C838 The Nearest City
"Sister Nan, I know. My family will always be first." Yu Jingzhe promised Zhang Nan that he would treat his wife and children well and not be Chen Shimei like Niu's father.
When Zhang Nan saw Yu Jingzhe being so serious, she believed him because she believed that Yu Jingzhe was a righteous man, and a man that could support the heavens, but had temporarily lost his memory.
Perhaps it was because the heavens gave an outstanding brother like Yu Jingzhe that he lost his memories and ended up at her doorstep. Thus, Niu Niu and Yu Jingzhe were both gifted to her by the gods.
In the gloom of her life, two people lit up her life like two candles, filling her life with hope.
Zhang Nan was 100% sincere in taking care of Niu Niu and Yu Jingzhe. Zhang Nan saw that Yu Jingzhe's age was the same as her own brother, but she didn't know how he was doing now.
"Ah Ling, from now on, you are my blood brother." Zhang Nan looked at Yu Jingzhe seriously. She felt that even if they weren't related by blood, it didn't matter.
Yu Jingzhe knew that Zhang Nan treated him as her own brother and he could also treat her as his own sister. And there was a niece as clever and lively as Niuniu.
No matter what, he earned two extra family members at the same time. Furthermore, they even saved his life when he was at his lowest state, Yu Jinze also knew how to repay the kindness.
"Sis, you and Niu Niu will be my family from now on." Yu Jingzhe was also very serious because he had forgotten everything from the past. Now, all he could remember were Niu Niu and Zhang Nan.
The two sat and chatted. Unknowingly, it was already past midnight. Most of them were talking about Yu Jingzhe, because Yu Jingzhe didn't know anything about the past and couldn't find someone to chat with.
Zhang Nan had suffered for so many years that even talking to Yu Jinze for three days and three nights had been hard on her. However, Yu Jingzhe still thought that Niuniu must have fallen asleep.
Yu Jingzhe told Zhang Nan to go rest first. He took the bowl and washed it before resting because Zhang Nan was too tired from working in the fields. Yu Jingzhe had also recovered a lot, but his internal injuries were still not completely healed.
The burn scars on her body were almost gone, so every time Zhang Nan went to work, she would have to go with her. Zhang Nan felt that this brother of hers was really too nice to her.
However, it was always good to see people in the dark. The villagers would talk about Yu Jingzhe behind their backs when they saw him stay at Zhang Nan's house for more than a month.
Zhang Lan couldn't stand the harsh words of Yu Jingzhe being Zhang Nanxin's lover, so she hid in her room and cried quietly.
Yu Jingzhe didn't see Zhang Nan come out after lunch, so he told Niu Niu to eat first. He went to find Zhang Nan, but her eyes turned red when he saw her.
"Sis, what happened to you?" Seeing Zhang Nan crying, Yu Jingzhe couldn't help but be concerned. Such a thin and weak woman was actually bullied by others without retaliating.
Zhang Nan felt that she had been wronged for so many years, but now that the villagers said something so unpleasant that she couldn't accept it, men could just go out and have fun.
Yu Jingzhe didn't know that these villagers were gossiping behind his back. He just treated Zhang Nan like his own sister every day. If he knew earlier, he would have left already.
"Brother, if there's nothing else, let's eat first." Zhang Nan was a gentle and sweet girl, so she was not very strong. Therefore, she was not able to fight back when faced with these rumors and slanders.
Yu Jingzhe didn't believe that nothing was wrong. However, since Zhang Nan didn't want to say it, he didn't want to ask. He thought it was because Zhang Lan was hurt by the incident with Niu Niu's dad, so he didn't want to ask.
Noticing Zhang Nan's red eyes from crying, Niu Niu hurriedly ordered a bowl of rice for her and comforted Zhang Nan in a low voice. This sensible daughter of Zhang Nan's made Zhang Nan's heart fill with mixed feelings.
"Mom, those old ladies behind us talk nonsense. They talk about them." Niuniu knew what Zhang Nan was sad about, because she had also heard those people babbling about his Uncle Ah Shou.
Previously, Niuniu had always called Yu Jingzhe her uncle, but later on, Lili had adopted Jingzhe as her younger brother. After that, she had changed her address to Niuniu as "Niuniu was very fond of this uncle." Therefore, when the old women in the village mentioned Ah Chin, they couldn't help but respond with a few words.
Yu Jingzhe finally understood that the old ladies in the village were spouting nonsense, so he was the one who made things difficult for Zhang Nan. But why did these people keep watching?
Zhang Nan and himself respected Zhang Nan as if she was their elder sister. She didn't have any profane thoughts. Why were these people so unwilling to let such kind girls go?
"Sis, don't listen to those long-mouthed women. Those who clear themselves of the turbid are turbid. " Yu Jingzhe was a boy, so of course he didn't care, but girls would definitely pay attention to him.
However, Yu Jingzhe didn't have any other way to comfort them because he was never good at expressing himself, so he was a bit dumb when it came to comforting others.
Zhang Nan glared at him, causing her to blurt it out quickly. This way, if Yu Jingzhe knew that it would be inconvenient for him to live here in the future, she didn't plan to say it out loud.
Niuniu did not understand it at her age, so she told him about it. Yu Jingzhe thought that he would leave soon, so he decided to help Zhang Nan gather all the crops before leaving.
It was too pitiful to leave Niu Niu at home. If he wanted to bring her with him to Zhang Nan, then he wouldn't be able to take her with him. His plan wouldn't be disrupted by these rumors.0
"Sis, don't blame Niu Niu. I was planning to go out after I finished harvesting these crops for you." Yu Jingzhe explained his plan to Zhang Nan.
Even when he went to work in a big city, he would come back regularly to see Zhang Nan and Niu Niu, because one of them was his own sister and the other was his niece.
I just don't know where the nearest big city is. He needed to ask Zhang Nan about it before he could confirm where exactly he was going to work to earn money to support himself.
Zhang Nan was afraid that Yu Jingzhe would leave the moment he heard these rumors. As expected, she immediately hated the long-tongued women in the village. She finally got a younger brother and was forced to leave.
However, Yu Jingzhe told Zhang Nan not to feel sad because he was just going out to work and didn't care what these people said.
Therefore, Yu Jingzhe comforted Zhang Nan for a long time before she calmed down.
