The smile on Xia Rong's face was gone and she sighed.
"Let's go. I don't want to stay in this house for even a day."
"no!"
As soon as Xia Rong finished speaking, Xia Xueqin immediately covered Xia Rong's face!
"I can't leave, mother, don't forget that Yunxuan is a scholar now. Only by following such a family can my daughter find a good family in the future.
Mother, if my daughter marries well in the future, won’t you be rich and powerful without any difficulty?
My daughter's appearance is one of the best in this village. Let's get along well with them. Next time Uncle Yunxuan comes back, you must spend more time with Aunt Yunxuan.
Also, Yun Chaoge has only been a maid for a few years, mother, are you still afraid of her?"
Xia Rong smiled bitterly in her heart. How could she be afraid of her?
She was just a little disappointed...
Now she felt that there was no point in her staying. People like her would be better off leaving here.
As for Xia Xueqin's daughter, it would be best if she could marry into a good family, but she believed that with her own abilities, she would not have to rely on her daughter to live in the future, and she could live a better life on her own.
Besides being a farmer, Yunchang is actually a good-looking guy.
He was in his thirties, tall and straight. Due to years of hard work, his figure was really to her liking. He looked good too, at least the type she liked.
Apart from being too honest and simple, there is really nothing to complain about.
As a remarried woman, what kind of man can she find?
With her intelligence and talent, even if she could find a man with status and wealth, she would only be someone else's mistress and would have to endure the bullying of the wife.
Besides, which man in this era is not chauvinistic and acts like a boss at home?
So Yunchang is her temporary choice, but not her permanent choice.
"I'm not afraid of her, that's all, you don't understand.
Just wait and see. By the way, have you memorized all the herbs I taught you?"
"How can I remember so much? Mom, why don't you take me up the mountain to identify them in person tomorrow? I can't tell them apart even if you just talk about it.
I only picked a little when I went up the mountain today, and it got stepped on."
Xia Rong nodded after hearing this and said, "We mother and daughter don't have much money right now. If I had money, I would definitely double it back.
So from now on, you have to go up the mountain more diligently. Once those herbs are sold for money and we have enough capital, I will take you to the town to open a shop.
You can earn money by opening a shop. If you have a lot of money, are you still worried about not being able to marry into a good family?"
The more Xia Xueqin listened, the happier she became. Everything had changed, even her mother had changed...
If I had money, I would dress myself up a bit more...
Here, Chaoge came to the Yun family's old house.
Since the four sons and one daughter all got married, the two elders of the Yun family divided the house. They each chose a residential plot and built a house. They still live in the old house.
Although the old house is dilapidated, it is still as clean and tidy as I remember.
While Chaoge was still looking around the old house, Mrs. Zhang inside heard voices outside.
She walked out of the inner room and into the small courtyard. Her eldest daughter-in-law, second daughter-in-law, and grandchildren had all come so early today.
"Mom, look, who's back?"
Wang pulled Chaoge and walked her to Mrs. Zhang.
Chaoge smiled and said, "Second Aunt, I'm still wearing a veil, how could grandma recognize me?"
"Little pigeon?!"
When Chaoge opened her mouth, even with a veil on, she had transformed from a little girl into a grown-up lady, but Old Lady Zhang still recognized her at a glance!
Old Mrs. Zhang, who is always serious, couldn't help but tear up when she called out "little pigeon".
She had an expressionless face, but she showed a rare bit of excitement. Even her hands at her sides were trembling slightly.
"Mom, you, you are so amazing!
The little dove hasn't even taken off her veil, and you actually recognized her!
Mom, it’s the little pigeon, the little pigeon is back! "
Wang had a very loud voice and wanted to keep the secret, but she didn't expect that her mother-in-law, although old, had good eyesight.
"grandmother."
Chaoge stepped forward, reached out and held Old Lady Zhang's hands, and called out in a crisp voice.
This old lady is a very strict old lady. She usually doesn't smile much to her juniors, but she always cares about every one of them.
Even when the original owner's mother had been ill for many days and had not recovered, Old Lady Zhang still secretly sent the coffin book.
Mrs. Zhang nodded, patted the singer's back gently, and pulled her into the house.
"Old man, the little pigeon is back. She came to see us."
Mrs. Zhang had a blank expression on her face, but her voice was faintly choked with sobs. In the dim room, on a wooden bed, in the yellowed mosquito net, there was a skinny old man with gray hair, his eyes weakly open.
The smell in the room was a bit unpleasant. After all, Old Man Yun had been paralyzed for more than a year. In the countryside in this era, he could still live for more than a year, which was only possible because of Mrs. Zhang's careful care.
Many elderly people become paralyzed, and within three months their bodies develop ulcers, or they die from various complications.
When Old Man Yun heard what Mrs. Zhang said, he couldn't speak, so he stretched out his hands, which he couldn't raise very high, and kept struggling and grabbing in the air, babbling excitedly, trying to speak, but not a single word came out clearly. His eyes were bright and wide open, and he kept searching the room.
Chaoge looked at the old man of the Yun family lying there in the dark room, and felt very uncomfortable.
Even though the original owner was a girl, in this era, their Yun family did not have such a rule of favoring boys over girls.
Not only her, but also her sister and cousins, all grew up around Old Man Yun all day long.
When Old Man Yun was still able to work, his grandchildren were still young. Old Man Yun took his sons to the dock to carry bags, and he would always bring them some snacks when he came back.
Even though the family was very poor and had brown rice porridge or sorghum porridge for every meal, even if it was just two twisted dough sticks or a pea cake, they would bring it back and give a small piece to each of the grandchildren.
Although the original owner had a poor childhood, she really grew up in a honeypot. No wonder even after the original owner's soul left the body, she was unwilling to go to the underworld immediately and also asked her to come back to visit.
"grandfather!"
Chaoge has a grandfather, but he doesn't like her. She called him once, and he turned his head away in disgust and didn't even look at her.
She never screamed again after that.
She doesn't have a grandfather, so she really envies the grandfather-grandson relationship in the original owner's memory.
