Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Chapter 27 The Su Family Enters the City

Cao Qi usually relies on his superiors for power in the farm, but becomes a timid and submissive person outside the farm. Even if he offends others, he has to ask his mother to say it to him. So at this time, Cao's mother-in-law can't rely on him at all. But after all, he is her son, and knowing that he is weak and incompetent, Cao's mother-in-law can only think of ways to help him save face.

"Cao Qi, I'll give you one last chance. If you divorce my aunt, we'll keep our distance from each other. If you insist on keeping my aunt, then no matter what happens in the future, you can't cause trouble for our Su family."

Shen Yunzhi didn't know about the haunting of the Cao family, but he knew one thing: his sister came here to take his aunt away.

"Qi'er, hurry up and let them take her away. We can't let our Cao family be destroyed by some woman. We still have Hua Niang at home. Let's just pretend she's dead."

Cao Qi was not reluctant to part with Shen Suyinghe, he just wanted to take this opportunity to ask for some money. However, Shen Nanyue was unwilling to pay a single penny and even brought thugs with her. In desperation, he could only agree to the divorce.

At Shen Nanyan's request, the Cao family invited the village chief to be a witness, and the two of them pressed their fingerprints to get divorced. Only then were Su Yinghe and her daughter Cao Luqiao released from the cowshed.

When she saw this aunt, Shen Nanyan's eyes instantly turned red. She had met this aunt many years ago. In her impression, this aunt was lively and cheerful, and she was also quick and decisive in doing things. What kind of torture could make such a woman's eyes lose their light?

"aunt."

When Shen Nanyan went to meet her, Su Yinghe was in tears and gritted her teeth, unable to say a word. She felt so useless that the younger generation saw her in such a miserable state. Facing the little hand extended by Shen Nanyan, she unconsciously took a step back.

"Auntie smells bad, please don't..."

"Aunt, Yan'er is not afraid."

Shen Nanyan hugged Su Yinghe directly, and at this moment Su Yinghe burst into tears.

When she learned that she could divorce Cao Qi, she did not hesitate at all and pressed her handprint very quickly, as if she would be too late if she was even a second slower.

After everything was done, Shen Nanyan was about to take Su Yinghe away because it was really getting late.

"Mother, please take me with you. I don't want my father to sell me to Yu Zhuangtou, the head of the village. He could be my grandfather now. I beg my cousins ​​to have pity on me. I don't want to be someone's concubine."

"What's wrong with being a concubine? Wearing gold and silver, living the life of a master. Your father had to work hard to get this for you, and you don't want to pay for it."

Cao Qi and Cao's mother-in-law had already discussed this matter. To them, their daughter's family was just for sale, so the Cao family was naturally unwilling to let Cao Luqiao leave. Shen Nanyan looked at her cousin who was crying heartbreakingly and felt that she had made a mistake. She had not planned for all this in advance, and it would not be easy to take her away suddenly.

"Yunzhi, Yan'er, Auntie... Auntie knows it's hard for you, but Lu Qiao..."

"Aunt, we know. Don't worry. I'm here and I won't let my cousin suffer here."

Before Shen Nanyan could think of a solution, Shen Yunzhi agreed to it without hesitation, so Shen Nanyan had no chance to intervene and watched Shen Yunzhi go to negotiate the price with the Cao family.

Fortunately, the Cao family was greedy for money, and Shen Yunzhi had saved some money recently. He simply spent the money to buy Cao Luqiao back, and the matter was completely resolved.

When the brother and sister were rushing back with Shen Yinghe and her daughter, the sun was about to set. They barely entered the city when the city gate was setting, and then headed towards Baicao Lane.

In front of a small courtyard, Nanny Yuan and the Su family had been waiting for a long time. Seeing a carriage coming towards them, everyone went to greet it with anticipation. As Su Yinghe got off the carriage, she felt sad again.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, come inside quickly, don't stand outside at this late hour."

Shen Zhaoyu stiffened his neck, suppressed the sadness in his chest, and invited everyone into the house.

The main house of the courtyard was naturally reserved for Su Zhaoyu and his wife, the east wing was for Su Yinghe and her daughter, and Su Xinyuan and his brothers were placed in the west wing. Although the place was not very big, it was much better than their previous courtyard. There were two ear rooms and side rooms, and the kitchen and other things were in the backyard. It was a standard small courtyard house, enough for a family to live in.

Su Yinghe looked at such a nice house and tears couldn't help but overflow from her eyes again.

"Mom, this...this place is so nice."

Cousin Cao Luqiao looked around timidly, pulled Su Yinghe's wrist and spoke quietly.

"Okay, that's right. It's so wonderful that we can live like this. It's really God's mercy. Thanks to your cousins, this life is worth it even if I die."

"What are you talking about, aunt? Good days are coming. What are you talking about? You all need to live a long life, otherwise who will take care of your cousins' children?"

Shen Nanyan's words made the elders very happy, but the younger ones blushed, especially her cousin Cao Luqiao, who was four years older than her and was old enough to discuss marriage, but there was no rush for these things at the moment.

After everyone sat down, Shen Nanyue told everyone her plan in detail. It was just a small shop, and everyone thought it was not difficult. However, they were all very interested in the noodles she mentioned, so they made an appointment to go to the shop tomorrow to help set up and clean up, and by the way, try the noodles that Shen Nanyue praised so much that they were drooling.

On the way back, Shen Yunzhi remained silent. All he could think about was what happened at the Su family just now. His sister was eloquent. Although she was young, she had clear thinking and arranged things in an orderly manner. She even considered the smallest details clearly. In comparison, he felt like a waste.

It has been a while since he read the books he had left behind. Although he was able to concentrate on them, his mind always wandered off track and he was completely unable to comprehend the principles contained in the poems. The imperial examination was still a few months away, and he still had no idea what to do.

He is not good at studying, has no achievements, has a bad reputation, and has accomplished nothing. He doesn't know what the meaning of his existence is. Is he only able to rely on his sister and become a useless person?

Looking at his sister sleeping on him, Shen Yunzhi's heart was filled with guilt, and he hated Lu more and more. If it weren't for her, how could he become like this today? He was obviously a good student and could have a better future, but now it's all ruined. Lu ruined his life.

After sending Shen Nanyue back to the courtyard, Shen Yunzhi walked silently to Lu's courtyard and wandered outside the courtyard wall for a long time. When it was almost dawn, he asked Wei Ze for a fire starter and directly set fire to Lu's courtyard. When the fire started, screams rang out from inside. Wei Ze grabbed Shen Yunzhi and jumped up, disappearing into the darkness.
