After being silent for a long time, Xu Yuan raised her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the corners of her clothes. She was calm and smiled.

"My husband must be hungry, so I'll go buy vegetables now."

After saying that, he turned around and left the wing room, put on the vegetable basket and left.

Looking at her leaving back, Wang Yan wanted to speak but stopped.

Well, during this period, I can just calm down.

Leaving Wuliu Lane, Xu Yuan walked in depressedly.

Although the words of my husband just now hurt her heart word by word, she actually understood that my husband couldn't bear to suffer with her.

But she has survived all the hardships of the past three years. What fear is she for the rest of the suffering?

She and her husband have been childhood sweethearts since childhood and are well-matched, so they made a marriage early. Although her husband was a little playful, he was very fond of her and still maintained the innocence of childhood.

When her parents passed away, she had just turned fifteen, and they formally entrusted themselves to the Wang family. As the saying goes, the married daughter is like water splashed out. After this incident, several brothers and sisters-in-law had no contact.

She still remembered that at that time, her husband took good care of herself and never allowed others to bully her. If there was anything delicious or fun, she would basically think of her at the first time.

It was also since then that she had sworn in her heart that she would never leave her in this life.

However, things in the world were unpredictable. After only half a year of passing, my husband seemed to be fascinated by a ghost. He insisted on going to Laoshan to seek immortality and learn Taoism. At that time, he expected to return in at most two or three months, but who knew that it would take three years to go there.

Before we knew it, the stream ahead blocked the road and the stream was gurgling.

This stream flows from east to west and is a tributary of Cuilu Lake in the county. The stream water is clear and the willow branches on both sides are swaying, and there are not many pedestrians coming and going.

A stone arch bridge in the middle leads directly to the opposite side.

Seeing this stream, Xu Yuan suddenly remembered that her husband likes to eat braised carp the most. It is better to go to Cuilu Lake by himself and buy one or two fresh carp back.

After making up her mind, she immediately walked up the stream and headed straight to the Cuilu Lake.

Speaking of this Cuilu Lake, it is a famous scenic spot in the county. The entire lake covers an area of ​​more than ten miles, with moats in the north and Shangguan Canal in the south. Ordinary merchant ships can go south along this place, and there are several tributaries running through the entire county town.

On the shores around the lake, there are many wine shops and brothels and teahouses, all of which are gathering places for some wandering men to eat, drink, play and have fun.

The west coast wharf of Cuilu Lake is a fish market.

Xu Yuanchun walked for about half an hour with his legs and arrived at the west bank of Cuilu Lake. The pier ahead was far away. There were many fishing boats moored around the lake, and a group of ducks were playing in the middle of the day. It was so happy.

There is no saying that foot binding is taken in this era. The so-called women's feet do not leave their homes, which also refer to girls from wealthy families and ordinary farmers, and are forced by life. Basically, no one will abide by these rules.

Xu Yuan walked along the road, and when he saw him, suddenly, an old woman stood in the area with a crutch facing the lake on the shore not far ahead.

As I looked closer, I saw that the old lady's face was covered with sadness, and her toes were almost hanging in the air, as if she could fall down at any time.

Xu Yuan was shocked and didn't care much about it, so he hurried forward.

"Old lady, don't do stupid things!"

She strode over and supported the old woman.

"What's the matter that can't be readily understood? Tell me, there will always be a way to solve it!"

When the old woman heard this, she turned her head and saw that it was a little girl, who immediately took two steps back with her support.

"Miss, I'm not overwhelmed, I'm just bored, so I just stand here and see the scenery!"

She smiled kindly and said that the other party had misunderstood.

"Oh! So that's how it is! That's why I'm abrupt."

After understanding, Xu Yuan felt a little embarrassed and quickly apologized.

"But the lake is very deep, and there is an undercurrent below. It is too dangerous for the old lady to stand alone on the shore."

He looked at the old woman in front of him with gorgeous hair, looking at her about sixty or seventy years old, but her face was kind and elegant.

He is wearing a plain brocade robe, obviously not an ordinary mother.

"Thank you, little girl!"

The old woman thanked her, and then, with her support, she left the lake shore and came to the road.

"Little girl, look at you, it seems that you have just cried. Do you have any worries? If you don't mind, it's better to tell me, and maybe I can help you solve your problems!"

I noticed that Xu Yuan's eyes were slightly red and there were still slight tears on his cheeks. The old woman's eyes were also unique and she could see it at a glance.

Xu Yuan shook her head and quickly smiled.

"No... it's okay! The wind was a little heavy just now, and dust was in there."

While explaining, he turned his head and wiped the fallen marks.

"That's right! Hahaha, the little girl is carrying a vegetable basket, is she going to buy vegetables?"

The old woman looked like she suddenly realized her mind and laughed twice.

"Yeah! I'm going to buy fish and cook for my husband."

"Oh! It turns out that I'm quarreling with my husband!"

As soon as this said, the old woman followed up, looked at the other party's reaction, and had already guessed seven or eight in her heart.

"Little girl! As the saying goes, couples quarrel at the head of the bed and the end of the bed. The more they quarrel, the more they become, the more they are, there is no smooth sailing in the world. As you said just now, relax your mind and understand each other, and there will always be a solution!"

The old woman comforted her, her tone was extremely gentle.

"It's not true, old lady, don't guess randomly. Where is your home? It's not safe to be alone outside. Why don't I send you home?"

Xu Yuan interrupted the other party and did not continue to pull it off on this topic. She was originally a kind person who persuaded her, but now she has comforted herself?

The old woman sighed lightly, nodded, and said no more.

"My home is in an alley not far ahead. Oh! I'm old and useless. I just stood there for a while, and my legs were numb. It's really timeless!"

The old lady took two steps forward, suddenly stopped, and smiled bitterly.

"That's it! I'm going to go to the pier in front, and there are only a few steps in the horizontal and vertical directions. Let me carry you home!"

Xu Yuan thought for a moment and simply did a good job and immediately squatted in front of the old woman.

She has learned to respect the elderly and love the young since she was a child. Everyone has such a day. Everyone hopes that when they reach that day, someone will be able to help.

"How did this make it?"

Seeing this, the old woman seemed a little embarrassed.

"It's okay! I'm very strong, mother-in-law can come up with peace of mind!"

Under her strong request, the old woman finally had to compromise.

The old woman took the vegetable basket and carried the man with it. It didn't feel very heavy. Xu Yuan took a step and headed towards the direction she pointed.

Not long after, I stopped at the entrance of an alley.

Putting the old woman down, a little girl, seven or eight years old, ran over from the side with two buns in a hurry.

"Mother-in-law, where have you been going? I'm so anxious that my granddaughter is."

The little girl stepped forward to support the old woman, pouted and complained.

"It's okay! I just went out to relax!"

The old woman stroked the little girl's head and responded with a smile.

"What a kind-hearted little girl, I'm going to bother you."

She then thanked Xu Yuan again.
Chapter completed!
