Chapter 100 Returning to the Countryside



The closer you get to Sujiazhuang, the more difficult the journey becomes.

It's strange, the two children aren't carsick at all, but Su Jingjing is a little carsick and has been resting with her eyes closed.

"Mommy, Mommy, are you still feeling unwell?"

The two little ones behind her looked worried and kept fanning their mother with their hands.

Li Cheng'an knew it wouldn't work, but he still did the same thing as his sister.

His mother's face was pale, and he felt uneasy.

Su Jingjing wasn't too dizzy yet. She forced a smile and said to Yuanyuan, "Baby, it's okay. Sit down with your brother."

"Mom, I will take good care of my little sister."

It means you don't need to worry about the two of us.

Su Jingjing smiled even more beautifully; her little prince was quite adorable.

Li Hanting was worried, so he parked the car on the side of the road, unbuckled his seatbelt, moved closer to his wife, and placed his hand on her forehead. "Wife, come and have some water."

He carried his wife directly to the passenger seat halfway there.

After drinking a few sips of water, Su Jingjing gradually calmed down. She looked around and said to the man, "A-Ting, I'm fine. We'll be there in a little while."

Seeing his wife's complexion gradually return to normal, Li Hanting restarted the car.

Five minutes later, they entered Sujiazhuang. The Su family lived in the middle of the village, and they still needed to drive further in. But even this short distance had attracted a group of children who were chasing after them.

In the village, if a family owns a bicycle, they are considered wealthy; as for cars, that's an unattainable goal.

It's the weekend, so the older kids in the family went to the fields with their parents, while the younger kids played with the cats and dogs in the village.

We didn't see any adults along the way; they must all be busy in the fields.

Following my memory, I finally arrived home. There was a small wooden door outside, which was not intimidating at all. The outer wall was also very low. If you stood on tiptoe, you could see everything inside clearly. Just as described in the book, it was destitute.

She really envied the original owner of the body. Even though the family was so poor, the original owner lived like a princess and was pampered.

Su Jingjing got out of the car and breathed in the fresh air, feeling much more comfortable.

A row of timid children stood before me, their clothes dirty and messy, their hair like steamed buns, some of them barefoot, with mud on their toes.

Su Jingjing couldn't bear it, so she took out a handful of milk candies from her bag and walked towards them.

The children backed away, their eyes fixed longingly on the candy in her hand.

"Want some? These are all for you, two for each of you."

Su Jingjing seemed to hear them swallowing.

But they still dared not make any sudden moves.

One of the slightly older boys, forcing a smile, asked, "Is this really for us?"

Who doesn't love milk candy? It's fragrant and sweet.

But the woman in front of me is wicked; she used to snatch food from children all the time.

He couldn't believe it; they might be laughing at them.

"Really, take it and distribute it."

All the children were looking at the little boy, some secretly tugging at his sleeve, seemingly asking him to make the decision.

The temptation of the milk candy was too great; he really wanted it.

Without thinking twice, he took the candy from her hand and quickly distributed it to his friends.

As soon as everyone got their hands on the milk candy, they immediately hid it.

The little boy seemed a bit embarrassed and said awkwardly, "Well, no one's home. I'll go to the field to call someone for you."

After saying that, he took off running, followed by a group of children running after him.

From a distance, a group of children running in the countryside is quite a beautiful sight.

Su Jingjing smiled; she had lost so much weight, yet she still recognized her.

"Mom, those brothers are so pitiful."

This was the first time Li Yuanyuan had ever seen children from the countryside, and the impact was enormous.

“Honey, life may be a little tough for the children in the countryside, but they’re not bad. Don’t distance yourself from them because of that.”

"Also, our lives are better than theirs, but we can't be arrogant, you know?"

Li Yuanyuan nodded understandingly, "Mom, I understand."

Compared to those young men, she is truly blessed.

Then she turned to face her son and asked, "An'an, do you understand what Mommy is saying?"

"Mom, I understand."

Su Jingjing couldn't help but remind him again, "You're such a good baby. By the way, when you see your grandparents and uncles and aunts later, be sure to greet them politely."

"Mmm-hmm." The two little ones nodded vigorously.

Li Hanting stood silently to the side, watching his wife teach the two children.

Who said his wife couldn't teach the kids? Look, she's better than anyone else.

That's right, this wonderful treasure is his.

No one can take it away from you.

At this moment, the small wooden door slowly opened, revealing a slender woman whose belly appeared to be showing upon closer inspection.

Could this be my sister-in-law, Dong Qin?

Dong Qin looked up in surprise, "Brother-in-law."

"Yes, sister-in-law." Li Hanting nodded.

She still remembered Li Hanting; after all, he had worked in Sujiazhuang for a period of time back then.

However, why is he with a strange woman and appearing at the door of the house? Where is his sister-in-law?

In just a few seconds, she had already conjured up an unbelievable truth in her mind.

Is she here to show off with her new lover? Is she planning to confront her in-laws?

What about the sister-in-law?

Although she didn't like Su Jingjing, her mother-in-law had said that it was all thanks to her sister-in-law's advice that her life had become a little easier, meaning that her sister-in-law was her benefactor.

Su Jingjing straightened up, walked up to her sister-in-law, and greeted her gracefully, "Sister-in-law, are you home alone? Are Mom, Dad, and my brother busy in the fields?"

The voice was clearly that of her sister-in-law.

How come she has changed so much?

Not only did she lose weight, but she also became fair-skinned and rosy-cheeked, looking much prettier.

Dong Qin's lips trembled as she asked incredulously, "You, you are Jingjing?"

Su Jingjing understood her sister-in-law's reaction and continued with a smile, "Yes, sister-in-law, I am Jingjing. I've been on a diet recently, which is why I've lost weight."

"you…"

She wanted to continue asking, but was interrupted by her mother's voice behind her.

"Oh, my darling baby is back! Let Mommy have a good look at you."

Su's mother threw the hoe in her hand to her son and hugged her little darling tightly.

"I miss Mom so much. I thought you would come back in two weeks."

A group of children just told her that her daughter was back, and she still couldn't quite believe it.

Because she had been looking forward to it for two weeks.

Su Jingjing nestled in her mother's arms. "Mom, I had something to do the past two weeks, so it was delayed until this week."

"It's alright, it's good that he's back."

Su's mother didn't care; as long as her daughter was willing to come home, she was willing to wait no matter how long it took.

Mother Su was in high spirits over the happy occasion. "Let's go inside. Don't be afraid to stand at the door."

"Han Ting, quickly bring the two children inside."
