"My child, you have suffered so much."

Injured and imprisoned, why is Ruanruan's life so miserable?

Seeing that she was about to cry again, Su Ruanruan quickly smiled and said, "Aunt, please don't cry. I'm fine."

Liu wiped her tears, thought about the drama that happened in Maoshan Village that day, and pulled Su Ruanruan back into the house.

"I don't know what happened in Maoshan Village that day, but it would be great if we could break off the relationship with the Su family. From now on, you and your sister won't have to worry about their faces anymore."

"Since the owner of your tofu shop is willing to act for you, he must be a kind person, otherwise he wouldn't have paid for your medical treatment."

Liu took out a copper key from her waist, opened a cabinet door, and took out an old purse from it and handed it to Su Ruanruan. "Here is the money left from selling ginseng. You can take it back and return it to the shopkeeper tomorrow. If it's not enough, we can think of a way to make up for it slowly."

"She is kind-hearted. We can't rely on her money after receiving her help."

"Although our family is poor, we can't be that kind of person."

Su Ruanruan felt that the silver in her hand was a little hot. She really wanted to tell Liu that she had silver, but it was not the right time yet.

"Aunt, you should take back the money. Brother Da Tie's good days are coming soon, and money is needed for everything, right? I heard that the girl is gentle, virtuous, and knows the big picture. Such a good girl, our family should not treat her badly, and the appearance of a marriage must be maintained, so that people will not laugh at her."

When talking about that girl, Liu couldn't hide the admiration in her eyes, "If you ask me, Datie is really lucky. It's a good thing he didn't get engaged to Wang Chunya, otherwise he wouldn't have met such a good girl."

"Speaking of this, I, your aunt, have to thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have such a good daughter-in-law. You have to accept this money."

She patted Su Ruanruan's shoulder and said, "Wait for me for a moment."

After he finished speaking, he turned and went into the house. When he came out, he had two more taels of silver in his hand.

"Wan'er has also heard about your situation from Datie. She asked Datie to bring these back so that you can use them to pay off your debt. You can take them together."

"Wan'er said that it's not unfair to marry Datie. You need the money now. If you pay off your debts soon, you will feel at ease, right?"

Su Runrun's heart was filled with tenderness. Even before she met her cousin's wife named Wan'er, she had already felt her kindness.

It’s great that these two simple and kind families can become one family.

Su Ruanruan stuffed all the silver into Liu's arms, "Aunt, I appreciate your kindness, please keep this silver."

"This..." Liu was at a loss.

Su Ruanruan raised a sweet smile, "Mu Bai has already paid off all the debts for me, the IOUs have been burned, and even the document of breaking off the relationship given by Wang is here with me."

Liu was stunned. "Really...really?"

"It's true. How could I lie to my aunt?"

Liu had also heard Su Ruanruan mention Mu Bai and knew that he was a scholar. He taught Ruanruan how to read and write, and also took special care of her in the city.

Now they have paid off her debt, does that mean they...

Facing Liu's gossiping eyes, Su Ruanruan rarely showed a bit of shyness, "Mu Bai treats me very well, just as my aunt thought..."

"Mu Bai is a scholar anyway. Many people ask him to write poems and paint. He earns all that money."

Liu was somewhat comforted, "Ruanruan has finally gotten what she wanted after all the hardships she suffered. You really have to thank the Bodhisattva for blessing you. If your grandmother, parents knew that you have such a considerate person to take care of you, they would be smiling in their graves."

"When there's a chance, I'll definitely bring him back for my aunt to see."

"He has been with the Master to Lingzhou these days. When he comes back, I will bring him back to see you and uncle."

"Good, that's great." Liu nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that she would have to prepare a dowry for Ruanruan as soon as possible.

"Why don't you meet your uncle, Da Tie brother and Er Wang cousin?"

"Well, your uncle and Erwang followed a few strong men from the village to another village to build houses for others. The two of them together make more than twenty coins a day, which is pretty good."

"As for your eldest brother, I asked him to go deliver some food to Wan'er and her mother, and he hasn't come back yet."

"Wan'er and her mother are orphans and widows. They don't have any land at home. They support themselves by selling embroidery, which is quite hard."

"I've seen the embroidery pieces that Wan'er embroidered. The workmanship is really good. How come this girl has such a deft hand? The more I look at them, the more I like them."

Su Ruanruan also laughed, "As long as you like it, aunt."

At night, Su Ruanruan coaxed Xiaoxi to sleep and talked to him for a long time.

Xiaoxi answered every question and said that she had met cousin Wan'er's wife, who was especially kind to her and cousin Sanzhu, and even made delicious sugar cakes for them.

"Does Xiaoxi want to live in the city with Sister?"

Xiaoxi blinked his obsidian eyes. He really wanted to live with his sister.

But Brother Sanzhu said that my sister is very busy working in the city.

Besides, my elder sister already has an older brother she likes, and if he follows her, it will disturb them.

He hopes that his sister will be happy and that she will always be happy.

"I don't want to. I want to stay here. My uncle and aunt are very good to me, and Sanzhu brother will protect me. I have made several friends in the village."

Su Xiaoxi grabbed Su Ruanruan's hand and grinned, "Sister, don't worry about me. You should be well in the city."

Su softly rubbed his hair and said, "Okay, Sister will be fine, and Xiaoxi will be fine too."

"I heard a story in the city. Can I tell you about it?"

On the second day, after having lunch at her uncle's house and playing with Xiaoxi and the others until 3 p.m., Su Runrun took Bai Runrun and left for Maoshan Village.

The matter that she asked Gu Ji to check before should have come to fruition.

Without evidence, she didn't want to jump to conclusions or wrongly accuse anyone.

When she appeared in the territory of Maoshan Village, the villagers on the road started talking again.

"Su Ruanruan, you still dare to come back, aren't you afraid that your grandma will break your legs?"

"Why were you released so soon? It's useless for you to come back. The Su family no longer has a place for you to live."

There were even some nosy maids who had already gone to the Su family to pass on the message.

Before Su Ruanruan even reached Gu Ji's house, Wang, Zheng and the new widowed concubine Wen had blocked her way.

Su Runrun raised her eyebrows and looked at these people. These people who were originally incompatible with each other, now they are a united front?

Granny Wang put one hand on her waist and pointed at Su Ruanruan with the other, "You bastard, how dare you come back? Aren't you in prison? How did you get out?"

"There's still a lot of work waiting for you to do at home. Hurry and get back here, or don't blame me for not recognizing you."

"If you clean up the house, maybe I can get Su Xiaoxi into my Su family tree again."

"As for you, I can still leave you a place to live. Do you think that scholar will really like you? When she is no longer interested in you, it will be too late for you to cry."
