Chapter 217 Everything is Ruan Mingying's wish
The old lady who was selecting vegetables in the kitchen heard the noise in the yard and hurried out to check.
"Auntie!" Ruan's mother walked up and called for help.
The old lady was stunned, then walked over excitedly and grabbed Ruan's mother's hand, "Mulan, you are finally back!"
The group of people were warmly welcomed into the house by the old lady and sat down to chat.
The old lady looked at Ming Zhuo, filled with emotion, "Is this the little one you gave away? A good child, he has grown so big."
She wiped her tears, "It's all my fault for not being able to help you, so my flesh and blood were separated for more than ten years..."
Ruan's mother shook her head: "You were also living a difficult life at that time, and you had too much to eat. How can you blame me?"
Ming Zhuo sat aside and listened to the two chatting, and gradually understood.
The old man in front of her was not Ruan's mother's biological aunt, because Ruan's mother had been adopted since she was a child.
More than fifty years ago, sending children for foster care in rural areas happened from time to time, and it was nothing new.
But Ruan's mother's situation is a bit special. She was abandoned on the roadside and was taken home by her adoptive parents.
The couple had physical defects and no children of their own, so they adopted Ruan's mother and raised her as their own daughter.
However, before Ruan's mother grew up, the couple passed away one after another, and Ruan's mother was taken to live with her aunt for a while. Although
there was no blood relationship, Ruan's mother was very grateful to the old man in her heart. It was rare for her to be able to give her a bite of food to eat and let her have a roof over her head.
After all, her aunt's own family also had several mouths waiting to be fed, and life was difficult.
Although she didn't come back in these years, she regularly sent money to the old lady. It wasn't much, only a few thousand every month, but the old lady saved it and slowly built a house.
In the evening, the old lady's son, daughter-in-law, grandson and granddaughter-in-law all came back, as well as a child of seven or eight years old.
People in the countryside get married early, and this family has four generations living under one roof.
The old lady was very happy and cooked a lot of dishes in the evening, while Ruan's mother helped to light the fire in the kitchen.
Brother Zhang was terrified and wanted to take over
the work from Ruan's mother several times. How could he sit aside and drink tea while the old lady did the work when he was getting a high salary?
In the end, Ruan Mingying came over and called him out.
After dinner, Ruan Mingying saw that the old lady had too many family members to stay, so she booked a hotel in the county, and Ruan's mother stayed because she wanted to accompany the old lady.
——Ruan
Tiantian watched the car leave, and then walked out from the corner.
She didn't expect Ruan Mingying to be so lingering, and she brought her fiancé home to visit relatives, and the other party actually followed.
She also shamelessly messed up the welcoming ceremony that she had asked the village chief to prepare for her fiancé.
Ruan Tiantian was so anxious that she wanted to bite her nails, but she put it down when she saw the manicure on her hands.
No, she couldn't be so passive all the time, nor could she keep feeling guilty.
She had done nothing wrong, and the facts proved that her choice was right, right?
-
This time when Ruan's mother went back to her hometown, she wanted to take the old lady for a full-body check-up, so that she could feel at ease.
Although Mingzhuo could see at a glance that the old lady was in good health and had another ten years to live, he didn't say anything.
Ruan Mingying could drive herself, and she rented another car in the county. The family drove the old lady to the city for a physical examination early in the morning.
Even if they paid extra money to open a special channel, it would be evening when they returned home after all the examinations.
There were strangers in the room, and the old lady was a little happy. "Tiantian, you are here too. You always asked your sister Mingying before. You two sisters should go and have a chat."
Mingzhuo glanced at Ruan Tiantian. She was wearing heavy makeup and her flaming red lips were sexy and out of place in the cramped farmyard.
"Sister Mingying, I want to talk to you." Ruan Tiantian stood up on her own initiative.
Ruan Mingying nodded. She also had some questions in her heart that needed to be answered. "Then let's go."
It was hot outside. Ruan Tiantian invited Ruan Mingying to get in her million-level luxury car, and then drove out with one foot on the accelerator.
"Sister Mingying, shall I take you to the county for dinner?" Ruan Tiantian said with a smile.
Ruan Mingying said calmly: "I won't eat. Pull over and tell me what's going on."
Ruan Tiantian had already thought of the words: "As you can see, I'm getting married - I'm pregnant, so I'm dropping out of school."
"Why drop out of school?" Ruan Mingying didn't quite understand, "It's not a very wise choice for you to have a baby at this time..."
Ruan Tiantian interrupted her: "Sister Mingying, this is a little life, do you want me to abort it?"
Ruan Mingying was silent.
She looked at the dam outside the car window. Ruanjia Village used to be a poor mountain village. There were long mountains and forests on the other side of the village, and a big river on this side of the village. After the river, there were dams and fertile fields. The
only way to enter and exit the village was through this dam.
When she was a child, she and her mother went back to the village. There was no car, so they could only walk. There were unburied coffins everywhere on the dam, and she was scared every time.
But Ruan Tiantian was brave and would run to the dam from a long distance to greet her and enthusiastically ask her about the world in the city.
In fact, she had a very bad life, but the poor little girl in the mountain village was full of yearning for her.
She always remembered that the other party said with sparkling eyes that he liked to study, because studying could get out of the mountain village, out of the county, out of the province, and into a wider sky.
It was because of this that she agreed without hesitation when she received a text message from the other party seeking funding many years later.
This funding lasted for more than ten years, from junior high school to high school, from high school to college.
After graduating from university, Ruan Tiantian said that she had received an offer from a top foreign university and wanted to study abroad to broaden her horizons, but her family did not allow or understand. Not only did they not pay, they also scolded her for being wild and said that they should have let her get married so that she could get a dowry.
Ruan Tiantian cried and said that she just wanted to study, wanted to be a female scientist, and wanted to continue her studies. Is there anything wrong with that?
When Ruan Mingying saw the acceptance offer, she decisively transferred 200,000 yuan to her.
Ruan Mingying paused and said, "So you plan to continue your studies after giving birth? That's fine too..."
"Sister Mingying!" Ruan Tiantian called her, and then said, "I'm sorry, but I won't continue my studies."
Ruan Mingying was stunned and remained silent.
Ruan Tiantian twisted her fingers, "Sister Mingying, my husband treats me very well. He is rich and likes children. We plan to have at least three children, so after marriage, I will focus on my family..."
As she said this, the stone pressing on her heart was completely removed.
Yes, why should she feel guilty?
When a better choice is in front of her, who would foolishly choose the difficult path?
What's more, she didn't plan to take the difficult path from the beginning.
Everything was Ruan Mingying's wish.
"Sister Mingying, I know I failed to live up to your expectations of me. I'm sorry. Here is 300,000 yuan. Thank you for your support over the years."
She confidently took out the prepared money and handed it to Ruan Mingying with a smile.
"By the way, Xuanxuan should be graduating from college soon, right? Has she found a job? Do you want me to introduce her to my husband's company as a clerk?"
Ruan Mingying didn't look at the bag she handed over and shook her head, "No."
She opened the car door and got out.
