Ye Xiaotong really didn't want to go back.
In the village, there was Liu Dongliang, who knew about her past. Once she returned, he was likely to notice and even threaten her again.
She couldn't return in such a wretched state!
Yang Xiumei couldn't persuade her, so she took Wu back to the village first, saying she would come to the town to get her in a few days.
After all, there wasn't a single penny left in the house to buy food. They could starve, but the child couldn't.
At least when they returned to the village, Wu could have a full meal.
Ye Xiaotong stayed alone in the house for several days. When the landlord came to ask for rent again, she wanted to plead, but the landlord wasn't having it, giving her only three days to pay up or leave.
Ye Xiaotong was out of options, dragging her sick body around looking for work, thinking of finding a cheaper place to stay for the time being.
