Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 271 Return to Liujia Village

The next morning, when the sun had just risen and the sky was still a faint pale light, Liu Xiuxiu had already climbed out of bed, quietly packed a bag, and walked out of the courtyard without saying a word.

Her steps were firm and quick. She didn't even turn back to say hello to He Daqing, and walked towards Liujia Village, which she had been reluctant to return to.

It was breakfast time, and the air was filled with the aroma of cooking smoke and food. Liu Xiuxiu rode her bicycle along the country road.

She didn't meet anyone along the way, and occasionally the crowing of chickens and barking of dogs broke the tranquility of the early morning. She rode her bike through the fields, feeling heavy in her heart, as if she was carrying a heavy burden.

Finally, she rode to her former home. It was a dilapidated tile house with firewood piled at the door. She saw a strange woman squatting outside washing clothes.

This person is none other than Wang Cuicui, the wife of Liu Xiuxiu's younger brother Liu Xiuwen. She is wearing an old blue cloth dress, with her hair casually tied behind her head. She is washing clothes in the basin with her hands, concentrating and seriously.

Wang Cuicui was washing so enthusiastically that she didn't notice anyone coming. Suddenly, she felt someone standing outside the door and couldn't help but look up.

There was a fairy-like woman standing there. Wang Cuicui was stunned for a moment. She put down the clothes in her hands, wiped her hands casually on the clothes, and asked in confusion: "Girl, who are you looking for?"

Liu Xiuxiu looked at Wang Cuicui and felt a little disgusted. She frowned and said coldly, "I am Liu Xiuxiu."

When Wang Cuicui heard the name "Liu Xiuxiu", a flash of surprise flashed across her face, and then quickly turned into displeasure. She frowned slightly and muttered to herself:

"Liu Xiuxiu hasn't been back for many years. She suddenly came back this time. I wonder what happened." Although she thought so in her heart, out of politeness, she still stood up, patted the non-existent water droplets on her hands, walked to the door and opened it for Liu Xiuxiu.

As soon as the door opened, Wang Cuicui's eyes fell on Liu Xiuxiu. She saw that Liu Xiuxiu was neatly dressed and had an outstanding temperament, which formed a sharp contrast with this shabby farmhouse. She couldn't help feeling a little jealous, but she remained indifferent on the surface.

"Mom and Xiuwen have gone to work in the fields and haven't come back yet." Wang Cuicui said lightly, with a hint of disdain in her voice. After that, she turned around and wanted to leave, as if she didn't want to say anything more to Liu Xiuxiu.

Seeing this, Liu Xiuxiu felt a little angry. She felt that Wang Cuicui's attitude was too cold and even a little disrespectful to her. But thinking that she had to ask her stepmother for help, she had to suppress her anger and did not lose it.

She looked around and saw a worn bench in the yard, so she walked over and sat down. She sat on the bench, holding the package tightly in both hands, with a firm and resolute look in her eyes. She knew why she was here and what she should do.

Wang Cuicui went back to the door and squatted there to wash clothes. While washing clothes, she looked up at Liu Xiuxiu from time to time, secretly guessing her purpose. But no matter how she guessed, she could not guess the real purpose of Liu Xiuxiu's return this time.

……

"Mom, I think we can finish the work in the field in one day," Liu Xiuwen said to her mother with a smile, wiping the sweat from her forehead, her face filled with joy of a good harvest and expectations for the future:

"Tomorrow I'm thinking of going up the mountain to see if I can bring back some prey to add some meat to our family."

When Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother heard this, she frowned slightly and gently scolded: "Child, keep your voice down. Are you afraid that others can't hear you? You are about to be a father, but you are still so unstable."

As she spoke, she gently hit Liu Xiumen's arm with a hint of reproach on her face.

Liu Xiuwen dodged with a smile, took a few quick steps, pushed open the door to the yard and shouted into the house: "Cuicui, come and save me, my mother is going to teach me a lesson again. If you don't come out to stop her, you won't be able to see me, your husband..."

He stopped talking before he finished. He blinked and looked at a bicycle parked in the yard and Liu Xiuxiu sitting in front of the door in disbelief.

There was a hint of surprise and confusion on his face, as if he was thinking: "Sister Xiuxiu? Why is she back?"

Liu Xiuxiu's stepmother saw her son standing at the door and suddenly stopped without saying anything. She felt a little strange. She walked up to him, pulled Liu Xiuwen away, looked into the yard, and saw Liu Xiuxiu.

Her brows immediately furrowed, and her face was full of confusion and dissatisfaction.

"You... why are you back?" She asked unhappily, with a hint of questioning and coldness in her voice, "I remember we broke up, is there anything else you need?"

There was obvious distance and coldness in her tone, as if she didn't want to have too much interaction with Liu Xiuxiu.
