A dream ends life

Liu Xia, a native aborigine, could have such a firm determination that Su Ci couldn't help but look up to her.

The gate was pushed open and a tall figure walked in from outside, carrying a sika deer on his shoulder.

There were a few small animals hanging around his waist, swinging back and forth as he walked, as if they were alive.

Liu Xia and her mother hurried over to greet him, "Dad, you're back."

The man threw the deer to the ground, and only then could his face be seen clearly.

He has a dark complexion and regular facial features, and looks 50% like Liu Qiushi. This must be Liu Xia's father.

"Why are you back? Does your mother-in-law know?" The man did not dislike his daughter. Instead, he was worried that his daughter would be disliked by her mother-in-law.

When her father asked, Liu Xia was a little embarrassed to speak. She didn't dare to say directly that she came back yesterday.

Old Man Liu would go into the mountains and be gone for as long as ten days to half a month or as short as three to five days. He really didn't know anything about what was happening in Liu Xia's family.

Seeing that her husband had returned home without even drinking a sip of water, Liu Xianniang changed the subject and talked about Su Ci and his servant.

"His father, this Miss Su wants to rent a yard in the village. The second brother's yard is idle anyway, and I thought it would be good to get some popularity, so why not rent it to them!"

The man looked at Su Ci, who nodded slightly at him, "Uncle Liu."

Liu Xia's father nodded repeatedly, "Miss Su, I don't know when you will move in. I'll ask Liu Xia and her mother to clean up first."

Su Ci said: "If possible, we will move here today. Thank you, Uncle Liu."

The courtyard door was pushed open again, and Liu Qiushi limped in, wiping the corner of his mouth.

Old Man Liu opened his eyes wide, looking surprised: "What have you been doing? Did you fall into the ditch?"

Liu Qiushi spat the dirt in his mouth and said, "I had a fight with that bastard Li Dazhuang."

"What's going on? Da Zhuang is back? Why did you fight with your brother-in-law? You bastard, you deserve to be punished!"

Old Man Liu scolded his son.

Liu Xia stood in front of his brother and said loudly: "This has nothing to do with Qiushi, Dad. I want a divorce and don't want to live with Li Dazhuang."

Old Man Liu choked on his own saliva and was shocked.

"What! What did you say!"

What's wrong with the way he entered the house? It felt like a dream.

I looked at the door and wondered if I should start over again. This dream was so damn scary!

"Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu! Let's go back and pack our things and move in before dinner. We're leaving now."

Su Ci felt that she should disappear and let this family talk properly.

Liu Xia walked them out, feeling somewhat apologetic.

"Sister Su, I know you want to rent the yard because of the problems in my family. I, I really don't want this."

Liu Xia's voice was weak.

Su Ci patted her hands: "You didn't do anything wrong, and you don't have to apologize to anyone. It's not you who did anything wrong."

Liu Xia's eyes lit up, and her confused eyes became bright: "Sister Su, do you really think I did nothing wrong?"

Why did even her parents think she was making a fuss? In their opinion, what her husband's family did was too much. They could beat her and make a fuss, but they still had to go on with their lives after that.

She became furious when she thought about having another woman in the family to share her husband, and that they would have several children in front of her.

Since you can't stand those things, why do you have to get together and disgust yourself? You won't die if you get divorced. At most you can get two rooms and live alone.

She felt that what she thought was not wrong, but in the eyes of her parents, it seemed like a huge catastrophe. She was not sure whether her decision was right.

Su Ci looked at her and said with certainty: "You are right, you are very brave, no matter what your choice is, it is right. However, before making a decision, it is better to speak openly and honestly, so as not to regret it later."

Liu Xia nodded like a chick pecking at rice, watched Su Ci and Chunshui walk away, and walked back to the Liu family yard.

Old Man Liu also listened to his son and daughter-in-law explain the whole story. His chest heaved violently, and it seemed that he was very angry.

"Li Dazhuang is a bastard. He actually did such a shameful thing. Well done to him. He should be beaten to death!"

Liu Qiushi snorted coldly, "If you don't let him lie in bed for half a month, you are not Liu!"

Even though he was injured, his injuries were negligible compared to Liu Dazhuang's.

……

Here, when Su Ci returned to the Li family, the yard was very quiet, and the people who were watching the excitement outside were nowhere to be seen.

The sound of cursing from Old Lady Li came from the room where Liu Xia lived, and it was unclear whether she was cursing Li Dazhuang or Liu Qiushi.

The young widow Liang, the instigator of the incident, sat alone in the main room with her eyes lowered, not knowing what she was thinking.

Hearing the noise in the yard, he came out.

"Sister is back, but she is hungry. I will go and make some food for her."

Chunshui curled her lips. This guy is so familiar. Doesn't he have any sense of shame?

Neither of them paid any attention to her and went straight back to their room.

Liang's eyes flashed, and she shamelessly followed him to the door.

"Sister, you don't know. If I didn't have Brother Dazhuang's child, I would never dare to visit you. The child is innocent. I already know how pitiful a child without a father is. I really can't bear to let him be born without a father. I am also forced to do so."

Liang wiped her tears, looking as if she was trying to compromise.

"I have made it clear to Brother Dazhuang that I will leave here after giving birth to the child. As long as I can give the child a complete family, I will die without regrets."

Chunshui Zhenshi slapped him, took a deep breath, and held it back.

On the first day she arrived, she caused the couple's separation. If she stayed for a year or two, the family would be completely in her hands.

Su Ci did not comment and started packing his things with Chunshui.

Liang tried to strike up a conversation, but the two men didn't give her a chance and she could only watch silently in the yard.

After packing up, he didn't stay long. He said goodbye to Old Lady Li, left five taels of silver, and went up the mountain.

These days they buy their own ingredients and cook their own meals. Sometimes, they watch the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law eat together and even add two extra pairs of chopsticks.

Most of the Li family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law ate with them, so leaving five taels of silver was already a lot.

Old Mrs. Li held the silver and stared blankly at the master and servant as they walked away, unable to recover for a moment.

Liang's eyes widened. "Gone. They just left like that?"

She didn't have so many thoughts. After finally entering the Li family, Su Ci just left like that? Then why did she stay here?

He gnashed his teeth in hatred, walked out of the yard and went straight to the woods not far away.

After waiting for about half an hour, Li Sanzhuang appeared in the woods.

"They didn't have anywhere else to go, so why did they just leave like that?"

Liang asked Li Sanzhuang.

Li Sanzhuang was also confused. Ever since he was thrown into the mountains by Su Ci's guards, he knew that Su Ci was someone he could not afford to offend.

He had been hiding at home for so many days and didn't dare to show up. If Liang hadn't notified him to come to the village today, he would have stayed away from Su Ci.
