Because it was remote and because Hu Quezi's house was too dirty, people nearby simply moved to the end of the village. The old adobe house was left unattended, the roof collapsed, and the walls were washed away by rain, leaving only the knee-high foundation. The yard was overgrown with weeds and became a gathering place for wild cats.

Looking at such a home, Hu Dayong's wife felt more and more sympathetic towards Hu Guihua.

She is so pitiful.

A healthy little girl grew up in such a family environment. If she was born here, it would be her own misfortune. But she was sent here artificially and forced to bear the burden of a family of four with nearly thirty or forty disabled people.

She couldn't even imagine how Hu Guihua, who was still a baby at the time, could survive under the care of her blind mother and still be a normal person without any distorted personality.

"Sister-in-law, do you have something to talk to me about?" Hu Guihua asked softly.

In her heart, she couldn't help but think of what happened yesterday. Her biological mother seemed to really feel sorry for her when she saw her crying.

She has lived in a family where she has been discriminated against and bullied since she was a child. She has to read people's faces since she was a child. She can understand that her mother really loves her.

Does her mother have something to tell her?

Hu Xiaoyi's mother came today because she is kind-hearted and couldn't help but come over to ask her something.

Anyway, this place is remote, and most of the time the villagers don't come here because they think it is unlucky and are afraid of bringing bad luck upon themselves.

When Cao Tianwang was willing to "marry" Hu Guihua, he also specially consulted a fortune teller, who said that Hu Guihua's fate would be bitter at first but sweet later, and that she would also bring good luck to her husband. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Cao Tianwang, a businessman, to "marry" her.

Hu Xiaoyi's mother quietly asked her: "Guihua, what do you think? Are you willing to meet your biological mother?"

Hu Guihua lowered her eyelids and said nothing.

She doesn't know either.

What's the point of admitting it? She is already 48 years old and this is how her life will be.

Even if she denied it, she was unwilling to spend the rest of her short life stuck in the quagmire that she had dreamed of crawling out of all her life.

It’s not that she didn’t try hard, but her efforts could not change a family like this.

Foster father, foster mother and two foster brothers with dementia, they not only need to eat and wear clothes, they also need to see a doctor and take medicine.

She worked desperately to follow her lame adoptive father and work in the fields. When there was no work in her own fields, she went to work for others to earn work points. In the end, the money she earned was only enough to support her family of five.

Didn't she try hard?

She worked so hard that she vomited blood, but she finally had some money in her hand after a year, and any one of the four members of her family could pay for the medical expenses by going to the county health center.

For an average family, one disabled person is already a burden, let alone the fact that she has to support four disabled people.

It was useless for her to work hard. After she married Cao Tianwang, she lived the easiest ten years of her life. She only had to serve an old lady who was paralyzed in bed, and she was even willing to take care of her excrement and urine.

Because she has been cleaning up the messes of her two mentally retarded brothers since she was a child.

They don't even know to take off their pants when going to the toilet, let alone wipe their butts.

Hu Guihua's throat choked with sobs, her eyes were wet, and she was unable to speak.

She didn't say a word, but it was worth a thousand words.

Hu Xiaoyi's mother understood. How could she be unwilling when she came to find her and wanted to meet her?

She said, "Guihua, actually, you and I are from the same village. I am not familiar with my daughter's classmate and her grandmother. I just want the best for you."

"To tell you the truth, your mother's family is rich. She bought a house in the county town for each of her children. Each of her children has a stable job. They have opened several restaurants, and I heard that they also have several large shops under their names that collect rent."

"You saw your niece yesterday. She owns the most popular hotpot restaurant on Ping An Road. She looks like a good girl. But even if they have some selfish motives, since you are so poor now, if they just give you a few thousand yuan, won't that give you some relief?"

Hu Guihua's two daughters had to go work right after graduating from junior high school because they had no money.

"Da Ya and Er Ya are both working in other places. What future can they have as migrant workers? What if they are swindled away by a poor boy from other places? What will you do? Don't you want to have a house in the county town, call your two daughters back, find them jobs in the county town, and introduce them to a good family nearby who knows them well?"

Hu Xiaoyi's mother knew what was going on and gave Hu Guihua some suggestions.

When Hu Guihua was kicked out by Cao Tianwang, Cao Tianwang only gave 2,000 yuan for child support for his two daughters. He then severed the father-daughter relationship and forbade them to look for him again.

They didn't even have enough money to pay for their school fees, so Hu Guihua worked very hard. However, in the village, no matter how good the corn and wheat harvests were throughout the year, she couldn't earn any extra money. What good could hard work do?

Hu Guihua's heart was moved.

She was really persuaded. She wanted to be a little selfish, not for herself, but for her two daughters. Even if her biological mother was not sincere, even if she went to please her, as long as she could give her a little bit of money and help her two daughters live a more relaxed life, she was willing.

"……good."

She agreed.

I originally felt some resentment in my heart, but later I felt that it was unreasonable to resent my own mother.

It was my father's evil act.

But she couldn't bear to suffer for forty-eight years and then easily forgive her mother.

Hu Guihua agreed, and Hu Xiaoyi's mother breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, how about you pack up and go find her tomorrow?"

Hu Guihua nodded silently.

"Do you know where it is? Is it the Chen Li Xiaoxiao restaurant on Renmin Street?" Hu Xiaoyi's mother was worried that she couldn't find the place.

But Hu Guihua knew: "I know that place. I passed by there a few months ago when Xiaofu was hospitalized for epilepsy."

At that time, she passed by there and smelled the fragrance of the buns. She couldn't help but take a deep breath. She had never smelled the aroma of such delicious food.

From childhood to adulthood, we only had coarse flour steamed buns and pickles in our family. We only dared to cook during the Chinese New Year, and we didn’t dare to use too much oil. The dishes we cooked had to be eaten by our adoptive parents and two mentally retarded brothers.

She could only taste the meat by tasting their leftover soup. Then, during the years when she was married to Cao Tianwang and ate the meat porridge left by her paralyzed mother-in-law, she realized how delicious meat was.

"Don't be afraid when you go. I see that your biological mother and your niece are here to find you sincerely. I think that your hard days are finally over. It's time for the fortune teller to say that after all the hardship comes happiness." Hu Xiaoyi's mother said.

She meant well, and Hu Guihua was not an ungrateful person, so she thanked her again and again.

It was also because Hu Guihua had been down-to-earth, hardworking and capable over the years that she had gained a good reputation in Hujiazhuang, that Hu Xiaoyi's mother was willing to take this step and kindly persuade her.

Otherwise, who would want to meddle in other people's affairs?
