"Uncle Xiao, didn't you see that my mother's hair fell out in clumps from being beaten? If I hadn't stopped her, she would have jumped into the well."
"Wow...Uncle Xiao, my mother has never enjoyed any blessing."
"When my father was alive, he often beat and abused her. He suspected that my mother was having an affair with a man in the city. My grandmother also beat her and didn't give her any good food during her confinement. I finally managed to get them through this, and now that I've encountered something like this, you must help me enlighten her. My mother is all I have left, and I can't live without her!"
Huang Wanqing's tears flowed into the wound, stinging her and making her grimace.
Post photos on the street?
Why do these words sound so familiar?
Xiao Chengda's expression became more and more serious. He clearly remembered that when Gu Xiufang beat him last time, she threatened him that if he met Qin Taoxian again, she would take a picture of Taoxian's face and stick it on the wall for everyone to see.
How dare she!
Thinking that it was Gu Xiufang who did it, Xiao Chengda was too embarrassed to face Huang Wanqing: "I'm sorry, Wanqing, uncle will ask for leave first and go visit your mother later."
Huang Wanqing nodded eagerly.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here."
Xiao Chengda went back to the research institute to ask for leave, and after handling the matter, he came out in a hurry and motioned Huang Wanqing to go forward: "Don't waste time, go over quickly."
The tire was flat. He had walked here in the morning and had to walk to Qin Taoxian's residence.
The place Huo Xiaoman chose for Qin Taoxian was farther away than originally planned, requiring more than half an hour's walk. By the time Xiao Chengda reached the destination, he was panting with exhaustion, his shirt soaked with sweat, and even his socks were wet.
As he walked, he was very anxious. He entered the room and lifted the door curtain: "Taoxian, are you okay?"
"Wanqing said you were so depressed that you wanted to jump into the well. What's the point? Wait until I get here to talk!"
In the small farmyard, the owner was an old lady who had gone to live with her son. She was afraid of the cold, so she built a kang in the house and Xiao Chengda sat sideways on the edge of the kang.
Qin Taoxian was lying in bed facing the wall. Upon hearing this, she pulled the corner of the blue quilt over her face and said weakly, "This kid...why did he bother you again?"
Xiao Chengda glanced towards the door, but didn't see Huang Wanqing. He turned around and reached out to pull Qin Taoxian's shoulder: "Let me see."
Qin Taoxian did not resist. Her eyebrows were bruised, the corner of her mouth was slapped, and there were several handprints on her neck. She looked pitiful.
She was so embarrassed, but she still forced herself to smile: "I was just impulsive yesterday. Don't worry, I won't die."
"Wanqing has suffered with me since she was born. She has never had a single day of comfort. I am useless... I can't give her a complete family, and I don't dare to leave her alone in this world."
"Chengda, I don't want to be here anymore."
Tears fell onto the pillowcase, and because she cried so hard, veins popped out on her forehead. Qin Taoxian looked so pitiful, gentle, innocent, and lovable.
There were a few white hairs mixed in her temples. Seeing those white hairs, the words that were suppressed in his heart came out of Xiao Chengda's throat: "I wanted to take you back to the city, why didn't you come back?"
He was assigned to go to the countryside, and Qin Taoxian brought him meals. After a few visits, they fell in love. One rainy night, they gave each other their first time in a cave in the back mountain.
Xiao Chengda loves Qin Taoxian terribly.
After the mission was over, he wanted to take her away, but she did not show up and turned around to marry someone else.
The young and energetic Xiao Chengda returned to the city alone and was with Gu Xiufang. Gu Xiufang was stunningly beautiful when she was young, and she quickly diluted the discomfort in his heart.
There wasn't much excitement after marriage, but life was still enjoyable.
It wasn't until I received a call from Tao Xian some time ago and saw her again that the resentment and nostalgia buried deep in my bones came flooding out.
When he was panicking, he could even smell the special smell of rain and soil mixed together that day.
Qin Taoxian's tears flowed even more violently, and she shook her head, laughing and crying: "Why bring up the past again?"
Xiao Chengda didn't give up: "I want to know."
"Chengda, you are a city dweller, well-educated and cultured. I am just an ordinary woman. How can I be worthy of you? Even if you can accept me, where are your father and mother?"
"Will they like me?"
"I don't want you to be embarrassed. I hope your talent will be buried in the cow dung-filled land at my home."
Qin Taoxian had studied when she was a child. After Xiao Chengda left, some educated youth came to the countryside. She borrowed a few books from them, and her conversation was somewhat literary.
Xiao Chengda's eyes turned red: "Then let me ask you, whose child is Wanqing?"
Finally asked this question.
Qin Taoxian pretended to be flustered: "No, it's not yours."
When he asked Wanqing to go find him, he revealed in advance that she was abused by her husband and beaten by her mother-in-law.
Looking at her reaction, Xiao Chengda could guess what she was saying: "Lie!"
"It's obviously my child. Why would your in-laws dislike you if it's not my child? You've suffered so much, haven't you suffered enough?"
"Don't you think about yourself? Don't you think about your children?"
Qin Taoxian sat up and shook her head while crying: "No, Chengda, listen to me..."
"Live your life well. It's already a dream come true to see you again in my lifetime. You have your own family, and I don't want to destroy it."
It is true.
Wanqing...is his child!
It's his first child!
But he made Wanqing suffer so much outside.
Guilt and embarrassment flooded my heart.
"You don't want to cause trouble, but someone doesn't want to let you go. Do you know who sent the person who beat you up and forced you to leave yesterday? It was Gu Xiufang who sent them!"
"You've been so tolerant over and over again. Has she ever considered whether you live or die?"
"If you hadn't quit, it wouldn't be her business."
