“Mother…” Xue Yan, Yu Hongyan, Li Hehua, and Xue Yifu all looked at Liu Guixia with worry.
“Oh…” Jiang Yue’s eyes were filled with worry.
Liu Guixia quickly wiped her reddened eyes and smiled at Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, and the rest, “I’m fine, I’m fine.”
Immediately, she said to Liu Guisheng, “Guisheng, as your sister, I’ll say something from the bottom of my heart. No one knows better than me what kind of people you and Mother are. I used to think that without a parental family, a woman would definitely be bullied by her in-laws, so it’s better to have a parental family. Your parental family can at least support you a little, so I’ve been tolerating you and giving in to you. It was only until the day you drove us back that I realized that there’s nothing good about having a parental family like yours.”
Since she had already said this, Liu Guisheng stopped pretending. “Liu Guixia, you’ll regret this!”
“Tsk,” Yu Hongyan immediately snorted. “You’re the one who’s regretting it now. Our family’s life is getting better and better. Anyone who sees it would be jealous. No wonder you came.”
Liu Guisheng was furious.
“Good! Good!” Liu Guisheng was so angry that he couldn’t say anything else. He only said clapped in anger, then turned his head and left. When he left the courtyard, he angrily slammed the courtyard door, making a loud bang.
Seeing that he had left in anger, Yu Hongyan immediately smiled at Liu Guixia. “Mother, are you okay?”
“You’ve good a good mouth,” Liu Guixia said with a smile.
“I don’t know how you did that,” Li Hehua said with a smile.
Liu Guixia smiled and said, “You and Hongyan have different personalities. Why are you comparing yourself to her? She’s my daughter-in-law anyway, and dote on all of you.”
“That’s right, we’re not friends. We’re family.” Yu Hongyan chimed in with a smile.
Everyone was extremely harmonious.
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue both felt much better after the man left.
“Alright, alright. It’s time to take the ox cart. Don’t wait for Tian to call you. Hurry up and go.” Liu Guixia urged with a smile.
“We’ll be going then.” Xue Yan and the others said.
“We’ll be leaving then.” Jiang Yue said.
“Good, good.” Liu Guixia was all smiles.
Before Jiang Yue and the rest could reach the village entrance, Tian waved his whip and smiled at them, “I was just about to call you guys. We have enough people now, so we can go. Chop chop.”
There were more people than the last time Jiang Yue and Xue Yan sat on the ox cart. Li Hehua held Jiang Yue in her arms to prevent her from being squashed.
Xue Yifu sat at the outermost position, protecting Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Li Hehua so that no one would fall off the ox cart when it jolted.
By the time they reached the town, Li Hehua’s legs were already numb.
Xue Yifu helped her down and found a place to sit down.
Jiang Yue massaged Li Hehua’s legs with her two small hands.
Li Hehua’s heart almost melted when she saw Jiang Yue’s expression.
Xue Yan went to the front to have a look, then came back and said, “Let’s take the alley in front and take a detour. It’s shorter than the other roads.”
Jiang Yue and the others weren’t as familiar with the town as Xue Yan, so they naturally followed whatever Xue Yan said.
When Li Hehua’s legs were no longer numb and she could walk, she got up and wanted to follow Xue Yan to the clinic. However, at the same time, she subconsciously wanted to carry the little Jiang Yue.
Although Jiang Yue was no longer repulsed by Li Hehua, Li Hehua had been carrying her all the way here for fear that she would fall. She did not want Li Hehua to be so tired, so she said, “You don’t have to carry me. I can walk.”
