Chapter 153 Name
Yan Mobai's husband, Chen Dashan, tied his youngest son with a strap, followed by his second son, and bent over turning over the dried chilies on the winnowing basket.
Suddenly, a familiar, clear female voice rang in my ears.
"Big Mountain? Second Brother, Third Brother, I'm back!"
"Mom? Wow, why are you only just getting back!"
"cold……"
"Jasmine?"
The silence was broken in a second, and the whole house instantly became lively.
Upon hearing this, the eldest child, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, threw down the burlap sack he was holding and ran outside as fast as he could.
"Mom! You're finally back. Wow..."
Yan Mobai put down the basket in her hand, squatted down, and hurriedly wiped away the tears of the three children who rushed into her arms and were crying loudly.
"What's wrong? You're such a grown-up, why are you crying..."
The eldest child didn't care about any of that and hugged Yan Mobai's head, saying, "They all say you're not coming back, and you don't want me and Dad anymore..."
"Who said that?" Chen Dashan asked fiercely.
"That's what everyone says. Our family went into debt to pay for my grandparents' medical treatment. My mother was so afraid of poverty that she ran away. We're motherless now..."
Erwa chimed in, "They! Are bad!"
"I'm going to find them!" Chen Dashan said angrily, but Chen Mobai grabbed him.
"They're just sour grapes, ignore them! I only had two days off this time, and I just wanted to spend time with my kids. They can say whatever they want, we can't control them. We just need to focus on making the most of our lives."
After Yan Mobai finished speaking, she got up, took the hands of Da Wa and Er Wa, and went back into the house.
Seeing her children crying until their faces turned pale, her heart ached with each passing moment, and she kept assuring them, "You are my children. Even if I don't want myself, I will never abandon you."
"Really?"
"Didn't I tell you? Your mother went to earn money." Chen Dashan said helplessly.
These three idiots were perfectly fine before they saw Mo Bai, weren't they?
Why does he act like his stepfather, who abused them, as soon as he sees his mother?
Heaven is my witness, he never hit or scolded them!
As for what the villagers are saying? The two kids didn't come home to complain! He really doesn't know!
Yan Mobai took out a few pieces of clothing from her basket and held them up to Da Wa's body, saying, "They're about the same, Da Wa, go try them on!"
The eldest child patted the tuft of hair on his head, looking bewildered: "New clothes? For me?"
"Yes, Erwa and Sanwa also have some. Dashan, here, this is yours. And there are also some for Dad and Mom. I'll take them over later."
Chen Dashan grinned, then forced a smile and said, "I don't need any! What do I, a grown man, need new clothes? But you, why didn't you buy yourself a few?"
Yan Mobai smiled and said, "Don't men wear new clothes? The one you're wearing has no patches left. Go and change it for me."
"Eh!"
The eldest child had already changed his clothes and came over shyly: "Mom, does it look good?"
"nice!"
"Mom, why didn't you buy me a bigger one?"
Yan Mobai was taken aback: "Is it too small? It looks just right to me."
The older child pursed his lips and said seriously, "I grow fast, so if I buy a larger size, I can wear it for several more years..."
Yan Mobai felt a sudden, sharp pain in her heart, as if pricked by a needle.
She patted the older child's head: "It's okay, you're too small now, Mom will buy you another one..."
"No, Mom doesn't work hard to earn money, I don't want Mom to work so hard..."
Yan Mobai's nose tingled with emotion, and she hugged her eldest child tightly: "It's not hard, Mother isn't tired..."
Child, you'll suffer if you stay with her!
"Mo Bai? It really is you! I just saw you in the field and thought I was seeing things. It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."
"Father, mother."
"Hey. Are you hungry? I'll go cook you something."
"I'm not hungry, I ate before I came back. Since you're here, I won't have to go looking for you later."
The in-laws were puzzled: "Looking for us?"
Yan Mobai took two sets of clothes out of the basket and handed them over: "I guessed I bought these for you. Try them on and see if they fit."
"Clothes? You child, we're practically half-buried, what do we need new clothes for? Keep them for yourself!"
Yan Mobai said helplessly, "I can't wear this pattern. Take it."
"This……"
Just then, Chen Dashan came out after changing his clothes and stood awkwardly by the door.
Yan Mobai: "That's good, just right."
Chen Dashan then walked out of the room with a silly grin.
Yan Mobai said, "I received 120 yuan this time. I spent some on clothes and some on transportation, so I have 80 yuan left. I'll keep 10 yuan for transportation in case of emergencies. As for the remaining 70, Dashan, you keep 20 for household expenses and take the 50 to pay off your debts."
Chen Dashan nodded vigorously, then suddenly looked up: "Travel fare? Can I still continue doing this job?"
"Yes! The boss only gave us two days off, and we still have to keep working."
Upon hearing this, Chen's father exclaimed, "Keep it up! Keep it up!"
Chen's mother was even more upset: "It's all my fault for being so weak and unable to support you all..."
Yan Mobai looked at her mother-in-law, who looked like she was made of water, and felt a headache coming on. She quickly dragged Chen Dashan out the door.
The villagers who saw her on the road were all astonished.
"Jasmine?"
"Get to work?"
The villagers were puzzled. Didn't they say Yan Mo had run away for nothing? Why is she back?
“My sister’s relative’s shop is short-staffed, and she’s taking care of me by asking me to work there… I can’t talk to you anymore, I don’t have much time off, I need to hurry up and pay back the money I owe to **.”
Within half an hour, everyone in the village knew that Chen Dashan's wife, Yan Mobai, had not only not run away, but had also earned money to pay off her debts.
Everyone was shocked.
In fact, it wasn't just the villagers who were shocked; Yan Mobai herself was also in a daze, feeling that all of this was unreal.
"Dashan, now that we've paid back this 50 yuan, how much do we still owe?"
"70..."
Yan Mobai counted on her fingers: "My boss said that I can become a full-time employee next month."
There are two ways to receive a salary... I'm thinking of the commission-based one, what do you think?
I won't be coming back for the holiday; I'll try to sell as much as I can.
"Come to the city with your child to see me! Then, let's save money and pay back the 70 yuan all at once!"
Chen Dashan stared at Yan Mobai, choking back tears, and said, "I'll listen to you, my wife. You've suffered so much following me..."
"Hey, what are you saying? We already have three kids, and you're saying this? The decision to get treatment for my in-laws was a joint one..."
There's another person in our shop who worked for the small business owner for six months and then managed to bring her child to the city to attend school. I'll try my best to learn from her..."
When Yan Mobai said these words, her eyes were filled with hope.
She felt that the days that had once suffocated her had suddenly become something to look forward to.
And all of this is because of Hua Lichu.
That little girl is only 16 years old!
She changed her fate, oh no, she changed the fate of her entire family.
In the dead of night, she wondered countless times what would have happened to her if Hua Lichu hadn't been there.
Numbly raising children?
The person being chased for debt looks down on you?
Yan Mobai trembled all over. This was too terrifying! She didn't even have the courage to continue thinking about it.
At the beginning of Huali, pears...
Yan Mobai got up, took out a piece of paper from her pocket, and the words "Hua Lichu" were clearly written on it.
"Mo Bai, you can write now? And such difficult characters at that!"
"Yes, this is my boss's name. Isn't it nice? I don't know how to write anything else, so I specifically asked someone to teach me these three characters..."
"nice."
"What do you think? Should I have Da Wa and the others learn these three characters too? They're the name of our family's savior!"
"I think it works!"
