Chapter 459: The mouth was too foul, so I plugged it up

"Auntie, I want to take you in to provide for your old age, but I also need your help," An Yinan said, meeting the eyes of Auntie Liu.

Auntie Liu sighed, looked at An Yinan, and then looked at Chen Xun.

After a full three minutes of silence...

"Fine, I'll go with you."

What else could she say? Regardless of whether what Nan Nan said was true or false, she couldn't refuse to go.

If what Nan Nan said was true, her going would be just right to help her look after the children.

If what Nan Nan said was false, it meant she truly hoped for her to come, even going so far as to use this excuse.

"It's settled? You aren't allowed to change your mind." An Yinan's eyes lit up, and the pitiful look from just a moment ago vanished.

"I won't change it!" Auntie Liu looked at this clever little thing and smiled.

"Then shall we go to the Captain's house to eat? Auntie Li said the meal was already prepared." An Yinan moved to help Auntie Liu up.

Auntie Liu hurriedly waved her hand, "I won't go. Since I've promised you, I still need to pack my things, so I won't go join in the excitement."

Seeing that Auntie Liu truly did not want to go, Nan Nan did not insist further.

"Alright, Chen Xun will help you pack tomorrow, you don't need to rush to organize." She wanted to go hunting in the mountains tomorrow to get close to the little animals, so it was perfect to send Xunge away.

Killing two birds with one stone!

Chen Xun looked at her expression and smiled helplessly, but he didn't say anything.

In Quanshui Village, her safety was guaranteed; no matter how she wanted to play or run around, even if he knew, he would indulge her.

When the two of them arrived at the Captain's house, many people had already arrived.

"Nan Nan," a voice called out.

An Yinan turned her head to look, then quickly ran over, "Second Auntie Xie."

"Let me see, you've grown taller." Second Auntie Xie looked her over for a while; nothing else had changed, she had just grown quite a bit.

"Second Auntie hasn't changed at all," An Yinan said.

Second Auntie Xie laughed heartily, "Look at her, she just has such a sweet mouth!"

"I'm old, I have to admit it."

Although not everyone in the village was present, those who had a good relationship with An Yinan all brought extra dishes over.

The next day, Nan Nan went to the Back Mountain, and when she returned, she dragged back a wild boar, allowing the whole village to have a full-pig feast at the Grain Drying Ground.

On the third day, Nan Nan and Chen Xun went to the County.

They went to the Landlord's house first; she knocked on the door, and after a while, someone walked out.

"Nan Nan? Why are you here? Come in quickly." When the Landlady saw An Yinan, she was stunned for a long time before she finally came to her senses.

Seeing the young woman before them still looking as radiant as a flower, the worried hearts of the elderly couple were finally put at ease.

"Auntie, where is Uncle?" An Yinan took the Landlady's arm and walked into the house with her.

Chen Xun followed behind and closed the door properly.

"Him? He can't sit still, he went out for a stroll, I reckon he should be back soon." The Landlady spoke, but her eyes never left An Yinan.

These past few years, life had been getting better and better, and those previous relatives and friends had all come looking for them.

But they had all been scolded away by her.

When her old man was suffering before, what were they doing? They were kicking them while they were down. Now they were all swarming in, wasn't it just because they saw there was something to gain?

The state had returned two more courtyards, and she didn't know how that bunch of people had gotten the news.

The two of them had already discussed it: in the future, all of this would be left for Nan Nan. If it weren't for Nan Nan's help, the two of them wouldn't have lived until now.

"He's back!" Hearing the knocking at the door outside, the Landlady stood up with a smile.

Chen Xun said, "I'll go."

How could they let an elderly person walk back and forth?

"That works too!" The Landlady didn't treat Chen Xun as an outsider either; they were old, and in truth, they treated An Yinan like a granddaughter, and saw Chen Xun as their granddaughter's husband.

"Who are you! Why are you at my aunt's house? Did you smell something here?" A man with a mouthful of yellow teeth looked at Chen Xun with an impatient expression.

Chen Xun frowned.

"Why did he come?" The Landlady was somewhat impatient and was about to walk out of the room.

"Who is he?" An Yinan was a bit confused; for so many years, she had never seen any relatives come to visit the elderly couple, especially not this kind of bottom-of-the-barrel relative.

"My nephew, a piece of trash!" The Landlady looked very displeased.

No matter what day he came, she wouldn't be this angry.

But it just had to be today, when Nan Nan had returned, that this piece of trash came to bring bad luck.

An Yinan pulled the Landlady, "I'll go out first."

She walked out of the courtyard and looked at the man, "Oh, where did this dog come from? Did you come over to beg for a bone?"

Being polite?

Sorry! She really didn't have that in her.

He actually dared to insult her Xunge; was he tired of living?

"Oh my, such a delicate person, my dear aunt is still good to me, is this setting me up for a marriage?" Huang Zhu was all smiles, his eyes squinted until they were the size of soybeans.

"It doesn't matter that your eyes are small, but did you fill your mouth with dung?" An Yinan kicked her foot, and a half-cob of corn on the ground flew over, plugging Huang Zhu's mouth shut.

"Mmph, mmph, mmph." Huang Zhu wanted to pull the corn cob out, but although his mouth was large, the corn cob was exceptionally large too, plugging it airtight.

Chen Xun walked toward An Yinan, "You're naughty."

An Yinan smiled; if she hadn't made a move just now, Xunge definitely would have, which would have affected his status.

This person shouldn't have done one thing, above all else: he shouldn't have used her to make his point.

"Nan Nan?" The old man walked in from outside, discovered the door wasn't closed, and saw a lump of meat squatting on the ground, as well as An Yinan and Chen Xun standing in the corner.

"Uncle," An Yinan smiled.

Seeing her appearance, it didn't look like anything was wrong, so Uncle finally felt at ease.

He looked again at the person squatting on the ground: Huang Zhu!

A person like a piece of dog-skin plaster.

Other relatives, after being scolded by him a few times and realizing they wouldn't even get a sip of soup, would just leave.

Only this Huang Zhu came over every other day.

"What happened to him?" Uncle asked.

An Yinan thought for a moment, "His mouth was too foul, so I plugged it up."

Uncle smiled helplessly; this was something this girl would do.

"Huang Zhu, I have told you many times, your mother and I severed ties long ago; if you come to my door again, I will call the police and find the public security officers." Auntie wore a stern face, her eyes filled with undisguised disgust when she looked at Huang Zhu.

Back then, when her husband was arrested, she went to seek help from her younger sister.

But what about her sister? She kept crying poor to her and chasing her away.

"We are severing ties, we will never see each other again until we die; the mess your family is in is because you committed crimes yourselves, don't bring your bad luck to our house."

"We are a small, humble family and cannot afford to get involved in the affairs of a landlord's family."

That time was when she was at her most desperate!

Her own younger sister, whom she had raised since childhood, had said those words about never seeing each other again until death.

And now? To think she would actually let her son shamelessly come to their door?
