Thinking about this possibility, Zhou Li's eyes darkened.
This world is not kind to women. Women who get married and give birth to daughters are often looked down upon.
With the current one-child policy, many families who want sons will abandon their daughters if they are born.
It's probably a special case that it got lost after being raised for so long.
They probably never imagined that this three-year-old child would know the way and manage to find his way home, stumbling and bumping along the way.
Zhou Li felt heartbroken and couldn't help but say, "Little girl, are you tired? Auntie is going that way anyway. Put yourself in my basket and I'll carry you back."
Su Tiantian looked at Zhou Li, whose eyes were gentle and sincere.
Su Tiantian thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, thank you, Auntie."
She could knock an old man unconscious with one punch, so naturally she wasn't afraid of Zhou Li.
Although she's young, she's incredibly capable.
She really couldn't walk anymore.
Zhou Li put down the basket, cleaned the clothes inside, and then carried Su Tiantian inside.
She held Su Tiantian and felt that she was a little heavy. Looking at Su Tiantian's fair and tender little hands, she was very puzzled.
This child is being raised very well; he doesn't seem to dislike the child.
But she appeared alone on a desolate mountain road; that would only happen if she had been abandoned.
She had heard many stories of families abandoning their daughters in remote mountains and forests, leaving them to starve to death in various places.
With questions in mind, Zhou Li carried Su Tiantian on her back.
Su Tiantian squatted in the basket on her back and quickly fell asleep, swaying gently.
As Zhou Li reached the village entrance, she saw a large group of villagers leaving the village. Such a massive procession suggested that something had happened.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the group leading the group was actually from the Su family.
The two brothers, Su Chengguo and Su Chenggong, looked serious as they instructed the villagers, "Thank you all, you must find it!"
Zhou Li didn't know what they were looking for, but she knew that the Su family had lost something.
She sighed a little. It was strange that the Su family would lose something. Wasn't their family usually very lucky?
As Zhou Li recalled the past, her eyes dimmed.
She had few good memories of the fishing village, and her feelings were complicated.
The villagers didn't react much when they saw her; some walked out of the village, while others went to various mountainous areas.
As Zhou Li passed by Su Chengguo, she heard Su Chengguo mutter through gritted teeth, "That brat is getting bolder and bolder. When I find her, I'm going to give her a good beating!"
God knows what it feels like to wake up in the morning and find that Su Tiantian isn't home.
The bed was cold; it was clear they had been gone for a long time.
Then, by talking to my family, I learned that everyone slept very well last night, so there was nothing I didn't understand.
This little guy is incredibly audacious.
Despite my anger, I was more worried about her safety.
"Don't worry, Xing Yuan has also arranged for people to look for her. The roads have been blocked off, so Tian Tian won't have gone too far."
Su Chenggong appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually quite flustered inside. However, in a family, someone always needs to remain calm and composed.
Zhou Li's eyes widened as she thought of a possibility.
Probably not.
After thinking for a moment, she stopped and turned around to call out to the two Su brothers: "Su Chengguo, wait a minute!"
Su Chengguo and Su Chenggong stopped when they heard the sound and turned to look at Zhou Li.
"Is there a lost child in your family?"
Zhou Li asked directly.
Su Chengguo frowned and nodded.
Zhou Li put down her basket: "Then come and see if this is it!"
Su Chengguo and Su Chenggong rushed over to take a look, and the little one sleeping soundly in Zhou Li's basket was none other than Su Tiantian!
"Be gentle, don't yell at her. I'll go tell everyone that we don't need to look for her anymore."
Seeing that Su Tiantian was completely relieved, Su Chenggong patted Su Chengguo on the shoulder, gave her some instructions, and then hurriedly went to inform the villagers.
Su Chengguo slowly loosened her clenched fist and carefully lifted Su Tiantian out of the basket.
I had intended to teach her a lesson, but when I picked her up and saw her dirty clothes and disheveled appearance, all my anger vanished, replaced by heartache...
This little guy must be exhausted from walking so far.
Su Tiantian woke up with a start, and seeing Su Chengguo in a daze, she pouted pitifully, "Second Uncle, my feet hurt..."
After complaining of leg pain, she fell asleep again. After all, she's just a child, and she was exhausted after a whole night of tossing and turning.
"Now you know what pain is! That'll teach you to be disobedient. You can't sneak out again next time; you scared us to death..."
Su Chengguo sighed helplessly, raised her hand and gently patted Su Tiantian's back, supporting her with one hand and massaging her calves with the other.
Seeing this, Zhou Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that it's yours. I'll be going now."
Upon learning that it was the child from the Su family, Zhou Li panicked. If it weren't for the Su family producing such a lucky star, she and Zhao Jifa might still be living together as husband and wife.
She was still the hardworking and devoted ox of the Zhao family.
In truth, she should thank the Su family. If it weren't for the Su family making her see reality sooner, she wouldn't be living such a good life now.
Looking at the adorable child, she felt a little lost. On the way, she had thought that if the child was really abandoned, she would take him back and raise him.
But now, she knows it's impossible.
Zhou Li picked up her basket and was about to leave. She needed to go to the Zhao family to see the children, and after that, she would go back to town to set up her stall.
"etc."
Su Chengguo urgently called out to Zhou Li.
Zhou Li stopped and looked at Su Chengguo.
"Did you come back to see Zhao Qiuyue?"
Su Chengguo asked.
Zhou Li was a little surprised that Su Chengguo knew. She nodded and quickly connected the dots to the bad consequences.
"How do you know? Isn't my Yue'er...?"
Zhou Li's eyes were filled with tears, and she dared not continue. Under normal circumstances, how could the Su family possibly know?
Unless something serious has happened, not only the Su family would know, but probably everyone in the village would.
"Don't misunderstand, Zhao Qiuyue is still alive."
Seeing that Zhou Li had misunderstood, Su Chengguo quickly explained.
Zhou Li was even more confused.
If Zhao Qiuyue was alright, how did Su Chengguo know she came back to see Zhao Qiuyue instead of the three children? Why specifically mention Zhao Qiuyue?
"This is a bit complicated. Zhao Qiuyue is in the army right now. Wait for me to take Tiantian home, then I'll take you there. I'll tell you more on the way."
Zhou Li came back to see her child and met Su Tiantian on the way. Su Tiantian kindly carried her back. It just so happened that he knew about Zhao Qiuyue's situation.
"good."
Zhou Li nodded and followed Su Chengguo.
Once home, Liu Xiaohua felt relieved to see everyone.
Upon seeing Zhou Li, she spoke gently, "Please sit down and have a glass of water."
Zhou Li shook her head. She envied the harmonious relationship of the Su family. If she could have a mother-in-law like Liu Xiaohua, her life wouldn't be like this.
But if Zhao's mother were like Liu Xiaohua, Zhao Jifa and Zhao Jixue wouldn't have been so wicked.
After settling Su Tiantian in, Su Chengguo took Zhou Li to the military base and told her what had happened on the way.
Zhou Li was in tears, muttering to herself, "No wonder I had that dream, it was God giving me a warning."
