There were too many people; one carriage simply wasn't enough to accommodate everyone, so in the end, we had to ask for two.
After a shaky journey, we finally arrived back at Lujiazhuang Village in Wuling Town.
The villagers were surprised to see two horse-drawn carriages arrive in the village. It was rare for horse-drawn carriages to come to their small town, but this time two had suddenly appeared.
The carriage stopped, and the eldest son and his wife were the first to get off.
Some people didn't even recognize the two of them when they saw them. But when Han Datou and his wife came down next, some people recognized them.
"Isn't this someone from the Han family?"
"I heard they went to the capital? Why are they back?"
"It must be for the Lu family, right?"
"Judging from their expressions, they seem to have ill intentions!"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, and some people who had a good relationship with the Lu family had already rushed off to inform them.
The village head of Lujiazhuang rushed over upon hearing the news. Seeing the unusual carriage, he knew that the Han family was no longer the same as before.
Their family has a remarkable granddaughter, and the whole family has taken off.
Fortunately, her granddaughter was quite magnanimous and didn't hold a grudge about the past, otherwise...
When did the Han family ever have such a good life? Although everyone despised the Han family's actions, they were mostly envious.
Why can't they have a capable granddaughter?
"Uncle Han, what's going on here...?"
With so many people arriving at once, the village head had to think things through.
"Let's have a chat with the Lu family!"
Han Datou spoke with a stern face.
"Shall we go ahead?"
It's a bit of a distance from here to Old Lu's house, we can't just wait on the road.
"No need, let Old Madam Lu come over!"
Just then, the messenger arrived. Old Mrs. Lu led her sons over, calling out, "Is it Xiao Nan and the others who are back?"
That was all she could think of.
But when she arrived, she saw that only Han Datou and his group were there.
"My dear in-law, what are you doing...?"
"Grandma Lu, I've come here today just to ask you one thing: where's Wood?"
Seeing the anger in Old Mrs. Han's eyes, Old Mrs. Lu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Han family knew she had given away the wood? But there was nothing she could do.
The family was poor, and their two sons disliked wood. They said that if they kept him, he might starve to death at any time.
The person she sent off was actually better off than herself. Although they traveled all over the country and had a tough life, at least they could at least make a living.
Although Grandma Lu felt a little guilty about this, she didn't feel too guilty.
Taking care of a small child is too tiring; she can't handle it all by herself. How old is she? When has she ever personally cared for such a young child?
"My dear in-law, that blockhead..."
Grandma Lu was still a little hesitant; giving her grandson away was not a good thing.
Many people in the village didn't know, and they looked at Grandma Lu with curiosity.
"I've come to see my grandson. Call Wood out here!"
Grandma Han glared at her coldly. At this point, what didn't Grandma Lu understand? She didn't know how Grandma Han got the news, but now, the people over there knew.
“My dear in-law, you know my family's situation; it's just too difficult. We simply can't afford to raise any more wood.”
No one understood what he meant. A three- or four-year-old child doesn't eat much, so how much more should he be fed?
To put it bluntly, if you save a little bit from your own diet, it's enough for the child to eat.
"So? Where is the wood now?"
"I...I don't know either!" Old Mrs. Lu looked embarrassed, not daring to meet everyone's gaze. Sending away her own grandson would mean her Lu family would never be able to hold their heads high in the village again.
"Hehe, you don't know, but I do!"
Grandma Han stared at her intently, never expecting that the Lu family would be so ruthless.
"you……"
"My dear in-laws, where is Wood? Is he alright? I miss him terribly!"
Upon hearing the news that Grandma Han had wood, Grandma Lu's eyes reddened with excitement. She reached out and gripped Grandma Han's arm tightly. Actually, she had regretted it a little after sending the person away.
The child is too young and doesn't know anything yet. Such a small child doesn't understand anything. Even at home, he is disliked by his uncle and others. The stall owner is just a craftsman and a stranger. How can she expect him to treat the child kindly?
Grandma Han could tell from her anxious expression that it wasn't fake, but she still felt very sad inside.
The wood was too small; no matter how many wrong things his parents did, they dared not punish him.
Grandma Han indifferently pulled away from Grandma Lu's hand, turned around, walked to the sedan chair behind, and pushed open the curtain with one hand.
The sedan curtain was lifted, and a woman stepped out.
The woman had exquisite features, and her clothes were clearly expensive. However, that wasn't the main point; the main point was that she was holding a small monkey in her arms.
The little monkey saw everyone, and finally its gaze fell on Grandma Lu. It gestured vigorously with its fists and palms, making squeaking noises.
No one understood what he meant, but looking at his fierce eyes, they still found it a bit unbelievable.
This is a little monkey, but its gaze is so much like a human's.
Grandma Han looked at the little monkey with affection in her eyes and said to Zhou Jie, "Miss Zhou, let him go."
Zhou Jie nodded, and the little monkey jumped out of her arms and ran to Grandma Lu's side in a few steps, climbing up her leg.
Grandma Lu was stunned for a moment and didn't react immediately. Suddenly, she felt a pain on her face and saw that the little monkey had climbed onto her body and was hitting her face with its paws.
Old Mrs. Lu's face was slashed, a bloody mess. The deep bloodstains were enough to make anyone's scalp crawl.
Grandma Lu reached out to take the little monkey down, but suddenly heard Grandma Han's leisurely voice: "Didn't you want to see Mu Tou? He's already gone to find you, and you don't recognize him?"
Grandma Lu's hand remained frozen in place, while her face stung from the blows.
She reached out her hand, her eyes fixed on the fierce-looking little monkey, unable to believe that this was wood.
The people behind him also changed their expressions drastically, took a few steps back, and stared in disbelief.
"How is this possible?" Old Mrs. Lu didn't even care about the pain on her face. She felt that someone must be joking with her.
However, Old Mrs. Han sneered: "When you sold the wood to that person, didn't you already care about his life or death?"
"I... I just wanted to give him a way to live!"
Grandma Lu began to sob, and the tears fell onto her wound, causing her excruciating pain.
But nothing can compare to the pain in my heart.
Seeing the fierce-looking little monkey, she never imagined that it would be her grandson.
The villagers who were watching were stunned; it was the first time they had ever heard that a person could turn into a monkey.
The village headman walked over, examined the little monkey for a while, and then asked, "Is this really it?"
