The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Song Yuntang leaned his head on Xu Qingye's shoulder.

I took his hand and touched my abdomen. Maybe because the pregnancy was in the back wall, my belly didn't look very big.

"This little guy is usually very lively and kicks my belly all the time."

Xu Qingye's expression was gentle.

"It seems to be a naughty little thing."

Song Yuntang smiled faintly, "He's still a little greedy cat. Every time he smells delicious food, he moves especially happily."

Xu Qingye smiled.

"That's up to you."

"what?"

Song Yuntang pushed him unhappily, but he wasn't really angry.

"How has everything been going at home during the time I've been missing?"

Xu Qingye restrained his smile.

"During the time you were away, my parents weren't in a good mood, and my grandmother was seriously ill. Wencheng was training hard in the mountains with General Shi, saying he wanted to pass the military exam as soon as possible so he could achieve great things in the future and avenge you. My mother-in-law fainted from tears when she heard about you, and she's still not fully recovered. I just returned from the capital and have been anxious to find you, so I haven't had time to visit her in Banyan Tree Village."

Song Yuntang nodded, "Have my second brother and second sister-in-law gotten married?"

"After something like this, how could he still have the heart to get married?" Xu Qingye glanced at her, "Second brother said he would wait for you for at least a full year before considering marriage."

Song Yuntang's eyes turned red as he laughed.

I thought not many people would be sad about her departure, but I didn't expect that there were still people who remembered her.

"Now that I'm home, everything can get back on track."

Xu Qingye hummed.

"This will never happen again!"

Song Yuntang looked at him again, "How did you know I was still alive? I heard from Lin Jingyao that he put my clothes on Lin Zhaozhao in an attempt to confuse people."

"I heard from Xia Ning that they found you in a cave. I felt something was amiss, so I led Coroner Xu to the cave under the cliff, hoping you might still be alive." Xu Qingye held her hand tightly and said, "Luckily, it wasn't you."

……

The journey from Hongjiang City to Anyang County was long. As Song Yuntang was pregnant, she did not dare to drive the carriage too fast. When they encountered a town on the way, they got off the carriage to fill their stomachs. After a short rest, they set off again. They arrived home after noon.

Not long after Song Yuntang got on the carriage, he began to feel sleepy. He slept very soundly on Xu Qingye and only woke up a quarter of an hour before the carriage arrived in Anyang County.

Seeing the carriage stop, Xu Qingye got off first.

At this time, the elders of the Xu family heard the noise and were all waiting at the door, including Mrs. Hu who had been ill for many days.

At this moment, he was leaning on a crutch, supported by his uncle and his wife, and looking intently in the direction of the carriage.

"Qingye, have you found Tang'er?" asked Jiang.

Song Yuntang lifted the car curtain behind Xu Qingye.

"Mom, I'm back."

Xu Qingye was worried that she would get bumped, so he picked her up and carried her down.

The moment Jiang saw the man, she kept wiping away her tears.

"I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back!" He then touched her arm, looked her up and down, and said distressedly, "You've lost weight."

Song Yuntang smiled faintly.

"I've been recuperating in a small mountain village for the past few days, and my parents are worried about me."

Xu Yongwang said, "Your safe return is more important than anything else."

"Your father is right." Jiang responded to Xu Yongwang's words while pulling her into the house. "It's hot outside. Let's talk inside first."

Xu Qingye was worried that Jiang Shi might not notice Song Yuntang's eye abnormality and cause her to stumble, so he hurried forward to support her other arm and whispered in her ear, "Tang'er, grandparents, uncle, and aunt are here too."

Song Yuntang reacted and looked at the other blurry figures with an apologetic look on his face.

"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, and aunt, I'm so sorry I didn't see the elders just now. I apologize for being rude."

Several people quickly said they didn't mind.

Only then did Jiang realize something was unusual and took her hand.

"Tang'er's eyes..."

Song Yuntang looked at the blurry shadow in front of him. "It's not a big problem. It's just that I'm pregnant and it's not convenient to take medicine. I can recover completely through treatment later."

Everyone understood. No wonder she didn't see it just now. It turned out that her eyes were injured.

When I looked at her bulging belly again, I felt even more heartbroken.

"How many months is it?" asked Mrs. Hu.

Song Yuntang smiled and said, "Grandma, in ten days it will be nine months."

Mrs. Hu was kindhearted. She looked at the thin girl and couldn't help but burst into tears. "Look at what a tormented girl you are. She's almost full-term pregnant, but her belly is still so small."

Zhang was busy stroking her back to comfort her.

"Mom, some women don't show their bellies when they're pregnant. We only knew she was pregnant when the daughter-in-law of Cuiying's family at the end of the village called the midwife when she was giving birth."

Song Yuntang also smiled and said, "Aunt is right. My pregnancy is relatively far back so my belly is not noticeable. The baby is healthy now, so there is no need to worry, grandma."

Jiang looked at her.

"How did Tang'er fall off the cliff before? Why did someone appear in the cave wearing the same clothes as you?"

Song Yuntang said, "That was Lin Zhaozhao. She pushed me from behind, and I quickly pulled her down with me. I also let her cushion my body, which protected me and the child. I only injured my arm and eye, and it took a while for them to recover."

She didn't tell her family about Lin Jingyao.

Xu Qingye knew about this matter, so he just had to trust her. If other people knew about it, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

After hearing this, Mrs. Hu's face was filled with excitement.

"That vicious woman, rest in peace after her death! She was living a life of luxury and wealth, but she was always thinking of harming others."

Now that the boat has passed through thousands of mountains and returned home, Song Yuntang felt a lot more relaxed.

"I'm actually fine. Although the conditions outside aren't as good as at home, I haven't treated myself badly. But grandma, how are you feeling lately?"

Mrs. Hu's face was full of kindness.

"Seeing you makes me feel better."

Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang quickly stood up from her seat.

"I forgot the time while chatting. I have to go cook."

Seeing this, Zhang also stood up and followed her to the backyard, "Sister-in-law, let me help you."

Xu Yuande looked at Xu Qingye.

"How many days has Qingye been back from the capital?"

"Including today, it's five days." Xu Qingye replied.

Now that his grandson's wife has been found, his great-grandson is about to be born, and his grandson is also promising, Xu Yuande's face is beaming.

"Yesterday, the announcer went to the village to deliver the announcement. It was quite a grand ceremony, attracting people from the neighboring villages. We only found out yesterday that you won the top prize. Your grandmother happened to be in poor health recently, so we asked your father and uncle and aunt to lead us to Anyang County. Who knew that when we got here, your mother told us that Tang'er was still alive. You have been looking for news about her for a few days, so we waited here together."

Xu Qingye glanced in Song Yuntang's direction and said nothing.

Getting her back is more important than anything else.
