Li Ruo glanced at Xie Xiao and said, "You've been outside the whole time since then? No wonder you're so tanned."
The person glared at him, displeased: "You've said this so many times already."
Sun Ergou rolled his eyes at his eldest brother again. "The eldest brother only went back once after the coronation, because he had to go back. Everyone said the floodwaters had receded enough to stabilize the country. After that, the eldest brother ignored everyone's advice and went south again, saying he would give himself another year, and he would only officially sit in that position if he couldn't find you again. While we were dealing with the evil mountain bandits and river thieves and the corrupt officials from before, and collecting grain, we were also trying to find out about you. During that time, we mistook you for someone else several times, and he even went crazy a few times—oh dear!"
Another big mouth, "Who's crazy? Why keep saying these useless things?" Talk, talk as much as you want, let that heartless woman know how he's been living, so she'll treat him better in the future.
Li Ruo's eyes were brimming with tears. "And then?"

Sun Ergou shed a few bitter tears.
"Slap!" Another big fight. Xie Xiao's dark face turned red. "Why is a grown man crying?"
Sun Ergou scratched his head and scoffed, "Tch, I wonder who got up in the middle of the night to drink and then started crying..."
"You still say that, huh!" A glare shot over.
Li Ruo turned her head away, pretending not to hear, but her heart was clenching with anxiety.
"Heaven has finally helped me! I've finally found my sister!" Sun Ergou whimpered.
Li Ruofei quickly wiped her eyes, turned her head, and asked, "How are the others? Are they all alright? Grandma, Li Yi, Li Xingran..." She read out a long list of names.
