He Gui finally couldn't help but ask the question that he wanted to ask most.

A few days ago, He Erhua returned to Daquan Village. He heard from others that He Erhua came back after breaking off relations with her husband's family, and would stay in her parents' home from now on and would not leave again.

So why did Sanhua come back this time?

He Gui thought about it for most of the night last night. He tossed and turned in bed but couldn't fall asleep.

He couldn't help but wonder whether Sanhua would also leave the Nabu family completely, and like her sister He Erhua, stay in Daquan Village and never leave again.

Although he felt that his idea seemed a little unrealistic, it did seem possible.

But it was this unrealistic fantasy that supported He Gui over the years.

He had been struggling all day about whether to ask or not, and finally asked before the three He brothers were about to go home for dinner.

Faced with the three brothers He Chuanzong, He Gui chose to ask the most honest and simple-minded He Chuanzong.

If He Chuanzong was not here today, he would choose to ask He Chuanjia. If both He Chuanzong and He Chuanjia were not here, he would have to ask He Tianci. The main reason was that he felt that this boy was slick and not as honest as his two brothers.

"Brother Gui, yesterday mother went to the Bu family to visit my third sister, and it happened that my third sister had a miscarriage. Mother begged the wife of the Bu family to release the concubine and take my third sister back."

He Chuanzong told He Gui everything he knew without leaving out any detail.

When He Gui heard that Sanhua had actually returned to her parents' home just as he had thought, he breathed a sigh of relief and was extremely happy. But when he thought about the miscarriage that Sanhua had suffered, his heart ached more than if it were cut by a knife.

"Chuanzong, how is your third sister now? Is she... feeling better?"

He Gui hesitated for a moment, but still asked, although he didn't know in what capacity he cared about her now.

"When my third sister came back yesterday, she looked very bad. Mother brought her some medicine from town, and my wife made the medicine for her every morning and evening. Then my third sister stayed in the house to recuperate, so I didn't see her today..."

As He Chuanzong spoke, he scratched his head embarrassedly, as if he felt guilty that he could not answer the question that He Gui wanted to know most.

The air was quiet with only the sounds of four people's breathing, some steady and some rapid. Suddenly, He Tianci spoke up, breaking the silent atmosphere.

"Brother Agui, don't worry. My mother specially took out the white flour at home to make noodles for my third sister. She will recover soon. You don't have to worry too much."

The second oldest, He Chuanjia, just stood quietly beside his two brothers without saying a word.

After hearing what He Tianci said, He Gui knew that Meng Lan was willing to give Sanhua medicine and white noodles, so he could temporarily put his mind at ease.

However, being relieved is one thing, but being relieved and feeling heartbroken are two different things.

He Gui already felt very remorseful and guilty for not being able to accompany Sanhua and take care of her all these years. Now that he knew Sanhua had a miscarriage, how could he remain indifferent?

"Well, Tianci, you're grown up now and become sensible. You should be more considerate of your third sister in the future." Don't compete with her for everything.

He Gui did not say the second half of the sentence directly, as a way of giving He Tianci some face. After all, he is Sanhua's younger brother.

Sanhua had complained to him privately before that Meng Lan favored the youngest son, He Tianci. Therefore, He Gui did not have a very good impression of He Tianci.

"Brother Agui, do I need you to tell me this?" He Tianci did not sense any dissatisfaction from He Gui towards him, and patted his chest and assured him.

"My wife cooks delicious eggs with brown sugar. When I get home, I'll ask her to cook them for my third sister every day so that she can get well soon."

After hearing what He Tianci said, He Gui looked at him curiously, wondering if he had changed his personality. Before he could think about it, Jiang and He Erhua arrived at his house.

"Brother, Chuanjia, Tianci, mother asked us to call you home for dinner." Jiang's voice rang out at the door of the village chief's house.

"Brother Gui, we will go back first and come back tomorrow morning. You should also rest early and don't get tired."

After hearing what his second brother's wife said, the eldest brother He Chuanzong nodded at his second brother's wife Jiang, then turned to He Gui and said.

He Gui had been preoccupied with things today, and his thoughts were all on He Sanhua, so he didn't pay any attention to the passage of time.

When Jiang and He Erhua came to call for help, he realized that the sun in the west was about to set and the sky was gradually getting dark, so he hurriedly said to He Chuanzong.

"Okay, it's already this late, you guys should go back and eat."

After seeing off He Chuanzong and his group, He Gui felt a little hungry. He returned to his room, and on the table was the food his mother had left for him early in the morning.

The rule in Daquan Village since ancient times has been that as long as the parents are alive, the family will not be divided. The village elders are still alive, so He Gui did not separate from his eldest brother's family.

The family is still headed by the village elders.

Ever since He Gui suffered that trauma, his family has always taken good care of him.

He Gui's mother was even more afraid that her youngest son would sacrifice his life. Fortunately, although He Gui was depressed in these years, he never gave up living.

He Gui picked up the chopsticks beside the bowl and ate the still warm food. The food that had no taste in his mouth before now tasted extremely fragrant.

While eating, he listened to the laughter coming from his eldest brother's room. Although he didn't know what happy event his eldest brother and the others had, he was infected by them and his mood couldn't help but improve.

He Gui hasn't been so happy for a long time.

After filling his stomach, He Gui thought for a while, took out his purse from his clothes, counted out fifty copper coins from it, and went out to find his mother.

He had already thought about the meal. Sanhua needed to replenish her body, and he had some chickens at home, so he could make some mushroom chicken soup for Sanhua.

He Gui remembered that once Sanhua came to their house. His sister-in-law had just given birth to a child, and his mother made mushroom chicken soup. When his mother saw that Sanhua looked pale, she gave Sanhua a bowl of it.

Although Sanhua didn't say anything after drinking, her eyes sparkled. From then on, He Gui remembered it.

At this moment, facing his mother's confused expression, He Gui stuffed the copper coins in his hand into his mother's hands without saying a word.

He was not being distant with his mother, he was worried that his elder brother and his wife would feel uncomfortable. If he ate it himself, it would be fine, but now he wanted to give it to Sanhua.

"Mom, I want to kill a chicken and get some eggs."

The money of the village chief's family was basically managed by He Gui's mother. He Gui's mother didn't mind if his daughter-in-law saved some money privately. When He Gui handed the money to his mother, it was like handing it over to the public.

"Agui, why are you killing the chicken?"

He Gui's mother looked at him with some doubt, but she subconsciously pushed the coin back, still muttering.

"If you want to eat chicken, I'll kill one and stew it for you. Why are you being so distant with me?"

He Gui's sister-in-law was a quick-witted person. She stood beside He Gui's mother and quietly nudged her mother-in-law on the back with her elbow.

Unfortunately, He Gui's mother did not realize what her daughter-in-law meant, and her eyes were still full of confusion when she looked at He Gui.

He Gui hesitated for a moment, then stammered and told his mother the truth, "Mom, I...I want to go see Sanhua. I heard from Chuanzong and the others that Sanhua had a miscarriage."

"Who? He Sanhua?" When He Gui's mother heard what He Gui said, she was shocked. It turned out to be the person her son had been studying for so many years.

She's back? When did it happen? How come she didn't know?

He Gui's sister-in-law also widened her eyes when she heard what He Gui said. When she went out to wash clothes during the day, she only heard from her sisters that Meng Lan took He Sanhua back to the village yesterday.

She had just finished dinner and had not had time to tell her mother-in-law, but now she heard new news that was even more shocking.
