In her previous life, old Mrs. Li wished she could pluck out her heart and liver to make soup for her children, yet in her old age, she faced indifference and evasion. Her children all kept their d...
"89..." she whispered softly, her mind reeling back to Mingli's departure, her suitcase dragging. She had attended Mingli's graduation that year, and the next day, before she'd even finished her joy, her daughter, carrying her luggage, said goodbye.
At that time, the girl had a gleam in her eyes and kept muttering "freedom" and "love". She followed the blue-eyed foreign teacher and left without looking back.
Li Guifang still remembers that when Mingli said goodbye at the airport, she even said "Mom, I'm leaving" absent-mindedly, her mind and eyes full of the foreigner named Mark.
At that time, Li Mingli was blinded by love, and it happened to be a trend of going abroad, so Li Mingli resolutely went abroad. However, a few years later, she learned from the phone that Li Mingli was not satisfied with her marriage, but her life was not good!
"It's different this time..." Li Guifang took out a tin box from the bottom of the chest of drawers, which contained precious photos of Li Mingli from childhood to adulthood.
Her fingertips gently stroked the junior high school graduation photo - Mingli, with two pigtails, was standing in the third row, next to a handsome boy wearing glasses.
"Xu Minhang..." Li Guifang narrowed her eyes, suddenly remembering when she met Mingli Junior High School's homeroom teacher, Teacher Wang, at the vegetable market last year. She had mentioned this child: "He's a genius, directly recruited by a key middle school in Shanghai..."
The more Li Guifang looked, the more satisfied she became. Shanghai is great! It only takes half a day to get there by train. It's better than going to the United States! It's better than that foreign devil Mark!
As long as her roots were here, even if she went to Shanghai or abroad, she would always come back. Unlike in her previous life, Mingli's heart had followed Mark across the ocean, leaving even her soul in a foreign land.
Thinking of this, Li Guifang made up her mind. It was just puppy love. As long as her daughter didn't have to live far away from home, she thought it was perfect!
"They're a perfect match, such a perfect match..." Li Guifang smacked her lips at the photo. After seeing the photo, she had already thought of what to call her grandson!
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she tiptoed to the wardrobe and took out a cloth bag from the innermost part - that was the "bottom of the box" money she had saved for many years.
"I need to buy my daughter some nice clothes... and then find out about the Xu family..."
As soon as Li Guifang returned to the house, she started muttering to herself, climbing up and down, rummaging through drawers and cabinets, and completely ignored her neighbor who shared a bed with her!
