Chapter 705 River God 12

In Wujia Village, Wang Liuer was holding her child and chatting with the village women under the willow tree at the village entrance, gossiping about everyone.

The baby in her arms was eight or nine months old, a bit dark-skinned, but his big eyes, like Wang Liu'er's, looked particularly lively and spirited.

Just then, a woman walked towards the village entrance with a small bundle slung over her arm. Wang Liuer saw her from afar, but she turned away, holding her child, trying to pretend she hadn't seen her.

Unfortunately, the man wouldn't let her go and walked straight toward her from a great distance.

"Oh my, isn't this my third sister-in-law? Taking care of the child? Tsk tsk, you're living a good life, except you're a bit harsh on your own daughter. I haven't seen you visit Sanya in so long..."

Upon hearing that she was her own daughter, Wang Liuer immediately burst into tears.

She was weak and submissive her whole life. As a child, she listened to her parents; after marriage, she listened to her mother-in-law and her husband, but she could never listen to herself.

After her husband died, her family took her back home and sold her again.

She was lucky this time; she met a good man.

The woman before him died in childbirth, and she didn't even raise her child.

He's been single ever since.

He didn't treat her exceptionally well after marrying her, but he was good at hunting and would give her the money he earned to support the family.

What makes her even more satisfied is that she gave birth to a son, and her husband handed over all the family's wealth to her. Now all she has to do every day is to take care of the child and prepare three meals a day. She has never been so carefree in her life.

The better life is, the more people compare it to their previous lives, and the more they compare, the more they dislike their previous lives.

Do you miss your daughter?

Yes!

But she didn't want to go back to Ningjia Village, and didn't want to see any members of the Ning family, because that would remind her of her unbearable past suffering.

"Sister-in-law, Sanya, how is Sanya?"

Ning's eldest daughter-in-law smiled smugly, knowing that her sister-in-law would never forget her own daughter.

She came back to her parents' home specifically to provoke her former sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law wouldn't let the Ning family visit their daughter, so they can't blame her for going to visit her own mother, can they?

The more capable a person is, the more they will look down on poor relatives. Wang Liuer has incurred the displeasure of Sanya's husband, and Sanya's life will not be easy either.

If that man will support Wang Liuer out of consideration for Sanya, then their whole family can get close to him. Hehe, it's a win-win situation.

"You have no idea, Sanya is quite something. She married a man in the county, and he's very capable. His surname is He, and I heard he treats Sanya very well."

She then went on and on, even mentioning Ning Yan's address.

This brings us to Ning Qiulan.

Her daily trips to the city were worthwhile; she was able to find out everything happening there.

Especially since bosses with the surname He are extremely rare, you can find out about them easily with just a few inquiries.

The two had just gotten married when she received the news and naturally found out where they lived. She even went to take a stroll outside the house and told Old Madam Ning about it when she got back, which was overheard by her sister-in-law.

She had been holding it in, but finally couldn't resist. So, she came to provoke Wang Liuer as soon as she had finished her work in the fields.

The area under the big willow tree suddenly became lively, with a group of old women chattering away, mostly urging Wang Liuer to go see her own daughter.

Wang Liuer hadn't originally had that idea, but she was starting to get a little tempted.

Sister-in-law Ning knew her sister-in-law too well. As soon as she saw her deep in thought, she knew she had achieved her goal. While everyone else was chatting, she quietly slipped away.

In the evening, Hu Cheng returned home with his game. Wang Liuer was washing clothes in the yard, and wisps of smoke were rising from the stove. He smiled and walked to his wife's side, "Where's our son?"

"Asleep. Good haul today, so much game."

Hu Cheng said, "Well, I'll keep one for myself, and I'll take the rest to town to sell tomorrow morning."

Wang Liuer was very happy. She had married a hunter, and he never made fun of her.

She has eaten more meat in the past two years than she has in the entire first half of her life.

"You're going to the city tomorrow? Well, can I go with you?"

Hu Cheng was a little surprised, but considering that she hadn't left the village in the two years since she married him, it was normal for her to want to go out and see the world, so he said, "Okay, then we'll take the oxcart tomorrow."

He could walk thirty miles without a problem, but his wife couldn't, especially since they had to carry the child. They decided to take the oxcart instead.

Wang Liuer stood up, a smile spreading across her slightly sallow face. "Hey, I'll get some more dry rations for us to eat in town tomorrow."

Hu Cheng: "No need. You've come all this way to the city, let's eat out tomorrow."

He still has enough money for a meal.

Wang Liuer quickly fetched water and a cloth for her husband to wash his face, her mind already preoccupied with how to find her daughter the next day.

The next day at 9:00 AM, a middle-aged couple was loitering outside the He family's house. Old Ma had already seen them; they were holding a child and swaying back and forth in front of their own door. He was really afraid that the two of them would drop the child and run away at any moment.

Finally, the two stopped, but instead of going forward, they started talking not far from the gate of the mansion.

Are you sure your daughter married into this family?

This place looks extraordinary; the two large stone lions at the entrance are more imposing than those at other places.

“My sister-in-law said this is the place, and we asked several people, and they all said that the family’s surname is He.”

Neither the couple could read, and they didn't even recognize the words "He Mansion" hanging on the gate of their mansion.

"How about I go ask the old man guarding the gate? Going around like this all the time isn't a solution."

"Then, shall we ask?"

Hu Cheng stepped forward, and the old gatekeeper asked warily, "Who are you looking for?"

"We...we're looking for my daughter. My daughter is the lady of your household."

Old Ma: "You're saying our lady is your daughter? Have you come to the wrong place?"

Wang Liuer panicked immediately, "How could you have the wrong person? My daughter is from Ningjia Village, she's fifteen this year, and she just got married in June..."

Upon hearing this, Old Ma realized that this really was his wife's mother, because everything she said made sense.

"Wait a moment, I'll have someone inform them right away. Please have a seat."

If you neglect the lady's parents, they will suffer the consequences.

Ning Yan, who was engrossed in reading in the study, was taken aback. "You mean, they said they were my parents?"

"Yes, madam, I heard the woman say that she was your mother, and she was holding a child."

He Wei was a little nervous. "Now that your mother-in-law has arrived, please invite her in quickly."

Ning Yan put down her book, and the two went to the living room together.

Soon, Hu Cheng and Wang Liuer were invited in.

The mansion was so magnificent that the two of them were overwhelmed by its splendor and felt a little uneasy. However, when Wang Liuer saw her biological daughter, she finally felt relieved. "Sanya."

Ning Yan stepped forward and called out, "Mother, this is my husband, He Wei."
