Chapter 108 This is your aunt
Seeing that her husband had taken the matter into his hands, Wei did not insist any further.
If she were to ask someone to investigate herself, she would have to go through her mother's family connections.
She needs the help of the soldiers under her father's command.
Doing this is equivalent to turning a corner, which is indeed not as convenient as Baili Chen.

Su Rongrong had to go into the city to cook for Wei the next day, so she washed up and went to bed shortly after dark.
Qiaoqiao and Manman, afraid of disturbing her and Taoya, also went to bed early.
At midnight, someone knocked on her door.
The sound is particularly clear and amplified in the quiet night.
Su Jinhong, who had just put down his book and was about to blow out the lamp and take a rest, thought he had misheard.
Just as he was about to go out to see what was going on, Da Hu, who had been asleep, got up and walked out swiftly.
"Jinhong, I'll go see what's going on. You go to sleep first!"
Su Jinhong thought that Baili Zheng wanted to see Dahu about something, so he didn't take it seriously and just yawned and lay down.
In just a blink of an eye, he was already asleep, but Su Rongrong in the other kang room was woken up.
When she heard Dahu's footsteps going to open the door, she didn't get up, but pricked up her ears to listen.
At this time, Liu Quan's voice came from outside the door: "Rong girl, Hong boy, are you awake?"
When Su Rongrong heard Liu Quan's voice, and that he was looking for her and Jinhong, she immediately got up and put on her clothes.
The noise coming from outside the door quickly woke up Tao Ya, who was already sleeping soundly.
Before Su Rongrong went out, she saw Taoya, Qiaoqiao and Manman all waking up one after another, so she simply lit the oil lamp.
As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw Dahu standing at the door with a frown, while Liu Quan was standing outside the door and did not come in.
Through the dim light of the lantern, one could see that there seemed to be a few people standing behind him.
It's just that because it's so dark at night, people can't see clearly.
"Village Chief, I'm here. Do you have something to talk to me about?"
When Da Hu heard Su Rongrong's voice, he took a step back.
Liu Quan, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but sigh when he saw Su Rongrong, who had grown a little taller than before but still looked younger than her actual age.
But now that people have come to his door, he has to say what he needs to say.
"Rong girl, these people said they are your mother's relatives, and they came here specially to seek refuge with you."
As Liu Quan spoke, he turned sideways, raised the lantern, and shone it on the person behind him.
When those people heard the village chief's introduction, they pushed aside the village chief and entered the yard without waiting for Su Rongrong to speak.
One of them, a bearded man who looked to be in his thirties or forties, looked around the yard greedily and said:
"This is my eldest sister-in-law's daughter, right?
Hello, I am your uncle.
It’s all your aunt’s fault. Since there were relatives here, she didn’t come to recognize them earlier.
If he hadn't had a fever and was talking nonsense a few days ago, I wouldn't have known.
If we had told you earlier, why would we have to endure the hardship of forced labor?"
As he spoke, he pulled over the woman who was standing at the back. She looked thin but was very pregnant and about to give birth.
He pushed the woman forward and scolded her with dissatisfaction in his tone:
"This is your niece, why don't you say hello?"
After that, he asked Su Rongrong confidently, "Niece, this is your aunt Qi Jianing.
During this period, we suffered a lot and didn't even have a full meal every day.
Please quickly serve us a bowl of noodles. I want white flour. Other noodles are too rough and hard to swallow.
Also, we have suffered a lot of losses during this period, so please kill another chicken to replenish our losses."
The old woman next to him also nodded and said, "Yes, we need to kill a chicken to replenish our body.
Oh, one chicken is not enough, you need to kill two more!"
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but look Su Rongrong up and down.
It seemed that the person in front of him was not the owner of this household, but some commodity waiting to be sold.
Su Rongrong was so angry that she almost laughed. Where did this idiot come from?
Before she could even speak, the man saw that Su Rongrong was unmoved and began to vent his anger on the pregnant woman.
She seemed very dissatisfied with her silence, and even more dissatisfied with the two children who came to help her.
He immediately pushed away the two children, who were about five or six years old, and then pushed the woman who was already unsteady on her feet.
"Hurry up and speak up. Don't play dumb. If you don't say anything, I'll beat you and those two bastards to death!"
Su Rongrong looked down on domestic violence men, and even more so on men who might have to rely on their wife for a living.
You can tell at first glance that the old woman is not someone who is easy to get along with.
And this woman is definitely a softie.
How could she tolerate these people running to her house in the middle of the night and beating people in her house?
When the pregnant woman was about to fall to the ground, she reached out to pull her away, then raised her foot and kicked the domestic violence man hard.
She already had high fighting power, and after a period of recuperation with enough food and drink, her strength has become even greater.
This kick directly sent the man flying.
When the old woman saw this, she screamed, "Someone, someone is killing someone—"
When Liu Quan saw this scene, he began to reflect on whether he had done something wrong.
After all, Su Rongrong herself was still a little girl who had not yet reached marriageable age. Not only did she have to support several younger brothers and sisters, she also had to pay for her younger brother's education and save money to pay off debts.
Even if these people are really relatives from her mother's side, did he bring them here because he wanted Rongrong to support them?
The siblings had never had a comfortable life.
At this juncture, we still have to ask her to distribute her rations?
Liu Quan, who rarely thought about these things, quickly said to Su Rongrong: "Rong girl, I was wrong.
These people are disaster victims who don't want to perform labor service. Their purpose of coming here is to get free food and drink.
Don't worry, I'll have them arrested right away and sent to the government tomorrow."
When the pregnant woman heard this, she quickly looked up at Su Rongrong, then lowered her head and continued without saying anything.
The moment she looked up, Su Rongrong could see it clearly, and there was relief and comfort in her eyes.
But at the same time, Su Rongrong also knew that this person might really be her aunt.
Even though she was extremely thin, her features and eyebrows were still somewhat similar to those of Qi Jiaying when she was still alive.
Besides, the name sounds like sisters.
She still remembered that Qi Jiaying came from a wealthy family in the provincial capital.
If the person in front of her is her aunt, then they are from the same mother?
Also, how did one become a disaster victim?
As far as she knew, 70% of the disaster victims in Lanxia County came from Funing Prefecture, and the remaining 30% came from Qing'an Prefecture.
Could it be that the person in front of me is a sister from the same mother, and her stepmother not only attacked her, but also her sister?
No matter what Su Rongrong thought, this was a typical farce.
From the time the people were brought in to the time they were taken away, Su Rongrong and the others never spoke a word.
When the house became quiet, Su Manman and Su Qiaoqiao, who had come out at some point, looked at Su Rongrong thoughtfully.
