When Yang Renli first learned that her man had died, she felt as if the sky had fallen.
The man she married was quite capable, but unfortunately he didn't live long.
When he died, her reputation was also dragged down, and she was accused of being a bad luck to her husband. Even though the fight against feudal superstition had already begun at that time, people still looked at her in a strange way.
After that, some scoundrels would climb over the wall at night to harass her, a widow.
She really couldn't stay there any longer, so as soon as the pension came, she ran away, leaving her two sons behind.
It was like this in the past. She would spend the money her husband sent back every month on herself first, buying cloth to make clothes, and buying vanishing cream, clam oil, etc. Over the years, she has not had a penny left.
She knew that she could no longer stay in China after receiving the pension. If she was caught by the man's brothers or her own family, her life would be difficult, so she went abroad.
They ate bread and drank coffee and lived a carefree life until the yellow croaker they had bought with their money ran out.
It took her two years to be able to communicate with the locals on a daily basis. She also realized that as an Asian, she was too quick to spend money and was being taken advantage of.
Once the yellow croakers are used up, all the false prosperity will be gone.
Fortunately, she was smart enough to communicate with Europeans while spending money. She made many friends and successfully married a white man, continuing to live a prosperous life.
But the white man was too old and died soon after, and she and her property were inherited by her stepson.
When her stepson got married, she was kicked out of the house.
Afterwards, she learned about the situation in the country, packed up her things, and returned home.
If Xiaowen and Xiaowu were not successful, she was afraid of being dragged down, so she waited and watched secretly before going to recognize them.
She found out that Xiaowen and Xiaowu were adopted by a group leader named Zhou Ze'an a few years after she left.
She didn't know who Zhou Ze'an was, but she knew which unit the man was in.
So he rushed to the island, and just asked Zhou Ze'an's name at the dock, and was seriously interrogated by uniformed soldiers.
She knew that if she couldn't explain the reason, she would easily be treated as a suspicious person.
An idea suddenly came to her mind, and she said, "I am the biological mother of Zhou Ze'an's adopted son."
"Which adopted son?"
"A pair of twins, Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu."
The other party relaxed their guard, "It turned out to be Captain Zhou Wu's biological mother."
Yang Renli's heart beat faster.
Her son is so promising? !
Now that I know my son has a promising future, I must recognize him as my own!
She is old, her legs, feet and eyes are not very good, she can't stand the hustle and bustle and hardship anymore, so she wants to find a child to rely on and spend her old age in peace.
She had a good idea.
Even though the reunion started off mediocre, she is Xiao Wu's biological mother after all. After much persuasion, sooner or later...
One day...
She rented a single room and the day after she met Zhou Wu, her place was crowded with strange children.
"Mother! Mother! I am your son!"
"Mom! I'm Feihu! You gave birth to me six years ago!"
"Mom! Why did you give me so many brothers? Does my dad know?"
"Mother, mother..."
Yang Renli's head hurt from being shouted at and her arms hurt from being pulled.
No! Where did these dirty, smelly little brats come from?!
"Let go! Let go! Who asked you to come here? You are claiming kinship without permission!"
"Mom, don't you want me anymore?"
"Mother, mother..."
Yang Renli's voice was drowned out by the noise of these little kids.
Many people around her pointed fingers at her.
"I said she was not decent in dressing like that."
"It has nothing to do with what she wears, it's the way she looks at people..."
After returning to China, Yang Renli thought she had seen the world and looked down on people. She looked down on her countrymen and treated others as blind. She thought she was hiding well...
In short, she had only moved in a few days ago, she was unfamiliar with the people around her, and they were not used to her style, so naturally no one came forward to help her.
Some comrades couldn't stand it and wanted to step forward, then they heard the youngest child shouting at the top of his lungs, trying to make his presence felt: "Mom! I'm your last child before you went menopausal, you can't disown me!"
Yang Renli spat out a mouthful of blood.
She may be old, but she is not menopausal! Slander! Pure slander!
…
A few hours later.
She finally took this group of little beggars to the police station. Before she could even open her mouth, she heard a child say, "If she can claim random relatives without any problems, why can't we? If she wants to sue us, then we'll sue her too! No one will have an easy time!"
"How could I claim to be a relative without authorization?" Yang Renli seemed to react after she finished refutation.
Just as I went to the island to find Xiao Wu, the next thing I knew was this group of little beggars. Even God knew what was going on.
Her former identity had long since been abolished.
After she ran away, her sisters-in-law and uncles blamed her for taking away all the money and leaving them with two small bags. They all canceled her household registration.
Therefore, the former identity of "Yang Renli" no longer exists. She is Chinese-American Ellie.
What basis does she have to say that Zhou Wu is her son? Does she have any evidence?
Ellie was a little crazy, "He was the one who asked you to come, right?
Is he so heartless that he doesn't even recognize his own mother?"
Those children were happy but didn't respond. Some children were unaware and were stunned for a moment by Ally's madness, then continued to watch the show.
These little beggars didn't get any retribution.
I suffered a disaster for nothing.
After this experience, Ellie calmed down completely, wanting to find a suitable time to meet Xiaowu.
She didn't believe that the bond of blood had ended.
Zhou Wu told Dawei about Ai Li with great joy. He was very excited and kept praising him: "Fourth brother, you are really capable! You are so cunning! She gave up before I even showed my face! You are really smart."
Dawei hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you sure you are exaggerating me?"
"Why not? Don't worry about the details! I'm just flattering you!"
"Oh."
"Hey, fourth brother, let me tell you, as a pure gentleman, don't be so gloomy all the time. How can your fourth brother's wife tolerate you?"
"You haven't even taken care of your own business, so leave me alone."
"I care about you...wait, I haven't finished my work yet?"
"I have prepared a ticket to Hai City."
"Ah? Is it necessary?"
"You can't do it." Dawei said firmly.
What can Zhou Wu say?
Zhou Wu: "I pay for the car fare?"
"Of course. You have to pay for accommodation and meals as well."
"…Are you already that poor?"
"I don't have to spend your money to help you solve the problem?"
"That's true."
…
After moving, Ellie lived peacefully for nearly a month. One day when she was out for dinner and passed by someone, she saw light.
"Hello, ma'am, can I have dinner with you alone?"
…
Qiao Yu at home once commented on Dawei that if there was no restraint and proper guidance, Dawei would be the one who would be the fastest to go down the road of crime.
Zhou Wu in the dark didn't believe it at first, but now he does.
He thought about it, how did his fourth brother treat the old woman's face with peach blossoms in his eyes?
Oh, maybe it’s because my fourth brother was born with a pair of attractive peach blossom eyes.
It was just that the glasses concealed a little the alluring look in his eyes.
