Chapter 13 Variables
  After finding the owner of the purse, Feng Shuzhen and the others went to the market. It happened that everyone had sold out the mushrooms, so they returned to the village together.

Su Lao San went to the door of Su Lao Er's yard a few more times, and the results were all without exception. Zhang Ruoan was either chatting with Su Yueyue in the house, or helping them chop firewood. The last time, he even took the guy We repaired the broken courtyard gate.

After coming several times in a row without success, Su Laosan finally had no choice but to return to the Su family's old house in a sulky mood.

"Brother Ruo'an, please go back."

Su Yueyue looked at Zhang Ruoan, who was concentrating on cleaning the yard, with a bit of embarrassment in his eyes.

Where can I ask guests to do things for my family?
  Besides, she also knew something about Brother Ruoan's thoughts.

only……

"It's okay, I cleaned the yard, and Aunt Feng feels more relaxed.

I've repaired the courtyard door for you. You must close it at night to prevent anything from happening again. "

Zhang Ruoan looked at Su Yueyue in the room with worries in his eyes.

This incident was a big blow to him.

Why would such a good girl like Yueyue encounter such a thing?
  "I know."

Su Yueyue's eyes were complicated, her hands clenched unconsciously, but she didn't know how to speak.

Brother Ruo'an is a very good person, but his family is full of troubles. As the eldest daughter, it will be even more difficult for him to shoulder the burden of the family in the future. Brother Ruo'an should have a better future.

You shouldn't stay in this small village.

The two grew up together. Although they are not as close as they were when they were older, who can say that they really don't have that kind of thought in their hearts?
  But something has happened now, and they should no longer continue as they were before.

Ruo An should go to college to study and move towards a better future.

"Then, I'll go back first."

Looking around, he didn't find anything he could do. Zhang Ruoan could only leave the Su family in three steps.

He would have to go to the academy soon, and he would only be back once in the next half month, and he was very anxious.

What can he do if the people in the Su family's old house continue to act like monsters when he leaves the village?

The young man's mind was so confused that he didn't notice the worried face of his mother-in-law not far away.

"Sister Zhang, I'm really troubling you today."

Feng Shuzhen wiped the sweat from her forehead with an apology in her tone.

Sister Zhang had no need to go to the mountains to collect wild food. She was just worried that she would go with her.

Just on this trip today, they had a lot of small wounds on their bodies.

Either I was bitten by mosquitoes or my skin was scratched by weeds and thorns, but fortunately I got some results.

"That's what you said." When Aunt Zhang heard this, she made a fierce face and said unhappily: "I just want to go to the mountain and have a look. You said it as if I am doing it all for you.

I don't like hearing it anymore. "

"Sister Zhang..."

Knowing that she was joking, a faint blush flashed across Feng Shuzhen's face, and then the two of them separated and returned to their own yard.

As soon as she opened the door, Feng Shuzhen discovered something was wrong.

Wasn't the door of your courtyard kicked in by your mother-in-law?

Why does it seem to be fine again?
  As soon as we entered the yard, the firewood in the yard was piled high, and the wood that had not been processed before was now split and neatly stacked on the edge.

The yard was specially cleaned.

Feng Shuzhen's eyes were blank, and she couldn't think of anyone who had done so many things for her family.

"Aniang, brother Ruo'an did it!"

Su Jing saw her grandma's confusion, tugged on her clothes and explained.

"My sister and I just saw that brother Ruoan returned to his own home from our house. Brother Ruoan must have helped us chop the firewood." "Yes, is that right?"

A strange look flashed across Feng Shuzhen's face, and then she sighed.

Su Yueyue couldn't stay in bed. As soon as Zhang Ruoan left, she ran to the kitchen. As soon as she washed the rice, she heard her sister's voice coming from the yard.

"Aniang? Are you back?"

Su Yueyue wiped the water drops on her hands and walked out of the kitchen.

"Yes." Feng Shuzhen forced a smile and then put down the backpack on her back.

Su Yueyue still couldn't believe it when she saw the food in the basket.

"Auntie, where did this food come from?"

"Sister, my mother-in-law picked up a lot of fungi, and then we went to the town to sell the money and buy food."

Su Qing said with a smile, and reached out her hand to take out the salt shaker from her backpack.

"This is the salt that grandma bought. We also picked wild vegetables. We can eat wild vegetable pancakes tonight!"

The little girl grinned happily, but when Su Yueyue saw the small wounds on her hands, the tip of her nose still felt sore.

"Okay, okay, you two go wash your hands quickly. You are dirty and don't feel ashamed."

Feng Shuzhen tapped the foreheads of the two girls, and then looked at Su Yueyue with a troubled expression.

"Yueyue, there is something I want to tell you."

"Auntie, tell me what's going on."

Su Yueyue's face also looked a little unnatural, and she could probably guess what A Niang wanted to say.

"You and Ruoan..."

Feng Shuzhen pursed her lips, not knowing how to ask.

"Don't worry, Mom. Brother Ruoan and I have nothing to do."

There was a somewhat ugly smile on the girl's face.

"Brother Ruo'an is going to the town to study soon. He has a bright future, I know it."

"As long as you know."

Seeing her daughter's reluctance, Feng Shuzhen reached out and touched her face, feeling an indescribable discomfort in her heart.

In fact, the two families had thought about getting married before.

But no one expected that their children's father would suddenly leave like this, leaving them to continue to struggle with the old house.

There was already some gap between the two families at the beginning. After all, my family and the people in the old house were always sucking blood. But at that time, I still had a man who could support the family, and it was still reasonable for the two families to get married.

Now this is no longer possible.

I just don’t know what the two children think.

"Yueyue, now the food at home is enough to last for a few days. You just need to recuperate at home. Aunt Yang will follow you and Aunt Yang and the others to the mountains to pick up fungi every day. When the fungi stop growing next month, I will go to the town to take a look. Look, let’s see if there’s any work I can do, and then our family will get through it.”

"Okay." Su Yueyue nodded in agreement. Now that her family finally had hope, she only hoped that her injury would get better soon, so that she could go to the mountains with her to collect wild food and reduce the burden on her family.

"By the way, Aunt Zhang asked Brother Ruoan to bring a bowl of pancakes today, and I put them in the kitchen."

"it is good."

No one spoke between mother and daughter. Feng Shuzhen carried the food to the kitchen, while Su Yueyue sat in the main room and stared at the hideous wound on her arm.

This was her fate, so what could she do?
