Chapter 3

After walking for several days, the Su family finally arrived at the Yuzhou junction post station.

The family found an open space near the inn to rest.

Because of the shortage of money, the family slept in the open along the way. After many days, they were all covered in dirt. At first glance, they looked like refugees who fled.

Su Dasu Er used local materials to build a stove and cook the pot. Next to the place where they stopped was a dead forest, and the branches that burned fire could be picked up anywhere.

As for what to eat, a handful of soft tapioca flour soaked in snow in advance and a handful of dried vegetables is enough for the whole family to eat.

Liu Yuelan and He Daxiang were not idle either. They started cooking the snow in a new pot. A pot of hot water was released in an instant, and they wiped the old man's face and hands cleaned.

The junction post station was dozens of meters ahead of them. There were horses and carriages parked in front of the post station. There were not many passengers, but they were also lively.

As the end of the New Year is approaching, red lanterns are hung on the post station, and the New Year is full of flavor.

Old Woman Su and the old man were sitting on a big rock next to the wooden car, holding Tianbao in her arms, and three ignorant little kids in front of her knees were joking and making fun.

The old couple looked at the red lantern swaying lightly in the wind, silent.

"Dad and mother are worried about Xiu'er?" He Daxiang said in a sour heart, "In previous years, Xiu'er will come back on the second day of the Chinese New Year. The whole family is neat and lively... If something happens this time, we will leave urgently.

Even Xiu'er didn't meet for the last time, alas."

Liu Yuelan bowed to the earthen stove and responded quietly, "Xiu'er is a married daughter, and she is spared from being implicated. In this situation in our family, it is better not to meet than to meet. She is in a difficult situation with the Chen family."

When they left Dahuai Village, their parents' families came to see them off, but the Chen family, who lived in the next village, did not show up.

This kind of urgent attitude of clearing the relationship makes people feel sad. With such a cold-hearted character in the Chen family, how can Xiu'er be in that family?

Liu Yuelan sighed in her heart, and her parents-in-law were worried about Xiu'er, so she should have seen through this.

Before, there was nothing wrong with the Su family, and Xiu'er still had her parents' support, so the Chen family dared not do too much to her.

Now that the Su family has been exiled, Xiu'er's backstage has collapsed. A weak woman has no choice but to rely on, and it will only be even more difficult in such a family in the future.

Boiling water and cooking stove side by side, Su Dasu Er naturally heard the conversation between the sister-in-law.

"That bastard Chen De, when he came to our house to propose marriage, he pretended to be a good person and said everything! I would have known that he was a coward with soft ears, so he would not even want to step into our house!" Su Er

He swears in a low voice while pinching the firewood jar.

Su Da sucked the firewood from his hand and threw it into the stove, "Okay, shut up, and you still think your parents are not upset enough? Now, the clay Buddha is unable to protect himself when crossing the river, so Xiu'er can at least stay on the shore.

I can only talk about what happened later.”

The two young couples talked very low in volume, and in the biting cold wind in December, it was hard to hear clearly.

Tianbao glanced indifferently towards his parents, moved his ears slightly, and raised his hands to reach his grandma's chin.

The woman who was lost in her mind was pulled back to her senses by the child's little movements, and immediately stuffed her little paws back into the quilt, "Good baby, don't make trouble."

"Ah." Wa'er looked at her with black eyes, opened her mouth and let out a bubble of saliva.

The old woman with a dull face was so funny that she pulled the corner of her mouth.

"Old woman, old woman!" While the old and the young were having fun, Old Man Su suddenly raised his back and his voice was excited, "Did you hear it?"

"What to hear?"

"Xiu'er! Xiu'er is calling for father, mother!"

"Just talking nonsense, here it is hundreds of miles away from Xiu'er-" Old Woman Su looked up inadvertently, and the reprimand came to an abrupt end.

Then, she stood up openly, staring at the opposite side, and her lips kept trembling.

At the end of the official road that extended back to the post station, a figure stumbled towards this side, as if shouting something.

The closer you get, the clearer the sound.

"Dad! Mom!"

Old Man Su also stood up with a crutch, and tears started to flow before he could speak, "It's Xiu'er, it's Xiu'er!"

Su Da and Su Er also heard the call at this time, and they all stood up excitedly and looked over there.

The young woman who broke into sight had a haggard and dusty face and was scattered in hair, and looked worse than them.

The three little kids recognized their aunt, shouted and jumped over, "It's aunt! Aunt is here!"

Tianbao played with a bubble of saliva in the quilt, calm as an old dog.

She heard her voice before her aunt appeared.

Before, her ears were not so powerful, and after she became a baby, Tianbao found that there were many strange places on her body, not only her ears but also her eyes, but also...

Tianbao looked at the sky with innocent eyes, and his little hands gently hooked the fabric in the quilt.

Stabbing- ——

The quilt lining was cracked.

Tianbao let go of his little hand as if nothing had happened.

As long as she doesn't admit it, no one knows that she did this bad thing.

She had done the bad things quietly, and Su Xiuer and her family also hugged each other and cried bitterly.

"Dad, mom, I'll go to the border with you!" Su Xiu'er wiped her tears and raised her lips, "I asked Chen De for divorce, and I will have nothing to do with their family in the future. As long as I can be with my parents, I will be exiled.

I'm happy too!"

Old Woman Su had red eyes and slapped her daughter's back with her hands, "You silly girl, silly girl!"

"Mom, I'm not stupid. The news of an accident at home reached the Chen family at noon that day. Mrs. Chen was afraid of being implicated, so she changed her face at that time and called me a hen who couldn't lay eggs. She hadn't given birth to her for two years without giving birth to her.

Put incense and ask Chen De to give me a break." When Su Xiuer talked about these bad things, she said lightly, "Chen De is a soft-hearted person, hesitant to tell me that as long as I am willing to let him marry his cousin, he will protect me

I had a seat in the Chen family. I didn't agree and asked him for divorce directly. From then on, I had no relationship with him and the Chen family. He wanted to enjoy the blessings of all people, but I didn't want to suffer such humiliation. From now on, my parents will go to the next stage.

I will be wherever I will serve you all my life!”

Su Er said hard, "Well done! The Chen family has a nest of snakes and rats. You can draw a clear line with them and you are out of the sea of ​​suffering! Don't worry, my parents have my elder brother and I serve you, and my second brother will support you! I still don't believe it.

, isn’t it just exile? We can still live a good life!"

Su Da also laughed, "Xiu'er, you're really wrong this time. Don't look at our dirty faces, my life is free and easy as I couldn't find before! The yamen don't like us and are unwilling to endure hardships and escorts.

Let us go to the border area to receive punishment. No one cares. We went down the road like we were traveling around, and we would eat when we wanted to eat, and we would go to rest. We didn’t have to work! Didn’t we expect it?

It's a day for a half-god!"

The Su family, "..."

After a moment, "Hahahaha!"

The family was once again neat and enjoyed the pain. The open-minded mentality finally dispelled the rich haze.

Blasts of laughter in the forest floated in the wind and came to the post station.
