Chapter 51
Erwa said he was a man and wouldn’t grin and cry, but he grinned anyway, his nose was red, and the tears froze on his face
When the wind blew, it froze directly, freezing and sneezing
“Then I’ll trouble you, I’ll lead him back to pack his things first” Yan Li said, taking his brother’s cold little hand and pulling him towards the second courtyard
The second courtyard was their brothers’ room, the east room was his, the west room was his brother’s, he thought his brother lived in the west room
Erwa felt wrong after a few steps and pulled him towards the door, “Brother, I’m living in the gate room now”
In the dimness, Lin Minjun saw Yan Li’s eyebrows furrowed fiercely, as if he wanted to say something, but still didn’t say anything
With a smile on the corner of her mouth, she lifted her luggage and went back to the inverted room, because she had arranged to sit down and talk in a while, so she must have come here to talk to herself
The last time the eldest uncle came to bring the baby home for New Year’s Eve the room was almost empty, and now even a spare chair could not be found
“Hiss” Lin Minjun arrived home, relit the coal stove that had already been sealed, and just as she picked up the tongs to hold the briquettes, she was shivering from the cold
In the snow and ice, the tongs were colder than ice, and her fingers were red
But not to take can not, will come over to talk about things have to boil water, make a pot of hot tea, drink while talking
Lin Minjun to freeze really can not help, ready to take a piece of rag wrapped, just got up, coal tongs were taken over, is a pair of the same frozen red, bone clear big hands
She looked upwards along the hands, it was Yan Li
“I’ll do it” Yan Li said, took over the tongs, and without even furrowing his eyebrows, he started to light the fire, and moved particularly skillfully to boil the water, make the tea, and wash the teacups, as if he wasn’t afraid of the cold, and didn’t even utter a word when he touched the cold water
Lin Minjun can’t stand the cold, went back to the room with Erwa to shrink and wait for hot water
After a while, three people have a cup of hot tea in front of them, Lin Minjun also find out the New Year’s Eve to buy sesame and peanut candies, sat down to talk about it
Talk about what? The main thing is that Yan Li did not have news of this year, Erwa in the end what kind of days
Erwa’s day is of course by himself, drink a mouthful of hot water, Erwa said open, the child spoke when the logic is not very clear, can only be said from the beginning until the end, Yan Li is not too annoying, let him say in detail
The second child from their own slander as a thief began to say, said Lin Minjun over to rent a house, Lin Minjun over before someone began to believe him, to help him clear the suspicion, to help him prove that he is not a thief
Then he was taken away by his uncle, knocked out in the middle of the night to escape, and came back only to hear that Lin Minjun business days are not too peaceful
After saying this, and then said that suspected Cao Bin stole their own things, he and his sister together set up a Hongmen Banquet, Cao Bin sent to prison, a moncler outlet store because of this matter can only resign
Besides, the eldest uncle came over, “not long after the first moncler outlet store resignation, the eldest uncle came over, but also brought the person who was injured by me last time, extorting money from me”
After saying this, Erwa’s mouth is dry, drink a mouthful of water, finally make things clear, “Brother, why don’t you say anything?”
Yan Li was silent, his fists slightly clenched
Lin Minjun then added, “In fact, I’ve long been suspecting that it was Master Cao who called your eldest uncle over, and that the two should have colluded, colluded to drive both Erwa and I out Otherwise, why didn’t they come some years ago and only now?”
She pursed her lips slightly and added, “He should be because he holds a grudge against me and Erwa, after all, because of the two of us, he made a fool of himself in front of everyone, a great uncle’s leadership position is gone, and now that his son is in jail, he probably doesn’t want to make it easy for us”
Yan Li, however, said, “This matter is not so simple”
“Why?” Erwa asked in surprise
Yan Li: “According to what you just said, before Comrade Xiao Lin came, the hutong is rumored that you have unclean hands and feet, is ”
Speaking here, Yan Li closed his eyes and took a deep breath, almost squeezing out two words from between his teeth, “Saying that you’re a thief, but you haven’t stolen anything, the person who really has a bad heart is Cao Bin, so who spread the reputation that you love to steal?”
Lin Minjun and Erwa exchanged a glance, “A big mom?”
“Well, not much more than eight or nine” Yan Li said somberly, “So their family has been targeting you from the start, what’s the motive? Want to take our family’s house? Or do you want something from the house?”
At the end of his words, Yan Li finished his water in one gulp and got up to leave
His voice was permeated with composure, one is one and two is two, and what he promised would definitely be done
“This matter you do not need to worry about, what to do on how to do, I will one by one to check clearly, get the truth, this matter, in my this will not be confused past”
Said, and as if remembering something, “Comrade Xiao Lin also do not need to be anxious, you will live here at ease, I came back, no one can drive you away”
“Comrade Xiao Lin ,” Yan Li seemed to have something else to say, but didn’t think of it, frowning in thought
Lin Minjun listened to his mouthful of Comrade Xiao Lin, how do I feel awkward, smiled and said, “You don’t need to call me Comrade Comrade, aren’t you tired?”
She said this originally to liven up the atmosphere, but she didn’t expect that Yan Li’s eyes immediately surfaced in consternation, as if he was startled by her
Lin Minjun weakly said, “I’m not asking for offense, I don’t mean to blame you”
Yan Li was also a bit flustered, afraid that he had scared someone, “I know, don’t be afraid, I’m just grateful to you, especially grateful”
Just from what he heard from Erwa’s mouth, he could already imagine how difficult it was for a ten year old child to live at that time, it was good that Lin Minjun came, it was good that there was still her, his younger brother was now non-verbal, but he was in good health, and his personality was quite cheerful, if it wasn’t for Lin Minjun, he couldn’t imagine what his younger brother would be like right now, and he couldn’t bear to think about it either
“I’m a bit younger than you, there’s no need to call me Comrade Xiao Lin, just call me Xiao Lin or Ah Jun, that’s how my friends call me” Lin Minjun said with a smile
“Then you will follow Erwa in the future and call me brother as well” Yan Li said
“Brother Yan Li” Lin Minjun said subconsciously
Yan Li’s face suddenly tensed up and his ears were pink
Lin Minjun suddenly realized that this title wasn’t quite right, and it was too intimate, as if she was calling out for a love brother
So she immediately changed her words, “Brother”
“Uh-huh” The man’s face finally returned to normal, easing his tone, “In the future, you are Erwa’s own sister, and also my younger sister, live here at ease, don’t be afraid, no one is qualified to drive you away”
Lin Minjun’s hanging heart was completely put down
She had completely not expected that Yan Li coming back would bring so much good news, Erwa didn’t have to leave, and she could also live in peace
With these words, her heart was relieved and a big stone was removed
From now on, Cao’s affairs can be handed over to Yan Li to deal with, she is at ease with the business, the two children at ease at school, is really no better
This matter is so negotiated, the two brothers get up to go
Getting up from the stool, Erwa suddenly tapped his head and came up with a sentence, “Right brother, can I sell the things at home? It doesn’t have to be a lot, one or two”
“Why sell?” Yan Li asked his brother
Erwa: “Sell it for money and give it to my sister”
Lin Minjun was drinking water, when she heard this she instantly choked and coughed in a shocking manner
While coughing, she also had to rush to explain
This Erwa! Why didn’t he even discuss this in advance and rashly propose to sell something
His brother just came back, violently zha zha listening to his brother say so, will not think that she is also a bad person who stares at the property and intentionally coaxes the child?
This misunderstanding can be too big ah
I didn’t expect Yan Li’s attitude to remain patient, “Why? Does Xiao Lin have any difficulties?”
“My sister is now in the stall, that tricycle is too heavy, she can not ride, often have to come down and push, two days ago looked at a store “Erwa bit his lip and said
Hearing this Lin Minjun already understand what he is going to say, is nothing more than to sell things to her to open a store
For a time, her heart was touched and helpless, “Erwa, I don’t need you to sell things to open a store for me, I have quite a bit of income now, and I can save for a few months to be able to open it”
“But I went to see that store, the location is really good, very suitable for you to do business, and there are already people starting to ask for the price, any later, it will be rented by someone else” Erwa said stubbornly, “I also turned around a few times in the neighborhood, there are not many suitable storefronts in the neighborhood, that one is the cheapest, if you still want to look for it again, you have to go to a place farther away, it’s not safe for you to go to set up a store every day in the morning and evening, and there are quite a lot of things like this in my house, it’s okay to sell one or two of them, and in the future, I’ll make money to buy them back on the line, if you miss out on this one right now, I don’t know when you’ll wait for, but it’s not a pity? Isn’t it a pity?”
Erwa broke his fingers in a serious manner, counting the reasons why he wanted her to open a store, “Also, although the weather is still cold, but after another month or so it will be heading towards the summer, when the weather is hot, the people who eat fried yams will not be so many, with a small store you can still sell new things, and you don’t have to fry yams under the big sun, no matter how you put it, it’s easier than it is right now ”
All these reasons he said Lin Minjun had thought about, and they were all realities, she desperately needed to open a store
But the problem is, no matter how urgent, can not let people sell the family’s things ah, this thing Lin Minjun can not do
So she was especially moved, but reason told her she had to refuse
At this time Erwa looked over blearily, his eyes were praying for her to agree, “Sister, I’m serious, if you open a store you won’t need to be exposed to the wind and rain, in weather like this, how will you set up a stall?”
He looked over so much, Lin Minjun couldn’t say anything to refuse, she had already refused many times, and was worried that if she refused again, she would have to break Erwa’s heart
But selling things, never!
At that moment, Lin Minjun didn’t know what to do, she looked at Yan Li for help, “Why don’t you say it”
She pinned her hopes on Yan Li, hoping that Yan Li would refuse and make Erwa give up this idea
Yan Li was all set to leave, but suddenly, he gave two pairs of big watery eyes a stare
His breath caught and his throat rolled
