Chapter 141 The Village Chief Takes In
Zhou looked back at her home, which had now been burned into ruins, and felt extremely desperate.
Widow Yang saw that Zhou stopped talking, and she sighed, "Sister-in-law, we didn't mean to anger you, but now that things have come to this, you should think about how to live in this situation from now on!"
"Well...if you need any help in the future, please let me know. We'll be going back first." Widow Yang said with a guilty look on her face, and prepared to go back to her home.
Zhou lowered her head with a look of loss and said dejectedly, "At this age, I am homeless in the end."
The village chief Li Huairen and his wife Qin were whispering to each other, as if they were discussing something.
After a while, the village head and his wife came to An Yue at the same time. Village head Li Huairen asked, "Yueyue, your An family has suffered such a disaster. Now that things have come to this, what are your plans for the future?"
An Yue adjusted her mood and replied: "Prepare to rebuild the house, but for now..."
Qin walked up from behind the village chief Li Huairen, took An Yue's hand, smiled and said softly: "Yueyue, you and An Nian can stay at my house for a while! The east room in my yard is vacant!"
At this moment, the words of the village head and his wife undoubtedly gave An Yue a timely help.
As the old saying goes: 'It is easier to add flowers to a brocade than to send charcoal in the snow'. In this time of crisis, someone is willing to lend a hand, and An Yue is very happy and grateful.
She looked up at Qin, tears welling up in her eyes. She said gratefully, "Thank you, uncle and aunt. I appreciate your kindness. But my sister and I have already caused you two a lot of trouble by taking care of us. I am sorry to bother you again."
Qin shook her head and said, "Yueyue, what are you talking about? You two siblings saved me from danger. Now that your family is in trouble, we will not sit idly by and watch."
"Besides, your uncle is the chief of Baili Village. He should take care of the villagers when they are in trouble."
An Yue wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Qin, who continued, "Yueyue, don't refuse anymore. We are born as human beings, and we still have a long life ahead of us! No one can predict what will happen tomorrow."
An Yue looked at Qin and then at the village chief Li Huairen. She knew that the village chief and his wife were helping her sincerely.
An Yue also thought about it in her heart. Right now, the brother and sister were homeless. If they repeatedly rejected other people's kindness, it would be ungrateful. Besides, if they didn't go to their house, where else could they go?
So, An Yue nodded and said, "Uncle, Uncle, thank you two elders. My sister and I will have to bother you for a while."
At this time, the grandfather Jiang Wuwen, who was sitting next to him, called his son Jiang Chenghai. The father and son whispered a few words to each other, and then Jiang Chenghai led the cow towards the town.
Seeing An Yue agreed, Qin smiled with satisfaction and said, "Yueyue, you don't have to be so polite to us. We are very happy that you can come."
The village chief also added kindly: "You two siblings can just live here in peace!"
After my grandfather Jiang Wuwen, who was sitting and listening nearby, finished smoking his pipe, he shook it and put it away.
He cleared his throat, slowly stood up, and walked up to the village chief and his wife.
He just bowed to the village head and his wife and said, "Thank you both for your help and care."
Village chief Li Huairen helped Jiang Wuwen to stand up straight, looked at An Yue and asked doubtfully: "Yueyue, who is this...?"
"Uncle, this is Yueyue's grandfather."
Jiang Wuwen said helplessly, "Brother, I tried to persuade this girl to go back to the Jiang family with us, but she didn't want to go back. My father and I were worried just now! Now that you two are willing to take her in, and she is willing to stay in your house, we can rest assured."
Qin took An Yue's hand and said to Jiang Wuwen with a smile, "These two children are well-behaved, sensible and have their own ideas. We will definitely take good care of them."
"Then I'll trouble you two. Then, sister-in-law, I will give Yueyue a few more words of advice."
The village chief smiled and said politely, "Of course, of course."
Then, the village head and his wife stepped back on their own accord. Grandmother Zhou walked up to the village head and his wife with her head down, crying and telling them...
Grandfather squatted down, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed An Yue's forehead a few times, and said to An Yue with a worried look: "Yueyue, don't handle anything by yourself in the future, discuss everything with us."
An Yue looked at her grandfather's old and sad face, with mixed feelings in her heart. She blamed herself internally, and the tears in her eyes blurred her vision again.
Grandfather reached out and gently wiped away the tears on An Yue's cheeks, and said kindly: "Wait a moment, your uncle and I will personally take you to the village chief's house. After you and your sister are settled, we will return to the Jiang family and come to see you tomorrow morning."
An Yue raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and nodded quickly with a "hmm".
Then, An Yue turned and walked towards Gu Mingchuan.
Gu Mingchuan was standing on the hillside, carrying a backpack in one hand. He passed by the road and happened to meet the man in the carriage who lifted the curtain. The two were very close and their eyes met.
The man raised the corner of his mouth slightly and gave Gu Mingchuan a wicked smile with a provocative tone.
Gu Mingchuan's eyes were cold and murderous, and he wished he could kill the man in the carriage with one blow in an instant.
Just as the two men were exchanging glances, the carriage was driven away towards the town by the coachman.
A huge fire was spreading wildly, and the midday sun was not as hot as the raging fire.
Gu Mingchuan saw An Yue walking towards him, so he picked up the backpack and walked towards An Yue to meet her.
An Yue took the backpack from Gu Mingchuan and said to him in a very depressed mood: "I am homeless now, you should go back to where you came from!"
After An Yue finished speaking, she put on her backpack and headed back to the An family's front door, ready to meet the village chief and his wife.
Gu Mingchuan looked at An Yue's lonely back and said, "Miss An Yue, I..." Gu Mingchuan watched An Yue walk forward without looking back, and he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
At this moment, all words of comfort seemed pale and powerless, and he watched An Yue walk away step by step.
An Yue came up to the village head and his wife and saw her grandmother Zhou and her aunt Zhang crying around them. The village head and his wife looked helpless.
When Qin saw An Yue coming towards them, she quickly stepped forward and said to An Yue, "Yueyue, I'll go back and clean up the house for you, and you can come over later."
After Qin finished speaking, she jogged nimbly towards the west of the village.
An Yue knew that Qin wanted to use this opportunity to get away. After all, the two women crying endlessly in her ears was really a headache.
Grandfather An Chengde finished smoking two cigarettes, walked slowly to the village chief Li Huairen, and asked directly:
