[Marriage first, love later] She is happy after marrying a widower

Chapter 220 Girlfriend's Casual Chapter

Song Yanzhi took their hands and asked them to sit closer. "Sister-in-law, Sister Cui is a good sister I met in the capital. I was very grateful for her care along the way back to the village. If it weren't for her, I don't know how difficult it would have been for me to endure this journey."

She was filled with gratitude. With Cui Jingshu by her side, the journey was much smoother. Seeing the two of them getting along so harmoniously, her smile deepened.

Su suddenly understood and nodded, "So that's how it is. Thank you for your hard work, Sister Jingshu. If you're not used to living here, please tell me and I'll find a way to make you comfortable."

They chatted for a while about family matters. Su couldn't help but be curious. She asked with concern, "Yanzhi, how have you been doing outside these past few years? I've been extremely curious for a long time."

The room was warm, the charcoal fire was crackling, and everyone's faces were slightly flushed.

"These past few years have been truly difficult to describe."

Song Yanzhi said this and let out a long sigh.

"That year, Heming and I took the children and fled Hongya Village and went to Hongshi Town. Heming's brothers took us to Hankou, and then we traveled all the way to Jiangnan.

We bought some land and a house there, and I started a food business. Through all the hardships, I raised several children to adulthood."

As Song Yanzhi spoke, she gently smoothed the corner of her clothes, as if trying to sort out those chaotic memories. "When we arrived in Jiangnan, we were unfamiliar with the place, but we had to go on with our lives. We emptied out all our savings and bought a piece of mountain land and a small house, so we could at least have a place to call home. I figured, since I can cook, I might as well start a business."

At the beginning, I encountered obstacles everywhere. I worked from dawn to dusk and was so tired that my bones were almost falling apart. It was only through this step by step that I was able to raise these children. "

At this point, Song Yanzhi raised her head, her eyes filled with guilt, and looked at Su: "Sister-in-law, you just asked about Ah Jiu and Tuan Tuan, I... I have to tell you the truth, they are not actually Heming's children. We deceived you back then, and I'm really sorry."

Su was holding a teacup to drink tea, but when she heard this, her hand shook violently and the tea almost spilled out. Her eyes widened instantly: "What? They are not Heming's children?" She put the teacup down heavily, leaned forward, and asked anxiously, "Then whose children are they?" Back then, when she saw Ajiu and Tuantuan, she was sure that they were Han Heming's illegitimate children outside. She had been angry with Han Ming for this matter a lot. Now that she heard the truth out of the blue, how could she not be surprised.

Song Yanzhi bit her lip and whispered, "They are Uncle Heming's grandsons. Sister-in-law, you know something about Heming's family. His mother was originally a princess in poverty. Later, his uncle came to live with her, and Heming lived there for a few years. That year, his family suffered a sudden change, and only these two children were left. But because of their special status, I was afraid of getting in trouble if I told you, so I kept it a secret from you. Please don't be angry with me."

Su frowned, trying to recall the gossip her mother-in-law had said before, and suddenly slapped her thigh: "Are you saying that Ajiu and Tuantuan are the prince's grandsons?" Her voice unconsciously rose, full of disbelief.

Song Yanzhi nodded silently. Su stood up in shock and paced back and forth in the room: "Oh my God, this is terrible! So they are back in the capital now?" This village is very remote. No one knew that the emperor had changed. Everyone was worried about the harvest in the fields and food and drink at home all day long.

"Yes, I'm back to the capital." Song Yanzhi replied softly.

"You just said that you settled down in Jiangnan, and then mentioned that you came back from the capital. Did you send Ajiu and Tuantuan to the capital before returning to your hometown?" Su stopped and stared at Song Yanzhi with burning eyes.

"I guess so." Song Yanzhi was a little helpless. There were too many complicated things to explain in a short time, so she could only nod vaguely.

"Your parents also went to the capital. Did you meet them?" Su remembered something else. A few days ago, there was a rumor in the village that a luxurious carriage came from the capital and took Song Yanzhi's parents away.

"I did."

If it weren't for me, they would never have been able to go to the capital in their lifetime. Her sister-in-law, the princess, is not easy to get along with. It is impossible for her to think of taking the old couple to the capital.

Song Yanzhi's eyes dimmed and she said nothing. She didn't want to mention her brother, and even less did she want to talk about the fact that her parents had followed her to the place of exile. She had long since disowned such cruel family members.

Su's face was full of concern and love.

She gently raised her hand, patted Song Yanzhi's slightly thin shoulders tenderly, and said softly: "Yanzhi, it has been so difficult for you to come this far! You have tasted all kinds of hardships.

Fortunately, you have finally returned safely. From now on, just live a peaceful life in our village. All the ups and downs are over now."

Hearing Su's thoughtful words, Song Yanzhi couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart. She tried hard to move the corners of her mouth and forced a faint smile in response.

"Sister-in-law, I will accept your good words.

By the way, I wonder where Brother Han Ming and his children are now?

Bring your family to my place for dinner tonight. It's been several years since we've been able to get together and chat and reminisce about the past. I really miss you all."

Su raised her head slightly, a faint smile bloomed on her face, and she said softly: "Han Ming and our eldest brother went to the neighboring village to work two days ago!

There's a family there who's getting married next year and needs some new furniture made. They've asked the father and son to hurry up and work. If they work harder, they can earn a little extra money. As for our little girl, she keeps complaining about missing her grandmother, so I'm going to ask her to pack up and stay with my mother for a few days, so she can spend some time with her and relieve her boredom.

Hearing this, Song Yanzhi quickly reached out and took Su's hand, smiling brightly, and said enthusiastically, "Oh, sister-in-law, you must come to my house for dinner tonight no matter what!

I've already ordered the kitchen to prepare some excellent dishes this morning, including fish, meat, and fresh vegetables, all of which I guarantee will be my sister-in-law's favorites. "Then we can enjoy the delicious food while chatting about family matters and sharing our inner thoughts. How pleasant it will be!"

Su patted her hands and responded readily, "Then I won't be polite. I also have a lot to say to you." At this time, the cold wind whistled past the window, making the window paper rustle, but it could not blow away the warmth in the house.

In the evening, Song Yanzhi's family set up a banquet, and a group of people drank and chatted until late at night before leaving.

The cold moonlight hangs on the roof of the new house, gently shining on the earth and sprinkling in this new and hopeful house.
