An Ran really didn't have any idea in her heart.
After Xiao Han found out, she cried to him for a long time. When she saw Aunt Yu in the morning, she felt aggrieved.
Ding Changhe was a little annoyed and said, "Then I'll go back first."
An Ran also stood up and walked him to the door, saluted, "Good riddance, uncle."
Ding Changhe got on the horse, and after running a few steps, he turned around and saw that the door had been closed.
I don't know why, but my heart felt uncomfortable, and in my mind was the woman's calm and pretty face.
Ding Changhe wanted to tell An Ran the truth, but this matter couldn't be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
Then I thought about it, at this juncture, it might be good for An Ran and her children to live in the countryside without attracting attention.
I'll talk to An Ran in detail when I get the chance.
Ding Changhe thought gloomily as he rode back to Fucheng. ?.?????.???
But the day before taking the concubine, Ding Changhe still asked Dashan to come over and invite An Ran.
Dashan was very respectful to An Ran, "Grandma, just come back with me. In fact, I am also looking forward to your return, but I just can't bear to talk nice to you, and things are not what you think."
An Ran smiled and said, "I really don't know what your uncle would say."
Dashan was very grateful to An Ran, as he saved his life twice.
"My uncle never said anything nice, and he was very cruel to me. Those women in the house are the ones who coaxed my uncle. However, my uncle's face has not looked good these days. Maybe it will be better if you go back."
An Ran shook her head and said with a smile: "You really think highly of me. I don't have that much respect. You can go back, I won't go."
Dashan thought for a while and said: "Grandma, let me tell you quietly, this person was rewarded by the third prince. Even if he doesn't want it, he can't. It has not been easy for me these years. I know that I have wronged my grandma, so I always want to make up for it. , but grandma, you always give me the cold shoulder, how can you do this?"
"Why, do you still want me to please him?"
Dashan smiled and said, "That's not necessary. Now I'm racking my brains to think of how to please you and the young master."
An Ran looked unbelieving.
Even though Dashan said good things, he did not persuade An Ran, so he returned to Ding's house dejectedly.
Dashan is also a smart person. He doesn't know what will happen next. After coming back, he went to the kitchen to eat before going to the study to see Ding Changhe.
As soon as Ding Changhe heard what Dashan said, his face sank again.
"It's really useless. You can't handle anything like this. I'll punish you by not eating tonight. Go down."
Dashan left the study with a sad face, rubbed his belly and returned to the yard.
Ding Changhe had a sullen face and sat on the chair. He still had to find a chance to make it clear that he didn't want An Ran to be so far away from him.
That day Xiao Shitou came back and said, "Mom, I heard today that a merchant came to the town to sell goods. He said he was not far from Daliuzhuang. Is my grandma's house Daliuzhuang?"
Upon hearing this, An Ran hurriedly said: "Really, is he still there?"
"Said I'm leaving tomorrow." Xiao Shitou looked at his mother's face with excitement.
"Then let's go check tomorrow. It's been so long, and there's no news about your grandmother and uncle."
An Ran's eyes were red.
At this time, she knew she couldn't go back. After giving birth to the baby, she had more time to spare, so she tried to write a letter home.
She wrote several letters, but I don’t know if they were delivered, but there was no reply.
The journey was long and it cost a lot to send letters, so An Ran never wrote again.
If someone from my hometown really comes over, I can at least get some information.
Xiao Shitou looked at his excited mother, hugged his mother, and said, "I've asked everything clearly. If we go early tomorrow, we will definitely run into each other."
An Ran nodded, thinking about the relatives he had not seen for several years, tears still flowed down.
Xiao Shitou raised his hand to wipe away his mother's tears, "Mom, don't worry, we will know tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I will go back with my mother."
An Ran was comforted by her son and nodded, "Mom is fine."
The next day, Lao Ding hitched a donkey cart and sent An Ran and Xiao Shitou to the town.
Xiao Shitou talked to his husband and took his mother to find the merchant first.
This man did live not far from Daliuzhuang, and he made some money by reselling items back and forth.
When An Ran heard the familiar accent, he quickly asked in his hometown dialect: "Brother, I want to ask you something. If you want to know, tell me everything."
"Sister, since we are fellow villagers, there is nothing we can't say."
An Ran suppressed her excitement and said: "Daliu Village Anjia, you know, it is the family not far to the west of the village, and the family is a doctor."
The businessman slapped his thigh and said, "Didn't you know that his old man used to go around the streets and treat many people? Sister, you know this place."
An Ran smiled and said, "I am from the An family. I am married far away. I wrote letters but there was no reply. I knew you were here, so I rushed here early in the morning to ask."
The businessman sighed, "It's hard to marry far away."
"Brother, how is the An family doing now? Last year was not a good year, and food is expensive this spring, so the family can still survive."
The man nodded and said, "The life is difficult, but the An family is doing well. They collect and grow medicinal materials, and at least they can collect some, and exchange money to buy food. But last year, I heard that someone gave the An family a large cart of gifts, food. Everything is useful."
If An Ran stays here, who will give anything to the An family?
"Brother, can you be more specific?"
The man patted his leg, "I don't know much, this is Anjia
