After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 592 Determination
Aunt Jin took a leave of absence and hurried to the Jin family.

She had no time to think about why it was so difficult for her to go out on weekdays, but today she succeeded as long as she asked for leave. Her mind was full of the news told her by the person sent by Jin Jiashu.

The Hu brothers and sisters were rescued!
Although the Hu siblings were taken away by Jin Xin's family that day, it was not because Jin Liu valued the nephews so much that she would rather leave her elder sister-in-law behind to take them with her, but because they were young and good-looking, and could be sold in a place where no one knew them, and they could be worth a lot of money. Jin Xin and his wife sold them to a passerby in Lantian County, and originally thought that they would never see them again in this life. Unexpectedly, Jin Jiashu actually asked someone to rescue them, and planned to let them go back to her hometown in Zunhua Prefecture with her, and hand them back to the Hu family to raise them.

It is said that Mr. Hu has proven that he has never committed the crime of murdering his wife and has been released, but his health has deteriorated and it is impossible for him to have children. So he naturally treats Hu Yingyuan, his only son, differently. Even though they had a very ugly quarrel in the past, he will not refuse the return of his two children now.

Aunt Jin was in a complicated mood. Knowing that her own brother took away his wife's nephew but left behind her own sisters, she naturally felt bad. However, when she learned that the Hu family brothers and sisters were living a worse life than herself, she felt a little better. At least her brother and sister-in-law did not sell her, and they still had some affection for her. But... now she is alone and weak, and if she wants to return home, it is always good to have two companions. Even if the Hu family brothers and sisters are not related to her, but are the nephews of her deceased brother's wife, and they still have a grudge against her brother's wife, at least they have lived together in the second branch of the Jin family for many years in the past, and there is always some affection between them, which is much better than strangers.

Jin Jiashu, the eldest cousin, promised to hire a few reliable guards for her to escort her and her mother's coffin back home. But as a weak woman, she was worried about traveling with a few strange young men. With two familiar children, she could be more cared for and feel more at ease. She was happy to have two more companions.

But when she thought about what the second branch of the Jin family had done to the two children, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Liu Dainiang, the biological mother of the Hu siblings, died right under the eyes of the Jin family! Although she died of illness, it is also a fact that no one in the Jin family sought medical treatment or medicine for her when she was seriously ill. The second branch of the Jin family, including Jin Juren from the first branch, are more or less responsible for her death. Not to mention that after Liu Dainiang's death, everyone in the Jin family resolutely denied her existence and buried her under the name of Xu. After the family left the capital, no one went to her grave to pay homage, not even a stick of incense was burned for her, let alone letting her children see her off to the end... If these things are told, everyone will say that the Jin family is the one in the wrong.

Hu Yuanwai, the biological father of the Hu siblings, was also framed by the second wife of the Jin family and was imprisoned for the crime of murdering his wife. In fact, everyone in the Jin family knew how Liu Dainiang died, but they insisted that it was Hu Yuanwai who killed her. Of course, it was not because of the reason that Jin Liu said that "he beat his wife severely and caused her death", but purely because he coveted the property of the Hu family. Although Hu Yuanwai has been released now, he can't get back the property swallowed up by the second wife of the Jin family. He has been in prison for several years, his health is seriously damaged, and his reputation is in tatters. How could he easily forgive the Jin family? !
Not to mention the Hu brothers and sisters themselves, who were deceived by Jin Liu, gave false evidence to wrongly accuse their father, sent him to prison, turned against their father's family, and even had their property taken away. They have been separated from the Hu family for many years, and even if they go back to reunite with their father now, the relationship will never be restored. If they knew that all this was caused by the second branch of the Jin family, and even her, Aunt Jin, was an insider, but she always helped her brothers and sisters-in-law to conceal the truth, would they still forgive her and treat her with the same respect as before?

Aunt Jin was unsure.

But she would always go back home with these two children, and she had to find a way to get along well with them and not let them have any resentment in their hearts. She would still need their help on the way!

Besides...

Aunt Jin thought of the eldest sister who was the maid of the third grandmother Ma whom she met at her employer's house. After knowing her situation, she advised her to think carefully about the future. One of her brothers from her natal family was exiled, and the other died - even if they were not dead, they were heartless brothers who abandoned her and could not be trusted at all. The exiled brother had a wife and daughter, but her second brother's wife had a bad relationship with her. She abandoned everyone and only took her daughter to live with her relatives. Now no one knows where she has gone and there is no way to find her. Although she has a younger sister, that sister also has a husband and children. The accident of the second branch of the Jin family implicated the second sister and brother-in-law who helped manage the house and land, and it is unknown how much they have lost. When she returns to her hometown, will the second sister's husband's family be willing to take her in? If not, how will she live?

Now she is still young and has some savings, so she can still find work outside to support herself. But what will she do when she is old and can no longer work?
She couldn't go back to her husband's family. After her husband passed away, they just couldn't accommodate her, so she had to go back to her parents' family. She didn't have any children, and now she lost the protection of her parents' family. Even her eldest cousin was far away. How would she support herself in her old age? Even if she could save some money and not worry about food and clothing, she had to be careful of those with bad intentions who would take advantage of her helplessness and come to steal her private property!

If there were one or two good-behaved and kind-hearted younger generations who were willing to take care of her, even if they couldn't take her home to live in old age, but just gave her some things from time to time, visited her once, and occasionally gave her some money and supplies, it would be better than nothing! If those villains knew that she still had relatives and friends to take care of her, they wouldn't dare to easily make plans against her!
But where can I find such a young person? Originally, my cousin Jin Jiashu was the best candidate. Even if he kept saying that he would not care about her, if I begged him a few more times, he would soften his heart. But he just stayed in Chang'an! Chang'an is more than 2,000 miles away from my hometown in Zunhua Prefecture. How can I count on him? !
Now that the Hu brothers and sisters have returned, they are suitable candidates. It just so happens that they will go back to her hometown in Zunhua Prefecture with her, and there will be plenty of opportunities to get closer on the way. When they return, the Hu family will not treat them well - she knows Mr. Hu's temper very well. Even if he will be caring for the children at first, he will not be able to help but beat them after a few days.

As long as the Hu brothers and sisters feel that Aunt Jin is a kind and amiable elder who truly cares for them, even if they don't take her into the Hu family to take care of them in the future, they can always do it by giving her some favors from time to time...

Aunt Jin raised her hand and knocked on the door of the Jin family. She followed Widow Lu who opened the door and walked into the front yard. Looking at the haggard brothers and sisters of the Hu family, she made up her mind secretly.

She must not let the two children know how their biological mother died and where she was buried. She had to insist that Liu Dainiang never caught up with the second branch of the Jin family and disappeared on the way. Maybe she fell into a ravine, or met a bandit, or was caught up by Mr. Hu and beaten, and then died. In short, Liu Dainiang did not follow their family to the capital, no one delayed her injuries, no one neglected to take care of her, causing her to become seriously ill, and no one delayed her illness. She did not die of illness in the capital, was not buried in the name of someone else, and no one visited her grave to pay homage for many years after her death.

She, Jin Dagu, knew nothing, did not deceive anyone, and did not hide anything. She was innocent and kind, and was treated harshly by her natal family. She was kind and friendly to all the children in the family, but she could not stop anyone or anything.

She owed nothing to the Hu brothers and sisters.

She can support each other, overcome hardships together, and depend on each other.

From now on, she will be a relative of the Hu brothers and sisters!
