Chapter 59: Meeting Her Aunt
Liu quickly jumps out of the cart and finds a carriage coming from behind. His ox cart is parked in the middle of the road, obviously blocking the carriage.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’ll just move the cart aside.” Liu knows his fault and does not argue with them. He hurriedly drives the ox cart to the side and makes the road free.
Liu, driving the ox cart to the side, thinks it would be okay to get out of the way, but he hears the woman continuing to scold: “A good dog doesn’t block the way, don’t you hear that? How could such a broken ox cart get on the road? ”
Hearing this, Liu suddenly gets angry. He turns around and finds an old woman, who is dressed appropriately, opens the curtain of the cart. Although she is a woman of regular features, her face looks mordant.
“Old lady, how could you say so? I have already made way for you? Why are you still swearing? ”
“What? You call me old lady? ” The woman’s voice suddenly becomes higher: “What’s wrong? It’s you who block the way and waste our time?”
Hearing the voice, Jin Dabao feels more and more familiar with it. Then he opens his eyes and looks intently. The woman who is scolding there is none other than his second sister, Jin Xiaodie.
“Sister, why are you here?” cries Jin Dabao.
As soon as she hears Jin Dabao’s voice, she hurries down from the carriage and says: “Dabao? Why are you here? ”
“Well, it’s a long story. Sister, where are you going in a hurry with the carriage?” Jin Dabao sighs, but he doesn’t want to mention his cowardly experience today, because he still feels hard to breathe when he recalls the loss of one thousand Liang of silver.
“I’m worried about you. So I’m going to Xingtian village to find you.”
It turns out that after Jin Dabao left Jiang’s home and returned to Xingtian village, no one has heard from him any more. Jin Xiaodie has been waiting for several days, being anxious like an ant on the hot pot, but she still failed to hear any news from her brother.
Until today, Jin Xiaodie is too worried to wait. She forebodes that there must be something wrong that has happened to her brother. After discussing with Jiang Qingshou, she decides to go to Xingtian village to see the situation of Jin Dabao. So, she hires a carriage, and rushes to Xingtian village.
However, on the halfway, she is blocked by a broken ox cart. To her surprise, the one sitting on the broken ox cart is her brother, Jin Dabao.
Jin Weiwei and Little Rich are gathering flowers in the field. Suddenly, they hear the noise on the road. Looking back, they find that their cart is in difficulty, so they stop playing and rush back.
But as soon as she runs to the cart, Jin Weiwei stops. Suddenly, her whole body pricks up like a hedgehog, with a sense of vigilance.
Little Rich stands beside Jin Weiwei, and immediately feels her anger and uneasiness. He looks at the carriage immediately, only to find a thin ordinary middle-aged woman standing beside Jin Dabao. Looking carefully, he finds her face with a small nose and eyes seem similar to Jin Dabao’s, which look rather snobbish.
At this time, Jin Xiaodie doesn’t notice Jin Weiwei, because her attention is all focused on Jin Dabao.
She looks at Jin Dabao’s messy hair, dirty and worn clothes in a dusty situation. She feels extremely unpleasant.
“My poor Dabao, what’s the matter with you? Why are you in such a poor condition? Is Jin Weiwei deliberately bullying you?”
Jin Dabao also feels wronged. If as usual, he must ask his sister to help him to scold Jin Weiwei, but when he thinks of the weird experiences that happened recently, he really dare not say anything bad about her. So he has to endure his sufferings and unwillingly says:
“Sister, nothing happens to me. Today I trip up the mountain and fell accidentally.”
“How old are you? How can you still fall carelessly?” Jin Xiaodie doesn’t really believe it. Even if he really fell today, his injury couldn’t be caused by his falling only.
“I really fell today. I twisted my foot. It hurts now.” Jin Dabao can’t help but tell Jin Xiaodie about his suffering.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
As soon as she sees that Jin Dabao’s ankle which has swollen like a steamed bun, she screams with exaggeration, “Ouch, it must be very painful.”
“He deserves the pain!” Jin Weiwei walks to the bullock cart and looks at Jin Xiaodie directly. “The reason of his poor condition is his greed. It’s his fault. It’s God’s retribution.”
Jin Xiaodie stares at Jin Weiwei for a long time and says: “You are Jin Weiwei?”
“What? Is my aunt too old to remember me now? ” Jin Weiwei takes another step forward, approaches Jin Xiaodie and continues, “Come on, I will let you see clearly.”
“You are Jin Weiwei…” Being overwhelmed by Weiwei’s momentum, Jin Xiaodie steps back unconsciously.
No wonder Jin Dabao said that Jin Weiwei is not the same as before. Not only her dress is different from her slovenly style before, but also her momentum grows different.
“If I’m not Jin Weiwei, who else can I be?” Jin Weiwei asks with a cold face, “I can’t imagine meeting aunt here. Can I say we are doomed to encounter each other?”
After repeatedly confirming that the girl is Jin Weiwei, Jin Xiaodie calms herself down. Even though she is different now, she is still a green girl, a niece of her. She has no reason to be afraid of this young girl.
Thinking of this, Jin Xiaodie’s arrogance comes back again. Then she raises her hand, points to Jin Weiwei’s nose and scolds:
“Well, you bad girl. Now you grow up, right? How dare you talk to your aunt like this? Do you forget how much my family provided for you when you were a child? ”
Jin Weiwei snorts: “I will never forget how you treated me in my whole life. I not only remember the leftovers and rotten soup I ate, but also the slaps and the whippings I’ve received.”
“You… You… ” Jin Xiaodie can’t imagine that Jin Weiwei becomes so articulate now. If as before, she would not return one word even if being scolded ten thousand times.
