Aunt Zhang was stunned. "Miss!" she said, her voice suddenly rising. "Miss, what are you doing?"
"I've decided to leave." Mu Qiu looked at Aunt Zhang with a faint smile. She said, "I've sold everything that needed to be sold. This house is the only thing left. Aunt Zhang, I treat you as a family member. Thank you for taking care of our family over the years. I don't have anything else to give you before you leave, so I'll give you this house."
"Don't refuse. I know your daughter is married, and it's inconvenient for you to live with your son-in-law and grandson. You can live in this house. After you die, the house will be sold, and the proceeds will be donated to a charity foundation."
Aunt Zhang was shocked. She asked Mu Qiu in a trembling voice, "Miss, where are you going?"
Mu Qiu was about to cry.
She said, "Aunt Zhang, I can't stay in this city anymore. I'm leaving. If I don't leave now, I'm going crazy. Every time I close my eyes, I can see my mother lying in the stairwell covered in blood, and my father struggling on the ground as he died."
Aunt Zhang was confused. "Miss, are you scared by your husband's death and your wife's miscarriage?"
Mu Qiu shook his head, "No, no, I'm guilty! I'm guilty!"
Aunt Zhang felt uneasy and subconsciously lowered her voice and asked Mu Qiu: "Miss, what nonsense are you talking about? What crime have you committed?"
Mu Qiu's butt slid down from the sofa, she knelt on the ground, and placed her hands on Aunt Zhang's legs.
Mu Qiu looked at Aunt Zhang with tears in her eyes. She couldn't hold it back any longer, almost going crazy. She decided to tell her the most disgusting thing in her heart. "Aunt Zhang, I harmed my mother and her unborn child. That day, I secretly applied face cream on the stairs, and my mother stepped on it, causing her to slip and fall..."
"I am guilty..."
Hearing this, Aunt Zhang was completely stunned.
She almost suspected that she was hallucinating.
How could such a pure and innocent lady do such a thing? "Miss, you are joking, right? That's your mother, how could you do such a thing?" Aunt Zhang couldn't believe it was true.
Mu Qiu was still crying, sobbing and confessing: "It's true, it's all true. I killed that child. It's my fault. It's all my fault."
"These days, I've been plagued by nightmares every night. I always dream of my mother asking me why I killed that child. When I wake up, I often hear my father's voice scolding me as a non-human."
"Aunt Zhang, am I crazy?"
Aunt Zhang listened in a daze, unable to digest the news for a while.
In her eyes, Miss Mu Qiu has always been a gentle, lovely, kind and innocent girl. Aunt Zhang still remembers what the young lady looked like when she first saw her after coming to the Mu family.
It was a summer day, with a thunderstorm, and a group of ants were biting at a piece of bread. Mu Qiu was worried that the ants would be stepped on and killed, so she bent down and slowly moved the piece of bread and the group of ants to the corner of the wall.
At that time, Aunt Zhang believed that Mu Qiu was a kind-hearted girl. After all, Mu Qiu, who was only six years old at the time, knew that killing was forbidden. Compared with Mu Qiu, her adopted daughter, Miss Song Ci, was a cruel and ruthless person.
It was also summer, and a group of ants were hiding in the corner of the Mu family's house, struggling to move a few grains of rice. When Song Ci came home and saw them, without saying a word, he ran into the kitchen and boiled a pot of water. Then he brought the water to the corner and poured it on the ants with an expressionless face.
Because of that incident, Aunt Zhang always looked down on Song Ci, thinking that the girl was cruel and heartless and had no sympathy. So in life, she always favored Mu Qiu.
Who would have thought that the seemingly ruthless Song Ci was actually a clean and upright person. And Mu Qiu, who would protect the ants while they moved, was actually a cruel girl who could cruelly kill the child in her mother's womb.
Why are people so contradictory?
Aunt Zhang looked down at Mu Qiu, who was in tears, and she couldn't help but feel sad.
Holding Mu Qiu's head, Aunt Zhang cried and asked her, "Miss, why are you so confused? Even if you don't like that child, you shouldn't be so obsessed as to do such a stupid thing!"
It wasn't that she was possessed by a ghost, it was just her cruel nature. Although she didn't want to admit it, Mu Qiu also saw the fact that she was indeed Mu Mian's biological daughter, and her body was as selfish and cruel as Mu Mian's.
