After finishing her meal, Han Luoxue returned to the village. Aunt Xu was overjoyed to hear that Han Luoxue had come back.
"Xue'er".
Yunniang excitedly stepped forward and hugged her. Han Luoxue nestled in her arms and smiled, "Mother."
"You've lost weight."
Looking at her daughter's tiny face, the only thing that had grown was her belly.
"Hehe, you need to stay in shape."
"Hmph, what's the point of preserving what? The child is the most important thing."
Yunniang rolled her eyes at Han Luoxue, while Aunt Xu was anxiously upset but didn't dare to speak at this moment.
"Alright, your Aunt Xu has been waiting for you."
Perhaps sensing Aunt Xu's resentment, Yunniang smiled and said:
"What about the four children?"
"Come out."
It was the first time the four children had left home, and they had encountered so many people, so they were quite timid. The only person they knew was Han Luoxue.
"lady……"
The eldest daughter came out first, her head bowed timidly, not daring to look at the strangers around her. Aunt Xu's eyes were red; she never imagined she would see her daughter's child again in her lifetime.
"It's so similar, it's really too similar."
Aunt Xu couldn't hold back her tears. She sniffed hard and looked at the frighteningly thin girl, knowing that the child had not had a good life all these years.
That's true. When the harvest is bad, who can eat well?
And what's more, it's a girl. Han Luoxue said that her daughter was beaten to death by that man precisely because she only gave birth to daughters.
"What's your name? I'm your maternal grandmother..."
Aunt Xu looked at the eldest son with red eyes. The little girl looked up at her but didn't move.
Han Luoxue walked over and gently stroked her head:
"This is your maternal grandmother, your mother's mother."
"I...Madam, don't you want us anymore?"
Mother's mother? Are you planning to dump them on this person?
The young girl was very resistant, but she also knew that she and this lady were not related, and that it was unreasonable for her to support them, these burdens, forever.
"Of course not, it depends on your choice."
Han Luoxue comforted them, smiling softly, "Actually, I like you all very much. If you don't want to stay here, you can come back with me later."
"However, I think your mother would definitely want you to recognize each other."
Whether they follow or not, these are, after all, their relatives.
"Okay." The girl turned her head and called out to the people in the car, "Come out, everyone."
The carriage curtain was lifted again, and two little girls came out, one of them holding an even smaller one in her arms.
Seeing this, Aunt Xu couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
Her daughter...
Poor girl, she left behind these four children and then left. I wonder how reluctant she must have been when she left.
"Alright, come in, everyone."
The four children aren't familiar with Aunt Xu yet, so it's definitely not appropriate to take them back directly.
Han Luoxue was also tired; her back was aching from sitting in the carriage for so long.
Han Luoyu also ran back. Seeing Han Luoxue, she first checked her pulse. After confirming the child was alright, she smiled and said:
"Sister, aren't you leaving?"
"Sister, I want to sit next to you."
Han Mengze also came over; the little guy has grown quite sturdy now.
"I made this myself, sister. Do you think he'll like it?"
Han Mengze held a bamboo rattle in his hand, and with the slightest movement, a crisp tinkling sound could be heard.
"I like it, I definitely like it."
"Hmm, I have other things to do." Han Mengze proudly raised her little face.
"Sister, is your back bothering you?"
Han Luoyu noticed that Han Luoxue kept moving, and her hands kept going to her waist, so she asked anxiously.
"Hmm, it's a little sour."
"Let me massage it for you."
Looking at her worried younger sister, Han Luoxue felt a warmth in her heart.
"Me too."
"You're still too young. Wait until you're older before you help." Han Luoyu rolled her eyes at the little guy.
Yunniang was also very happy to see the group of people enjoying themselves.
Meanwhile, Aunt Xu kept asking the children questions.
...
"This is your sister's child?"
At Aunt Xu's house, her daughter-in-law only peeked out and asked a question.
"Um."
"What does Mom mean? Does she want them all to stay?"
"Their mother is gone, what else can we do but raise them?" Han Lin sighed, looking at his wife's dissatisfied face.
“My sister has a hard life. She left behind these children. Please don’t give them a hard time.”
Madam Sun curled her lip in disdain and said unhappily:
“But what kind of situation is this in our family? This isn’t just one child, it’s four children, and there’s one who can’t walk.”
"With four more mouths to feed, how are we supposed to live?"
"Waaah, no, we still have two boys in the family!"
"If we really stay, then... we'll split up."
Aunt Xu's family was not well-off to begin with, and Mrs. Sun did not want to raise four daughters for nothing.
"Your... parents won't agree."
Aunt Xu had mentioned a few days ago that Han Lin hadn't expected the baby to arrive so quickly.
Han Luoxue is really something, why is she meddling in this? Don't the four children have their own father? Why send them here?
"Don't talk nonsense. Let me ask Mom what she thinks."
Han Lin tried to persuade her, but Madam Sun snorted coldly and turned away, ignoring him.
Seeing his wife was angry, Han Lin frowned. This matter...
Who would have thought that his sister would die, leaving behind four children? Judging from the mother's appearance, she's definitely going to keep them.
Although Han Luoxue said that if they didn't want the child, she would take the child back.
These children still have relatives. If they don't want the children but give them to Han Luoxue, the villagers will gossip about them.
Only people in the village who have no descendants would give their children to others to raise. Looking at his still angry wife, Han Lin was extremely worried.
"Why."
Suddenly, Madam Sun turned her head, jumped up from the kang (a heated brick bed), pointed at Han Lin, and asked:
"I have an idea. Why don't you discuss it with your older brother and the others?"
"What method?" Han Lin didn't understand his wife's meaning. The only way was to ignore the four children, but his mother would definitely disagree.
"Look, the Han family has been doing quite well since they split up, hasn't they?"
"you……"
Han Lin suddenly understood something and looked at her in disbelief:
"You still want to separate the family?"
"Yes, we're splitting up."
Sun said matter-of-factly, "Otherwise, do you want to raise those girls?"
She only has two children now and doesn't want to have any more, mainly because she can't afford to raise them. She can't even afford to raise her own, why would she want to raise someone else's children?
"Besides, their fathers are still alive. How do you know who they'll be more filial to once they're raised?"
"What if we finally raise him to adulthood, only to have him go back to his father? What will we do then?"
Han Lin really hadn't expected this.
"You know what, I've actually heard of things like that. It's like raising a child for nothing for over a decade!"
Sun said angrily, while Han Lin frowned and pondered.
