Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

After seeing off Mrs. Zhou, Ji Nuan sorted out the herbs she had picked that morning and dried them in the sun.

After taking the medicine Ji Nuan gave her last night, Ji's mother's condition has improved. My eldest sister-in-law is currently sitting on a low stool, helping to boil the medicine needed for today.

When Ji Nuan saw her second sister-in-law coming out with an embroidery basket, she walked up to her curiously and sat down next to her.

"Second sister-in-law, can you also embroider?" Ji Nuan couldn't help but ask as she watched her thread the needle skillfully without drawing a pattern first.

Without even looking up, the second sister-in-law continued with her movements. She said, "When I was little, I often stayed at my maternal grandmother's house and learned from my aunt. My maternal grandmother had two children, my mother and my aunt. Life was tough back then, and my grandmother was ill and confined to her bed, on the verge of death. My aunt sold herself at a young age, leaving the money for my grandmother's medical treatment and then went with the master's family."

"Then how did she come back?" Ji Nuan was also bored, so she just listened to the story.

"My aunt was only seven years old at the time. She was also lucky. Her master was Mr. Chen from the capital. Mr. Chen bought her to serve his daughter, Miss Sun. Later, she learned to read and embroidery from Miss Sun. When she reached marriageable age, she didn't want her descendants to continue to be slaves, so she used ten years of savings to buy her own freedom."

The second sister-in-law spoke, stretching out the embroidered petals. "Aunt always remembered her own name, and she never forgot her home. Mr. Chen was kind and even allowed her to return several times when she was a teenager. Aunt said goodbye to the young lady and returned to her maternal grandparents' home."

My second sister-in-law's aunt has her own ideas.

"What happened next?" Ji Nuan asked, supporting his chin.

The second sister-in-law glanced at Ji Nuan and thought that this sister-in-law was quite gossipy.

"After my mother got married, she found a live-in son-in-law for you and stayed at home to take care of the old couple. She supported the family by embroidery."

"Originally, our family lived well, but after my maternal grandfather and his wife passed away, my uncle, who seemed to be an honest and kind person, suddenly changed his attitude. He brought back a woman and a child from outside, claiming that my aunt couldn't give birth to a son, so he found someone else to give birth to one for him, and now he wants to bring the child home to raise."

As my second sister-in-law spoke, she became more and more angry, just like her personality.

"I've seen that child. She's older than my aunt's daughter!" Many years have passed, but the second sister-in-law is still angry.

"Weren't these two already involved before your aunt got married?" The eldest sister-in-law also pricked up her ears to listen. We can't resist other people's gossip.

"Of course not! That shameless thing, doesn't he even realize that he's just a son-in-law, yet he still wants to hug women left and right!"

"Second sister-in-law, don't be angry, don't be angry! Tell me what happened next?" Ji Nuan patted her second sister-in-law's back soothingly.

"My aunt disagreed at the time and asked the clan leader to divorce me. She then had the family of three driven out of the village."

Ji Nuan and her sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief. This was how a scumbag should be dealt with immediately.

"Your aunt is such an amazing woman!" Ji Nuan exclaimed with sincere admiration. In this day and age, being able to decisively make decisions when faced with a problem is truly admirable.

"My aunt is great, but there are also many people in the village who say she shouldn't divorce her husband." The second sister-in-law felt a little disappointed.

"You don't feel the pain until the slap lands on your face. You still have to take care of the family of three left, and you can forget about living a peaceful life." Ji Nuan liked her aunt's straightforward personality.

"Nuannuan is right. If we keep them here, the days ahead will be filled with chaos."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone knocking on the gate.

Zhou Village is not far from Taohua Village, and it takes one stick of incense to run back and forth. It is probably Zhou's sister-in-law who has come now.

The gate to the courtyard was not locked, so Ji Nuan opened it and invited people in.

As soon as Zhou's wife entered the house, she pulled Ji Nuan over and said, "Nuan Nuan, please take a look at Shi Tou. Are you tired from working in the fields these days? Why are you sweating so much?"

Ji Nuan's mouth twitched slightly. This excuse was really not very thoughtful.

"Brother Zhou, stretch out your hand, let me show you." Ji Nuan looked at the eldest brother of the Zhou family. He was a strong man and didn't seem to have any problems.

"You're just worrying about nothing. I've been busy in the fields all day, how can I not sweat?" He said this without stopping, rolled up his sleeves twice and stretched out his hand.
