After all, no one would send their own daughter away and raise a child born to another woman as a treasure.

These are not human beings, they are beasts.

Such a rare thing, everyone in the village couldn't wait to spread it around.

Li Yutong had called in advance, and when the grandparents and grandchildren arrived at the road at the entrance of the village, a young girl in a blue cotton jacket was already waiting there.

The wind was still a little cold today, so Li Yutong hurried over and said, "Hu Xiaoyi, I'm so sorry, we're a little late. Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Hu Xiaoyi quickly shook her head: "It's okay, I just got here too."

She had already said it on the phone, and she immediately took Li Yutong and her grandmother Chen Xiaoying and walked along the path.

"It's cold today, there's not many people in the field, let's go from here."

Hu Xiaoyi is Li Yutong's high school classmate. The students of Kaiyuan No. 1 High School are top students selected from various towns and villages in Kaiyuan City. Hu Xiaoyi is a good student and was admitted to a teachers' college. He plans to become a teacher after graduation.

We chatted along the way and inevitably met people from the village when we entered the village.

"Xiaoyi, is this your relative?"

Why haven’t I seen it before?

Hu Xiaoyi said quickly: "She is my classmate. She passed by our village and wanted to come and see me. This is her grandmother."

Chen Xiaoying also smiled politely.

The villagers didn't ask any more questions.

When they came, the grandparents and grandchildren dressed up just like ordinary villagers.

Hu Xiaoyi's home is in the second brigade near the edge of the village, the first house in the second alley. When she entered the door, her parents were at home.

Li Yutong did not just pick a man casually. She trusted Hu Xiaoyi's character. Before coming, she also inquired about her parents' character from other places and found out that they were both honest farmers.

There is a son and a daughter in the family. Hu Xiaoyi's elder brother has graduated from university and works in the provincial capital. He will officially start work on the eighth day of the first lunar month, so he left early.

Hu Xiaoyi, like her, starts school on the 15th, and now there are only three of them at home.

After Li Yutong explained her purpose.

Hu Xiaoyi's parents looked at Chen Xiaoying next to them in surprise. They didn't expect that she was actually their biological daughter.

The Hu Duantui family on the west side of the village is the poorest family in the village and is still a poor household.

"Tell me the truth, how did that family treat her?" Chen Xiaoying said, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

She couldn't wait to see her biological daughter.

But she is the same age as Li Hongyan. Li Hongyan is already the mother of three sons. The eldest son, Zhao Pengfei, is already 26 years old. Her daughter should also be married. I wonder how she is doing.

Unexpectedly, Hu Xiaoyi's parents exchanged surprised looks, not knowing what to say.

Hu Xiaoyi actually knew this aunt. She was young and didn't think as much as her parents did, so she couldn't help but say, "I don't know what happened when she was a child, but I know that she came back from her husband's family a few years ago with her two daughters. Both daughters went out to work, so she, her mother, and her brothers lived at home."

"Are you back from your husband's house?" Chen Xiaoying didn't quite understand what it meant.

Is it a divorce, or is the man dead?

After hearing what their own child had said, Hu Xiaoyi's parents started talking about Hu Guihua.

"Her adoptive parents were average to her. They beat her a little, but most of the children in the village were beaten when they were young. She suffered because of poverty," said Hu Xiaoyi's father with emotion.

He is about the same age as Hu Guihua, Chen Xiaoying's biological daughter.

When he was very young, Hu Guihua started standing on a stool on the stove to cook for the family because her adoptive mother said that she was blind and the food she cooked was not clean.

When they were carefree playing as children, she was working. When they were in school, she was also working. In short, there was endless work to do, work in the fields and work at home.

In the early years, when her second brother with dementia did not fall into a ditch and die, she still had to take care of her second and third brothers with dementia in terms of food, clothing and shelter. Her adoptive father was a cripple, but at least he could still farm.

It's still too difficult to support this family of several people.

When it was time for her to get married at the age of 18, everyone shook their heads when they heard the conditions of Hu Guihua's family.

Even the old bachelor in his forties who could be Hu Guihua's father didn't want her.

Why? Her adoptive father said, "I raise my daughter to provide for me and my son in our old age. If she gets married, she won't care about the life and death of her parents and brothers. Is that okay?"

Although her adoptive father had a lame leg, he was a very smart man. He raised Hu Guihua to be a nanny for the whole family. So when Hu Guihua was very young, she started serving the family of four and eating other people's leftovers.

"Her father has told them more than once that the purpose of raising a daughter is to serve them. When she grows up, he will find a wife for his son. Or she can marry her second brother..."

Speaking of which.

Chen Xiaoying's face changed immediately. Her heart seemed to have fallen into an ice hole. Her own daughter had suffered so much, how could she not feel heartbroken.

She was scared, afraid that this would really happen.

Hu Xiaoyi's father saw that Chen Xiaoying was worried, and hurriedly said, "It didn't work out. Nowadays, there are fewer girls from different families, and the bride price is getting higher and higher. Girls who have remarried don't have trouble finding a husband. Who would marry the daughter they raised to a fool?"

"As for marrying his son, that's not possible either. The village chief has already said that they are legally siblings, and the country doesn't allow close relatives to marry. Let them give up on that idea."

"Our old village chief is quite good. When he saw his family giving birth to idiots one after another, he knew that there was something wrong with his family. If he married another wife, she might give birth to more idiots. He himself had already given birth to three idiots, but he still didn't give up."

Chen Xiaoying wiped her tears again and again. Even Li Yutong couldn't bear it any longer. She knew that her aunt must be having a hard time, but she never expected it to be so bad.

The psychological trauma suffered by a girl raised in such a family environment is fatal, and considering her age, she is already 48 years old.

This is how my life has passed.

For the first time, she hated her grandfather Li Pingwang for having harmed her daughter to this extent.

"What happened later? Didn't you say that she came back with two daughters? How did she get married? Who did she marry into?" Chen Xiaoying asked him with sobs.

"She is marrying Cao Tianwang from Caojia Village next door to us. Oh, I don't know what to say about this." Hu Xiaoyi's father was also a little embarrassed.

"What kind of person is he? Tell me, I can handle him." Chen Xiaoying said quickly.

Hu Xiaoyi's mother spoke up: "I know all this. This Cao Tianwang is a contractor, more than ten years older than Hu Guihua. He has money, so he promised Hu Duantui to take care of his family of four until the end of their lives. So Hu Duantui married Guihua to him."

"But..." She sighed, her face full of sympathy for Hu Guihua.

"But what?" Chen Xiaoying became worried again.

Hu Xiaoyi's mother lowered her voice and said, "But Cao Tianwang was married and had two sons with her. After his original wife died, he married a young and beautiful woman while he was working on a project outside. I heard that she had two sons and a daughter. Not only that, he also kept a mistress..."

After hearing this, both Chen Xiaoying and Li Yutong were a little confused.

He has no shortage of money, women, and has both a son and a daughter, so why did he marry Hu Guihua?
