Chapter 554: Beyond the Clouds
Chapter 554: Beyond the Clouds
For so many days, I have been tortured by the old lady. Every day I have to face that face that looks like everyone owes her eight hundred dollars. Now I can finally get rid of this nightmare. How can I not be excited?
"That's great, that's great..." Aunt murmured to herself, her voice trembling a little.
Everyone was discussing excitedly and turned around and walked back at the same time.
In the crowd, my aunt seemed to be frozen, standing there, tears pouring out of her eyes like a broken dam and sliding down her cheeks.
Just then, a few people who were in a hurry accidentally bumped into her, and my aunt staggered and almost fell to the ground.
After finally steadying herself, the aunt closed her eyes, feeling her own feelings, and soon her emotions slipped away and she calmed down.
While wiping her tears, she wondered what to do next.
Should I go and inform Boss Niu and the others to pick us up first, or should I go back and tell the old lady the good news?
This is really a dilemma!
If the old lady knew the good news first, she would definitely be eager to see her family. She would probably have to run to inform the eldest brother and others, which would make her exhausted.
But if I go and inform Boss Niu and the others first, the old lady is impatient and I'm afraid she won't be able to wait, and I'll inevitably get a scolding then.
After much thought, the aunt decided to go back and tell the old lady the good news.
Having made up her mind, the aunt walked back quickly. Along the way, she became more and more anxious and her steps became faster and faster.
Finally, we arrived at the place.
When I looked up, I saw the old lady lying there, looking here eagerly, as if she had been waiting for me.
"Hurry up and tell me, I can't wait!" As soon as the old lady saw my aunt, she immediately sat up and urged her with anticipation on her face.
Upon seeing this, the aunt hurried over to the old lady and told her everything she had just heard.
The old lady was so excited that she was at a loss for words, and she was mumbling something inaudible.
After a long while, she finally recovered a little. She took a deep breath and then slowly said, "Go quickly and inform my eldest son to come and take me home."
The aunt nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll go call the eldest brother over now."
After saying that, she hurriedly stood up, strode away, and went to find Boss Niu.
When Niu Lao Da and Niu Lao Er learned that they could go home, they couldn't help but feel happy.
After all, they were tired of being with so many people. No place was as comfortable as their own home.
Although the house at home is temporarily uninhabitable, as long as I can go back, even just to look at the familiar environment, I will feel particularly comfortable.
Moreover, they could build a new house when they returned! When they thought of this, they felt that their lives had a purpose, and their hearts were as sweet as honey.
So the eldest and second oldest families quickly started packing up. Actually, there wasn't much to pack up, and they were all done in a short while.
The aunt thought, the eldest brother and his family would definitely come to pick us up anyway, so there was no need to leave in a hurry.
Maybe you can meet them halfway!
However, what she never expected was that after the eldest and second sons packed up their things, they actually picked up their bags and walked home without looking back.
He completely forgot about the old lady and didn't even think about the fact that he had a mother waiting for him here!
Along the way, my aunt saw many people who came to pick up their relatives. Their eyes were filled with tears. After all, they almost would never see them again.
However, the aunt never saw Boss Niu.
She couldn't help wondering, was he walking so slowly, or had they missed each other?
Looking at the people around, they were gathered in groups of three or five. Many of them had already met their relatives and were walking home happily.
But the aunt was still anxiously looking for Boss Niu.
As time went by, the aunt became more and more impatient. She could not help but quicken her pace, thinking that she must find Boss Niu as soon as possible, and she must not be scolded on the last day!
After walking for a long time, the aunt still didn't see the figure of Boss Niu.
She began to panic, so she grabbed a passerby and asked anxiously, "Have you seen Boss Niu?"
The man shook his head and replied, "No."
The aunt was unwilling to give up, so she asked several passers-by in succession, but she got the same answer every time.
Just when she felt a little desperate, someone finally told her: "You are going to help the old lady find someone. I saw them going that way." As he said that, he pointed with his finger.
The aunt looked in the direction he pointed, but her heart was full of doubts.
Why was he going that way? According to common sense, shouldn't Niu Laoda come to pick up the old lady first?
Although she was somewhat puzzled, the aunt hurriedly thanked the man and then ran quickly in the direction he pointed.
She jogged along and looked up to see a figure who looked a bit like Niu Lao Da, but not exactly.
After running a few more steps forward, she found that the person in front of her was indeed not Boss Niu. The two had different heights, but their walking postures were very similar, as if they were cast in the same mold.
And I remembered that the old lady had mentioned Niu Laoer's appearance to me, so it should be him.
The aunt heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that they were brothers after all, and it would be the same to tell him, as long as the old lady could be taken away smoothly.
So, she rolled her hands into a trumpet shape and shouted loudly: "Old Second, Niu Old Second~"
Sure enough, after hearing the sound, the person in front stopped, slowly turned around, and looked at my aunt with a puzzled look on his face.
The second son actually didn’t know what the person who had been taking care of the old lady looked like. He only knew that there was such a person taking care of the old lady.
So when he saw his aunt, he couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
When the second son's wife saw that the person coming was a woman, her eyes kept scanning between her aunt and the second son. Her gaze was so sharp that it seemed to be able to poke holes in them.
The aunt ran up to them breathlessly. Before she could catch her breath, the second child asked, "Who are you?"
The aunt did not answer his question immediately. Instead, she looked them up and down, noticed the large and small bags on them, and asked casually, "Are you going home?"
The second son's wife glared at her husband with an angry look on her face, and seemed very dissatisfied with his performance just now. She opened her mouth and was about to scold him harshly.
However, before she could say anything, the second brother quickly reached out to stop her, signaling her not to say anything.
The second son looked at the aunt in front of him with a hint of doubt on his face.
