Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 897 - 899: You’re Leaving—Why Not Take Me Along?

Shitou’s mother cried while shaking her head, "It’s already troublesome for Little Shitou to go with you alone. Although he’s small, he can run and might not necessarily hold you back, but I..."

Shitou’s mother paused, then continued, "I’m a blind woman, I would be a burden to you."

"Sister-in-law, if that’s the case, you don’t need to worry at all. We’ll take the little goat with us, and you can ride on the goat when the time comes."

"This..." Shitou’s mother was still very hesitant, afraid that she, a blind person, would bring trouble to everyone.

"Don’t hesitate, sister-in-law. For Little Shitou’s sake, just come with us."

Xiaoxiao’s words made Little Shitou’s eyes light up. He looked at his mother with hopeful eyes, "Mother..."

Shitou’s mother was caught in a dilemma; her son’s voice clearly carried a plea, and he hoped to leave.

Seeing Shitou’s mother still hesitating, Xiaoxiao continued to persuade, "Sister-in-law, take a chance. If you can leave, you both will have good days ahead. If not, it’s not a loss; everyone can just come back."

Little Shitou held his mother’s hand, hoping that she would agree, "Mother..."

Xiaoxiao also hoped Shitou’s mother would make a choice soon, as time was limited, "Sister-in-law."

At this moment, Shitou’s mother struggled internally, conflicted. After all, she was just a woman, a woman from the old society. She felt a strong aversion and guilt about leaving and not being with her family.

But she ultimately overcame her barriers and chose her son. She nodded her head significantly, "Okay."

Seeing his mother agree, Little Shitou was extremely happy and hugged her tightly, "Mother."

Seeing Shitou’s mother agree, Xiaoxiao was also happy for this mother and son. Though bringing them along could make their escape more difficult, she didn’t regret it, "Sister-in-law, why don’t you go back and rest a while? We’ll call you at midnight, and don’t bring anything; we’ll buy things when we reach the town."

"Alright, sis and brother, I’m really causing you trouble by bringing along us, this old and young burden." Shitou’s mother agreed, grateful beyond words to Xiaoxiao.

"It’s no trouble at all, sister-in-law. There are good days ahead." Xiaoxiao’s words were sincere. As long as they successfully escaped, Shitou’s mother and son would have a better life. She couldn’t say how good life at the Grand Theater would be, but it was definitely better than here.

"Thank you, uncle and auntie. I will definitely repay you in the future." Little Shitou held his mother’s hand and bowed deeply to Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming.

Little Shitou was indeed so sensible that it moved Xiaoxiao’s heart with compassion. Xiaoxiao patted Little Shitou’s head, "Then you must strive hard. Auntie looks forward to your repayment."

"Okay, auntie, don’t worry." Little Shitou looked at Xiaoxiao with determined eyes.

Xiaoxiao could only smile and didn’t think much about repaying. She hadn’t planned that much; she just didn’t want the mother and son to be unable to live in Anding Village.

But what Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected was that a few months later, Little Shitou’s words came true. He became the mainstay of the Grand Theater, bringing Xiaoxiao endless wealth, with many people coming specifically for Little Shitou.

"Alright, uncle and auntie, we’ll go back first," Little Shitou supported his mother as they were about to walk out.

But at this moment, a voice rang out, "Beauty, you’re leaving, why not take me?"
