Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter
Chapter 24 Su Family
The next morning, Shen Nanyan, dressed in plain clothes and wearing a veil hat, set off for Meilin Village. It was outside the city, but not far away, and the carriage arrived in an hour.
Three tiled houses with a yard are the best houses in the village.
This is Aunt Su's home, also Shen Nanyan's maternal grandparents' home. In her previous life, Shen Nanyan had never been here. Even though her uncle, aunt and cousins often thought about her, Shen Nanyan did not agree with them from the bottom of her heart and felt that they were bringing shame to her. Later, when she married into the Yue family, her aunt visited her several times. When she wanted to get close to her, Yue Hanzhou despised her and warned her not to associate with the Su family again. She never saw them again until her death.
Shen Nanyan pushed open the fence door and walked in. The house was not big, but it was tidy everywhere.
"anyone there?"
Caifu's voice was heard, and soon a woman came out of the house.
"Who are you two looking for?"
"Aunt, I'm Yan'er."
When Shen Nanyan took off her veil, her aunt Yao Susu was stunned for a moment, then her eyes turned red. She stepped forward and reached out to hold Shen Nanyan's hand, but her hand stopped in mid-air and she shrank back awkwardly. Seeing this, Shen Nanyan immediately grabbed Yao Susu's hand.
"But my aunt doesn't know Yan'er, or she doesn't like Yan'er anymore."
Yao Susu lowered her eyes to hide the moisture in them.
"I...I'm dirty and I'm a rough person, so I'd better not get your clothes dirty."
"Who said my aunt is dirty? I still remember how fragrant she was when she held me in her arms when I was a child."
Yao Susu raised her eyes, her red eyes bursting with tears, which fell on the rough back of her hand and instantly sank into her skin.
There are only three children in the Su family. The only one still living in this old house is Su Zhaoyu, the elder brother of Aunt Su. He has two sons named Su Xinyuan and Su Xinrong. In addition, Aunt Su has an elder sister, Su Yinghe, who has married to a neighboring village and has only one daughter named Cao Luqiao, who is four years older than Shen Nanyue.
Soon, my uncle's family came back from the fields. In my previous life, I didn't remember what my eldest and second cousins looked like. When I saw them today, I felt it was a pity to let them stay in the fields. Especially my eldest cousin Su Xinyuan, he was really handsome. Although his skin was a little darker and he was dressed a little worse, it couldn't hide his gentle temperament at all. Shen Nanyan liked to be close to him very much. Su Xinyuan also liked this sister. He held his little hand and was reluctant to let go, which almost made my uncle Su Zhaoyu angry.
"You little brat, let go of your sister. You're so thick-skinned, you're going to hurt your sister's little hand again."
Su Xinyuan's face turned red and he was about to take his hand back, but this time it was Shen Nanyan who held his hand tightly.
"I told you a long time ago to let mom and dad give us a sister, but you didn't want her. Now we suddenly have a beautiful little sister. Not only do I feel reluctant to let her go, but I also don't want Sister Yan'er to leave our home. Sister Yan'er, please don't leave today, okay?"
The two cousins of the Su family envied other families for having younger sisters. Today, Shen Nanyan suddenly came home. They were so excited that they didn’t know what to say. They just wanted to keep this younger sister.
"I didn't tell mother I was going out today. Next time, I must stay a few more days. Second cousin, don't forget to take Yan'er out for some fun."
"Yan'er, don't listen to his nonsense. You are the daughter of the Shen family, a delicate and precious girl. How can you stay in a place like this? Your aunt can't bear to treat you badly."
After the greetings, Shen Nanyan also spoke about the purpose of her trip.
"Actually, Yan'er came here for something serious."
"But your mother was wronged in the Shen family?"
Su Zhaoyu immediately became serious, which touched Shen Nanyan's heart. Someone still cared about her mother, which made her sacrifice worthwhile to join the Shen family to pay off the debt.
"I'm in the mansion, so mother is fine. But recently I've been thinking about doing some business. I can't just rely on the mansion. It's not pleasant to have to ask for money from the palm of my hand. What's more, mother has the mistress with a treacherous heart and my father's white moonlight above her."
"You've grown up and are able to see things in the long term. Of course, your uncle supports you. Suniang, go get all the money we have saved at home and give it to Yan'er."
"Hey!"
"Aunt, no, no money is needed. Yan'er came here today to ask you to go to the city to help me look after the shop."
"Me? This... I... I don't know how to do this either. What if I mess it up for you?"
"Don't worry, Aunt. We're running a noodle shop. The noodles are new in the entire Nanling Kingdom. They don't need to be cooked. Just soak them in water for half a cup of tea. You don't have to do anything else. Aunt can also learn how to manage the shop. Yan'er will have other businesses to run in the future, but all of them depend on Uncle, Aunt, and cousins."
"As long as your aunt can do it, our Su family will definitely not refuse this matter. We will do whatever you say."
Su Zhaoyu immediately expressed his opinion, and Shen Nanyan was very grateful. After all, there were not many people around her who could be used, so she could only rely on her maternal family.
"Is it just me? Or why not get your aunt here too? You...sigh...your aunt's life is pretty miserable right now. After giving birth to a daughter, she hasn't had any more children. That Cao...your uncle is always out there messing around with other women, and when he comes home drunk he takes it out on her. I heard...I heard he brought a prostitute home a while ago, and the two...they were brazenly having sex in the house...and they even asked your aunt to serve them. Poor aunt, because of your sister Lu Qiao, she doesn't dare to say a word, and just lets these scoundrels from the Cao family treat her so badly."
This was something Shen Nanyan had never heard of in her previous life. Even if she had heard of it, she was afraid she would be powerless to do anything about it. She was already deeply involved in the Yue family, so how could she care about her aunt?
"Is the Cao family so rich that they dare to raise a child?"
"Your uncle works at a wealthy family's farm, supposedly earning a bit of money. But he's so full he did this kind of rotten thing. If he still wanted your aunt to have a child, he should have given her some money to see a doctor. But he refused to do that. He went out to drink and have fun, and when he came back he blamed your aunt, beating and scolding her all day long. Your uncle and cousin also went to the Cao family twice, but they didn't even get to see your aunt."
"He Cao Qi is bullying our Su family because we have so few members. It's because my uncle is useless!"
Thinking of his two younger sisters who failed to marry the right man and live a stable and comfortable life, Su Zhaoyu couldn't sleep all night long. If he had worked harder and achieved something, his two younger sisters would not have to suffer in their husband's families.
Over the years, he has gone to his sister Su Yinghe's in-laws' house countless times. They have had quarrels and fights, but the problem was never solved each time. It made his sister Su Yinghe's life even more miserable. So in the past two years, he has not gone there. He can't change the situation anyway. He just occasionally asks his wife Yao Susu to send some things to her. As for the things, they definitely did not reach his sister. He just hoped that the Cao family would accept the things and show a little kindness to his sister Su Yinghe.
