My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

During the earthquake, Su Yunwan and a mother and daughter were buried under the bed, and everything was pitch black.

She had been afraid of the dark since she was a child, and her body couldn't stop shaking. When the little girl next to her noticed it, she comforted her again and again: "Sister, don't be afraid."

"Xiaozhu, don't be rude. You have to call me young lady." Seeing that Su Yunwan didn't respond, Ding Qiutong immediately corrected his daughter's title.

Su Yunwan came back to her senses and chuckled: "It's okay. I like Xiaozhu. It's just right to call her sister."

Xiaozhu was a little reluctant to leave, "Sister, can I still play with you in the future?"

"Of course." Su Yunwan smiled and rubbed her hair, but she got mud on her hand.

Su Yunwan said to Ding Qiutong, "I'll take Xiaozhu to take a bath later."

"It's too much trouble for you. I'll just take her to the stream to wash her." Ding Qiutong said embarrassedly.

The weather is hot now, and you won't catch a cold even if you take a cold shower.

Su Yunwan asked again: "Do you have a change of clothes?"

"No, it was too dangerous at the time. I hugged Xiaozhu and ran away without caring about anything else." Thinking of the thrilling scene last night, Ding Qiutong held her daughter's hand tightly.

"I happen to need astragalus medicine, how about I exchange a piece of cloth with you for the freshly picked astragalus?" Rather than giving it away directly, Su Yunwan wanted to exchange it.

There is a saying that goes like this: "Mean of favor and rice of enemy", the weight of which is difficult to control.

Rather than giving kindness without repaying it and making the other person miss him, she prefers to exchange things for things so that both parties can be at ease.

Ding Qiutong waved his hands repeatedly: "How can this be done? I only picked a few Astragalus membranaceus plants, which is far from enough to replace a piece of cloth."

For the current low-level common people, their annual income may not be able to buy two pieces of cloth. How can this be exchanged for a few astragalus plants?

"I don't think this road can be repaired in a while. How about you follow me up the mountain tomorrow morning and help me collect medicine?"

That’s not enough money to buy fabric!

However, Ding Qiutong kept everything in mind and did not refuse: "Okay, thank you."

Su Yunwan said casually: "No need to be polite, everyone just does what they need."

Yu Zhenzhen, who was watching, sighed in her heart: If there is really a shortage of people to collect medicines, the Qin family has enough people at her disposal, so why hire Ding Qiutong?

She silently remembered Su Yunwan's actions in her heart, opening another window for her thoughts.

*

When Su Yunwan returned to the camp, Mrs. Yi and Mrs. Lin, mother and daughter, were sitting under a big tree to enjoy the cool air. Mrs. Lin was fanning the old lady to cool off, and Qin Ruoshan was making needlework with needlework.

Yu Zhenzhen chatted with them, while Su Yunwan jumped directly onto the donkey cart and found a piece of light blue comfortable cotton from a pile of cloths of different colors. That was it!

Ding Qiutong has a beautiful appearance, and this color is perfect for her, which complements her without looking too outstanding. As for Xiaozhu, it’s good to wear parent-child clothes.

Everyone in the Qin family saw Su Yunwan holding a piece of cloth in her left hand and a tailor's bag containing scissors, a ruler, a needle and thread, etc. in her right hand. Without even saying hello, she sent it directly to the mother and daughter on the other side of the camp.

Mother and daughter Lin were shocked and turned their heads to quietly observe Mrs. Qin's face.

The old lady tilted her head and pretended not to see it.

As the head of the household, she naturally has the right to dispose of household belongings.

If she takes the initiative like Mr. Pei, not only will she end up in a bad situation, but she will also hurt the relationship between her and her eldest grandson.

She glanced in the direction of the carriage where mother and daughter Pei and her daughter were, feeling doubly happy.

In the past, Ms. Pei had the tacit approval of her eldest son when it came to the upbringing of her eldest grandson. Even if the old lady took on the role of mother-in-law, she was repeatedly frustrated.

Now seeing that her eldest grandson has finally toughened up and is no longer being harmed by Pei, the old lady seems to have been relieved of a heavy burden and feels relaxed all over.

At this time, Mr. Pei was suppressing his anger and was copying scriptures at his desk in the carriage. Beside her, Qin Ruolan shook her fan to fan her.

The scorching sun was hanging in the sky, and the car was as hot as a big steamer. Sweat was pouring from the faces of Pei and Qin Ruolan.

A drop of sweat as big as a bean fell on the paper, and the pen and ink instantly smudged and spread, and the original words were no longer visible.

Mrs. Pei closed her eyes and threw away the pen, "I won't copy anymore!"

"It's okay to take a rest." Qin Ruolan quickly comforted her, "Let's get out of the car and get some air."

When the mother and daughter got out of the car, they saw Yu Zhenzhen coming back, but Su Yunwan was nowhere to be seen.

Looking around again, he saw Su Yunwan helping Ding Qiutong cut fabric.

Her face darkened instantly, and she turned around and asked the old lady: "Mother, why did Mrs. Su give that woman the cloth?"

"I know this." Yu Zhenzhen saw that the momentum was not right and hurriedly interjected, "The young lady asked Madam Ding to collect herbs and paid her with cloth."

"Our family has so many people, why do we need to hire outsiders!" After Mrs. Pei complained, she habitually gave orders, "Fourth brother and sister, Shanshan, you two have nothing to do. Next time, go to the mountains with Su to collect herbs."

Lin's mother and daughter looked at each other and did not answer.

When Mrs. Pei saw that even they couldn't control them anymore, she jumped in anger: "Did you hear what I said?"

Just as Mrs. Lin was about to apologize, Qin Ruoshan grabbed her arm, looked at Mrs. Pei and said, neither humble nor overbearing: "Auntie, have you forgotten what Uncle Qian said this morning? We can just listen to grandma's arrangements, so you don't have to worry about it."

In order to avoid causing trouble to Su Yunwan, she deliberately did not mention the word "sister-in-law".

"Okay, Mrs. Pei, since you are so busy, come over and massage my legs." The old lady couldn't see her bossing around, so she ordered her on purpose.

Mrs. Pei didn't want to obey the order, nor did she want to go back to the carriage to copy scriptures. She was stuck in place for a while.

"Huh?" The old lady threatened in her throat.

Pei had no choice but to step forward to serve.

The anger in his heart turned into strength and acted on the old lady's calves.

The old lady shrank in pain and kicked the kneeling Ms. Pei to the ground, "You want to squeeze me to death on purpose!"

"No daughter-in-law!" Ms. Pei reluctantly defended.

The old lady angrily scolded: "How dare you quibble, go kneel under the sun and reflect. If I don't give you some color, you dare to rebel!"

"Grandma, please spare my mother." Qin Ruolan knelt down and begged for help, but the old lady took the opportunity to teach her that she should serve her parents-in-law with all her heart when she gets married, instead of being shady or deliberately doing evil things.

The already empty camp was filled with the voice of the old lady training people.

Su Yunwan pursed her lips and simply stayed by Ding Qiutong's side, letting them go their own way.

It's just that as Qin Junyi's mother, Su Yunwan can ignore Pei, but the shadow guard left to protect the Qin family cannot turn a blind eye.

Under the tip of the shadow guard, Qin Junyi came back.

He was brought back on a stretcher.

The rest of the morning was spent doing rehabilitation after learning that Su Yunwan had gone up the mountain.

Due to injuries to the spine and spinal cord, coupled with muscle atrophy due to lying down for many days, Qin Junyi's legs suffered from severe walking dysfunction and required rehabilitation training to recover.

This training process is extremely hard and painful.

It was like something was tearing at the muscles and nerves in his body, frequently challenging Qin Junyi's endurance limit.
