After confirming that the scarred woman was Tian An’s biological mother An Wan.
Tian An didn't let her sleep on the small bed, and asked her to lie on the big bed with him.
An Wan refused at first, saying that she was dirty and didn't want to sleep with Tian An.
But Tian An said that if she didn't want to sleep with him, then she could sleep on the small couch and she would sleep on the big bed: "How can a daughter enjoy happiness while her mother suffers?"
An Wan naturally didn't want Tian An to sleep on the small bed, so she had no choice but to obey her.
Blood relationship is really a magical thing. Even though Tian An is an outsider, she occupies this body. Not only does she not feel strange or afraid of An Wan,
Instead, he could feel the familiarity between this body and An Wan emanating from the inside out, as if she was "Tian An" herself.
Even though they had been separated for more than ten years, they still felt familiar when they met again. The past even flashed through Tian An's mind like a movie, and the vague memories before the age of eleven were completely awakened like the revival of all things in spring after winter, and even clearer than before.
However, Tian An was very puzzled as to why An Wan was still alive.
After the mother and daughter exchanged intimate words for a while, their eyes reddening, Tian An finally asked, "Didn't mother fall into the water that year? Li Dazhu and my second uncle's family even held a funeral for you in the village, but why are you here?"
When An Wan fell into the water, Li Dazhu's family and Old Lady Wang, who often forced her to work, still felt a little uneasy, so they held a funeral for her in the village and prepared a thin coffin for her burial.
Although she and Xiaokang were only allowed to kowtow at home due to their young age and did not attend the funeral together, many uncles and aunts from the village went. If the person in the coffin was not An Wan, they would not have failed to notice it. After all, the coffin had to be opened one last time before burial.
An Wan didn't rush to answer Tian An's question, but asked doubtfully: "Isn't Li Dazhu your second uncle? Why are you..."
Tian An knew what she wanted to ask, so he explained, "The Li Dazhu family wasn't your grandson. After you left, they abused Xiaokang and me, and even nearly killed me and threw me into the mountains to feed the wolves.
After I was rescued, I went to find the village chief and worked with the elders in the tribe to remove them from the family tree.
So Li Dazhu is Li Dazhu, and my second uncle is Tian Mingcai."
An Wan was so heartbroken just by listening to Tian An's casual words about what happened to her and her siblings in the Tian family after she left that the tears that had just stopped flowed again.
She wanted to ask Tian An more, but Tian An changed the subject and asked her to tell her about her experience first.
An Wan had no choice but to wipe away her tears and talk about the old days.
"An An, you did the right thing. Li Dazhu is indeed not worthy of you calling him Second Uncle.
Because, I didn't fall into the water by accident that year, but he instigated Qian to push me in while I was out washing clothes." An Wan's tone became excited when she said this, and her eyes revealed full of hatred.
"What?" Tian An was also shocked. If she hadn't found An Wan here, she would probably never know the truth about An Wan falling into the water until her death.
"What happened next? Mother, you..."
An Wan patted Tian An's hand to comfort him, looked at the bed curtain above her head, and gradually fell into memories.
"After your father passed away, Old Lady Wang wouldn't let me stay at home anymore. I guess those people discovered me when she was rushing me out to work!
I don't know when they had colluded with Li Dazhu's family, and they secretly fed me a fake death drug and then staged an accident where I fell into the water.
After the villagers buried me, they replaced me with a corpse they got from somewhere and buried it in the grave before the fake death drug wore off.
When they dug me out of the grave, I had already woken up in the coffin, but to punish me for my previous escape, they waited until I was almost suffocated to death before opening the coffin.
As soon as I caught my breath, I wanted to run, but they threatened me that if I dared to run, they would go to the village and kill you and Xiaokang.
Those people are beasts. I dare not gamble and can only follow them."
As An Wan continued to tell the story, and with his memory becoming clearer and clearer, Tian An indeed discovered the clues.
No wonder, given Mrs. Wang's stingy nature, she was willing to buy a coffin for An Wan instead of just burying her directly on a straw mat.
No wonder the funeral was held in such a hurry. The villagers thought that Li Dazhu's family was stingy and unwilling to spend money on the banquet and just wanted to get it over with as soon as possible.
It turned out that they knew An Wan was not dead, and they acted this way because of the threats and perhaps money from those people.
Tian An really regrets now, regretting why he didn't kill that family into pieces.
She hugged An Wan distressedly and said, "Mom, you have suffered a lot over the years. It's because your daughter came too late."
She was so angry, she hated herself for not realizing that the coffin contained someone else's corpse.
If she had taken a closer look when Tian Mingwu and others moved the grave, perhaps she would have discovered the clue and her mother would have suffered less.
An Wan leaned over and reached out to touch Tian An's face. "I don't blame you. If I have to blame anyone, I can only blame you for dragging you down. If you weren't my children, you wouldn't have left your parents at such a young age and suffered so much."
Tian An shook his head. "Mom is also a victim. How can I blame her? If I have to blame anyone, I can only blame those inhuman things."
Don't worry, mother, I will make them pay for their crimes with blood, and repay you for all the suffering you've endured over the years."
An Wan held Tian An's hand and said, "Mom is not suffering. It's enough for me to know that you and Xiaokang are safe and sound. Don't take risks for me. Those people are cruel and ruthless. It's too dangerous."
Tian An moved closer to her, pulled the quilt closer to her, and then spoke: "Mom, this is not a question of whether I am willing to give up or not. As long as they are still in this world, even if I don't go looking for them, they will not let us go. Instead of being passive, it is better to take the initiative. Only by completely eliminating them can we live in peace."
Not wanting to worry An Wan, she changed the subject again, "Mom, what's with the scar on your face? Why did you destroy your appearance?"
Hearing this, An Wan reached out and touched her face. After so many years, she no longer cared.
"Mom used to be pretty, but now she's in trouble. I don't want to let your dad down, so..."
Tian An hugged her more distressedly, "Mom, if my dad knew you were still here, he would definitely be very happy."
Speaking of Tian Mingwu, An Wan couldn't help showing a hint of embarrassment on her face, but the next second her expression turned ugly, "You, your father is back? He..."
