Years: Return to the Leisurely Fishing Village

Chapter 96 That's great, I picked up a gold nugget
Bai Mei looked at her mother's back as she left in a panic, with a mocking smile on her lips. How sad it was to be born in this family!
When he was young, he sold her for money without any care.

When her husband died, she did not receive any comfort. Instead, she felt very happy that she could find someone else to marry in a few years and get an extra dowry.

Don’t you consider at all how she feels, whether she feels uncomfortable or in pain?
It was as if she was a commodity that could be exchanged at any time.

On the other hand, the precious child that her son holds in his hands has not only achieved nothing, but is also lazy and fond of gambling. At home, he only knows how to ask for clothes and food.

Even so, just because he is a man, he can act without restraint, and even if he curses when he gets angry, no one will dare to say anything.

Instead, he smiled apologetically, hoping that his son would calm down.

She has gotten used to it over the years. If she doesn't stand up, she will be bullied.

It's fine that she had no ability to resist when she was young, but now, they can't control her at will. If they dare to cause trouble for her again, then both sides will be destroyed and no one will have a good life.

The residents upstairs and downstairs also heard it, and no one dared to come out.

Bai Mei placed some bricks in the yard and occasionally stored some small items there, but they all disappeared in the end. She didn't think of making a fuss about it, she just wanted to find something to hold against them.

If anyone wants to bully him, don't blame her for punishing them harshly. No one wants to be charged with the crime of theft.

Bai Mei even dared to report her own family, let alone these insignificant outsiders.

Who dares to come out to watch the fun? They all hide at home, feeling guilty!
Bai Mei naturally understood that since those things were taken, she felt that they were worth it. Otherwise, she would have to listen to people gossiping about her, which would have made her ears itchy.

Just as I was about to lock the door, I saw Tan Shaoyang.

Bai Mei's mood was not affected at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "You came at the right time. Do you want to comfort Sister Bai?"

Tan Shaoyang touched her face with his slightly cold hand, and she felt her shiver for a moment.

"Lock the door."

"Did that person see you just now?"

"Are you freezing me on purpose?"

Tan Shaoyang raised his foot and hooked the door to lock it. Then he put his broad hands around the back of her head, moved closer to her, and covered her rosy lips.

The movements were gentle, yet tender, and it made me feel itchy.

Bai Mei couldn't stand his procrastinating movements, so she stood on tiptoe, put her arms around his neck, and increased the intensity of the movements.

Tan Shaoyang bent down and cooperated. The two of them kissed passionately. The sounds echoed in their ears and sounded particularly real.

Bai Mei couldn't stand the man's fierce counterattack and pushed him away.

Tan Shaoyang held the person firmly, still in a lazy mood, "Are you feeling better? Let's do something to forget our troubles!"

Bai Mei put her hand inside his cotton-padded jacket and touched his firm abdominal muscles, "Do you still dare? My mom is making a fuss and she's guessing you're a wild man!"

"Young man, you really want to be with me, a widow whose husband has died. There are so many gossips out there!"

Tan Shaoyang proved it directly with his actions by picking the person up. They didn't know each other, so there was nothing to be afraid of. If he really ran up to them, it would be hard to say who would confront whom!

He leaned close to Bai Mei's ear, bit her earring gently, and said in a low voice, "Sister Bai is not afraid, so why should I be afraid?"

"It's my honor to serve Sister Bai."

There was a coaxing tone in his voice that made Bai Mei's body tremble.

In the moment of panic, Bai Mei felt a cold hand and shivered. She raised her hand to hold down his hand and muttered softly, "Cold."

Tan Shaoyang was reluctant to withdraw, so he pressed it and said with a smile, "It won't be cold in a while."

Be honest with each other and the room will become beautiful.

All the worries and inner sadness were completely thrown behind with the intense fight.

Tan Shaoyang asked someone to lean against him with his back, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How is it? Are you okay?"

Bai Mei breathed slowly. Every time she did it was like a battle, but it filled the emptiness in her heart. She felt very satisfied and happy.

Leaning lazily against him, she nodded and said, "It's okay! You're very caring. I can always put on the clouds and feel great!"

In this regard, he has never been wrong.

Tan Shaoyang pulled the quilt over himself, letting the person lean against him, his hands protecting his territory, guarding it firmly, not willing to move at all.

Bai Mei was indulging herself, wishing she could hook him up and make him unwilling to leave!
As the saying goes, if you don't keep people, God will keep them. The sky was dark and soon heavy rain fell.

Bai Mei listened to the sound of rain outside and smiled charmingly, "You can't leave now, you have to stay and help me warm the bed."

Tan Shaoyang shrugged, looking nonchalant, "Then don't leave, feed Sister Bai well, there's nothing to do in the winter anyway."

Bai Mei shuddered at his suggestive words and subconsciously avoided him, "Stop it, my waist is sore!"

"You always make a fuss and have a lot of ideas!"

"If you weren't so green at the beginning, I would have thought you were experienced!"

Tan Shaoyang did not argue, but smiled happily, and said in a voice of praise, "Who told Sister Bai to be so delicate and soft! If you don't take advantage of it, it would be a pity to waste such a good figure."

"It really grows on my heart."

"Besides, Sister Bai is so cooperative, how can this not encourage my arrogance?" If you want to make further advances, you must have opportunities to make further advances!
Bai Mei sneered at him, "How dare you say that."

"You can coax people with your mouth!"

Bai Mei was curious, so she raised her hand and nudged him, and asked tentatively, "Didn't your mother talk to you about dating? She should have arranged it, right?"

"It's 21 next year, right? You're considered late in the village."

Tan Shaoyang shook his head, looking nonchalant, "Don't worry, who can compare to Sister Bai? Let's talk about it in a few years."

Bai Mei raised her hand to hit him, "How many years do you want me to stay with you?"

Tan Shaoyang looked at her and said, "That depends on Sister Bai. It starts with you and ends with you."

Bai Mei was greedy, "What if I have a big appetite and am never satisfied, and want to hold you for life?"

Tan Shaoyang had experienced a hopeless marriage and didn't want to step into the grave of marriage at all. "That's perfect. I picked up a gold nugget."

Bai Mei knew it was impossible, but she was still very happy being coaxed. It turned out that her decision at that time was right, otherwise she wouldn't be able to enjoy the happiness she has now.

While they were chatting, something unexpected happened.

It was already evening when all this noise came and my stomach was growling.

Bai Mei struggled to get up, without covering herself, not afraid of being seen, "Prepare something to eat, I'm hungry."

Tan Shaoyang stood up and suggested, "Let's go eat outside! You're tired too, I'm afraid you can't stand steadily."

Bai Mei: "..." Indeed, her legs are sore. "Then let's go!"

She had to accept that someone felt sorry for her, and she didn't want to waste the opportunity to show his expression.

Tan Shaoyang left after the rain stopped the next day. Bai Mei was not the kind of person who would dwell on trivial matters. After years of hard work and a fight, the resentment and discomfort she felt had long since disappeared.

When I got home, the door was locked. I knew he was not at home. I couldn't go out to the sea in this weather. Could he have gone out in the sea breeze?
Turning around, he went to his aunt's house and saw Tan Shaoqing weaving a web. He asked, "Sister Qing, have you seen my parents?"

Tan Shaoqing raised his head and replied with a smile on his face, "Uncle, aunt, eldest brother and second brother have all gone to your grandmother's house to help cut sugar cane. They said they helped a lot in building the house a few days ago. We have to do our part."

"When no one was home, grandma locked the door and kept mumbling to herself, fearing someone would come to her house."

Tan Shaoyang nodded in understanding. The old lady was worried that someone would break into his room and steal his money!

When it comes to being warm and heartwarming, it has to be the little old lady who is always thinking about her.

Looking at the damp and cold temperature, he said, "Sister Qing, if it's too cold, light a fire. If you are weak, don't try to resist. If you get sick, you will not only suffer, but you will also have to spend money."

Tan Shaoqing felt warm at heart when she heard what he said. It was a rare thing for her to have someone care about her.

"Don't worry! I'll get it done in a moment. My third child is becoming more and more caring."

Tan Shaoyang listened to the praise, scratched his head, and was too lazy to say any more emotional words.

When I got home, the weather was chilly and damp from the rain. I simply sat by the stove, built a fire and roasted some sweet potatoes so that the little radish could come over and have some sweet treats.

As for lunch, eat whatever you have.

There was no seafood left, so I just peeled sweet potatoes and stewed a pot of sweet potato porridge.

Just as the food was cooked, it started to drizzle. The village roads were made of mud and were extremely slippery and muddy. Walking on the road, it didn't take long before your feet were covered in mud.

Not to mention it's heavy, if it gets dirty and needs to be cleaned, it's difficult to dry once it's wet.

It was under such circumstances that my sister-in-law brought her child to my house.

The child is also sensible. When he gets home, he takes the initiative to find a wooden stick and pokes the mud off his shoes. He is so well-behaved that it makes people feel particularly fond of him.

Tan Shaoyang thought of preparing a pair of water shoes for them so that it would not be so difficult to walk in wet and rainy weather.

"Sister-in-law, please check the shoe sizes of the children. I'll bring them some pairs of waders when I go out."

Mrs. Tan didn't want to take advantage of others, so she waved her hands repeatedly, "You don't have to spend money recklessly. You only go out for dinner, and you stay at home most of the time."

Tan Shaoyang was unwilling to argue with her, but instead asked the child if he wanted it, which naturally received excited cheers.

"Ask your mother to measure your shoes, and then give the measured rope to Uncle San."

Seeing that he really wanted to buy it, Mrs. Tan did not refuse.

When it was time to eat, Tan Shaoyang still didn't see his second sister-in-law, so he looked at Tan's eldest sister-in-law and asked, "Sister-in-law, isn't the second sister-in-law coming over?"

Mrs. Tan was frozen for a moment, then she told the truth, "Your second sister-in-law said that the children are young and the weather is wet, so it's inconvenient for them to go out. They can just have a meal at home."

Second sister-in-law Tan didn't want to come over, but as the eldest sister-in-law, she couldn't force her to come.

When Tan Shaoyang heard this, he immediately frowned. His second sister-in-law was too impatient. She wanted to leave the whole family behind as soon as the house was built. Wasn't she afraid of being gossiped about?
I don't care. If he doesn't want to come, then he won't be the one being talked about.

"Since you're not coming, then we won't wait any longer."

Each person had a bowl of sweet potato porridge, which was delicious.

My eldest sister-in-law is pregnant and she attaches great importance to this baby, so naturally I won’t go to help. The little brat will eat me to death, so the child must be left at home.

Tan Shaoyang was very satisfied with their good appetite. He put down his chopsticks only after his belly was full.

Mrs. Tan couldn't come over, so she didn't come over at night.

Tan Shaoyang had an indifferent attitude and didn't call out. If you want to come, come. If you don't want to come, forget it.

Several days passed like this.

The villagers are free, so they get together and talk about all kinds of topics without considering the authenticity.

"The second son's wife is really amazing. As soon as she built a new house, she wanted to live a simple life behind closed doors. If I were the wife of Mr. Tan, I would definitely save money to let the third son get married."

"Instead of spending all his wealth on the eldest and second sons, the eldest son has to support his parents. If he moves out, the third son will definitely be the one to take care of them in the future. I don't know what he is thinking."

"After Mr. Tan started doing some business, his ideas were really beyond everyone's understanding."

"He actually instigated his parents to let the eldest and second child build a house. Is this a lack of brains or just too stupid?"

It started as a small-scale discussion, but it escalated into a heated discussion and became something that everyone was watching.

The weather finally cleared up, and Mrs. Tan carried her youngest son on her back and took her tools to go out to sea to look for goods. The food stored at home had been finished, and if they didn't want to starve, they had to go out to sea to find food.

But when she came out, she felt something was wrong.

Although she was greeting people enthusiastically, the way they looked at her was hard to describe, as if they were avoiding her and didn't want to have too much contact with her.

She was completely confused and couldn't figure out the reason.

Especially when she was picking up goods, she felt that everyone's eyes were flickering and they were talking about her. When she looked up, they were avoiding her gaze.

Although she didn't hear any talking, she felt in her subconscious that someone was discussing her.

With a skeptical attitude, he let Pangdun go out for a walk after returning home. The adults didn't consider the children when talking, so Pangdun listened and went home to complain.

When Mrs. Tan Er knew what the women in the village were talking about, her face turned pale immediately. She just wanted to start the fire herself and didn't want to make any trouble. Why should she accept other people's criticism?
Anger distorted her thoughts.

I wonder if the third brother did it on purpose?
After all, the hidden meaning in the women's words is that they feel sorry for Tan Shaoyang!
So when it was time for dinner, she took her two sons to the old house in a huff. At that time, they held their bowls and started eating, which made her face full of indescribable expression.

When Tan Shaoyang saw the people, he greeted them enthusiastically, "Second sister-in-law, bring the children to eat."

As a result, Tan Shaoyang's efforts were met with a cold shoulder. Mrs. Tan glared at him coldly and asked him in an accusing tone,

"Third brother, I'm alone with two children. It's wet and I don't think it's convenient to go out. Why are you talking nonsense outside?"

"When did I build a new house? I just wanted to live a quiet life behind closed doors. How can you open your mouth and accuse me?"

"Your second brother is not at home, so you can't bully others like this!"

The accusations made Tan Shaoyang confused.

Who did he falsely accuse? What gossip did he spread?

It was she who didn't want to come over, so why was she blaming him?
Tan Shaoyang was so angry that he laughed. He was just sitting at home when disaster struck from the sky. He was more wronged than Dou E. He couldn't wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
