"Girl, are Qingxiang and the others with you?" Han Lixia eagerly looked at Su Yuanyuan.
"Yes, they are with me at the same farm. Uncle, Aunt, I came over because they wanted me to tell you that they are managing fine there. So you don’t have to worry about them anymore."
Su Yuanyuan could see the couple both visibly relaxed.
She heard from Zhao Yanli about the reasons why they left.
In fact, it boiled down to the couple having hurt the children’s hearts. Maybe they had no choice back then, but when the opportunity arose, the five siblings left.
There’s no way for outsiders to say who’s right or wrong in this affair.
"Girl, is it tiring over there?"
Su Yuanyuan was taken aback, not expecting Zhao Tian to ask such a question.
"Uncle, you’ve worked on the farm your whole life, you should know if it’s tiring or not. Among the five siblings, only Zhao Qingxiang and Zhao Qingjie are earning a salary.
There, you get a donkey to use if you farm a hundred acres. So they got a hundred and fifty acres to work on."
The Zhao family had twenty acres back in the village, tended by their family of seven. Now, with just five of them doing so much work, how could the couple not feel distressed?
"Uncle, Aunt, I have other things to attend to. I’ll leave now, they’re doing well, and once the hardships pass in a few years, they’ll be even better off." With that, she took out twenty yuan and handed it to Han Lixia.
The couple were both inarticulate people, though they had many questions for Su Yuanyuan, they didn’t know where to start.
So they just watched her leave.
This is the off-season for farming. During this time, diligent families are busy with various tasks at home. Most families lie down after breakfast.
Su Daqiang and his wife were among them. This year, the village distributed firewood, though it’s the same as last year, it’s not like you can burn as much as you want. But it’s still warmer and more comfortable than outside.
Su Yuanyuan and Tan Shaoting left Zhao Tian’s house.
"Shall we go up the mountain?"
"Let’s tell them we’re leaving first."
The two of them directly went to Yang Hongwen’s house.
He wasn’t home, and Su Yuanyuan said with a smile to Xu Chunjiao, "Aunt, we’re leaving now. If there’s another chance in the future, I’ll come back to see you."
"Leaving already? Stay for lunch before you go. I’ll make dumplings for you; I’ve already prepared everything."
At this juncture, how could Su Yuanyuan stay for the meal?
"Aunt, we’re really leaving, there’s still something we must attend to. Don’t let my uncle be too selfless."
Xu Chunjiao understood what Su Yuanyuan meant: she was worried he would give their food to others.
Xu Chunjiao nodded, "I know, with four boys at home, they eat more than pigs. Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t."
Su Yuanyuan chuckled at Xu Chunjiao’s description when Yang Xiubo came in, and hearing his mother’s words, Su Yuanyuan felt like he had black lines all over his face.
"Aunt, we’re leaving now."
Xu Chunjiao felt reluctant, everyone said this child had a hard life, but after spending time with this girl, she knew that she was a kind-hearted, blessed person.
The two of them then went to Hu Chunhua’s house, exchanged some words, and left pulling a cart.
Su Yuanyuan was very familiar with going up the mountain; she didn’t want to see Su Daqiang’s family. So she took Tan Shaoting up the mountain on another path.
At this moment, Su Liangliang received news that the harbinger of doom had returned. Thus, he hurried home.
"Mom and Dad, the harbinger of doom is back. Xiaoriver told me he saw her coming out of Zhao Tian’s house."
Tian Xiaohua was stunned, "That wretched jinx is back?"
"Xiaoriver and a few others saw her coming out of Zhao Tian’s house, saying she probably went to the team leader’s house."
Tian Xiaohua jumped up, slipping on her shoes, and stormed out.
Su Daqiang also got up from the kang. He knew Tian Xiaohua wouldn’t have anything good, but he also wanted to see how that girl was doing. So he got up and went out too.
They arrived at Yang Hongwen’s house, "Sister-in-law, where’s that harbinger of doom?"
Right now, Xu Chunjiao despised Su Daqiang’s family, "What does it have to do with you? You’ve cut ties with her. I heard about it. At her age, going to Jiangbei is not appropriate. If trouble arises, you three had better go to Jiangbei."
Su Daqiang stopped the still-speaking Tian Xiaohua, really a brainless fool. She obviously isn’t here anymore.
Su Liangliang ran in again at this moment, "Mom and Dad, the harbinger of doom went to the women’s director’s house."
Xu Chunjiao coldly snorted, not wanting to deal with the Su Daqiang family. Who knows what they wanted with Su Yuanyuan? Certainly nothing good.
She was a bit worried, so she also headed to Hu Chunhua’s house.
When she arrived, Hu Chunhua was scolding their family.
Xu Chunjiao was relieved. As Su Daqiang hurriedly left, the two of them gathered, "Lucky we didn’t keep that girl here, otherwise it would have caused trouble for her."
That’s what both of them were thinking.
Su Daqiang’s family of three chased her out of the village, knowing she was bound to head towards the county, so they pursued in that direction.
Meanwhile, Su Yuanyuan and the others had already passed the pine forest.
"Did you really hunt wild boar here before?"
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Of course, it was because of these wild boars and wolves that I managed to survive."
The two found some winter melon along the way, but they were all frozen now. This was because the villagers hadn’t come up the mountain.
It’s just one of those things. Not coming was also good. It meant safety.
They arrived at the place where Su Yuanyuan first hunted a wild boar. It was still the same as when she first arrived, overgrown with weeds.
"This is where I hunted my first wild boar. I was asleep at the time. If it weren’t for the good weapon in my hand, I might have ended up here."
"Yes, you’ll see today when we encounter the wildlife."
Tan Shaoting held Su Yuanyuan’s hand. A wild boar was coming over from that side, five of them, probably here to eat the winter melon, which was planted too densely here.
Su Yuanyuan also sensed them, a smile of excitement spreading across her face.
"I’ll show you it in a bit."
Tan Shaoting looked at her in her smug, cheerful state, finding it quite endearing.
The two waited there, with Su Yuanyuan enthusiastically pulling out a chocolate cake to eat. She didn’t offer any to Tan Shaoting, as he didn’t like the taste, but she handed him two tea eggs.
The two waited there, waiting for the wild boars to start eating to approach them.
Tan Shaoting sensed Su Yuanyuan’s excitement. Does she so much?
Last time, the game they got abroad was all turned in. He hadn’t seen her eat it. Is it a personal hobby? It was quite incredible.
Su Yuanyuan finished her cake, took out two cups of milk, drank them, and then slowly headed in the direction of the wild boars.
