nMadam Wang was still cursing in her room, causing everyone in the house to frown. The men did not want to go to her side, and the boys had already run out to play.
nWhen Madam Zhou went out, she even dragged her third daughter, Su Yufang, along. She did not want her daughter to be beaten up by Madam Wang at home.
nThere were no women at home, so no matter how much Madam Wang cursed, no one paid attention to her.
nWhen Madam Zhou and Madam Li went out together, Madam Zhou could not help but say, “Sister-in-law, do you think Third Sister-in-law will come back?”
nMadam Zhou felt a little worried just thinking about it. Without the third branch, their lives were tough. On the contrary, that family might be living a better life out there on their own.
nThe water that had been spilled could not be taken back so easily.
nMoreover, there were rumors in the village that Su Sanlang never missed when he went hunting. His life was getting better and he even made money. Madam Zhou thought that if it were her, she would definitely not be willing to come back.
nMadam Li smiled and said, “How would I know if Third Brother’s family is willing to come back? I only know that this is an order from Father. I’m just a messenger.”
nWhether they were willing to come back or not was up to the third branch. Even if they wanted to quarrel or cause trouble, it had nothing to do with her. All she knew was that if she didn’t have a good life, no one could.
nIt was fine as long as her goal was achieved. They were all in the same village, and they would see each other frequently. When she heard that Madam Zhao was enjoying life now, Madam Li felt uncomfortable. Why should she be bullied by Madam Wang at home?

nWhen Madam Li said that, Madam Zhou also understood.
nShe did not say anything, because she had also thought about what Madam Li was thinking.
nMadam Wang had never treated girls as humans. In the past, with Madam Zhao’s daughter in Madam Wang’s sight, Madam Wang’s own daughter was fine and did not suffer much. However, ever since the third branch left, her daughter became more conspicuous.
nIn the past, Su Sanmei would cut the weeds and carry the grains. Now, it was her daughter’s turn. In just two months, Su Yufang had lost a lot of weight. Madam Zhou’s heart ached when she saw this. When she thought about how Su Sanmei was doing well now, she felt upset.
nBefore long, they arrived at Su Sanlang’s house. Madam Li had a loud voice and was already shouting, “Third Sister-in-law, is Third Sister-in-law at home?”
nMadam Zhou also shouted, “Third Sister-in-law, come out quickly. We’re here to see you.”
nMadam Zhou knew that Madam Zhao would be shocked by their shouting.
nIt didn’t matter.
nMadam Zhao was feeding Su Xiaolu and was indeed shocked when she heard the shouting.
nSu Xiaolu choked because of the shock. She would never forget Madam Li’s voice.
nThere was also an unfamiliar voice. Hearing her call her mother ‘third sister-in-law’, Su Xiaolu quickly realized that it was probably her aunt whom she had yet to meet.
nThese two visitors were definitely up to no good.
nSu Xiaolu’s impression of Madam Li was bad. When Madam Zhao had just given birth and was in a state of depression, Madam Li had happily come to tell her that her family had been kicked out. She had provoked Madam Zhao so much because she did not want Madam Zhao to live a long life. Because of this, Su Xiaolu never thought that Madam Li was a good person.
nSu Sanmei was in the chicken coop before she ran into the house. She looked at Madam Zhao timidly and called out softly, “Mother.”
nMadam Zhao looked at the fear in Su Sanmei’s eyes. She pulled her over and stroked her hair. “Don’t be afraid, Sanmei. Mother is here.”
nMadam Zhao patted Su Xiaolu gently and lowered her eyes to hide the worry in them for Su Sanmei.
nHowever, Madam Zhao had no idea that Su Xiaolu could see them clearly.

nMadam Zhao sighed and picked up Su Xiaolu. She stood up and said to Su Sanmei, “Sanmei, go out and catch some insects. Leave it to Mother to entertain your aunts”
nSu Sanmei was a little afraid and did not know if she should listen to Madam Zhao or stay behind to accompany her.
nMadam Zhao stroked Su Sanmei’s hair and smiled. “It’s fine. They won’t dare to do anything to Mother. Don’t worry.”
nMadam Zhao was worried that the Su family would have ideas after knowing that they had money now.
nAs for if Madam Li and Madam Zhou would hit her, she was not worried. In the past, Madam Li and Madam Zhou did not hit her. Now that they had already split up, there was no reason for them to hit her.
nSu Sanmei nodded and went out obediently.
nMadam Zhao carried Su Xiaolu out. As soon as she came out, she saw that Madam Li and Madam Zhou were already outside the fence in the courtyard.
nMadam Li and Madam Zhou were both sizing up this small courtyard. There was an indescribable bitterness in their eyes.
nBoth of them thought that the third branch should be living a difficult life after being separated from the main family. They would not be able to eat well or wear warm clothes. But now, the situation has completely reversed.
nHow could all that firewood not keep them warm?
nThey had even made money from hunting. How could they not be full?
nThe small courtyard was even fenced up. The straw hut had been renovated and everything looked good. When Madam Zhao came out, they were surprised. It had only been two months since they last met, but Madam Zhao seemed to have changed into a different person. She looked better and had even gained weight.
n“Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, you’re here. Let’s talk inside.”
nMadam Zhou walked out to open the gate with a calm expression. Madam Li and Madam Zhou were not like ferocious beasts, so there was no need for her to be afraid of them. As for those that she could not avoid, there was nothing she could do even if she was afraid. After thinking it through, Madam Zhao’s mentality changed.
n“Alright, alright. Second Sister-in-law, let’s go in. Let Yufang and Sanmei play together for a while. It’s not good for them to hear too much from adults, right?”
nMadam Li said to Madam Zhou.
nSu Sanmei had really grown up over the past two months. Her skin had become fairer and her hair looked good. It seemed that the third branch was doing well.
nCompared to Su Yufang, the difference was stark.
nSu Yufang and Su Sanmei were about the same age. She was a year older than Su Sanmei. The little girl had long hated Su Sanmei in her heart. Now that she saw that she was better-looking than her, she was even more unhappy.
nHowever, Madam Zhou did not intend to bring her along. Su Yufang said to Su Sanmei, “Sanmei, let’s go and play.”
nSu Sanmei did not want to play with Su Yufang. She said cooly, “I’m going to catch insects and feed them to the chickens.”
nIn the past, Su Yufang would bully her. Su Sanmei always remembered that.
nShe had no friends, but she didn’t want to play with Su Yufang either. When her fourth sister grew up, she could play with her, so there was no need for her to be friends with Su Yufang.
nSu Sanmei ignored Su Yufang, who said, “Do you know why my mother and aunt are here? They’re here to ask your family to go home and work. When you get home, Grandma will only scold you instead of me.”
nSu Sanmei was so angry that her eyes turned red.
nSu Yufang smiled and continued, “Everything here will be brought back to the house. You’ll even have to give me your clothes.”
nSu Yufang had noticed that Su Sanmei was wearing new clothes.
nTears streamed down Su Sanmei’s face when she heard that. She mustered up her courage and pushed Su Yufang away. She choked and said, “No way. We’re not going back.”
nSu Sanmei ran into the courtyard. She ran to the door but did not enter. She heard Madam Zhou and Madam Li talking inside.
