Su Miao curled up in Su He's arms, gnawing on a chicken leg. Although she was so small, her stomach was really big. She ate half a roast chicken without any movement at all.

Su Miao no longer looked as aggressive as before. She was busy eating the roast chicken. She knew that she had a sister. She heard it from her brother, and her brother heard it from their mother. Their mother said that their sister's eyes were like hers, and so were their brothers.

Su Miao glanced at Su He secretly, and unexpectedly met Su He's kind smile, which was a warm feeling. Su Miao blushed and confirmed that this must be her sister, who looked like her mother.

"Miaomiao, where did the wood go?"

"My brother went to chop firewood. My uncle said that there was not enough firewood at home, so my brother had to go. But my cousin from my uncle's family was lying on the kang at home, so my brother was always asked to go to the mountain to chop firewood. My brother is sick."

Zhang Yuan looked at the chilblains on Su Miao's hands and feet and his tattered clothes and sighed, saying that a child without a mother was like a beggar.

Uncle is Lotus’s father’s elder brother.

Hehua's grandfather Su Bingzhong married Wang Cuicui and had three sons and two daughters.

The eldest son, Su Dacheng, married He Yangliu and they had two sons, Su Yuan and Su An. Now both sons have started families and Su Dacheng has grandchildren. Su Yuan married He Yangguo and had a son, Su Dong. Su An married Wang Yunyun and had a son, Su Xing.

The second child is Hehua's father, Su Decai, who married Wang Guizhi and had two daughters and one son, the eldest daughter Su He, the second son Su Che, and the youngest daughter Su Miao.

The third son, Su Youliang, married Chen Qiuhua and had a son and a daughter. Su Yun and Su Lin are not married yet.

The fourth child, Su Mingyue, married into a wealthy family by relying on her good reputation as a lotus seller. She changed from a peasant to a city dweller and married Zhao Jin, the youngest son of a county grocery store. She gave birth to two sons and one daughter, Zhao Qian, Zhao Qingqing, and Zhao Long.

The fifth child, Su Mingzhu, is 19 years old this year. Because her elder sister married well, she always compares herself with other people and has not married yet.

In ancient times, people valued having many children, which brought more blessings. This large family has not split up until now.

Su He put on the newly bought clothes, shoes and socks for Su Miao. The little beggar immediately turned into a little princess.

"Is this for me? This dress is really warm, sister. I'm dirty and I'm afraid the dress will get dirty."

Little Su Miao was happy at first, but then she became a little frightened. She had never worn new clothes in her life, and when she was asked to put them on, she didn't know how to move her hands and feet.

"Clothes are meant to be worn. Don't worry if they get dirty. I have a set of clothes for you to change into. If that's not enough, I'll prepare some for you. Follow me in the future, and you'll have enough food and warm clothes. I'll help you if you need anything."

Su He held little Su Miao tightly in her arms, "Hey, do you want to eat this candied haws? This was my sister's favorite when she was a child."

"Yes! I will only eat one and leave the rest for my brother. He is sick."

"No need, sister bought 6, three for you and three for brother, you all have something to eat, Miaomiao is really sensible!"

The more Su He looked at Su Miao, the cuter she found her. She couldn't help but kiss her. Now Su Miao was completely shy. She had met her uncle's mother Dongdong before, and Dongdong was very happy.

It turns out that kissing is so powerful, and she is very happy now.

Su He looked at the tattered cotton-padded jacket at her feet, her heart filled with anger. The silver that she had asked her cousin Lanhua to bring was obviously swallowed up by someone. These people did not even leave any for Miaomiao and the others. In the end, she was too stupid to actually believe that these people still had a conscience.

By the time the village chief arrived, Su Miao had already finished a whole candied haws.

Hearing the noise outside, Su He's smile faded slightly. It was time, there were a lot of people around, and it was suitable for a quarrel.

"Miao Miao, let's go. You can follow Mother Zhang while your sister is busy."

Su Miao nodded solemnly and followed Su He out of the car with a serious face.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I haven't seen you for 8 years. You are still in good health."

Su Bingyi is 50 years old this year. Although in ancient times people of this age would be half buried in the ground, Su Bingyi believes that he can be the village chief for a few more years without any problem.

He had a good memory. Even though they hadn't seen each other for eight years, he still recognized Su He when she got off the bus and walked to the next stop.

"Hehua, you are so old now, where have you been these years?"

"I was bought into the Zhao Mansion as a maid. My father told me that my mother was seriously ill and the family had to support my younger brother, so he advised me to sell myself for money. So I signed a death contract and entered the Zhao Mansion. Now my mother has passed away, and I heard that my father wants to remarry. The family has no money, so he wants to sell Miaomiao to find a wife. As an elder sister, if I let my younger sister follow my path, how can I face my mother when she dies."

The people around were shocked after hearing this. Why was what this Lotus Girl said different from what they had heard?

The villagers had long known that Su Bingzhong's second and eldest daughter had sold herself as a maid. It was said that she had taken the initiative to find a man and sold herself to pay for her mother's medical treatment. Because of this, the remaining girls in Su Bingzhong's family were all very pretty. The fourth daughter of the family happened to be looking for a man at the time, and in the end she asked for a huge sum of money from the man.

Su Bingyi did not expect Su He to be so straightforward and to talk about the family's dirty laundry in front of everyone. What surprised him even more was that Su He actually said that she did not sell her body on her own initiative.

Although Sanshi Village was not wealthy, some people sold their children when they could not survive during a famine, but they did not sign a death contract. They would only sell their children for ten years and then they would get their children back. Moreover, the weather had been good for the past ten years, so why would they sell their daughters?

He had no idea that Su He was forced to sell herself into slavery.

"Hehua, I don't know about this, but don't worry about Su Miao's matter, your father will not do such a thing."

Su He didn't believe it. If something like this happened once, it would happen again. She now had all of He Hua's memories. Although it was her uncle's family who wanted to sell her, as long as Su Decai objected, there was no way He Hua would be sold.

"Who said they wanted to sell Su Miao? Who slandered our Su family so viciously? Village chief, you have to make the decision for us."

A woman with a round face wearing a blue cotton jacket walked towards everyone.

The carriage had been parked at the door of the Su family for half an hour, and no one came out. When they saw the village chief coming, everyone in the village came to watch the show, and the situation became uncontrollable before someone came out.

Su He sneered, this must be He Hua's great aunt.

When I was a child, I thought my aunt was gentle and kind, but now it seems that she is just a smiling evil ghost.

"It was Fatty Ming from Grandma Li's family who said that. Everyone knows that you want to sell me. You sold my sister when I was a child, and now you're still thinking of selling me. Be careful, my mother will come looking for you!"

The speaker was three-year-old Su Miao. She knew a lot at such a young age, but she had no support before, so her brother told her to hold it in. Now that her sister was here, she could no longer hold it in.

"You! You little girl, your mother died young because of you. I also took care of you when you were a child. How can you say that? I am really wronged."

He Chunliu didn't expect that the three-year-old Su Miao actually knew that it was her idea. She was a little flustered for a moment, but she finally held it back.

"You never brought me up! I was raised by my brother, you liar!"

Su Miao was young after all, and when he heard what his aunt said, he was so angry that he wanted to get off He Hua, and it was obvious that he wanted to fight her in a duel.

Su He found it funny. This little guy would explode at the slightest provocation.

"Hearing what Great Aunt said, Su Miao actually grew up under Great Aunt's care?"
