Chu Yi and the others helped him lie down.
Only then did Jiang Dahai come to his senses, propping himself up to sit, he said, “Big daughter, I’m not as annoyed as you think, I can walk now, just slowly.”
Jiang Yan looked at him and said, “If you want to leave problems for yourself, just do as you wish!”
“Dad, just listen to big sister.”
Jiang Wan chimed in from the side.
“Exactly.”
Jiang Ling agreed.
It was still early before lunch, but Jiang Yan didn’t want to talk to Jiang Dahai much longer, so she found an excuse to leave.
…
Outside the west suburbs of town.
A raggedly dressed woman, excitedly pointing at the western city wall, shouted, “Dad, mom, we’re back in town!”
This woman was none other than Liang Yuxin.
She, along with Liang Nian and Yu Shi, had left home to sell a recipe in a neighboring town. They managed to sell it, but before the money could warm in their hands, it was stolen.
They then went to other nearby towns, facing the same fate.
Later, they decided not to sell the recipe anymore and directly started selling tea eggs. However, the people in the shadows still didn’t spare them, stealing not only their earnings but also their prepared and unprepared eggs.
They were furious but helpless.
Eventually, they decided to sell the recipe in one place and then use the money to eat and drink.
Initially, it worked.
But later, before they could even use the money for food, they were knocked out and robbed.
Without food or money, and unable to travel further, they decided to return.
With no money, they could only beg their way back.
Upon reaching the town, they were close to home.
Liang Yuxin suddenly felt motivated, but Liang Nian didn’t want to go on.
Yu Shi’s leg hadn’t fully recovered, so she couldn’t walk far, and Liang Nian had been carrying her all along.
“Let’s rest for a bit, rest for a bit.”
Liang Nian sat down on a large rock by the roadside, still carrying Yu Shi.
Yu Shi had wanted to come home, but now that they were back, she was very worried, “Will Jiang Yan still not let us go?”
At the mention of this, Liang Nian’s excitement about returning to his hometown vanished.
