Chapter 40 I’m here to pick you up!
The next day.
Su got up early. She cleaned the next room inside and out again, and then wiped the bed with a wet rag until it was shiny.
After everything was ready, seeing Xu Zhiyi still sleeping, he quickly went over and pulled her arm: "Zhiyi, you are still sleeping, it's already bright outside! The sun has risen, you should hurry over to the Shen family and see if there is anything you can help with."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi looked out the window and saw that it was still early, so he fell back to sleep, yawning and saying, "Mom, don't worry, it's still early."
Su looked at her and said, "Don't sleep! I'll go make breakfast first. You should bring her back for lunch."
When Xu Zhiyi heard this, after Su Shi left, he quickly entered the space and went to check the spring water first. He found that the water level had risen again! He cheered immediately.
Then I went up the mountain to pick some gray vegetables and found ten pheasant eggs.
After coming out, he took it directly to the kitchen and gave it to Su, asking her to take care of it.
Then after washing up, he went to Carpenter Li to check out the wooden barrels, wooden basins and carts he had ordered. Coincidentally, Carpenter Li had just finished the work last night, so Xu Zhiyi came over today!
After paying the money, Xu Zhiyi pushed the cart, intending to take the wooden barrels and basins back home first.
Su saw Xu Zhiyi pushing the cart back, and she thought she had picked someone up so quickly, but it was already halfway through the morning and she was still wandering around.
Su: "Zhiyi, why haven't you gone yet?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi joked, "Mom, I, the bride, am not anxious, but you, the mother-in-law, are so anxious that your mouth is blistering!"
Su: "Go away, stop teasing your mother."
"Okay! Mom, I just want to see if Carpenter Li has finished fixing the cart. If he does, won't I be able to use it today?"
After saying that, he quickly pushed the cart to Shen Wuyou’s house.
But she had never been there, so she only knew the direction but didn't know which house it was. So she asked the children playing on the roadside.
Xu Zhiyi looked at the thatched hut in front of him and was surprised to see no movement in the yard. Shouldn't they be getting up and packing their bags at this time?
Could it be that the child pointed to the wrong door?
After thinking about it, he called out a few times: “Is anyone there? Is this Shen Wuyou’s home?”
Shen Wuyou, who was about to light a fire to cook in the kitchen, froze when he heard Xu Zhiyi's voice. She, she really came to pick someone up?
Then he ran out quickly. When he saw Xu Zhiyi outside the yard, he was happy for a moment, but then he thought of his mistake and became depressed again.
When Xu Zhiyi saw Shen Wuyou coming out, he immediately waved his hand: “Shen Wuyou, I’m here to pick you up!”
Upon hearing this, Shen Wuyou quickly opened the half-open courtyard door, feeling depressed, and bowed to Xu Zhiyi and said:
"I'm sorry, Miss Xu, I was too nervous yesterday! I ran away all of a sudden! I...I forgot to tell you about my brother's condition! My brother injured his leg seven years ago, and since then, he can't walk, so...what I said yesterday..."
Xu Zhiyi interrupted: "I know!"
Shen Wuyou looked at Xu Zhiyi in surprise, then looked at the cart she pushed over, unsure of why she was doing this: "Then...then you today..."
"I'm here to pick you two up! Hey, haven't you started packing yet?"
"Okay, is there anything I can do for you? We need to clean up quickly, Mom has prepared lunch for you at home."
Shen Wuyou was stunned! She...what did she mean by this?
Seeing that he didn't move, Xu Zhiyi angrily asked, "What's wrong? Hey, you don't want to regret it, do you?"
No! If nothing unexpected happens, she will have to flee the famine in eleven or twelve days at most! She hasn't even registered as a female household yet, there's really no time left!
Shen Wuyou's path is her hope!
“No, I don’t regret it” Shen Wuyou waved his hand.
Xu Zhiyi: "Then... go and clean up?"
Shen Wuyou raised the corner of his mouth and nodded, then turned around and ran back to the room.
"Brother, Xu Zhiyi is here to pick us up! She is willing, she doesn't dislike us"
Shen Changan looked at his brother who ran in happily. He had just heard it in the room!
However, if he did this, he would really be a burden to the girl, and he didn't want to hurt her.
"Wuyou, my brother doesn't want to go, so you go!"
Shen Wuyou stopped folding clothes. He knew what his brother was thinking, but he couldn't abandon his brother.
"Brother, it's okay. No matter what, Wuyou will be with you."
Xu Zhiyi was just about to come in and ask if there was anything he could help with when he overheard the conversation between the two brothers.
Shen Changan looked at Xu Zhiyi who suddenly appeared at the door of the room. He was stunned for a while, and suddenly his inferiority complex surged up. He pinched his unconscious legs tightly with both hands, wishing he could die, so that he wouldn't have to suffer so much!
At this moment, Xu Zhiyi was devastated! What should she do? The brothers were unwilling, could she really not change the original owner's fate?
She had finally severed her ties with the Xu family and was able to escape. If she didn't have to flee famine, she could have slowly spent time with the Xu family. However, if she fled famine, she would have no household registration and no travel permit, unless she tore up the severance letter and returned to the Xu family.
But if she follows the Xu family, if they sell her and Su out on the road to escape famine, just like the original owner did in her previous life, she has no military power, and if she follows the Xu family, she will easily end up in a dead end.
Xu Zhiyi looked at Shen Changan. She knew that as long as she could persuade Shen Changan, she would be able to deal with Shen Wuyou.
"Well, Brother Shen, I actually knew about your situation yesterday! But I can still come here today to prove that I really don't mind and I accept it."
Shen Changan didn't expect Xu Zhiyi to be so direct. His face was a little unnatural, but he still didn't want to drag the girl down, so he had to apologize: "Miss, thank you, but I'm sorry, I'll only be a burden in this way."
Xu Zhiyi waved his hand: "No, I volunteered, how can I be considered a burden? Besides, when we have the conditions in the future, we can also seek medical treatment. Maybe there will be a day when I can be cured."
"We are only in this small village, and we have met a limited number of people. If one day you go out and have a look, you might really meet a doctor who can cure your leg. Everything is possible."
"Besides, whose life will be smooth sailing? You can find your way, but who knows what the outcome will be until the end?"
Shen Changan was shocked when he heard Xu Zhiyi's words! It was as if she was emitting an endless vitality, as if nothing could defeat her tenacity!
Xu Zhiyi screamed in his heart!
Ah! Ah! She couldn't continue! She was at a loss for words!
Oops! I forgot!
Shen Wuyou, who was standing aside, looked at Xu Zhiyi at this moment, his eyes full of amazement.
When Shen Changan felt Xu Zhiyi's bright eyes, the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he seemed unable to utter a sound when he opened his mouth.
