Li Pingwang also burst into tears. His eldest daughter was so pitiful: "Don't, don't, how about..."
He looked at Chen Xiaoying with tearful eyes: "Give, give money, give..."
"Get out! You have no right to speak here and you still ask me to give you money. She should be the one compensating me. She has ruined my daughter's life." Chen Xiaoying kicked Li Pingwang to the ground viciously.
Li Pingwang was anxious and angry. Chen Xiaoying, this old woman, didn't understand what he meant at all. She had money, so why didn't she just give some money to the mother and son?
She was obsessed with money and even after finding her biological daughter, she was reluctant to spend money to redeem her.
Qian Liuni cried, "I don't want money. Hua was raised by me. She is my daughter. You can't take her away. Woo, you can't—"
She is not stupid. In a situation like her family's, what's the use of having money?
Whether it's ten yuan or a hundred yuan, she can touch it. When she buys something and the person gives it to her, they say it's one yuan. What can she do?
Xiaofu is a fool and he doesn't know money.
"You are forcing my mother and me to die. You have such vicious hearts."
Qian Liuni cried bitterly and held Hu Guihua's arm tightly, as if she would drag Hu Guihua into the coffin with her even if she died, and let Guihua continue to work hard for her family even in the underworld.
"Pingping, why would you care about such a greedy person? You have served her family for more than 40 years, that's enough!" Chen Xiaoying was not afraid of Qian Liuni. She stepped forward and tore her arm fiercely: "I have already inquired. My daughter washes the feet of the four people in your family. She started cooking for you when she was five or six years old, and followed your cripple to work in the fields. You also let her follow a married man like Cao Tianwang. You have ruined her life!"
"I'm her biological mother. I haven't settled accounts with you yet. How long do you want to destroy my daughter? Do you want to destroy her until the day she dies, huh?"
"No, no." Qian Liuni cried, "Our family is just like this, we don't want to..."
"But my daughter is my own. Why do you care about her like this? Let go!" Chen Xiaoying finally pried Qian Liuni's arms apart with all her might, pushed her away, and pulled Hu Guihua behind her.
Hu Guihua's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. Looking at her biological mother in front of her who was blocking all this for her, she could no longer hold back her tears and knelt on the ground, crying inconsolably.
Everyone in Hujiazhuang with eyes can see what kind of life Hu Guihua has lived.
If she was born in such a family, she would be unlucky, but she was stolen by Hu Guizi, so she didn't have to suffer such hardship.
"Now that we've found the person, let's get in the car and go," said the captain of the police station.
"No, no!" Qian Liuni rolled on the ground and tried to hug Hu Guihua's thigh, but she was blind and couldn't find it. She hugged a villager's leg, and the villager was so scared that he quickly pushed her away: "You recognized the wrong person."
Qian Liuni was desperate and burst into tears: "Hua, you have no conscience. You are worse than an animal. I shouldn't have raised you to this age. I should have strangled you to death earlier."
It was a waste of so much food at home. After she grew up, she ran away.
“You are not a human being!”
Hu Guihua's face turned pale. She finally stood up and looked at Qian Liuni: "Who is supporting whom? I started working for the family when I was five or six years old. I cooked and washed clothes for you. I followed your husband to weed and tend to the crops. I never went to school for a day. I worked so hard every day. But your husband came back from the fields and lay down on the kang, waiting for me to cook for him."
"You have hands and feet, but you lie on the kang all day just waiting for food? What's the difference between you and a useless person?"
"There is a couple in the next village who have never been seen. They grow bean sprouts and sell them at the market to support their only daughter to go to college. But you don't pick up a single leaf of vegetable at home. You are blind and can't see. Everyone in the village can see it. Look at you, you eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and now you are so fat."
Qian Liuni trembled all over after being scolded by Hu Guihua, feeling fear, anger, and shame.
She usually opens her mouth and closes it. She is blind and cannot see, so others have to help her, sympathize with her, feel sorry for her and go along with her.
Especially Hu Guihua, she had to serve her obediently.
But now, when this matter was made public, she seemed like a good-for-nothing who only opened her mouth to eat.
"Yes, this blind woman used to be skinny and followed the lame man to beg for food. Later, when Guihua was able to work, she stopped doing anything and gradually became fatter."
"If you eat and sleep, then sleep and eat, you will get fat, right? We work in the fields every day, doing hard labor, so we can't get fat even if we want to."
The village chief of Hujiazhuang saw at this time that Hu Guihua would definitely follow her biological mother today, but Qian Liuni and Hu Xiaofu, mother and son, were now useless. If Hu Guihua passed away, wouldn't the burden be on him as the village chief? If he watched these two starve to death, would others say that he was not doing his job as the village chief?
"Well, Guihua, although she is a little selfish, she raised you after all. It doesn't seem good for you to just give up on her." No matter how much the village chief sympathized with Hu Guihua, he didn't want to be alone in this matter.
Hu Guihua thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I will be like the other people in the village who have split up their families. I will provide them with food every month, and they can take care of the rest themselves."
Both of them are capable of moving. Sometimes when she couldn't cook and her lame father scolded Qian Liuni for being a blind daughter-in-law, she would touch the stove and cook. In other words, she didn't raise her until she was five or six years old. In those years, Qian Liuni cooked and washed clothes for the family by herself. According to the villagers, her lame father would also pull her to the fields to do some work within her ability.
For example, when the lame man was weeding in front, she would pick up the weeds and carry them to the edge of the field, and the lame man would throw them to the edge of the field. When planting, she would feel the hole and plant corn kernels in it...
But when she could work, she did nothing.
The village chief also knew that Qian Liuni could cook and work: "Well, okay."
What else can I do?
Hu Guihua just turned around and left, and no one could do anything to her. She was 48 years old, and it was enough to ruin her life in this family.
Qian Liuni couldn't accept it: "I haven't cooked for many years. I'm blind and I can't see. And what about Xiaofu? What should I do with Xiaofu..."
She was a little crazy. She could imagine what kind of hard life she and her son would have to live on their own without Hu Guihua's service.
"Xiaofu still has to get married, and we agreed to build him a house..."
No one could listen any longer.
"Come on, Qian Liuni, you and the cripple have given birth to three sons, all of them are idiots. Do you still want Xiaofu to have another idiot?"
"Yeah, don't push it too far. Besides, what kind of wife can Xiaofu marry? She's probably a fool. What about you supporting two fools?"
"Without Guihua, you can hardly even support yourself and Xiaofu. You are really crazy."
No matter what Qian Liuni said, no one paid any attention to her.
Chen Xiaoying pulled Hu Guihua into the car and said, "Pingping, Mom will take you home."
