She walked very slowly, waiting for someone to inform her mother, Liu Xiaohua, so that her mother could be mentally prepared.

The sky was heavy, as if a violent storm was brewing.

As Su Luo slowly walked home, Liu Xiaohua had already learned from the villagers that Su Luo had returned.

Carrying a child on her back and a basket of bloody dead chickens, returning alone without her son-in-law, this doesn't seem like a good thing at all.

"Sister Hua, you should go and check on her. A'Luo looks like she hasn't even finished her postpartum confinement..."

The woman who delivered the message to Liu Xiaohua sighed. As a woman herself, she had been through it all. Although she couldn't see the baby in the cloth bag in front of Su Luo clearly, she could tell that Su Luo was still in her postpartum period.

Being brought back at this point means there's no need to investigate the reasons behind some things.

If her husband's family abandons her and her own family doesn't care, what is a woman with a child to do? Without a roof over her head, she might have no choice but to jump into the sea.

Thank you.

Liu Xiaohua felt a tightness in her chest. The weather had suddenly changed, and she was already worried because her husband and son hadn't returned home yet. Now, her daughter had gotten into an accident.

Liu Xiaohua looked into the room, and her two daughters-in-law also looked at her.

"Mom, we can talk about other things later. Let's go pick up my little sister first."

After pondering for a while, Liu Xiaohua's eldest daughter-in-law, Li Xue, spoke up. It was an unchangeable fact that her sister-in-law was going home. Her mother-in-law clearly felt sorry for her. There was still a long way to go. Even if she didn't want to live with her sister-in-law, it wasn't something that could be resolved in a short time.

"Yes, let's bring them home first."

Liu Xiaohua's second daughter-in-law, Zhou Chunmei, echoed this sentiment.

They often bicker at home, but when it comes to crucial moments, everyone stays clear-headed. Zhou Chunmei's thoughts are similar to Li Xue's.

Rather than arguing with your mother-in-law and making her feel uncomfortable, it's better to be reasonable and sensible. That way, if you do argue in the future, you'll have a point.

Besides, we're both women, and unless something really serious happens, no one would go back to their parents' home at this time.

Thinking of their sister-in-law Su Luo, Zhou Chunmei and Li Xue both sighed. Two years ago, when Su Luo got married, they envied her for marrying a soldier who had a secure job and wouldn't have to live in constant fear of starvation at sea.

Liu Xiaohua looked at her two daughters-in-law and felt much more at ease. She then turned around and ran off to pick them up.

The wind has picked up outside.

Seeing Su Luo walking slowly in the distance, Liu Xiaohua's nose suddenly stung and tears welled up in her eyes. She choked out, "A-Luo."

Su Luo's vision was sometimes blurry and sometimes clear; she kept crying, which was beyond her control.

Hearing the shouts, she looked ahead, and her tears flowed even more freely.

"Mother."

Su Luo stood rooted to the spot, her feet feeling as if they weighed a ton, unable to take another step.

Liu Xiaohua ran over, looked her up and down, and felt a pang of heartache: "Let Mom carry you."

She took off her apron to shield Su Luo from the wind.

"Mom, everything changed after I gave birth yesterday. They don't want us anymore, and they won't acknowledge the marriage. I have no choice..."

Su Luo sniffed, choking back tears as she tried to explain to her mother.

"It's okay, go home first. When your dad and brother get back, we'll definitely get an explanation for you."

Liu Xiaohua was heartbroken to see that her daughter had only given birth a day ago.

Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell; it takes a huge toll on your vital energy and vitality.

Even if there is a huge grudge, the worst mother-in-law will still let her daughter-in-law rest for three to five days after giving birth, and will not kick her out the next day.

Even her mother-in-law, such a strong and fierce person, never treated her like that when she was alive!

Liu Xiaohua was heartbroken.

The Su family's house is a small courtyard house made of stone.

When they arrived home, Li Xue and Zhou Chunmei came to greet them.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I will move out on my own soon."

Su Luo felt guilty. She knew her mother felt sorry for her and that it wasn't easy for a family.

She never intended to rely on her family; she was just too weak and needed a safe haven. She wanted to make her stance clear first and dispel the estrangement between her two sisters-in-law.

It's easier to put people at ease if things are explained clearly.

"Oh dear, let's not talk about that now. Your lips are so dry they're peeling. Drink some warm water first, and talk to Mom for a bit. My sister-in-law and I will cook you something to eat."

Zhou Chunmei felt bad seeing Su Luo's disheveled appearance. Su Luo wasn't the kind of unreasonable sister-in-law.

Actually, she quite liked Su Luo. Before Su Luo got married, she was efficient and hardworking. When she and Su Luo's second brother quarreled, Su Luo never sided with her second brother.

"Yes, yes, you should get some rest first."

Seeing Su Luo in such a disheveled state, Li Xue felt bad and pulled Zhou Chunmei to the kitchen with her.

Seeing how gentle her two sisters-in-law were, Su Luo bit her lower lip.

Liu Xiaohua pulled her to the room.

"I'm still in my postpartum period, so I should lie down and rest."

With her two daughters-in-law being so understanding, Liu Xiaohua felt much more at ease.

Su Luo's former boudoir is now her grandson's residence.

Liu Xiaohua could only let Su Luo lie down in her room.

Su Luo carried a basket on her back the whole way, and her clothes were filthy.

Liu Xiaohua found some of her clean clothes for Su Luo to change into.

"This child is very well-behaved."

Liu Xiaohua glanced at the child and felt a pang of heartache. The child was so young and had no father. She was abandoned before she even understood anything.

Yi Guohai is committing a terrible sin.

Su Luo took off her clothes to feed her daughter.

"Mom, I want to take care of her."

Su Luo knew that some things couldn't be avoided, so she decided to tell the truth.

Liu Xiaohua paused for a moment, thinking about many things, but in the end she just sighed and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Su Luo had just given birth, and her feelings for the child were at their strongest, so it's normal for her to think this way.

This is, after all, my first time being a mother, and I'm just beginning to understand how difficult it is to be a mother.

"Ah~"

After Su Tiantian finished eating, she made a babyish sound. She didn't cry or fuss, but just quietly looked at the person beside her.

Su Luo looked down at her daughter, her eyes filled with love that seemed to materialize.

Hearing the commotion, Liu Xiaohua felt a pang in her heart. She reached out and said, "Mom will help you hold him for a while. You should rest and not get postpartum complications."

Liu Xiaohua picked up the child, only to find that the child actually smiled at her.

Liu Xiaohua's heart softened instantly: "She must be a clever person reincarnated, she knows how to please people so well."

Such an obedient child, even if she were a girl, would be impossible to dislike.

Zhou Chunmei and Li Xue brought over a bowl of egg noodles, which also contained some seafood.

"A-Luo, see if you like it."

Li Xue handed it to Su Luo, her heart filled with sympathy.

Zhou Chunmei went to see the child. Seeing the child smiling from time to time, she couldn't help but smile too: "Mom, this child is so good, he smiles at everyone he sees."

It is said that children are born with a spirit, and when they see someone smiling, it is because that person is blessed, and when they see someone crying, it is because that person is not good or is sick.
