Knowing that the mother and son had something to say, Su Man said tactfully, "You guys eat, I'll go back to the house first."
"Hey, hey, hey, take a good rest. Mom will make you something delicious tomorrow."
Zhao Chunhua thought Su Man had really figured it out, and she was so happy that her face was full of smiles.
After Su Man went in, Zhao Chunhua's expression suddenly relaxed. She pulled Li Xiang outside and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect this girl to be so infatuated with you. Now Mom can finally rest assured."
“…”
"Second brother? What's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking?"
"ah?"
Li Xiang responded subconsciously, then said slowly, "Oh, Mom, don't worry."
"Okay, I'll go call the boss back. You should go to bed early today because you have to go back to the city tomorrow."
Zhao Chunhua went out happily, leaving Li Xiang alone outside, deep in thought.
Su Man was lying at the door and heard no more noise outside. She lay back on the kang with a sneer on her lips.
Sure enough, the person called Xiaofeng was the one Zhao Chunhua asked to test her.
When Xiaofeng came to see her today, she felt a little strange.
However, Xiaofeng's appearance and the conversation she had with her in English made her unsure and she was doubtful.
What really made her start to be wary of Xiaofeng was when she asked Xiaofeng if she wanted to take the child with her.
Although Xiaofeng appeared sad, she was still a little too calm for a mother who was about to be separated from her child.
But this is not absolute. After all, if she was really abducted as she said, it is not impossible that she hated her in-laws and the man who restricted her freedom, and even lost her feelings for her children.
So Su Man followed Xiao Feng's plan and accepted the pencil sharpener that she got from somewhere.
However, it was Li Xiang's actions that made Su Man finally determine that this was a scam.
That's right, she was awake when Li Xiang came in, and she also clearly saw the door that Li Xiang inadvertently opened.
Although it can be explained that he was unable to forget his old love for her and was upset and forgot to close the door, one thing is for sure: this was not the first time he had deceived a girl from his hometown.
From his previous conversation with Zhao Chunhua, she had learned that Li Xiang had already found a "daughter-in-law" for his third uncle, so his second uncle also wanted to do the same.
This wasn't the first time, so even if he was moved, he wouldn't have made such a big mistake.
Then, there is only one truth.
All of this, from Xiao Feng encouraging her to escape to Li Xiang inadvertently opening the door, was a test to see if she was really like she said, that she would not run away.
So Su Man didn't leave, but it would be too fake to pretend that she didn't notice the door was open.
She simply used this time to go to the kitchen to cook porridge in order to dispel Zhao Chunhua's vigilance towards her.
Judging from Zhao Chunhua's reaction, the effect is good.
However, she did not expect that Zhao Chunhua would be completely off guard this time. After all, she was not the only one who came to the village like this.

The next morning, Li Xiang put on the backpack he brought with him.
Only Zhao Chunhua got up to see him off. Li Pozi was drunk five days out of seven and couldn't get up at all. Li Zhuang was angry that he brought back a slut like Su Man and refused to come out even when he got up.
Only Zhao Chunhua got up and made some dumplings for Li Xiang. "Second brother, the road back to the city is long. Take these dumplings and eat them on the way."
"Hey, Mom, you and Dad should take care of yourselves. I'll be back to see you soon."
"Okay, okay. By the way, don't forget about your second uncle."
Li Xiang nodded. "If I find someone suitable, I'll send you a photo."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
"Um."
Before Li Xiang left, he glanced in Su Man's direction and walked away without looking back.
The way back is as long as the way here.
Li Xiang was sitting on the bumpy ox cart, and when he passed by the big tree, he couldn't help but think of Su Man.
Although he couldn't say he was very sincere towards Su Man, everyone has feelings. After all, they had been together for more than a year, and it was impossible for him to have no feelings for her at all.
Li Xiang was depressed for a while, but as he got farther and farther away from his hometown, the nostalgia in his heart gradually disappeared.
When he returned to the city, Su Man had already been buried in his memory despite his deliberate attempt to forget her.
He was sorting out the clothes he brought back. Just as he was unfolding a pair of trousers, there was a "click" and a piece of newspaper fell out.
You can tell at a glance that it was torn from somewhere, the paper has turned yellow.
Why is there a newspaper inside his clothes?
Li Xiang was a little surprised. He picked it up and saw that there were words on it.
It was not written with a carbon pen or an oil pen. It was gray and the handwriting was crooked.
"I hate you, but if this will make you happy, then I'm willing to stay. I'll help you take good care of your family. Have a safe trip.
——Jarman
The spring breeze is blowing gently outside the window, and I don’t know whose heart it is stirring.
[Li Xiang's favorability increased by 10, current favorability is 30]

It was a few days later that Su Man heard the prompt sound. At that time, she was sewing clothes in her room.
The needle pierced the hole in her cuff, and Suman smiled.
Well, it's good to see it. It's worth her spending a long time burning it with a small stick while cooking, and then tracing it stroke by stroke for a long time before she finished it.
The purpose of her doing this was not only to make him think about her, but also to cover up her search of her bag. She wanted to look for the cell phone and ID card she brought with her when she came.
With this excuse, she would have something to say even if she was caught.
