He Hua's reaction was really strange, and even Aunt Zhang was curious, "I thought she was here to cause trouble."

The other villagers present thought the same. Jiang Chuyue, the only person present who understood, obviously did not want to say more about the matter. "The person is gone and buried in peace. Naturally, we don't want to make too much fuss."

"That's right." There were voices responding one after another. Jiang Chuyue sent away the villagers who had come to watch the show. Without wanting to turn around, she saw He Hua standing in the dark behind the wall.

"Second Aunt?" Jiang Chuyue was not sure what He Hua was planning to do.

"Chu Yue." He Hua smiled reluctantly, "I have something to tell you."

He looked behind Jiang Chuyue, who hesitated for a moment and stepped aside, "Come in first and talk about it."

He Hua followed Jiang Chuyue into the room. When Aunt Zhang saw He Hua, she was surprised, fearing that Jiang Chuyue had suffered a loss.

"Aunt Zhang, please help prepare some hot water." Jiang Chuyue spoke to calm Aunt Zhang's worried heart.

Although Aunt Zhang was worried, she still followed Jiang Chuyue's instructions and went to the kitchen. However, when she was preparing hot water and some food, she couldn't help but feel worried.

*

"Second Aunt, you came here specially, so you must have something important to tell me, right?" After entering the room, He Hua never spoke, and it was Jiang Chuyue who took the initiative to bring up the topic.

He Hua held the hot water that Aunt Zhang had just brought her, stared at the floor for a long time, and finally looked up at Jiang Chuyue.

"You should have known that your second uncle was dead a long time ago, right?" She said this with certainty and continued without waiting for Jiang Chuyue to reply.

"Your second uncle went out that day to target you. He brought the rope of a hoe with him. I saw it with my own eyes that day." Xiao Li's attitude that day made it clear that he was determined to kill Jiang Chuyue.

"What do you want to say?" Jiang Chuyue neither admitted nor denied.

He Hua stared at Jiang Chuyue for a long time, "Your second uncle deserved to die. He wanted to kill you but was dragged away by wolves. He deserved it."

"You are husband and wife." Jiang Chuyue originally thought that He Hua wanted to cause trouble, but she didn't expect her to say this. These words made Jiang Chuyue interested.

"So what if we're husband and wife?" He Hua gave a miserable smile. "When he wanted to beat me to death, he never thought about us being husband and wife."

He Hua spoke in pauses, without much logic, "If he dies, I will be relieved. I know you won't admit it, and I don't want you to bear the responsibility. He deserves it."

……

She talked a lot, and Jiang Chuyue gradually understood. He Hua had long been unable to tolerate Xiao Li's beating and scolding, but Xiao Li's death was still hard for He Hua to accept.

Because she had always been a miserable person trapped by the rules of marrying and obeying her husband, after Xiao Li's death, she felt like the sky had fallen, yet she also felt relieved. The two complex emotions intertwined, which made He Hua a little unpredictable for a while.

Jiang Chuyue shouldn't have been soft-hearted facing such a person who had plotted against her several times. However, perhaps because she saw that she had been oppressed by patriarchy for too long and was ultimately a pitiful person, she was still a little soft-hearted.

"You can support the family by yourself. Your second uncle staying at home will only cause you trouble. Why do you have to worry that the family will not be able to survive after he is gone?"

He Hua suddenly looked up at Jiang Chuyue, and there seemed to be a faint hope in her somewhat empty eyes.

Jiang Chuyue saw it clearly, "The food you earned from digging herbs with great effort, he used to feed other people. If he wasn't there, you would have a better life with the two children, and you wouldn't have to live under the guise of others."

He Hua looked thoughtful, and Jiang Chuyue tried to persuade her a little more, but whether He Hua would listen to her was her own business.

Jiang Chuyue had done what she could. Before leaving, she gave He Hua some herb seedlings and said, "You didn't come to get them before, so take them home and plant them in the fields. You can exchange them for food and money in the future. It's also a guarantee."

He Hua clutched the cloth bag containing the herb seedlings, and her eyes finally brightened up. "Thank you."

She said this thank you sincerely and earnestly. Jiang Chuyue looked at her and said, "Although it will be hard in the future, you can be the master of your own house now."

He Hua worked hard to go up the mountain to dig herbs and earn food to support her family. Xiao Li not only did not feel sorry for He Hua's hard work, but he even used the money she earned to have a secret meeting with Widow He, and even let his two children go hungry.

Jiang Chuyue couldn't stand seeing such people anymore.

However, He Hua and Xiao Li were both willing to fight and be beaten, so Jiang Chuyue never said a word. But when she really saw He Hua's helpless and numb eyes, she still softened her heart.

"You didn't have to persuade her so much." Xiao Yihao spoke suddenly.

Jiang Chuyue lowered her eyes, "Life is already hard for women in this world. If she can stand up for herself, then what I said today will not be in vain."

"You are too soft-hearted." Xiao Yihao concluded.

"What's wrong with being soft-hearted?" Jiang Chuyue also figured it out. She did it for no other reason than to make herself feel better. "If I wasn't soft-hearted, I would have just run away with the space and wouldn't have cared about you and the two children."

This time it was Xiao Yihao's turn to remain silent.

"Thank you so much for not abandoning Shuangshuang and Feng'er." After a long time, Xiao Yihao spoke, and the first thing he said was thank you.

"I'm a little uncomfortable with you suddenly being so polite." Jiang Chuyue joked with a smile.

"You should have said thank you a long time ago. Although you occupy her body, you don't have to take care of so many people in the family. You can just be like her and not care about anything." Xiao Yihao had to admit that if Jiang Chuyue had just let go like the original owner.

It is hard to say whether Xiao Shuangshuang and Xiao Feng can hold on until today, and it is impossible for his legs to be healed.

"Don't say these empty words. If you want to thank me, you have to give me some tangible benefits." Jiang Chuyue saw that he was serious, and she thought about asking for some more benefits for herself.

"What benefit do you want?" Xiao Yihao asked seriously.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Is it okay if I bring it up later when I have thought it through?" Jiang Chuyue quickly seized the opportunity.

Xiao Yihao was also very happy to respond, "As long as I can satisfy you, I will definitely satisfy you."

Jiang Chuyue, who had obtained a golden medal of immunity from death so easily, could hardly suppress the smile on her face. Xiao Yihao felt a little strange when he saw Jiang Chuyue smiling so happily in the space.

"Are you so happy?"
