After a flash marriage, I became the beautiful wife of a wealthy heir

"Thank you, girl! You think too highly of an old woman like me."

"Mother-in-law, let me help you clean up. We won't sell it. I'll drive you back to your village later." Wenxiu said as she tidied up.

After helping her mother-in-law clean up, Wenxiu returned to the stall, packed up the few unsold clothes that were left, and loaded the shed into the van.

Wenxiu’s clothes were basically sold out, leaving some space in the car.

The old lady basically didn’t sell her Chinese herbal medicine.

Wenxiu also loaded the old woman's bamboo basket of medicinal herbs into her van.

"Girl, wait for a moment for my granddaughter, she's here to bring me food, and she'll be here soon." The old woman looked up at the position of the sun in the sky, and the sun just reached the top of a nearby poplar tree.

"Grandma, your granddaughter is here to bring you food. Is your home far away?" Wenxiu looked at the old woman with a look of suspicion.

"It's quite far, about seven or eight miles."

It must be very difficult for the old lady and her family to have a little girl deliver the food across such a long distance.

"I'll take you back to the village. Maybe you'll meet your granddaughter on the way."

"She'll be here soon." The old woman looked at the top of the poplar tree again. "When the sun reaches that position, the child should be here too. I'm afraid that if she arrives right after we leave and can't find me, she'll be worried."

“Grandma, you’re sold out.”

As the two were talking, a pretty little girl with two pigtails on her head came towards them, calling out to the old woman loudly.

She was wearing a light red shirt with small white flowers on it.

He was wearing a pair of navy blue trousers with two hand-sewn patches on his knees that were a different color from the trousers, which looked particularly conspicuous and awkward.

However, the clothes were washed cleanly.

When she walked over, the pair of white plastic sandals she was wearing on her bare feet had turned gray and looked dirty.

"Here's the food for you, grandma. You sold so fast today. It's all sold out. Hurry and eat." The little girl said happily and handed the small thermos bucket in her hand to her grandmother.

In her other hand she clutched a small roll of money and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Then, she happily opened the money in her hand and handed it to grandma: "Grandma, when I came here, I picked up some bottles while walking on the road. I passed by a scrap shop on the street and sold them for two dollars. You take it."

"Alas! It's such a long journey, it must be hard for grandma's good grandson."

"Grandma, we have gained a lot today. I am very happy. This little bit of tiredness is nothing!" The little girl smiled sweetly, full of happiness.

She looked again and saw Wenxiu standing next to her, watching her all the time: "Grandma, the sister who just talked to you...who is she?"

"Xiao Lan, hurry up and call sister, the new sister who sells clothes."

"Oh... hello, sister."

Xiaolan responded and smiled shyly at Wenxiu.

The old lady poured the noodle soup slices from the thermos into the bowl and called Wenxiu over to eat.

Wenxiu was not hungry at all, and they pushed each other for a while.

The old woman had no choice but to hand the bowl to her granddaughter: "Xiaolan, eat quickly, we will go home after dinner."

"Grandma, you eat first. I ate some before I came."

Wenxiu's first impression of Xiaolan was that this child was delicate-looking and at the age of growing up, and seemed a little malnourished.

At this time, Wenxiu had a strong desire to get to know the old woman and her granddaughter's family.

In her opinion, their lives were very hard, which could be seen from the bowl of noodle soup that was passed around.

What's more, there are not many noodles in the soup, only a little bit of chili oil and a few green leafy vegetables floating on it.

"Old lady, you guys eat first. I have something to do on the street. I'll be back soon." Wenxiu said and turned to walk towards the street.

She went to a large supermarket and bought a bag of noodles, a bag of rice and a barrel of oil. She also bought a large bag of snacks that children liked to eat and nutritional supplements that the elderly often took.

She asked the supermarket employees to help her deliver the goods to her van and load them.

Wenxiu thanked the supermarket employee, opened the car door, and said to the grandmother and granddaughter, "Grandma, you and Xiaolan, get in the car quickly. We are going back now."

Xiaolan got in the car and saw that her bamboo basket was still full of medicine.

She froze for a moment.

She glanced at her mother-in-law, and her happy face became heavy. She said, "Grandma, why haven't we sold any herbs?"

The old lady pointed at Wenxiu, turned her head and said to her granddaughter with a smile: "Oh! They are all sold to the beautiful sister."

Xiaolan seemed to understand, but she didn't ask any questions. She just silently looked at Wenxiu's back in the driver's seat, biting her lips, her eyes filled with endless gratitude.

Wenxiu turned on the navigation on her phone and searched while confirming: "Grandma, is this Nangou Village?"

"Big sister, our home is in Nangou Village, Dongchuan Town." Xiaolan naively agreed on behalf of her grandmother.

"okay……"

Wenxiu drove the grandmother and granddaughter out of Dongchuan Town, crossed a bridge, and turned onto the gravel dirt road leading to Nangou Village.

The road was bumpy and the car was moving slowly and bumpy.

Wenxiu tried to slow down the car as much as possible to avoid the car from shaking up and down.

Wenxiu asked as she drove: "Xiaolan, what grade are you in?"

"Fifth grade, sister. After the summer vacation, I will be in sixth grade."

"Oh... are mom and dad busy and you're here to bring food to grandma?"

Xiaolan pursed her lips tightly and looked at her grandmother quietly, as if she was expecting something.

Wenxiu looked back at them, then looked at the uneven road ahead.

I thought to myself: This family has an unspeakable painful story, otherwise they wouldn’t be like this.

"Oh! Child, tell your sister the truth." The old woman sighed with red eyes. She raised her rough hands and stroked her granddaughter's hair.

Seeing her mother-in-law's look, Xiaolan couldn't help but wipe her eyes with the back of her hand.

She glanced at Wenxiu's back. Wenxiu's body was shaking back and forth due to the bumpy ride of the car.

She turned her head and looked out the car window, and the sad past gradually emerged before her eyes.

This was the most difficult and saddest moment in Xiaolan's life.

"One afternoon at the end of the second half of the fourth grade, my classmates and I were having a physical education class on the playground..."

“We all had a lot of fun and had a lot of fun.”

"At that time, I was wearing the same dress I'm wearing now. Many girls here liked to wear the dress I'm wearing now."

"I begged my father many times before he agreed to buy it for me when he got his salary."

"…This dress is what my father bought me three days ago when he got his salary. I had always wanted to wear it."

"But I only wore the new clothes my dad bought for three days, and then he..."

Xiaolan was in tears and sat there sobbing silently.

She lowered her head and wiped her eyes vigorously with her hands.

Wenxiu stared blankly at the road ahead. From what she said, she had a premonition: would Xiaolan's father...

Wenxiu didn't dare to think further.

Xiaolan calmed herself down and continued telling the story of her family.

"My classmates and I were having physical education class when my mother suddenly rushed into the playground with snot and tears."
