Chapter 141 is a terrible mistake, how do I fill it in?
"When you were 6 years old, your younger brother was born, and I was still in my postpartum period."
Your father and your uncle are going to the docks to carry heavy loads to earn money to supplement the family income.
So, they took you and 3-year-old Mengli to your uncle's house and entrusted them to Yu Yuan, your aunt, for two days.
Little did we know, while your aunt was putting your six-month-old cousin to sleep,
You took Mengli and stole your uncle's chicks, which were only half a month old, and then went to the river to roast them..."
At this point, Jiang Shuzhi gave the two of them a look that was hard to describe.
Then he continued, "Mengli said she wanted to eat fish, so the two of you went into the water and both of you slipped and fell into the river."
Your aunt couldn't find you anywhere in the house, so she quickly went to the riverbank and found the two of you floating in the river, motionless.
She was terrified and quickly jumped into the water to pull you out. She then ran all the way to find a doctor, which saved your lives...
Upon hearing this, Gao Mengli stared in disbelief and murmured, "So, Auntie has a fever..."
Jiang Shuzhi pursed her lips and nodded, "Yes, she was frightened, soaked to the bone, and ran all the way."
That evening, your father and uncle rushed to the clinic upon hearing the news.
The doctor said you two need to be observed for another night, and you can only come back after the fever subsides.
Your uncle originally intended to make things difficult for your aunt, but you felt sorry for her when you saw her looking so disheveled.
So they told her to go back to the village to change her clothes, but that night she developed a high fever.
When your uncle returned the next day, she was barely alive and was rushed to the clinic.
It's too late...
The illness is cured, but the brain is damaged.
So your memories stop at your childhood.
Because of guilt, I indulged you and Mengli.
Otherwise, do you think your uncle would have lent you two money before?
"That's all because of you, you tricked my mentally challenged aunt and got the money from her."
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi were stunned and incredulous after hearing this.
I knew the original two were eccentric, but I'd never seen them this eccentric before.
You're going to eat chicks that are only half a month old?
Why would you try to coax money from your mentally challenged aunt?
It's truly... a story too long to tell, a tale too numerous to recount...
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi awkwardly touched their noses in unison.
This is such a terrible sin, how can they possibly bear the consequences?!
“Then my cousin…” Lin Xi suddenly remembered this cousin.
What's the difference between these "mother-killing" enemies?
If his cousin saw him and Gao Mengli, wouldn't he want to tear them to pieces?
Upon hearing that the two were talking about Jiang Ya, Shu Zhi sighed, "Your cousin has a hard life too."
He is a very filial son, but your aunt needs someone to take care of her every need.
Therefore, he has not yet found someone who is a good match for him…
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi exchanged a glance, which meant that their cousin was still a widow...
This is an even bigger disaster...
Lin Xi, with a bitter face, whispered in Gao Mengli's ear: "The culprits are actually the two of us..."
How about we find a good marriage for my cousin as compensation?
Gao Mengli frowned, unsure of herself: "This..."
Where can she find such a good marriage?
If they find out and mistreat their aunt, it would be a disservice.
Wouldn't that create an even greater disaster?
Gao Mengli looked troubled: "This is not a good thing. With our connections, where are we going to find a girl who is both kind and accepting of my aunt's situation? We can't just pick one off the street."
Lin Xi scratched her head. "That's true. We can't just settle for anyone. How about we ask around in the village first to see if there are any suitable candidates?"
Gao Mengli rolled her eyes. "You make it sound so easy. Do you think we don't know what's going on with the girls in this village?"
Either they were already married, or they found taking care of their aunt too troublesome.
Seeing that the two had turned their backs to each other and were crickets, Jiang Shuzhi turned around and went back to the old house.
Fortunately, these two aren't as outrageous as they used to be; otherwise, she really wouldn't know what to do with them.
After seeing Jiang leave, Gao Mengli tugged at Lin Xi and said, "Hehe, go find Zhao Hua and drive the carriage to the county town to buy some rice, flour, oil, and other things."
We'll buy some pork; we'll cook dinner for my uncle and aunt tonight.
Lin Xi turned around, went back to her room to get the copper coins, and then rushed towards the village entrance.
Gao Mengli, who was in the courtyard, let out a breath and turned to go to the old house next door.
As soon as she opened the courtyard gate, she received everyone's stares.
"I...I came to see my aunt."
The people inside the room reacted in various ways upon hearing Gao Mengli's words.
Yu Yuan sat in the chair, staring straight at her, then suddenly grinned, "Whose young wife are you? Don't stand there, come and sit down!"
After saying that, he patted the half-stool next to him.
Gao Mengli quickly ran over and sat on the half-bench.
Yu Yuan leaned closer to Gao Mengli, scrutinizing her from head to toe as if examining a precious treasure. "What a pretty little thing! Whose wife are you?!"
Gao Mengli patiently explained, "Aunt, I am your nephew's wife, from Lin Xi's family."
To everyone's surprise, Yu Yuan immediately stood up and shouted, "Nonsense!"
Because she was sitting on a long bench, Gao Mengli was caught off guard when Yu Yuan stood up, causing her to lose her balance and fall flat on her back.
Gao Mengli, who had fallen to the ground, looked completely bewildered.
"Sister-in-law, are you alright?"
Yang Qing and Zhu Mei exclaimed in surprise and quickly pulled Gao Mengli up from the ground, patting the dust off her body.
Dele, her aunt, really doesn't recognize people.
Jiang Yuandao looked apologetically at Gao Mengli and quickly stepped forward, "Nephew's wife, I'm so sorry..."
Gao Mengli snapped out of her daze and quickly waved her hand.
It was she and Lin Xi who had wronged their aunt. "Uncle, why don't you and your aunt stay for dinner before you go back?"
Jiang Yuandao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "That's great, nephew's wife, I was just afraid of causing you trouble."
He had been craving the food at his nephew's house for a long time!
He rubbed his hands together excitedly!
Gao Mengli grinned, "Uncle, what are you saying? It's no trouble at all."
Then she thought of her cousin carrying heavy loads, "By the way, Uncle, an oil mill is being built in the village. You can have my cousin come and work there. He'll earn 25 coins a day."
Then, you shouldn't go back to carrying heavy loads at the docks.
Carrying heavy bags is hard work, not to mention the low pay.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuandao's eyes lit up immediately. "Oh, nephew's wife, this is wonderful!"
Then, he thought of something, stole a glance at Yang Qing and Zhu Mei's expressions, and hesitated again.
"But Ya'er didn't help the village repair the road, won't that..."
Is it unsuitable...?
Moreover, Zhu Mei's family, the second wife of the Lin family, is from Pingding County, which is not far away.
Yang Qing's family home is also in Xingyu Village, which is next to Tutao Village.
He's set a precedent; if those two families also come, wouldn't that make things difficult for the eldest son's nephew's family...?
Gao Mengli caught a glimpse of Jiang Yuandao's expression and began to reconsider her plan.
Although she secretly wanted to make amends for the sins committed by the original owner, she was still not very willing to let others come.
After all, the villagers are under the village chief's supervision, so they won't cause any trouble.
But for those from other villages, it's hard to say.
