After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Under the force of the hoe in Yuxiu's hand, Shi Juhua had to honestly tell everyone what happened when she left the Cui family.

In her words, she was the most miserable woman in the world. The reason why she followed the peddler away was that she was deceived by his sweet words and ran away with him foolishly. She thought that after that, the two of them would live a happy life with the wife singing and the husband following her. But when she arrived at the peddler's house, she found that not only did the man already have a wife, but the woman was also seven or eight months pregnant.

Now she was in a dilemma and had no choice but to stay in the peddler's house, serving the whole family from dawn to dusk. Her life was worse than that of a slave.

It's not that she hadn't thought about running away again, but since she came to the peddler's house, she never had a penny on her, and she couldn't even tell the direction when she went out, so she didn't have the ability to find her way back to the Cui family.

She worked like a slave for the peddler for more than ten years, until a famine hit, when the peddler's parents and wife all fell ill, and their child was somehow lost on the way to escape the famine. Only then could she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, in order to win people's hearts, the peddler often sent her to serve the men who fled famine with him. If she dared to resist, she would not be able to eat even a grain of rice.

This caused severe damage to her body and mind, and she lived a life worse than death every day.

That's why she was so surprised and wanted to recognize Cui after she met her. She thought that the way they were dressed now didn't look like people who couldn't afford to eat, so she wanted to follow them and get away from her current life.

"Back then, you left your husband and children behind, saying over and over again that you two couldn't be separated and that you would be together forever. What? Are you going to regret it now?"

Cui smiled sarcastically. That time, that woman left so cruelly that the Cui family was really hurt. In addition, Uncle Cui was so angry and upset at the time that he didn't even think about getting the money back. After returning, the family lived a very difficult life.

Such difficult days lasted for several years, until the two children grew up a little and Uncle Cui went out to find a job again, and the situation finally eased a little.

Shi Juhua nodded and didn't dare to say anything. She knew that she was in the wrong back then, but it had already happened and she knew she was wrong. She couldn't just keep holding on to it, right?

"Mom, since they are a family, they shouldn't be separated. Why don't we just help them get married?"

Yuxiu smiled and helped Cui onto the carriage. She took out a large earthenware jar from the backpack and poured the kerosene inside on the peddler and the other men.

The pungent smell gave everyone a very bad premonition and they all took several steps back. The peddler even struggled to crawl outside, but was kicked by Yuxiu into the middle of the room.

Seeing that Shi Juhua still wanted to run, Yuxiu would not let her go. She stepped forward, grabbed her by the collar, and threw her on the peddler, then smashed the earthen jar in her hand at him.

When she threw the clay pot, she put a fire starter in it, and instantly the flame jumped up high.

The women who were watching the excitement were shouting and running away. Yuxiu ignored them. Listening to the miserable screams of Shi Juhua and the peddler, she drove the carriage forward. She did not leave directly, but stopped on a hill in the distance. She watched the fire burning from afar, until it was completely reduced to a pile of ashes. Then she continued on her way with peace of mind.

"Mom, my dad has probably already entered the capital. If everything goes smoothly, we will be able to reach the capital in three days."

Seeing that Cui was in a very low mood, Yuxiu knew that she was thinking about the Cui family, so she wanted to talk about something else to distract her attention.

She was not saying this casually. In the picture provided by the small system before, her cheap father had indeed entered the capital. The old man who accompanied him all the way arranged him to live in a courtyard with a good environment, and there were two servants serving him in the house.

"Really? Then let's take less rest on the way and try to find your father as soon as possible."

Sure enough, when she heard that she would be able to go to Beijing soon, Cui's eyes lit up.

"Mom is not feeling well. She needs to rest when she needs to. She can't get too tired."

Yuxiu disagreed. It might be because they were getting closer to the capital, there were fewer refugees on the road but more pedestrians.

If she left Cui in the space again, and if she was discovered by someone, she couldn't kill her, right?

It was okay to deal with those extremely vicious refugees before, but now most of the people here are ordinary people. If you start killing people again, you will probably be targeted by the government.

If her secret were discovered by someone, it would be a big trouble.

"Okay then. We're not far away. I'll just follow your instructions."

Cui had long been accustomed to listening to Yuxiu, and it was no different now. After all, her daughter knew everything, so it would be right to listen to her.

"Then mother, drink the hot milk first, and we will continue on our way."

This milk was the pregnant woman's milk powder that Yuxiu prepared specially for her. Cui was not used to it before, but now that she has drunk it more often, she feels that the taste is quite good. She picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Yuxiu liked this point about Cui. She would do whatever she was told to do and never asked any nonsense questions. She would never think of putting on airs in front of her children.

After all, it is already September, and it was very hot a few days ago. However, after the rain, the weather quickly cooled down. Today, Yuxiu and Cui both changed into thicker clothes. Yuxiu also brought a thin quilt for Cui so that she could keep warm in the carriage.

The carriage continued to move on the official road. Yuxiu looked carefully along the way and occasionally saw a few refugees on the road. The towns they passed by would not let them go directly, but arranged them to the subordinate villages to settle down.

Come to think of it, these people have come here. If we don't find a way to stop them, they will go to the capital. If the outside of the city gate of the capital is filled with skinny refugees, the old emperor will probably be very angry.

From this, it can be seen that the town managers near the capital are all capable people who will not watch things develop in an uncontrollable direction.

Yuxiu had originally thought that the road would be much safer once they got here, but as soon as she turned a corner, the scene before her slapped her thoughts in the face.

"Help! Help! Don't..."

“Hahaha… Shout! Even if you scream your throat out today, no one will come to save your lives…”

Yuxiu was speechless. She didn't expect that she would have the chance to encounter such a classic conversation.
