Su He was stunned when she heard what Lan Hua said. For some reason, she only had memories of the time after He Hua entered the mansion. So she knew nothing about the original owner's family. It was only through the memories before He Hua's death that she learned that her home was in Sanshi Village and she had a younger brother.

According to the original owner's memory, his younger brother should be 8 years old now.

When Chrysanthemum saw that Lotus was slow to respond, she thought she was sad and hurried to comfort her.

"Lotus, why don't you go visit your family on your day off? They must be thinking about you."

Before Su He could react, Lan Hua secretly glanced at Su He and spoke again.

"Sister Lotus, isn't your home in Sanshi Village? I remember it takes three hours to get there by carriage. We only have six hours outside on our days off, so you probably won't be able to make it."

After saying that, he felt that he had said something wrong and wanted to make amends anxiously, "Don't be sad, my father has a cousin who lives in Dahe Village next to Sanshi Village. I can help you find out about your family's current situation."

Su He came back to his senses and thanked Lanhua with a smile.

"Thank you for your help, Lanhua. I have some money here. I'll use it as your uncle's errand fee..."

"I don't need your money. My cousin is a tradesman and has to travel around from time to time. I'll ask my father to tell my cousin tomorrow. I'll have news in two days. Don't worry."

Although Lanhua is timid, she also knows what is right and what is wrong. She takes advantage of Lotus every day and now that she can finally help, she doesn't have the nerve to ask for money again.

Su He stopped insisting. Ju Hua was relieved to see that He Hua was not angry, and quickly changed the topic to talk about something else. However, after this incident, the atmosphere was not so good.

It wasn't long before the three of them fell asleep.

Su He closed her eyes and entered the space, using her consciousness to take care of the vegetable garden on her own acre of land. Since she came here, Su He worked as a maid during the day and worked as a farmer at night. It is worth mentioning that she is much better off than other farmers. It is quite easy to work with consciousness, and the land is fertile. Su He was very happy looking at the vibrant vegetable seedlings.

That night, Su He had another dream. The little Lotus in the dream was very small, about 5 years old, with a pale face and thin body, even thinner than when she was in Zhao's house.

She was sitting in a horse-drawn carriage, and the people who were driving were young men. Someone kept calling her from behind the carriage.

Su He followed Xiao Hehua and looked back. There was an equally thin figure running desperately, shouting, "Hehua, don't go."

Wang Guizhi lost her shoes while running and finally failed to catch up with her daughter.

Su He looked at Lotus crying and felt pain in her heart.

On the day off, Lanhua left home early, and Juhua got up half an hour later than usual and left. She was worried about her younger brothers and sisters, and thought about buying some snacks on the way to satisfy them. Although the home was poor, it was still a home, and she was still looking forward to it.

Only Su He slept until noon and did not go out for lunch. She quietly ate a bowl of wontons that she had stockpiled earlier, just as if she was going home.

Whenever she thought of Hehua's family, she got a headache.

She then learned that it was He Hua who decided to sell herself to save her mother. He Hua's mother, Wang Guizhi, was unable to conceive for a long time after giving birth to He Hua. It was not until eight years later that she gave birth to a son, Mu Tou. Because she accidentally fell while pregnant, her body was not well recovered and she had a difficult delivery. She risked her life to leave an offspring for her husband.

After giving birth, I was bedridden for half a year before I started to get out of bed and walk.

Little Lotus saw everything. She saw her thin brother crying for hunger every day because he had no milk to drink, her bedridden mother crying every day, and her taciturn father. Lotus made an important decision. She would sell herself to get money for her mother's medical treatment, and keep the remaining money for her mother's health.

The boy said that if she sold herself she would never see her parents again. Hehua felt reluctant to let go, especially her younger brother. He was so cute and she had only hugged him once.

But she secretly heard from her aunt that her mother needed to drink pig's trotters to increase milk production, so she sold herself for 15 liang, 10 liang for her mother to buy medicine, 4 liang for her mother to buy meat and pig's trotters, and 1 liang for her younger brother as a gift. Before she left, she made an agreement with her father to buy her younger brother a candied haws and a candy man every year. She thought that her younger brother would be very happy to eat the candied haws, and every time he ate it, he would remember that he had a sister.

The eight-year-old Lotus was skinny and small, and looked like she was only five years old. She sold herself into the government house out of reluctance to leave her family. She had no idea that her fate would be so miserable.

When Mu Tou was four years old, Su Decai and Wang Guizhi did come to the Zhao Mansion to look for Hehua, but they were deceived by Wang's mother who happened to pass by. Su Decai and his wife thought that their daughter didn't want to see them, so they left sadly after leaving the clothes and food they had prepared.

Of course, these things were embezzled by Wang's mother, and Wang Guizhi could not accept her daughter's indifference, so she fainted when she returned home. Su Decai hurried to find a doctor, who found that Wang Guizhi was pregnant again.

This time the pregnancy looked bad and even the doctor advised her not to keep the baby.

But Wang Guizhi was extremely persistent and she was no longer willing to give up her child.

After eight months, the baby was born prematurely, a thin girl. Wang Guizhi named her Miaomiao.

A month later, Wang Guizhi insisted on celebrating her daughter's full moon, and then left with regret and reluctance.

Lotus in the mansion knew nothing about this.

Su He put on her clothes and was thinking about going out for a walk when she saw Lan Hua, who was supposed to be at home, running in.

"He, Haer, lotus~flower~"

Su He saw that Lan Hua was out of breath, so he quickly helped her sit down on the bed.

"Take your breath first, don't be in a hurry, and speak slowly."

Lanhua took a long time to finish her words.

"Hehua, when I got home today, I happened to see my cousin at home. He actually knew your family!"

After Lanhua finished speaking, a look of pity flashed in her eyes, "Lotus, don't be sad after hearing this."

"Your mother passed away three years ago. Your father is getting ready to marry again."

Su He felt as if she had been hit by a heavy punch on her chest, which made it difficult for her to breathe. Now it was Lanhua's turn to support her.

No, this is not her feeling. Didn’t Lotus leave?

"Hehua, are you okay? Don't worry. Your brothers and sisters are all here. Oh, your mother even gave birth to a sister for you. Her name is Miaomiao."

Miaomiao?

"My mother died of complications during childbirth?"

"Yes, your sister passed away after she was one month old. She is three years old now."

Lanhua looked at Hehua timidly and said, "I heard from my uncle that your father is going to marry a relative from your aunt's family in three months. Your grandparents have already gone to make trouble once, but it was useless."

Su He only felt extremely sad in his heart, it was the lotus flowers crying.

"I see, Orchid, can you help me with something?"

Su He pretended to take out a piece of silver from under the pillow, but actually he took it out from the space, which contained five taels of silver.

In addition to giving Lanhua to my cousin, the remaining five taels of silver was enough to keep the wood and seedlings nourished for two months.

She will definitely go back within two months.
