The room was silent except for the cries of the two children and the wailing of Granny Zhao.
She kept calling him her eldest grandson, saying she had been waiting so long her eyes were practically popping out of their sockets...
Liu and Sister-in-law Yulan showed no sympathy for Granny Zhao, because a large part of the reason for this was that she was unwilling to spend money.
That's why Sun and her unborn child lost their lives.
He Tiantian didn't know what to say at this moment, seeing the two sisters, Zhao Xiaolan and Zhao Xiaolü, crying so sadly.
The anger in her heart gradually turned into resentment towards the Sun family.
A husband who is blindly obedient to his parents, a heartless mother-in-law... How tragic must a woman be to marry into such a family?
Moreover, Sun herself was unaware of the coldness her family showed her.
Although Zhao Xiaolu and Zhao Xiaolan never mentioned their own families again after they went to her house.
But He Tiantian knew very well that no matter how much the two children hated what happened back then, they were still their biological parents.
He Tiantian held Zhao Xiaolü's hand and comforted her, "Xiaolü, it's not your fault. It has nothing to do with you."
At this point, Zhao Xiaolu was no longer listening to such words.
She felt an overwhelming sense of oppression in her heart, as if a huge rock was pressing down on her chest.
The news of this incident involving the Zhao family's Sun family spread throughout the entire village in no time.
Although Sun was not the first woman in the village to die in childbirth.
But everyone knows this time it was because of Granny Zhao's selfishness.
They sold Sun's daughter, but couldn't even spare the twenty-odd taels of silver to save her mother's life.
That's truly malicious and heartless.
Granny Zhao has four sons. Her eldest and second sons finally got married. Her third and fourth sons are getting old, and they had finally found some marriage prospects.
But people heard that the mother-in-law of this family was someone who disregarded her daughter-in-law's life, so who would dare to marry their daughter into their family now?
Zhao Maodan was a man of conscience, and he handled Sun's funeral in a dignified manner.
On the day of Sun's funeral, the blazing sun was covered by large swaths of dark clouds, and a fierce wind arose.
The four men chosen to carry the coffin were young men from the village. The eerie wind blowing against them made them shiver.
This is really strange. The knowledgeable old people in the village have all sorts of opinions.
“Sun is innocent. Even if she is dead, her vengeful spirit will never be dispelled.”
"How can I be at ease? We finally had our son, but he's gone too. Alas, with Madam Sun gone, those children are truly motherless now..."
How difficult life must be for a child without a mother?
Zhao Xiaolan and Zhao Xiaolu stayed at the Zhao family home for the past few days until Sun was laid to rest before they returned to He Tiantian's home.
At the main gate, Zhao Xiaolu held Zhao Xiaolan's hand.
The two were heartbroken for days on end, crying until they had no tears left to shed.
Zhao Xiaolu took a deep breath and said with a determined look, "Xiaolan, we can't keep our long faces now that we're home. Aunt He has been kind to us, we need to pull ourselves together."
As she spoke, Zhao Xiaolu tightened her grip on Zhao Xiaolan's hand again.
After composing herself, Elaine Chao nodded solemnly.
He Tiantian's family has harvested all the sweet potatoes from the field, and they are currently piled up in the yard, but they haven't been put into the cellar yet.
This year has been a drought, and we don't know when the weather will finally cool down.
It's not too late to put them in the cellar when they're cold. Anyway, sweet potatoes can be stored for a long time without spoiling.
Zhao Xiaolu raised her hand and knocked on the door, which opened from the inside shortly afterward.
It was opened by Zhao Wanzi. When she saw Xiao Lan and Xiao Lü, her eyes lit up.
"Sister Xiao Lü, Sister Xiao Lan, you're back."
He Tiantian spoke very seriously about their situation at home. She asked everyone to try their best to take care of Xiao Lü and Xiao Lan's feelings, and to offer them guidance and understanding.
Zhao Xiaolu nodded, "Little Maruko, I'm back to work."
She'd thought it through; she needed to keep herself busy. Only by keeping herself occupied could she stop overthinking.
Zhao Xiaolü and Zhao Xiaolan entered the house, tidied up, and prepared to do laundry and sweep the yard.
However, every time Zhao Wanzi saw them about to start working, she would quickly stop them, saying, "Sister Xiao Lü, this yard has already been swept."
"Sister Xiaolan, all the clothes are washed now."
"Then I'll go feed the rabbits." Zhao Xiaolu went to get some rabbit grass.
Zhao Wanzi tried to stop her again, saying, "I fed the rabbit too."
Zhao Xiaolu and Zhao Xiaolan stood in the courtyard, looking around blankly.
For a moment, I didn't know what else I could do.
"Sister Xiaolü, Sister Xiaolan, you should take a rest. You don't look too well. You can have dinner after you've had a nap," Zhao Wanzi said with concern.
She looked quite sad; Little Green Sister and Little Orchid Sister no longer had their mother, they would never have a mother again.
If she didn't have her mother, she would definitely be very sad.
He Tiantian stayed inside the house, keeping an eye on what was happening in the yard.
She hadn't yet figured out how to comfort the two sisters; perhaps no matter how much she said, it wouldn't be able to resolve their inner conflict.
Only time can slowly heal the wounds in their hearts.
He Tiantian came out of the house and spoke to Zhao Xiaolu and Zhao Xiaolan in a natural manner.
"Xiao Lü and Xiao Lan, you two pick up the sweet potatoes in the yard and pile the big ones and the ones that are evenly shaped together."
Zhao Xiaolu and Zhao Xiaolan responded and quickly grabbed their winnowing baskets to get to work.
