"Okay, okay."
Yunchang wiped away his tears and led a few people into the main room.
In order to prevent the curious villagers from watching the fun, Yunchang closed the door of the main room and took out the oil lamp that he usually didn't want to light and lit it.
In the middle of the main room is still the large square table that Yunchang made when he got married. It has been repaired and its left leg has been repaired, but the old and new legs are still supporting it.
The same goes for the several benches, which are crooked and the only decoration in the main room.
Chaoge sat down on the left side of Yunchang. Yun Chaoyu stood beside her, wiping her tears, holding her hand tightly, refusing to let go and having no intention of sitting down.
She looked so cautious and nervous, as if she was afraid that if she let go of her hand, her elder sister would disappear.
The mother and daughter, who had made Chaoge feel unsettled for a long time, sat down on the right side of Yunchang and opposite him respectively. The two women looked at each other, and the older woman spoke first.
"Little Pigeon, I am your stepmother. Your father and I came to this family four years ago by accident..."
The woman broke the silence as soon as she spoke, and her gentle tone made Chaoge almost think that she was a kind person.
Chaoge raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at her, then looked away calmly.
This woman looks exactly like her best friend in her previous life!
What kind of fortune is this?
Besides looking a little older than her best friend in her previous life, her eyebrows, her voice, her tone...
And her daughter is exactly like her best friend from her youth.
Chaoge secretly clenched his fists, his eyes were cold, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy!
This time traveler looked nothing like her in her previous life, but fate brought two people who looked exactly like her enemy's best friend to her side.
Are they time travelers, or am I the one who traveled through time?
If possible, Chaoge would like to ask the underworld if they could not play so excitingly?
"We'll talk about your business later."
Chaoge said indifferently, if you are not enthusiastic, it is impossible to be enthusiastic.
Turning his head, Chaoge's eyes fell on Yunchang's face at the top. This father looked much older than the original owner remembered. He was in his thirties and even had some white hair. He was tall and had good features, but his eyes were moist and red. Chaoge couldn't understand why he was sad.
Isn't it the greatest joy for the men to have this beautiful bride again?
"Where's my mother?"
Finally, Chaoge asked, and Yunchang's red eyes became even redder, tears rolled down his cheeks, and he opened his mouth, but all that came out was sobs.
"Mom, Mom is dead..."
Yun Chaoyu's sobbing voice sounded beside Chaoge. Chaoge took a deep breath and felt stuffy in his chest!
Only she at this moment understood all the emotions and how ridiculous she felt!
"Oh, so I sold myself to be a maid for five years, and in return my mother passed away?
How could my mother die? She just had a severe cold and was a little weak.
The doctor also said that as long as I take the medicine on time, there is no way my mother will die!
Dad, tell me, why is this happening?
The medicine cost several taels of silver, but it can't even cure a minor cold?"
Chaoge wanted to be calm, but she thought of the eleven-year-old girl. In order to prevent her father from selling the only two acres of land that supported them, she would rather sell herself to buy medicine for her mother. But in return, she still received the news that her mother had passed away...
Chaoge couldn't accept it. When she thought of the original owner's obsession, just to come back to see her mother and her family, Chaoge really couldn't calm down the resentment in her heart.
Yun Chang sniffed and his eyes were a little distracted: "Your mother's illness was originally cured, but because of your departure, she has been depressed and listless all day long.
A few months later, when he went to the river to wash clothes, his foot slipped and he rolled into the river, and was washed away by the rushing water.
At that time, your eldest aunt and second aunt were unable to catch her. Your eldest uncle and second uncle and I searched downstream for three months, hoping that your mother had been rescued by a good family.
Even if he was not rescued, we hoped to find the body if he was dead or alive. Finally, we found him two hundred miles away.
But I heard that when the person was fished out, she was in a terrible state. Those kind people have buried your mother's body and left a bracelet as an artifact, hoping that someone can recognize her when they come looking for her."
As he spoke, Yunchang took off a string of beads from his left wrist. It was woven with a red rope, and the beads were simple wooden beads, and it was impossible to tell what material they were made of.
Chaoge recognized the beads at a glance. This was the personal item of the original owner's mother. Since the original owner was a child, she remembered that her mother always wore this string of beads on her hand.
There were four beads at the time, with some silver beads and colored stones on them. However, because the family was poor, the silver beads and stones had long been sold by the original owner's mother and exchanged for food.
As for the remaining beads, when the original owner was eight years old, she clamored for them, so her mother took one and strung it up for her with a red string. The original owner wore it for many years.
But now...
Chaoge didn’t pay much attention to it before, but now she realized that the bead on her wrist had disappeared long ago?!
Thinking back carefully, the original owner was still wearing it when he left Yao County. Could it have fallen off when he was robbing with those refugees?
The bead was not a valuable thing, but the original owner's mother said that it was given by their grandmother, and she was given one first, and then each of her brothers and sisters would have one, but now...
"Later, your eldest uncle and second uncle and I brought your mother's remains back and buried them on the opposite mountain.
Little, little pigeon, your mother has always missed you.
Your mother blames herself deeply when she finds out that you sold yourself to buy medicine for her.
At first we kept it a secret from your mother and didn’t dare to tell her, but later when she recovered, we learned about it from other villagers…”
Chaoge closed his eyes deeply, his heart aching badly.
A hemp rope always breaks at the thinnest part, and misfortune always strikes at the unfortunate...
If her mother were still alive, even if she didn't travel through time, the one who came back would still be the original owner, and at least their family would be sweet and happy.
Even if life is poor, the family members are all there.
"Where are the eldest and second brothers?
Why don’t I see them?”
Chaoge suppressed the discomfort in her heart, looked at Yunchang, and felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, after he said this, Yun Chang's sad face became even more painful!
Chaoge frowned and lost her patience. She didn't want to hear the same bad news again, but Yun Chang's behavior tortured her even more.
"Stop crying, what's going on?"
Chaoge suddenly raised her voice, and Yunchang, who was hesitating and unable to open his mouth, was suddenly startled. He looked at Chaoge beside him in disbelief. The eyes behind Chaoge's veil made him feel uneasy.
