Sun Xiuzhi frowned as she listened: "What? Then... what about you..."
Xia Anyan sighed, lowered her head, and looked somewhat pitiful: "Sister-in-law, you don't know, my mother just passed away, and my father brought a woman back. He said he was taking care of me, but actually... that person is his mistress!"
“My maternal grandfather’s family had some money. My father lied to my mother back then, coaxing her into giving him everything in the house. He used that money to support women outside. You don’t know, I have a half-sister who is only a few months younger than me.”
"A few months! That's not a few years old, it's a few months! What does that mean? It means that when my mother was pregnant with me, he was cheating on her with other women, and after my mother passed away, he brought that woman back. Where does he put me and my mother?"
“After they got together, they had a son, and they completely ignored me. In fact, not long ago, my good father even thought about taking the whole family away.”
Xia Anyan's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice trembled slightly.
But in the end, she gritted her teeth and continued, "Unfortunately, they couldn't leave. Instead, they were discovered and detained. When they left, they didn't even think about taking me with them. They even wanted to send me to the countryside. Their family was going to take all their belongings with them."
"Heh, they didn't manage to leave. On the contrary, I, whom they despised, escaped because I severed ties with them. They have been sent down to the farm, and only my half-brother is left in the countryside." She chuckled, her eyes still filled with pain.
“Sister-in-law, do you know? When he bought the ticket, even our driver thought about taking him with him, but he never thought about taking me with him.”
“Outsiders all say I’m his biological daughter, and that he’s been so good to me. But in order to prevent his other daughter from going to the countryside, he wants me to give up my job to her.”
“That job was left to me by my own mother. He didn’t even ask me before making the decision for me, and he treated me like this, scheming against me like this. Tell me, am I really his daughter?”
When Xia Anyan got to this point, she couldn't help but shed tears. She could empathize with the original owner's experiences at home.
The original owner became like that entirely because they forced him into it.
But Xia Zhengyuan felt that Xia Anyan shouldn't be like that, and that she was inferior to his two children.
But Xia Zhengyuan never considered why the original owner of this body had become like that.
Not to mention Xia Anyan, even Sun Xiuzhi couldn't help but want to pat her head after hearing this.
And Sun Xiuzhi did just that, touching him while sighing, "Oh dear, sister, I never imagined you had such a miserable life before. Now I finally understand that not all rich people have a good life."
Xia Anyan was getting annoyed by her touching and wanted to wave her hand away, but Sun Xiuzhi simply pulled her into her arms.
Xia Anyan was stunned, never expecting Sun Xiuzhi to do such a thing.
"Don't worry, little sister, with me here in this military family compound, I definitely won't let anyone bully you." Sun Xiuzhi patted her chest and assured her, "I'm a few years older than you, and you call me sister-in-law, so I definitely have to take good care of you, my little sister."
“Before, everyone said that you were a capitalist’s daughter and that your life was different from ours, so you definitely couldn’t live with us.”
At this point, she felt a little embarrassed: "Hehe, girl, to be honest, I used to think the same way, but now that I've heard what you said, my heart... oh... it hurts, I feel sorry for you."
Her face was filled with care and tenderness.
Xia Anyan pursed her lips.
Although she did want this effect, now that it has been achieved, she still feels somewhat...
Looking at Xia Anyan's pale face, Sun Xiuzhi felt even more heartbroken: "Sister, don't be sad. Now that you've severed ties, he's no longer your father."
“I think Comrade Zhang is a very good person. He is your father now, and you have the old man as a relative. You are not alone at all.”
Xia Anyan had just introduced Zhang Junan to Sun Xiuzhi, and Sun Xiuzhi only just learned that Zhang's surname wasn't Xia.
Hearing this, Xia Anyan smiled, and her mood improved considerably.
With her grandfather and father around, she truly felt very happy.
Not only that, she was also doted on by her in-laws, and the men around her liked her too.
What more could she possibly want?
The two talked for a while before Sun Xiuzhi left.
After everyone left, Zhang Junan and Grandpa Xia came to find Xia Anyan.
I thought Xia Anyan would be sitting there sighing like before, but to my surprise, when I came over, I found her lying on the bed with a pale face.
Both of them panicked a little, and Zhang Jun'an rushed forward anxiously: "Ayan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Yanyan, are you feeling unwell? You must tell Grandpa." Grandpa Xia also looked worried and panicked.
My granddaughter must not get hurt!
Xia Anyan waved to them and pointed to her stomach: "Dad, Grandpa, I might really have to apologize to you. The child you've been hoping for doesn't exist. I... I'm on my period."
Although the two were indeed somewhat disappointed, they wanted Xia Anyan to be alright.
Seeing her pale face, they felt more heartbroken than anyone else.
"Your health has never been very good, I didn't expect it to be this serious this time. Just stay home and rest, don't worry about anything else."
“Leave the family matters to us. When Ah Shen comes back, we’ll talk to him about this.”
Originally, the old man didn't want to talk about these things with Gu Shen, after all, it was his own child with health problems, and talking too much might have a bad influence on his child.
But thinking that this matter might affect the young couple, he still couldn't help but worry.
Because of Xia Anyan's health condition, Zhang Junan did not go to dig the foundation anymore. Instead, he went to the kitchen to get brown sugar and eggs, intending to cook a brown sugar egg dish for Xia Anyan.
Some people in the south eat fermented glutinous rice with brown sugar and small balls, but there is no fermented glutinous rice for sale here, so he is considering whether to make some himself.
But now, I guess all I can eat are brown sugar eggs.
"Go over here and ask around, see how the women usually eat, and then come back and cook it," the old man instructed Zhang Jun'an to go out and inquire.
