six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 275

After tidying up the fourth and fifth houses of the Cao family, those in other clans stopped thinking about giving Cao Kui their step-heir.Chen's and the others' life completely calmed down, and the mood was relaxed and joyful, and people naturally became cheerful. Entering the cold winter, Chen's stomach quickly inflated like a balloon.

Since Mrs. Chen became pregnant, the month was getting older. In order to allow her to concentrate on raising the baby, Su Liu consciously entrenched in Cao's house and took the initiative to help Mrs. Chen take over most of the donations. Therefore, there was no need to worry about trivial matters. Chen's breath also got better.

On this day, Su Liu had just finished dealing with the matter of giving New Year's gifts to each family, and Shuang Ning hurriedly said that Ning Guang sent someone to send New Year's gifts.

"Hurry up and take a look at the list." Before Su Liu could speak, Chen said with a smile.

Shuang Ning responded, then handed over another annual gift list, and then a letter, covering her mouth and snickering.

Su Liu glared at her, but couldn't hide her joy, opened the letter and read it slowly.

According to the letter, Ning Guang has captured the three cities of the Northern Kingdom and led the army to the hinterland of the Northern Kingdom. If there is no accident, the war will end next year at most.

Seeing this, Su Liu exclaimed, her heart beat wildly, she bit her lip and continued to read.

Knowing that Mrs. Chen is pregnant, besides most of the presents for Su Liu, there are also many furs for this year's ceremony. Among them is a piece of mink, which Ning Guang hunted in the snowfields of the northern country when he was free, and gave it to Ms. Chen Good for capes, stuff like that.

Ning Guang was not a mother-in-law, so the letter didn't say too much about how he was or whether he was injured, but Su Liu knew that if he didn't say anything, injuries were inevitable on the battlefield.

At the end of the letter, there are still three words: I miss you!
Pressing the letter to her chest, Su Liu's eyes were slightly wet, and she cursed in a low voice: Damn, it makes me want to cry every time.

"What's the matter? But what's the matter with Ning Guang?" Chen asked.

Su Liu pressed the corners of her eyes hastily, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the sand blinds my eyes."

Mrs. Chen clicked her tongue reproachfully, then held up the list in her hand and said, "Come and see, this kid has brought a lot of things."

Su Liu took the list, glanced at it roughly, and said: "He is also filial, he specially greeted you, and specially gave you this mink."

"It's hard for him." Mrs. Chen was also very happy, and said with a smile: "The others don't care about him, as long as he comes back safely early, I will be satisfied."

Su Liu smiled, returned the list to Shuang Ning, and said: "You go and pick out some good leathers to make a cloak for Mrs. Madam, and then choose a few to send to the Song family." After thinking about it, she said: "That's all. , let’s put it aside for now, I will choose it myself, and put the rest of the big items into storage according to the specifications.”

"Yes, girl."

"Eldest sister, I heard that my brother-in-law is here to send a New Year gift?" Su Xiao quickly ran in.

"You little girl, you're about to grow old, and you're still so frizzy, what do you look like?" Mrs. Chen stared at her and said, "What a big girl's family, there is no time for people to see her when she is in good shape. I made a joke of you."

"Oh, mother, isn't there no outsiders here?" Su Xiaodu said, "You'll catch me and teach me a lesson, won't he just listen to my brother-in-law's New Year's ceremony and be happy."

"Can't you lose your share?" Chen said angrily.

"Sister." Su Xiao hurriedly asked Su Liu for help.

"Mother did not misunderstand you, Jiji is old, but she is an adult, so it's time to get engaged." Su Liu also laughed.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen nodded again and again, with a look of deep approval.

Su Xiao heard that her face was blushing, and said shyly, "I don't want it, I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry, besides, my eldest sister is not married yet."

"What's wrong with your elder sister?" Mrs. Chen stared at her fiercely, and said, "You should also learn some manners and manners, and mother doesn't expect you to be a lady of every family, nor can she. With this temperament, Don’t get too far away.”

Su Xiao stuck out her tongue, clasped her hands together and looked at Su Liu, begging for help!

Su Liu chuckled, changed the subject and said, "Where's Ye'er, didn't you go with me?"

When mentioning Chen Ye, Su Xiao sat down on the chair, and said with a sad face: "Who knows where he is, he is mysterious these days, and he doesn't know what to do?"

Chen frowned, and said: "Indeed, I see that child's preoccupation these days has eased a lot."

Su Liu frowned slightly when she heard this, thought for a while and said, "Maybe the studies are too cumbersome?"

A boy of twelve or thirteen and a half years old is in the rebellious period. Chen Ye's temperament is not rebellious, but because his experience is different from that of ordinary children, he is more sensible and calm than children of the same age. Such a person is more able to hide things in his heart .

"I think he's eccentric." Su Xiao snorted, obviously very dissatisfied with Chen Ye's recent performance.

"Okay, he's still a child, I'll talk to him when I'm free." Su Liu comforted him a few words, and diverted Su Xiao's attention with the New Year gift from Ning Guang.

I planned to talk to Chen Ye, but within two days, Su Liu and Chen Shi Cao Kui were talking about the preparations for the New Year, and Su Xiao returned home angrily, scolding Chen Ye for being ungrateful, etc. Chen Ye also chased him back.

"Father, mother, eldest sister, what's wrong with you being this person these days? Heh, it turned out that you have climbed a high branch and looked down on our family, and you don't look down on our status as merchants, women and peasants." Su Xiaozhi Seeing Chen Ye accusing loudly, his eye circles turned red as he spoke, and his red lips were tightly pursed, obviously very wronged and hurt.

Originally thinking that Chen Ye was not in a good mood these two days and seemed to be very worried, she planned to pick him up from school, and then go out with him to play together, so as to relax, but she went to the school , but saw him walking away in a hurry, and followed him out of curiosity.

Follow up, go to a certain inn, and see Chen Ye talking with a man, and listen closely, but she is shocked and inexplicable, this man is actually Chen Ye's biological father, who came to look for him, and Chen Ye, unexpectedly Planning to go back to his original home with his biological father.

"I would like to go back home with you."

Hearing Chen Ye's words, Su Xiao was stunned, as if a corner had been dug out of his heart, disappointed, sad, then angry, and flew into a rage on the spot.

Su Liu and the others, who were also confused at first, were astonished as if they had been struck by a thunderbolt when they heard Su Xiao's words. They looked at Chen Ye and were speechless.

I have always known that Chen Ye's origin is not simple, but I didn't know that he was the son of an official family. I also thought that one day Chen Ye might also recognize his ancestors, but after so many years, no one came to look for him, and Chen Ye didn't say anything. If they wanted to go back, they would take it for granted that Chen Ye would be part of their family for the rest of their lives.

But I never thought about it, it's not that I didn't come to look for it, it's just that the time didn't come.

"This, is this true?" Chen looked at Chen Ye in a daze and asked.

Chen Ye bit his lip, lowered his head, and knelt down in front of Mrs. Chen and the others with a plop.

Seeing this scene, what else is there to say, I am afraid that what Su Xiao said is true, Chen Ye really wants to go back to his original home.

With this realization, Chen's heart ached, her mind was a little blank, her body swayed, as if she wanted to faint.

"Mei Niang, Mei Niang." Sitting beside her, Cao Kui held her hand quickly.

Both Su Liu and Su Xiao were taken aback, and even Chen Ye looked at Mrs. Chen worriedly.

"Look at you, you are so angry with my mother. My mother treats you like a parent and child, and my sister and I also treat you as a brother. We will never forget you if there is anything delicious and useful. This is how you repay us. What?" Su Xiao saw that Chen's face was not good-looking, so she was so angry that she was about to run away immediately, pointing at Chen Ye and yelling: "Your father, did you treat you so well? Don't forget, back then you and your mother were together. The tragedy of the ruined temple, if it weren't for my sister and me, your mother's body would not be taken away, I guess you are also a little beggar now. You, you, now that someone says something nice to you and gives you two sweet things, you just go to hell Yes. Chen Ye, you are so capable, you are worthy of us! You unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!"

"Little." Chen yelled, "Stop talking nonsense."

Su Xiaoqi couldn't help it. Seeing that Chen Ye kept his head down and didn't refute or speak, he stomped his feet and said angrily, "Go as you want, I don't mind." After saying that, he ran out quickly.

Chen Ye's shoulders moved, and his hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists, but he still tried his best not to catch up.

"Xiaoxiao." Chen looked at Su Xiaobaoli's back, feeling a little worried.

"Don't worry, I'll go see someone, don't be too sad." Cao Kui patted the back of her hand, glanced at Chen Ye who was kneeling on the ground, pursed his lips and went out.

Chen Ye just remained motionless. Seeing her heartache, Chen's expression was complicated and inexplicable. She sighed and said, "Ye'er, get up and talk first."

Chen Ye still didn't move, Su Liu said: "Get up, mother's current body, I can't be angry." He just got up and stood aside with his head down.

"It's your father, are you sure?" Chen Shiyu asked gently.

Chen Ye raised his head slowly, looked at Mrs. Chen, and nodded.

Mrs. Chen forced a smile, and asked, "Do you really want to go back? Ye'er, but mother has neglected you recently? Don't worry, even if you have younger siblings, you are also mother's son."

"It's not like that, Mom, I don't look like I'm fighting for favor with my younger siblings, I know Mom treats me well." Chen Ye quickly explained.

"Then why are you..." Chen's eyes were slightly red, and finally he pursed his lips, and said, "Forget it, after all, that family is a magistrate, with such a family background, it will be easier for you to take the imperial examination in the future. It's better than being white like your mother, you can go back if you want."

Chen Ye opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, clenched his fists, lowered his head, and said, "Mother, you are my mother, and you will never change in this lifetime."

Chen showed a wry smile, and said: "Little, she has always been violent, I will tell her, don't blame her for being unscrupulous, she is so annoyed because she really thinks you are her own brother."

"I know." Chen Ye said in a low voice, the voice was so small that it was hard to hear.

Mrs. Chen sighed, and said: "Go ahead, I'm not very comfortable right now, let's talk about it later."

Chen Ye raised his head, his eyes were flushed, and finally just kowtowed and walked out.

"I can't keep what's not mine." Chen looked at his disappearing back, a tear rolled down from the corner of his eyes.
