When I returned to my mother's house, most of the things in the house had been moved out, and the only thing I could use for cooking was a small iron pot.

Su He felt lucky more than once that she had been careful and did not give all the money to her brother and sister-in-law, otherwise she would really be left with nothing.

After buying rice, flour, grain and oil, the remaining money is enough to last for a while.

Xiao Shanli drank a bowl of rice milk at Zhao's house. Before leaving, Zhu Cuilan gave her a handful of snacks. She had just finished eating and was not hungry at all.

Although she was young, she was very obedient and sensible. She didn't cry or make a fuss after eating. She lay quietly on Suhe's legs and watched the flames burning brightly in the stove.

Su He gently stroked Xiao Shanli's head, and suddenly became distracted, and her thoughts drifted away.

Boys are much less favored than girls. Ancient books say that there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants. Men get married to leave a descendant for the family. It is difficult for boys to conceive, and many boys cannot get pregnant. In this case, boys will naturally be excluded.

It would have been fine if Zhao Luochuan had married Yang Chunxue, but if Su He had known that the Yang family would be so shameless, she would never have returned to her parents' home.

Sometimes Su He wondered, she was not a shy person, if she let Zhao Luochuan know her feelings for him early on, would he accept it?

Su He smiled bitterly and shook her head to get rid of the ridiculous thoughts in her mind. Zhao Luochuan was already married, and if she had any further connection with him, she would be condemned by everyone.

She was lost in thought and her fingers accidentally hooked Xiao Shanli's hair, causing her to scream.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I hurt you, let me blow it for you." Su He blew softly and massaged Xiao Shanli's hair with her fingertips gently.

But when she looked at her daughter's stunted body due to eating wild vegetables for a long time, a strong sense of guilt spread in her heart.

Xiao Shanli is still so young, and without a father she will always be bullied by her peers. Su He thought, I don’t have to destroy the relationship between Zhao Luochuan and his husband. As long as I can get his constant protection and make sure that outsiders don’t dare to bully me and Xiao Shanli, that’s enough.

Su He closed her eyes and opened them after a long time. Almost at that moment, she persuaded her inner uneasiness and murmured to herself: "I just want to find a backer."
