Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

After saying a few words, A'luo left on the pretext of going to see Haisheng, leaving the east wing for the mother and daughter to talk privately.

As soon as A Luo left, the room became quiet.

Du Wenxiu didn't know what to say.

Ask her if she is doing well?

Now they are all going to be sold to be maids. How can we say this is good?

She was injured during childbirth and was sold to a traveling merchant. Now she has fallen to this state. I think her life must have been difficult.

What to say?

"you......"

"I just gave birth to a child, named Haisheng, and he's almost four months old. Do you want to meet him?"

As soon as Qi Sanniang opened her mouth, Du Wenxiu interrupted her.

For some reason, she didn't want to say anything to her.

At least, not now.

"Okay." Qi Sanniang nodded in agreement, tears glistening in her eyes.

Du Wenxiu turned around and went out, taking Haisheng from A Luo.

"She wants to meet Haisheng."

A Luo smiled happily and wiped away the tears from his eyes.

"You should meet her. She's my dear grandmother."

Du Wenxiu paused for a moment, then walked in without saying anything.

Qi Sanniang carefully took the child, rocked him gently, and said with a smile: "He really looks like you when you were a child. It's a pity that I... didn't even prepare a gift for the child."

"Do you still remember what I looked like when I was a child?" Du Wenxiu asked indifferently.

Qi Sanniang paused for a moment and sighed: "I only remember what you looked like when you were born."

The two of them didn't speak again, but fortunately Haisheng was there to ease the depressing atmosphere a little.

Qi Sanniang held Haisheng and coaxed him for a while, then asked, "What does the child's father do? I haven't heard from Zhang Yapo about it."

"he died."

Qi Sanniang stood there in a daze, holding Haisheng.

For a long time, she frowned and pursed her lips, looked around, and blinked her eyelids continuously, but she couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

She hugged Haisheng tightly with one hand and used the other hand to pick up her sleeve to wipe her eyes, but she couldn't wipe them dry.

She suddenly stuffed Haisheng into Du Wenxiu's arms, covering her heart with one hand and her mouth, which was wide open and could not be closed, with the other hand.

"I...I am sorry for you..."

Having said this, he could no longer hold back his sobs, and sat down on a chair, then turned over and leaned over the table, crying non-stop.

Du Wenxiu seemed to know why she was like this, but he didn't quite understand.

She was silent for a long time before she said, "This is my fate, you are not to blame."

Qi Sanniang shook her head: "No, it's my fault. I've let you down..."

"That merchant bought me back then. He was nice to me at first and even said he would go and discuss with Le's family. At most, he would spend more money to bring you out as well."

Qi Sanniang cried for a while to vent her anger, and after being comforted by A Luo who came after hearing her cry, she calmed down and talked about the past.

"I was very grateful at first, but later he got drunk and said that Le's was asking too much and if he spent too much, he might not be able to get his money back."

"I started to have doubts at the time, so I advised him that I didn't have to take the child away, and that he shouldn't force it if it wasn't worth it."

Du Wenxiu held the child and fed him while listening to Qi Sanniang and A Luo telling them about their experiences over the years.

"Later, I learned that his own daughters, when they grew up, all married off to families with high dowries, or used them as collateral for his purchases."

"Once she got married, she would use the grace of raising her to make endless demands, which made his family wealth grow. When his daughters grew up in a few years, he no longer had to run around doing business."

"Oh." A Luo sighed, "There are still families like this, making a fortune by selling their daughters. God really has no eyes."

"It's a good thing he didn't force our Xiuniang to take her away, otherwise, I don't know what kind of life she would be living now."

Qi Sanniang nodded and looked at Du Wenxiu with tears in her eyes.

"I don't know how Xiuniang grew up in the Du family, but she suffered a lot. Did she ever blame me for giving birth to you?"

Then, she lowered her head and cried again: "I miss you day and night, I am afraid that you don't have enough to eat, don't have warm clothes, and don't grow up..."

"I gave birth to you, but I can't protect you. How can I be worthy of being a ..."

"Hey, don't say that." A Luo was a concubine like her, so he could understand the pain in her heart.

He stepped forward, patted her shoulders and comforted her, "You have no choice. As concubines of others, how can we control our own fate?"

"Although Xiuniang suffered a lot when she was young, she has lived a good life and enjoyed many blessings when she grew up. Why are you still crying? Don't cry."

Qi Sanniang cried until she was out of breath, clutching her clothes at the chest and crying.

"But my Xiuniang only had a few days of good life before she became a widow..."

Du Wenxiu suddenly stood up holding the child, which startled the two of them and they all looked up at her.

"Now that you're back, live a good life. I've earned my good life now, so don't cry about not having a man. If you cry every day and make a mess, even the God of Wealth might not want to enter my house."

After saying a few words, Du Wenxiu carried Haisheng back to the main room.

For some reason, when she saw Qi Sanniang, she felt so depressed that she couldn't let it go and her heart ached.

Perhaps the original body still had resentment towards her biological mother?

Although she had no choice, this was the way the world was.

However, no matter how clear the logic is, there will still be resentment in your heart, right?

When I was beaten and scolded, when I slept in the woodshed, when I woke up from the cold in the middle of the night, when I had a fever and was about to die...

Did she also complain about why she was given birth to?

When she jumped into the river to commit suicide in anger, did she ever think of her biological mother?

I guess I have thought about it.

Du Wenxiu thought.

The time was too long, and she could no longer find any traces in her original body's memory.

But fragments of emotions may last longer.

She felt angry, wronged and resentful.

She wanted to cry too.

But now he lives a good life. Although Lu Fanghai's life or death is unknown, because of his good deeds, he still receives the protection of the new county magistrate after Fan Zhao's family left.

The business is getting bigger and bigger. When Yue Niang comes back from the capital, she will concentrate on managing the export trade. She will become richer and richer, and with money, her life will get better and better.

Isn’t this the dream I had when I first reborn?

As for this biological mother, as long as she is well, I will be well too.

If she has other thoughts, I will do what Xiaohu did, provide her with good food and drink, and then keep my distance.

After making up her mind, she felt much calmer.

Perhaps those previous emotions were just substituted into the original body, and I don’t know how to face them?

Everything will be fine once you clear your thoughts.

A Luo reminisced with Qi Sanniang and cried for a while. When he didn't see Du Wenxiu coming back, he went out to the main room to look for her.

Just then, Du Wenchan, who had just completed the indenture, came back and he told her quietly what had just happened.

Du Wenchan glanced at the thin figure on the east wing window, sighed, and said to A Luo:

"I heard from Grandma Zhang that she has had a hard time these years. Now that she has returned home, we should treat her well."

"Sister has a grudge against her, so just wait for her to resolve it. It has nothing to do with us. Aunt, please don't bully her just because sister ignores you."

"Look at what you said." Luo said dissatisfiedly.
