Today, after going to the court, Su Zhi was still nervous and didn't have the mood to stay in the shop.

The thought of someone robbing her of her bean bun made her feel bad.

Some people didn't want her to be too comfortable and secretly played tricks on her. They wanted to make her lose her business and kill her. Since the two of them couldn't walk around anymore, they might as well steal the child instead.

Su Zhi was worried about the condition of the two children at home. Before closing time, she left and handed the shop over to Qiu Hong and Li Yi to look after.

He had been feeling uneasy the entire way, but when he arrived at Spring Leaf Alley, he saw someone pointing and talking about something inside the alley.

"Alright, alright, stop looking. Everyone disperse."

When Su Zhi heard Gu Sister-in-Law's voice, she thought something had happened to her family. When she arrived, she found out that it was her house. A woman was kneeling on the ground, and the onlookers were whispering amongst themselves.

"Little Su, you're back!"

Upon seeing her return, Gu Sister-in-Law greeted her warmly, then pointed at the woman on the ground and asked, "What's wrong with this person? He actually said he wanted to see his own child. Is there something wrong with his head?"

Su Zhi took a closer look and realized it was the Zhou family she had seen in the yamen.

She was kneeling at the front door, her cheeks still wet with tears.

"Everyone disperse, there's nothing to see."

Su Zhi dispersed the crowd and said somewhat helplessly, "It's useless for you to kneel here. The sky is cold and you must be careful of your body. Get up quickly."

Zhou Yang shook her head tiredly, unwilling to get up. She moved her stiff and numb knees and crawled towards her, "Madam, I beg of you. Give Aunt Lan back to me."

"I'm sorry, but I can't give it back to you. Back then, it was you who lost your child and now you want to find it. If my husband had not coincidentally met her, perhaps this poor child would have perished. "

Madame Zhou's eyes reddened, and she began to sob. "Does Madame really think that I am so determined to lose her?" The midwife at first thought it was a stillborn child. When she was a year and a half and she still didn't speak, I was anxious to get a doctor to treat her. However, her family disliked her as a girl, so how could they be willing to spend money to let the child see a doctor? "While I was out on the farmland, they took the child and threw him away. When I came back, they lied that the child had been kidnapped …

Until a few days ago, when someone came to the door to tell them the whereabouts of the child, and was willing to give them a large amount of silver as a reward, as long as they went to the imperial city to complain, they could get the silver and the child back.

"My mother-in-law doesn't like girls. If I don't have a good month and my stomach fails, my body will be empty. It will be difficult for me to have children in the future. If I am really abandoned by my in-laws, then this child is my only hope. I cannot do without her. "

Madame Zhou hugged Su Zhi's thigh and cried like rain.

"Think of it as pitying me. Give Aunt Lan back to me, madam …"

Su Zhi was not a heartless person, and upon seeing her like this, her heart was moved.

"You get up first. Let's talk inside, don't let it get cold."

She supported the woman who was crying incessantly, her heart also not feeling good.

Zhou Yang did not do anything wrong, only blaming her mother for being too strong, and her husband for being too weak to take care of his wife.

"No, I won't get up. If Madam doesn't want to return Aunt Lan to me, I will kneel here and die!"

Su Zhi sighed, "Why are you doing this? Get up, we can discuss everything. Let's go inside the house, you can take a look at the child."

Sister-in-Law Gu had not gone far. She stood to the side watching, when the conversation finally broke out, "What's up, Xiaosu? The child you're talking about is Xiaosu?" You didn't give birth to that child? "

"Sister-in-law, I've let you watch a joke. I just heard Brother Shen call for you. Please go inside to take a look."

After saying that, he lifted the woman up and knocked on the closed door.

The moment Su Zhizhan entered, Gu Sister-in-Law told another woman who had come to watch the show, "What's going on? How can a child not be his own?"

The woman who was watching the show nodded, "Who's wrong. When Little Su just arrived at our Spring Leaf Lane, I already saw that something wasn't right. How could she have such two children at such a young age?"

Gu Sister-in-Law tiptoed towards Su Zhi Yuan, and the woman said, "Maybe, that Little Jin isn't hers either."

"Hey, hey, don't spout nonsense. Xiaosu is a good girl, don't talk so much about the neighbors."

The woman snorted, "I don't know who likes to join in the fun." With that, he shook off his sleeves and left.

Su Zhi supported Zhou Yang into the house and served her hot tea and snacks.

The woman didn't want to take it. She stared at the little girl who was sitting cross-legged in the corner playing with rabbits.

"I didn't expect this child to have a day to talk."

At the corner of the room, a small bean bag was picking at a rabbit's short fur. The fat rabbit was eating a cabbage, and after its butt had been plucked, it turned around and bared its fangs at her.

Su Zhi Lian looked at the little girl lovingly and replied, "My husband decided to adopt her because she called her 'Daddy'. It's not that she doesn't know how to speak, it's just that she spoke even later than her peers. "

Madame Zhou looked at her child with some sadness. "Madam has taught her very well. This child has gained a lot of weight."

She looked at the rabbit hair that was being pulled, and smiled as she narrowed her crescent moon shaped doll, picking up the cabbage leaves from the ground and hanging them by the rabbit's mouth. The fat rabbit opened its mouth to bite, but when she lifted her small hand, it missed. The rabbit smoothed the hair at the corner of its mouth, then lowered its head. Once again, Soybean Pancake held the vegetable leaf to its mouth, waiting for it to open its mouth and bite and raise its arm.

Several times the rabbit got angry and turned his back on her.

Noticing the situation, the small bean bag stretched out a small fat hand to poke its butt, but the rabbit just stayed there without moving.

Su Zhi found it funny. Her daughter was so cute, she really couldn't bear to send it back.

Knocking sounds came from outside the courtyard. Bi Yue went to open the door and shouted inside, "Brother Jin, you're back!"

"Mother!"

A Jin, who was carrying a cloth bag on his back, happily ran towards Su Zhi.

"Mother, you came back early today!"

"Mm, I'll come back early to accompany you and my sister."

Hearing the familiar voice, a small yellow dog jumped out from the corner of the yard and pounced on A Jin with its short legs.

"Big Yellow!"

Once she saw the puppy, Dou Zi's eyes lit up. She stood up and ran over to it.

Maybe he was scared by her. Big Yellow was running around A Jin, but he didn't dare to meet her.

A Jin surrounded Su Zhi, the puppy around A Jin, the small bean around the puppy chase. The whole family was enjoying themselves, while Zhou Yang, who was watching from the side, was full of envy.

"Mother …" Noticing the probing gaze, A Jin pulled Su Zhi's sleeve and asked in a questioning tone.

"Come, call me aunt."

Madame Zhou quickly stood up and waved her hands, "I don't dare to say I don't dare to say I do."

"Dinner is almost ready, let's stay and eat together."

Su Zhi hugged the two children and smiled at her in a very friendly manner. "There are no other rules here, so you don't have to be too restrained. I'll have the coachman take you back to the inn after dinner."

Zhou Yang shook her head sadly, "I can't go back, if I don't have a child, my husband will divorce me. "My mother-in-law has long since hated me. If I don't have a child by my side, I really won't have any hope."

"Child, I'm raising it well. Even if you want it back, you can't guarantee that it will be better than mine. Moreover, your mother-in-law's personality is narrow and I'm afraid she doesn't like this granddaughter of hers."

He looked at the pair of long, fair, and sturdy children, and felt ashamed.

The place where the Zhou family village was at its end was indeed better than Xuan City. Whether the child was educated or married, it was much better than the little village in Wasteland.

However, she was reluctant to part with her child, especially after knowing that she might not be able to have another child.

"Madam, if this child is lost and I have my own thoughts, then no matter what, I will not lick my face to come and find you. Please be merciful and let me bring the child back."

Su Zhi sighed and did not answer her directly.

Mama Ding and Bi Yue brought the food. Su Zhi followed them to the kitchen to help with the dishes.

"Madam, what should we do about this girl?"

Mama Ding pulled her back and looked into the room. "I think he's a pitiful person, but it's not a good idea to hand Miss Lan over to him!"

Su Zhi sighed again and again, "Who says I don't. If that family really wanted the child back, I wouldn't have done it this way. The key point is that the old woman and her husband aren't people that can be trusted."

"In my opinion, I should not be too merciful in trying to get rid of her after eating, regardless of all that you do."

"But if that woman really can't be raised, then we can only rely on the small bean bag."

Just as the two of them were discussing their next course of action, the sound of Soybean Dumpling and A Jin's crying voice came from outside the kitchen. "Let go of my sister!"

Hearing the sound of the wind, the few of them ran out and saw Mrs. Zhou carrying the crying Soybean Pancake and kicking the door open as she rushed out.
