"The distinction between bad and good people seems simple, but it is not. It cannot be explained in a sentence or two. Little Tree, just remember that we were the first to be unfairly exploited and bullied by them, so what we are doing today is resisting and shouting against injustice."
The child is too young, and he doesn't understand some of the words she says to him, so Su Yun'er can only give the simplest explanations possible.
The little tree hugged the big fat chicken, constantly changing its angle, while pondering its mother's words.
Before he could figure anything out, Xiaoshu felt a warm hand stroking the top of his head. When he looked up, he saw Su Yun'er's smiling and apologetic gaze.
"I know I made you suffer before, but I won't anymore. I will definitely protect you, little trees, grass, and Grandma, and make sure you have a happy life."
Hearing this, Xiaoshu felt a warmth flowing from the large hand above his head into his body, and slowly nodded.
I heard my mother's promise again, but it seemed even more believable than yesterday.
They returned to Daliushu Village. Before they even reached their doorstep, Xiaoshu happily hugged the big, fat chicken and ran a few steps into the yard.
"Grandma, little sister, look what we brought back!"
Su Yun'er called after her, "Slow down!" But soon, Xiao Shu came running back carrying the fat chicken, his face contorted with grief: "Mom, come quick! Grandma has fainted!"
Upon hearing that Old Mrs. Chen had fainted, Su Yun'er rushed into the house.
They saw Xiaocao kneeling on the kang (a heated brick bed), while Old Mrs. Chen, her face pale, had her eyes tightly closed. Half of her body was lying on the kang, with her lower body hanging off the edge. She looked very unwell.
Su Yun'er hurriedly stepped forward to check Old Mrs. Chen's breathing and pulse. Although she didn't understand traditional Chinese medicine, she could feel a faint pulse and weak breathing.
They need to be taken to the hospital immediately.
"Little Grass, when did Grandma faint?" Su Yun'er asked.
"Grandma...Grandma fainted, just now..." Xiaocao was terrified and cried, her words incoherent.
However, Su Yun'er still deduced from this that Old Lady Chen had not been unconscious for long.
That hasn't been too long.
The original owner went to the Su family to borrow money yesterday, actually to pay for Old Lady Chen's medical treatment.
Su Yun'er dared not delay any longer. She turned around, picked up Old Lady Chen, found a piece of cloth, and secured Old Lady Chen to her body in a few quick movements. Then she instructed Xiao Shu, "Take your sister to Aunt Song's house."
After saying that, he carried Old Lady Chen on his back and headed towards Yongning County.
Aunt Song is also from Daliushu Village. Her husband has just passed away, and both of her sons are married.
Aunt Song was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She used to feel sorry for the original owner of this body because she was so young and had to take care of the whole family. She helped the original owner a lot, sometimes giving her food, and sometimes having her son and daughter-in-law help the original owner's family with chopping firewood, fetching water, sewing, and washing. It can be said that the original owner owed Aunt Song's family the greatest favor.
Aunt Song often advised the original owner to treat her children and mother-in-law better, but the original owner would often agree today and then turn her back on her tomorrow.
As time went on, Song Da Niang's heart sank into the original owner's incorrigible nature, and she gradually became unwilling to get involved in the original owner's messy affairs.
Su Yun'er had no choice but to send the twins to Aunt Song's house for the time being. As for the debts of gratitude owed by the original owner, she could only repay them slowly later.
Daliushu Village is neither too far nor too close to Yongning County, and the villagers usually walk to the county town. Su Yun'er knew that it would be best to have a horse-drawn carriage or oxcart at this time, but firstly, oxen and horses were not livestock that every household kept; secondly, even if she knew who had an oxcart or horse-drawn carriage, she didn't know if it would be available at this moment; and thirdly, finding or borrowing a carriage would take time, so it would be better to take the patient and improvise on the road to minimize the time spent.
There was no time to hesitate, and Su Yun'er hurried on her way. Just as she left the village, she saw an oxcart approaching from afar.
