CHAPTER 227: CHAPTER 227: IMPOSSIBLE TO FORGET

Sun Daji’s wife knew that Mrs. Duan wanted one hundred taels. When Mrs. Duan heard the escort fee was a hundred taels, she immediately cursed Sun Daji’s wife as being poverty-driven crazy.

Ever since Ning Chuyu had said those unpleasant words earlier, Mrs. Duan now also felt discontent with her daughter, clutching the money-containing bundle tightly to her chest.

Why?

Because she no longer trusted her daughter.

Unexpectedly, in her daughter’s heart, she was seen that way. She really didn’t expect it.

You could say Ning Chuyu’s words were a dimensional blow to Mrs. Duan. But now, considering they were in public, she held back from arguing with her daughter.

"Find an Escort Agency, then find an Escort Agency. It’s not like we don’t have money.

Daughter, let’s go, we’ll go find the Escort Agency."

Mrs. Duan went to pull Ning Chuyu. Ning Chuyu didn’t move, and with a stronger pull, Ning Chuyu stumbled but still didn’t leave, only stared at Su Jingchen blankly.

"Mother, I don’t want to go to Caozhou, I want to stay with Brother Jingchen."

"Slap!" Unable to hold back, Mrs. Duan slapped Ning Chuyu, "Are you going or not?"

Ning Chuyu covered her slapped face, frozen on the spot.

Taking advantage of Ning Chuyu’s dazed moment, Mrs. Duan dragged her away.

Ning Chuyu was dragged onto the carriage by Mrs. Duan, looking back every few steps, and then Mrs. Duan drove the carriage away.

Sun Daji’s wife happily said, "Finally left, Xiaolian, you really have a way, these two almost drove us crazy, so annoying."

Yu Xiaolian looked at Su Jingchen, "If you’re worried, you can go with them, we’ll meet in Luocheng."

Su Jingchen didn’t know where Yu Xiaolian saw that he was worried about Mrs. Duan and her daughter, but he still explained, "Letting them find an Escort Agency is good."

Yu Xiaolian scrutinized Su Jingchen’s expression and then asked, "I drove them away, you’re not angry?"

Actually, at first, Yu Xiaolian intended to pair up Su Jingchen and Ning Chuyu. After all, in the book, Su Jingchen never married after breaking off his engagement with Ning Chuyu.

Yu Xiaolian thought that Ning Chuyu must be special in Su Jingchen’s heart, otherwise, why wouldn’t he marry for a lifetime?

After Su Jingchen graduated in the top rank, he was greatly favored by the former Emperor. After the former Emperor died and Jun Yian ascended the throne, it was the highlight of Su Jingchen’s life.

A favorite of the Emperor, who wouldn’t want to marry their daughter to him? Not to mention, Su Jingchen was also handsome and resourceful.

Yu Xiaolian remembered that Jun Yian seemed to have even arranged a marriage for Su Jingchen, but Su Jingchen politely declined, citing his poor health as unsuitable for marriage.

All these factors, in others’ eyes, indicated that Su Jingchen couldn’t forget his old feelings for Ning Chuyu.

Yu Xiaolian thought so too.

She remembered that after Su Jingchen graduated as the top scholar, Ning Chuyu had gone to the Capital to look for him, but because she offended Su Jingchen’s steward with her words, she never even saw his face.

In Yangcheng, Yu Xiaolian had reminded Su Jingchen of these matters, just to prevent lovers from becoming strangers.

But now, she couldn’t quite understand Su Jingchen.

Because Su Jingchen said calmly, "Why should I be angry?"

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, looking like he was in a good mood.

Well, it’s best if he’s not angry.

The loud argument with Mrs. Duan had already woken up most of the Sun Family.

Yu Xiaolian straightforwardly distributed clothes to them.

In order to buy these ready-made clothes, Yu Xiaolian visited every single clothing shop in Weicheng. After distributing a piece to everyone, there were still many clothes left. Yu Xiaolian had those few children with thin clothing take an extra set each to change and wear later.

"Thank you, niece..."

"Thank you, Sister Xiaolian..."

Yu Xiaolian was quick to wave off, "No, now I’m a man, don’t call me wrong. If the government officers hear and match the road permit, and find out I’m a woman, they’ll easily capture me.

Uncles should call me big nephew, and you little ones should call me Brother Yu, don’t get it wrong."

Yu Xiaolian cheerfully gave instructions, then picked up a baby beside her, "Come, call brother for a listen."

"Giggling..."

When the baby spoke, it showed four front teeth, and seeing the teeth not grown in fully, Yu Xiaolian curiously asked, "Whose child is this? How old are they?"

Sun Dalin replied with a silly smile, "This is my grandson, his name is Sun Huaixing, not yet two."

"Oh, whose brother’s child is it? Really cute."

Sun Dalin’s eldest son Sun Manying hastily said, "He’s mine, my wife had three daughters before having this son."

Although Sun Manying is the eldest of the grandson generation, his son is the youngest of the great-grandson generation. Not for any other reason, his brother Sun Mantao has two sons, both older than his son.

It took Yu Xiaolian the whole afternoon talking with the Sun Family members to map out the grand relationship web of Sun Sillin’s family.

Sun Sillin has five sons, named Dalin, Erlin, Sanlin, Sillin, and Wulin respectively.

Sun Dalin has four sons and a daughter.

The four sons are named Manying, Mantao, Manbo, and Manyang, and they are all married.

Only his fifteen-year-old daughter Sun Manyu is still unmarried.

Sun Erlin has four children, two sons, and two daughters.

The two daughters have been married for years, and accompanying him are two sons, one named Manjin, twenty years old, married for two years, and without children.

The other is named Manyin, eighteen years old and still single.

Sun Sanlin has two sons, one called Manjiang, twenty-two years old. The other is Manliang, sixteen, and neither is married.

Sun Sillin has two daughters, one fourteen and one twelve, named Manxi and Manxia.

Sun Wulin has four children, two sons, and two daughters. The eldest daughter Manyun is thirteen, the second son Manqing is twelve, the third daughter Manyue is ten, and the youngest son Mansheng is eight.

Sun Dalin’s eldest son Sun Manying had three great-grandchildren with Sun Sillin, the first two being great-granddaughters. The eldest is Sun Feixue, twelve, and the second is Sun Qingxue, six.

The following one is less than two-year-old Sun Huaixing.

Sun Dalin’s second son Sun Mantao also has two sons, the eldest ten years old, named Sun Huaimin. The second is six, named Sun Huaiwen.

Sun Mantao’s wife is also pregnant with another child, over seven months now.

Sun Dalin’s third son Manbo has two daughters, one eight and one four, named Dongxue and Qiuxue respectively.

As for Sun Manyang, he is twenty-two years old and hasn’t married a wife yet.

Sun Sillin and his wife introduced everyone to Yu Xiaolian one by one, and Yu Xiaolian nodded and smiled at them, only to not be able to recognize anyone afterward.

Remembering so many people at once was harder than passing an exam.

The one who left the deepest impression was Sun Mantao’s wife, because she had a big belly and was extremely skinny.

Besides the large belly, Sun Mantao’s wife was thin to an alarming degree, with skinny arms and legs. Watching her walk a few steps while holding her belly, she seemed to sway.

Yu Xiaolian worried that her skinny legs couldn’t support the heavy belly.

Too thin, really too thin, Yu Xiaolian found it hard not to remember her.
