“Just leave like this. Why don’t you stay for a few more days?”
Mrs. Li Xu prepared the local specialties sent by the villagers early in the morning for the brother and sister. She couldn’t help muttering to herself.
Before, she was so happy that she forgot to ask the brother and sister whether they would stay here or leave after a while.
She selfishly thought of the former, but she knew in her heart that based on the financial resources and power of the family that took Ah Wu away, they would not allow their daughter to live in the countryside for a long time, especially since Ah Wu was still at the age of marriage.
However, Mrs. Li Xu guessed wrong about this point, but in the end, they ended up in the same way. From the beginning, Yu Yan and his sister had no intention of staying in Xiaoxi Village for a long time.
Yu Yan’s condition was still a hidden danger after all. Mrs. Li Xu was not the only elder in the village who knew that he sold himself to the palace. Now the villagers pitied him and naturally would not use this incident to poke his scar.
But there is no secret that lasts forever. No one can guarantee that one day an elder who knows the secret will let it slip, allowing his descendants to hear the news and eventually spread it.
Young boys and girls with unstable minds and ignorant children are most likely to say hurtful words out of impulse or for fun, and no one can guarantee that there will be no conflicts between the two sides in their daily interactions in the future.
If someone blurts out ‘you dead eunuch’ at that time, it will be enough to tear open the wound that Ah Wu had carefully cared for for many years and had finally healed.
She knew how proud and how inferior her brother was.
Even though everyone in the village was friendly now, and there was no sign of the things she was worried about, she didn’t dare to bet on the one in ten million possibilities.
Therefore, Xiaoxi Village will only be a beautiful memory of her and her brother’s childhood.
If there is a chance in the future, they will still come to visit these amiable elders, but they will not live in this place for a long time.
Ah Wu wanted to accompany her brother to see the beautiful scenery in the world and then choose a place that the brother and sister like most to live temporarily.
In the new place, they will meet new friends, and no one will know the past of the brother and sister.
This is the best choice for them.
What’s more, the brother and sister now have another secret.
“Aunt, my brother and I will come to visit you in the future.”
This time, the stay was a little shorter than expected, and Ah Wu felt a little sorry.
“Okay, just don’t bring so many things next time. You can’t waste money like that. There will be many places to spend money in the future when you have children.”
Mrs. Li Xu smiled and patted the hands of the two children.
Both of these children are good people who only remember kindness and not grudges. If they were more extreme, they would probably have blamed the villagers for standing by and not helping to collect the money that Mrs. Yu owed with high interest.
However, Xiao Yan and Xiao Wu were able to understand the villagers’ difficulties and helplessness and were grateful for the support they had given them in their daily lives over the years.
This time, the brother and sister came back with a lot of things, including exquisite pastries that the country folks had rarely tasted and brightly colored cotton fabrics suitable for villagers to wear when visiting relatives and friends.
Everyone got a share. The Li family and the Village Chief’s family, who helped the brother and sister the most, gave a few more.
Don’t underestimate it because it’s just cotton. For the villagers, it is a higher-grade than linen. Like silk and satin, country folks can’t wear it out at all. It is the most thoughtful thank-you gift that the gift giver has carefully thought about, and it is definitely not a scam.
Therefore, after learning that the brother and sister were leaving, everyone sent local specialties for the brother and sister to take back to the capital.
After packing up several large baskets of local gifts, Ah Wu and his brother got on the carriage they came from.
At this time, a two or three-year-old child was sleeping in the carriage. He was skinny, but he had just taken a bath and changed into clean clothes. He looked somewhat adorable.
It didn’t know what delicious food he dreamed of. The child sucked his fingers, and the dimples at the corners of his mouth were faintly visible.
“Brother, we have a child.”
Ah Wu carefully touched the child’s cheek with her fingers.
Yu Yan was relatively restrained, with a calm expression, and responded in a low voice.
‘Our’ child!
Listening to his sister’s words, Yu Yan’s eyes became softer as he looked at the little boy in the carriage.
