Chapter 20: She has the final say on whether life is hard or not
When Su Jiani looked at her gentle aunt, she felt a surge of jealousy in her heart.
Whenever she thought of her aunt from her previous life, she couldn't help feeling sad.
My aunt also had a miserable life. Her eldest son was abducted by a neighbor when he was five years old, and she spent her whole life searching for her son.
As a result, he neglected to care for his youngest son, who fell into a reservoir and died when he was seven years old.
Because of this incident, my aunt went crazy and my uncle quit his job to stay with her, treating her while looking for her eldest son.
The couple spent their entire lives searching for their child. Not long after the old man passed away, the couple also died on the way looking for their child.
As soon as Li Guixiang woke up, she heard her daughter's voice. She was also worried, but nothing happened yet, so she and Zhongguo couldn't do much. They could only let the three children look after their younger brother.
"Give Qiujuan to me. I'll feed her. Otherwise, she'll cry soon."
Li Guixiang leaned on the pillow and reached out to hold the child.
"Okay, but wait a minute, I'll wash the towel and wipe it for you so that the milk will come out faster." Lin Qiujuan is a very careful person.
After a few times she realized that Jiani was a picky child.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
"What are you talking about? We are all family."
Su Jiani was not in a hurry to drink milk, but looked around with her eyes wide open.
"Are you hungry? Wait a minute, your aunt is washing your towel."
Su Jiani waved her little hands and babbled twice, as if answering her mother.
"You are the only one who is particular." Li Guixiang tapped her forehead.
Su Jiani had a lot of inner drama and kept shouting, "I'm not picky, I just like to be clean, my mother is bad."
Aunt is the best, Jiani likes her very much.
[Mom, you must save my cousin, otherwise my aunt and uncle's lives will be ruined.] Su Jiani screamed in her heart.
She couldn't let anything happen to such a good aunt, she had to save her aunt and uncle.
Li Guixiang listened to her daughter's inner voice without showing it on her face. "You like your aunt, don't you? Don't worry, your aunt loves you the most too. When you grow up, you must be filial to your aunt."
[Filial, filial, Jiani will make her aunt live a good life.] She must save her cousin. [There is still one year left, and she must protect her cousin.]
They were laughing and the sound of laughter made them both very happy.
"It seems I will be able to enjoy a good life in the future. Jane, don't forget, my aunt has kept it in mind."
After wrung out the towel, he handed it over and asked the elder sister to wipe her body.
After eating and drinking, Su Jiani satisfied her physiological needs and then fell into a deep sleep again.
After she fell asleep, she missed the conversation between her parents.
"Is there really something wrong with that family?" Li Guixiang asked anxiously when she saw her husband coming back.
Because the three children could hear their daughter's inner thoughts, Li Guixiang and Su Zhongguo were afraid that they could not keep their mouths shut, so they did not allow them to enter the room.
So they didn't know about Li Peng's affairs, but Su Zhongguo had already told them that they must keep an eye on their younger brother when playing.
Xiaowen and Xiaowu are very well behaved, and he believes that they will take good care of their younger brother.
However, Su Zhongguo did not dare to put that danger near the children.
After learning about his daughter's thoughts, he immediately went to find Li Baojun and asked him to check on their neighbor Aunt Li.
Although Aunt Li's surname is Li, she is not from Lijia Village, and her husband Wang Daqiang is not from Lijia Village either. However, her husband came here as a refugee and was unable to find a wife until he was over 30 years old. Later, he brought back a woman from outside and said she was his wife, Aunt Li.
This life lasted for ten years.
However, Wang Daqiang disappeared five years ago. I heard that he owed money to someone else and ran away when he had no money left.
At that time, someone came to the village to collect debts. If it weren’t for the unity of Lijia Village, I’m afraid Aunt Li wouldn’t be where she is now.
But who could have imagined that such a widow who was protected by the villagers was actually a famous beggar in the town.
Su Jiani actually didn’t know much. She just knew that after Li Peng disappeared, everyone discovered that their neighbor Aunt Li was also missing.
Only then did the rumor spread that it was Aunt Li who abducted Li Baojun's eldest son.
It was impossible to verify the authenticity in the previous life, but Su Jiani felt that this was true.
Su Zhongguo and Li Baojun have been investigating Aunt Li these days, even using tracking methods, and fortunately they made a discovery.
"There's a problem." Su Zhongguo was scared, and what he found made his scalp tingle.
He looks like a kind and gentle person, but why does he have such a face behind his back?
"Tell me, otherwise I won't be able to calm down." She was scared when she thought that her nephew would be kidnapped by that man.
Su Zhongguo sighed and told her what he and Baojun had discovered.
Of course, he didn't tell his wife all the tragic scenes, otherwise he was afraid that his wife would have nightmares at night.
"She deserves to die, deserves to die, how dare she do that." But after hearing just that little bit, Li Guixiang burst into tears.
"Don't cry, you're still in confinement after giving birth. You can't cry, it will damage your eyes. Don't worry, Baojun has already contacted the town police. She won't have a good ending, don't worry."
This incident is a good opportunity to give Baojun some impetus to his work.
They had taken all the silver ingots from the several large boxes of things that were previously stored at home to the town and slowly started selling them off.
Silver dollars are not worth much, but there are many things in them.
Of course, he couldn't sell all of them in town, so he would have to get busy next.
At least they have to get the money after their wife finishes the confinement period. They left the house with nothing and don't have much money on them.
There was no food at all. These days, food was very expensive. It would not be good to keep relying on his mother's family for food. He was also a man who cared about face.
After coaxing his wife, Su Zhongguo went to the next room to sleep with his sons.
My mother-in-law will be here soon to help take care of the night.
The days seemed to slowly calm down.
Li Guixiang listens to her daughter's thoughts from time to time, and she feels that life is becoming more and more hopeful.
One day, many police officers suddenly came to Aunt Li’s house next door.
Aunt Li had her hands and feet chained.
As soon as the police arrived, they started digging in her yard. After about ten minutes, they dug out a skeleton.
This frightened the villagers who came to watch.
"Why, how could there be a dead person here?" the villagers asked loudly in fear.
The village chief and the secretary took a few steps back in fear when they saw the dead body.
The police captain ordered the bones to be collected and buried. Fearing that this would unsettle the villagers, he came to the gate and shouted, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."
He explained the whole story, and the villagers were shocked. They never thought that the person who had escaped that year would be buried deep in his own yard.
"Now that the murderer has been caught, everyone can rest assured."
The arrival of the police shocked everyone, and the results announced were even more shocking.
The villagers were all talking about it, but no one dared to go forward to check. After all, the white bones had scared everyone.
Aunt Li's identity was revealed. Not only did she kill someone, she was also a famous human trafficker in the town. The only consequence waiting for her was to eat peanuts.
As soon as the police left, Wang Daqiang's house was sealed off by the village chief and others.
Someone died in the yard, and the owner was a murderer, so the yard became gloomy in everyone's eyes.
No one dared to approach.
The closest house to here is Li's father's house. Li's mother was still frightened and repeatedly told her children not to play in the front, for fear that they would encounter dirty things.
Su Zhongguo felt relieved after hearing Aunt Li's handling result.
My nephew's fate has changed.
The fate of my brother-in-law's family also changed.
He was very satisfied.
In the blink of an eye, it was Su Jiani's full moon day.
During this period, Su Zhongguozhen returned to Sujia Village and moved his household registration to Lijia Village.
Lijia Village naturally accepted it, but Su Zhongguo's family did not get any land from the village. However, he was allowed to reclaim wasteland, and the land he reclaimed belonged to him.
But Su Zhongguo didn't want his wife and children to suffer, and he didn't plan to spend his whole life in the village.
He didn't pay much attention to the land reclamation, but he asked for the land next to Li's house as a homestead, intending to build a house there.
So, he plans to hire someone to repair it and build a brick house after his daughter is one month old.
Li's father and others naturally agreed with this.
The full moon banquet was very lively, and all the families who were on good terms with the Li family came.
Su Zhongguo has been selling a lot of things these days and he is not short of money.
"Dad, there are not enough tables and chairs." Su Wen, who was already a little adult, saw that many people had come and had no place to sit, so he hurried over to ask his father for help.
Su Zhongguo didn't expect so many people to come to the village, but he was happy because their presence proved that others respected him as the son-in-law of the Li family.
"Okay, Dad has made a note of it. I'll ask your uncle to go to Grandpa Mu's place and buy some tables and chairs."
Since there is a carpenter in the village, he will naturally stock up on tables, chairs, benches and so on.
"Well, then, Dad, hurry up. Xiao Wu said that someone else from the village is coming over."
Although the two children are small, they are very smart.
Since coming to their grandmother's house, they have been interacting with the children in the village.
The information channels are no worse than those of adults.
"Okay, Dad will go find your uncle right away."
After sending his son away, Su Zhongguo did not dare to delay. After all, when guests come, they must have stools to sit on.
He immediately went to find his brother-in-law. Li Baojun was also entertaining villagers at the time. When he saw his brother-in-law coming, he immediately said goodbye to his friends and left.
"Brother-in-law, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Yes, there's something going on. There are more and more people coming. I'm afraid there aren't enough tables and chairs in the yard. Can you help me buy some from Grandpa Mu? It's not good to have everyone standing in the yard."
He was still worried that the banquet would start soon and there wouldn't be enough seats.
"It's no big deal. Wait, I'll be there right away." Li Baojun didn't waste any time and immediately ran out to get busy.
Only Father Li and a few children were left to receive the guests. He didn't dare to ignore them, so he hurried over to greet the village chief and others.
Li's mother and Lin Qiujuan had already been busy in the kitchen. There was no other way; as the hostess, they had to keep an eye on things.
The one who had the most free time was Li Guixiang. Although it was a full month, there were too many things to deal with during the delivery. Su Zhongguo was afraid that she was not recovering well, so he did not let her out and asked her to stay in the house. She could not go out until at least forty days.
Li Guixiang naturally did not refuse her husband's kindness. She was also worried that her daughter was too young to go out and get exposed to the wind, so it was better for her to stay indoors.
Fortunately, several of her former friends from the village came to keep her company, so she didn't get too lonely.
Not all the villagers came to Su Jiani's full moon banquet, but at least one-third of them came. After all, Mr. and Mrs. Li were very nice people, and for their sake, everyone came to join in the fun.
When Su Jiani woke up, she found that there were many more people in her room.
When I lifted the quilt with my little hands, I found some familiar people, of course, there were also some unfamiliar ones.
"What good day is today? So many people are visiting my mother?" She was very puzzled, wondering when her mother became so popular.
As soon as the little girl's voice sounded, Li Guixiang knew she was awake and immediately turned around to look.
I found the little guy walking around with his black eyes open, and it was obvious that he was a person with a lot of ideas.
"Oh, my dear Jiani is awake. Come, let me feel if you have peed." Li Guixiang picked up her daughter, touched inside the quilt, found that it was not wet, and smiled.
"Jiani is so good. You're not wet. Are you hungry?" As he said that, he touched her mouth with his hand.
Su Jiani was naturally hungry, she woke up because of hunger.
[Mom, I'm hungry. I'm starving.]
"Haha, it seems Jiani is hungry. Okay, mother will feed you right away."
I asked someone to wring out a hot towel for me to wipe my body, and then I fed the little guy.
"Guixiang, your daughter is really particular." The man who had just wrung the towel joked, "I think this girl will have a bright future."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone laughed.
"That's right. Look at the kids in our village, who is so particular?"
"Yes, my little brat can even eat his own poop."
"Go to hell, you're really not afraid of being humiliated."
Talking and laughing, it's really soothing.
Su Jiani drank and they chatted.
Only then did Su Jiani realize that today was her full moon day.
It’s so lively.
In her previous life, she had heard her mother complain that her cousin had a full-moon party, but she didn't even get to drink a sip of milk.
Woohoo, her mother had such a hard life. Fortunately, their family was taken back to their grandmother’s house in this life.
In the future, she will definitely be filial to her grandparents.
As she listened, she felt uneasy again.
Could the Aunt Li they are talking about be the human trafficker?
Got caught?
This, how is this possible.
While thinking about something, she unconsciously sucked milk harder, and Li Guixiang noticed the difference in her daughter at the first moment.
But she didn't remind her. After looking at her, she continued chatting with everyone.
"Yes, I don't know why she ended up marrying Wang Daqiang. I'm afraid she had planned it all along."
"Yes, that woman is really cruel. I don't even know if she has any children. People like her should go to hell."
"Alas, poor Wang Daqiang! Everyone saw how much he cherished his wife back then. He never imagined that it would end up hurting himself."
Some felt sorry for her, some felt pity for her, and some even cursed at Aunt Li.
Su Jiani understood that Aunt Li had been arrested.
But, this didn’t happen in my previous life. What went wrong?
I don't understand, I don't understand,
However, it’s a good thing that he was caught, because that way my cousin wouldn’t be abducted, and my uncle’s family wouldn’t have a bad ending because of my cousin’s incident.
Her aunt won't go crazy either, okay, okay, okay.
After thinking about things for a while, Su Jiani fell asleep.
Seeing that her daughter fell asleep again, Li Guixiang put the baby on the bed.
"This child is eating better and better now." His face was full of love and doting.
"Being able to eat is a blessing, and children need to eat more."
"Yeah, how can you grow up if you don't eat more? You, don't be ungrateful."
Everyone has a close relationship, so they can speak freely.
However, seeing that the child was asleep, everyone unconsciously lowered their voices. It must be said that birds of a feather flock together.
How bad could someone be who can be friends with Li Guixiang?
