Chapter 183 Xu Lian Returns Home

The matter was settled.

In the room, Xu Lian seemed a little absent-minded, as if she had something on her mind. She bit her lower lip and looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Su He looked at Xu Lian and tugged at her sleeve.

"what......"

Xu Lian was stunned for a moment and suddenly made a sound.

Everyone in the Su family looked in her direction. Xu Lian lowered her head in embarrassment, her face slightly hot.

"Xiao Lian, what's wrong with you?"

Old Mrs. Su thought she was not feeling well and asked hurriedly.

We have been busy with the autumn harvest these days, and Xu Lian has been going to the fields every day. Her little face has become quite tanned. Could she be sick?

Hearing everyone asking questions, Xu Lian waved her hands and explained:

“No…no.”

After a pause, he raised his head and smiled at everyone, and said softly: "I just... want to go home."

She had been at the Su family for quite some time and didn't know what the situation was like at home. Although her eldest and second uncles had been to Xujia Village several times, they had talked about the situation at their home when they came back.

However, it was the first time she had been away from home for so long, and she still felt a little homesick.

Moreover, this is the first autumn harvest after the separation. I wonder if all the crops in the fields at home have been harvested?

There were only three people in the Xu family, Xu Qingshan, Su Xiaoyun and Xu Yuan, busying around. There wasn't even anyone to cook, so they probably couldn't even have meals on time.

The Su family fell silent after hearing this. They knew that Xu Lian had been away from home for quite some time, so it was normal for her to miss home.

Besides, it is autumn harvest now, and the Su family has more manpower and can work faster. Xu Qingshan's family has only three people, and they have to dry the millet and cook.

Not only Xu Lian, but everyone in the Su family was also a little worried.

"Big brother, you two should send Xiaolian back tomorrow. When the time comes, you can help them with the work in the fields. If they haven't finished it yet, you can help them."

Old Man Su sighed and spoke softly.

How can I not love my own daughter? I have to help her out at least.

"Hey, we got it, Dad."

Su Dawu and Su Danian agreed immediately.

"Xiao Lian, let your uncle and your wife take you back tomorrow. If anything goes wrong with the Xu family in the future, come find us, and Grandpa will definitely take care of it for you."

Although the previous incident happened a long time ago, Old Man Su was still a little worried about the people from the Xu family. Even though the two families were separated by a wall, he was afraid that they would not give up.

Old Man Su gave Xu Lian a reassurance. Her eyes turned slightly red and she nodded at him continuously.

Old Mrs. Su was reluctant to part with Xu Lian. She hugged her and kept muttering to herself, somewhat reluctant to let her go.

In the end, it was Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo who comforted her for a few words. She then wiped her tears, stood up and said that she was going to pack some things for Xu Lian to take back.

"Cousin, let me tell you..."

Su He leaned over and whispered in Xu Lian's ear.

Xu Lian first widened her eyes, then nodded continuously, and finally looked at Su He with gratitude in her eyes.

The next day, Old Lady Su packed a full basket with things. While holding back her reluctance, she kept telling Xu Lian:

"There's a piece of pork in here. I'll cook it when I get home today and share it with your parents and my younger brother. There are also two pork shank bones. I'll make some soup to nourish you. The autumn harvest took a lot of effort. Don't save it. Do you understand?"

Old Mrs. Su was afraid that Xu Lian would take it back, so they were reluctant to eat it and kept telling others to do so out of concern.

"I also left some fabric for your father and mother to make new clothes."

Two sets were made for Xu Yuan last time, and Xu Lian also made two new sets for him during the time she was at the Su family. This time, she made them for Xu Qingshan and Su Xiaoyun first. The materials and colors were chosen by Su He according to their ages.

The backpack also contained some sweet potato flour, previously dried vegetables, some beans and the like.

They were all asked to be taken back by Xu Lian to eat together, and Old Mrs. Su had instructed everyone one by one.

"Okay, grandma, it's getting late. If we don't go back now, we'll be late."

Su He advised.

Now that the family has a ox cart, it is not difficult to go to Xujia Village. Every few days, Su Dawu and Su Danian will go to Xujia to collect duck eggs.

The Su family knows everything, and they are no longer in the dark like before.

Old Mrs. Su nodded, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and spoke to the three people.

"Okay, you guys should set off now. Don't waste time. If your little sister needs help, you two can stay overnight and come back tomorrow."

The three of them kept nodding to Old Lady Su. Even after they walked a long way away, Xu Lian kept looking back and waved to the people at the gate of the Su family's courtyard.

"Grandma, don't worry. We have dad and uncle. Life will be better for aunt and her family in the future."

Su He knew that Old Lady Su was worried about Su Xiaoyun's family. The Su family was poor in the past, and Su Xiaoyun only reported good news and not bad news, so she didn't know much about the situation in the Xu family.

After this quarrel, we realized that they have not had an easy life these years. They have finally divided the family business, so naturally they hope that their daughter will have a better life.

After hearing what Su He said, Old Mrs. Su nodded, then turned around and went back to the yard with everyone else.

Now that the Xu family has divided up, they have land and can earn some money by helping to collect duck eggs. Life must be pretty good. We'll know when Su Dawu and Su Danian come back.

Xujiacun.

Xu Lian followed her two uncles into Xujia Village and went straight back to the Xu family.

Xu Lian entered her own yard and looked at the newly built wall in front of her, which she saw for the first time. She felt inexplicably excited.

From now on, their family can really live their own lives behind closed doors. They no longer have to look at the faces of grandma, aunt, and cousin, nor do they have to listen to their orders.

"Xiao Lian, your parents are probably working in the fields. Let's put the things in the backpack away and go to the fields to check."

Su Dawu originally wanted to let Xu Lian rest at home, but they didn't know the way to the Xu family's land, so they had to let Xu Lian lead the way.

It’s better to put everything away first and then go out together.

Xu Lian nodded, and heard a creaky sound as the gate of her yard was pushed open.

Xu Lian raised her head and looked outside the door. When she saw the person coming clearly, she stepped back in fear.

Not only Xu Lian was startled, but the visitor also obviously didn't expect that there was someone in the yard.

The person who came was Old Lady Xu. She had thought that Xu Qingshan's family had gone to the fields and no one at home would want to come and see her, but she didn't expect to run into Xu Lian who had just returned.

Old Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to realize that it was Xu Lian who had returned.

It’s not that I can’t recognize her, but after the family split up, Xu Lian went to the Su family. I haven’t seen her for a few days, and Xu Lian’s appearance has changed a lot.

Not only was he wearing new clothes, but his face was no longer as thin and sallow as before. He had gained some flesh and looked much more rosy.
