Chapter 42

Su Wan couldn't help but sighed.

"Then...then I'll go."

Su Wan didn't explain too much, and went back to the wall she just jumped over, intending to turn back.

"Hey, that..."

Chen Shi couldn't help but speak beside her.

Su Wan was overjoyed.

"Go...to the main entrance."

Su Wan: ...

Well, she was happy a little early.

In the end, Su Wan still left.

"Hmph, this guy has finally left. If she doesn't leave, I will definitely hit her hard with a mallet." Grandma Chen left after snorting.

From behind, Mrs. Chen looked at the direction where Su Wan had just disappeared, and then glanced at the basket in her hand, looking thoughtful.

Su Wan couldn't help sighing after returning home, and went out for a while, but nothing came of it.

In the end, I didn't succeed in borrowing the ladder.

Xiaobai happened to come out of the house at this time and saw the woman standing by the wall shaking her head and sighing, "Did you bring the ladder back?"

Su Wan nodded slightly.

"Maybe I did too many bad things in the past, but now everyone seems unwilling to help me."

"If you understand it, don't do it in the first place."

Xiaobai hurriedly ran to the back, not knowing what he was doing.

Just when Su Wan was thinking about whether he could pile things up and climb up by himself in the form of Jenga.

"Dong dong dong."

The very crisp knock on the door sounded at this moment, and she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, who would come here at this time.

So he opened the door and looked, surprised to find that it was Mrs. Chen and her mother-in-law who came to her door with ladders each.

Chen's mother-in-law couldn't help cursing behind her like this.

"I think your brain must have been blown crooked by the wind and snow, otherwise, how could you bring our things over in a decent manner?"

"I actually let my 60-year-old old woman do it herself."

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but smile to comfort her mother-in-law behind her, "But my mother-in-law has already eaten the sweet potatoes brought over by others. It would be unreasonable if I don't help."

Chen's mother-in-law snorted coldly after hearing this.

"It's just a broken sweet potato, and it's not worth anything. I didn't even look at it before."

Su Wan looked at them in shock.

Mrs. Chen showed a very kind smile, "I remember you wanted to borrow a ladder, and I brought it here for you now, and I also brought a few wooden planks along the way. I don't know if you can use it."

Seeing Su Wan's surprised expression, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but blushed slightly, "I'm really sorry, I was so scared when I first saw you jumping off the wall that I couldn't react."

"If you say something bad, please don't remember it."

"No...thank you, come in quickly."

Su Wan happily opened the door, welcomed them in, and helped them carry the ladder.

"Give me this ladder, put it aside first, I'll pour you a cup of tea first."

After Su Wan put the ladder away, she went to the kitchen to prepare to boil water.

Chen's and Chen's mother-in-law happened to enter the room at this time, and happened to see Xiao Cheng who was playing alone in the room.

The two looked at the child in front of them in surprise, as if they had discovered a treasure.

"Look, the little girl looks so juicy."

When Chen's mother-in-law saw Xiao Cheng, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

She is over 60 years old in the village, and at her age basically has a whole family of children and grandchildren, but it is a pity that her son left early and did not leave any children in the family.

Fortunately, there is this daughter-in-law waiting by her side. Although life is a bit hard, at least she will not be alone.

Chen looked at the little girl and also smiled.

If possible, she also hopes that she can have a son and a half daughter, not for anything else, at least to add a little tenderness to this lonely life.

"Brother, you just..."

Xiao Cheng originally thought that her brother had returned.

But when she turned her head, she saw two people she had never seen before.

So the three of them stared wide-eyed.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

Grandma Chen asked with a smile.

Xiaocheng took two steps back, covered her mouth, and looked at her cautiously,
"The stepmother said, you can't talk to strangers."

Grandma Chen: Tsk.

"Little girl, be good, grandma, there are sweets here, do you want some sweets?"

Chen's mother-in-law thought she put on a very kind expression, and offered candies that children would never be able to refuse.

Originally, I thought that the other party would run over in a hurry, but I never expected to be more cautious.

"The stepmother said that you can't eat candies given by strangers."

Chen's mother-in-law: ...

Why do you have so many things about your stepmother?

"Who are you and why did you appear in my house?"

Xiao Cheng stared at them.

"us……"

Chen Shi originally wanted to explain.

"We are your new family. Your stepmother doesn't want you anymore and sold you to grandma. Grandma will take you home now, okay?"

Chen's mother-in-law said with a smirk.

When Xiaocheng heard this, she was completely startled, and seemed to be hesitating whether the other party was telling the truth or a lie.

But after thinking about it again, women did do this before.

Could it be that the stepmother playing with them these days is actually lying to them, deliberately letting them relax their vigilance, and then selling them while their father is away.

Sure enough, Xiao Cheng was fooled.

Shui Lingling's eyes were filled with drops of water, as if they might pour down at any moment.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen couldn't help being a little anxious. She had never raised a child before, and she didn't know what to do when she saw the child cry.

Chen's mother-in-law said that there is no need to panic.

"It's okay. When the child cries, one candy will be sent away."

Chen's mother-in-law then handed out a candy, but Xiaocheng didn't respond at all, and her expression looked more like she was about to cry.

"It's okay, if one doesn't work, just two."

Chen's mother-in-law handed it over again.

Xiaocheng knocked down the candy with a slap, and rushed out. At the same time, the long-planned wah-wah sounded at this moment.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

The crying poor little girl seemed to be crying like an abandoned child.

Chen's and Chen's mother-in-law looked at each other.

Chen's mother-in-law was a little embarrassed.

"I used to raise a son, and I don't know about my daughter's situation."

After Xiaobai heard his sister's voice, he immediately got out from the backyard, regardless of his little hand being pierced by a nail just now.

Chen and her mother-in-law were worried that the little girl would fall, so they also ran out of the house.

As soon as he went out, he saw the little girl crying in front of another little boy.

Xiao Bai looked at the two people who came out. He knew these two people and they were neighbors who lived near his house.

Just now Su Wan went over there to borrow a ladder, but they didn't seem to borrow it, why did it appear in his house now?
 Happy Tanabata, my friends
