Bai Yajing felt somewhat helpless. The two elderly people were unaware that she had sent a letter to Qin Xuanyi. She couldn't bear to worry them, and besides, she did indeed have to go to the provincial capital.
So many years have passed, and she's grown up now. Her mother died so tragically; she has to seek the justice she deserves.
"Oh right, there's another package, it should be from Grandpa."
Also... Aunt Qin has been gone for over ten years, so don't have too much hope for her son..."
After all, quite a few people grow up to be distorted.
When Aunt Qin was alive, she would send her letters and packages, but after she passed away, we lost contact.
She saw that boy once when her grandparents took her to pay her respects...
The grandparents exchanged a glance and chuckled. However, they were quite satisfied with their granddaughter's future husband, believing that a gentle and kind woman could produce a good child.
They naturally wanted their child to find a good family in the future, especially since it was a marriage arranged by their own daughter before she passed away...
"Okay, go to the provincial capital first, but don't bring your household registration with you. The people there are very dirty, and I'm afraid something might happen."
"See if you can get along. If not, come home. Our daughter is so beautiful and smart; she won't have trouble finding a husband."
Grandma nodded, "Didn't that old man Bai send you a package? Pick it up when you buy your train ticket tomorrow."
Grandma will go to the village chief tomorrow to get you a letter of introduction.
The whole family felt resentful and helpless towards Grandpa Bai. They resented him for his confident promises about how wonderful his son was and how he guaranteed that his daughter wouldn't suffer after marrying him, only to find that life had turned out this way.
Unfortunately, she knew that the discord between the couple was not his fault. Over the years, only Old Master Bai had always cared about Bai Yajing, and he had never stopped sending her money, tickets, and supplies. His letters were also full of longing and guilt.
Bai Yajing nodded. She should go see her grandfather too. The two had been exchanging letters for more than ten years, but they had only seen each other's photos and had never met in person.
"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma. You must be tired after a long morning. Go and rest. You still have to go to work this afternoon."
Also, I can go by myself tomorrow. It's rare that there's no work at the market tomorrow, so Grandpa and Grandma can rest at home.
Grandpa knew she was always independent and composed, so he was at ease with her. "Alright, then be careful. Take the oxcart to and from the oxcart, don't walk."
The two elderly people reminded her to rest well at noon and not to read too much before she got up and went to her room for a nap.
Her maternal grandparents felt sorry for her because she was born prematurely and was in poor health. For many years, they couldn't bear to let her work or do heavy work. Fortunately, her maternal grandparents' family had been practicing traditional Chinese medicine for generations, and they had been taking good care of her health over the years. They also taught her medical skills.
After years of conditioning and practicing kung fu with her grandfather, her health has almost recovered, and she has taken over the light chores at home.
After lunch break, the two elderly people went to work, and Bai Yajing carried a basket on her back to the back mountain. She was leaving home for the provincial capital and didn't know when she would be able to return. She needed to gather more firewood for the family so that the two elderly people wouldn't have to go to gather firewood again after work.
As you walk up the quiet path, springtime brings everything back to life. Scattered on the ground are lush green wild vegetables and grasses, as well as the footprints of small animals.
First, I went to check where the trap was set. There was only one dead rabbit in a pit. I picked it up and put it in my basket, then went straight to another place to look for wild vegetables.
The wild vegetables were especially fresh and tender at this time of year. Before she knew it, she had picked a whole basketful and slowly made her way down the mountain carrying two large bundles of firewood.
The next morning, Bai Yajing went to the village entrance to take an oxcart.
Today is market day, and oxcarts will be carrying people to town.
When she arrived, Uncle Niu was sitting on the side, blowing smoke rings.
Several older women were already sitting on it.
