That night.
Zhu Hongan slept soundly. Today was the happiest and most comfortable day of his life. Neither his mother nor he was beaten. They had new clothes to wear and had a full meal at night. Even in his dreams, the corners of his mouth were secretly raised.
Su Liuer had not fallen asleep yet. She had just come into this world this morning and had adapted very well, but she was still somewhat sad. She had not even celebrated her 25th birthday when she died without a complete body. She had died so young. I wonder if the country would give her the title of martyr?
She has no relatives, not even friends. Only her comrades who have been through thick and thin with her feel sad for her, but most of those comrades are no longer alive.
“Is it possible for me to go back?” she asked Mo Hu in her mind.
"Your body was blown to ash."
Yes, it is a blessing in disguise that she has one more life than others. What she needs to do now is to live a good life with her son!
Su Liuer figured it out after a while and closed her eyes to go to sleep when there was suddenly movement from the direction of the window!
The noise was so slight that if Su Liuer hadn't been asleep yet, she might not have noticed it. She was lying on her side with her back to the window, and her hand, which was placed beside the pillow, was quietly holding the embroidery needle hidden under the pillow. Her nerves were tense, but her posture still looked relaxed.
The man climbed in through the window lightly and walked to the bed in a few steps. He looked at the mother and son lying on the bed.
The little one is sleeping soundly, and the big one looks like he is fast asleep too. They seem to be having a pretty good time, right?
Su Liuer was always alert to the movements behind her. The man seemed to put something down beside the bed, sighed softly, and then quietly left the room.
After a moment, Su Liuer stood up after making sure that the man had left.
silver?
What the man just put down beside the bed was a silver ingot weighing ten taels. That was so generous!
One thousand coins could be exchanged for one tael of silver, but this person gave ten taels. When Zhu Daxi died on the battlefield, the army only gave him twenty taels as compensation. This morning, the human trafficker only gave eight hundred coins to buy Zhu Hongan.
Ten taels of silver is a large sum of money.
Su Liuer looked around the bed and didn't see any note. Why did this person come to give her money?
Weighing the silver in her hand, Su Liuer thought of a possibility, perhaps it was related to the previous Su Liuer.
This was before Su Liuer came to Shangyou Village. After being rescued, Su Liuer didn't remember anything. Her name was given to her by Zhu Daxi, and her age was also guessed by Zhu Daxi, otherwise she wouldn't have married herself so blindly.
But Su Liuer no longer had any memory of the past, and there was no way to verify her guess, so she gave up, asked Mo Hu to keep the money, and went to sleep!
-
The roosters in the village were crowing loudly before daybreak. Su Liuer got up quietly so as not to wake up Zhu Hongan. When she went out, she saw Mrs. Wang carrying a bucket of water and preparing to water the vegetable garden.
When it’s hot, water the vegetables in the morning and evening to prevent them from being killed by the sun.
"Mother-in-law, let me help you." Su Liuer rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward. Mrs. Wang handed the work to her without any pretense.
But Mrs. Wang was not idle either. She went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
The villagers go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. Su Liuer was watering the plants seriously when she heard someone standing outside the fence gossiping about her.
"It's really strange. How could someone who treats everyone so coldly bring this young widow home and keep her as a caretaker? Some people are so shameless that they actually let her stay! Look at the clothes she's wearing. They clearly belong to Wang Po. They're barely patched, yet they're willing to let her wear them."
"This old woman Wang must have been fooled by her because of her age! Didn't you hear what the Zhu family said? She's a scheming woman. Otherwise, how could she divide the family property in just a few words?"
"I think so too. What are you doing?!" A bucket of cold water was poured over his head, and it hurt when it hit his face!
The next second, another one screamed in surprise and was in trouble. Su Liuer moved too quickly and the two gossips had no time to dodge.
"Why should I splash you? Don't you know what's going on? Do you want me to hit you again if you don't leave?"
