Chen Xiaoying frowned.
Zhu Dahong is so shameless. Not only does he take advantage of Su Wanping, he also takes advantage of Su Wanping's relatives.
Su Wanping was shy but had money, so she would not let her suffer the loss in vain. She must have paid for the meal with her own money afterwards.
"Shameless." She gritted her teeth.
"What?" Zhu Dahong was eating at the next table. When he heard the sound, he looked over curiously.
Su Wanping said hurriedly, "Let's talk about something else. Just eat your food."
Zhu Dahong was kind-hearted and plump. When she heard that they were not talking about her, she continued to eat with big mouthfuls. Her mouth was full of oil. Before leaving, she said, "I'll bring some for Hongxiu's father, so he doesn't have to run out on such a hot day. If he falls down, how can I take care of them alone?"
"Then take some." Su Wanping said good-temperedly.
"I'll bring two more eggs. Your tea eggs are really delicious." Zhu Dahong said with a smile, and scooped two eggs for himself and put them in the bag.
After watching Zhu Dahong leave, Chen Xiaoying looked at Su Wanping.
Su Wanping said hurriedly: "Sister, I paid the money myself."
Chen Xiaoying shook her head. "What are you talking about? Am I arguing with you about this little bit of meal money? What's wrong with Zhu Dahong? Just open your mouth and shut up. Hongxiu's grandma, Hongxiu's dad, her daughter was sent to your house when she was less than one month old. This child has nothing to do with her family anymore. How can she be so thick-skinned to say such things?"
"She is just that kind of person. There is nothing I can do about it." Su Wanping sighed. She felt heartbroken when she heard it. What could she do?
"Hongxiu is her daughter. The mother and daughter have known each other since they were ten years old. Can I stop them from recognizing their own mother?"
Chen Xiaoying got angry and couldn't help but say, "Why didn't you let her go back to her own home? She recognized her parents there as her biological parents, and she stayed in your home and ate your food. She was trying to get the best of both worlds. Isn't she so happy?"
Su Wanping's eyes were red, and she quickly took out the handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her eyes: "You don't know the conditions of the Wang family, three mud houses, dirty. I took her over to take a look, and she was so scared that she burst into tears, grabbing me and calling me mom, asking me not to chase her away."
"I raised her. She was dressed neatly. Her clothes are worth a month's food and drink at the Wang family. The Wang family is not a place for human beings to stay."
"Don't worry about it. Hongxiu is not close to her biological parents. They are just being sentimental."
I don’t know if Su Wanping said this to comfort herself or if she really thought so.
Chen Xiaoying thought carefully about her past life. Given Ma Hongxiu's arrogant attitude, she would definitely not recognize her biological parents who were so sloppy and poor. But the couple would try to curry favor with her, so what Ma Hongxiu showed through the gaps between her fingers was already a lot.
For Zhu Dahong's family, it was also a win-win.
My daughter was raised by others, and when she grows up, she can still catch up with us and ask for benefits.
I heard that when Ma Hongxiu was in school, her sisters would ask her for pocket money, and Ma Hongxiu would give them a few cents at a time. The sisters were very close to each other.
Later she didn't pay attention and didn't know what happened.
When people adopt a child, they are afraid that the child will no longer be close to the adoptive parents after recognizing his biological parents, so they usually move away, or simply find the child from far away. Or they make an appointment so that even if they meet the adoptive parents on the street in the future, they will not recognize them.
But Ma Guoming and Su Wanping were shy. After ten-year-old Zhu Dahong found Ma Hongxiu, the two of them worked here. Zhu Dahong and his wife not only secretly looked for Ma Hongxiu themselves, but also asked their other five children to look for Ma Hongxiu. Ma Guomin and Su Wanping were worried, but when they saw Ma Hongxiu said that she recognized them as one father and one mother, they thought that no matter how much Zhu Dahong tried to win over Ma Hongxiu, the children would not recognize them.
As a result, they didn't recognize each other. Ma Guoming and Su Wanping were both educated people with city household registration and both worked in libraries. As a result, in Ma Hongxiu's eyes, only a certain Beijing and a certain Hai were city people in the whole of China, and the rest were peasants.
Her biological parents are from the countryside, and in her eyes, they are the lowest people in society: vulgar, poor, and uneducated.
She was not blind. Her biological parents tried to please her in order to gain benefits. So from the beginning to the end, it seemed as if her biological parents were pestering her one-sidedly.
But in fact, Ma Hongxiu gave them a lot of benefits because they were their biological parents.
On the contrary, she always says to Ma Guoming and Su Wanping, the adoptive parents who raised her, provided her with abundant material conditions and supported her schooling: It's because I'm not their biological child... She is dissatisfied in many ways and feels that because she is an adopted daughter, they did not raise her with all their heart.
She never thought about it. If Ma Guoming and Su Wanping had not adopted her, if she continued to stay in the Wang family, she would not even be able to finish elementary school. As soon as she was able to do farm work, she would be like her sisters, and would be driven by her parents to work in the fields like sheep.
Chen Xiaoying didn't know how to tell Su Wanping: "Okay, just keep it in mind."
That being said, she still couldn't help herself: "I just think that, as people often say, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse gives birth to a son who can dig holes. Ma Hongxiu has the shadow of Zhu Dahong in her."
"You have to be rich and want to help her. After all, there are rich people in the United States. I don't know how much money she can make and whether it is enough for her to spend. At least when you want to help her, you can also save some money for your retirement."
"Guoming's nephew Ma Shuai, when Ma Guoming died, his brothers and this nephew also contributed. Didn't Ma Guoming say that he would leave a portion of the family property to Ma Shuai?"
As a man, blood ties matter. Although Ma Guoming has an adopted daughter, Ma Hongxiu, he has not forgotten his biological brother and nephew, and he also wants to help them. His last words were that if Ma Hongxiu did not provide for Su Wanping in her old age, she would be the one to take care of her.
If Ma Shuai took good care of Su Wanping and sent her off, he would get a share of his family property. The old house in the family had already been given to his brothers. The only request was that when they died, they would return to their roots and be buried in the Ma family's private plot.
His elder brother also agreed.
They agreed emotionally, but who knew that after Ma Hongxiu suddenly came back, people talked to Ma Shuai about the law. Ma Shuai didn't get a penny, and all the old furniture in the house was moved away by Zhu Dahong's family.
Ma Guoming's elder brother was so angry that he lay in bed for three days and couldn't eat.
They scolded Ma Guoming for raising a big rat for the Ma family, scolded Ma Guoming for being blind, and scolded Su Wanping for being a fool.
Some people with bad intentions suggested to him that he should not allow Ma Hongxiu to bury Su Wanping's coffin in the Ma family's land, just to see what Ma Hongxiu, who had no feelings for the Ma family, would do.
As a result, Ma Guoxi didn't say anything, and Ma Hongxiu directly burned Su Wanping's body.
