Chapter 99 Wujia Village
A group of people rode in a carriage, left the city, and slowly moved along the winding country road.
Inside the carriage, Liang Ti's mood fluctuated with the bumps of the carriage, but the laughter and joy that accompanied her were like the warm spring sun, gradually dispelling the haze in her heart.
She turned her head to look at the elegant lady beside her - Lan Xiyue, and her heart was filled with indescribable gratitude.
"Miss, you have a kind heart like a bodhisattva. My heart feels as warm as if I had drunk hot soup in winter." Liang Ti said softly, her eyes slightly red, with tears of emotion and expectation.
Lan Xiyue smiled when she heard that, "Nurse, we are a family, why should we thank you? If Xiaoshu is willing, we will take her away so that you can be with her. If Xiaoshu is willing to live with her husband's family, we will check her health and give her some banknotes so that she can live a better life." Anyway, she has no shortage of money in her space.
"Miss, even if I work like a slave, it would be hard for me to repay your kindness..."
An hour later, the carriage finally stopped at the entrance of Wujia Village, next to Zouma Village.
The moment she got off the carriage, Liang Ti's eyes flashed with excitement and trepidation. She pointed to the large locust tree not far ahead and said in a trembling voice, "Miss, my daughter Shu will marry into the Wu family at the head of this village."
Because there was a small road ahead and the carriage could not pass, it had to stop on the main road. They walked along the narrow path along the ridge of the field towards the village entrance.
Along the way, villagers were either farming or weaving. When they saw this group of people in well-dressed clothes, they stopped what they were doing and cast curious glances at them.
As soon as I arrived at the village entrance, I heard a loud noise, mixed with women's crying and cursing.
Liang Ti's pace quickened involuntarily, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.
Sure enough, when she walked through the crowd, what came into her sight was a chilling scene: a ragged woman slumped on the ground, her hands tightly grasping the corner of an old woman's clothes, tears streaming down her face, crying and shouting, unwilling to leave.
"Mother-in-law, don't chase me away..." The woman screamed at the top of her lungs, and every word seemed to be torn out from the bottom of her heart.
The old woman was none other than the Wu family's. She stood with her hands on her hips, her face thick with flesh, and hurled curses at her: "You're a hen that doesn't lay eggs, why are you still staying in our Wu family? Take this divorce letter and get out of here! Don't dirty our land!"
"Mother-in-law, no, don't drive me away..." The woman cried even more miserably, and her voice seemed to be able to penetrate the softest part of people's hearts.
"Xiao Shu!" Liang Ti almost rushed over and hugged the woman on the ground into her arms, tears instantly bursting out, "My child, what's wrong with you?"
When Xiao Shu saw her mother, she seemed to have found a support and cried even more unrestrainedly. Those tears were filled with grievance, despair, and helplessness about the future.
“Mother~~~”
Liang Ti gently patted the trembling Wang Xiaoshu in her arms, her eyes full of heartache.
"Don't cry, Xiaoshu. We won't stay at the Wu family anymore. Come back with mother. We'll serve the young lady together. Our life will definitely not be worse than this."
However, Wang Xiaoshu just buried his head in her arms, tears falling like beads from a broken string, and he just kept crying.
On the side, the old lady of the Wu family looked back and forth at Lan Xiyue with her shrewd eyes. Seeing that she was dressed gorgeously and had an extraordinary temperament, she couldn't help but make some plans in her mind.
She put on a fake smile and walked forward: "My dear, who are you?"
Lan Xiyue's eyes were like torches, and her face was expressionless. "You are not worthy of knowing who I am."
Her words were cold and direct, making the old woman of the Wu family's face turn ugly in an instant.
The old woman suppressed her displeasure and turned her gaze to Wang Xiaoshu again, with a threatening and provocative tone in her voice: "Xiaoshu, if you want my son not to divorce you, it's not impossible.
"Only fifty taels, no, one hundred taels! I will ask my son not to divorce you, and you will continue to be our Wu family's daughter-in-law. But Lili is now our Wu family's treasure, she is pregnant, you have to take good care of her."
Lan Xiyue frowned, "Who is Lili?"
Speaking of Lili, the old woman showed a smug smile on her face, her arrogance and pride were beyond words.
"Lili is my son's new wife. She's already three months pregnant. This baby will definitely give us a big fat boy. Oh, haha~ I'm so happy just thinking about it."
Lan Xiyue sneered, and there was a hint of disdain and coldness in her laughter.
"You're dreaming. Not only do you want a hundred taels, but you also want Xiao Shu to take care of the pregnant San? You really have a good plan."
The old woman didn't seem to take Lan Xiyue's ridicule to heart, but became even more arrogant.
"Humph! My Wu family has already done their utmost by not divorcing her. Otherwise, how would she survive if she was divorced when she can't even lay eggs?"
Lan Xiyue's eyes were as cold as a icy pond as she stood silently. Was this the fate of women in ancient times? Once enslaved by marriage, one could only endure it silently, and even if their hearts were broken, it would be difficult to find relief?
Her thoughts drifted far away, thinking of modern women who, even after divorce, could still bravely pursue new happiness. How pitiful were the women of ancient times. Pah! With her around, she could help Xiao Shu live a good life again.
System: "Master, it seems you weren't as kind-hearted as you used to be!"
"Oh my god, system, can't I just be a good person for once?"
System: "Yes, this system does not have any good person awards for the host."
Lan Xiyue rolled her eyes. "Damn it, who cares about the Good Person Award? I'm just helping the wet nurse out because she was kind to the original owner. It's like I'm helping people for a purpose."
The system is the system, a cold and ruthless machine. Lan Xiyue silently complained about the last sentence in her heart.
Lan Xiyue's gaze fell on Xiao Shu beside her. She asked softly, "Xiao Shu, are you willing to go back with me?"
Xiao Shu slowly raised his head from Liang Ti's arms and looked at Lan Xiyue with tears in his eyes, with a barely perceptible light flashing in his eyes.
Liang Ti persuaded her from the side, "Xiao Shu, the young lady is a good person. She doesn't criticize her servants. It's better for you to serve the young lady with your mother than to be looked down upon by others in the Wu family."
Xiao Shu nodded slightly when he heard this, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "I...I am willing to serve you, young lady."
Seeing this, the old lady of the Wu family became furious and rushed forward, trying to snatch the divorce letter from Wang Xiaoshu's hand.
Lan Xiyue was quick-witted and pushed her to the ground.
The old woman sat on the ground, wailing: "Oh, someone is being beaten! Is there any law? You are bullying me to death! Everyone, come and see!"
Lan Xiyue watched all this coldly, without any ripples in her heart.
"What? You wanted to snatch the divorce letter, but now you regret it? It's too late!"
