Chapter 128 Mother and daughter reunited

Chen Yulan took a step back, protecting her son, and asked nervously.

"You, you feed this old man and this money-loser, what's your conspiracy?"

"I can't stand seeing you mistreating them. Is that a problem?" Aunt Yuan glanced around the yard, listening to Chen Yulan swearing, she picked up the broom leaning against the wall and hit the mother and son.

"Get out!" she yelled.

Chen Yulan bent down and picked up her son. "You old vicious woman, you have a weird personality, no wonder you killed your man. Your daughter didn't come back to see you, you deserve it! Ouch! It hurts, you really hit me..."

I don't know when Aunt Yuan caught up with me.

The stinging broom hit my back like a thorn, which was extremely painful.

She was old and lacked the strength to keep up, so she was out of breath after only chasing for a dozen steps. However, what Chen Yulan said deeply hurt her heart.

"Old man, are you hating me for losing my daughter? Ling'er, why don't you come back to see me?"

Plop! Tears fell, and she wiped them away.

Yuan Ling's feet seemed to be buried in the ground, her body was numb and she couldn't move forward. She took a deep breath, covered her chest, bent over hard, and shouted.

"mother!"

"Ling'er?" Aunt Yuan murmured, dazed for a moment, and quickly turned her head. The sun shone down, blocking the face of the person in front of her, and her figure could no longer overlap with her daughter's.

But the emotion that surged from the bottom of her heart hurt her heart.

She yelled again, "Mother!"

Aunt Yuan's legs and feet went weak. She opened her arms and tightly hugged her daughter who was kneeling on the ground. She sobbed in grief. The sunlight fell on her white hair, giving it a layer of gold.

It seems that the five years of waiting were worth it.

Yuan Ling cried, "Mom, I am an unfilial daughter. I only came to see you now."

Aunt Yuan held up her daughter's face and was shocked to see that she looked so haggard and hungry. "Ling'er, are you, are you not doing well?"

The neighbors all came out, and they didn't recognize Yuan Ling when they saw her.

Yuan Ling wiped away her tears and said truthfully, "Lv Yu is a heartless man who trapped me at home and wouldn't let me come back. Thanks to my benefactors, Jiusu and Jiang Gongzi, otherwise I would never be able to come back in this lifetime."

They all scolded Lu Yu for being a beast.

Seeing this, Chen Yulan stepped forward and said, "My sister saved your daughter, Auntie, why don't you show some appreciation? Give us ten taels of silver."

Aunt Yuan hugged her daughter, raised her head and snorted coldly.

"Chen Yulan, have some shame. What does this have to do with you? Are you crazy because of lack of money? If you dare to meddle in our family's affairs again, I will beat you to death with a broom."

Chen Yulan didn't dare to speak anymore.

Jiusu said, "Auntie, let's talk about it when we get home. Sister Yuan Ling must be tired."

"Hey!" Aunt Yuan nodded, and she said to her neighbors, "Tomorrow I will have a banquet to welcome my daughter. Everyone come and eat, everyone come and eat."

At this time, Jiu Mu sighed.

"Yulan is probably going to get beaten up pretty bad."

She turned around and was shocked to see the person in Aunt Yuan's arms. After a closer look, she recognized who it was.

"Isn't this Yuan Ling?"

"Auntie, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay?" Yuan Ling's eyes reddened again when she saw an acquaintance. Facing the aunt's concern, she smiled and said, "Thanks to Jiusu sister."

Jiu's mother looked at Jiusu behind her and actually lowered her head.

They sat around the table, and Yuan Ling recounted her experiences since she got married and Hui Ye appeared. Everyone present was moved.

She wiped her tears and said, "That bastard really makes me sick!"

Aunt Yuan hugged her daughter and cried bitterly.

Jiu Mu comforted her, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Aunt Yuan and her daughter looked at each other and nodded at her. They both stood up and knelt on the ground facing Jiusu.

"Thank you benefactor!"

“Hey, hey, hey!” Jiusu hurriedly helped the two of them up. “Auntie, Sister Yuan Ling, we are all neighbors. Why should we be so polite? Everything is fate. Let’s live a good life from now on.”

Aunt Yuan was so angry that her teeth were itching.

"If I hadn't seen that bastard, I would have killed him!"

Jiusu also felt that he deserved a beating, but she didn't expect that the day when she saw Aunt Yuan protecting her daughter would soon come when she would see a white-haired mother chasing a middle-aged man around the street and beating him up.

What a shocking and great scene.

When separated.

Jiu's mother led her granddaughter west, while Jiusu and Jiang Jing went east.

Her back was stiff and she didn't know what to say to her daughter. No, that was not her daughter. How could she be raised well? She had never been close to her since she was a child.

Jiu Zhishu held her grandmother's hand, looked up, and asked innocently, "Grandma, don't you like your daughter too?"

Jiu Mu shuddered all over, and her smile became stiff.

"What mother doesn't love her daughter?"

"Then why don't you like your aunt?" Jiuzhishu didn't understand.

Jiu's mother sighed, "She and I have no fate in this life, no mother-daughter relationship. No matter how much affection I pour into her, it belongs to someone else. I don't like her, nor do I hate her. It's just that every time I go to sleep, I will think of one thing, and I can't fall asleep because of thinking about it."

Jiu Zhishu asked: "What's the matter?"

Jiumu shook her head and pinched her granddaughter's face.

"Why am I telling you all this? Let's go home. Your mother will go crazy again soon. When that happens, just hide in grandma's arms. I will protect you."

-

"The young lady is back!" Chang Bo was hanging red lanterns. When he heard the sound of a carriage, he hurriedly asked someone to open the door. Zitan and Koushao heard the news and hurried out.

Zitan carried the luggage.

Kou Shao held the lady's arm and said, "Miss, you are finally back. You have been gone for seven days. I missed you so much."

"I haven't been gone for seven years." Jiusu looked up and asked, "Why are you hanging lanterns? Is there any happy event in the mansion?"

Chang Bo said, "Miss, the day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I took the initiative to hang some lanterns and red ribbons in the mansion to make it festive."

Mid-Autumn Festival?

Jiusu looked up at the round moon in the sky.

"Time flies, Uncle Chang. Buy whatever you need. If you run out of money, come and ask me for a banknote."

"There is still a lot left for the expenses of the mansion you gave me." Chang Bo said with a smile, "Miss, you should go and have a rest. Leave this to me."

After a simple dinner.

Jiang Jing and Jiu Su both went to the study. The curtain and screen separated the space between the two. He looked at the shadow of his beloved on the screen, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Physical fatigue slowly dissipated at this moment.

"With a beautiful woman by your side, every step in the book will lead to success."

Jiusu stood up, poked his head out from behind the screen, puffed up his cheeks, and snorted, "The academy is testing love subjects? Read less novels and study more, okay?"

Jiang Jing followed her example and held up three fingers, making an 'ok' sign.

Jiusu returned to his seat.

The hot pot restaurant's menu is divided into five areas: soup base, meat, vegetables, drinks and snacks.

The menu takes up a whole piece of paper. I'll ask tomorrow about what vegetables are available. There is a manager, four waiters in each area, and two kitchens with two chefs and two assistants each.

Dormitory and three meals are provided.

Time passed by little by little. She took the densely written menu, put it on the table, put her hands behind her back and asked: "You have beautiful handwriting. Can you help me write ten menus?"

Jiang Jing knew that this was something from a hot pot restaurant.

He said, "My father can carve characters. Let him make you a few big wooden signs to hang on the walls of the hot pot restaurant. I will write ten menus for you using book folding. How do you think?"

Jiusu nodded: "Thank you and uncle for your hard work."
