reason?"
"What happened!" The old lady paused with her eyes squinted, "I remember going to the city to work as a nanny. Later, I said that there was a death in that family, and then I returned to the village..."
The old lady thought about it again and suddenly raised her crutch and pointed at the entrance of the village. "Not long after she came back, one day, a car came. It was black and bright. It came from the road at the entrance of the village and kept driving. When we arrived at her door, the old woman seemed to be mad."
The old lady recalled bit by bit, her cloudy eyes seeming to be opening the seal blocked by time, "When the car arrived at our village that day, I was there at the time, and the wheels of the car crushed the vegetables growing in the fence at my door, but... A month later, the car came again and picked up the old woman. Tsk, tsk, by then the old woman was no longer human, she was so thin that she was just skin and bones, and her brain was completely damaged. She ran around the village holding her head while running. He was howling without knowing what he was saying. When the children saw it, they were so frightened that they just cried. "
It turns out that after Ning Jing died, Jiang Ma only went crazy after returning to the village? Then after she went crazy, was it her family that notified the Shen family to pick her up? Xia Yu could almost imagine the scene at that time. She twisted her fingers and closed her eyes.
"Then what abnormal behavior did she do in the village after she went crazy?"
"Not to mention that she screamed when she saw white things, and she was also afraid of the dragon-shaped toys that children played with. Children were ignorant and used those kinds of things to tease her, and she went even crazier. . She scratched and bit the children who teased her. The villagers tied her up for a few days because they were afraid that she would cause trouble, but she was too capable. She bit off the rope and ran away. She also stole people's clothes. They had no choice but to put her away. In a locked room, others don’t know, but I’m right next to their house, at night, ugh... "
The old lady seemed a little unable to speak.
Xia Yu swallowed a breath, "What happened at night?"
"It's like a ghost. I don't know what happened to me in the city. Anyway, it was howling all night long, howling and crying at the same time. It was so noisy that no one could sleep."
It was like a sound coming from hell. Xia Yu felt sick in her stomach again. She pressed her chest with her hand, "What happened next?"
"When she is like this, people at home have to watch her, and her son and daughter-in-law can take care of her for a short time. But after a long time, it becomes too much. The children have to go to school, so what can they do if they don't go out to make money? Later, everyone gave them some advice, saying that after all, she She got the disease while working as a nanny, and that family should be held responsible for whatever happened. So her son went to find that family, and they were kind enough to pick her up soon after. Her son and his wife also went there. I went out to work and took my two children with me, and they never came back.”
