Mother Xiao looked at her daughter and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, it depends on what you think. If you still want to live with Li Chenggang's kid, I have to be sensible in what I do."

Xiao Chenyue shook her head, "Mom, I don't want to live with him anymore." Her hands holding the swaddling clothes tightened a little, and because of her nervousness, her speech speed unconsciously quickened.

"I know if I go back now, I'll definitely be a burden, but I..."

Before she could finish her words, Xiao Chenyue was hugged by her mother. "Silly child, you are not a burden. You are my first daughter and the apple of my eye."

Is it the one you love most?

Xiao Chenyue recalled the days she spent at Li Chenggang's house. She felt that she was not even as good as a dog there.

She thought she had cried all her tears dry, but at this moment, she couldn't hold back any longer. She hugged her child and nestled in Xiao's mother's arms, breaking down and crying.

When Wen Ran saw this, he felt sad.

Xiao Chenye said nothing, his eyes silently reddened. Wen Ran looked at him and comforted him softly, "It's okay, Second Sister knows what she's thinking. As long as we can hold on, no one can bully her."

Xiao Chenye turned his head, a fragility flashed in his eyes, "I know, I just feel a little regretful. If I had gone to see my sister earlier, this wouldn't have happened."

"What does the Li family have to do with you?"

"Yes," Xiao Chenyue also figured it out. "It's the Li family's business. It has nothing to do with us. I'm not wrong, and no one is wrong..."

.

When they got home, Xiao Chenye moved Xiao Chenyue to the inner room.

The child woke up, but he was still obedient, with his eyes open and not crying. He opened his mouth, wrinkled his nose, and cried out.

To be honest, this child is not really good-looking. He is skinny and has very sparse hair. But he is so pitiful.

Xiao's mother was busy in the house, and Xiao Chenye couldn't help, so he led the Red Army up the mountain, probably wanting to get some meat for Xiao Chenyue to nourish her body.

Father Xiao also hurried back from the fields and walked into the house with a grim look on his face.

After all, this was a family matter, so Wen Ran didn't rush forward and dragged the backpack back to her own hut. She brought back a lot of things this time, including daily necessities, some homespun cloth and cotton.

And milk powder...

Wen Ran had just packed up his things when there was a knock on the door.

Mother Xiao's slightly embarrassed voice sounded outside the door, "Xiao Wen Zhiqing, are you there?"

"I'm here!"

Wen Ran ran over quickly and opened the door, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

"I, I... I'm really sorry," Xiao's mother knew that it was really inappropriate for her to say this, but looking at her thin daughter and granddaughter, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

"I, I want to exchange money for milk powder with you."

Xiao's mother was a little hesitant.

Wen Ran could understand that at this moment, not to mention milk powder, even malted milk was a rare thing.

"Row."

Seeing Wen Ran agree immediately, Xiao's mother was even more moved and stuffed fifteen yuan into his pocket.

"Xiao Wen, I know that no matter how much money we give you, you're the one who suffers the loss. Once we get through this difficult time, our whole family will repay you well."

"Let the child eat first."

If you ask yourself, this price is already very high.

Of course, Wen Ran didn't get the milk powder from the black market. She took it out of the space by pulling the backpack. In order to hide her secret, she quickly changed the packaging of the milk powder.

After packing up, Wen Ran followed Xiao's mother to the east room to see the children.

There was no one else in the room except the mother and daughter.

When Xiao Chenyue saw Wen Ran, her eyes were filled with gratitude. "Little Wen Zhiqing, your kindness is so great. I really..."

"Stop talking," Wen Ran was really scared. "My ears are about to get calluses."

After just a few words, Xiao's father came home with a large group of people.

The first group to come in were a few uncles, who were quite old and had thick beards.

After a few greetings, Xiao Chenyue began to inquire about the whole story.

Xiao Chenyue explained everything one by one. She wasn't in a low mood at all. On the contrary, she seemed to be in high spirits because she had returned to her mother's home.

The uncles pondered for a moment, "We all know about this matter, and we will definitely seek justice for you."

After everyone left, Xiao's mother explained in a low voice, "It's like this here. If a married girl is bullied, the elders and young people of the same clan have to support her."

Wen Ran was surprised, "Is this still possible?"

"I was forced to do this. In this world, it's not easy for women to live. If I don't protect my own children, others will not take them seriously."

Xiao Chenyue calmed down a lot. "My uncles made a decision for me once before. At that time, the Li family burst into tears. I was deceived by the illusion and chose to give them another chance."

Thinking of this, she smiled bitterly, "Now it seems that I was really wrong. A beast is a beast. Giving him a chance is useless."

Wen Ran didn't comment much. As night fell, she tidied up and went to bed.

She has to go to work tomorrow, so she needs to conserve her energy and find a way to be lazy at work.

The next morning, the rooster in the neighbor's house began to crow. Wen Ran was startled and got up from the kang. Looking at all the unfamiliar things, he subconsciously reached under the pillow to grab his cell phone.

I felt empty.

Oh ~

When her thoughts returned, she belatedly realized that she had already put it on.

Xiao Chenye made breakfast, which consisted of stir-fried cabbage and boiled young corn cobs as the staple food.

There was still chicken soup stewing in the pot. Wen Ran was sensible. She knew that it was for Xiao Erjie to increase her milk production, so she didn't even glance over there.

Instead, Xiao Chenye prepared a bowl of soup and shredded some chicken. He placed it in front of Wen Ran and said sparingly, "Eat."

"I?"

"Ah."

Wen Ran declined, quickly took two bites of cabbage, picked up an ear of corn and stood up, "No, this is for my second sister. I won't fight with a woman who has just given birth for food."

I wanted to leave, but I didn't.

Xiao Chenye pressed lightly, and Wen Ran's buttocks touched the stool again.

Wen Ran: “?”

Brother, don’t do that. If you do that, she will really lose face!

"Who said you were trying to steal food from a woman who had just given birth?" Xiao Chenye looked puzzled. "It's hot, and the meat won't keep well. I told you to eat, so you ate. After you're done, I'll go fight again."

This was said with great pride, and Wen Ran chuckled, "Really?"

"Don't underestimate me. If you can run long distances outside, you can't survive without some skills." Xiao Chenye paused and urged: "Hurry up, you will be too late soon."

Wen Ran started to drink the chicken soup, but Xiao Chenye was too honest. Wen Ran couldn't finish the whole bowl of chicken soup, so he left a small half of it awkwardly.

"I am full?"

"Ah."

Xiao Chenye picked up the bowl, drank it in one breath, put it down, and said calmly, "Let's go."

Wen Ran grabbed the corn and followed, dazed, "Where are we going?"

"...Do you know where I'll be working?"

Wen Ran turned off the microphone. OK, she really didn’t know.
