The people in the room looked at each other in confusion. The reputation of the Zhou family had spread nearby, and troops were stationed there. People in Shanghe Village rarely came to the school, let alone strangers.

Yang Xi was the hostess and asked, "Can I ask why you are kneeling at the gate?"

Mo Lu turned to look at Mrs. Qi, "The girl said she was Mrs. Qi's daughter, and the other boy said she was Mrs. Qi's grandson."

Yang Xi motioned for Mrs. Qi to come in. When Mrs. Qi came in, Yang Xi explained the situation and said, "Do you want to meet them?"

Mrs. Qi's heart trembled. She sold herself to the Zhou family. She thought that the Zhou family was a small family. Unexpectedly, the Zhou family's status was getting higher and higher. She became the housekeeper. She had a good monthly income and went out.

He also gets respect from his boss when doing things.

The more servants there are in the Zhou family, the less busy she is. When she is free, she will think of her children. Every time she thinks of her, her heart aches. Her children despise her. Without the money she earns, without her, how will her children be fed and clothed?

She was heartbroken.

Mrs. Qi lowered her head and shook her head, "I disappeared."

She was afraid that she would be unable to help but forgive her daughter if her heart softened.

Zhou Xiaomei opened her mouth, and finally turned into a sigh. This was Mrs. Qi's own decision. They had not experienced Mrs. Qi's suffering and should not influence Mrs. Qi's thoughts.

Granny Qi followed Mo Lu out. After a while, Mo Lu came back. Granny Qi relented and asked Mo Lu to give a hundred copper coins to the girl at the door.

Zhou Yu and his wife had another conversation with Yang San, and then they took Zilu back to the east courtyard.

Yang San was dealing with things bitterly. Everyone could take a break, but he couldn't.

The house built for the soldiers next door to the Zhou family was built very quickly. Because the soldiers helped build the house, the first house built was already habitable.

When the soldiers saw the girl kneeling at the door of Zhou's house, no soldier came forward. In the soldiers' hearts, the Zhou family had changed from people protected by the general to people worthy of their trust.

Even when he saw the scarred girl, the soldier didn't even look at her.

Mo Lu stared at the little girl who was still kneeling. The little girl was about twelve years old. There was a hair rope in her hair that was about to break, and her wrists were full of scars. The little girl knelt motionless, looking particularly stubborn.

The child was young, about five years old. The little boy was even thinner, and his neck seemed unable to support his head. If the girl hadn't hugged the little boy, he would have been lying on the ground.

Mo Lu looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly today, which meant that the temperature was so high that even healthy adults couldn't stand kneeling for a long time, let alone little girls and children.

Mo Lu actually wanted to know how this girl found Shanghe Village. Mrs. Qi rarely went to the county town to buy things. She always knew where to go. By the way, Mrs. Qi went to the county town yesterday.

In the east courtyard, Yang Xi estimated the time. Only one chiming bell was placed in the main courtyard. It was really inconvenient to have no chiming bell for time.

Yang Xi looked at the heat wave outside, "Did you say Mrs. Qi's daughter left?"

Zhou Yu shook the book in his hand, "I don't know."

Zhou Yu's thoughts are all on books. Now the Zhou family has a lot of books, all of which were brought back by Yang San. Some of them were bought by Yang San when he went out, and some were obtained by cheating. Some of the books Zhou Yu has never read.

.

It was rare that Yang San did not drag the couple into becoming a man. He enjoyed the time of reading and soon became immersed in books.

Yang Xi was thinking about Mrs. Qi's daughter, not because she was worried, but because she had doubts in her heart. How did Mrs. Qi's daughter get here?

Zilu threw himself into his mother's arms, "Mom, play with me."

Yang Xi touched Zilu's forehead. This kid loves to sweat, and his head was already covered with sweat. "Let's take a break. Look at how quiet my brother is."

Zilu complained: "Brother ignored me."

Ziheng put down his brush and rubbed his wrist, "I'm practicing Chinese calligraphy."

Zilu chuckled, "I want it too."

Zi Heng's face was full of rejection, "You will get ink everywhere."

Zi Lü didn't hear it and quickly rushed in front of his brother. Zi Heng was so frightened that he hurriedly protected Mo Zhi.

Yang Xi laughed and took out the bibs she made, specially made for her two sons to prevent ink from splattering on their clothes.

The family of four lived peacefully until Mrs. Qi came over. Mrs. Qi took a deep breath and said, "Madam, I will take my daughter and grandson to Miss Hu's house. I can come back in the evening."

Yang Xi was most satisfied that Mrs. Qi was sensible and did not directly bring people into the house, "Okay."

Mrs. Qi left in a hurry. Yang Xi went out to ask Mo Lu. Mo Lu said that the child had fainted. Mrs. Qi could not bear to invite the eldest son of the Yu family. The eldest son of the Yu family said that she would not be able to survive if she did not take good care of him. Mrs. Qi did not dare to bring anyone into the house.

, I thought of Miss Hu’s house.

Yang Xi, "Your young master didn't send anyone to investigate?"

Mo Lu chuckled, "Brother Xu Nan has already gone to the county seat."

Something happened to Zhao Ling, and his sons were wary and suspicious of people who suddenly appeared.

My young master said, don't underestimate women and children, just stay vigilant at all times.

Yang Xi nodded and turned back to the yard.

Yang Xi and others didn't care what happened, knowing that Yang San would investigate clearly, and Ye was very concerned about Mrs. Qi.

When Mrs. Qi came back and specifically asked what had happened, Mrs. Qi's eyes were red and she did not say what had happened. Mrs. Ye could not ask, so she respected Mrs. Qi and did not ask.

The next day, Yang San checked out the family of Mrs. Qi’s ex-husband. Mrs. Qi’s husband’s surname was Li. After Li Xiucai left, he soon married a young girl. The family was lively. The bride would beat and scold Mrs. Qi’s daughter and daughter-in-law from time to time.

Unable to bear it, they divorced, leaving behind a five-year-old child.

Mrs. Qi's son also remarried, and Mrs. Qi's daughter and grandson in the whole family became the little cabbage who could be bullied. Unable to bear it, they came to seek refuge with Mrs. Qi.

Yang San asked, "Sister, brother-in-law, what do you think?"

There are no issues with the content of the investigation.

Yang Xi asked, "How did they find Shanghe Village?"

Yang San's eyes were sarcastic: "They have met Mrs. Qi a long time ago, but she is still dressed as a servant, and they did not come to find her. Now that life is difficult, they have the courage to come."

Yang Xi's female intuition always felt that something was wrong, but there was nothing wrong with the content of the investigation.

Zhou Yu shook his wife's hand and said, "Keep a closer eye. Anyway, Mrs. Qi can carry it clearly and didn't bring anyone in."

Yang San chuckled, "How cautious are you and your sister? Mrs. Qi has been in our house for so long, she knows where the bottom line is."

Yang San then pointed to the box on the table, which contained several sets of clothes, "Sister, do you like it?"

Yang Xi opened the box and was speechless. The last time she went to Pang's house, Yang San talked about her and Zhou Yu's clothing similarities. The three sets of clothes in the box were particularly similar, "childish."

Yang San raised his eyebrows and said, "We are a family, so our clothes should be similar."

Zhou Yu said with a dull face, "We dress alike, that's because we have a good relationship as a couple. What does it mean if you have one more person?"

Yang San spread his hands, "I am your brother!"
