Chapter 537 Sun Xiaotao Returns to Her Parents' Home

The old beggar was afraid of the officers and did not dare to step forward. Seeing that he failed, he spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground with a fierce look in his eyes, and then slept in Sun Xiaotao's original position.

The snoring is very loud.

It was especially obvious in the silent night. Sun Xiaotao wrapped her linen clothes tightly around her body, not even daring to close her eyes.

He was afraid that after he fell asleep, the old beggar would drag him away and rape him.

By the time Gao Caijin hears about it, there will be no going back.

"Open the city gate." Sun Xiaotao didn't dare to take a nap until dawn. She sat on the ground with her head leaning against the wall. Suddenly, a voice came to her ear and she woke up.

The city gate was opened and a long line of people formed outside. Most of them were villagers from nearby. They carried bamboo baskets and shouldered poles to sell vegetables in the city.

Some people came with nothing, probably wanting to go to the city to find odd jobs to supplement their family income.

After a sleepless night and with a nauseating stomach, Sun Xiaotao could not wait any longer. She got up from the ground and chose the most honest-looking man among those queuing to go into the city, hoping to seek help.

"Big brother, can you do me a favor? Please." Sun Xiaotao first wiped her face with the back of her hand, then spat into her palm and smeared it on her hair, wanting to make herself look prettier, and then spoke in a pinched voice.

"Oh, okay." The man was a little stunned, but soon nodded.

"I went back to my parents' home, but was robbed. All my silver and jewelry were stolen, and my pass was gone. I finally got back to Chang'an Town, but I couldn't get into the city. My husband must be worried about me. Please go to my house and tell my husband so that he can come out to look for me, okay?"

Sun Xiaotao looked at him pitifully.

However, what the man saw was a female beggar with disheveled hair, a dirty face and covered in mud. Her eyes were bloodshot and she looked at him like a wolf that had been hungry for three days and suddenly saw a human. The man swallowed his saliva and silently took two steps back.

But he was kind-hearted, so he nodded and agreed.

Sun Xiaotao was overjoyed. After giving the address, she watched the man go into the city.

With hope, she could no longer sleep and waited outside the city.

The man didn't come out until the sun climbed to the top of the tree.

"How is it? Is my husband at home? Has he come?" Sun Xiaotao looked at him with her eyes wide open.

The address she gave the man was Gao’s mansion, not the small house where she lived.

Naturally, she wouldn't meet Xiaolan, and she wasn't afraid of Xiaolan's gossip. She was sure that Gao Caijin would come to pick her up.

"Well, at home, but..." The man looked at Sun Xiaotao with an unclear look.

He pursed his lips, and the words coming out of his mouth were hard to pronounce.

"But what?" Sun Xiaotao opened her mouth, her face full of anxiety.

"But he told you to get as far away from him as possible, and said that you, a concubine, were unworthy of calling him husband. You were just a dog he kept, and he was tired of playing with you, so you could get out. In addition, he told me to tell you that if you pester him again, he would have his servants throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves.

The old man also said, you should leave the same way you came, and don’t even think about taking away anything he gave you…” The man repeated Gao Caijin’s words to Sun Xiaotao word for word.

The latter was dumbfounded.

"I've got your message. I'm going home." The man curled his lips with a hint of disgust in his eyes. He left quickly after saying this, fearing that Sun Xiaotao would pester him.

He also swore silently in his heart that he would never help others again. The story about him encountering robbers on the way back to his mother's house was all fake. It turned out to be a crazy mistress...

Tsk tsk, this kind of woman deserves to end up like this.

"How could that be..." Sun Xiaotao staggered back two steps. She looked towards the city gate in disbelief, trying to find that familiar face in the crowd. Unfortunately, she was destined to be disappointed.

It was not until dark that Sun Xiaotao accepted the reality.

Gao Caijin really doesn't want her anymore.

The old beggar from last night was staring at her hungrily.

Sun Xiaotao was so scared that she ran away.

Her only option now is to return to her parents' home.

I ran and ran until the sky turned completely dark and the moon appeared.

Guided by the moonlight, she continued on her way.

When she was really sleepy at night, she would hide in the bushes and take a nap. When she was hungry, she would eat raw wild vegetables. When she was thirsty, she would lie down by the stream, scoop up water with her hands and drink until she was full.

Living like a savage.

She was lucky enough not to run into any bad guys or even any wild animals or poisonous snakes.

She walked and ran like this, and on the third day, she returned to Lianshan Town.

The familiar road made her feel more at ease.

There were still two hours' journey to Sunjia Village, but Sun Xiaotao was limping as she walked. The soles of her straw sandals were worn out.

The blood seeped out and the original color of the white socks could no longer be seen.

On the road, Sun Xiaotao met an oxcart from a neighboring village and wanted to take a ride, but the riders thought she was a beggar and ignored her.

It was not until the sun set that she finally returned to Sunjia Village.

Tears welled up in my eyes at this moment.

"Wuwuwu, Mom, I'm finally back." The door of the Sun family was not closed. Sun Xiaotao came to her own yard, hugged her mother who was washing vegetables, and cried bitterly.

"Ahhh, help, son, a beggar has broken in." However, her face and body were too dirty, and Wang didn't recognize her.

I thought it was a crazy female beggar who broke in to steal things, and she was so scared that she screamed.

"Get out now, or I'll beat you to death." Wang had three sons, all of whom were at home. Hearing her cry, the three rushed out together.

The second son of the Sun family, Sun Wangchi, picked up a firewood stick and hit Sun Xiaotao on the back.

Sun Xiaotao "danced" on the spot in pain.

"It's me, mother. I'm Xiaotao. Don't hit me." Fearing that she would be beaten again, Sun Xiaotao ignored the pain and hurried to explain.

"Xiaotao? You..." How could Wang not recognize her daughter's voice?

She raised her right hand to stop her second son who was about to take action.

Looking at the daughter in front of him with confusion.

"Mother, I was harmed by that mean girl Xiaolan. She climbed into the old man's bed and got pregnant. She even colluded with the newly bought maid to harm me, saying that I gave her a drug to cause her to conceive. How dare I do that? Even if I did, I would not let the maid Cai'er see it. Besides, I haven't even got the drug I bought to cause her to conceive."

Sun Xiaotao cried miserably.

She cursed viciously, gritting her teeth.

I wish I could just skin Xiaolan and Cai'er alive to vent my hatred.

"What? Xiaolan actually climbed into the bed? You bastard, how can you not even handle a maid? What did your mother teach you? Come to think of it, you were not pregnant, so Mr. Gao naturally didn't want to spoil you. Xiaolan is pretty, and I told you at the beginning to find a reason to sell Xiaolan off, but you refused to listen to me. Now you see what's going on."

Wang looked at her with an expression of disappointment.

Shaking head.
