The mountain I contracted can connect the past and the present

Yun Xinyue's curiosity was aroused, and she quickly asked, "What did the eldest son's family do?"

Aunt Li's face was full of disgust and disdain, and her tone was filled with anger. "The second son's family was sent over the night before, and the eldest son's family actually made the old lady wait outside the door for a whole night."

"It was winter and it was very cold outside. The old lady accidentally fell down. She cried and called to her eldest son to let her in, but his family seemed not to hear her and did not open the door all night."

Yun Xinyue covered her mouth in shock, with anger on her face, "That's too much!"

"That's my own mother! What a beastly family! The old lady was yelling at them, but the whole family pretended not to hear."

Aunt Li slapped her thigh, her eyes almost spitting fire, "This is not the worst."

"The worst thing was that the eldest daughter-in-law scolded the old lady for disturbing their family's sleep, and told her to stop crying, saying that she should go back to the second son's house, and it was not time to support her yet."

At this point, she sighed, "As a result, the villagers who woke up early the next day found the old lady and got hard."

Yun Xinyue gasped when she heard this. She asked hurriedly, "What happened next?"

Aunt Li sighed again, "Later, the eldest and second sons' families shirked responsibility, and no one was willing to help collect the old lady's body. The third son's family also stayed away."

"It was the old lady's two daughters who rushed back from another village to collect her body."

She suddenly snorted twice, and said with relief, "People in our village sued the eldest, second, and third sons' families. The eldest and his wife and the second son and his wife were imprisoned, and the third son and his wife were given suspended sentences."

"These three families were extremely unwelcome in the village. They were despised by all the surrounding villages. These three people couldn't stand it anymore, so they all moved to the town."

Yun Xinyue still felt unsatisfied. She frowned and said, "The old lady is gone, but these three families can still live a comfortable life. It's really hateful."

Aunt Li said, "You are wrong."

"Soon after these families moved to the town, the vicious things they did were spread all over the village. Even their children and grandchildren were scorned and excluded from work and school. The families had a hard time."

Yun Xinyue felt that it was still not enough. She thought about how the old lady had worked so hard to raise several children, but for the sake of the homestead, the children not only told their mother about it, but also killed their mother personally or indirectly.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

She brought the topic back to the topic, "Aunt Li, please keep an eye on this cleaner for me. Grandpa Sun really needs this job."

Aunt Li patted her chest and assured, "Xinyue, don't worry, I will help you keep an eye out."

"But you have to hurry up, good jobs like this don't wait."

This kind of job is a great job for the middle-aged and elderly people in the surrounding villages.

Yun Xinyue knew this clearly. She smiled and said, "Aunt Li, I will go back and talk to Grandpa Sun and try to get him to start work tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Aunt Li waved her hand and left.

Yun Xinyue called Lan Ci, and the two walked towards the stilt house.

"Miss Yun, can you arrange one of the jobs that you discussed with Aunt Li for Xinghuai?" Lan Ci suddenly asked.

Yun Xinyue exclaimed, "Ah!" and turned to look at him in a daze, "Why did you arrange a job for Xing Huai? Isn't Xing Huai specifically looking after you?"

She was confused by Lan Ci's words. Why would he want Xing Huai to go to work for no reason?

Lan Ci smiled slightly, her smile as gentle as the breeze, "Xing Huai is here to take care of me, but I'm an adult and don't need much care."

"Besides, I have no discomfort living here, so I thought of finding something for Xinghuai to do and earn some money here to help me spend. I can't just exchange it all for gold, silver and jade, right?"

As soon as he listened to the conversation between Miss Yun and Aunt Li, he realized that the money here was different from the silver in his hometown.

Therefore, if he wants to live here for a long time, it is necessary for him to earn money here.

Hearing this, Yun Xinyue raised her thumbs and smiled, "As expected of Master Lan, you are so far-sighted and can think of these things. Most people would just live with me first."

I have to say that people brought up in big families are really different. Whether in terms of vision or other aspects, they are much higher than ordinary people.

Lan Ci smiled with his lips curved, his eyes sparkling with twinkling lights, "I thought Miss Yun was praising me."

"I'm just praising you." Yun Xinyue put her hands behind her back, leaned slightly closer to him, and smiled.

This smile was as warm as the sunshine, and there was a gentle light in her eyes, as if the most beautiful flowers were blooming, which made Lan Ci dazed for a moment.

He stared into Yun Xinyue's eyes, his Adam's apple rolling twice, "Thank you Miss Yun for the compliment."

It turns out that it is possible to praise someone so directly.

Yun Xinyue didn't notice his abnormality at all. She reached out and patted Lan Ci's shoulder. "People here tend to speak more directly. You have to get used to it."

She was just a little worried that Lan Ci would not be able to get used to the way everyone in the village spoke.

Lan Ci forced himself to look away, but the smile on his lips widened a little, "Okay."

In fact, there is nothing wrong with speaking directly. At least you won’t say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs, or play any tricks.

The two of them talked and returned to the stilt house.

As soon as she entered the entrance, Yun Xinyue saw Xing Huai standing there with good manners, and quickly asked, "Xing Huai, where is Grandpa Sun?"

Xing Huai pointed to a place not far behind him on the left, and said helplessly, "After Grandpa Sun came back, he looked like he had no intention of living anymore, and just sat there blankly."

Yun Xinyue looked in the direction he pointed -

She saw Old Man Sun sitting in a corner. He looked very empty, as if he had lost his soul. It made her feel very distressed.

She walked quickly to Old Man Sun, squatted down, and said gently, "Grandpa Sun, I found a job for you...something to do so that you won't feel worthless."

Old man Sun seemed not to have heard it. He just sat there blankly without moving at all, not even moving his eyes.

When Yun Xinyue was about to say something else, she heard Lan Ci's words, "Miss Yun, please let Grandpa Sun calm down first, and then you can tell him the details later."

Lan Ci helped her stand up and slowed down his voice, "No matter how much Miss Yun talks to Grandpa Sun now, he won't listen. It's better to let him stay alone for a while."

In his opinion, it was Grandpa Sun who was ungrateful and made Miss Yun worry about him again and again.

But he couldn't say that.

Yun Xinyue's brows were furrowed tightly, and she couldn't help sighing, "Mr. Lan, what do you think I should do to cheer up Grandpa Sun?"

"I want to cheer up Grandpa Sun."

Just as Lan Ci was about to speak, he paused and looked down at her, "We share the same suffering?"
