Chapter 500: With a Stepmother, There is a Stepfather
"After she discussed it with my father, my father and mother actually kicked me out of the house, saying they no longer had a daughter like me."
"I sat at the door for two days. I knew no matter how I explained, my parents wouldn't believe me, so I had no choice but to leave."
"It wasn't long before I ran into your father again. I hadn't eaten for two days, so I fainted in front of him."
"After waking up, I had nowhere to go, and I didn't dare to look for my friends, worried that they would dislike me. So I asked your father to help me find a place to stay temporarily."
"He was looking for a widow's family in the village. After hearing about your father's request, the widow readily agreed and told others that I was the widow's niece."
"Later, the Song family wanted to arrange a marriage for him. The widow knew that I liked him, so she hinted to your father to come and propose."
"Your father also liked me, so he married me."
Song Chuman raised her eyebrows. Isn't this a story about a hero saving a beauty and being promised her love to him?
Song Qingqing sighed and said, "At first, my father and mother strongly opposed this marriage, saying that my eldest sister-in-law's widowed aunt was too poor and would not agree. Later, my eldest brother told me my eldest sister-in-law's true identity, and my father and mother thought that they could benefit from my eldest sister-in-law's family in the future, so they agreed."
"But later, my father and mother went to the Sheng family several times, and each time they were driven away by the Sheng family. They never dared to go again, and they were sure that the Sheng family had really abandoned their daughter, my sister-in-law."
Song Hexiu's face turned a little grim as he thought of the past. "The old couple of the Song family took out all the anger they suffered in the Sheng family on your mother. Luckily, I discovered it in time, otherwise, she would have been exhausted to death in the first year of marrying me."
Song Chuman frowned, "The Sheng family is too heartless. Without investigating the matter thoroughly, they rashly kicked their own daughter out of the house and left her to destroy herself."
Seeing her daughter's grim expression, Sheng Shuwan smiled with a relaxed expression, "Ah Man, you must have heard a saying in the village over the past few years: if you have a stepmother, you will also have a stepfather."
Song Chuman was stunned: "Mother, are you saying that it was your stepmother who whispered in your father's ear and drove you out?"
Sheng Shuwan nodded.
Thinking of her biological mother, she had a look of loneliness in her eyes: "My mother passed away when I was five years old. Although I was young at that time, I can still recall what she looked like."
"She is beautiful and gentle. No matter what I do wrong, she always talks to me gently and reasonably."
"But suddenly one day, my mother disappeared. My father told me that she committed suicide. A year later, he married my stepmother and said she was my mother."
Song Chuman said, "Mother, you must have had a hard time as a child."
Given her personality, she probably wouldn't dare to resist even if someone bullied her.
Sheng Shuwan shook her head: "It wasn't too hard. Not long after my stepmother came into the family, my maternal grandparents were worried that I would be bullied, so they took me back to their home."
"My stepmother felt uncomfortable looking at me as her stepdaughter, so when the people from my maternal grandparents came, I agreed without a second thought."
"Maybe it's because I didn't grow up with my father, so he doesn't have much affection for me."
"Until a month before I was kicked out of the Sheng Mansion, an urgent report came from the border that all members of my maternal grandfather's family, regardless of gender, could go to the battlefield. In order to fight the enemy, we had no choice but to move our entire family to the border."
