Otaku's beauty doppelgänger

Chapter 18
Hearing that someone was coming, Ye Han put on the mask and hat again, the mother-in-law patted her hand lightly, smiled and shook her head, indicating that it was okay, then she got up and walked towards the door, but the ground was uneven and she staggered After a while, Ye Han hurried forward to help her walk.

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw someone standing outside. He was a middle-aged man in his fifties, tall and thin, with messy hair. It was obvious that he hadn't taken care of it for a long time. Underneath was a The weather-beaten face and the deep lines engraved the difficulty of life, and also revealed the unique simplicity of farmers. He was wearing an old cotton coat that didn't fit very well. Maybe it was because he was too thin, so he looked empty.

At this time, he was holding a plastic bag that was steaming in his hand.

The man was also surprised when he saw Ye Han beside his mother-in-law. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he gave off an extraordinary feeling when he saw his figure, just like watching a female star on TV. He was very temperamental. But this kind of temperament is by no means comparable to any female star. If a female star gives him the feeling of an oriole on a branch, then the girl in front of him is a phoenix on a sycamore tree. Just standing there gives him a sense of self-confidence Feeling ashamed.

The mother-in-law pointed to Ye Han, and then gestured to the man for a while. The man kept nodding his head. After the mother-in-law finished making gestures, he raised his head and said to Ye Han shyly, "Girl, thank you for taking grandma home. I was just here I'm worried." After speaking, he looked back worriedly, and then said: "Let's go in and talk, so that my wife won't see it."

The three of them entered the house, and the man put the plastic bag in his hand on the small table, revealing three steaming sweet potatoes inside.

"Grandma, this is my freshly baked sweet potato. Eat it while it's hot. Girl, you should try it too. It's very sweet, but I don't know if you're used to it." There was a bit of embarrassment in his tone, as if asking It was quite embarrassing for Ye Han to eat sweet potatoes.

What a simple farm man.

"Thank you, uncle. My favorite thing to eat is sweet potatoes, but my tooth has been hurting these days. The doctor said I can't eat sweets. Oh, I'm so sorry!" Ye Han couldn't take off his mask in front of him, so he had to politely refuse. .

"It's okay, it's okay, I should say I'm sorry." The simple farmer took the responsibility on himself.

At this time, the mother-in-law made a few gestures to the man, and then the man patted the mother-in-law's hand, paused and said, "Grandma, isn't it just a few sweet potatoes? It's okay, I was the one you watched growing up! Come on!" , eat while it’s hot, and I’ll peel one for you.” Then, the man picked out the biggest sweet potato, carefully peeled off the upper half of the skin, and carefully stuffed it into the hands of his mother-in-law, who took the sweet potato and started to eat it. When he got up, he ate very slowly because he had no teeth.

On the other side, Ye Han took the opportunity to learn about her mother-in-law's situation.

"Uncle, can you tell me the story of your mother-in-law?"

The man was unsuspecting of Ye Han, and he started to talk: "What is the name of the grandma? Actually, I don't know. I have always been called grandma and grandma since I was a child. When I can remember, my mother-in-law was already in her 40s. At that time She likes children very much. She always puts some candy in her pocket, and gives one when she meets a child. But people in the older generation say that she is a broom star, born dumb, and even beat her husband to death. After her son died, anyone who was close to her would be killed by her, so the family told us not to approach her, and said that she was crazy and would catch children and eat them."

Speaking of this, he smiled mockingly: "I believed it at first, because we were neighbors, so I was even more afraid and never dared to take a step closer to her. Until one day, I accidentally fell into the pond. It was Grandma who jumped into the water and pulled me up without thinking about her own life. If it weren't for Grandma, my life would have been lost long ago."

At this point, the man stopped, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and wanted to light it out of habit, but after looking at Ye Han, he immediately stuffed it back and put it away, then said: "From then on, I began to know Grandma is a good person. She just misses her son so much that she behaves abnormally. She stays on the bridge at the head of the village for a long time every day because it is on this bridge that she sends her son off. Giving sweets to the children is also because I miss my son."

"But I know what's the use of these. No one will believe what I say as a child. Besides, some people don't know the truth, but everyone spreads it like this, and they don't dare to stand up against it. Everyone was isolated, only me, who often sneaked into her house and talked to her, so now I know what she wants to say after a few gestures."

"Afterwards there was a natural disaster, and then there was a famine. Many people died, but the lonely grandma survived. It's amazing to think about it. Afterwards, life got better and I grew up. I can help grandma from time to time, but I'm a coward!"

Having said that, the man couldn't help but sigh!Apparently there was a reason that he couldn't explain, so Ye Han didn't pursue the question, but changed the subject: "Uncle, doesn't the country provide minimum guarantees for lonely old people like mother-in-law now? Why is the mother-in-law's house still like this?" Ye Han pointed to the wall surrounded by nylon cloth.

A look of panic suddenly appeared on the man's face, he looked around reflexively, and then lowered his voice and said in a very soft voice: "It's all the fault of the Wang family!"

"People from the Wang family?"

"Yes, the members of the Wang family, that is, the village party secretary's family in our village. They have three brothers, plus a few sons and son-in-law, occupying all important positions in the village. They are the village head, village party secretary, accountant, and director. Look at other villages who build bridges and roads, how about our village? They swallowed all the money." The man said bitterly, "The living security money for old people like grandma And it all fell into their pockets."

Ye Han frowned, and said coldly: "They are so blatant, don't they care about them?"

"Who dares to take care of it? If there is no one above, how could their Wang family have been domineering in this village for more than ten years! A few years ago, someone from the village went to the county to file a complaint, but when they came back, they were discounted by the Wang family in front of everyone. Legs, the town police station didn’t care about it, and no one dared to stand up against the Wang family after that.”

"It's really disgusting!" Ye Han didn't expect such a village bully to exist beside her. You must know that her hometown is also an economically developed area, coupled with a well-developed network, and the people's thinking is relatively advanced. In people's minds, things like village tyrants usually happen in remote areas with backward economies and relatively ignorant ideas.

"What's even more damning is that now they've set their sights on Grandma's homestead!"

"What?" Ye Han stood up angrily!
