Chapter 127 The Fate of Willow Catkins
Liu Xu's sadness made Jiang Xinyu feel uncomfortable. Besides bitterness, she also felt an unspeakable anger.
Mother's love is great, isn't it said that she almost cried her eyes out because she missed her son?
Now that she has found her son, she has withdrawn her motherly love because he does not meet her ideal of perfection.
Haha, that’s ridiculous, so ridiculous.
Mrs. Wang wiped Liu Xu's tears while she herself kept crying. She had never expected her cousin to be like this.
Yu'er was so lively and cute when he was little. The child has suffered so much for so many years, but his cousin doesn't even think about revenge for him. How can this be what a mother should do?
Not to mention that they are Yu'er's blood relatives, even her cousin wants to strangle the vicious couple and the bastard who took over Yu'er's identity.
What do you mean Yao'er is innocent? When she saw her cousin's reply, she really wanted to rush back and slap her twice to wake her up.
If it wasn't for Zhang Yao, would the couple be so vicious to Yu'er?
How can a vested interest be innocent?
He cries so pitifully and you let his parents go, then who will give justice to Yu'er?
Do you know how many times Yuer has cried over the years?
Kowtow and kneel a few times, and that's pitiful enough. Even if he kneeled until his knees were broken, it would not be even a fraction of the pain Yu'er suffered.
Mrs. Wang had actually already thought about it.
From the moment she saw through her cousin's attitude, she no longer wanted Yu'er to recognize his ancestors.
Anyway, the family didn't know what Yu'er looked like, so she changed the child's name and adopted him as her son, then bought him a house and land and helped him get married.
You don't want this son, but I do!
Positive and motivated people always make people like them more. Jiang Xinyu has not had much contact with Liu Xu, but he has seen his changes in recent days.
From a young prostitute who walked with his hips twitching and spoke in a hushed voice to the normal man he is now, one can imagine how much Liu Xu has suffered.
Even when he arrived at the farm, he never slacked off for a moment. Even when his legs were rubbed raw from riding and his hands were hurt by the bowstring, he never complained or felt tired.
These days Liu Xu's eyes have been bright, full of longing for future life.
He wanted to reform himself quickly and return to his family and integrate into normal life.
But now the light in Liu Xu's eyes has gone out, as if she has lost hope in life.
There is nothing more painful than losing everything when you are almost successful.
Jiang Xinyu felt sad for Liu Xu, and Mrs. Wang regretted telling the truth to her child so early.
But who could have thought that my cousin who prayed to God every day and said she would rather die than find her son would actually...
Forget it, it’s destined that my cousin and Yu’er don’t have this mother-son relationship.
Mrs. Wang patted Liu Xu's hand and said, "My dear child, if you don't want to go back to the Zhang family, then we won't go back. We can just think that your cousin's son has died a long time ago.
In the future, you will be your cousin's son. Our family is richer than the Zhang family. Although your two elder brothers and one younger brother are useless, they are very good-natured and will never let you be bullied."
Liu Xu shook her head blankly, "No need, aunt, no, Madam Wang.
Even your own mother wouldn't recognize such a filthy thing as Liu Xu, so there's no point in letting her tarnish the reputation of your house.
Don't worry, I won't be too upset.
I have survived the days of Nanfeng Pavilion and I will not commit suicide."
As he spoke, Liu Xu tried to force a bitter smile.
“I am much stronger now and have the strength to survive without having to sell my body.
I've been disturbed by the catkins these days. I will leave tomorrow.
I can’t pay you back for the redemption money right now, I will repay you when I have money in the future.”
The sound of the catkins was very quiet, but the quieter it was, the more distressed Mrs. Wang felt, and her tears could not stop falling.
"My son, why do you say these words and hurt my heart?
When you came to our house as a guest, you were a little kid who was well-behaved and sensible.
Your second brother was mad at me, but you still said that you were the best son to me. Now that I recognized you, it is destined that we are mother and son. "
But Liu Xu shook his head firmly.
The governor's wife treated him well because she was her aunt, and Mrs. Wang felt sorry for him because he was the son of her cousin.
Now that this relationship is gone, Liu Xu is just a prostitute from Nanfeng Pavilion. He and she are from completely different worlds.
He could see that Mrs. Wang truly pitied him, but he could not be without self-awareness.
Seeing the two of them sitting opposite each other crying, Jiang Xinyu also howled twice at the top of her voice. It was very unpleasant to hear, like a silly girl.
This strange movement immediately startled Mrs. Wang and Liu Xu, and they even forgot to cry.
Jiang Xinyu chuckled, "I just wanted to see you two crying so I stood up to cope with the situation."
Mrs. Wang glared at her with disdain, "You are so heartless."
"How can this be called heartless? This is called being open-minded.
It’s just that your parents don’t want you. It’s no big deal.
My father wanted to kill me, but now I am living a happy life."
Jiang Xinyu had never met the so-called cousin who married into the Zhang family and had no feelings for her.
On the contrary, I admire Liu Xu's personality, so I will naturally stand on his side to analyze the problem.
My aunt meant well but it was not a perfect plan. Truth will come to light sooner or later. Once Liu Xu went to Jiangnan, there was no guarantee that the truth would be exposed.
Apart from other things, the Zhang family and the Duan family have always been close friends. No matter how much Liu Xu's face changes, it always looks the same. If outsiders can't recognize her, how can his family members not recognize her?
When his identity is exposed, it will cause another problem.
The plot about the true and false daughter in the novels I read before was simply poorly written. Jiang Xinyu could guess what kind of life Liu Xu would live after returning to the Zhang family even with her eyes closed.
If you keep a fake one for a long time and develop feelings for it, the blood relationship won't be important anymore.
Zhang Yao has been deeply rooted in the Zhang family for so many years. Not to mention the master, even the servants in the family would not side with Liu Xu, an outsider.
Coupled with her awkward identity and different living habits, it was extremely difficult for Liu Xu to fit in.
It is better to stay away from them completely than to get involved with that family and get hurt again.
Jiang Xinyu analyzed the matter objectively to the two of them, and then turned his gaze to Liu Xu.
“It’s right that cousin Yu doesn’t want to return to the Zhang family, but you don’t have to draw a line between us.
The relationships between people are all determined by fate. Anyway, I have never met that so-called cousin. Whether she recognizes you or not will not prevent us from being friends.
Family affection is something that cannot be forced, but whether you are willing to accept your fate depends entirely on your own choice.
You must have heard that I got on the wrong chariot and was married to Xiao Yuan, but what outsiders don't know is that I planned the marriage myself.
My father favors my half sister. In order to let my half sister marry into the Duke's Mansion as a second wife, he had already discussed with my fiancé to kill me.
But I don't do what they want. If my husband's family is plotting against me, I'll just marry someone else. If my parents' family is plotting against me, I'll just abandon them.
Look, I'm doing pretty well now, right?
I am better now, but that family is the one who is suffering.”
Mrs. Wang quickly agreed, "Yu'er is right. She is a little girl who is alone and helpless but she didn't give up.
At least you still have us, and better days are ahead.
When you become successful, they will regret it."
Liu Xu smiled bitterly.
Jiang Xinyu was a daughter of an official and could change her social class by getting married, but what did he have?
Being born in Nanfeng Pavilion blocked all his paths. He was not good at civil studies or military affairs, so how could he achieve success and fame?
Jiang Xinyu seemed to see what Liu Xu was thinking and suddenly smiled sinisterly.
"Since willow catkins are destined to be useless, let them die!
Mrs. Zhang doesn't have to worry about the death of the person and the debt is gone. I believe the whole family will be able to live in harmony."
