Chapter 515 Peace of mind

"What is that?" Jiang Wenming thought he had heard it wrong and asked again.

Jiang Jiyun stood up and smiled, picked up a pen and drew on paper to show his uncle, "How is it? Is my drawing good-looking?"

Jiang Wenming looked down at the portrait in the book. He squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was.

Jiang Jiyun took out a human skull specimen from the Japanese laboratory and showed it to him, "Look, does my drawing look like it?"

"Oh my god!" Jiang Wenming was startled when he saw a skeleton suddenly appear in front of him.

Jiang Jiyun quickly put the things into the space and said, "Now see if my drawing looks like it?"

Jiang Wenming nodded speechlessly. "This thing is quite scary, but your drawing doesn't look like it!"

After putting the skeleton away, the two of them were looking at the big turtle and talking when they heard someone talking at the gate of the yard.

"New sisters, you live here. These are your eggs." Qi Guimei brought several children to the gate of the yard.

Jiang Jiyun turned around and saw the children he had played with before. He ran over and took the eggs from Qi Guimei and said, "Thank you, sister!"

"You're welcome. How's the place where you were bitten by the turtle just now?" Qi Dalong asked curiously.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Jiang Jiyun said embarrassedly.

Jiang Wenming took out a bag from the house and said, "Here, two rock candies each. Thank you for taking my child out to play today."

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. We are all thanks to our sister." Qi Dalong said as his hand skillfully took the rock candy.

Qi Guimei took the rock sugar and said, "We followed my sister and picked up a lot of pheasant eggs. We have never picked up so many at the entrance of the village since we were young."

Jiang Wenming saw the egg in the youngest girl's hand and smiled, "You are so lucky."

He could tell at a glance that the pheasant eggs were from the space.

"Uncle, can I go out and play with them for a while?" Jiang Jiyun put the roasted eggs in his hand into his uncle's hand.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Jiang Wenming suddenly felt a little worried.

"It's okay, uncle. We are playing in the village. If my sister wants to come back, we will send her back." Qi Guimei assured her sister when she saw that her uncle was worried.

"My name is Jiang Jiyun, you can call me Xiaoyun." Jiang Jiyun followed behind them.

Jiang Wenming looked at his niece who ran away with a group of children without hesitation. He turned around speechlessly and resigned himself to his fate and went to wash clothes for the children.

Jiang Jiyun followed Qi Guimei and walked in the village. She carefully identified the road and paid attention to the people passing by.

"You stupid girl, where have you been? You didn't help with the housework at all and just ran out to play?" With a shout, Jiang Jiyun saw a woman in front of him rushing towards them aggressively.

The woman had her hair tied up and was holding a stick tightly in her hand. The girl next to her looked like she was trembling with fear, her face as pale as paper.

Just when the woman was about to rush to the girl, Qi Dalong and Qi Erlong suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of the girl.

They opened their arms, blocked the woman's way, and shouted in unison: "Auntie, you can't hit Sister An An!"

Seeing this, Qi Guimei and others gathered around and protected the girl named An An behind them.

Jiang Jiyun stood aside, watching this scene, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The woman obviously didn't expect so many people to come out to protect An An, and her face turned red with anger.

She glared at the group of people in front of her and shouted angrily: "What are you doing? Who said I was going to beat her? Have you seen me beat her? Just because she ate the food at my house and asked her to help with some work, that's bullying her? Then take her back and let your parents raise her!"

Jiang Jiyun's gaze fell on the girl named An An. She lowered her head, said nothing, and just silently took a step back, as if trying to avoid the quarrel.

The woman looked at the silent girl with disappointment and asked, "Anxin, you know the cause of your parents' death very well in your heart. We have never argued with you about these things. We are supporting you now, not because we expect you to give us anything in the future, but because your father and my man were good brothers."

"Everyone's life is hard nowadays. We ask you to help with some housework. Do you feel wronged? Every time you act as if we are abusing you. Look at how pitiful you look! In this case, you should just go back to your own home!" The woman became more and more angry and walked past An Xin without looking back.

"Aunt Qin, Aunt Qin!" An Xin's voice echoed in the air, with a hint of fear and despair.

She chased Aunt Qin desperately, as if as long as she could grab the corner of her clothes, she could change her fate of being sent home.

However, Aunt Qin acted as if she didn't hear Anxin's call. She walked forward quickly without looking back, and even shook off Anxin's hand that was pulling her clothes.

An Xin stumbled and fell to the ground, but she ignored the pain and quickly got up and continued to chase.

"I don't want to go back. I can't go back. My grandparents will sell me out!" An Xin's tears rolled down like beads from a broken string.

She knew that if she was really sent back home, she might end up being sold.

Aunt Qin finally stopped, turned around, and looked at An Xin coldly. There was no sympathy in her eyes, only impatience.

"Anxin, you are already a teenager and you should be married in two years. You follow these kids younger than you around the village all day long, and the adults in the village can see it. Everyone also sees how lazy you are." Aunt Qin's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Anxin's heart.

An Xin's face turned pale. She wanted to defend herself, but found that she couldn't find any reason at all. She knew that what Aunt Qin said was true.

But she had never done any work since she was a child, and her father only taught her music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she only ate fine food. She really couldn't stand being asked to do those rough work suddenly.

"Anxin, you can play your little tricks in front of these kids, but you're just showing off in front of us. My family has raised you for four years, which is enough. Go to your own home. From now on, whether you are well or not, it will have nothing to do with our Qi family." After Aunt Qin finished speaking, she hurriedly ran towards the village entrance, leaving Anxin standing there alone, her vision blurred by tears.

Jiang Jiyun looked at An Xin's hand, and then looked at his own hands. There were no calluses on her hands at all, while his own hands already had yellow calluses.

She stepped back to Qi Erlong and asked quietly, "Brother Erlong, can Sister An read?"

"Yes, Sister An is amazing. Not only can she read, she can also draw. She once drew a small portrait of us, and it was very lifelike." Qi Erlong also answered in a low voice.
