Chapter 342 Some clues
"Have you made any progress in the matter I asked you to investigate?" Although the incident of the mountain village has passed, the person behind the scenes has not been found. In addition, Su Wenyue was followed when she went out a few days ago. Han Yu tightened the investigation of this matter and finally got some clues.
"Master's guess is right. Those people are indeed related to Sun Tongpan, but their specific identities have not been verified, but it can be confirmed that they are forces from Chang'an."
"Very good, continue to keep an eye on the Sun Mansion, keep a close eye on it, and report any movement immediately." Han Yu narrowed his eyes and said, one thing he can be sure of is that the mysterious man behind the mountain village bandits and Wang Mang are definitely not in the same group. It seems that the Sun family is now playing both sides, no wonder they have been acting more and more arrogant recently.
But the Sun family acted like this, whether it was Wang Mang or the man in black, they were not simple characters that were easy to deal with. Aren't they afraid that one day they will capsize? Or are they sure that no one will find out? After all, the mysterious man is mysterious enough. Han Yu was meticulous to discover the existence of these people. Even so, it took so long to find some clues.
On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, every family reunited and stopped going out. The Han family was no exception. Su Wenyue sent the new clothes she had prepared to everyone. Not only Old Man Han and Yang, but also the second and third wives, all prepared two sets of new clothes. Although she hated Han Lin and Wang, she couldn't leave the third wife alone for the sake of her father-in-law and mother-in-law. She also made a silver collar and a pair of silver bracelets for each of the children.
To get rid of the old and replace with the new, everyone took a bath and changed into new clothes according to the customs of the village, with happy smiles on their faces. Although the world is not good and chaotic now, the life of the old Han family is getting more and more prosperous. They have grown up since they were young, and this is the first time they can change into a brand new set of clothes during the New Year. Especially the children put on new clothes, silver collars and silver bracelets, and they look white, plump and festive, like children from wealthy families. It was also after the fourth daughter-in-law married in that the family's life became better, and they were willing to feed the children, so they grew up so well.
The children all looked good, except for the third child, Si Ya. Even though she was wearing new clothes and a new collar, she was still pitiful because she was too thin and not well-fed. She looked so light in her hands that she looked like she might be out of breath at any time. She was so small, and compared with the three twins of Su Wenyue's family, they were two extremes.
Han Lin was originally very happy, but when he saw the difference between the two children, his happiness faded a little. Who would want their own children to be inferior to others, especially when they had the desire to compare with others from the bottom of their hearts? Therefore, when he saw the difference between Si Ya and the other children, he blamed Wang, the ignorant woman, for not wanting to raise her daughter well.
Han Lin thought so, and his attitude towards Wang was naturally not much better. Wang was originally twisted, and she blamed everything on Su Wenyue. She looked at Su Wenyue and the three children with a creepy look.
Su Wenyue was sensitive and stood in front of the child without making a sound. Xing Ge'er seemed to sense Wang's ill intentions. The little guy frowned, which made Su Wenyue very happy. Her mood, which was originally bad because of Hanlin and Wang, improved. With so many people around, Wang couldn't do anything. She and Han Yu were always on guard, and they would go back a few days after the New Year.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Su Wenyue distributed the reward money. The whole family sat in the hall to keep watch. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Wang was warned by Han Lin, but she sat there honestly and didn't make any trouble. Only Si Ya was pitiful. I don't know why Wang was so cruel as a mother. She just let Si Ya lie in the small rocking bed and didn't pay much attention to Si Ya. Si Ya didn't cry or make a fuss, but hummed a few times when she was hungry. Wang didn't have milk, so she just made some porridge and fed Si Ya a few mouthfuls.
Su Wenyue now has her own child, and her heart is kinder. She can't bear to see Si Ya. Si Ya is a good child, but also a pitiful one. Although she didn't live a good life in her previous life, Wang's life was probably better at that time, and she didn't have so many grievances. She was still better to Si Ya, at least she didn't treat Si Ya as harshly as she is now. Looking at Si Ya's condition, it's still unclear whether she can be raised.
When Old Man Han and Yang saw Si Ya, they frowned. They didn't say anything bad during the New Year, but just sighed. Yang was holding Yu Jie'er in her arms. She liked this blessed little granddaughter very much. She always felt that her eyebrows and eyes were similar to hers, and she got along well with her. Although she was a girl, she regarded her as important as her grandson.
"Si Ya is still so young, I'm afraid it won't be enough for her to just eat some porridge?" Su Wenyue didn't want to pay attention to the people from the third room. It would be fine if she didn't see it on weekdays, but now that she saw it, she couldn't help but ask. Si Ya's current situation also had her reasons.
Wang Shi became even more resentful when she heard Su Wenyue's words, but Han Lin wanted to please the fourth room, and besides, this was his own daughter, so he quickly said: "What my sister-in-law said is not true. Si Ya is like a kitten. I am always worried that she can't grow up, but the child's mother has no milk and can't feed her. There is no other way."
Su Wenyue looked at the three wet nurses beside her child. She hired three wet nurses because she was afraid that the child would be wronged. Now it is no problem to spare one. It is enough for three children to have two wet nurses to feed them. The main thing is that it is New Year's Eve, and there is no other way to think about it.
"Let's do this. Let the wet nurse feed Si Ya for the next few days. Later, I will ask someone to find a dairy cow or a dairy sheep and bring it back to the village. Cow's milk and goat's milk are both good for people, and Si Ya will grow better."
"That's great. My sister-in-law is kindhearted. Si Ya has received your great kindness this time. I will definitely let her honor you in the future."
Su Wenyue did this just for the sake of the child. She still had a lukewarm attitude towards Han Lin and would not respond to his words: "I am Si Ya's aunt. This is what I should do. This is not for her to honor me. She can grow up well and honor me."
Old Man Han and Yang were very comforted to see Su Wenyue like this. After all, the fourth daughter-in-law was kindhearted. Although they had such thoughts before because they saw Si Ya was pitiful, they could not open their mouths because of what the third daughter-in-law had done. Especially Yang was unwilling to wrong her grandson and granddaughter for a girl who she didn't know if she could support.
Han Yu watched from the side. He was an indifferent person. Although Si Ya was pitiful, her biological parents were still alive, so it was not his turn to take care of her. However, since his wife was kind-hearted and willing to help, he would not stop her. As long as she was happy, it was fine. However, he heard that goat's milk and cow's milk were nourishing, which made him feel moved. He had always been worried about his wife's health, and always asked the kitchen to stew medicinal food for her. She was not happy even if she ate too much. Perhaps he could get a dairy cow or sheep. He knew that those things were indeed nourishing, but he didn't know whether his wife would be happy to drink them.
