After marrying off their daughter, the old couple of the Qin family were very sad. They also heard that Jiang Shanhe, who had just gotten married, was captured and joined the army, leaving her with no control over her life and death. Now their daughter became a half-widow.

The old couple of the Qin family hated and regretted deeply. They were afraid that their daughter would blame them, so they dared not appear in front of her.

If I miss Xiaoguo, I will secretly go to Taohua Village to see her.

Not long after she got married, the old couple missed their daughter, but as they had no donkey or horse carriage, they could only walk to Taohua Village to see her. When they arrived, they saw that she was pregnant, and realized that their daughter was going to be a mother. The old couple was very happy, and hurried back to Qinzhuang to buy things for their daughter, including food and clothes. Although they were not the best, they were the best things they could give.

Speaking of this, Xiao Guo remembered something. In the original owner's memory, there was such an incident.

She had just gotten pregnant at that time and always wanted to eat something sour. Before Jiang's mother went to buy it, she found a bundle outside the door. When Jiang's mother brought it in, she was curious about who prepared it. The original owner found that it was full of her favorite foods. For a moment, she guessed that it was prepared by the Qin couple, but then she thought, why would her parents prepare these for her when they didn't come to see her.

It turned out that they really prepared it. When Xiaoguo heard this, tears couldn't be controlled and flowed down.

Qin Anming continued to narrate...

After that, the Qin family’s old couple would always visit Xiaoguo from time to time, until they watched her grow pregnant from the time she showed signs of pregnancy to the time she went into labor. That day, they were so worried about Xiaoguo that they couldn’t eat or sleep. Finally, the child was born safely and the adults were all fine, and they finally felt relieved.

But when the famine came, the old couple passed away due to illness caused by constant hunger and overwork...

After that, in order to give his parents a decent burial, Qin Anming sold the land and used the money to buy a coffin and funeral clothes, preparing to bury them in the back mountain. The old couple was happy and the back mountain was nice. Until his death, he was still thinking about Xiaoguo and her children...

After hearing what Qin Anming said, Xiaoguo burst into tears and her breathing became rapid.

So that's how it is. Her parents still love her, it's just her problem. It's all because she thinks too extreme. She even missed the last look at the two old people. It's all because she couldn't let go!

Xiaoguo was sad, angry, and regretful at this moment, with all her emotions mixed together.

All the tears flowed out, Xiaoguo didn't even bother to wipe them away, he could only cover his aching heart.

Qin Anming was also crying bitterly, and he also thought of his parents.

Xiaoguo slowly calmed down, looked at Qin Anming's current appearance, and asked him what happened.

Qin Anming sighed and slowly explained the reason.

It turned out that after taking care of his parents' funeral, he lost his own land and was still in the midst of famine. He could only go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables to survive. Occasionally he could catch a pheasant to eat, but this was a very rare occurrence.

Normally, I would help others harvest and grow crops, and I would be rewarded with a meal, but this was rarely the case.

This time, I was collecting food for my family, but it started to rain and I didn't have time to hide. I got caught in the rain and had not eaten enough for a long time, so I collapsed.

Xiaoguo listened, feeling extremely distressed, "Have you seen a doctor?"

Qin Anming was a little embarrassed after hearing this, "No..."

How can you hire a doctor without money?

Xiaoguo nodded to show that she understood. Looking at the surrounding environment, she made a decision in her heart, but she didn't know whether Qin Anming would agree.

Xiao Guo thought about this and saw a bit more determination in the other person's eyes. It would be better not to tell him about this matter for the time being. He probably wouldn't agree. She had to think of a way.

Qin Anming felt that his sister looked at him strangely, but he didn't think much about it. Thinking of Xiaoguo's sudden visit today, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. "By the way, why did you come here today? Did something happen to you?"

Xiao Guo felt sad when she heard this. These were her family members, and they only thought about her. Xiao Guo almost cried again, "I missed you so much, but you didn't come to pick me up. I thought you didn't want me anymore."

"Of course not!"

"Then why didn't you come to me after your parents died?"

Qin Anming explained anxiously, even coughing.

Xiao Guo quickly stood up and patted him on the back to comfort him. She waited until he felt better before sitting down and listening to him continue talking.

"After you got married, your parents thought about you all the time. After they died, I was alone and it was not good for me to add to your burden. You can still earn one or two taels of silver a month. Living with your mother-in-law and Zhuangzhuang, you can't live a very rich life, but you can make a living."

Qin Anming said this. It was a time of disaster, how could he add to Xiaoguo's burden? He could just hold on by himself.

Xiaoguo frowned. From what he said, he didn't know that Jiang's mother had passed away, and that Jiang Shanhe had also died in the battlefield.

Yes, if Qin An knew about Qin Xiaoguo's situation, he would definitely not watch her eating tree bark with her child alone. He would have taken them back to the Qin family long ago. Although they couldn't eat enough every day, he would not let Qin Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang go hungry even if he risked his life.

Seeing that he kept coughing, Xiaoguo wanted to pour him a glass of water, but she saw that the bucket was empty. She walked around the yard but didn't see any well or anything like that.

"Where can I get water for home?" Xiaoguo said as he was about to get a bucket to fetch water.

Qin Anming quickly stopped her and said, "Don't go. It's too far. There is only one well in the village. It's too far from here."

He saw that Xiaoguo had skinny arms and legs, and was afraid that she would fall again when he thought about her carrying a bucket that was half her height and staggering back to fetch water.

Xiao Guo sat down helplessly. Qin Anming's living environment was even worse than when he first arrived!

"elder brother!"

Xiaoguo called Qin Anming loudly, and Qin Anming was startled.

He was just immersed in embarrassment, and he felt embarrassed and embarrassed to let his sister know how difficult his life was.

So Xiaoguo's shout just scared him. He listened to Xiaoguo's serious tone and looked at himself in a state of bewilderment.

"Why, what happened?"

Seeing that his brother was frightened, Xiaoguo slowed down his tone and prepared to speak, "Come with me to Taohua Village!"

"What?!"

Qin Anming thought he had heard it wrong and asked her again.

"There are only Zhuangzhuang and I left in my family. My mother-in-law passed away not long after my parents."

Xiaoguo explained it clearly to Qin Anming.

"What?!"

Qin Anming didn't expect that the old lady, who seemed to be in good health, would pass away so suddenly.

Xiaoguo explained to him, "It was because he heard the news of Jiang Shanhe's death, and there was a famine at the time, so he fell down and never got up, and died immediately."

Qin Anming looked incredulous, his eyebrows raised, eyes wide open, mouth open, "This! This!"

Qin Anming was confused. He didn't know why he didn't go to see Xiaoguo at the beginning.

"How have you been doing lately?"

Qin Anming asked this question with difficulty, his lips trembling and his words trembling.
