Sitting on the tram and traveling through the bustling streets, the sentimental Li Shutong's eyes turned red and she secretly wiped her tears with a small handkerchief. Yun Shaofan comforted her softly.
Li Shutong and Xiao Xiangyi are both native Haicheng people. Their families are not poor and they have lived a wealthy life since childhood. They used to be real ladies from wealthy families. Later, they both got admitted to Fudan University and met Yun Shaofan and Meng Fan at school. Later, the two couples got married and stayed in Haicheng to work.
"Aunt Xiao, do you want to go back and see your family?" Yun Huaying had never asked her this before.
Xiao Xiangyi was still sighing, but when she asked this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "My parents are all dead, and I am the only one left at home."
She had never spoken about her family before, but now she volunteered, "My father's ancestral home is in Fujian Province. He fled to Haicheng because of the war. My grandparents were ordinary people who made a living by pulling rickshaws and weaving cloth. Fortunately, they only had my father as their child, so our family's living conditions were not bad."
"My parents' marriage wasn't their first. Before marrying my mom, my dad had another marriage that my grandparents helped him arrange, and they had a daughter."
"My half-sister was four years old when they divorced. The reason for the divorce was personality incompatibility. My father's ex-wife wasn't a down-to-earth person. She spent all day in dance halls, getting drunk and spending money like water. She always looked down on my father for not being able to make money. Later, she hooked up with a rich man outside, and they divorced because they couldn't make ends meet anymore."
"My parents got back together two years after their divorce. My maternal grandparents weren't from downtown Haicheng, but from a rural suburb. They had too many children and couldn't support them, so my mom married my dad, who was married for the second time."
"My mother gave birth to me a year after she got married. Two years later, she got pregnant with her second child. My grandparents asked someone to take my mother's pulse and learned it was a boy. They were very happy. The only one who was unhappy was my half-sister."
"My sister was deeply influenced by her mother. Her mother didn't have a good life in those years. She had affairs with many men and women outside. Rich men didn't want to marry her, they just wanted to play with her. When she was having a hard time, she came back and made a fuss, forcing my parents to divorce, and she kept instilling all kinds of vicious ideas into her daughter."
"Because of this, my mother's second pregnancy with a boy was not successfully delivered. My sister deliberately pushed her and she miscarried. She also suffered heavy bleeding and was injured. She was sick all the time until she passed away."
"My sister was born evil, and with her mother's encouragement and teaching, she did all kinds of bad things. She was responsible for the deaths of my grandparents and father, and she even angered my grandmother to death."
"My relationship with her wasn't good either. We'd been enemies since childhood. My father had long seen through her true nature and hated her deeply. Before he died, he left a will, leaving all his property and savings to me."
"It was because of this incident that our relationship completely broke down. She was not in the right in the lawsuit, and the neighbors and neighborhood leaders helped her in the quarrel. She was no match for me, so she ended up beating me up."
"Brother Fan's family was having trouble. His two good-for-nothing brothers came to Haicheng to cause trouble for him, and they beat him up by the river, severely injuring him. Shao Fan and I rushed over to save them, but my sister seized the opportunity and, in the middle of winter, pushed me into the freezing cold river. I got frostbite from that incident, and I couldn't get pregnant again."
Yun Huaying and the others frowned as they listened to her recounting of past stories. They quickly asked, "What happened to your sister?"
"I was arrested and imprisoned for five years, and after I came out, I hadn't changed at all."
"Later, her mother took her to do that disgusting thing. The mother and daughter were filthy people who were cursed and beaten by everyone in my area. A few years later, she found a man to marry and lived not far from our home. We saw each other often, so there was no trouble again."
"Eight years ago, due to policy issues, all the leaders and colleagues in our unit were labeled rightists, and we were no exception. Before I was assigned to the farm, I learned that my sister was behind it. I don't know where she got the ability, but she stabbed me in the back."
These things have always been the deepest pain in her heart. She rarely mentioned them to outsiders before, and not being able to have children is also her biggest regret in this life.
At that time, she was severely frostbitten and Meng Fan was also seriously injured. The two of them stayed in the hospital for nearly a month. Fortunately, Yun Shaofan asked his father to come and treat them and gave them a lot of good medicine, otherwise neither of them would have survived until today.
Meng Fan was seriously injured that time. Heartbroken and angry, he sent his two brothers to jail. From then on, he became completely hostile to his family and severed all ties with them. From then on, the two of them relied on each other and supported each other until today.
They have been on the farm for these years and have completely cut off contact with Haicheng. She doesn't know what the demon is doing now, so she wants to find out when she comes back this time.
As they were talking, the bus had already arrived at the park entrance near Li's home. Li Shutong stood up first and said, "Let's get off here."
Everyone stood up immediately, picked up their luggage, waited for the tram to stop, and got off one by one.
Li Shutong was more excited than anyone else. Now that she had recovered, she walked briskly with her luggage, wishing she could grow a pair of wings and fly back.
The others followed closely behind, carrying large and small bags, and ran all the way.
Li Shutong was the first to rush into the alley, tears streaming down her face as she ran towards the familiar gate. When she reached the gate, she cried out, "Dad, Mom."
The two elders of the Li family were talking to a neighbor by the courtyard. When the familiar voice rushed into their eardrums, their bodies instinctively trembled. They turned around suddenly and saw their beloved daughter standing at the door. They were startled in unison: "Shutong!"
"Dad, Mom!"
Li Shutong burst into tears, threw everything in her hands to the ground, and rushed towards them excitedly.
Being hugged by her and feeling her warmth, Mother Li finally realized that her daughter had really returned. Tears welled up in her eyes, "Shutong, is it really you? You're back?"
"Mom, I'm back, we're back." Li Shutong cried so hard that her whole body was shaking.
"Dad, Mom."
"Grandpa, grandma."
Yun Shaofan and the others followed in and were very excited to see the two elders.
"Shao Fan, Jing Mo, Zhao Yan, Nan Xing." Father Li was so excited when he saw them that his whole body was shaking. His old eyes were red. He pulled his son-in-law and asked tremblingly, "Why, why did you come back?"
"I came back to wish you a happy new year."
Yun Shaofan smiled and gave his father-in-law a hug. "We are fine now. Shutong missed you guys so much and came back to see you."
"It's good that everything is fine, it's good that everything is fine." Father Li's eyes were red with excitement.
