Chaoge lowered her eyes and chuckled, "I am not a daughter of a wealthy family, I wear a veil just to hide my ugliness.
So, as long as you are not afraid, why not show it to you?"
Chaoge's words made the woman look confused.
The eyes behind the veil are clear and bright, and it is obvious that she has a beautiful face...
"ah!
Girl, I was rude. I didn't expect you really wanted to cover up the scar on your face.
It's a pity that the girl has such beautiful features. She should be kind and beautiful. Why does God treat her so unfairly? ! "
The woman looked at Chaoge's scar, which was obviously only a few months old, and felt as if she were made of water. Her eyes became red with heartache again.
"It's not easy to survive after crawling out of the refugee group. It's just a pile of skin. There's no need to be so sentimental."
Before Chaoge could finish his words, Chen Tangan, who had hurriedly followed him, appeared at the back door.
However, when he suddenly saw Chaoge's disfigured and hideous face, he was also shocked and his expression suddenly showed a hint of horror.
But after hearing what Chaoge said, Chen Tang'an, who was frightened by the sudden disfigured face, instantly turned red in the ears.
He secretly regretted his rash and uncontrolled emotions just now, but Chaoge was already looking at him with a bright smile.
"Sir, Baozi has been with me for a few days, and I like him very much.
Not to mention that he treats him like his own son, but he is very close to him.
I know that you have no children. No matter what your reasons are for wanting a son, please do not forget your duties as a father if you have more sons in the future.
I am a little girl and I am not presumptuous enough to say too much. "
After saying that, Chaoge took the child from the woman's hands, hugged him reluctantly, kissed him on the forehead, then gave him back to the woman and put her veil back on.
"Goodbye!"
Chaoge left, but her calm and free-spirited figure remained in the hearts of the two men for a long time.
"My husband..."
“This woman is probably also a person with a miserable life, but she does not repay evil with kindness, and is so kind-hearted. I really admire her.
Don't worry, I will treat you and your son well and won't let you get hurt in the slightest."
Yunjia Village——
Chaoge rode on horseback and walked slowly for most of the day, and finally arrived at the original owner's hometown.
Yunjia Village is not a flat or rich place. Instead, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces a river on one side.
Even the road leading to the town was more than ten miles away. The mountain road was rugged with ups and downs, and it would be difficult for a carriage to travel on it.
Finally, after climbing over a small hill, Chaoge relied on the original owner's memory to look down at the entire village not far away while recalling the terrain here.
The original owner had been gone for more than five years, but the appearance of the village seemed to have not changed much from what he remembered.
The houses are still the same mud-walled thatched houses, and the fields are still growing the same crops.
September is the harvest season, and even though it is almost evening, people working in the fields are still busy.
Smoke has already risen from the chimneys on some rooftops, making this small village hidden deep in the mountains seem peaceful and tranquil.
Chaoge had already changed into a floral double-breasted top and green trousers that a country girl would wear.
Her hair was tied into a big braid draped over her chest. If it weren't for the veil on her face, she would have really looked like a country girl.
Not only that, she also had a small bag in her hands.
In the bundle were a set of the same clothes, with different colors of floral prints, a few bags of candy, and some small change.
The human heart is unpredictable. In the memory, the original owner's mother was gentle, virtuous and hardworking, his father was simple and honest and not good at expressing his love, his grandfather was a careless person, his grandmother was strong, and there were a lot of uncles, aunts, cousins and brothers.
With the wealth she has now, she can probably buy the entire village, but if not, how can she tell who is good and who is evil?
Chaoge, carrying a bag and wearing a pair of cloth shoes with holes deliberately torn in them, walked into the village entrance while looking around.
As soon as she entered, the villagers working in the fields on both sides of the road looked at her frequently. Some even put down their work out of curiosity, stood up and shouted at her: "Girl, which relative are you visiting?"
Chaoge had witnessed a lot of the enthusiasm and simplicity of the folks in her previous life. When she was suddenly called, she felt like she was back in the village where her grandmother lived.
"Yun Chang's family, your corn is really big, you have a good harvest this year!"
The casual conversation was short and Chaoge felt that the dangers he had experienced when fleeing the famine seemed like a dream only at this moment.
"What corn? Girl, this is called corn. Which relative of Yunchang's family are you? Why are you wearing a veil? Why have I never seen you before?"
The aunt didn't stop working and even started chatting with Chaoge.
Chaoge carried her bag on her shoulder without stopping: "I'm not their relative, I'm her daughter."
Chaoge replied loudly, her voice clear and sweet. Before the villagers could react, she had already walked a long way away.
Looking at the figure gradually disappearing on the village road, the old lady opened her mouth in surprise and immediately pulled the man beside her, unable to believe it!
"What? I, did I hear it right!?
That, that is Yun Chang's daughter? !
Could it be Yun Chaoge who worked as a maid for others for five or six years? "
Chaoge's voice was very loud, the old lady didn't hear it wrong, and the man next to him didn't hear it wrong either.
"Yes, is it Yun Chang's eldest daughter Chaoge?
Yun Chaoge?
Oh my, you’ve grown so tall.
When she left, she was still skinny, just a little yellow-haired girl!"
Because of Chaoge's howl, word spread quickly, and soon everyone in the village knew she was back.
"Hey, isn't Yunchang picking corn in the back hills?
Quick, go and tell him that Chaoge is back. His mother and father are not here. He will be so confused when he goes back!"
On this side, Yun Chaoge pushed open the gently closed courtyard door. The gap between the door panels of the dilapidated courtyard door was larger than when the original owner left.
After stepping over the threshold, the yard is still the same as it was at the beginning. The old locust tree in the yard has turned yellow, and many of its leaves have fallen onto the muddy yard and are scattered everywhere.
There were three rooms in a row, and the mud walls were covered with cobwebs.
Except for the new haystack on the roof, the walls of the main room had cracks.
The pigsty on the left was also empty, but there was some straw thrown inside and two torn quilts that were so black that no color could be seen.
The kitchen on the right also collapsed halfway, and now the originally dark kitchen was completely bright.
As far as the original owner remembered, although this family was poor, it had never been so dirty.
Her mother is a hard-working person. At the very least, her younger brothers and sisters have grown up and can help with a lot of housework. It shouldn't be like this, right?
