As soon as Su Wanping entered the hospital, the two of them sneaked around the hospital, pretending to ask about Su Wanping's condition.

As soon as they heard that the person was dying, they immediately made an international call to Ma Hongxiu and informed her of the news: "Come back quickly. If you come too late, Ma Guoming's nephews and nieces will divide up the Ma family's property. What will happen to you as an adopted daughter then?"

"You're abroad, there are plenty of places to spend money."

Ma Hongxiu came back immediately, but Su Wanping died within three days. Ma Hongxiu pulled out the tube herself and gave up on treatment.

Ma Hongxiu did not hold a funeral for Su Wanping at all, nor did she notify any relatives or friends. Ma Guoming's nephews and nieces had a quarrel and could not win. Ma Hongxiu was the heir of Ma Guoming and Su Wanping.

What was even more inhumane of Ma Hongxiu was that Ma Guoming was originally buried. Cremation was not popular in the country at that time. All burials were done. Ma Guoming was put in a coffin and buried on the Ma family's land, but Ma Hongxiu found it troublesome and asked the hospital to cremate him directly. They put the body in a box, dug a hole directly on Ma Guoming's grave, buried the box in it, burned some paper, and then went abroad.

Of course, before leaving, she sold all of Ma Guoming and Su Wanping's belongings that could be sold, including the old furniture that her biological parents liked and some of Su Wanping's not-so-valuable old silver bracelets. She gave them all to her biological parents and never came back.

She didn't come back, but I heard her parents bragging to others: "My daughter is successful and living a good life in the United States. Look, these are all American products. My daughter sent them to me from the United States. You haven't seen them, have you?"

Someone was dismissive: "Why is she so shameless to show off? If it weren't for that idiot Ma Guoming who adopted her daughter as an adopted daughter, and the Ma family paying for her to be a college student, would Ma Hongxiu be able to go abroad?"

What did Ma Hongxiu's parents say?

"Who can we blame? It's because Ma Guoming and Su Wanping didn't have the luck to enjoy such a good life. We are lucky. You can't be jealous even if you want to. Why don't you send your daughter to a rich family to raise her?"

The more you talk about ethics with shameless people, the more they will think you are a fool.

Li Yutong only heard some things from her grandmother later, that her cousin Ma Hongxiu had returned home early. There was no need to think about it, because it was not because she missed her adoptive mother.

She didn't come back when Ma Guoming died.

"What did my aunt say?" It was not Li Yutong who said it. It was really her aunt who looked gentle, virtuous and kind-hearted. Otherwise, she would not have had the heart to send Ma Hongxiu back when she had secretly touched someone else's biological parents at the age of ten.

"I don't know." It was hot, and Chen Xiaoying fanned herself while frowning and thinking: "I'll go ask later."

In this life, I can't let Su Wanping continue to be bullied by Ma Hongxiu's family.

I raised you to this age and didn't want anything from you, but how could you do such a heartless thing? You took away all the property of the Ma family and even didn't bother to arrange the funeral of your adoptive mother Su Wanping.

Chen Xiaoying felt uneasy and went to find Su Wanping.

Li Yutong has already applied for the exam.

She had a clear goal, which was to stay in her hometown and engage in agriculture. As a province producing a large amount of grain, and as a person in the catering industry, she applied for the agronomy major at the provincial university.

Chen Xiaoying never has to worry about Li Yutong's studies.

When she was talking to Su Wanping at this moment, Su Wanping was also asking about Li Yutong's application for university.

Kaiyuan’s Second High School is near the People’s Hospital. Many students and parents who are eating here are also discussing the application process.

"I don't understand either. She said if she doesn't understand, she should ask her head teacher, who will definitely know more," said Chen Xiaoying.

Then, taking advantage of the fact that it was not meal time and not busy, he asked about what she was worried about: "Did Hongxiu call you? Did she say when she would be back?"

Su Wanping shook her head: "She only hit me once last time, and she hasn't hit me since. I don't know when she will come back."

"Well, what do you think?" Chen Xiaoying felt it was a bit difficult to speak. In her cousin's eyes, an adopted daughter was also a daughter, and probably someone who was closer to her than she was. If she brought up something about money, it would seem as if she had bad intentions.

Su Wanping was very confused: "What are you thinking about?"

Chen Xiaoying was very conflicted. If she told him, it seemed inappropriate. If she didn't tell him, what if she was cheated again?

"Girl, I'm busy." Suddenly a carefree voice sounded, enthusiastic and a little exaggerated.

Chen Xiaoying had her back to the store entrance, so she didn't know who it was. She first saw her cousin Su Wanping looking at the store entrance. Her expression was a little unhappy for a moment, but she also stood up: "You're here, have you eaten?"

"Oh, isn't Hongxiu's grandmother in the hospital? I've been taking care of her day and night these days and haven't even had time to eat. Please bring me a basket of buns." The visitor said.

Chen Xiaoying turned around and recognized who was in front of her.

Isn’t this Ma Hongxiu’s biological mother Zhu Dahong?

"Who is this?" Zhu Dahong looked at Chen Xiaoying and felt that she looked familiar.

Su Wanping said, "This is my cousin Chen Xiaoying."

In the village, as long as there are relatives in the surrounding villages, if you ask, they can tell you about their eight generations of ancestors. This is what matchmakers usually say when introducing potential partners: they are all from our side and we know them well.

What does it mean to know everything about his family? It means to know what his ancestors did, what his family does, how many people are in his family, whether anyone has committed a crime, whether anyone has any health problems, who his family is having conflicts with, etc.

That’s the good thing about the countryside: you can be sure to get to the bottom of everything.

Chen Xiaoying knew Zhu Dahong because Zhu Dahong's third daughter was given to her cousin Su Wanping as an adopted daughter when she was less than a month old. Zhu Dahong thought Chen Xiaoying looked familiar because she knew that her daughter's adoptive mother Su Wanping had a cousin who married into Lijia Village.

All the people in the surrounding villages were relatives. She met Chen Xiaoying once at a banquet in the first few years.

"Oh, sister-in-law, you are so awesome. I heard from Hongxiu's mother that you opened this store. That's amazing." Zhu Dahong was very enthusiastic and good at speaking.

Chen Xiaoying just smiled.

Zhu Dahong just opened her mouth and said that Hongxiu’s grandmother was in the hospital. Ma Hongxiu’s grandmother?

Ma Hongxiu's grandmother died more than ten years ago. When she died, Ma Hongxiu was studying abroad and never came back. Her grandmother who is in the hospital now is of course Wang Hongxiu's grandmother from the Wang family.

People nowadays are thin-skinned. If you say that Ma Hongxiu's grandmother is not her, it seems that you are so mean. The blood relationship is there. The old lady lying in the hospital is Hongxiu's biological grandmother. It doesn't mean that she is not her just because you say that you cannot recognize her.

Seeing Su Wanping in a bad mood taking buns for Zhu Dahong, Chen Xiaoying quietly asked the waiter next to her: "Do you want to pay?"

The waiter winked and whispered, "Every time he said he would pay, but he never took out the money. Auntie said forget it, and he just left. He has been eating for four or five days, and he hasn't paid a dime."
