Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 387 Their family met a good person to help them

When Aunt Su He heard this, she quickly stepped forward and bowed to the old lady, saying thank you: "Auntie, we really met a good person, thank you so much. I hope you won't trouble your family! If that happens, it would be very wrong of us."

The old lady said kindly, "When you are away from home, everything is difficult. Since we have met, it is fate. Usually my eldest son and I live in our yard and look after the shop. If you don't mind, you can stay for one night!"

Aunt Su He asked the children to come over and thank grandma, and the whole family expressed their gratitude to the old lady together. The children all shouted in unison, thanking grandma, and they were very grateful for the old lady's kindness.

They drove into the spacious yard. The children were very perceptive and helped to clean up the two rooms, stacking the original things neatly to one side.

They spread out their things on the floor and prepared to sleep on it. At this time, the old lady came over and pointed to the long bench in the gatehouse and asked them to move it into the house, take down the door panel and put it on the bench so that they could sleep on it.

The old lady was really kind. She came over and asked them to send someone to go with her to get some firewood for cooking later.

The old lady asked them to go to the back of the wall and pick some vegetables to eat while they were carrying the firewood. These were all grown at home, so they could eat as much as they wanted.

Aunt Su He kept saying, "We met some good people today. We have been worried and frightened these past few days, and we haven't felt at ease for a single day. It seems that there are still many good people. We have met some in the village and town."

Xiu also nodded. It was because of her that her family almost lost their reputation. She always felt guilty. If it wasn't absolutely necessary, she would never let her family suffer.

So these days, she has been working harder so that she can feel better. Sometimes she really wants to destroy her face so that her family can be safer.

Her brothers were very kind to her. She was the only girl in the family, and the whole family spoiled her since she was young. Because of this, she could stay at home and do embroidery work without having to work in the fields often.

The little girl grew up like this, not exposed to the sun and wind, with fair and tender skin, and looked prettier than other girls in the village. That day, she went to the town with her mother to buy things, and was seen by that bastard. He then found out that the villagers wanted to marry her.

This was really an unexpected disaster. She just went out for a trip and brought such great suffering to the family. Fortunately, there was still this far away grandma's house to take shelter from the disaster, otherwise the family would not know where to escape to.

Some of the family members set up their beds, some started cooking, and ate early to have a good night's rest so that they could set off early tomorrow. After all, it was embarrassing to disturb them for a long time, and I was very grateful for making things convenient for them.

Aunt Su He brought her daughter and daughter-in-law together to make some more cakes, which they would have to eat on the road. They didn't know where they would live in the future, so if it was inconvenient, they could only eat dry cakes to fill their stomachs.

Take out the rice paste and cook a pot of rice, put the landlord's vegetables in it, which can be used as both rice and vegetables. Everyone ate the pancakes in silence, worked hard to eat, and the whole family ate well.

After dinner, the women and children all lay down on their beds to sleep. The younger men lay down on the grass-covered ground, while the older men spread out their blankets and slept there.

It didn't take long before everyone fell into a deep sleep. We were exhausted today and finally could lie down to rest. Everyone felt sleepy. Besides, this was the first time we lived in a house after being released. With four walls around us, we felt at ease.

The family said they were leaving early the next day. When they opened their eyes, it was already bright. The adults hurriedly woke up the children. They got up and washed up. The women made a simple and quick meal like the night before.

Aunt Su He and her husband went to say goodbye to the host family, while the others fixed the door and cleaned the place. They moved their belongings onto the mule cart and waited for them in the yard.

The old lady asked them kindly: "Did you have a good rest yesterday? Don't be in such a hurry to travel. It's okay to rest well before traveling."

Aunt Su He said hurriedly, "We slept well last night. Thank you for taking us in."

Then they took out the silver they had prepared and handed it over. Even though the other party didn't want it, their family had no choice but to give it.

The old lady grimaced and pretended to be angry and said, "Did I take you in for money? I let you live here because I saw that your family is having a hard time and your children are young. I don't want any money."
