He then endured hunger and hardship all the way south. After making inquiries, he learned we had settled here, and that's why he came over. I thought, since we're from the same clan, I couldn't let him continue wandering as a vagrant, so I didn't take him back. What? He's causing trouble again? I'll teach him a lesson when he gets back.”

Li Rouniang shook her head: "There is no clan leader, but I didn't expect him to find Xiu'er. Judging from his appearance, it seems like he still wants to pester Xiu'er."

Zhao Youtian sighed, then advised, "Xiuer, look at how much Zhao Ergou has suffered. He must want to turn over a new leaf and live a good life with you. Actually, where are you two? He asked me. He told me he wants to get back together with you and live a good life. He's been through life and death and understands who is more important to him."

He gets through every difficult night thinking of you and Xiaocao. Could you give him a chance so you two can live a good life together?

Xiuer shook her head in resistance: "Clan leader, no, I want to stay with Rou Niang, I don't want to be with him anymore."

"Xiuer, I didn't understand the situation back then, I didn't know you were bought, but that's not the case now. You're a law-abiding citizen now, and you're his wife now. He can't just be mean to you whenever he wants, nor can he sell you off whenever he wants. Besides, there's Xiaocao between you two."

Little Grass is growing up quickly, and she'll be getting married eventually. If you keep staying with Rou Niang like this, won't it affect Little Grass's marriage prospects in the future?
