Chapter 199: 199 finally goes home
The guards remained hidden in the shadows, following Ye Jiu who was leisurely riding a donkey.
Looking at the familiar village before her, Ye Jiu’s mouth curled into a wide smile.
It was only when she finally reached Wangshan Village that the guards revealed themselves to say goodbye.
People say sentiment grows as one approaches home, but Ye Jiu didn’t feel this way at all, as she excitedly tugged the donkey towards the village from a distance.
“Mother… Father, Mother… I’m back…” As Ye Jiu ran towards her home, she laughed, and as she laughed… her nose began to feel sour.
She had finally returned home, finally no longer needing to be constantly vigilant, fearing for her life, and could now throw herself into her mother’s embrace and act spoiled to her heart’s content.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as she wished.
Ye Jiu led the donkey home, and every passerby who saw her showed a look of surprise.
“Sister-in-law, nephew’s wife, uncle…” Ye Jiu was of a slightly higher status, but whether she met elders or youngsters, she always took the initiative to greet them.

But others dared not readily recognize Ye Jiu.
“Who is this young girl?”
Although they found the girl somewhat familiar, Ye Jiu hadn’t been seen much outside because of her health. Having fled from hardships, going from a chubby figure to a skinny one, her face dirty and clothes tattered, she was hardly recognizable.
“I am Ye Jiu, I’ve returned, I can’t talk much now, I must hurry home!” Ye Jiu now had no time to explain to others, as she was desperate to throw herself into Mrs. He’s arms.
Standing in front of the familiar door, tears shimmered in Ye Jiu’s eyes.
“You old good-for-nothing, hurry and do your work! If you keep dawdling, I swear I’ll send that little wretch to the mountains to become someone’s shared wife…”
The familiar scolding voice, yet it had gained a more chilling and malicious intent than before.
Ye Jiu didn’t know what had happened at home during her absence, but from Mrs. He’s fierce voice, she could tell that although her mother was still as fierce as ever, she wasn’t in good health.
Even though the scolding easily provoked disgust, Ye Jiu could only hear the hoarseness and the underlying weakness in the voice.
Ye Jiu pushed at the door with her hand, but the door was bolted from the inside, so she couldn’t open it.
With no other choice, Ye Jiu had to call out, “Mother, sister-in-law, Wenqing, Wenyu, I’m back, someone come and open the door for me quickly!”
Panic and chaos ensued in the courtyard, and in a moment, the door opened.
The woman named Zhang who opened the door looked at Ye Jiu with tears in her eyes, but was quickly brushed aside by Mrs. He behind her, “My child, where have you been all this time? Do you know how worried your mother has been…”
It was the first time Ye Jiu ever saw Mrs. He cry so heartbrokenly.
Suddenly, she couldn’t hold back her tears.
“Mother, I’m sorry, Jiujiu has been unfilial, not only failing to take care of you, but also causing you constant fear and worry.” Ye Jiu knelt on the ground and gave Mrs. He a solid kowtow.
People say you don’t know your parents’ kindness until you have children of your own, but it was during her time away from home, experiencing the cruelty of strangers, that she truly understood the value of her own family.
God knows what her days were like under the old woman Xun’s hand.
Every day filled with trepidation, yet she still had to greet people with a smile on her face. She wasn’t someone who talked much, but had to rack her brains to flatter others constantly.
