The wide-centered jade belt in the coarse porcelain bowl is as soft and white as even, and the poached egg lying beside the bowl is round and full, just like the Mid-Autumn Moon.

A pinch of green coriander leaves are sprinkled on the snow-white noodles, set off by the clear and bright chicken soup, and the scent of the scent can be smelled throughout the street.

It’s a pity that this bowl of noodles gradually became cold.

Grandma Su tied up her somewhat scattered white hair again, murmured and cursed, walked out of the gate and looked at the street corner, and there was no one on the old street.

At this time, every family was having lunch and no one was walking around the street.

"Grandma Su, haven't A Ci brought it back yet?" Aunt Hao from the East Courtyard asked, "It's only seventy miles back and forth, and it's time to arrive."

"Who said no! Grandma is so legged!" Grandma Su was anxiously waiting and said, "I have prepared all the noodles. I want her to get off the car and eat hot food. Who would have thought that it will be too late and there will be no one yet?"

"Stop! After all, this is the first time I am a mother, and my son-in-law is not at home, so it will take a long time to pack up the things of the children. Besides, if you forget to take anything, you must go back to get it. Don't worry, you will always wait and come back." The blind old lady in the East Courtyard also comforted Grandma Su through the wall.

Aunt Hao hurriedly said, "Mom! Why are you coming out! Come into the house quickly, I will serve you rice, and have a good rest."

As he said that, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the house.

Grandma Su was still leaning against the door and waiting. She was a neat and capable young lady. She lived alone with her daughter Su Huaici since she was young. She loved drinking and scolding people, but she was very kind-hearted.

The family's life is not rich, but it's still acceptable. Although there is no man to support her, fortunately, Grandma Su will be able to take birth. 30% of the children in the nearby villages were delivered by her.

This place is Jiangya County, which is affiliated to Yuzhou. The locals call the midwife "Grandma Jixiang", so people call her "Grandma Su". As for the real name, no one mentioned it. Anyway, she was not a local.

"Oh, the noodles are cold, let's make another bowl!" Grandma Su turned around and went into the kitchen, picked up the wine pot on the table and took a sip, tied her apron to prepare to knead the noodles again.

As soon as I scooped out the noodles, the yard door creaked open.

Grandma Su had no time to pat the flour on her hands and hurried out from the house.

But only Sister Zhu in the front yard and her big girl Fengmei were entering the door.

"What about this... Where is A Ci and the two?" Grandma Su asked, "Didn't pick it up?"

Two days ago, she asked Sister Zhu to help pick up A Ci and her mother to go to the Sanjiaji. Mrs. Zhu has a donkey cart in her house. A Ci was only one month old after giving birth, so she had to take a cart.

Fengmei is already twelve years old this year, and she is the largest in her family. The poor child has long been the family, and she has long been half an adult.

When Su Huaici was not married, Feng Mei always liked to follow her, so she would follow her mother to pick up Sister A Ci and her children no matter what she said.

At this time, Feng Mei had red eyes, and she couldn't stop her tears when she saw Grandma Su.

Sister Zhu also cried, her voice was a little hoarse, and she stepped forward to pull Grandma Su and said, "Grandma Su, my sister A Ci's life is so hard!" After that, she couldn't help but whimper.

Grandma Su had long felt that things were not good, so she held back her anxiety and asked, "What's wrong? It's so anxious! Her sister-in-law, tell me quickly!"

"We went to Fu's family to pick up A Ci. When we arrived at his house, we saw a lot of people standing in the yard, saying that A Ci was sick and there was a doctor taking the pulse!" Sister Zhu wiped her tears and said, "We didn't dare to go in and wait outside. We asked his two sisters-in-law A Ci, what disease was, and they just said that it was impure lochia. Who would have waited for a long time, but the doctor came out and shook his head and said that it would not be cured."

"Can't cure it? I'll go to his father's coffin board!" Grandma Su said after hearing this, "I'll ask them to invite Liu Jinzhen!"

"Their family hired a doctor from the village," Fengmei cried and said, "You have long said that the Fu family is not a good family, so how could they bear to pay to invite Liu Jinzhen!"

"I'll go and invite all the prisoners!" Grandma Su said, "You all go home first!"

"Grandma!" Sister-in-law Zhu grabbed Grandma Su: "It's useless, A Ci..."

"Ah?!" Grandma Su's face suddenly disappeared from blood.

Sister-in-law Zhu held back her tears, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, "Aci went as soon as the doctor left. When I went into the room, I saw that the blood under her body soaked the mat! Everyone was cold!"

"Aci... I'm a miserable son!" Grandma Su cried out in pain and fell to the ground. The wine pot on the table was knocked over and fell to the ground and cracked into pieces.

"Hurry! Go and get a bowl of cold water!" Sister Zhu shouted to Fengmei.

This voice attracted all the neighbors.

Everyone patted Grandma Su's back and pinched the people. After a long time, Grandma Su cried out again. She couldn't stop crying, and cried while crying, and no one could persuade her.

The neighbors also shed tears.

Su Huaici is only twenty years old this year. She looks so good that she feels distressed. She is gentle and literate, not like Grandma Su at all. People say that such a girl is not considered a good match for marrying a county magistrate, but she fell in love with that poor boy Fu Yu.

Grandma Su was unhappy at first, not because the Fu family was poor, but because she felt that Fu Yu's parents were not kind enough.

In addition, the two sisters-in-law in his family are not good people.

Grandma Su knew her daughter's nature and was afraid that she would suffer losses and be bullied.

But Su Huaici was infatuated and had to marry Yu. Grandma Su couldn't resist and had to marry her daughter reluctantly.

Unlike the two brothers in front of him, Fu Yu is a student. She went to the Zhouli Academy three months ago to listen to the school and take the exam. She hasn't come back yet.

Su Huaici was not at home when she gave birth to a child. Now she is dead and has not been able to meet for the last time.

Su Huaici married the Fu family for nearly two years. Because she was weak, she did not get pregnant in the first year and only had this child the next year.

Who would have thought that beauty is poor and her child is only one month old, so she will let go of her mother?

Grandma Su cried heartbrokenly and her voice was hoarse when she scolded. Everyone at least helped her into the house and asked her to lie on the bed, and persuaded her in a word.

At this time, the person who reported the death of the Fu family also came in. It was Fu Yu's younger brother Fu Bao, who is fifteen years old and has not yet married.

He had to kneel down when he reported his elders to his death. Fu Bao entered the door and knelt on the ground, saying, "Aunt Su, my third sister-in-law has turned around!"

Although Grandma Su already knew that her daughter had died, she couldn't help crying again after hearing Abao's words.

Her daughter, as beautiful as flowers and as compassionate as a Bodhisattva, disappeared like this, why don’t she beg her to death!

"When Nuaner was three days old, I went to see her well, but why did she disappear if she said nothing?" Grandma Su asked with a hoarse voice: "That's a life! A living person! It's gone like fallen leaves?!"

Fu Bao sniffed, "I don't know what to say about Auntie. I'm here to report the demise. If you have any questions, go and talk to my parents!"

Grandma Su nodded and said, "This fart is good. You are just a child's house. I can't tell you these words. Go back! I'll go to your house tomorrow and ask your parents who have been killed by thousands of swords, why did my daughter not have it!"

Unlike Su Huaici's gentle and quiet personality, Grandma Su has always been neat and clear in grudges.

"Grandma, I'll drive the car to take you there tomorrow!" Feng Mei said from the side.
