Chapter 57 I Thought You Were Possessed
Su Nuan, however, greeted the old lady enthusiastically, "Grandma, come here quickly. How did you change your mind about mother?"
The old lady sat down next to them, and even she, who was a germaphobe, started sitting on the floor.
Xue covered her face in embarrassment, opened her fingers a little, and secretly looked at the old lady. She didn't seem angry.
The old lady laughed and said, "Nuan girl, you don't know. At that time, I was very anxious when I saw her so weak that she could fall down. How could she give birth to a child?"
"I just wanted her to exercise to strengthen her body so that the birthing process would be easier."
Su Nuan nodded, "Well, you two misunderstood each other."
The old lady nodded and said, "Yes, this is my first time being a mother-in-law. I don't know how to get along with my daughter-in-law, so I just want to talk less and make fewer mistakes."
"It turns out your mother is also a bit of a taciturn person. She won't tell me what she needs, so I have to guess a lot of things."
Xue put down her hand and said unconvincedly: "Mom, this is my first time being a daughter-in-law, and I don't know how to get along with my mother-in-law."
Seeing her grievance, the old lady couldn't help but laugh and said, "Come on, let's not say anything about each other. If only one of us had spoken up, you and I wouldn't have suffered for three months."
Su Nuan blinked her eyes. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law need to make their thoughts clear to each other when getting along. If they don’t, it will cause misunderstandings and they may gradually become enemies.
Xue smiled awkwardly, "That's right, I've been hungry for three months, and you forced me to walk every day. I'm almost starving to death."
The old lady nodded and smiled, "That's right, but why don't you eat more? There are snacks and other things in the mansion. You can't starve yourself."
Xue was startled, looked at the old lady and asked, "Didn't my mother-in-law say on the day of my wedding that the family wasn't well off and that we should be frugal?"
The old lady held her forehead and said, "The mansion is not rich, but it doesn't mean you can't eat. Besides, I learned this from others. I don't know what to say."
Xue was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Then why did you keep sighing during the first meal?"
The old lady glanced sideways, "Isn't that because of you?"
Xue quickly asked, "Because I eat a lot?"
The old lady frowned. "Why do you think so? Do you still remember what you looked like when you ate that time?"
Xue shook her head and said she didn't remember.
The old lady sighed. "You just picked up a few grains of rice with your chopsticks and put them into your mouth. How can I not sigh? Who eats like embroidering?"
Xue was dumbfounded. After a moment of recollection, she stammered, "My mother said that a good girl shouldn't eat with big mouthfuls. She should be polite."
The old lady glared at him and said, "You call that polite? It makes me anxious."
Xue scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed. "I thought you disliked me for eating too much, so I didn't dare to eat more."
The old lady held her forehead and said, "Now that I think about it, it's really my fault. I should have asked you."
Su Nuan became anxious after hearing this. "It's a good thing that your misunderstanding has been resolved, but I want to know when Mom can have a full meal."
Xue's face flushed. "The other day your grandmother asked me if I was pregnant, and I got furious. Not only did she starve me every day, but she also wanted to continue the family line. She was trying to kill me."
"Although I didn't say anything that day, I finished two bowls of rice and half of the dishes while we were eating. Your grandma was so shocked by the sight."
Su Nuan chuckled, thinking that the scene must be very interesting.
The old lady also laughed, "Yes, I was really scared that day. I thought you were possessed by a ghost and even asked a Taoist priest to come and see you."
Xue smiled and said, "Fortunately, he's not some charlatan. He knows a bit about medicine. After checking my pulse, he said I was really hungry, so I ate so much."
The old lady nodded. "Well, that's when I realized you had a big appetite. Didn't you get hungry later?"
Xue was a little embarrassed, "Well, I should have said it earlier."
The old lady looked at Su Nuan and said, "Girl Nuan, if you have any problem, just tell your mother directly. Don't follow our example. I was doing this for her own good, but this wasn't what she needed, and that's why there was a misunderstanding."
Su Nuan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I will tell you. Actually, I won't treat myself badly, and I don't need anything for your own good. After all, I'm an adult now, and I know what I'm doing and what I need."
Xue had no doubt about this. "Well, if I had a fraction of your courage back then, I wouldn't have suffered for three months."
The three women were chatting happily here.
Ling Yun was playing with Tuantuan on the side of the carriage. The more he listened, the more he felt that Su Nuan was not pretentious and was a very different woman.
Ling Cang in the carriage sighed. He knew his physical condition. When those people broke his legs, he was completely disabled. Even if he lived in the future, he would not be able to carry on the family line.
Being like this will definitely hinder Su Nuan's happiness, but after Su Nuan finds happiness, will I be willing to let go?
He frowned and closed his eyes, not daring to think further.
That night everyone fell asleep to the sound of insects and had a good sleep.
The next day, Cheng Feng asked everyone to stand in an open space and form a circle around him.
Cheng Feng said loudly: "Listen carefully, everyone! We will soon enter the mountain pass, where bandits often lie in ambush."
When this was said, most people reacted with fear, while a few felt that bandits would not rob an exile group, after all, such a group would not bring much profit.
Cheng Feng continued, "The world is not doing well right now, and robbers are rampant, so don't hold your hopes too high. The robbers will definitely not let any team go."
Someone boldly asked: "You officers and soldiers are not only watching us, but also responsible for protecting us."
"That's right. If too many of us die, you will be punished when you get there."
"Yes, we are not afraid. If there are robbers, we will kill them first."
"They have weapons, and if they don't kill the bandits, they'll just show off their power to us."
Su Nuan raised her eyebrows. These people were probably fools. Not only were they not united, they were also stirring up trouble. The officers and soldiers would definitely not protect them when the time came.
Cui Yi, who was standing next to Su Nuan, said, "Are they stupid? What good is that?"
"These soldiers are human beings too. When they encounter danger, they won't fight for us, they will just run away."
Su Nuan nodded and said in agreement: "That's right, don't worry about those idiots, let's get some sticks and sharpen them to use as weapons."
Cuiyi thought for a moment and said, "I still have those bones from last time. I'll ask Xiaoyun to grind them into arrowhead shapes. Then I'll tie them to a wooden stick and they'll be even sharper."
Speaking of wild boar teeth and wild boar bones, Su Nuan had a new idea.
If it can be completed successfully, your own strength will be greatly improved.
She made up her mind and whispered something in Cuiyi's ear.
Cui Yi's face changed drastically when she heard this, and she looked at Su Nuan with horror in her eyes, "No, this is absolutely not possible."
