Xiuer still left.
Despite Li Rouniang's repeated persuasion, Xiuer ultimately refused to listen.
When she finally managed to persuade her, Li Rouniang became somewhat angry, as if she were the bad guy who was preventing the family of three from reuniting.
Alas, good advice is useless against a damned devil!
What the future holds depends entirely on Xiuer's fate!
Although Li Rouniang did not agree with placing her future on a man like Zhao Ergou, seeing the happy little grass, she eventually stopped saying anything.
Da Ni and Er Ni were very reluctant to see Xiao Cao leave. They had spent so much time together and treated Xiao Cao like a younger sister.
Little Grass was naturally reluctant to leave. Although they often had minor squabbles, when it came time to actually go, she was reluctant to part with the two older sisters who cared about her.
My older sister, Da Ni, is gentle and considerate. She often makes little handkerchiefs, dresses, and hair accessories for her.
Although Erni is a carefree person, no children on this street bully her; they all rely on Erni to protect them.
Of course, Erni said that this couldn't be told to Aunt Li, because Aunt Li wanted Erni to behave like a proper girl.
Xiao San Ni was even more reluctant to part with Xiao Cao. Since she was old enough to understand, Xiao Cao had always been with her and taken care of her.
In Sanni's heart, Xiaocao was no different from her own older sister.
Xiaocao was also reluctant to part with Sanni, the younger sister she had raised. She was saddened that Xiaoshan hadn't come back. Although Xiaoshan was younger than her, he was the most opinionated, and she had taken care of Sanni and Xiaoshan the most.
So she had to leave, and she was very disappointed that she hadn't seen Xiaoshan. But knowing that Xiaoshan was going to study at the academy and had a bright future, she was happy for him.
"I'm going back to Zhao Family Village with my dad. It's not like we'll never see each other again. Don't be too sad. I'll come back to visit you guys when I have time!" Xiaocao said lightly.
"Little Grass Sister, will you still come with me to Mr. Gu's class?" Sanni asked.
Xiao Cao hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Actually, I don't want to go. I want to stay home and have my dad play with me. To be honest, I'm not very interested in what Mr. Gu taught me."
Xiaocao felt that the characters, etiquette, calligraphy, painting, and greetings that Mr. Gu taught her seemed so far away from her.
The way she was being told these things made her very uncomfortable, and besides, she looked around and realized that her mother didn't do those things, and neither did anyone around her. She didn't know what use these things would be for her, so she didn't want to learn them.
She asked her mother, but her mother only said that maybe it would be useful in the future. You see, even her mother said that maybe it would be useful in the future, but what if it wasn't?
So she wanted to use this free time to learn embroidery from her mother, and also to learn how to make clothes.
This way, she can make clothes for her mother and father herself, and she will also learn to make quilts and shoes, and learn to make pastries.
Xiaocao felt that she could use these things in the future, so she didn't want to learn from Mr. Gu anymore. She took this opportunity to leave without hurting anyone's feelings.
Sanni disagreed, believing that it's always good to have more skills and learn a little bit of everything!
She wanted to try to persuade Xiaocao again, but Xiaocao's attitude was firm, so Sanni didn't know what to say.
Little Grass actually harbored a tiny bit of mischievous thoughts: she was quite smug!
Because her father came back, but her older sister Dani and the others did not.
In this respect, she felt she had a slight sense of superiority.
Why did Xiaocao want to leave this place? Why did she insist on going home with her father? Because she always felt that she didn't have a home here. She and her mother had to be careful around Aunt Li and the others, and they always felt insecure.
Feeling inferior, her mother always told her to give in to Sanni and the others, so she never had the same freedom as she did at home.
She wants a home of her own!
Now she has a father, and she has a home!
She felt very happy.
Finally, with Xiuer's reluctance to part and Xiaocao's eager anticipation, the mother and daughter left.
"Xiuer, I swear I will treat you well." Zhao Ergou happily led the mother and daughter to the yamen to register their household registration, and then returned home.
Aside from the fact that the house itself was provided by the government, the place was a complete mess inside.
The life of a bachelor is easy to imagine. Xiuer remained silent, put away her bundle, and began packing.
Zhao Ergou happily played with Xiaocao in the yard, and Xiaocao felt that this kind of life was truly blissful.
Xiuer finished tidying up and prepared a sumptuous dinner. The three of them ate and lay down on the kang (heated brick bed) to sleep. After Xiaocao fell asleep, Zhao Ergou pounced on her and hugged Xiuer tightly.
"Let go of me, Zhao Ergou!" Xiu struggled, but she couldn't break free.
Zhao Ergou pouted and kissed her: "Xiuer, I've missed you so much, Xiuer!"
Xiuer didn't dare to shout loudly, afraid that Xiaocao would wake up. In the end, she glanced at her sleeping daughter and gave up resisting...
After Zhao Ergou was satisfied, he fell into a deep sleep. Xiu'er silently shed tears, but hadn't she been mentally prepared for this? From then on, she and Li Si were truly destined to be apart.
Li Rouniang was still worried. Although she was a little angry when Xiuer left, she was still worried. After all, the two of them had lived together for so long, sharing joys and sorrows, and complementing each other.
She prepared some snacks and food, intending to go to Zhao Family Village to see Xiuer.
When Li Rouniang arrived, Zhao Ergou was playing with Xiaocao in the yard. Li Rouniang could see from a distance that Zhao Ergou was playing with Xiaocao, laughing and joking. Xiuer was in the kitchen carrying plates towards the main room, calling the two of them to eat.
The family of three, including the Goddess of Cooking Smoke, were enjoying a harmonious time together. Li Rou Niang didn't disturb them and turned to leave; this was for the best.
"Xiuer, I've been thinking, besides the land at home, how about we start some other businesses? That way we can save up more for Xiaocao's dowry," Zhao Ergou said while eating.
"What kind of business are you planning to start?" Xiu'er asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll think about it and then decide. Can you give me some advice?" Zhao Ergou said.
Xiuer shook her head and said, "How could I do any business? I can only embroider a little. It was okay where we were before, but here... The little things I embroider aren't worth much. If I hadn't learned to make some pastries from Rou Niang to sell, my daughter and I would probably have starved to death."
"Xiu, I'll take care of you from now on. I won't let you go hungry. But what you said is quite good. Why don't we make some snacks and sell them too?" Zhao Ergou said with a smile.
Xiuer's face turned cold: "I learned how to make pastries from Rou Niang. Now you want me to use my pastry-making skills to sell them outside? Wouldn't that steal Rou Niang's business?"
"Look why you're so angry. I was just saying. Let's think of another way. Don't be angry, let's eat." Zhao Ergou mumbled and didn't bring up the matter again.
For a month, Zhao Ergou spent his days playing with Xiaocao and his nights struggling with Xiuer. Finally, one day, Xiuer felt something was wrong with her body and went to see a doctor, only to find out that she was pregnant!
