“Chao Yi, he’s an apprentice in the county town.
Chao Hao, he was taken away by a beggar two years ago and has never been found again..."
Although it is not bad news, what is the difference between hearing such news and bad news in this era?
Chaoge clenched his fists, closed his eyes deeply, and let out a long sigh.
"Two years ago, when I was eight years old, there were very few outsiders coming to our village, and I had never even been to town since I was a child. How could such a beggar come from this village?
Are there any other children missing in the village?"
Chaoge spoke calmly until the last sentence when he suddenly raised his voice again. He turned his head with unfriendly eyes and looked at Yunchang, and questioned angrily!
I thought Yunchang was an honest farmer who was not good at speaking, but now looking at Yunchang again, Chaoge just felt extremely cowardly!
Not only did his family fall apart like this, but he also married such a glamorous woman. He even raised the woman's daughter to be a beautiful girl, but his own son went to be an apprentice at such a young age. His youngest son was missing and no one knew whether he was alive or dead!
Chaoge tried to endure it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it in any longer. The last question made her slap the table hard and she stood up in anger!
"I......
I, I don’t want to either. I’ve been looking for a long time, in several nearby towns, villages, and even the county town. Little Pigeon, your father is useless, your father is useless!”
Facing his eldest daughter's anger, Yunchang felt more and more guilty. Tears began to flow as he spoke. He slapped himself in the face one after another, and soon his dark face became red and swollen.
In front of the large table, the two women pursed their lips, said nothing, and lowered their eyes, as if they were staying out of the matter. They were afraid that Chaoge's anger would spread to them, so they dared not make a sound.
However, when Chaoge didn't notice, Xia Xueqin, who was lowering her head, frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.
"Now it's your turn, how did you get married to my father?
"My father is poor and honest. I wonder what a woman like you likes about him?"
Chaoge calmed down her anger. No one answered her. She turned her gaze directly to the woman sitting opposite her.
Being stared at by Chaoge, she subconsciously felt a little uncomfortable. Chaoge's attitude and tone made the woman's usually gentle face show a bit of dissatisfaction.
"Chao Ge, no matter what, I am already your stepmother.
This is already a fact, and your father and I were married after being married through three matchmakers and six engagements. How can you, a junior, speak to me with such an attitude and tone?
Also, even if this family has become what it is now, it cannot be blamed solely on your father.
How can you blame him for your mother's death and your brother's disappearance?
He is honest and simple, but he also treated your mother sincerely and loved you kids very much.
Please stop stabbing your father in the heart."
Looking at the woman's appearance and the tone of her voice that was the same as her best friend in her previous life, Chaoge raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Stop talking nonsense, I just want to ask you, how did you fall in love with him, and why are you willing to marry a man like him?
This family is so poor, but you are lucky enough, you wear nice clothes and don’t have to work in the fields.
This is your daughter, right? She looks exactly like you.
Haha, she is so pretty, but she makes my eldest sister look like a dull sparrow."
"No, sister, you misunderstood.
My mother slipped and fell into the river, and it was my father who jumped in to save her without hesitation.
At that time, there were people all around watching us, including the people in this village. My mother and I had lost our innocence. How could we live like this? The only choice was to marry my father.
Also, I, we didn't treat my older sister harshly. She was only a few months younger than me, and I treated her as my own sister.
My mother’s life wasn’t that hard before, so it’s normal for her to have a few nice sets of clothes when she got married, right?
What I'm wearing is also made from my mother's old clothes. Big sister, you really misunderstood."
Chaoge was deeply suspicious of what the two women said, but did not expose them to their faces.
Now, the basic situation is understood, but these two women are too good at pretending. She has no evidence and no way of knowing their real purpose of marrying Yunchang.
Haha, never mind.
It seems that she will have to stay in this house for a while before she can help the original owner clean up this mess.
Even if she didn't do it to clean up the mess for the original owner, she still had to find out the true identities of the two women opposite her.
Since she can travel through time, does it mean that these two people can also travel through time?
In her previous life, she pushed herself down the stairs and secretly hooked up with her fiancé’s vicious best friend while she was abroad for a few years. How could she not have worn it?
If it was really her——
Chaoge looked at the woman opposite him with a meaningful smile on his face.
"In that case, it seems that I really can't blame you, Dad?
If I really want to blame someone, I'd blame you, Dad, for being too honest.
All kinds of misfortunes only pick on honest people like you to bully them."
Yunchang said nothing, feeling even more guilty.
"Sister, are you leaving again after you come back this time?
You, you are a maid for others, aren't you?"
Yun Chaoyu, who had been silent the whole time, had been holding Chaoge's hand tightly, refusing to let go. She had long been numb to the pain of the misfortunes that had happened at home.
But at this moment, her eldest sister came back, and she didn't want her eldest sister to leave again.
Chaoge looked back, smiled at Yun Chaoyu, and shook her head: "My eldest sister's master returned the indenture contract to my eldest sister. There was a drought over there, and the northern slave Dazi attacked the border, so my master also fled the famine.
So, the eldest sister came back.
By the way, my eldest sister is actually married, but her husband has passed away.
From now on, I don't plan to get married. I will stay with you. You are old enough to get married. Now that your mother is gone, I can't ignore you as your elder sister. I will only feel relieved if I see you happy."
Hearing Chaoge's words, Xia Xueqin couldn't believe it: "You, how come you got married so early when you were a maid?"
It shouldn't be like this, why does everything seem to have changed?
Xia Xueqin's sudden question made Chaoge turn around and glare at her: "Are you dissatisfied with me?"
Chaoge's sudden strength made Xia Xueqin wave her hands repeatedly: "No, no...
I'm just curious. I heard that maids usually get married very late. I, I just..."
"Little dove! Little dove!"
Faced with Chaoge's strong attitude, Xia Xueqin had a hundred question marks in her mind. Just when she didn't know how to explain it, the tightly closed door of the main room was knocked from outside. The familiar voice made Chaoge unable to remember who the visitor was for a moment.
"It's my second aunt's voice. I'll go open the door."
A hint of surprise flashed across Yun Chaoyu's face. She immediately explained to Chaoge and hurried to open the door.
