Chapter 229: The old bachelor came to make trouble and was beaten by Chen 2lai
"What a waste!" Liu Xianghua said dissatisfiedly: "You are still young. If you don't dress up now, when will you dress up? Listen to my sister-in-law and take it back to wear."
Gao Ye took the coat and gently stroked it with her palm, a look of longing in her eyes. She had never worn such a nice coat before, without a single patch.
Liu Xianghua took out a sweater and stuffed it into Gao Ye's arms: "Take this sweater back too. If it doesn't fit, you can tear it into yarn and knit a new one yourself."
"This sweater is really thick." Gao Ye said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I've never worn a sweater before!"
Thinking back to her past life, Gao Ye felt that she was worse than an animal. Not to mention such nice clothes, she couldn't even have a full meal.
Liu Xianghua picked out two more pieces of clothing and handed them to Gao Ye: "Ye Zi, these are all good clothes. Wear them when you go out. I'll find you a few more to wear when you work."
"These pants are nice, but the hem is worn out. You can mend them yourself when you get home. There are also a few pairs of pants that the old ladies wear. They were given to me by Ji Xue's grandmother. Please give them to my aunt!"
Gao Ye's eyes were a little moist. Since returning to Chenjia Village, she felt that she was living like a human being.
Although life was still hard, the villagers helped her in every way. Knowing her difficult life, the village head and the party secretary went to her several times to find odd jobs for her.
The factory was far away, and it took her half a day to walk there and back. Chen Aiguo skipped his lunch break and rode his bicycle back and forth for her.
Sometimes there was too much work in the fields for her to finish, and she would just have to ask the villagers passing by to help her finish it.
And Chen Erlai, who cleaned the house, took care of the elderly, coaxed the children, and cooked, there was nothing he didn't help with. Gao Ye didn't know how to thank him.
Liu Xianghua took the clothes from Gao Ye's arms, folded them up while sitting on the kang, and asked softly, "Ye Zi, tell me the truth, what do you think?"
Gao Ye asked suspiciously, "Sister-in-law, what are you asking?"
"It's about you and Er Laizi!" Liu Xianghua said in a low voice, "I think you two are a good match. It's not easy for you to take care of a child, and he happens to be alone..."
Gao Ye's lips trembled a few times, and he lowered his head and murmured, "I'm not worthy of him."
"Ah..." Liu Xianghua sighed, pulled Gao Ye to sit on the kang, and asked, "Ye Zi, tell me the truth, do you have feelings for him?"
Gao Ye hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't dare to think about that..."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Liu Xianghua whispered encouragingly, "Ye Zi, you're back now. Let go of what happened in the past and move forward."
Gao Ye said hurriedly: "But I..."
Liu Xianghua interrupted her: "Don't say any more! Ye Zi, we can all guess what you've been through, but no one is talking nonsense.
The last time that old bachelor from the next village came to the village to ask about you, the villagers immediately drove him away. Even Wang Erxiu and Li Baozhen, those two gossipers, didn't bite your tongue.
Gao Ye stammered, "I, I'll go back and think about it again."
"Think about it carefully. If you really want to do it, we'll talk to Er Laizi for you."
Gao Ye was worried and walked home with his bag on his back. As soon as he turned the corner, he heard Er Laizi's scolding coming from his yard.
She hurried home. The elderly and children were at home, and nothing could happen to them.
Er Laizi protected the child in his arms, looked at the old man in front of him whose teeth were almost all gone, and angrily scolded him: "Hurry up and leave. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude."
"Don't chase me away!" The old man said, "I really want to marry Gao Ye. Look at me, I brought so many things here. You have to let me see her."
Chen Erlai looked at the basket of wild vegetables at the old man's feet and became even angrier. "Who are you trying to fool with a basket of wild vegetables? If we want to eat, there are plenty on the hillside. Do we need you to give us some?"
The blind grandmother sat on the steps, angrily saying, "You idiot! Get him out of here! He tried to snatch the child the moment he came in. If you hadn't come in time, who knows what he would have done."
Chen Erlai retreated to the blind woman's side and placed the child in her arms. He picked up the broom beside the steps and ran towards the old man.
The old man took two steps back and said loudly: "Hey, even if you don't agree, you can't hit people!"
Chen Erlai beat her even harder, cursing, "I'm beating you! You old bastard, your teeth are almost falling out, how dare you say you want to marry Gao Ye? You're already her father, how dare you open your mouth..."
"Why can't I marry her?" Although the old man was beaten, he was not at all forgiving: "Young man, you are the only one who thinks she is a good person. I have heard that she is a woman who was abducted and sold..."
"fart--"
Chen Erlai was so angry that he was gasping for breath. Gao Ye had been back for several months. Although she never talked about her past experiences, the people in Chenjia Village had guessed it almost exactly.
Even so, no one mentioned those things in front of the blind mother-in-law and Gao Ye. Gao Ye's life was already miserable enough, if they stabbed her in the heart again, wouldn't that be immoral?
Chen Erlai pushed him out of the door and urged him, "Hurry up and leave. Don't force me to call for help."
The old man stumbled and bumped into Gao Ye. Gao Ye took two steps back in disgust and dragged Chen Erlai's arm into the yard.
"Gao Ye!" The old man saw her coming back, his face smiling like a chrysanthemum, and said shamelessly: "You are finally back! What I told you last time, have you thought about it?"
Gao Ye stuffed the bag into Chen Erlai's arms, picked up the basket on the ground, and threw the basket and the wild vegetables out of the gate.
She said angrily: "Give up on this idea! Even if I, Gao Ye, never marry, I will never look down on you! Take your things and get out—"
"Don't be ungrateful."
Having lost such a big person, the old man felt ashamed and threatened with a stern face: "If you don't want everyone to know that you were abducted, then live with me, otherwise..."
Chen Erlai threw the bag to the ground, rushed out of the yard, and slapped the old man hard.
"If you dare to go out and tell me that, you old fool, I'll pull out all your teeth!"
"Do you really think that people from our Chen Village are easy to bully? You didn't even ask around before coming here. Who in Dahe Town doesn't know me, Chen Erlai? If you make me angry, I'll kill you..."
The old man rubbed his cheek, looked at Gao Ye viciously, and cursed: "You are a slut, are you involved with this wild man?
I'm going to report you to the Revolutionary Committee for having affairs with men and women. I knew women like you were restless, so just wait and see..."
"Don't go!" Chen Erlai stopped the old man and demanded, "Tell me which village you're from first. And you're telling me off. Believe it or not, I'll go to the police station and sue you for harassing a lesbian. If I can't kill you, I'll make you suffer."
"me……"
"What do you mean by 'you'? You're already so old. You're looking for Gao Ye, just to find someone to take care of you in your old age. Do you really think we can't see that?"
"What do you care what I want? What does it have to do with you?"
"How can it have nothing to do with me? I live next door..."
"You're not going to marry her, so why are you getting involved?"
