Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Abandoning the Two Young Ones and Running Away Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Abandoning the Two Young Ones and Running Away Dad, why haven’t you come back yet.
Yun Xiaoxiao had already sat in the ox cart, and there were a few aunts on it as well.
“Educated Youth Yun, what are you going to town to buy?”
Yun Xiaoxiao felt one of the aunts had a somewhat malicious look in her eyes, “Some things that can be used.”
“So Educated Youth Yun isn’t planning to go back to the city?”
Yun Xiaoxiao had long guessed that the female supporting character rarely worked in the fields and, in many people’s eyes, was considered lazy and greedy, becoming an object of envy.
She wasn’t at all surprised by their sour words.
“I’m going back to the city, after all I’ve been down in the countryside for so many years, I should go back and see my parents,” Yun Xiaoxiao said quite openly, which made that aunt quite dissatisfied with Yun Xiaoxiao’s response.
“My parents have been sending me things over the years, and I might as well check the post office while I’m there.”
Some things could be passed off as being sent by the female supporting character’s parents, so no one would suspect the origin of her belongings.
Before, the male lead deliberately claimed that the things he had brought back were sent by the female supporting character’s parents.
It was also because of this that many young wives and older aunts in the team felt dissatisfied.
The young wives were jealous, but the older aunts felt regretful.
Why didn’t they have their sons marry Educated Youth Yun back then?
If they had, the things sent by Educated Youth Yun’s parents would have been theirs.
They hadn’t been on the ox cart for long when the news spread that Yun Xiaoxiao had abandoned her two young ones and run away.
Da Shu’s mother learned of this first-hand and immediately went to find Captain Zhao’s father-in-law.
“Dad, Yun Xiaoxiao has run away.”
As soon as this statement came out, Captain Zhao himself was stunned and looked at Laosan’s Wife in amazement before finally coming back to his senses after quite a while.
Had Laosan’s Wife really run off?
Immediately, he could not care less about anything else and strode toward Laosan’s house.
Da Shu’s mother wanted to see the drama unfold.
Over here, Da Bao had already hidden the things given to him by Yun Xiaoxiao, and the two brothers were sitting on the threshold of the main room, staring at the courtyard door. They didn’t go out to play and planned to just sit there waiting for Yun Xiaoxiao to come back.
But the door was suddenly pushed open from outside.
Da Shu’s mother was a bit slower but saw that Captain Zhao had already pushed the door open and entered the yard.
“Da Bao, Xiao Bao, where is your mother?” Usually, they called their parents ‘Dad and Mom,’ but it was only Laosan’s Wife who made the children call Laosan and her own parents.
“Mom went to town to pick up a parcel.”
Went to town to pick up a parcel?
Indeed, that was something that happened.
But Da Shu’s mother did not believe it.
“Dad, Yun Xiaoxiao was seen leaving with a suitcase by many, Laosan’s Wife is trying to sneak away while Laosan is not home, abandoning her two children,” Da Shu’s mother said.
“My mom didn’t abandon us,” Da Bao’s eyes quickly filled with tears while he choked on his rebuttal.
Xiao Bao suddenly burst into tears crying, “Mommy….” as tears uncontrollably streamed down his little face.
The two brothers were already particularly worried that their mother might leave them behind and no longer want them, and now that Laosan’s Wife blurted it out, they could no longer hold back and started crying while still protesting, looking very pitiful.
“Your mother….” Da Shu’s mother tried to continue, wanting to say, ‘Your mother doesn’t want you anymore.’, ‘Your mother doesn’t want you.’
But she was silenced by a glance from Captain Zhao, her father-in-law, and he told her to shut up, “Shut your mouth.”
