Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Old man Zhang, who was nagged by his son, also tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

He saw everything that went on at home. The old woman had been strong for many years and he had always been suppressed by her. If his sons had not caused a scene at his brother-in-law's house last time, he would not have had the courage to stand up for himself.

Now that the old woman has fallen, and the public silver is in his hands, he naturally knows that this little bit of money is not enough to save the old woman. But if he lets the old woman go like this, will the children blame him for being cruel?

What if such a day ever happens to me? Will my children follow his example and give up treatment?

But, if I insist on treating the old woman, will the children really agree?

Even if they are willing, where can they get so much money for treatment?

The unconscious old lady Zhang had never expected that no one in the Zhang family wanted her to be alive. After learning that she was seriously injured and unconscious, her family members, whom she cared about so much, scolded her for being old and useless, and for not being able to take care of her own sons and men, and let them dare to come to their house to make trouble, and they regarded her as if they didn't have a daughter.

The night passes in a flash.

The next day, after breakfast, the three members of the Li family went to the county with Uncle Zhang Wu. They were worried that no one would take care of Aunt Zhang Wu, so they asked Aunt Qi to help take care of her. Aunt Qi gave the job of herding cattle to Da Hu, who had just returned from his day off.

When I came back in the evening, before I even got home, Zhang Lao Si came running over and shouted, "Lao Wu, hurry up and come home with me. Mom is dying."

Uncle Zhang Wu and Father Li looked at each other, and Father Li said, "You go first, and let A Ye's wife go to your house and inform your wife."

Yan Yiyi immediately agreed: "Yes, Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu and the child can be left to us without any worries."

"Thank you." Uncle Zhang was as gentle as ever when he spoke to them. He did not show any of the sadness and fear he felt when he learned that his mother was in critical condition. He also did not ask the skilled doctor Yan Yi to bring her back to health.

He turned around and followed Zhang Laosi and walked quickly towards Zhang's house.

Considering that there was no man in Aunt Zhang Wu's house, Xin Ye did not follow. Yan Yiyi got off the donkey cart and went to Aunt Zhang Wu's house alone.

It was Aunt Qi who came out to open the door. Aunt Zhang Wu was leaning against the head of the bed, holding the child and feeding her. Aunt Zhang Wu was surprised that it was Yan Yiyi.

Aunt Zhang Wu smiled lovingly, "Aye's wife, how come you have time to come here? Didn't I hear that you and Aye were going to help look after the shop these two days?"

Yan Yiyi smiled and replied, "I just came back. Uncle Wu was called back by his fourth brother. He said that Mrs. Zhang was not in good condition and he went to see her for the last time. I came here to help run errands and tell Aunt Wu."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Qi were shocked. Aunt Qi also heard about it and learned that Old Lady Zhang suddenly fell in her yard yesterday. She didn't expect to hear that she was dying the next day.

What surprised Aunt Zhang Wu was that yesterday she and her husband were discussing with each other how to kill the old hag. When the woman fell yesterday, she had suspected that they were the ones who did it, but her husband told her last night that it was purely an accident.

I haven't seen the old woman's injuries so I don't know the extent of her condition, but the news that she was dying came the next day, so it seems that her injuries were very serious.

Aunt Zhang Wu gently touched her son's head and said to Yan Yiyi gently, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work."

Yan Yiyi's eyes fell on the baby's face, and suddenly she thought of something and asked, "Child, have you given him a name?"

"His full name is Zhang Sui'an, and his nickname is An'an." Aunt Zhang's eyes became softer as she mentioned her son.

"Oh! Giving the child a big name so early?" Aunt Qi was very surprised. Isn't it the custom here that if you give a child a name too early, you worry that the child won't be able to keep it?

"It doesn't matter. His father said that he should be settled early and his household registration will be registered after one month."

Yan Yiyi didn't care about customs and asked curiously: "Was the name given by Uncle Wu? Why is it called Sui'an? Is there any special meaning?"

"Your fifth uncle said that no matter whether this child wants to be an official or a country boy, it's up to him. We as parents should do our best to educate him.

"An" means that we hope he will be safe and healthy throughout his life. "

After listening to Aunt Zhang Wu's explanation, Yan Yiyi also thought that this name was good and said with a smile, "It's a good name."

Aunt Qi laughed happily: "I suddenly feel that my Dahu's name seems a little inappropriate. Now that he is in school, let him change his name to a formal one, and Dahu will be his nickname. What do you think?"

"That's good. The child has grown up and you can ask for his opinion." Aunt Zhang gave her own pertinent opinion.

Yan Yiyi nodded: "Indeed, instead of asking us, it is better to ask Dahu."

"Okay, I'll go back and ask in the evening." Aunt Qi smiled and said, "You guys chat for a while, I'll go make dinner for you, Sister Yang." After saying that, she turned around and left without waiting for Aunt Zhang Wu's consent.

Yan Yiyi realized this and asked in surprise, "Aunt Wu, you are older than Aunt Qi?"

Aunt Zhang Wu said with a smile: "Yes, your Aunt Qi is only thirty-four this year. If it weren't for the conscription that year, her husband would not have lived such a hard life."

Yan Yiyi sat down on the chair: "Then why doesn't Aunt Qi find a man to remarry?"

Most women here depend on men for their living, and many choose to remarry after losing their men. There are many remarried women in Dashan Village, and their lives are pretty good, at least on the surface they seem to have an easier life than Aunt Qi.

Aunt Zhang sighed, "Of course it's for Da Hu. She's afraid that after she remarries, that family will bully Da Hu. She's also afraid that after she remarries and has a child, she won't be able to take care of Da Hu and let Da Hu suffer."

Yan Yiyi couldn't help but sigh: "Da Hu is so lucky to have a mother like Aunt Qi, but it's Aunt Qi herself who has suffered."

"Yes! But now it can be said that the hardship has paid off. Dahu is a sensible child and can help her share some of the burden. With your family's help in taking care of her, life will only get better and better in the future."

"Yes, we can make a lot of money from sweet potatoes this year!"

"Hahahaha, yes, thank you for helping us make so much money. You are really our lucky star."

"Don't worry, if you work with Little Lucky Star, your life will get better and better."

"Yes, yes, yes, we will rely on the little lucky star to bless us~"

The two were joking in the room. Aunt Zhang Wu didn't notice that Aunt Qi was outside the house, but Yan Yiyi noticed that she had returned early, so she took the opportunity to chat with her and give her some positive energy.

Aunt Qi's eyes were red and tears were falling uncontrollably. She covered her mouth tightly with her hands to prevent her voice from disturbing the conversation between the two people in the room.

It turned out that her hard work and grievances were all seen by others. They didn't help her because they felt sorry for her losing her man, but because they thought it was too hard and difficult for her to be alone, so they extended a helping hand.

They were not helping Widow Qi, but Zhao Di.

She never felt pitiful for not having a man, it was just that this world was too harsh on women, and she just wanted to live with dignity, nothing more.
