Qin Hanshu sent Zhou Xie to school and took the opportunity to handle the property rights of the house in Beijing.
The house has been rented out for many years by Qin Feiyang, and Qin Hanshu also met the tenant.
She remembered that this area was going to be demolished in a few years, and it would be best if there were no tenants in the house during the demolition, especially tenants who had lived there for more than ten years. They might regard this place as their own home, and the demolition might cause some trouble.
Qin Hanshu took back the house on the grounds that his son was studying in Beijing and needed to return home to live.
Although the tenant is very reluctant and unwilling to leave, there is nothing he can do as he cannot just occupy the property even if the tenant no longer wants it.
However, Qin Hanshu gave them half a year to move, and the tenants began to be grateful to Qin Hanshu again.
The hostess of the tenant house was a woman in her forties. She said to Qin Hanshu, "A few years ago, a crazy woman came here and said this was her home and asked us to move out. I drove her away."
The woman said this with some hesitation.
Although the woman was a little crazy, some neighbors recognized her and said that she was the biological mother of Qin's landlord, who had remarried and seemed to be living a miserable life and wanted to come back.
At that time, she was afraid that the woman's biological mother would come back to live with her and would not rent the house to her, so she pretended not to know and drove the woman away as if she were a lunatic or a vagrant.
After being worried for a while, I gradually felt relieved when I found that the woman did not come again.
Now that I see Qin Hanshu, I feel that I should tell her about that matter. Anyway, she has insisted that she doesn't know that woman.
After listening to this, Qin Hanshu asked for some more details and guessed that it was Yang Aizheng.
She felt nothing in her heart.
Knowing that Yang Aizhen had a hard life, she didn't even feel the pleasure of revenge, unlike her feelings towards the Hu family.
Yang Aizhen was like a stranger to her now. She felt no hatred for him, but also no sympathy for him.
In the past, she would have fantasized that maybe she was not Yang Aizhen's biological daughter, otherwise, how could a mother have no love for her child? But later, she reconciled with reality.
Everything in this world probably depends on fate.
Qin Hanshu saw that the tenant was guilty and did not expose her.
"It doesn't matter. He might be a homeless person."
The tenant was relieved to see that Qin Hanshu did not pursue the matter.
***
In recent years, Yang Aizheng has thought about Qin Hanshu more and more.
Qin Hanshu, her only biological daughter, why did she seem to have disappeared from the world and she couldn't get in touch with her at all?
Yang Aizheng couldn't figure it out, and finally could only attribute the reason to the fact that Qin Hanshu was an ungrateful person who didn't want to recognize her as his mother.
As for why she didn't want to admit it, she subconsciously didn't want to think too much... In short, Qin Hanshu had no conscience! He didn't even care about his own mother's life or death!
"Yang Aizhen!" Old Mrs. Hu rushed in from outside like a gust of wind, grabbed Yang Aizhen's ear and scolded: "The paper mill said you haven't been to work for three days, so what have you been doing these days, leaving early and returning late? Are you thinking about running away again?! Bitch! I haven't dealt with you for too long, and you're itching for trouble again!"
As she spoke, Old Lady Hu picked up the broom beside her and hit Yang Aizheng with it.
Yang Aizheng shrank her body and endured it silently.
If she didn't resist, Mrs. Hu would stop beating her for a while.
Sure enough, when Old Mrs. Hu was tired of beating, she threw the broom away and asked her to go cook.
Old Mrs. Hu was also old. She didn't have the strength to attack Yang Aizheng, and she didn't have the energy to watch her.
Three years ago, Yang Aizhen ran back to the city and returned to her former home.
However, the house was occupied by someone.
Yang Aizheng felt panicked and shouted to drive them away, but there were so many people and the neighbors just watched and did not help her, so in the end she was the one who was driven away.
I heard that the house was rented out.
But Yang Aizheng couldn't find Qin Hanshu or Qin Feiyang, and she had no power to compete with others for the house.
There was no choice but for Yang Aizhen to return to the Hu family.
When Old Lady Hu saw her coming back, she made some sarcastic remarks and then stopped caring about her whereabouts. She could see that Yang Aizheng was a useless person who could not survive alone and her only daughter would not take care of her.
Moreover, Yang Aizhen is old now and cannot remarry. She can only stay in the Hu family honestly. At least she has a roof over her head and there is a strong laborer like Hu Bingbing to guard the house, so she will not be bullied.
Old Mrs. Hu saw through Yang Aizheng very clearly, and she indeed thought so.
Even though Old Lady Hu beat and scolded her, and asked her to work in a privately-owned paper mill in the village to earn money, she never thought of going out to survive independently.
Yang Aizheng was cooking when she heard a commotion outside.
After a while, old lady Hu started crying loudly.
"Oh my God, which damn bastard beat up my grandson!"
"Bingbing, Bingbing, please open your eyes and look at grandma."
"My dear grandson, are you still alive?"
Upon hearing that Hu Bingbing was in trouble, Yang Aizheng hurried out to see what happened.
......
Hu Bingbing was carried back by someone. He looked dying, but he was not dead. His legs were broken.
The man who beat him was the son of the paper mill owner, a well-known nouveau riche.
Hu Bingbing has a bad temper, so it is normal for him to offend people. However, he has a mental problem, and most people in the village would rather avoid him than offend him.
I'm lucky to have my legs broken after so many years.
Old Mrs. Hu cried and shouted for justice for Hu Bingbing, but in the end she only got one thousand yuan in compensation.
One thousand yuan is not a lot of money to buy Hu Bingbing's two legs, but Old Mrs. Hu knows the situation and is afraid that if the fuss continues, she will not even have one thousand yuan left.
A few years ago, when she still had money, she found a wife for Hu Bingbing.
After a few years, the wife saw that the family's money had been almost spent and Hu Bingbing still beat people at every turn. She felt that there was no hope in life, so she ran away and did not give birth to a child for the Hu family.
Hu Bingbing's leg is broken now, and he will have to lie in bed for the rest of his life. Old Mrs. Hu is old, and it is unknown how many years she has left to live...
We can only rely on Yang Aizhen.
Old Mrs. Hu knew that Yang Aizheng was a selfish person. If there was any other way, she would not stay in the Hu family obediently.
Now Yang Aizheng has no other way to go, but she must be given hope so that she will be more at ease serving Hu Bingbing.
One day, Old Mrs. Hu brought a seven-year-old boy home.
Yang Aizheng knew that the little boy was the great-grandson from Old Lady Hu’s maternal side.
Old Mrs. Hu said, "Aizhen, Bingbing is in this state now, so we can't expect him to marry and have children. But the incense of our Hu family must not be cut off. This child will be named Hu in the future. Let him be Bingbing's son, that is, your grandson. You treat him well, and he will be filial to you when he grows up."
The little boy was very sweet-mouthed, calling her "Grandma" over and over again, which made Yang Aizheng's originally reluctant heart slowly soften.
Yes, what else can she expect in this life? She can't even see her own daughter. She needs someone by her side when she gets old.
The child is already seven years old. If he is raised in ten years or so, he will be able to set up his own household.
At this time, Yang Aizheng did not expect that the other child had a biological father and mother, and came to the Hu family with the intention of making the whole family rich.
As soon as the child grows up, he will drive her and Hu Bingbing out of the house, and she and the disabled Hu Bingbing will die quietly in the freezing winter night.
