Chapter 301: Xiu Niang Zhuang Xiang, please tell me the truth!

She came to Jiang Zhizhi's house and said, "Zhizhi, I'm going back to see Aunt Xiang today. Aunt Xiang has been very good to me over the years. Now that I have made a difference, I want to go back and tell her so that she can be happy too."

"This is a good thing. It's rare for Xueli to be so kind." Jiang Zhizhi's heart beat faster. She reminded Xueli to be careful. She opened the medicine box and took out a bottle of anti-wolf spray.

"Put this in your bag and carry it with you. If someone bullies you, don't worry about it. Just spray them to death."

Xue Li's heart trembled and she nodded heavily to show that she had heard what was said.

However, before going out, Xue Li put a thick wooden stick in her small bag for self-defense.

Gu Qingpei and Gu Qingchuan were both busy, and the two brothers were worried about Xueli riding her bike back home, fearing that their sister would fall off the bike.

Xueli felt a little soft-hearted and said that she would walk back as a form of exercise.

Xue Li took a shopping cart to the city early in the morning, queued up and bought five pounds of pork belly and a large pig's trotter.

In her backpack were the cloths she bought from the textile factory. The cloths had good colors and were flawless, making them perfect for Aunt Xiang to make beautiful clothes.

Mingjia Village.

"Xiangxiang, your child is now working as a technician in a textile factory. He seems to be doing well. Isn't it time to find a date for him?"

Zhuang Xiang sighed and said worriedly, "I mentioned this to Xinyi, but Xinyi said that there are many things to do at the textile factory during this period, and he must be under pressure."

"Xinyi climbed up the ranks from an apprentice to a skilled worker. He never told me anything that happened to him. He only shared good news with me, not his worries. As his mother, I couldn't help him at all, so how could I bother him with these things?"

As long as it involves technology, those old masters keep it secret, for fear that their apprentices will starve themselves to death.

An apprentice just learns from his master. As for how much you can learn, it depends on how much you put in.

The most tiring time for Zhuang Xinyi at the textile factory was when he was helping his master run around, and even took over all the trivial matters and housework at home. He worked so hard and was often looked down upon for nothing.

Zhuang Xiang is 40 years old this year, and her son Zhuang Xinyi is 22 years old. When Zhuang Xinyi was one and a half years old, Zhuang Xinyi's father was hit by a stray bullet in a war-torn area and died in a foreign land.

Zhuang Xiang raised her son alone. Others advised her not to remarry, saying that she was still so young at the time and it was not impossible for her to find a good family with her son.

How does a widow survive in troubled times?

Life is hard and dangerous, and with a child who is only a little over one year old, how hard must life be?

There are always troubles around a widow, but Zhuang Xiang endured it all alone.

Zhuang Xiang's family used to be a wealthy one, so one can imagine that their background was not that good. There were many people who liked her for her appearance, but except for a few lazy men who loved to eat and do nothing, no other good families dared to, nor were willing to, marry her.

After choosing the dishes, my aunt went back to her home.

Zhuang Xiang couldn't help but think of the time when someone in the village mentioned that they saw a man who looked very much like Xinyi's father outside two years ago. They wanted to chase him to see what was going on, but failed.

Could it be that the dead are really resurrected?

Or do they just look alike?

Zhuang Xiang and Xinyi's father Ma Chenggong met because of an accident. Those were very chaotic years. Zhuang Xiang was hiding from her father and sister. Later, Ma Chenggong protected her many times and they fell in love. Ma Chenggong did not mind Zhuang Xiang's background and promised to take care of Zhuang Xiang's father and sister. Only then did she agree to marry Ma Chenggong.

It’s just that Ma Chenggong’s biological mother and sister-in-law don’t get along well. They dislike Zhuang Xiang’s background and even more so her background.

Ma Chenggong never looks at Zhuang Xiang in a good light, and it's easy for him to understand that he is caught between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

From Ma Chenggong's perspective, he felt that he was ashamed of his mother. His mother worked in the fields all year round to raise him and his younger siblings, take care of the housework, take care of the family and raise the children, and earn work points in the fields. There was never-ending work to do, and the work was so hard. There was not enough food at home, and it was the food that his mother saved from her own mouth that she gave all to them.

How could Ma Chenggong have the heart to ignore his own mother? Later, the war was very fierce and the flames of fighting were raging. When Zhuang Xiang heard the news about Ma Chenggong, he had never returned.

They all said Ma Chenggong was dead.

There is a thorn in Zhuang Xiang's heart, which is getting deeper and deeper. If it is pulled out, it will be bloody. Every late night, she has wondered whether the man is Ma Chenggong?

If it was Ma Chenggong, why hasn't he come back after 21 years?

Are she and her son, their only son Zhuang Xinyi, not important?

As for why Xinyi took her surname, it was because when the news of Ma Chenggong's death came back, her mother-in-law and her elder and younger sisters-in-law beat her with brooms, drove her out of the house, and cursed her for being a bad luck who had brought death to Ma Chenggong.

Her mother-in-law did not let her take her son away. It was only after her sister Zhuang Si came and made a big fuss that Xinyi stayed with her.

Changed his surname to Zhuang.

All Zhuang Xiang wanted in her heart was to watch her son grow up, and she didn't think about anything else.

Zhuang Xiang still feels sad when he thinks about the past.

As Xue Li walked to the path outside Xiu Niang Zhuang Xiang's house, she ran into a man in his forties with strong and vigorous steps.

Although he is not as tall and strong as he was when he was young, he still maintains a sense of strength due to the passage of time.

Especially those eyes, the determination they reveal is so chilling.

Xueli greeted him softly, "Uncle Dashun, long time no see."

A smile appeared on Wen Dashun's dark face. "Xue Li is back. Did she go to see your Aunt Xiang?"

Xue Li nodded, feeling nervous.

When she was little, she felt that Wen Dashun was particularly concerned about Zhuang Xiang.

Wen Dashun had already married a wife before he met Zhuang Xiang.

But before the two of them had been together for long, Wen Dashun's wife's health became worse and worse. In addition, the situation was so chaotic at the time that she couldn't buy any medicine.

Wen Dashun's wife passed away like this, and the couple didn't even have any children.

Wen Dashun had all the qualifications, a good background, and was a good worker, so many people didn't mind that he had someone in front of him.

Unfortunately, Wen Dashun didn't have such intention and kept delaying getting married. He sent away all the people who wanted to act as matchmakers.

Later, Wen Dashun met Zhuang Xiang and was moved again and again by her bravery and resilience.

I began to pay attention to her unconsciously, even though she was already a widow at that time.

It’s not that Wen Dashun didn’t confess his love to Zhuang Xiang. He didn’t care about Zhuang Xiang’s background at all, and he cared about the feelings of Zhuang Xiang and Zhuang Xinyi. He was willing and wanted to marry Zhuang Xiang home.

But Zhuang Xiang just thought that it would be great if she had a son, so she stayed with her son and waited for him to grow up.

Zhuang Xiang doesn't want Zhuang Xinyi to feel that his mother would abandon him alone and remarry someone else, and that his mother would no longer want him.

Fortunately, Zhuang Xinyi also fought for his reputation and now works in a textile factory as a technician, earning 25 yuan a month.

Zhuang Xiang revealed some of these things to Xueli after she grew up.

Xueli said goodbye to Wen Dashun and called out crisply, "Auntie Xiang."

There was a noise at the door. Zhuang Xiang was surprised. He suddenly came to his senses and said in surprise: "Xue Li, Xue Li is here?!"

Zhuang Xiang welcomed her in. Over the years, she also treated Xue Li like a daughter-in-law, otherwise she would not have taught Xue Li her own unique embroidery skills without keeping them to herself.

She was happy that Sydney finally got rid of the vampires in the Ming family, and she was also happy that Sydney finally had a brother who truly loved her.

But she didn't expect that Xue Li would come to see her.

Xueli felt a sour feeling in her heart. She smiled and took out all the good things from the basket. Her voice was choked with sobs: "Aunt Xiang, I'm doing fine now. I met a very good little sister. My second and third brothers are very caring and treat me very well."

"Now I work as a hairdresser in my family's courtyard. The money I earn is enough to support myself, so you don't have to worry about me having a bad life."

Zhuang Xiang's eyes instantly turned red, and she said, "That's good, that's good. We have someone who loves Xueli."

"When they are free, bring them back to my place for a meal. Then I will call Xinyi back and we will have dinner together."

The two hadn't seen each other for half a year. When they sat together, they had a lot to talk about.

Zhuang Xiang is concerned about whether Xueli is doing well in the family home.

Xueli was also worried that Zhuang Xiang was not having a good time in the village, and whether people outside were still saying bad things about Zhuang Xiang behind his back.

Those people spoke without any restraint. Zhuang Xiang said nonchalantly that she was tired of hearing them after so many years. It was always the same few things over and over again, and there was no way to say anything new.

When she was little, Xueli thought that Aunt Xiang was very strong. If bad guys came, Aunt Xiang would hold a stick at the door and beat them back.

When Xueli grew up, she realized that Aunt Xiang had to be strong and had to make herself strong.

As the two talked, Xueli noticed that Aunt Xiang was absent-minded from time to time, with confusion, loss, suspicion and helplessness in her eyes.

Xueli was still distressed and worried. After hesitating for a while, she asked, "Aunt Xiang, did something happen?"

"Maybe I can help? Aunt Xiang, one more person means more strength. Aunt Xiang has been kind to me, and I have always regarded her as a relative. When I was at the Ming family, I fainted from hunger several times. If Aunt Xiang hadn't brought me Wo Wo Tou to eat, maybe now, there would be no Xue Li."

Zhuang Xiang suppressed this thought, and kept thinking that as long as she didn't pull out the thorn in her heart, she didn't want anyone to disrupt her current life or hurt her son.

Just treat that person as dead.

But this thorn is embedded deeper and deeper in my heart. I want to get rid of it, but I find it is futile. I can't live a peaceful life unless I pull it out.

As a strong mother, she would not allow anyone to hurt her son!

Zhuang Xiang looked at Xueli's face, which had grown fatter. Her eyes were bright, and her every frown and smile was much more cheerful than before.

Was it Sydney’s good sister who warmed her up?

Now, is this warmth coming back to me?

Zhuang Xiang was like a person who had been wandering alone in the darkness for a long time, and suddenly saw a ray of light, and couldn't help running towards the light.

Say it!

Say it out!

Go find the truth!

Give your past self the truth!

Whether it is Ma Chenggong or someone who looks like Ma Chenggong, at least she wants to know the truth!

Is the truth a hoax or just an oolong misunderstanding?

"Two years ago, someone said that they saw a man who looked like Xinyi's father in the county town outside."
