79. Chapter 79: Bruised and bruised



"Well, Fourth Brother's wife, don't worry. That girl is definitely a good one. I've met her too. I can assure you." Liu's heart was at ease when she heard Su Wenyue say that the matter was simple. The matter had been settled, and she had explained it to her sister-in-law. Before she had time to be happy, she couldn't maintain her smile after hearing Su Wenyue's next words. She could only try her best to say good things to the child of her sister-in-law.

"How about this, you ask your sister-in-law from your mother's side to take some time to bring the child over here. I'll take a look first. If it's okay, I'll take her to the Su family and beg my mother to see if she can accept her." Although Su Wenyue had already decided to help, after all, the child was quite pitiful, but she still had to see the person first. If the bad-tempered wolf was pitiful, she would not sympathize with him.

"Okay, then. I'll talk to my sister-in-law and ask her to bring the person over for you to see." Although Liu did not achieve her desired goal, since Su Wenyue agreed to meet the person, half of the matter was done. The conditions proposed by Su Wenyue were also reasonable. Liu nodded repeatedly and agreed.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'll go and get busy. Send a message back and I'll ask my sister-in-law to bring the child over. When the time comes, you can help look after the child, my fourth daughter-in-law."

Han Yu just wandered around the mountains in the afternoon. The time was short, and he didn't get anything every time he went into the mountains. Although Han Yu was good at martial arts, he only brought back a wild pheasant when he came back in the evening. It was small, just enough to make a bowl of soup, and most of it ended up in the stomachs of Yang Juxiang and her daughter.

Yang Juxiang and her daughter were really rude when it came to eating. They had no sense of being guests, and they didn't even need the host to let them eat. Once the food was on the table, they ate as much as they could, as if they had been hungry for several meals. Although the dinner was quite rich, it couldn't keep up with their big appetites. Except for Yang Juxiang and her daughter, the rest of the Han family didn't eat much, but because they were guests, they couldn't say anything. They were thinking that if they continued to eat like this for a few days, the family would go broke. The Han family could barely make ends meet, so they made a rich meal to entertain Yang Juxiang and her daughter.

Yang felt a little embarrassed when she saw her sister and niece eating like this, but she didn't look disgusted like the others. Instead, she felt a little sorry for her sister's life in the Jiang family.

The Jiang family was so poor that they didn't even have their own land. They relied on renting land from landlords. Every year, they had to pay taxes and rent. The remaining money was not enough for the family to eat, so they could only tighten their belts and diet. The best food Yang Juxiang and her daughter had was when they were at the Han family, but the Han family was too far away, and it was not easy to come there.

Liu felt even more contemptuous. The Jiang family was like this, so why did Jiang Chunlan pretend to be delicate? She acted like a young lady when she came to the Han family and refused to even pick up a fallen broom. Her true colors were revealed as soon as she sat at the dinner table. She wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but stopped herself when she saw her mother-in-law's warning look.

Su Wenyue saw all of this. She didn't care about the food, but it would be a waste to give it to people like Yang Juxiang and her daughter. It would be better to feed it to the dogs. Forget it, she did it for her mother-in-law's sake.

Because of Yang Juxiang and her daughter, the Han family's originally sumptuous dinner was not very pleasant. However, it was not known whether the mother and daughter were careless or did it on purpose, they were not affected at all and ate with relish.

After dinner, Yang called Liu and Su Wenyue again, looking a little unhappy. Su Wenyue thought that she had not offended her mother-in-law, and wondered why her mother-in-law was like this.

"Mom, why did you stop us?" Su Wenyue had done nothing wrong and was not afraid. Although she didn't know what was wrong with her mother-in-law, she just asked.

Yang didn't answer Su Wenyue's words, but looked at Liu: "Eldest wife, I heard that you went to the fourth wife about your eldest sister-in-law's matter. Is that true?"

Yang's tone was obviously unhappy. Liu knew that her mother-in-law was unhappy, so she had to explain carefully: "Mom, it's true. He is my eldest sister-in-law's nephew. He couldn't live with the abuse of his stepmother, so he had to come to me and ask me to ask the fourth daughter-in-law to see if he can go to the Su family as a servant to give the child a chance to live."

"Originally, it's not easy for me, as a mother-in-law, to intervene in matters between you sisters-in-law. However, the fourth daughter-in-law has only been married for a short time. She is young and kind. There are some things she cannot say, but I, as a mother-in-law, will say a few more words. You should think carefully before doing things in the future. Don't go to the fourth daughter-in-law for everything just because she is easy to talk to. These are distant relatives, not even your own family, and this is the matter of your eldest sister-in-law's family. You have the nerve to embarrass the fourth daughter-in-law for this matter. If the in-laws know about it, they will think our Han family is some kind of family!"

When Su Wenyue heard that Yang was asking for this matter, and that her mother-in-law was clearly on her side, speaking for her and trying to protect her, she felt a little warmer in her heart.

"Yes, mother, I know. I won't do it again in the future. But I have to trouble my fourth brother's wife for this matter." Liu also knew that she was in the wrong. If it weren't for the fact that Su Wenyue was the daughter-in-law of the Han family, she might not help her, so she answered with a good attitude.

Perhaps Liu's family was really anxious, for Liu did not send the letter until the next morning, and her sister-in-law brought the child over in the afternoon.

Su Wenyue had clearly heard that the child was eleven years old, but when she actually saw her, she didn't look like an eleven-year-old girl at all. She was skinny and didn't even look as tall as a seven or eight-year-old child. Her clothes were as tattered as those of a beggar on the street, and her body was covered with bruises. Even Su Wenyue, who felt that her heart had become hardened after experiencing two lifetimes, couldn't help but be moved when she saw this child. It would take a cruel stepmother to abuse a child like this. Then think about the child she abandoned, and don't know if he was abused by her stepmother.

"Is this the child you mentioned? How did he get beaten like this?" Su Wenyue felt a little pain when she saw the wounds on the child. Yang was originally unhappy because Liu was intervening in this matter, but when she saw the child, she didn't say anything more. The child was really pitiful, and she even took out some candies and gave them to the child.

"It's because of the evil stepmother. My eldest brother has to go to the county town to do odd jobs to support the family. He can't protect the child when he's not at home. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought the child here. The child was almost beaten to death by the stepmother. I couldn't just watch her get hurt by the stepmother, so I asked Miss Su for help. I hope Miss Su won't mind." Liu's sister-in-law said helplessly, full of resentment. She was angry at that cruel woman.
