Chapter 123 Meeting Mom Ling Hua

The worker looked up and looked in surprise at the handsome man and beautiful woman, plus a good-looking little boy in front of him.

"Guan Xiong?" Seeing that these three people seemed to be visiting relatives, they didn't look like they were here to cause trouble. However, he really couldn't remember who Guan Xiong was. He asked the people around him, "Is there anyone named Guan Xiong in Guanjia Village?"

The person next to him thought for a moment and looked at Bai Yangfan: "Girl! Are you talking about Guan Guaizi's son, Guan Lao Da?"

Guan Guaizi? Bai Yangfan was surprised: "I don't know who Guan Guaizi is, I only know Guan Xiong, and his wife is from another county. Her name is Ling Hua."

"Oh! You're talking about Guan Lao San!" The man from before reacted and looked at the girl in front of him. "His father's nickname is indeed Guan Guaizi. His family lives at the end of the village, in the house with the three dilapidated tiled houses. Look! Do you see it? It's the one with the row of diapers drying in front of the door. Guan Lao San's wife just gave birth to a daughter last month, and all the diapers belong to that girl."

Three dilapidated tiled houses? Bai Yangfan thanked the man and took Lu Jingheng and his brother to Guan Laosan's house.

When I got closer, I realized that the man was not lying. These were indeed three dilapidated tiled houses.

There are cracks in the wall as thick as a child's arm, and light shines through in some places on the roof. When it rains, you can probably sing "Water Floods the Golden Mountain" inside the house.

This house is indeed very shabby.

A blind old woman was sitting at the door, holding a baby in her arms, probably a newborn girl.

Crouching beside them was a tiny boy, about three years old, whose features bore a striking resemblance to his mother, Ling Hua. It was obvious that this was their younger brother.

Of course, he is Bai Qihang's half-brother and has no blood relationship with Bai Yangfan.

Bai Qihang looks like his father and doesn't look like a brother to his younger brother.

"Grandma! Isn't Ling Hua home?" Bai Yangfan walked into the house and put his things down. "We came to see Ling Hua. Where did she go?"

Although the old lady was blind, she had very good hearing. “You’re looking for my Ah Hua. She’s working the fields in the vegetable garden at the back. Dabao! Go call Mom back and tell her that there are guests.”

Dabao is the boy who walks steadily, runs fast, and is a little shy. He is not afraid of Bai Yangfan and the others, but he likes to hide his face.

Then he secretly looked at them, and heard his grandmother tell him to call his mother, and then he ran away.

Bai Yangfan was afraid that he would fall, so he followed him and said, "Dabao! Run slower."

Seeing the guest following him, Dabao obediently walked slower. Bai Qihang took Bai Yangfan's hand and asked her, "Sister! Who is he?"

Bai Yangfan was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to tell his brother. It was Lu Jingheng who explained, "If my guess is correct, Dabao is your younger brother, the younger brother your mother gave birth to later."

Bai Qihang's face suddenly darkened. He didn't ask any more questions and felt very sad.

Now that mom has a younger brother, she is no longer his mother, but his younger brother’s mother, and he only has a sister.

Dabao led Bai Yangfan, Bai Qihang, and Lu Jingheng to the vegetable patch in the back and called out to a woman from a distance, "Mom! Mom! Guests, guests!"

Ling Hua heard the shouting, stood up, turned around and saw Bai Yangfan and Bai Qihang, and immediately covered her mouth with her hands, tears streaming down her face.

Then he ran over, glanced at Bai Yangfan, and reached out to hug Bai Qihang.

The child is well raised and well dressed, and it looks like he doesn't come from an ordinary family.

Ling Hua couldn't say anything and just cried. Dabao looked at his mother strangely and tugged at her clothes: "Mom! Don't cry!"

Bai Qihang looked at the woman in front of him like an idiot, feeling that this was not his mother.

When did my mother become so old? She looked very beautiful when she passed away. How could this woman be his mother if she looked so ugly?

Bai Yangfan also felt that Ling Hua had become much more haggard. She looked at least forty years old despite being in her thirties. But she had chosen this path herself, so he couldn't blame anyone else.

"Mom! Are you okay?" Knowing that his brother wasn't used to his mother's hug, Bai Yangfan took the opportunity to speak and rescue him. "Is he good to you? How did you get so old?"

"Yangfan! I'm fine, and he treats me well. It's just that our family's financial situation isn't very good, and we live frugally, so our lives are a bit hard." Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Ling Hua looked at her eldest son, "Qihang! Have you forgotten your mother? I'm the one who's wronged you by leaving you behind."

"Mom! This isn't your fault, and Qihang won't blame you either." Bai Yangfan didn't want Ling Hua to leave a bad impression on his brother. "We're leaving after the New Year, so I'll bring my brother to meet you."

Ling Hua was stunned and glanced at Lu Jingheng beside him. The meaning was very clear: his daughter must be getting married and was going to leave Liujia Village with this man.

Afraid she would misunderstand, Bai Yangfan explained, "I was admitted to the Medical University in Kyoto. Next year, I will take my brother to Kyoto to study. We will come back less often in the future. I brought my brother to see you so that he can remember where mom is."

Hearing her daughter had been admitted to university, Ling Hua was overjoyed, laughing and crying at the same time: "Yangfan! How could you be so successful? If your grandmother knew, she would be so happy!"

As he spoke, he held Bai Yangfan in one hand and Bai Qihang in the other, not even caring about Dabao: "Go home, go home, let's go home and talk slowly."

Lu Jingheng was afraid that the little child would fall, so he simply grabbed him and held him up. Dabao was stunned for a long time, staying obediently in this person's arms, not daring to move.

After returning home, Ling Hua made tea for Bai Yangfan and Lu Jingheng, and everyone sat around a broken table to chat.

The blind old lady coaxed the child to sleep, then got up and went into the kitchen.

After chatting for a while, Guan Xiong came back. Seeing Bai Yangfan, he was startled and greeted him: "How come you have time to come to my house today? Are you all okay?"

Based on his experience of judging people in his previous life, Bai Yangfan sensed Guan Xiong's concern for them. Although this man wasn't very good-looking and had a rough appearance, he was a down-to-earth person.

Ling Hua had followed him in the first place, perhaps because she was attracted by his practicality. Unfortunately, his family was also very poor! They had practically nothing.

"fine thanks!"

Bai Yangfan responded politely out of courtesy, but Bai Qihang became mute from the moment he saw his mother and didn't say a word.

Lu Jingheng is a man and often deals with all kinds of people, so naturally he can chat with Guan Xiong.

Guan Xiong was very happy for Bai Yangfan when he learned that she had been admitted to a university in Kyoto. "That's good. She'll be on the government payroll when she goes out. But what about Qihang? I think we should just send her back! We have two children at home, so one more won't be a big deal. After all, he's your mother's son. I think it's good for him to be with his brothers and sisters."
