She is now divorced and feels relaxed, but she is still more worried about the uncertainty of her future life.
She doesn't have a penny now, and her parents' small shabby house is not big enough for the three of them to live in. More importantly, if she stays there for a long time, her brother and sister-in-law will also have objections.
It is also unrealistic to live in Zhao Huanyu's house and her sister's house now. Temporary living is okay, but over time, everyone will feel uncomfortable.
No one wants to support three people for no reason, not to mention that in this era, food is very precious.
How should she live in the days to come?
She didn't show it when her sister was around, but as soon as her sister left, she fell into panic about the future.
She is not alone, she also has two daughters, who need to be protected wherever she goes. The suffering she has suffered over the years, she does not want her daughters to suffer again.
Different from Yuan Hong'er's anxiety, everyone in the main room was chatting happily at this time.
The first step was to arrange the marriage between Zhao Huanyu and Ji Mingxuan. Today was too late, so the engagement banquet was scheduled for tomorrow.
Anyway, the Zhao family has no relatives in Changshui Village, and there are not many family members who usually move around well. When the time comes, everyone will be invited to have a meal together and bear witness. This will be considered the engagement.
In fact, everyone was still a little confused about Ji Mingxuan's sudden departure. They wanted to ask, but they felt that it was not something they should ask, so they all held it back knowingly.
After chatting for a while, everyone went to wash their hands again and started making the pastes and bottling them. There were only a few days left before the opening, so we had to make the products quickly.
With this in mind, Zhao Huanyu went to the next door and called Aunt Zhang's family over, and everyone started working together.
Zhaodi and Pandi were warming themselves by the fire in another room with their mother, but Yuan asked them to come and work together.
The two little sisters were quite anxious at first. After all, they were living in someone else's house and they always felt guilty if they couldn't help with anything. But now that their aunt called them over to help, they instantly felt that they had hope for life again.
They entered the main room cautiously, and saw that the noble gentleman just now had rolled up his sleeves to help make something. They were originally very afraid, but suddenly they felt less afraid.
"Zhao Di Pandi, you can just sit by the brazier and stir the paste."
Zhao Huanyu saw them entering and took the initiative to arrange work for them.
The two nodded obediently, sat down and started doing what Yuan taught them.
I thought it would be a difficult task, but I found out that it was just a matter of stirring the fragrant paste inside with a wooden stick in a clean basin, so that the added ingredients could be well blended together.
There were so many people here, and Zhao Huanyu was too embarrassed to talk to Ji Mingxuan, let alone ask what happened, so she was very serious about her work.
Seeing the two little sisters secretly scratching the frostbite on their hands after working for a while, Zhao Huanyu frowned and suddenly said: "Zhao Di Pandi, you two come out with me."
The two sisters were stunned, thinking that they had done something wrong and were disliked by Zhao Huanyu.
With his head lowered, he followed Zhao Huanyu out of the door and followed her all the way back to her room.
"Sister Xiaoyu, I'm sorry."
Zhao Huanyu was rummaging through boxes and cabinets when he suddenly heard Zhao Di speak.
"Well, what's wrong?"
She turned her head to look at the two sisters, wondering where her apology came from.
"Did we do something wrong?"
Zhao Di said something again, and Zhao Huanyu finally reacted and said with a smile: "No, no, you are overthinking. I just saw that you have a lot of chilblains on your hands, and they must be uncomfortable, so I brought you here to apply some ointment."
This frostbite ointment was specially made when she saw that the grass roots were growing. After the frostbite on the grass roots was cured, she put it away, and it was just for the two sisters to use at this time.
With that said, she found the frostbite ointment and asked the two sisters to stretch out their hands, and she applied it to them with her own hands.
It feels icy and cool when applied on it. My hands, which were originally itchy and hot due to the attack of chilblains, instantly feel much better.
"Sister Xiaoyu, you are so awesome, thank you!"
The two sisters looked at Zhao Huanyu with tears of gratitude. Zhao Huanyu saw joy and hope in their eyes.
Yes, it is hope. Maybe in their eyes, Zhao Huanyu is their hope.
It was Zhao Huanyu who rescued them from that place and brought them warmth. Before meeting Zhao Huanyu, they could not imagine that there were girls who could live so wantonly.
Even if the two cousins did nothing at home before, they would still be restrained by the adults in the family, and their grandma's curses were always unpleasant, and the two cousins were not immune.
But since they arrived at the Zhao family last night, everyone they saw was smiling. The grandma of the Zhao family would never hit or scold anyone, nor would she dislike them just because they were girls. She even thought they were
I had a hard time before, and I kept putting meat in their bowls when eating.
From last night to now, they have eaten two meals at Zhao's house, and they have eaten more meat than they did at their own parents' house.
It would be great if the grandma of the Zhao family was their biological grandma, so they wouldn't have to live so hard.
"I told you not to be so polite. I see that your mother also has a few chilblains on her hands. You can take them and apply them on her. Once they are done, come back to the main room to work."
Zhao Huanyu smiled and rubbed their heads, took them out of the room, and went to the main room to do things while the sisters went to find their mother.
After a busy day, I finally had some free time after dinner. After everyone went to bed, Zhao Huanyu secretly took Ji Mingxuan to the roof... to blow in the wind.
At this moment, if it were summer, I would definitely be able to see the beautiful starry sky, but this is early spring, and it is still snowing, so it is indeed a bit cold.
Normally, the two of them would have hidden in the room and talked, but tonight Zhao Huanyu suddenly felt like drinking, so she took a small can of wine and went up to the roof to drink slowly.
Ji Mingxuan watched her the whole time, worried that her petite body might be blown away by a gust of wind.
Zhao Huanyu took a sip of wine and sighed happily: "In this cold day, drinking some wine will be really warm!"
Ji Mingxuan hugged her into his cloak and sat down, took her wine bottle and took a sip.
"This is good, not too strong, and leaves a nice fragrance on the lips and teeth."
Ji Mingxuan looked at Zhao Huanyu with some surprise, wondering where she got the good stuff.
Zhao Huanyu smiled like a chicken: "Hey, this is my treasure."
In fact, it's not really a treasure. She took it out from the space, so she could only find this excuse to get over it.
"If you like it, I'll bring some for you when you go back."
Ji Mingxuan readily agreed: "Okay."
"Then tell me now, what happened to you for leaving in such a hurry all of a sudden? Do you need my help?"
