But Xiaofang would never dare to think of this hope. After all, she is a money-loser and a disabled person, which is a retribution that no one likes.
After knowing that she couldn't walk, her family no longer treated her as a human being. When she was still young and ignorant, she began to use her hands instead of her feet to walk. She had endless work to do every day, but she didn't even have the right to eat a bite of rice.
Most girls in the village are like this. It seems that she has not yet understood what hope is, but has already begun to accept her fate. She lives a numb life every day, with no food to eat or clothes to wear, and no work to do, and the end of the days is foreseeable at a glance.
She will never forget that afternoon when Aunt Cen appeared in front of her with a head full of golden light. She looked into her eyes, which were full of seriousness.
She asked, "Do you want to have legs so you can walk normally? Do you want to live a normal girl's life, a happy life in the sunshine?"
She didn't understand the meaning of these words at that time, so she nodded subconsciously.
Then, she saw Aunt Cen using force to intimidate the villagers, negotiate with the village chief and her parents, and spend a huge sum of three hundred yuan to buy herself out of that cannibalistic family.
She was carried by Aunt Cen out of that backward and ignorant little village, and saw her parents happily counting the money, which could be regarded as the money from selling their daughter, and they were reluctant to even give her a last look.
In the days that followed, she seemed to be living in a dream, undergoing treatment year after year and receiving encouragement from Aunt Cen.
She started to laugh and play like an ordinary little girl, and had a normal life. She could carry her schoolbag and go to the spacious and bright classroom to study with her friends.
Others may think that she has forgotten her original family, but she hasn't. She remembers everything clearly and knows more deeply who gave her a different life.
Gradually, she was able to walk normally like other children. After many years of treatment and rehabilitation, she could even run and jump like ordinary people. At that moment, she knew that Aunt Cen was her savior and the redeemer was the God in her heart.
In fact, there are many children like her, both boys and girls. Without exception, they are all children with disabilities or illnesses, and they are all truly abandoned and lonely children. They are like a big family together, tied together.
They use their young and broken bodies to protect this hard-earned happiness. Aunt Cen is the mother in their hearts. If it weren't for her, most of the children here would have turned into a handful of earth long ago.
After Aunt Cen sponsored her to graduate from college, she resolutely gave up a good job opportunity and came to Aunt Cen. She wanted to be the savior of those children like Aunt Cen, and she also wanted to stay with Aunt Cen and help her.
Of course, she was not the only one who had this idea. Everyone wanted to take over her job, but she was the only one who had done it the longest because Aunt Cen said that they should be themselves instead of being bound by illusory favors.
Today, their families have grown very large. Many of them have married and had children, and many have even become grandparents. But deep down they all have a belief that they want to be like Mother Cen and make it their lifelong career.
Those who have money can donate money, and those who have strength can donate strength to help Mother Cen and more people like them, so that there will be one less lonely life waiting for death in the world.
Xiaofang frowned in worry. Aunt Cen's condition was getting worse and worse. As someone who had taught herself nursing and obtained a qualification certificate, she knew very well what this situation meant.
Is it time to send a message to my brothers and sisters? We can’t let everyone remember Aunt Cen with regrets. How cruel would that be?
Her fingers slid across the page on her phone, and it took her a long time to finally make a decision. A message was sent out silently, and for a moment the big family group was in chaos.
But things will soon become calm and orderly. After all, this group is managed by someone, and everything will definitely be arranged. Everyone comes to show their faces in front of Aunt Cen, and it would be best if Aunt Cen can remember each of them.
Only then will Aunt Cen be able to leave with peace of mind, right? Although this isn't what they want to face, life can't always go as planned...
Chen Ye found that after a nap, he began to encounter these children in different situations.
She smiled, knowing the hearts of these children, and she did not object. She knew that regret was the thing that made it most difficult for a person to let go, and she hoped that these children would be able to send her off with a smile in the future.
She walked around the small village where she was born again. It had completely changed. Almost none of the people she knew back then were alive. Maybe she had also achieved a different kind of death, since she was the longest-lived person in the village.
Her mud house still existed, and it was the villagers who helped maintain it so that it didn't really collapse, but she couldn't live in it anymore, so she could only look at it.
She took Xiaofang to see the secret room they had discovered. She didn't expect that it would be opened one day. Except for the fact that there was more dust inside, there seemed to be no changes.
The previous scene flashed before her eyes. She smiled and patted Xiaofang's hand, "I have already bought this place. From now on, this will be your secret base."
Xiaofang is the only one who is not married and has no children, and is also the person who has been with her the longest. If she leaves, she must arrange Xiaofang's future life.
"Auntie Cen..." Xiaofang only called out these three words, and her eyes were already red, and tears began to slide down her cheeks.
"You! You're just too sentimental. It's all my fault that you've been delayed."
"No, I don't believe in love and family at all. This has nothing to do with you." Xiaofang looked stubborn. She didn't want to become Aunt Cen's regret.
