Chapter 49: The Chen Family, Everything Not Going Well

Sui Sui felt she told today's story poorly and her performance was lacking.

She summarized and thought it was probably because she had listened to too few stories.

Thinking of these, Sui Sui was clearly sleepy, yet she firmly nodded.

【Listen!】

Hearing Sui Sui's feedback, the system smiled kindly.

【Sui Sui performed very well.】

【One must bravely and firmly express what's in one's heart.】

Sui Sui thought, Le Le's meaning was probably to bravely speak up.

Before, she didn't dare.

From now on……

She can try.

Because, she has a brother!

Her brother is her greatest confidence and capital!

After the child's interaction with the system ended, a pretty aunt appeared in Sui Sui's consciousness.

The pretty aunt looked neat and spry.

After seeing her, Sui Sui's lively big eyes became even brighter.

This aunt……

She looks like a heroine!

The other party had words on her head; Sui Sui knew that was the aunt's name.

Unfortunately, Sui Sui didn't recognize her.

When Xie Dao Yun saw Sui Sui, she was dazed for a moment.

Through time, through the system, Xie Dao Yun seemed to see her young daughter.

The scene flickered, and it was the later war, when news of the children's deaths arrived, that heart-piercing pain.

She thought that a lot of time had passed.

So long that, even after a hundred years, she gradually forgot everything.

But she didn't expect it to be just a momentary daze.

The river of time seemed to pull her back to the beginning again.

Xie Dao Yun paused a moment, then spoke softly, trying to make her voice sound as gentle and loving as possible.

【Hello Sui Sui, I am Ling Jiang Yi Yi.】

Sui Sui didn't know why Ling Jiang Yi Yi had looked so sad just then.

But since the other party had proactively greeted her, she wanted to be a polite good child.

Sui Sui quickly responded.

【Hello Ling Jiang Yi Yi, I am Sui Sui.】

Seeing Sui Sui's cute and carefree smile, Xie Dao Yun's eye sockets moistened a bit.

She thought, the current state of the world should be good.

Perhaps it's not a scene of clear rivers and peaceful seas, but at least there won't constantly be wars and rebels.

After suppressing her feelings, Xie Dao Yun spoke softly: 【Sui Sui, the story aunt tells you today is: In this world, among the myriad people coming and going, the only thing one can ultimately rely on is oneself.】

Sui Sui didn't understand clearly; she wanted to ask but didn't know how, so she could only listen obediently.

Moreover, Ling Jiang Yi Yi looked quite sad.

Sui Sui thought, if she behaved obediently and didn't ask too much, would the other feel better?

Xie Dao Yun was telling a story, and also talking about herself.

The first half of her life was prosperous like brocade.

The second half of her life was desolate and sorrowful.

This life was too long.

So long that, before Xie Dao Yun finished speaking, Sui Sui had already fallen into a sweet dream.

Seeing this, Xie Dao Yun instead felt a sense of relief.

In the latter part of the night, Xie Dao Yun finished reviewing her life.

She lightly tapped Sui Sui's little head, her voice soft, not knowing whether she was speaking to herself or to Sui Sui.

【Sui Sui, the world is good now; you should strive to be yourself~】

The next day, the weather remained overcast.

Although Prince Qing wasn't in a hurry to return to Jing Cheng, delaying his return still didn't look good.

So he inquired around and consulted experienced elders, all saying the probability of rain was low.

After returning, Prince Qing organized everyone to pack up and set out.

When Sui Sui woke up early, she still thought she must tell her brother a new story today.

The result, after eating, she discovered……

Her mind was empty.

Sui Sui:?

She had clearly listened to the story seriously last night.

She still remembered that the storyteller was Ling Jiang Yi Yi.

So how did she forget it?

Sui Sui scratched her face, puzzled.

Liu Dafu stood to the side watching, and thought she felt uncomfortable on her face, he asked softly: "What's wrong with your face? Is it itchy?"

Recently, it's the season when willow catkins are flying.

Some people are allergic to the floating willow catkins, and Liu Dafu has encountered many such cases before.

He was worried Sui Sui might be the same, so he asked an extra question.

After hearing that, Sui Sui shook her head: "No, I just wanted to scratch."

Knowing it wasn't an allergy, Liu Dafu felt much more relieved.

Feng Xuanrui didn't understand, but seeing the carriage ready over there, he came over and took Sui Sui's hand: "Sister, let's go!"

Sui Sui obediently let him lead her.

The two children got onto the carriage, and Qing Shui followed them up.

Liu Dafu wasn't at ease with the three children together, so he also got on.

Prince Qing rode a horse and did not ride in the carriage with them.

They were not far from the next town.

Although they weren't in a hurry, they arrived after half a day.

Seeing that it was still early, Prince Qing studied the map and then decided to continue on the road.

After everyone simply sorted out the supplies, they continued onward.

When the sky grew dim, they successfully reached the next town.

Compared to the town they had stayed in before, this town is relatively quieter.

Since it just got dark, the town's streets are very quiet; aside from the restaurant and the fireworks area, other places don't even have lanterns.

Liu Dafu looked and couldn't help but sigh: "It looks quite tranquil."

Prince Qing raised his head to look at the overcast sky, nodded: "Maybe it's because of the weather."

Today, while traveling, it didn't rain; Prince Qing was already very grateful.

Looking at this pitch-black sky now, Prince Qing always feels that it's likely to rain tonight.

Sui Sui's bedtime story for tonight came up empty again.

Regarding this, the system was speechless.

Sui Sui has already gotten used to it.

She thought, Le Le was right.

Worldly affairs will never be perfect in every way.

So, letting go, opening up, seems not bad either.

Moreover, she really didn't remember yesterday's story.

Sui Sui decided to recall a bit tonight.

See if she can recall any details, then tell her brother.

The siblings had traveled all day, and their bones ached from the bumps.

So, after eating and washing up, they went back to bed to sleep.

After Liu Dafu coaxed the two children to sleep, he then went to sleep.

Looking at the dark, heavy sky outside, Liu Dafu muttered softly: "This sky, the days of that family of scumbags, probably aren't easy either?"

After being beaten, on a cloudy rainy day, their bones must surely hurt, right?

In fact, the Chen Dalang family's life is worse than just not easy.

Chen Dalang and Tian Cuihua feel that lately everything is going wrong!

First, Chen Dalang was sleeping at home at night when unknown black-clothed people broke in and broke his left leg.

The leg injury isn't too serious; after setting the bone and resting, it will heal.

However, spring planting is about to start; at this time he injured his leg, leaving the household short of a laborer…

Tian Cuihua stood in the courtyard, scolding for most of the day, still not appeased.

She felt that it must be the villagers jealous of their family that dealt the black hand!

As a result, blessings never come in pairs, misfortunes never come alone.

Not long after, when Chen Dalang went to the outhouse, he didn't steady himself and fell into a pit; if he hadn't struggled out, he might have suffocated to death.
