The two elders of the Chu family breathed a sigh of relief.
Madam Chu said, "Many families' daughters suffer all kinds of grievances after they get married. Even if they die in their husband's family, they can't return to their parents' home. One of the important reasons is that their parents' family is unwilling to accept them."
"They are truly good people to fight so hard for an adopted daughter."
“Sisi is not having a good time in her husband’s family. Their hearts must be aching too.”
She didn't ask why she had to marry into that kind of family, because there are too many people who can pretend, or some of them might change later.
The affairs of the world and people's hearts are inherently unpredictable. Doesn't the Chu family, who are in officialdom, understand this principle?
After all the hardships and joys, as long as Sisi is doing well now and the family can be reunited, that is a blessing.
"What does Sisi like to eat? I was in such a hurry when we left home that I forgot to ask. I'll buy it for her when we get to the county town or the town."
"I don't have any dietary restrictions, I have a good appetite, and I eat everything."
"What color clothes do you like to wear? Oh dear, it's a pity I can't wear brocade, but I will buy the finest cotton."
"I'm not picky, as long as it fits, that's fine. We have plenty of food and clothing at home," Qiao Lian'er said.
Old Madam Chu smiled and patted the back of her hand: "Having food and clothing is one thing, but eating and dressing well is another. To be honest, Lian'er, we brought all our belongings with us this time because we wanted to make it up to Sisi."
"Although the Chu family is humble, they are still better off than the average farming family. We should be able to make Sisi's life better."
Qiao Lian'er was a little surprised. The Chu family had been almost completely emptied out. If they had any assets, it should be some silver in their trunk, which might even be the dowry of the old lady of the Chu family.
"Grandma Chu, actually that family is doing quite well. You're not having an easy time either—"
Grandpa Chu interrupted her with a smile: "As parents, we should always give our share. It has nothing to do with whether that family is poor or rich. Besides, after seeing Sisi this time, I feel relieved. I will focus on my official duties, do my job well, and hold onto this position. I won't be bad in the future."
Outside the carriage, Qiao Dacheng and Wei Chi rode side by side, chatting.
Qiao Dacheng then learned that Wei Chi's cousin had been found and was on their side; they were going to reunite as relatives.
"Brother Wei, now that we've found your cousin, you're no longer at the prefectural government office. So where are you going?"
Wei Chi nodded slightly: "Yuezhou has a garrison. As long as I pass the assessment, I can take up a general's position. Once I make meritorious contributions on the battlefield or have outstanding performance, I will become a general one day."
This is his true goal in life.
To establish merit and serve the country and its people is a valuable and meaningful thing.
Going to the prefectural government office as a detention officer was merely to facilitate finding people.
Da Cheng thought to himself, Wei Chi’s father is the Prefectural Governor, the highest military officer in a prefecture, so this path is indeed easy for him.
However, it doesn't matter if they come from humble backgrounds; with hard work and diligence, they can eventually achieve their goals.
Gao Shuying looked up at the sky: "I thought we were going to do business together."
"However, being a general is not bad either. I will also participate in the assessment. If anyone dares to stop me, I will fight them to the death."
Wei Chi thought for a moment and said, "Whatever you say."
They're just garrison troops, they only train every day, they don't have to brave the wind and rain or trek through mountains and rivers, it's much better than being a convict. If she were to go into business, Gao Shuying's skills would be wasted. She was just saying that casually when she was tired.
After all these years, doesn't he understand her at all?
With a large group, they needed to rest and find an inn to stay overnight. After three days and two nights, the group finally arrived at Datian Village.
