Chu Xuan and Tian Xiaoyun's emotions have stabilized.
Following Tian Xiaoyun's introduction, Chu Xuan politely greeted Old Lady Wu and the others, "Hello, Grandma! Hello, Uncle Wu! Hello, Grandpa Zhang!"
Chu Feng followed closely behind and called for help.
A few minutes later, they walked into Chu Xuan's house together.
The Mu family had already been busy in the kitchen. When they heard the noise, they walked into the yard and greeted them warmly.
After a few pleasantries, Mrs. Wu suggested taking a look at the newly renovated house and the surrounding yard.
Mu Chenze, Wu Bingcheng and Xiao Feng accompanied her.
Mu Qinlao, Mu Chenfu and the driver Uncle Zhang moved the luggage from the trunk into the house.
Chu Xuan and Tian Xiaoyun were about to enter the kitchen when they were stopped by Qin Mahua and Fu Qing.
I chased her and her mother to the main room to talk.
Everyone understood. After all, they hadn't seen each other for many years, and the mother and daughter had a lot to talk about.
The spacious and clean yard, the bright rooms, the tidy kitchen and toilet made Mrs. Wu look at Chu Xuan with even higher regard.
Old Mrs. Wu has a habit of making sure the toilet she uses is clean, and the cleanliness of Chu Xuan's toilet is exactly what she wants.
Just for this reason, I like Chu Xuan even more.
Considering the conversation space between Chu Xuan and Tian Xiaoyun, after the tour, he did not go to the main room, but went directly into the kitchen to see how Qin Mahua and Fu Qing processed the seafood.
Large abalone, sea cucumber, prawns, shrimps, swimming crabs, sea urchins, oysters, king clams...
Hairtail, Spanish mackerel, red sea bream, sardines, octopus, squid...
Overwhelmed.
Mu Chenfu and Mu Qinlao played chess with Wu Bingcheng and Uncle Zhang.
Mu Chenze and Chu Feng went into the kitchen to help.
At this moment, Tian Xiaoyun was holding Xiaoxuan's hand and chatting.
"Xiao Xuan, you and Xiao Feng have suffered so much over the years."
"Mom, since we separated, Xiaofeng and I have been living better and better. But you have been battling illness for years. How is your recovery after this surgery?"
"It's about 70% to 80% recovered. If we take good care of it over the winter, we'll be fully recovered next spring."
"Let's spend the winter here! We have a kang at home, so it will definitely be warm."
"good."
"Mom, it's great that you can live here! Oh, and if Uncle Wu and Grandma want to live here, they can come and stay with us. We have three kangs, so we can accommodate them."
"Your Uncle Wu definitely lives here. As for grandma, it depends on her."
"I'll invite you then."
"good."
Chu Xuan unconsciously placed her hands next to her mother's eyes, "Is your eyes okay now?"
"It's healed already. You can see it clearly. My daughter has become more beautiful, like a lotus flower that is beautiful in the clear water, like a chrysanthemum that stands proudly in the frost, and like a plum blossom that blooms in the wind."
Chu Xuan covered her face with her hands after hearing these words of praise. "Am I as good as you say?"
"Of course. Go call Xiaofeng in. I want to tell you two about my experiences over the years."
"Don't you need to accompany grandma?"
"No need to accompany me. She knows I want to explain to you two right away."
"Okay, I'll go call Xiaofeng."
Chu Feng was called into the main room by Chu Xuan.
There was no one else around at the moment, so Chu Feng shyly asked, "Mom, can we hug?"
"sure."
Tian Xiaoyun took the initiative to give him a big hug.
Chu Feng, who had tried to hold back his tears before, could no longer control them and they burst out.
Tian Xiaoyun took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his tears.
"Don't cry, Xiaofeng. I will never leave you again."
While she was trying to comfort her son, her eyes turned red again.
Chu Xuan quickly poured a cup of tea, "Xiao Feng, let Mom drink some water first. Look at how dry her lips are."
These words successfully diverted Chu Feng's attention.
Chu Feng felt sorry for his mother. He took the handkerchief from her hand and quickly wiped away her tears. Then he took the teacup from his sister and fed it to his mother with his own hands.
Tian Xiaoyun took a sip and looked satisfied, "This tea is so sweet!"
Chu Xuan looked at Xiao Feng, "Our mother wants to tell us about her experiences over the years."
Chu Feng nodded towards his mother.
Tian Xiaoyun spoke slowly.
"I had no choice but to leave you back then. I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Doctors back home told me that surgery only gave me a 30% chance of survival, and without surgery, I'd live for a year at most. By then, your father had already passed away. I consulted Feng Chunhua, and she suggested that I leave you two at the Chu family, and that I leave the house without burdening you two."
"I listened to Feng Chunhua and announced to the public that I was going to remarry. After that, I left Nanyu Village. In fact, I went to another coastal city and found a job working on an ocean-going ship, hoping to earn more money before I died and send it back to you and your sister. It was also through this job that I met your Uncle Wu."
"That day he was on a boat trip with his friends. One of them lost his balance and fell into the sea. He couldn't swim, so no one on the boat dared to rescue him. The boat I was working on was very close to him. At that time, I thought, since I won't live much longer anyway, I'm not afraid of death and I'll go down to save him! Without hesitation, I jumped into the sea with a rope to save him. I actually managed to get him onto the boat. The moment I saw him wake up, I couldn't hold on any longer and fainted."
"When I woke up again, I was in a hospital ward. He had already learned about my condition from the doctor, and unless I went abroad for more advanced treatment, I wouldn't live more than a year. He told me that to thank me for saving his life, he would get a marriage certificate with me and take me abroad for treatment. I said I had no money. He said he could help me pay, and after I recovered, he would teach me how to start a business to make money to pay for my medical expenses. Thinking of you and Xiaofeng, I decided to give it a try. If God blesses me, I will come back to you two after I recover and pay my debts."
"Getting the marriage certificate went smoothly, and traveling abroad went smoothly, too. I went to a hospital abroad and underwent a comprehensive examination. The doctor recommended immediate surgery, with subsequent treatments, costing at least 200,000 yuan. I had to pay the medical bills first, then I could get treatment. Your Uncle Wu lied and borrowed 200,000 yuan from a relative for my sake. He paid for my treatment. I had the surgery in time and received follow-up treatment. A year later, the doctor declared me fully recovered."
"My first thought was to call you and your sister, but considering I had a debt of 200,000 yuan, I decided to pay it off first. It's not that your Uncle Wu is asking me for the debt, but his relatives found out that he secretly married me and borrowed money for my medical treatment, and they're demanding repayment."
"It was your Uncle Wu who helped me raise 50,000 yuan and taught me business. We had originally agreed to divorce after paying off our debts. But before we knew it, we'd paid off all our debts, fallen in love, and developed a real relationship from our fake marriage. We even had a small savings. Unfortunately, fate played a trick on me, and I was diagnosed with another tumor, this time in my thyroid and brain. I can't speak, and my optic nerve is compressed."
"I finally managed to scrape together enough money for surgery and went to a foreign hospital for another operation. Fortunately, the pathology analysis showed it was benign. At that time, I received a letter from you and your sister, which your Uncle Wu read to me. With your support and understanding, my mood and condition are getting better day by day."
Chu Xuan and his sister were heartbroken because they were not by their mother's side when she was fighting the disease.
Chu Xuan held her mother's hand and asked softly, "Mom, your body has only recovered about 70% to 80%. Is there anything else wrong? I'll take you to see an experienced Chinese doctor this afternoon!"
