Lady Yongcai's whole body shook and she sat on the threshold, trembling.
This used to be her deepest secret, and she used to think that she was superb.
She once thought that even if Zhao Xiaodie married into her family, so what?
She would still be at her mercy. No matter if it was her or her mother, they would never be able to climb over her head.
In the beginning, she had a guilty conscience towards them, but later on, it turned into an intensifying oppression.
She thought that she was a cut above others, but she didn't expect that the evil debts she had done would one day be avenged on her.
Yongcai's father was furious.
He thought that he was a righteous person, but he didn't expect that there was a mess at home.
"Didn't you swear to me that you didn't know what his second aunt had done? What else are you hiding from me? "
Facing the angry questioning of Yongcai's father, Lady Yongcai didn't dare to hide anymore.
"Yongcai's father, I really didn't do anything! I saw it at that time, but I didn't want to hide it for her at all. It was her, she forced me to give ten taels of silver, and said that as long as I didn't tell anyone about it, she would give me another ten taels. "
"At that time, you were still an apprentice, and Yongcai and I almost starved to death at home. I was afraid, I was afraid that we wouldn't be able to hold on until the day you came back, so I accepted it against my conscience. "
"It's all my fault, I'm not a human!"
Yongcai's mother's crying made the two men at home even more upset.
Especially Yongcai's father.
Unexpectedly, he thought that he was a good person, but in the end, it was because of his incompetence!
"Alas!"
He sighed and no longer had the strength to blame Lady Yongcai.
Speaking of it, it was all their family's fault that caused the misfortune of Xiaodie and her mother.
In this matter, they were all sinners.
.....
"Master, I don't know what happened to Xiaodie. After she came back last night, she locked herself in the room and didn't open the door no matter who knocked. Do you think there will be any accident? "
Early in the morning, Cai Ru reported to Lin Mengya with some worries.
Lin Mengya stretched herself.
She was very happy last night, and then played lantern riddles with everyone and didn't sleep until very late.
"I heard from Aunt Fang that she went home with her man." She was a little surprised.
Whether or not Zhao Yongcai was a good man remained to be seen.
However, his performance during this period of time was quite good. Otherwise, Zhao Xiaodie would not have relented.
Cai Ru said, "It seems like she locked herself in here after returning from outside. Do you think her mother-in-law bullied her again?"
"I don't think so." She hesitated.
Previously, she had found out from Aunt Fang that her father-in-law was a pretty good person. With him around, Lady Yongcai would not be able to stir up any trouble.
Just as she was thinking about whether she should go and check out the situation, Zhao Xiaodie came to say goodbye to her with the child.
She looked at Zhao Xiaodie in front of her and asked in confusion, "Are you going to the Gong family with the caravan?"
Although his eyes were red and his face was haggard, his gaze was firm.
Perhaps it wasn't a complete enlightenment, but he definitely saw through some things.
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaodie's fingers clenched the hem of her clothes.
"Yes, I know Miss Ya has a way. Don't worry, I will work hard when I get there. I won't cause you any trouble, and I will never eat for free. "
Lin Mengya believed her words, but she still felt a little uneasy about Zhao Xiaodie's sudden decision.
"It's not impossible to send you away, but you have to think about it. Once you go there, you will want to come back here to play. Besides, if you leave your hometown with your child and wander outside, although no one in our Gong family will bully you, your life will be very difficult. Have you thought about all these? "
Knowing that Miss Ya's words were all about her, Zhao Xiaodie's attitude was still without any hesitation.
She took a deep breath, raised her head, and said to Lin Mengya seriously, "I know all these, but it's the same for me here. My mother lived a hundred times harder than me, but she could bring me up. I believe that I can also bring up my child. "
Lin Mengya still wanted to ask something, but it was stuck in her throat.
She immediately wrote a letter of recommendation for her and asked Cai Ru to prepare some travel expenses for Zhao Xiaodie.
"No! Miss Ya, I can't take this money! "Zhao Xiaodie anxiously refused.
But Lin Mengya forced it into her hands. "Take it. This is all I can do for you. I will ask someone to send you to the Gong family's caravan. You take this letter of recommendation, and they will send you safely to the Gong family. "
"Also, we have a certain amount of subsidies for foreigners. Especially for a single mother like you, we will give you some extra care. "
She also stuffed the letter of recommendation into the small bag, smiled, and touched Yaya's little face.
"It's fate that we got to know each other. Let's meet again when I go back."
Zhao Xiaodie cried again.
But this time, she was extremely moved to tears.
After experiencing all kinds of accidents and the pain after her mother's death, Miss Ya's pure kindness without any purpose warmed her cold heart.
"I will! I will definitely do my best, and when Miss Ya comes back, I will definitely repay you! "
Lin Mengya smiled and waved her hand, "What repayment? If you go to the Gong family, then we are a family."
She bent down and kissed Yaya's forehead.
This little girl was raised well. She was only a few months old, but she was already fat and white. She had a good temper and was likable.
"Alright, let Cai Ru and the others send you out. I have already prepared the carriage for you. Be careful outside, and take good care of your child's health. "
Zhao Xiaodie nodded heavily.
As long as she knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Mengya, Lin Mengya sensed it and forcibly held her up.
"What are you doing? We don't do this between us. "
Zhao Xiaodie finally held back her tears this time.
She left the courtyard of the Zhao's mansion, looking back three times at every step. After getting on the carriage, she didn't look back again.
The inconspicuous little carriage circled outside the Zhao's mansion, and no one would know that Zhao Xiaodie and her daughter were sitting inside.
On the road out of the city, Zhao Yongcai hurried along.
He wanted to find Xiaodie to give a final explanation.
He also made up his mind that if his wife still couldn't forgive him this time, he wouldn't even want his parents. He only wanted the mother and daughter!
He walked in a hurry, and didn't realize that his wife and daughter were sitting in the small carriage that passed by him just now.
The two of them missed each other like this, and he didn't know if they would ever meet again.
"Yongcai, come back with me!"
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Zhao's mansion, he saw Yongfu, who lived in the same alley, calling his name behind him.
Zhao Yongfu was a few years older than him, and he was fair and chubby. Usually, the two of them worked in the same business.
"Brother Yongfu, I still have something to do …"
"What's more important than a job? You should go back quickly. The shopkeeper sent a message saying that there's an urgent matter. Your father has already packed up and is waiting for you! "Zhao Yongfu came up and pulled him back.
"But I …" Zhao Yongcai felt a headache coming on.
Why did they have to rush together?
However, Zhao Yongfu persuaded him. "I know that your family has a lot of things to do, but the shopkeeper said that if anything goes wrong this time, we'll have nothing to eat in the future."
"You have to think carefully. If we don't have this job, how are we going to support our family in the future?"
The gate of the Zhao's mansion was right in front of him.
However, Zhao Yongcai knew that with the shopkeeper's temper, if he really delayed his business this time, he would definitely not be hired again in the future.
In front of his wife and daughter, as well as his own job, he hesitated again and again, but still made a choice under Zhao Yongfu's urging.
"Then let's go quickly." He gritted his teeth and left with Zhao Yongfu.
However, for some reason, he felt a tearing pain in his heart.
It was as if something was forcibly torn away. Although it didn't make him want to die, it was still very uncomfortable.
In the end, he could only go further and further away from the gate of the Zhao's mansion. However, in his heart, he still comforted himself.
Right now, Xiaodie was still angry. It would be good if he left for a few days. Perhaps by the time he returned, his wife would have thought it through.
When they reached home, they boarded a horse carriage.
They were heading towards another road, one east and one west of Zhao Xiaodie's small horse carriage, and they were getting further and further away.
.....
Lin Mengya deliberately concealed it. Other than Aunt Fang and a few people who knew that Zhao Xiaodie had left, no one else noticed that the mother and daughter were missing.
Zhao Xiaodie was not usually a high-profile person, so Lin Mengya could casually make up an excuse to fool them.
In order to ensure Zhao Xiaodie's safety, even Lin Mengya did not know the route she took.
This was also good. Since she had left, she wanted to leave quickly, so that she would not be sad again.
At the same time, Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao received an extremely important piece of news.
"The aboriginals' clan meeting? What does it have to do with us? "
There was a dark golden invitation letter in front of her.
After Lin Mengya asked again and again, the other party told her with certainty that this invitation letter belonged to her.
Moreover, on the invitation letter, it was indeed written that the head of the Gong family was invited to attend the aboriginals' clan meeting.
However, this matter was clearly an internal matter of the aboriginals.
Inviting an outsider like her? Was it appropriate?
However, after Aunt Fang saw the invitation letter, she seemed to be a little restless. She looked at Lin Mengya a few times as if she wanted to say something.
Lin Mengya asked Baisu to bring everyone out. When only she and Aunt Fang were left in the room, Aunt Fang lowered her voice and said, "Don't go! This must be a trap! The Huo family also received this thing in the past. Perhaps this is how they were targeted! "
Compared to Aunt Fang's anxiety and fear, Lin Mengya had her own opinion. She fiddled with the invitation letter and felt that there was something unusual about this matter.
"Aunt Fang, what is the meaning of this clan meeting?"
Aunt Fang sighed and said, "The aboriginals' clan meeting is only held once every 20 years. Every time, there will be a family that will be punished and rewarded!"
