When Madam Feng learned of this, she and her daughters immediately chased after them. "January, wait a minute! What are you doing? Why did you bring the bedding?"

"Second Aunt, I've stayed at your house long enough, and thank you for taking care of me. Now that my sister-in-law is in trouble, the house is in complete chaos, and I want to go back and help them."

"You are their daughter, and you want to go back to fulfill your filial duties. Your second aunt will not stop you, but we don't know if you have recovered your health yet. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it if you go back, since the conditions there are not as good as here."

You can leave your bedding at home, go over to take care of them during the day, and come back to sleep at night. Your second aunt can also cook you some good, nourishing food.

"Second Aunt, are you feeling sorry for this bedding?"

"No, no, why would your second aunt feel sorry for that quilt? She's just worried that you won't be used to living there."

"There's nothing I'm not used to or not used to. That's the home I grew up in, and I'm very familiar with everything there."

They say a dog doesn't mind a poor home, and a child doesn't mind an ugly mother. Those living there are all my family; they're in trouble now, if I don't help, who will?

"Since that's the case, your second aunt has nothing more to say. You've suffered a lot, so you must protect yourself."

"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. Please also convey my thanks to Uncle!"

My sister-in-law is waiting to take her medicine, and I need to hurry to town, so I won't keep you company any longer.

"Cousin, are you really leaving?"

"Ruyun, thank you and my cousins ​​for your concern and care. My mother is currently overwhelmed with many things; if I don't go back to help her, who will?"

"Cousin, take care!"

"Okay, take care, I'm leaving now."

Madam Feng walked to Liu Siyue's room and knocked on the door. "Siyue, Mother is coming in."

"Come in, Mother."

"April, did you have a fight with your older sister? I saw that she even brought her bedding; she looked very unhappy."

"It wasn't really an argument, was it? It was just a personal choice."

She wanted to take my things to make things convenient for the people in the old house, but I disagreed, so she was about to leave.

If she wants to leave, what reason do I have to stop her? She misses her mother, so let her go.

I've made it clear to my older sister that once she leaves this door today, she'll never be allowed to come back.

I told her there was no turning back once the arrow is released, but she still chose to leave.

As her sister, I believe I have done right by her, and I have a clear conscience.

I had originally bought her several acres of land and planned to build her a house. Even though we are sisters, I would feel at ease if I had something of my own.

Now it seems completely unnecessary.

"Aren't you worried that your older sister's body won't be able to handle it when she goes back in April, and that she'll get sick from overwork?"

"That's her own business, it has nothing to do with me. She wants to be filial to her parents and is trying to drag me into it. She can forgive others for the hurt they caused her, but I can't."

That's settled then. She's not allowed to come to the end of the village again.

"April, isn't this a bad thing to do? You two are sisters after all."

"There's nothing wrong with it. I've always been open and honest in my dealings, and I'm not afraid of what others might say."

"Sigh! How did the two sisters end up like this?"

"Mother, don't worry about these things. Yao'er wants to sleep. Take her to sleep. I want to be alone."

Don't call me for dinner either, I don't want to eat!

"Ru Xue, tomorrow morning Qingwu will take you to the county town. Listen and observe carefully, and think before you speak. It's not like home outside."

"I understand, April. I promise I won't cause you any trouble and I'll study hard."

Feng took the child away, and Liu Siyue closed the door and went into her space. She hadn't properly taken care of the space and found that there was another piece of land and an orchard.

There are no fruits on the tree yet, and we don't know what kind they are.

She now needs to cultivate chili seedlings and rice seedlings in the space.

When Laifu saw his aunt carrying luggage, he asked curiously, "Auntie, aren't we here to catch a horse-drawn carriage? Why are you carrying a quilt?"

"The carriages aren't home, so they're unusable."

The reason my aunt is carrying the bedding is because I won't be living here anymore; I'm going back home so I can take care of you all."

"That's great, my aunt is going to live at home."

"Without a carriage, what will happen to my mother's medicine? If we go to town now, the clinics will probably be closed."

"If we don't have a horse-drawn carriage, we can take an oxcart! Do you know which family in the village has an oxcart? We can hire one to take us to town."

"Grandpa Hu has an oxcart, I'll take you there."

"Okay, let's go home, put our things down, and then head over."

As Liu Yiyue walked along carrying the bedding, she pondered, "Why has my second sister become like this? She has no humanity at all. How could she be so indifferent in the face of a life-or-death situation?"

She preferred to recognize her second aunt as her mother, calling her "mother" every day and treating her like her own mother.

Her own mother was right in front of her, yet she ignored her and treated her like an enemy. How could she not understand the principle that blood is thicker than water?

With so many daughters, does her aunt really need another one? If she treated her parents the same way she treated her aunt and uncle's family, wouldn't they cherish her dearly? Why can't she understand this?

Back at the Liu family's old house, Liu Yiyue put her bedding in the room she had lived in before August. When Huang Lanhua saw her, she thought she had brought back the medicine. "Girl, you brought back the medicine? How much did it cost?"

"Mom, we haven't gone yet. I've brought my luggage back. We'll live at home from now on so I can take care of you."

Laifu and I plan to hire an oxcart now to go to town and get medicine.

"Okay, then you should hurry up and go, and come back as soon as possible."

Just then, Old Lady Liu rushed over. "Young lady, I heard you say you were going to hire an oxcart to go to town to get medicine, is that right?"

"Yes, Grandma, the horse-drawn carriage at the end of the village is not here, so we can only hire an oxcart. My sister-in-law's illness cannot be delayed."

"Alright, Grandma will go with you. I'm worried about the two of you going alone."

"Grandma, this oxcart will be bumpy all the way. You're too old to handle it. If you're really worried, I'll go find Uncle San and ask him to come with me."

Old Mrs. Liu was somewhat unwilling. She had her own plans for going to town, but after Liu Yiyue said that, she had no choice but to give up.

"Alright, you must go find your third uncle."

"Understood, Grandma."

Laifu took Liu Yiyue to Liu Daniu's house. "Auntie, this is Uncle San's house."

She pushed open the courtyard gate, which was still closed from the inside. "Third Uncle, Third Aunt, open the door! It's me, Yiyue."

"Why is it so early in January? Husband, go open the door."

Liu Daniu quickly walked a few steps and opened the door. "January, what brings you here? Come on in!"

"Third Uncle, I would like to ask you to come with me to town. We'll hire Grandpa Hu's oxcart."

"Why go to town so late? Can't you wait until tomorrow? If you wait until tomorrow, you won't have to spend extra money on transportation."

"I'm going to town to get medicine for my sister-in-law; I can't delay."

"Alright, I'll tell your third aunt, and we'll head over now."

Liu Daniu went back and told Ma Qiao'er, then left with Liu Yiyue.

They rented Grandpa Hu's oxcart for 20 coins, and Liu Daniu drove it to the town.

Liu Daniu drove the car very fast, making Liu Yiyue and Laifu's buttocks almost split in two from the bumpy ride.

Whoosh... The oxcart came to a stop. "We've arrived at Huichuntang. Hurry up and get off to get your medicine."

Liu Daniu watched the oxcart, while Liu Yiyue and Laifu went inside to get the medicine. The young pharmacist glanced at the prescription Liu Yiyue handed him and then at her clothes, concluding that she could afford the medicine.

Just to be on the safe side, the young apprentice went through the accounts first. "This lady, it's 18 taels and 5 mace of silver in total."
