Han Jinghua felt very sad thinking about Lu Xiaonan's attitude towards her after she arrived. She knew that Xiaonan had a bad temper, especially after his recent injury.
But he doesn't even consider that he can't even get out of bed now, and he's still making a scene, saying that he doesn't care about him anymore. How is he going to survive in the future?
"If you're willing, I'll help you with this."
"Don't worry, the person will let you see them first. The two of you can spend some time together, and if you feel it's right, then you can be together."
"If it doesn't work, you can go back again."
Han Jinghua neither nodded nor objected. Rather than living this hopeless life, she was willing to try a different man. She was already having enough; she couldn't let changing partners make things even harder, could she?
The older woman was genuinely interested in Han Jinghua, and she was in a good mood. If the introduction was successful, wouldn't they give her a reward?
Actually, several soldiers here have taken a liking to Han Jinghua, not because she is particularly beautiful, but because there are so few women here. Even a sow would attract attention, let alone Han Jinghua.
Hearing Lu Xiaonan still angry, Han Jinghua felt even more irritated.
"You wretched woman, are you trying to starve me to death? Hurry up and cook me some food!"
Lu Xiaonan also felt that he had been particularly unlucky lately. After arriving here, especially after running into the former crown prince, he hated himself.
"What's the rush? I'll go cook right now!" Han Jinghua said irritably.
Lu Xiaonan is currently lying in bed and cannot get up, but he is extremely sensitive.
"Han Jinghua, are you fucking alright? What kind of attitude is that when you talk to me?"
"What kind of attitude do you want from me? I work hard all day and then come home to have to listen to you yell at me. Do you expect me to treat you like royalty?"
Han Jinghua had other plans in mind, so she wasn't as polite to Lu Xiaonan as before.
Hearing the two men arguing, the two daughters timidly hid to the side.
"You damn woman, you didn't cheat on me with a cuckold, did you?" It has to be said that Lu Xiaonan was quite self-aware.
Han Jinghua glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could that be? Am I that kind of person?"
Without waiting for Lu Xiaonan's reply, she hurriedly went to the simple kitchen to cook. After a long day of work, she felt unwell and just wanted to lie down and rest.
Seeing their mother go to cook, the two daughters hurriedly ran over. They were the least influential in the family and worried that if their parents disliked them and kicked them out, they wouldn't know how to survive.
Although they were often beaten and scolded in this family, and did a lot of work, at least someone could give them food and a place to sleep.
Seeing her two daughters come to help so thoughtfully, Han Jinhua was in a good mood. She sighed, patted her daughters' heads, and asked softly,
"Girl, you're not young anymore. Do you find it interesting to stay in this house?"
Of course, she kept her voice very low. Although Lu Xiaonan was already lying in bed and had no fighting power, Han Jinhua was still a little afraid of him. This was a habit she had developed over the years. She knew that if Lu Xiaonan heard her say such things, she would be finished.
Da Niu looked at her mother, her heart skipping a beat: "Mom, what do you mean by asking me?"
She was a bit older and not entirely ignorant about what was happening outside; she sensed that her mother was about to leave them.
"It's nothing, I was just asking casually."
"My mother is in my sister's and my heart. Wherever my mother is, that is our home."
Hearing this, Han Jinghua felt a pang of sadness. At home, she had always protected the two of them, and especially after they came here, the three of them had relied on each other for survival.
They do more work than anyone else every day, but what about their meals?
She turned to look in the direction of the room, where Lu Xiaonan was lying there like an old man. She wondered who gave him the courage.
Even now, he doesn't realize his own situation. He thinks he should serve him for the rest of his life and be his slave.
Thinking of this, Han Jinghua smiled disdainfully.
People strive for higher positions, just as water flows downhill. If she continued to follow Lu Xiaonan, she and her two daughters would only face certain death.
The food they earned each day was barely enough to feed the three of them. If they divided it up, none of them would have enough to eat. Looking at her two daughters' frighteningly thin bodies, Han Jinghua felt heartbroken.
The meal was quickly prepared, and Han Jinghua ladled out a bowl, bringing it into the room and handing it to Lu Xiaonan. Lu Xiaonan, who had initially been somewhat suspicious of Han Jinghua, felt reassured seeing her respectfully bringing him food.
This damn woman isn't stupid; she can recognize her situation. This is a military camp full of men. What can she do outside of me?
However, what Lu Xiaonan didn't know was that Han Jinghua was already preparing to run away.
The next day, when Han Jinghua went to work again, the aunt from yesterday beckoned to her and said mysteriously, "Sister, I went back and asked my husband to ask around for you, and sure enough, he found a suitable one."
Han Jinghua was still a little shy. Although she was already a mother of three, she still felt a little awkward about suddenly having a different man.
"Oh, girl, don't be shy. What else could we be here for but to make a living?"
"People die when they move, but trees live when they are moved. If you don't change your ways, are you going to wait to die with your two daughters?"
These words made Han Jinghua's heart skip a beat. Yes, she didn't bring the two children here for her own sake, she didn't bring them here to starve to death.
Besides, even though I'm here now, I might be able to go back anytime. I wonder how Mu Tou is doing now. I hope the Lu family won't mistreat him; after all, he's their grandson!
Han Jinghua felt uneasy. She knew Lu Laotai, that old woman, quite well. Although she had many flaws, she valued bloodlines extremely. Back in her hometown, she was quite good at piling up wood.
"Young lady, do you want to see her?" the aunt asked again.
Han Jinghua didn't reply, but the aunt smiled, knowing that she had agreed.
The two daughters uneasily approached. Han Jinghua patted their heads; her rough hands were full of wrinkles, hands that didn't look like they belonged to someone her age.
"Big Girl, Second Girl, you'll always stay with Mommy, right?"
The two girls nodded hurriedly, and only then did Han Jinghua smile:
"Your mother will not abandon you."
At lunchtime that day, a man in his thirties came looking for the aunt. The aunt called Han Jinghua over, and this was the first time the two had met.
