Chapter 82: Important Matters

"Yuan, I brought you a goose stewed in an iron pot, roast goose, and roasted goose eggs!"

"I'll add a few more hearty dishes to your dinner today!"

Yijiang rushed in with a small package hanging on his chest.

Following behind him was Gu Shang, who had just tied up his horse and was holding a lot of bags in his arms.

"Huh? What is this?!"

As Yijiang walked in, he saw the bicycle at first sight.

"Yijiang, why are you here?"

Hearing Yu An's voice, Yi Jiang turned his eyes away from the cart, then gritted his teeth and stomped his feet angrily.

"snort!"

"I had a fight with my father!"

"I'm running away from home now!"

Yu An tilted his head and looked at him in confusion.

"Why are you arguing?"

When talking about this, Yijiang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, making a creaking sound from his small white teeth.

"I heard from them that my father is going to find a stepmother for me!"

"I don't want to see that woman walking around in front of me with my mother's face!"

"Damn it! So annoying!"

Hearing this, Old Madam Cheng glanced at the younger generations.

Sisters-in-law Meng and Wang exchanged glances and then withdrew. One of them was busy cleaning up the room for Yijiang, while the other quietly found Xu and Cheng Feng and others and asked them not to go to the cornfield in the backyard for the next two days.

Cheng Qiuruo ran outside carrying the cart, then ran back to her room, took out paper and pen and began to study attentively.

Cheng Qiuyun also pulled Cheng Qiuluo outside.

"Let's go, I've thought of a way to crack yesterday's move. Let's try it."

"Huh?"

Cheng Qiuluo kept stretching his neck to look inside.

"Don't leave yet, listen for a while."

She loves to hear this kind of thing the most, it's so interesting.

Cheng Qiuyun put an arm around her neck and led her to the yard.

"Let's go, let's go."

Inside the main room, Yijiang clenched his fists, his face tense, his eyes flashing with indomitable spirit and anger.

"This time, I will fight to the end!"

Then his face changed and he looked at Madam Cheng pitifully.

"Madam, can Yijiang live here from now on?"

He took out a stack of banknotes from the small package on his chest, pointed with his other hand at Gu Shang who was moving things in the yard, and looked at her eagerly.

"I brought my own food, clothes and bedding, and I can also pay the rent."

In his small package, apart from his mother's portrait, there was nothing but silver and banknotes. He brought out all the New Year's money he had received over the years.

Looking at his aggrieved and pitiful eyes, Old Lady Cheng felt soft-hearted and at a loss at the same time.

She likes Yijiang very much, but if Yijiang lives here, not only will it be inconvenient for Yu'an to go to the fairyland, but even those magical things, including the land in the backyard, may be exposed.

At this time, Gu Shang came in and handed over a letter.

"Madam Cheng, this is what Mr. Chen asked me to give to you."

Old Madam Cheng took the letter and took a look at it.

The letter said that when Chen Ying went into the mountains, he accidentally rescued a woman who was being chased by a wolf, and brought the woman back to his house to heal her.

The woman begged bitterly, saying that she wanted to stay in the mansion and work like a slave to repay his kindness. The woman looked very similar to Yijiang's deceased mother.

Chen Ying couldn't bear it and agreed.

Besides, there were some mean servants in the mansion gossiping in front of Yijiang, saying that Lord Chen would definitely marry that woman.

He also said that if there was a stepmother, there would be a stepfather, and if they gave birth to another little brother in the future, they would no longer want this naughty and uneducated son.

The father and son had a big quarrel, and Yijiang even went on a hunger strike. Finally, Lao Chen had no choice but to send someone to send Yijiang to their place to stay for two days.

After reading the letter, Old Lady Cheng sighed heavily, bent down, touched Yijiang's head, and said softly.

"Of course, but you don't need the food and silver. Is Yijiang hungry?"

As soon as she asked this question, she heard a rumbling sound from her stomach.

Yijiang held her stomach and nodded shyly.

From yesterday till now, he had only eaten a plate of milk cakes that his grandfather secretly sent him in the middle of the night.

When he got on the bus, his father gave him a lunch box, but when he saw the woman next to his father, he got angry and refused to take it out of spite.

He didn't even take the luggage that the woman helped him pack.

Humph! Hypocritical!

Packing such a big bag, are you hoping you will never go back? !

The dishes he brought were brought to him by his grandfather, who had chased him from far away.

Although he was very hungry, he wanted to save the food for himself and his sister Yu'an.

Old Madam Cheng handed him the freshly-baked milk cake on the table.

"Eat something first to fill your stomach."

Then she went into the kitchen, made a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and heated up some of the dishes that Yijiang brought.

Yijiang wolfed down a large bowl of noodles and turned his attention back to the bicycle in the yard.

"Yuan, what is that?"

"It's a small car. Yijiang, do you want to try it?"

Yijiang nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, how do we play?"

The two little guys went out of the door one after the other. Yu An opened his little mouth and spoke in a baby voice, teaching his little friend how to ride a bike step by step.

"Sit here, hold the sides with both hands, step on the pedals, and press hard."

"Wow!"

"It really moved!"

"So fun!"

Yijiang's face flushed with excitement. He rode the bike around the yard twice. After becoming proficient in it, he rode faster and faster.

The two little guys took turns riding the bikes and had a lot of fun.

From time to time, bursts of childish and cheerful laughter could be heard in the yard, and everyone smiled as they listened.

…

At night, Meng and Tian Qin were troubled again about the accommodation problem of Yijiang and the others.

As a guard, Gu Shang must stay to protect Yi Jiang. It's easy for him, as he can squeeze in with Cheng Feng and the others.

As for Yi Jiang...

Although he and Yu'an were still young, they could sleep in the same room. Most ordinary people slept in the same room with their whole family.

But Yu'an had a secret after all.

"How about this, Yijiang will sleep in Yuan's room, and Yuan will sleep with me these few days."

Old Madam Cheng made the final decision.

Yu An on the side nodded obediently.

It just so happened that he also had something very important to tell his great-grandmother.

Back in the room, the little guy opened the door and looked around like a thief.

Seeing his tiptoeing and sneaky look, Old Lady Cheng couldn't help laughing and shook her head.

"What is Yu An doing?"

"Shh!"

The little guy turned his head and raised his chubby index finger to his mouth.

Then Yu An trotted to his great-grandmother, pursed his lips, looked serious, and lowered his voice.

"Great-grandmother, Yu'an has a big secret to tell you. It's very important."

The little guy said seriously that he wanted to talk about something important, which made Old Lady Cheng laugh, but she still cooperated and leaned over to listen carefully.

"Then Yu An, tell me, what kind of big thing is it?"

Yu An whispered something in her ear.

Old Madam Cheng stood up suddenly, her expression changed drastically, and she was so excited that her breathing became much faster.

"really?!"

The little guy also nodded heavily with a serious look on his face.

Of course, it would be more convincing if we ignore this delicate and chubby little face.

The little baby voice was firm and decisive, enunciating each word.

"really!"

My great-grandmother said that everything about the fairy sister should be told to her first, and only after her consent could it be told to others.

Yu'an remembers it all!

Thinking of this, a certain kid lowered his head and poked his fingers guiltily.

When he first came back, all the elders were there and he didn't want to say anything. Later, when Yijiang came, he had so much fun that he forgot about it.

Fortunately, he remembered it now!

The shock and excitement in Mrs. Cheng's heart could not be described in words. She couldn't even sit still, let alone lie down to rest, and paced back and forth in the room.

Cowpox, cowpox...

Is it really like this?

Yu An, who was lying on the kang, fell asleep soon after dropping a bombshell on his great-grandmother.

Looking at the little guy who was sleeping soundly, Old Madam Cheng touched his little face lovingly and then blew out the candle. But whether he could sleep or not, only she knew.

In a room near the courtyard gate, in the darkness, Gu Shang, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eagle eyes. He stood up abruptly and looked out the window.

Who is it? !
