Lord Li immediately agreed: "Madam Wei, you have worked hard. Don't worry about finding water. Let's take care of your wound first."
Su Huaiyue returned to the Wei family's resting place, and before she got close, she was surrounded by everyone in the Wei family.
The old lady was the first to come forward, a look of worry on her face that was hard to conceal: "Huaiyue, did you have a smooth journey? I heard that you were injured."
Su Huaiyue smiled, but her expression revealed a determination that should not be underestimated: "Thank you for your concern, Grandma. I encountered a python, and there were some twists and turns, but the ending is good."
"My sister-in-law is amazing. She wasn't afraid of the python at all and even managed to escape unscathed."
Wei Yunrou's illustration was filled with excitement, her eyes full of admiration.
Before Su Huaiyue could respond, Wei Ersao smiled coldly and interrupted everyone's conversation.
"Alas, Su Huaiyue was lucky this time. If she encounters something similar again, I wonder if she can still escape unscathed."
The sarcasm in her words made everyone present feel awkward for a moment.
The third sister-in-law coughed softly to ease the atmosphere.
"What my second sister-in-law said is true. But no matter what, Huaiyue returned safely this time and saved the official. Good things will come to those who are lucky."
Su Huaiyue knew that Wei Ersao had always been at odds with her, so she just smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law is really worrying too much. It seems that I need to be more cautious in the future."
"Huaiyue, no matter what, you've worked hard on the journey, so take a good rest when you get back."
Madam Wei was afraid that the topic would lead to another dispute, so she spoke quickly.
Su Huaiyue nodded in agreement. She let out a breath and finally felt relieved.
"Oh, sister-in-law, you are injured? You are bleeding." Wei Yunrou exclaimed when she saw the wound on Su Huaiyue's arm.
Only then did the Wei family notice the long cut on her body.
When Wei Yunrou saw that Su Huaiyue was really injured, tears immediately fell from her eyes: "Sister-in-law, does it hurt? The wound is so deep and there is so much blood."
Su Huaiyue patted her shoulder jokingly: "Hey, little girl, don't cry, I'm fine, right?"
Madam Wei stepped forward and gently held Su Huaiyue's hand, her eyes full of love and reluctance: "Huaiyue, this wound is not small. If it is not treated properly, it will fester. Come and sit down. I have some private medicine here that can come in handy."
Su Huaiyue felt a warm feeling in her heart, and she gently declined, "Thank you, Grandma, but you should keep these medicines for yourself. Medicines are extremely precious when we are walking in this desert, and they are not needed for my wound."
"Silly child, how can you not take medicine when you are injured? Listen to grandma!"
Madam Wei smiled and shook her head, insisting on treating her wound herself.
Faced with the old man's persistence, Su Huaiyue felt a warmth in his heart and was full of gratitude.
She sat quietly in the chair, feeling the old lady's gentle movements and the caring words she kept muttering, and a corner of her heart softened.
This long-lost family warmth made her feel a little overwhelmed for a moment.
Wei Yunrou sobbed and babbled non-stop, "Sister-in-law, please be more careful next time. It would be more convenient if you could ask us to come along."
The third sister-in-law quickly handed over a clean cloth and gently comforted Yun Rou, who was still sobbing: "Okay, Huai Yue is fine."
Although the words were spoken softly, there was no lack of appreciation and admiration for Su Huaiyue in the eyes of the third sister-in-law.
Su Huaiyue patted Wei Yunrou's shoulder and said, "I'm in good health and my wounds are healed. Don't worry. But this time, Master Li owes our Wei family a favor. No matter what, this trip is worth it."
Wei Yunrou nodded and slowly stopped crying.
Everything in the tent seemed so peaceful, except for Wei Ersao, who was standing in the corner, with a hint of irony and a half-hidden sneer on her face.
She was observing everything in the room on her own, but she had her own plans in her heart that no one knew.
After the wound was bandaged, she turned around and whispered to Madam Wei, "Thank you for your concern, Grandma. I am extremely grateful."
There was a sound of running outside the house.
Wei Li and Wei Zhi ran in anxiously, their faces full of worry.
"Mom! Are you okay?"
Wei Li rushed into Su Huaiyue's arms first, with his little face tilted high, his eyes full of concern.
"It's okay, Li'er, Zhi'er, don't worry."
Su Huaiyue hugged them tightly in her arms, her heart filled with warmth.
At this moment, she felt that all her efforts were worth it.
Wei Zhi also reached out and held her hand: "Mom, we are all worried to death."
"Our Huaiyue is truly the pillar of the family."
Madam Wei looked at the warmth in the air with emotion and sighed, "If the men in the family were here, how could they let a woman suffer like this?"
"It's okay, Grandma."
Su Huaiyue smiled slightly, slowly raised her head and said firmly: "Women can also hold up half the sky, not to mention that no one can always rely on others. Besides, I am the eldest sister-in-law of the Wei family."
Wei Li nodded vigorously, as if he believed in his mother's words.
Seeing this, Wei Zhi also nodded solemnly like his sister. The looks of the two little guys made people laugh.
At this time, the atmosphere in the room was more harmonious. Only Wei Ersao was leaning on one side alone, with an incomprehensible smile on her lips, looking as if it had nothing to do with her.
"Li'er, Zhi'er, don't act naughty. Mother has just been injured and needs more rest."
Although Wei Yunrou's voice was soft, it was filled with endless concern.
Outside the tent, the sun gradually sets, and the warm light shines through the gaps onto everyone's face.
The third sister-in-law whispered beside her, "I'll make some more food and give the eldest sister-in-law a good meal tonight."
Su Huaiyue felt warm in her heart. She looked at them gratefully and gave her grandmother a grateful smile: "Thanks to you, thank you."
The sound of light footsteps at the door broke the momentary silence. It was Wei Che. He stopped at the entrance, as if hesitating about something.
What Su Huayue had just said had already fallen into his ears.
Women can hold up half the sky...
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, half bright and half dark, adding a bit of complexity to his expression.
Finally, Wei Che was silent at the door for a long time, then turned around and left.
"It's my uncle!"
Wei Li and Wei Zhi looked at each other, and they ran out of the tent tacitly.
They shouted in unison: "Uncle, why don't you come in?"
The voices of the two little guys were not loud but not small either, enough for Su Huaiyue in the tent to hear.
Su Huaiyue was slightly stunned, and a feeling of dissatisfaction surged in her heart.
No matter what this man does, he will only be blamed in the end.
He probably wanted to leave because he saw that all the Wei family members were here and he felt embarrassed to talk.
I guess he came here just to laugh at himself.
Thinking of this, Su Huaiyue became a little angry.
