Chapter 547 - 553: Mother and Son Meet_2
Rebirth of a Farming Wife
Although the three little ones had been without their Father and Mother these days, everyoneâs concern had not diminished. Especially after learning about their Motherâs ordeal, they all cared for the little ones with a sense of pity, fearing they might suffer any grievances. Added to the care from Brother Xing, who looked after his younger brother and sister well, Han Yu and Su Wenyue were relieved to see that their children were healthy and robust.
âThey are very sturdy. Theyâve grown so much, Mother can hardly carry you all,â Su Wenyue had been grinning foolishly ever since she saw the children. The smile never left her face, as if there was no greater joy in the world.
âMother, Sister Yu missed you,â Sister Yu was a little clever ghost. Seeing her Elder Brothers being held by their Dad, she quickly took advantage of the situation and nestled into her Motherâs arms.
Han Yu did not stop Sister Yu from jumping into Su Wenyueâs embrace, as he indulged his only daughter more than anyone else. After all, Sister Yu was a girl with a smaller frame and lighter than the boys, so the Daughter-in-law could hold her without tiring too much.
âMother also missed you all. Have you been well these days?â Although the little ones looked healthy and strong, Su Wenyue still asked routinely, expressing her concern for them.
All three little ones were shrewd and crafty. Hearing Su Wenyueâs question, they glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison.
âNot at all. Without Mother by our side, no one was there to talk to us or tell us stories before sleeping,â Sister Yu said.
âNot at all. Children without their mother are the most pitiful. The neighborsâ kids all say that stepmothers are the scariest. If we get a stepmother, then weâll have a stepfather. Dad is already so fierce. If he finds a stepmother, we will be beaten to death by our stepfather!â Brother Chen tried to earn Su Wenyueâs pity, even squeezing out a few golden tears, although Mother said, âa man should not lightly shed tears.â However, he just wanted Mother to stay by their side and didnât notice the darkening expression on his Dadâs face when he heard these words.
Brother Xing silently gave Brother Chen a mental candle from the side. After all, he was young and fearless. No one knew better than he what their Dad was likeâsomeone with a ruthlessly black face, a vengeful heart, and who remembered wrongs. Having offended Daddy, this foolish little oneâs days were not going to be easy.
âMother, we canât be without you. Please donât leave us again, okay? Weâll be good and never make you angry again,â Brother Xing, not having the heart to be as rambunctious as the younger ones, also made his stance and thoughts clear, resolutely wanting to keep Mother by their side.
âAlright, alright, donât worry. This time was an accident. Mother had to leave unavoidably, but I will definitely not leave you again,â Su Wenyue saw how distressed the children were.
âRight, I forgot to ask, where are the people who were looking after you? Where are Nanny and the Servant Girl? Why are you by yourselves here? Could it be that Nanny has not fulfilled her duty?â Han Yu asked, and Su Wenyueâs brows also furrowed tightly as she followed Han Yu to the childrenâs room.
The three little ones pointed inside the room. Han Yu and Su Wenyue walked in with stern faces. Brother Chen and Sister Yu did not understand, but Brother Xing understood very well. It had been them sneaking out due to their mischievousness; they couldnât blame everything on Nanny and the Servant Girl. Ever since their Father and Mother had been absent, Nanny had not treated them as well as before, the service was lackluster, and sometimes she even threatened them. However, Nanny was cunning, these little acts all occurred behind the scenes, and in front of others, she behaved differently, which was why no one had realized there was a problem with Nanny before now.
Brother Xing had wanted to change this Nanny, but he was too young and understood that the adults would not agree without a solid reason. Even if he spoke of Nannyâs behavior, it wasnât certain they would believe a child like him, so he had been enduring until now. Now that his Father and Mother had returned, he could rid them of Nanny without worry. Mother always believed them unconditionally, even though they were only children.
Despite the noise outside, Nanny and the Servant Girl were still sleeping soundly, not even waking when they entered. Su Wenyueâs face turned unsightly. With such people caring for the three little ones, how could she be at peace, especially since Nanny had clearly heard the childrenâs cries but dismissed them without care, even threatening the children not to disturb her sleep. If it had been only a matter of being asleep earlier, there might have been an excuse, but such behavior turned Han Yu and Su Wenyueâs faces pitch black.
The more spontaneous the action, the more it revealed oneâs true nature. Nannyâs subconscious behavior indicated this was her usual treatment of the children. While they had been away, who knew how much abuse the three children had suffered at Nannyâs hands? Just thinking about it made Su Wenyueâs heart ache unbearably as she looked toward Brother Xing.
âBrother Xing, tell Mother, is this wretched servant always like this? Has she bullied you three siblings?â
In front of Mother, Brother Xing had no need to hide, lie, or exaggerate. He simply related the facts to Su Wenyue, who, after hearing, felt an urge to tear Nanny apart. Thankfully, Brother Xing was there and knew how to protect his younger siblings; otherwise, her children might have suffered endlessly.
This Nanny deserved death! Su Wenyue said hatefully. When it came to her children, a motherâs strength knew no bounds. A mother could do anything for her children, and from that moment, Nannyâs tragic fate was sealed. However, with Han Yu present, there was no need for Su Wenyue to act. Han Yu had already dealt with Nanny.
They did not do anything in front of the children, but had a secret guard muffle Nannyâs mouth and drag her away. Nanny, in her sleep, felt discomfort and, before understanding what was happening, was confusedly taken away. By the time she fully woke up, she found herself in a living hell,
