The self-reversal of the cannon fodder fat wife

Chapter 153 Returning to Mother’s Home

Su Lin and Teng Lie didn't talk much afterwards. He was thinking about the matter of his wife and daughter. He needed to find out whether it was true or not.

After lunch, Su Lin said goodbye to Teng Lie and returned home with Chen and Su Jie.

On the other hand, Yinuo was very happy to know that her parents and brother and sister-in-law decided to go back to Pengcheng with her. The family discussed it and decided to set off in four days and use these four days to deal with the things at home.

"Dad, Mom, I want to take Ah Fang back to Wujia Village to say goodbye to my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Yi Cheng brought Wu Fang and Yi Xiaodong into the main hall carrying their bags. The three of them put on new clothes. Wu Fang even wore the silver hairpin and silver earrings that Yinuo gave her, making her look a lot more beautiful.

They didn't know when they would come back from Pengcheng this time, so Yicheng felt that he should take Wu Fang back with him. This would not only reassure his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but also allow Wu Fang to leave with him without worry.

Lin Xia agreed with his approach: "It's as it should be. My mother and father-in-law haven't seen Afang and Xiaodong for a long time. They must miss them very much."

"Take all the cloth your sister brought back. I will thank my parents-in-law later."

Wu Fang quickly refused: "Mother, this is not possible. That was given to you by Nuonuo. You can't take it back to my parents' home."

Yinuo knew very well that Wu Fang was not a person who was greedy for small gains. She must have felt embarrassed to hear her mother say that, so she helped Lin Xia to persuade her.

"Sister-in-law, you can take all these cloths back to your uncle and aunt, and it can help lighten our burden."

"You will all be going to Pengcheng by then, and the journey is quite long. There are not enough carriages to carry these things back to Pengcheng. If you leave them at home, I'm afraid there will be thieves who will take advantage of them."

"Over the years, our family has never given any gifts to uncle and aunt. When eldest brother married you, our family didn't give any betrothal gifts. Now I send these to them, and I hope they don't despise them."

As he spoke, Yinuo motioned to Tengke to help load the things onto the carriage.

"Brother, you can just drive the carriage there. It will take only an hour and you can still catch up for lunch."

Yicheng was no longer polite to Yinuo. He knew that he indeed owed Wu Fang a lot, so he was just borrowing her flowers to offer as a gift for the time being. He would return her parents when he made money.

"Afang, just follow your parents' arrangements and don't feel burdened."

"Brother-in-law, I'll move with you."

Five pieces of cloth were loaded onto the carriage at once. Lin Xia and Yinuo also brought two pheasants that Teng Ke had shot yesterday, as well as some rice, flour, sugar, and some medicinal herbs.

"Take all of these with you. Your sister bought quite a lot, and we can't finish them in the next few days. It would be best if you could take them to your in-laws."

"Take these herbs with you, too, so that my in-laws can take more supplements."

"And there are these eggs. We can't finish them all. Take some with you."

While moving things, Lin Xia told them to be careful. Yi Cheng was not very skilled in driving a horse-drawn carriage, so she told him not to be anxious and take his time.

Wu Fang was so moved that she hugged her, tears streaming down her face: "Mom, you are so good to me."

Lin Xia smiled and patted him: "Silly child, my daughter-in-law is half a daughter, and I treat you like a daughter. Although I am not as good to you as I am to Nuonuo, I can't treat you badly."

"Go wash your face quickly, don't let the children laugh at you."

As she spoke, Lin Xia signaled Yi Xiaodong to help Wu Fang get some hot water back to the room to wash her face. After they left, she secretly pulled Yi Cheng into the room.

"Ah Cheng, when Wu Fang married you, our family was poor and only gave her one or two taels of silver. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law were sensible and didn't find fault with it."

"Your sister gave me some money yesterday. I want to use it to buy a house and make a living in Pengcheng. I can't give it to you."

Yi Cheng knew it, and thought his mother had misunderstood him, so he quickly explained: "Mom, we didn't..."

Lin Xia stopped him: "No need to explain, Mom knows you are not thinking about it."

As she spoke, she took out a purse and stuffed it into Yi Cheng's hand: "This is the silver that I exchanged at the bank this morning. Take it to your father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"Just say this is our betrothal gift to Wu Fang. It's seven years late. I hope they don't mind."

Yi Cheng took the purse tremblingly. It was a bit heavy. When he opened it, he found that there were ten taels of silver.

"Mom, this... this is too much..."

As he said this, he wanted to stuff the money back into Lin Xia's pocket, but was stopped by Yi Yuan who walked in.

"Ah Cheng, just take him over."

"Thanks to your sister and brother-in-law, we now have some money on hand. We can regard this money as a loan from them."

"In the future, our family will work together and work hard, and we will definitely have enough food and clothing. Then we will return the money to my uncle and his family."

"Your father-in-law and mother-in-law have had a hard time too. They haven't had much income over the years, and they need the money even more."

"Of course, this is considered a betrothal gift. We have done what we should do, and we are not afraid of being criticized in the future."

Seeing that his parents said so, Yi Cheng no longer refused. He stuffed the purse into his lapel and hid it. Before leaving, Lin Xia asked them to stay there for two days as there was nothing important at home that required their help.

The last time she went back was during the Dragon Boat Festival, which had been four or five months. Wu Fang never thought that this time she would go back to her parents' home in a horse-drawn carriage. It couldn't be said that she went home in glory, but at least this time she would no longer be afraid of the villagers pointing fingers at her, and her parents would no longer have to suffer from gossip about her marrying into a poor family.

Yi Xiaodong didn't understand what the adults were thinking. He sat in the carriage and looked at the flowers and plants outside with curiosity.

Walking is really different from riding in a carriage.

Walking is a difficult experience, requiring constant lifting of the legs and taking steps, and each step is like a struggle with the earth. Stopping and starting makes people feel exhausted, and in the end, it takes more than half a year to walk, and the scenery on the road becomes blurred and cannot be appreciated properly. You can only see the road ahead, but it is difficult to notice the beauty on the roadside.

Sitting in the carriage, he found that the whole road was very beautiful. The carriage passed slowly, and the rolling of the wheels seemed to be composing a beautiful melody for the land.

Yi Dong saw the grass by the roadside. The green sight made him seem to hear the sound of the grass swaying gently in the breeze, as if they were waving and greeting him, welcoming his arrival.

"Mother, it's so comfortable to ride in a carriage."

“The flowers and plants outside have become beautiful.”

Wu Fang stroked his head and replied gently: "Dad and Mom will work hard to make money and buy a carriage in the future!"

Yi Xiaodong happily hugged his mother: "Thank you, mother."

"I will also study hard and become a scholar like my uncle."

Wu Fang increasingly felt that going to Pengcheng with her sister-in-law and the others was the right choice. People always strive for higher goals. It doesn't matter if she has to work harder. She should seize the opportunity and work hard. The most important thing is to give her children a bright future.
