Chapter 21 Go Visit Her Parents
They did not hurry on their way, so it was already eleven o'clock in the morning when they got back to the Daxing village.
She just left here for three days, but why did she feel that she had been away for many years?
Wu Xiyuan, who took her hand, asked, "Dear, can't you find your way home?"
Su Jiuyue come back to her senses and replied, "Of course I can!"
They walked towards the Su family. When the locals encountered them, they looked at them curiously.
"Jiuyue is back?"
Rumor had it that Su Jiuyue was sold by her parents. How come she was back?
And then they looked at the man beside her. They walked side by side holding hands and carrying a full basket. It didn't look like she was sold and escaped back.
On the contrary, she seemed to visit her parents.
"Jiuyue? Where have you been? How come I haven't seen you for a few days?"
Su Jiuyue knew the person who was asking her as they were in the same village. She took Wu Xiyuan's hand nervously.
Wu Xiyuan said, "She's my wife, and she was at my house!"
Mrs Yang was stunned, not expecting that Jiuyue had got married.
She wanted to ask for further details, but Su Jiuyue dragged Wu Xiyuan away.
The Su family had a hard time in the past three days. The three children were brought by Su Jiuyue, so they had a good relationship with her. When she got married, the three kids were unhappy.
With the food given by the Wu Family, they didn't need to worry about what to eat, however, Mrs. Zhang, Su Jiuyue's mother, often sat on the steps in the yard and wept when she was not busy. When the three kids saw she weeping, they would cry together.
Su Daniu was upset. When he saw that they were crying, he was annoyed and smashed the tea bowl on the ground, shouting angrily, "What are you crying for! I'm still alive! Whoever cries again is not allowed to have food today!"
Just as Su Jiuyue came to the gate, she heard the curse of "no food" coming from the yard.
She was startled and trembled all over.
Wu Xiyuan was also shocked. He came up to Su Jiuyue and said in a low voice, "Dear, your father is so mean. Did he seldom give you food?"
Su Jiuyue shook her head and replied, "It's not the case. Let's go in."
Before they went into the house, Ms. Zhang had seen them through the fence.
She didn't think she would ever see her daughter again. She had been feeling guilty for selling her child, and she was scourged by her conscience.
"Jiuya!" she shouted.
The noisy courtyard became quiet because of her shout.
Her shout plunged the noisy yard into silence. Everyone look over. Su Jiuyue and Wu Xiyuan was hand in hand now, and when she saw the curiosity on her younger siblings' face toward them, she felt a little embarrassed.
She tried to take her hand back, but Wu Xiyuan refused to let go of her.
Ms. Zhang stood up, patted the dirt off her, wiped the tears away from her face, and hurriedly walked over. "Jiuyue? Why are you back?" asked Ms. Zhang.
While she said that, her eyes fell on Wu Xiyuan. "Is this your husband?"
Seeing that people coming and going looked towards them, Jiuyue nodded and said, "Well, mother, let's get in the house."
Ms. Zhang came back to her senses and said, "Yes. I'm so happy that I forgot to let you in. Let's go back first."
