Xu Gaifeng cried bitterly when she heard the news about Anzi's mother. She blamed herself and said, "It's all my fault. She was afraid of getting Anzi and me into trouble, so she went to the other side. I'm sorry to the eldest young master and his wife..."
"This world is not good, there are too many bad people, alas!"
Gan's mother also cried. Although she had never met Anzi's mother, she still felt sad for this poor woman.
Xu Gaifeng wiped her tears and explained the reason why Anzi’s mother went to the other side.
"She is beautiful, and the bad guys on the farm are targeting her. When the young master was around, those guys were more restrained. After the young master left, those guys became unscrupulous. They came to the house in the middle of the night and even beat up the eldest master and his wife. Once, those beasts drank too much and came to the house openly to bully Anzi's mother. The eldest master fought with them and was beaten to death by them..."
Xu Gaifeng choked up for a while. The eldest master was such a kind and decent person, but he was bullied by these evil people. God was so blind!
"When those people saw someone was killed, they ran away in panic. The eldest young lady set a fire and ran out to make a scene, saying that those people had killed the eldest young master and set fire to her house. The eldest young lady's disturbance caused chaos on the farm. In front of the farm leaders, the eldest young lady slit her throat..."
Xu Gaifeng cried so hard that she couldn't speak anymore. In her memory, the Eldest Young Lady always spoke softly and gently. Even if a servant did something wrong, the Eldest Young Lady would not punish him too severely. At most, she would drive him out. Compared to the sarcastic and domineering Second Lady, all the servants in the mansion liked the Eldest Young Lady.
The eldest young lady was always beautiful and dignified, and had never been indecent. Someone who loved beauty so much, yet did such a crazy thing. One can imagine how desperate the eldest young lady was at that time.
Everyone was silent, listening quietly, with Gan's mother sobbing from time to time.
Xu Gaifeng wiped her tears and continued, "The eldest young lady slit her throat, and the farm was in chaos. Anzi's mother took the opportunity to escape. This was discussed between the eldest young lady and her. The eldest young lady knew that if she stayed on the farm, Anzi's mother would definitely get into trouble, and the baby in her belly would not be saved. The eldest young lady used her own life to exchange for the mother and daughter escaping."
"Anzi's mother hitchhiked on cars and begged for food all the way to Yangcheng. Her six-month-old belly was not as big as others' four-month-old belly. She was so thin that she looked like a ghost. She didn't dare to go out. The farm would find out sooner or later that she was not dead. She was afraid of getting me into trouble. After giving birth to Anzi, she didn't even take care of herself and went to the other side. I should have stopped her. Even if she had to eat coarse food in Yangcheng, at least she was still alive!"
Xu Gaifeng was in tears. The eldest young master's family died so tragically. Why didn't the good people have a good ending, but the bad people could live so well? God must be blind!
"Her death is a relief, and it is also a good thing for her to be reunited with her husband in the underworld."
Gan's mother patted Xu Gaifeng's back gently to comfort her.
"I think so too. In this world, it's too hard to live. Maybe dying is a good thing."
Xu Gaifeng nodded while crying. Every time she thought of the eldest young master and his wife, she comforted herself in this way, otherwise her heart would be too painful.
She asked hesitantly, "Should we tell Anzi about this? This child has never even seen his parents, and he calls them mom and dad even in his dreams."
“Tell me, if he can’t even bear this, he is no match for Wu Yuntao.”
Xia Tao said in a cold voice.
Xu Gaifeng was a little afraid of her. The couple Comrade Ruan found, the man looked too fierce and the woman too scary. She was worried that Anzi would be beaten.
But Mr. and Mrs. Gan are both very good people, so she is not so worried. With such good parents, the child they raise will surely not be too bad. As the old saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover. Maybe the person just looks fierce, but has a kind heart!
Ruan Qiqi also agreed to tell Anzi that since he had to bear a blood feud at such a young age, he really had no right to be fragile and must face everything with strength.
Anzi, Ruan Baobao, Shangguan Xuan Tudou and four other children are walking on the street. There are many snack shops on Lianhua Street, and they are all old brands. Many Hong Kong locals come to eat there.
Baobao Ruan brought enough money and prepared to eat all over Lianhua Street.
"The egg tarts here are delicious. Xuanxuan, Anzi, you two can have some!"
Baobao Ruan bought a few egg tarts, shared them with his friends first, and then ate them himself.
"tasty."
Shangguan Xuan took a bite and her eyes lit up. It was indeed delicious. It was different from what her father made, but both were delicious.
Like her mother Shangguan Qing, she loves sweets. Whenever Ding Yi is at home, he will make all kinds of cakes to feed his wife and daughter.
Shangguan Xuan finished one and wanted to eat more, but Ruan Baobao stopped her: "Save some space, there are still many delicious foods."
This is her experience. There are so many delicious foods on Lianhua Street that you can eat one of each and be full.
"Grandma, here I come again!"
Ruan Baobao came to a small shop. The owner was an old lady with a fierce face. The shop sold braised skewers. The braised food in the big pot gave off an enticing aroma.
Although A-po is old, she is not someone to be trifled with. Like Gan's mother, she is one of the Ten Tigers of Lotus Street, and ranks high.
Back then, she only relied on her mouth to curse from morning to night, and the thugs who came to cause trouble were scolded to the point of having myocardial infarction and had to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
It is said that the old lady's husband, who died young, was also scolded to death by her, because her husband not only did not make money, but also took the family's money to gamble. The extremely angry old lady suddenly opened her Ren and Du meridians, and turned from a hardworking and virtuous wife and mother into a "ferocious" shrew. She scolded her husband to death with just her mouth.
She even scolded her children who complained about her so much that they stopped communicating with her. Over the years, the old lady has lived alone. During this period, her children came to visit her and tried to repair the relationship, but they were still scolded by her and never came again.
The relationship between the stewed pork grandma and the neighbors is not very good. She scolds everyone she sees and her words always hurt people. However, she has a good relationship with Gan's mother, and she especially likes Ruan Baobao and Potato.
"The baby is here, let grandma hold him for a while."
Seeing Ruan Baobao, the old lady who made stewed meat smiled brightly on her dark face. She walked out of the shop and picked up the heavy little girl. But when she was only halfway in her arms, she froze and the smile on her face froze.
"I'll cut some stew for you, what do you want to eat?"
The old lady put Ruan Baobao down and busily took the stew out of the big pot. She kept chattering and was very annoyed.
After all, I’m old and can’t even hold the little girl. I’ll have to eat an extra bowl of rice tonight.
"Grandma, let me introduce you to my new friends. Her name is Xuanxuan and her name is Anzi."
Baobao Ruan introduced the new friend enthusiastically, and Anzi and Shangguan Xuan both politely called her grandma.
"Okay, they are all good kids."
The smile on the old lady's face deepened, and her fierce look became kind. She cut some of each stewed dish, put them in bowls, and let the four children eat.
"It's delicious. I can't have it at home. I miss it so much."
Baby Ruan took a bite of a big piece of pig head meat, his cheeks bulged, and he praised it while eating.
Shangguan Xuan ate a piece of cuttlefish, her eyes lit up again, and she ate faster.
Sure enough, there are delicious foods when the baby is around. After all, given the baby's body shape, you can tell at a glance that he eats a lot of delicious foods.
"Eat as much as you can, there's plenty in the pot."
The old lady smiled so happily that her eyebrows curved. The children ate so happily that she was happier than she was.
"Grandma, I brought you a gift."
Baobao Ruan ate half a bowl of stewed food to satisfy her craving, then took out something wrapped in cotton cloth from her bag and handed it to the old lady with both hands.
"What is that? It's so mysterious."
The old lady took the handkerchief with a smile. At first she didn't take it seriously, thinking it was a pastry that children liked to eat. But after opening the handkerchief, she was stunned.
It turned out to be a wild ginseng with a very strong medicinal smell. She could feel the medicinal power just by taking a whiff of it.
"Kid, did you take this from home? Take it back now!"
The old lady was startled and hurriedly wrapped the handkerchief and wanted to return it to Ruan Baobao. She thought the little girl had stolen it from the house.
