Seeing that her uncle was actually looking forward to it, Ning Xi guessed that there must be other conflicts between them and He Hongjuan that the original owner didn't know about.

Taking advantage of the free time now, Liu Chunmei talked to her manager and asked for an hour off to take Ning Xi home, and also brought back a basket of fruit.

As for where this fruit came from, Ning Xi didn't say and she didn't ask.

Anyway, the child must have been obtained through legitimate means.

"Auntie, what did I look like when I was born? Was I wrinkled like a monkey?"

On the way, Ning Xi asked curiously.

"Why do you suddenly ask this?" The joy on Liu Chunmei's face faded a little. She silently changed her hand to carry the basket and did not answer directly.

"When I went to the countryside, a family in the production team had just given birth to a baby. Everyone went to see it, and it was so ugly. Then people said that all babies are so black and ugly when they are born." Ning Xi lied with a serious face and a calm heart.

"Hmm..." Liu Chunmei hesitated for a moment, not knowing where to begin. Finally, she sighed and said, "I didn't see you when you were born."

"Why? Didn't my mother live with you before?"

Seeing that Ning Xi was quite curious, Liu Chunmei did not hide anything and briefly told her what had happened in the past.

At that time, Ning Zhibai was still in the army, and He Hongjuan was the sister of his high school classmate. One day after returning from vacation, the two suddenly fell in love and soon filed a report and got a marriage certificate.

Not long after the marriage, Ning Zhibai returned to the army. It happened that the front line was in a critical situation and needed support, so he was away for two years.

Liu Chunmei feels annoyed whenever she thinks about it now: "We lived together at the beginning. Your mom was pregnant at that time, and as soon as your dad left, she started making a fuss about separating the family.

Your grandmother has two houses, one big and one small, and the big one is the one we live in now."

At that time, everyone lived in the big house. Because the old lady had many children, she wanted to give the big one to Ning Zhisong. How could He Hongjuan agree to that? It made everyone feel very uncomfortable.

Ning Zhisong didn't want to make the old lady feel embarrassed at her age, so he took the initiative to ask for a small house.

The division agreement had been signed, but the old lady was upset and fell in the yard, suffering a cerebral hemorrhage and could not be saved.

Because the old lady died in the big house, He Hongjuan thought it was unlucky and asked for a small house and also wanted money to compensate her for the big house.

Liu Chunmei naturally refused, and the relationship between the two families became strained, without Ning Zhibai's knowledge.

Later, He Hongjuan lived alone in the small house, and her family came to accompany her when she gave birth.

"I was so careless at the time that I thought she was home alone, and as her sister-in-law, I had to go and see her." As a result, Liu Chunmei and Ning Zhisong went there with brown sugar eggs, but they didn't even see her.

"Guess what? She even dislikes the fact that we live in a big house, fearing it will bring bad luck to her. What a heartless person!"

Later, when the second child got into trouble, He Hongjuan didn't even care about the child and just left it to them. What else could she do? Could she just throw away the second child's only child?

I've raised her for several years, so how could I not have feelings for her? I can only be thankful that Ning Xi didn't inherit her mother's stubborn and unreasonable personality.

"Your mother is such a piece of shit. Later I heard that she and her mother took you to the countryside overnight. I don't know if she's crazy. How could I go and steal a child?"

Ning Xi thought, it’s not that she’s afraid that you’ll steal the child, it’s probably that she’ll steal the child herself.

"Auntie, tell me, is it possible that I wasn't born by my mother at all, and that she picked me up or stole me? Think about it, she's the kind of person that would want to ask you for money or things if you went to see her!"

The time passed quickly as they talked. Liu Chunmei opened the door with her key and shook her head, "Impossible! I think she's just afraid of the big house and feels guilty."

If she hadn't insisted on going against the old lady, the old lady wouldn't have had the accident.

"Go home and wait. I have to go back to work. Shaolan should be back from school soon. You two can play together."

Ning Xi wanted to find out more information now, so she put down the fruit basket and followed Liu Chunmei out, holding her hand affectionately.

"Auntie, I'll go to work with you. You can tell me all the old stories about my mother. Anyway, I don't think I'm her biological child. It's more believable that you say I'm her biological child."

Her little mouth coaxed Liu Chunmei into a happy smile, "You have good taste. Just ask whatever you want to know. Auntie will tell you!"

"Hey! Chunmei, isn't she going to work today?" I met an old lady on the road who came out to empty the spittoon.

Liu Chunmei: "Aunt Zhang, I just took a temporary leave and came back. I'm about to go back!"

"Who is this girl? She looks unfamiliar to me."

The old lady thought it was Ning Shaolan, but then she remembered that Ning Shaolan was a tall man, much taller than Liu Chunmei!

Ning Xi cleverly followed suit and called out, "Hello, Grandma Zhang, I'm the second daughter of this family! Haha~"

Liu Chunmei nodded: "That's right. This is my second son's daughter, and also my second daughter. Aunt Zhang, I'm leaving first. I have to go to work."

"Okay, okay, go ahead—" The old lady waved her hand, carrying the spittoon and slowly walked home, muttering, "Which second child?"

"Auntie, although my mom is a bad person, she's very clear-headed. She doesn't spend a cent of her salary, so how could she fall for Lin Yongjun, who has two children?"

According to the original owner's memory, Lin Yongjun paid for the food and vegetables for the family, and He Hongjuan rarely took the initiative to pay for household expenses.

"To put it another way, even if she wants to take my dad's job, she can definitely find someone better with her conditions. She can lower her requirements and find a handsome young man from the countryside!"
