Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

But this is not the time to go into these details. At least the third son’s wife’s attitude is correct.

At this moment he pointed out:

"Don't you think about it? We just sent Er Ni'er over, and then some fairy appeared from the Sun family, along with a cart of goodies."

"From what I can see, this matter might be related to Erni'er..."

"Can't you, mother?"

Ma Pandi widened her eyes in surprise, somewhat unable to believe it.

Erni'er was the name the Chen family usually gave Sun Bailu. As for the name Chen Bailu, it was when she was born that a fortune teller in the village happened to come across her and said that the girl would be blessed, so he took the initiative to give her such a precious name.

Although the Chen family adopted it (after all, it didn't cost any money), they actually didn't think much of it. They usually didn't call Chen Bailu by her full name, but just called her Erni'er.

Humph, what kind of blessing is this? She's just a stinky little girl.

To be honest, the Chen family treated Chen Bailu well for two years at the beginning. However, as more and more children were born, especially boys, Chen Bailu's background was completely forgotten.

However, the old woman seemed to have remembered this at this moment. So she strengthened her tone and ordered:

"Third brother, just listen to me. You'll go to the Sun family soon. Don't say anything else. Just say you're going to see Erni'er. If she's not there, you can go see the Sun family too."

"It's mainly to find out what's going on."

After thinking for a while, the old woman instructed Ma Pandi:

"If you find out that that little fairy girl is really our Erni, don't act rashly... Keep her safe first. If anything comes back, we can discuss it later. Got it?"

"I know, Mom, don't worry."

Ma Pandi has always been convinced by her mother-in-law, so she readily agreed at this time.

At lunchtime, the Sun family, as usual, found a relatively secluded spot. Mr. Sun San and Qu Zhongliang built a simple shed with oilcloth to block out the outside view.

The girls from the Sun family came back from collecting firewood nearby, and the women started a fire in the shed to cook. Of course, apart from the firewood, everything in the shed, including pots and pans, came from Sun Bailu's space.

After a while, the aroma of rice wafted out from the shed.

Everyone in the Sun family was very excited.

On the simple dining table were placed the ham and bagged pickles that Sun Bailu had just taken out, and soon they would have another full meal.

At this moment, a woman's trembling voice suddenly broke the silence:

"Er, Erni'er?" Ma Pandi looked at the little girl in front of her who seemed both strange and familiar, and asked in disbelief.

Sun Bailu was sitting on a canvas chair outside the shed, her usual place for rest these days. Her feet were resting on a small bamboo stool—the one Sun Yaozu used for his meals and also served as a footstool for Sun Bailu.

This way, he could avoid getting his shoes dirty when resting. After all, Sun Bailu was still disgusted by the poor road conditions in ancient times.

"Are you really Erni'er?"

Ma Pandi couldn't believe her eyes and asked again.

"Well, I am and I'm not."

Sun Bailu and Sun Zhengzhi had a verbal agreement, so she didn't want to reveal her origins. But she also didn't want to directly deny the original owner's identity, otherwise there would be no reason to help the original owner's poor family.

Seeing Ma Pandi's puzzled expression, Sun Bailu frowned and said:

"I had a wound on my head, so I lost my memory when I woke up. Grandpa said that from now on I will be a member of the Sun family, so I have changed my name to Sun Bailu."

"From now on, please call me Sun Bailu, or Bailu, and don't call me Chen Ernier anymore."

"Oh, Erni'er, how can you talk to your mother like that?"

Confirming that she was indeed the one giving birth to a money-losing child, Ma Pandi immediately became unhappy and her voice became sharp. Her own daughter actually disowned her and changed her surname. It was really outrageous.

In Ma Pandi's heart, her daughters were worthless and she could do whatever she wanted with them. It could even be said that she had full control over their life, death and fate.

Now she actually has a delusion that she can jump out of her hand and live a good life alone. How can this be possible?

In a sense, Ma Pandi's thoughts are similar to those of the original owner's mother, Sun Wanru - giving birth to a son is a treasure, and it can bring them power and glory.

The daughters he gave birth to were like grass, or rather, a disgrace. Only by suppressing and humiliating them could he avoid the same fate.

"Er Ni'er, where did you get this dress?"

Seeing that Sun Bailu ignored her, Ma Pandi asked sharply:

"You silly girl, did you steal the money from home and come to someone else's house to enjoy the good life?"

Sun Bailu was stunned.

She knew the Chen family had a rough character, but she never imagined the original owner's mother would be such a scoundrel, lying freely. In the original owner's memory, the Chen family had always been poor, so where would she get the money to steal?

Isn't this nonsense?

But she was just a naive girl, a worthless fighter, and she was speechless for a moment after hearing these words, not knowing how to refute them.

Madam Sun seized the opportunity and just at this moment, she came out of the shed. She also pulled the curtain at the door to block out the things inside.

"Hey, sister, why are you here~" Madam Sun greeted with a forced smile:

"We agreed before that after the two families switched, we would have nothing to do with each other. Why are you bothering my daughter again? Are you trying to send my poor sister-in-law back?"

"this………"

Ma Pandi was speechless for a moment.

I was so anxious just now that I forgot about this. The Sun family's sister-in-law was already pregnant by the Chen family, so there was no way she could be a living person in the Sun family.

"Sister, you're worrying too much. That's not what I meant."

Ma Pandi regained her senses and realized that Chen Erni was no longer under her control. At the same time, she remembered what her mother-in-law had told her.

Suddenly regretting his hasty words, he could only explain with a wry smile:

"I heard that Erni'er seemed to be still alive, so I came to see her because I missed her so much. I was so happy that I spoke a little confusedly. Hehe~ Don't take it to heart, sister."

After saying that, he took Sun Bailu's hand affectionately:

"Er Ni'er, don't blame me. I was just too worried about you, so I was talking nonsense. Seeing that you are doing well, I am really happy for you!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Bailu finally breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face - that's right, she said, what mother would be so cold-blooded to her own daughter.

She was really scared just now!

He opened his mouth and was about to ask for something for Ma Pandi when Madam Sun had already taken the initiative and pulled out about five pounds of rice from behind the curtain.

Sun Bailu could tell at a glance that the rice seemed to be mixed with dirt and sand, and was a bit dirty.

She frowned in confusion and was about to ask what was going on, but Madam Sun winked at her and signaled her not to speak.
