Huo Jinyan's heart skipped a beat. He didn't understand why his grandma said that.
"Grandma, stop talking nonsense. If you don't want to go with me, I won't force you anymore."
The old lady shook her head, her expression dull and wooden.
She recalled the past, a past that was too painful to recall.
"Jinyan, it's time for you to know the truth about this matter."
After hearing the truth, Huo Jinyan and Jiang Mengning didn't even dare to breathe.
They looked at the old lady with bated breath, very curious about what the truth was that she was talking about.
The old lady continued, "Jinyan, actually, you are not our child. Neither you nor your sister are."
It was like a thunderclap exploding in Huo Jinyan's mind. He stood there in a daze, unable to move for a long time.
Jiang Mengning held his hand and asked the old lady, "Grandma, what's going on? Whose child is Jinyan?"
At this moment, grandma was so choked up that she couldn't speak.
After a long pause, he said, "He is... He was born to a very beautiful woman. We don't even know her name. When she came to our house, we named her Xiaohong."
That year, Huo's father brought back a very beautiful girl from outside.
The girl was fair and well-behaved, and it was obvious that she was not from an ordinary family.
No matter what I asked her, she said she didn't know.
Mr. Huo explained to others that the girl's parents abused her and she couldn't stand it and ran away. Later, they met and the girl voluntarily went home with him.
The girl looked confused and clueless at the time, and it was unclear whether she was willing or not.
Since Mr. Huo brought her home, it was natural that the beautiful girl became his wife.
The girl was named Xiaohong. She was very beautiful, but Huo's father didn't dare let her go out. He kept her locked up at home all year round. Even his own family members were unwilling to have much contact with the girl.
Not long after, news spread that the girl was pregnant.
It was not until seven or eight months that the girl gave birth to premature twins, a boy and a girl.
The twins were very beautiful, but Mr. Huo didn't look happy at all.
Soon after the girl gave birth, he couldn't wait to have sex with her, hoping that she would give birth to another child for him.
Since then, the sound of a girl crying could often be heard from a closed room in the Huo family.
But this kind of life did not last long. When the twins were just one month old, Xiaohong found an opportunity and ran away.
From then on, there was no news.
Huo's father said that Xiaohong was heartless and abandoned her husband and children, which brought a bad reputation to Xiaohong.
The villagers also believed what he said. Xiaohong was pretty, and that toad Huo's father was not worthy of her.
It would be strange if you didn't run.
This matter spread in the village and has been spread for decades.
After finishing her recollection, the old lady grabbed Huo Jinyan's arm and said in a hoarse voice: "But, but those are for outsiders to see. I know the truth!"
She was heartbroken: "When Xiaohong came to our house, my beastly son wouldn't let me see her. I was worried, so I went to see her secretly. As a result, I saw that Xiaohong's belly was slightly bulging when she first came to our house. It looked like she was two or three months pregnant."
"Xiao Hong doesn't seem to be stupid, but rather she seems to have lost her memory. And she lost her memory because she was abducted and brought back by my beastly son."
"My beastly son tortured Xiaohong when she was pregnant. I often heard her crying. One time, I couldn't help but wanted to comfort her, but he beat me up. Since then, I have never dared to go again."
"Xiaohong was humiliated for over a year, and finally, she escaped."
Speaking of Xiaohong's escape, grandma breathed a sigh of relief.
But Huo Jinyan looked like he had been severely injured, his face was pale.
Jiang Mengning hugged him with a heavy heart.
"Jinyan, it's okay, don't be afraid."
Huo Jinyan was shaking all over. After a long while, he asked in a trembling voice, "Grandma, are you telling the truth?"
"Really? You are Xiaohong's child, not our Huo family's child. Our Huo family can't give birth to a child as outstanding as you!"
She pulled out a yellowed piece of paper from a crack at the head of the bed.
He handed it to Huo Jinyan tremblingly.
"Grandma may not have any other talents, but she's a great painter. This is the picture of Xiaohong I secretly drew back then. It's not 100% accurate, but it's about 70% accurate. Take a look! This is your biological mother."
"Jinyan, don't hate her. She couldn't take you away at that time. She really couldn't."
Huo Jinyan tremblingly opened the yellowed paper. On the rough paper, there was a picture of a very spiritual girl.
But the girl had a sad and depressed look.
Her eyebrows are deep and three-dimensional, her nose is high and her lips are small. She is a rare beauty.
Looking closely, Huo Jinyan is somewhat similar to her.
Huo Jinyan was shaking all over as he held the paper that would break at the slightest touch.
He folded the drawing paper stiffly and put it in his shirt pocket.
Then he stood up and walked towards the front yard.
Jiang Mengning knew what he was going to do and quickly followed him.
At this time, Huo's father was about to ask Huo Jinyan for money. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he ran into Huo Jinyan who rushed in.
"You've come just in time. I have something to tell you...bang...ah!"
Huo Jinyan kicked over and kicked Huo's father directly into the room.
He slipped in and locked the door.
Mr. Huo, who was lying on the ground, covered his chest and looked at Huo Jinyan angrily.
"Rebellious son, what are you going to do!"
