Chapter 186: No Need to Please Anyone Anymore
The woman's forceful attitude silenced Yang Mingzhong, who could only look at the little girl who had been kicked to the ground with pity.
The little girl knew that her uncle was her family and that he treated her well, but she didn't ask anything of him. She just kept kowtowing to her aunt.
How much hardship must one endure to learn to read people's faces at such a young age?
Yang Fenglan felt extremely bitter.
"You bastard, that's too vicious! I'm going to teach her a lesson!" Xu Yingying rolled up her sleeves, ready to go out and fight.
Yang Fenglan stopped her, saying, "Forget it, she was only thinking of herself, so she's not really wrong."
With the famine causing widespread hunger, and now another family has been given someone else's child, who would be willing to raise them?
Perhaps the child's uncle is willing, but this uncle also lives by his wife's wishes and can't make the decisions.
Xu Yingying sighed, "Why does your Yang family produce so many cowards?"
Yang Fenglan: ...
What does this have to do with her?
She's not the original owner of this body, okay?
Outside, the little girl was crying her eyes out.
"Auntie, please don't abandon me. I can do everything around the house. I don't want anything, I just want you to give me something to eat."
It's just that the world is in such a mess these days that people don't dare to go out and wander around. Otherwise, there would definitely be a crowd gathered in front of Yang Fenglan's house right now.
Yang Fenglan kept looking out the window. "Yingying, it's inconvenient for me to show up. Could you go and take that child in for me? I want to find out what's going on with this child."
"Row."
Xu Yingying swaggered out the door.
Upon seeing that there were people at home, Yang Mingzhong and his wife were taken aback for a moment, then visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman looked at Xu Yingying and said, "Hey, you're Zhou Jingyi's wife, right?"
"You are?"
“We are his uncle and aunt. This girl is Zhou Jingyi’s younger sister. I’m bringing her back to you today.”
Xu Yingying frowned. "How come I didn't know Zhou Jingyi had a younger sister?"
"You're right not to know!" The woman grabbed the little girl and threw her in front of Xu Yingying. "This is your sister-in-law. You'll be following her from now on."
Xu Yingying helped the little girl up. "Auntie, right? My mother and Zhou Jingyi have both fled the famine. Now I'm all alone at home. I can't afford to raise this child. You should take her back."
"I don't care. All I know is this is her home. I'm just bringing her back. Whether you want it or not is your business. As her aunt, I've already done more than enough by raising her." The woman looked displeased.
Having finally found someone to shift the blame, how could we let them go?
“I’m willing to feed you, but I don’t have any food. I’d like to borrow some from my uncle and aunt.” Xu Yingying smiled.
The woman immediately became alarmed and grabbed Yang Mingzhong, running away. "I've raised your child for seven years, I'm already being lenient by not asking you for money or food!"
"Auntie, don't go! We'll borrow money if we don't have any food. You can't just watch us starve to death!" Xu Yingying chased after them.
The woman ran faster and faster.
"Hey, why are you running? I'm not going to eat you!"
Xu Yingying smiled smugly and turned back into the courtyard.
The little girl had stopped crying and looked at Xu Yingying, calling out in a clear voice, "Sister-in-law."
"Please don't send me away, sister-in-law. I can do a lot of things for you."
This obedient and ingratiating appearance made Xu Yingying feel a pang of sadness.
He patted the girl on the shoulder and said, "First, I'm not your sister-in-law; second, if you follow me, you won't need to please anyone anymore."
"Hmm?" The little girl tilted her head, unable to understand Xu Yingying's words.
