Chapter 32 Sixteen Years
The good news is that Xu Shumei has an inexplicable sense of trust and closeness towards Xia Mufan. She holds her hand and calls her Mumu and baby. When Xia Mufan calls her mom, she will respond with a smile.
The bad news is that Xu Shumei has intellectual impairment and memory loss, and knows nothing about her past experiences. Although she could handle herself, her speech was unclear, she was a little afraid of strangers, and she was only willing to follow Xia Muchan.
Xia Mufan was both happy and heartbroken.
The good news is that my mother is not dead, she is still alive.
The pain is because of Zou Jianzhang, the old man and a "good man" in the eyes of everyone, and Yao Yanfei, the vicious fool who always claims to have no ill intentions, the best sixteen years of my mother's life, which should have been painted with brilliant colors, ended up being as plain as a blank sheet of paper, and was spent in this remote and poor mountain valley.
Originally, my mother could have had a good future.
She has good grades, good writing skills, and has published short poems. If she is determined to go to college, she may become a pastoral poet.
Even if she had not gone to college, with the spring breeze of reform blowing into the countryside in the 1980s, her smart and capable mother might have become a trend-setter of the era.
At worst, all her talents will be buried in that home in Wupi Village, but at least she will grow up with Xia Mufan, and the family of three will live happily together.
However, all this was ruined by Zou Jianzhang and Yao Yanfei!
Why didn't Zou Jianzhang choose to call the police after bringing Xu Shumei back, but instead lied to everyone and said she was his fiancée? Why did you sell your job in such a hurry and return home? Why didn't you give up and take good care of Xu Shumei when she was unable to have children and her intelligence was that of a child?
Maybe good people can also be greedy?
Maybe he treated Xu Shumei kindly to make up for his mistakes?
Maybe he died early because he felt guilty about doing something wrong?
The answers to these questions were taken to the grave by Zou Jianzhang, and Xia Mufan had no way of knowing them.
As for Yao Yanfei...
After Yao Yanfei confessed the process of her evil deeds, the Hui City Public Security Bureau reported the situation to the Xing City Public Security Bureau and the Hunan Provincial Department. The provincial trade union and organization department where she worked attached great importance to it and set up a special investigation team. She has been suspended from work for reflection, and even Yao's father, who was hospitalized due to cerebral infarction, is under investigation.
Isn't it that the reason why Yao Yanfei dares to act so arrogantly is because he relies on his father's backing?
As a provincial party committee leader, Yao's father allowed his daughter to wantonly harm a woman she had never met before. Didn't he abuse his power or commit corruption and pervert the law? Who would believe that!
Pull out the radish and bring out the dirt. This investigation shocked everyone.
All the evil things that Yao's father did, one by one, were enough for him to be sentenced to death twice!
When Yao Yanfei saw the task force starting to investigate his father and confiscate all the family's property, he was terrified and felt like he had lost his parents. But it's too late to regret now.
Xia Mufan snorted coldly after receiving the news.
He almost killed my mother and ruined her sixteen years of youth. There is no way she could have a good ending!
If you do evil, there will always be retribution, right?
Xia Mufan brought his mother back to Hui City.
Before the person arrived, the news had already spread within the Hui City Public Security Bureau.
The colleagues at the Public Security Bureau who knew the truth of the matter and were aware of the difficulties Xia Mufan had faced in tracking him down, were full of admiration for Xia Mufan, a newcomer who had just joined the Criminal Investigation Brigade this year.
It’s really not easy.
A six-year-old child, when all relatives had given up looking for Xu Shumei and the police station declared Xu Shumei legally dead, still firmly believed that his mother was not dead and that she must be waiting for him to find her somewhere in this world.
To achieve this persistence, she was admitted to Huaxia Police University with excellent grades, and was assigned to Hui City on her own initiative. She started as a police officer in the police station, and with continuous efforts, she was finally transferred to the serious crime team and got the opportunity to reopen an old case.
Even though all the evidence has faded in the long river of history, Xia Mufan still refuses to give up. Starting from the source of the rumor in the village, he traces it bit by bit, follows the clues, discovers important clues, and finds his mother who was abducted thousands of miles away.
Director Peng Ke of the Hui City Public Security Bureau was particularly concerned about this case. After receiving the news from Yue Yuan, he immediately slammed the table in excitement: "The old case was reopened, and a woman who had been abducted for 16 years was successfully rescued. This incident can set an example for our bureau." When you come back, write a report quickly, describe the rescue process in detail, and I will report it to my superiors. This year's model pacesetter must be our Municipal Bureau!
After returning, Gong Weiguo and Feng Xiaoyu were asked by Yue Yuan to write a detailed report. By the way, Xia Mufan was given a vacation so that she could accompany her mother well. After all, Xu Shumei's current situation was rather special and she couldn't be away from her mother.
Xia Mufan took his mother to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination.
After examining Xu Shumei's body, the doctor told her that the patient had suffered brain nerve damage, which led to traumatic amnesia, congestion and compression in the brain, and varying degrees of impairment in her language and motor functions. After more than ten years of recuperation, the blood clots in Xu Shumei's brain have dispersed and the damage has improved significantly. After meeting Xia Mufan, Xu Shumei's memory showed signs of recovery under strong stimulation. The doctor suggested that the patient should have more contact with her past living environment and communicate more with her relatives.
So, Xia Mufan took Xu Shumei back to Wupi Village, Xinzhang Town, trying to awaken his mother's memory.
When Xu Shumei's figure appeared at the entrance of the village, the whole village was shocked.
Everyone rushed over and lined the streets to welcome him as if he were a rare treasure.
"Shumei is not dead!"
"Man Yin's family is still alive."
"Fanfan is such an amazing girl..."
More people are condemning Xia Manyin and his mother Zheng Huiju.
"Adults don't have as much conscience as a child."
"Mother Shumei had long been dissatisfied with her for only giving birth to a daughter. She was not sad at all when she saw her disappearance. She was eager to let Manyin find another one to give birth to a son."
"Isn't it? They even spread rumors that she was having an affair with the educated youth. Ugh!"
"Manyin is nothing!"
"After my wife was lost, I was sad for three months. Later, I moved to the city and found a man whose family ran a grocery store. I immediately fell in love with him."
"If it weren't for the police station's rule that a person must be missing for two years before their account can be cancelled, I think he would be eager to find a new wife right away."
"Shumei is so good to him, bringing him lunch every day. If she hadn't brought him lunch, how could she have been kidnapped? Alas! So women, don't be too nice to men, men are all cheap!"
Zheng Huiju's old face flushed with shame when she heard everyone's curses, but with so many eyes staring at her, as the former mother-in-law, she couldn't just stand there without any expression, so she had to lick her face and walk forward to Xia Muchan and said, "Fanfan, you've worked hard. I'm glad that Shumei has been found. Why don't you come to my house and have a seat?"
Xia Mufan was in a good mood now, and didn't care about the old grudges. He took his mother's arm and said with a smile: "Mom, this is our old home. Do you remember? This person is your old mother-in-law. She was very bad. Do you recognize her?"
Zheng Huiju's face twitched and she wanted to scold her out of habit.
But the voices of the villagers next to her made her shut up.
Xu Shumei's mind is still at the level of a child. She used to only recognize Zou Jianzhang, and now she only recognizes Xia Muchan. She becomes anxious if she doesn't see him for a moment.
In her newly emerged fragments of memory, Xia Mufan occupied them all.
Mother and daughter are connected by heart. Although the Xia Mufan in front of her is no longer the lively and lovely girl in her memory, Xu Shumei has already determined that this is my daughter, my Mumu.
Hearing what Xia Mufan said, Xu Shumei leaned towards her.
The thin-faced, mean-looking old woman in front of her made her feel terrified. She shook her head desperately, "I don't recognize her. I don't recognize her."
Xu Shumei's reaction made the villagers feel uncomfortable.
I had only heard before that Xia Mufan had found her mother who had been abducted for many years. But when I saw her today, I found that she looked silly and dazed, completely different from the gentle and virtuous young wife she used to be.
"What a sin! No wonder he hasn't come back for so long. It turns out his brain is broken."
"Shumei used to be so smart. The educated youth loved to talk to her and said she was well-educated."
"Shumei's dishes are always better than others. How could such a nice person... Alas!"
Xia Mufan took his mother and walked slowly towards the old house.
Spring has arrived.
The old camphor tree at the entrance of the village is lush and green, the dandelions on both sides of the loess road are blooming with bright little yellow flowers, plantain and shepherd's purse have sprouted flower spikes, and the rice seedlings in the vast rice fields are green and swaying rhythmically with the breeze.
Wupi Village is a hilly area with rice as the main crop.
The scenery is completely different from that small valley in Province Y.
Xu Shumei has been living in such an environment since she was born, went to school, got married and had children.
Everything before her made some fragments of memory flash through her mind.
Xu Shumei felt her head dizzy and stopped.
Xia Mufan observed her mother's expression and saw that she seemed to recognize the way. She was delighted and said, "Mom, did you remember something?"
Xu Shumei shook her head, her face slightly pale. She raised her head and looked around, and without waiting for Xia Mufan to lead her, she walked straight towards her old house.
Step by step, Xu Shumei accurately found her in-laws' family whom she had married into more than 20 years ago.
The spacious ground floor faces the village path on the south and a vegetable field on the west, surrounded by a bamboo fence with honeysuckle vines entwined on the fence. On the east side stand two locust trees and a chinaberry tree. The white Sophora japonica flowers and the pink-purple neem flowers are in full bloom, filling the air with fragrance.
There is a large bamboo forest on the north side of the ground, and an old house with earthen bricks and black tiles stands quietly under the green. Over time, the paint on the wooden windows peeled off, the walls became mottled, and moss covered the eaves.
This house has appeared in Xu Shumei's dreams countless times.
This house hides the best years of Xu Shumei's life from the age of nineteen to twenty-six.
There have been sweetness and there have been pains.
There were laughter and countless tears.
But no matter what, those were Xu Shumei's past years.
Zheng Huiju came over and stood beside Xu Shumei, smiling flatteringly: "Shumei, come in and sit down. You've been gone for sixteen years, and Manyin and I have been missing you. Well, Manyin said he would be back today, you two should meet him."
Although she invited Xu Shumei to come in and sit down, Zheng Huiju was cursing in her heart.
It’s this heartless and annoying guy who insists on getting the person back! Now that the person is back, what should we do with him? Speaking of which, she is Manyin's first wife and the daughter-in-law of the Xia family. But she disappeared inexplicably at the time, and everyone thought she was dead. Her name was erased from the household registration book, and Manyin remarried and had a pair of children. So where was Xu Shumei's place?
It just so happened that the villagers had been talking about it these past few days, and their saliva was about to drown Zheng Huiju and Xia Manyin. Zheng Huiju had no choice but to do some superficial work.
Xu Shumei did not enter the room. She looked at Zheng Huiju with a blank look in her eyes: "Manyin?"
This name sounds familiar.
But who is he?
Zheng Huiju said: "Yes, my son Xia Manyin is your husband."
After saying this, she sighed, "But you are no longer husband and wife. You ran away for sixteen years, and it's not good for Manyin to stay with you all the time. He later got married, had a son and a daughter, opened a small supermarket in Hui City, and lived a good life. Don't blame Manyin, he had no choice."
Xu Shumei stared blankly at Zheng Huiju's moving mouth, still unable to remember anything.
Xia Mufan whispered in her ear: "Mom, Xia Manyin is my father, but he has his own life now, you don't have to worry about him."
Xu Shumei nodded meekly: "Okay, Mumu."
Xu Shumei's brain isn't very good, but her speech and movements are just a little slow. She can sense whether others are good or evil.
She had lived with Zou Jianzhang for more than ten years. Although she was well taken care of, she always felt that there was a big hole in her heart. From time to time, cold wind blew in, making her whole body cold.
The occasional fragments of memory made Xu Shumei feel extremely close to the little girls in the village. She would subconsciously call out "Mumu" and "Baobao", but her pronunciation was strange, so the villagers thought she was calling out "Momo" and "Baobao" and treated her as a weirdo and a psychopath.
After seeing Xia Mufan and hearing her calling "Mom" and "Mom", Xu Shumei felt that the big hole in her heart was finally filled, and her whole body felt warm.
——This girl who is taller than him, with lively eyes and a stubborn face, is his daughter Mumu who has always haunted him, the baby who always pesters him to tell stories and can understand the talk of cats and dogs.
After confirming that Xia Mufan was her daughter, Xu Shumei showed great cooperation and dependence.
Whatever my daughter says, that’s what it is.
Whoever my daughter likes is a good person.
Whoever my daughter hates is a bad person.
Now hearing Xia Mufan say "Don't worry about him" in a nonchalant tone, Xu Shumei automatically classified Xia Manyin as a "bad guy".
Zheng Huiju was originally worried that Xu Shumei would stay at her house after returning, so she was on high alert. In her opinion, Xu Shumei had been abducted for sixteen years and had been with countless men. Her reputation had long been ruined to the extreme. What else could she do except rely on the Xia family?
But now, Zheng Huiju was a little confused.
Xia Mufan and Xu Shumei don't seem to take this family seriously at all, nor do they take Xia Manyin seriously. Why did they come back?
The onlookers suddenly moved to the sides, creating a passage.
"Manyin is back!"
"Oh, the family of four is back."
"It's going to be exciting."
Xia Mufan held his mother's arm and stood firmly by her side.
Xu Shumei raised her head passively and looked at the middle-aged man who was slowly walking towards her.
Xia Manyin is 42 years old this year. His remarried partner is Huang Shenglan, the only daughter in the family.
After remarrying, Xia Manyin gave birth to a daughter and a son. Her daughter is thirteen years old and her son is eleven years old. She has been living in Hui City to help her father-in-law run the grocery store. She only returns to her hometown to visit her elderly mother during the Chinese New Year.
As he entered middle age, Xia Manyin had begun to gain weight, with a protruding belly and walking with his feet turned outward.
His appearance also changed. His big eyes with crooked corners looked a bit fierce because of the swollen bags under his eyes. As his face became wider, his originally handsome features became greasy. The faintly visible white hair on the temples and the fine wrinkles at the corners of the eyes all bear the marks of life.
Huang Shenglan held Xia Manyin's arm tightly and looked at Xu Shumei with a wary look on her face, as if she was afraid that she would snatch her husband away.
When Xia Manyin met Xu Shumei's gaze, his breathing stopped and he felt an excruciating pain in his chest.
Time has been kind to Xu Shumei, and her appearance has not changed much.
Sixteen years have passed, and her eyes are still as clear as a girl's.
What exactly did she go through?
Did she resent his cruelty?
Huang Shenglan noticed Xia Manyin's change and laughed dryly: "You are Sister Xu, right? I am Manyin's wife."
She even pulled her children over and said, "These are the children of Manyin and I. Our daughter is named Huang Wei and our son is named Huang Yu. Call them auntie."
Zheng Huiju's face twitched again.
Her youngest son married into her family, and her grandson and granddaughter have the surname Huang. This has always been a hidden pain for her.
In order to climb up the social ladder, the son has even abandoned his ancestors. How shameful.
Hearing the two children politely calling her auntie, Xu Shumei looked at Xia Mufan and asked, "Who are they?"
Xia Mufan said unhappily, "It's an irrelevant person." After that, she took her mother and turned away.
This family of four was disgusting to look at. Xia Mufan would get irritated every time he saw them. After going to college, he never saw them again because he was afraid that he would not be able to control the urge to hit them.
Xu Shumei nodded, her eyes passing over Xia Manyin's face as if he was a piece of air.
Xia Manyin's heart ached, she shook off Huang Shenglan's hand, and hurriedly took two steps forward: "Shumei, I'm Manyin, Xia Manyin."
The young couple once enjoyed the romantic and romantic moments together, and were deeply in love with each other. However, this period of time was sealed with the disappearance of Xu Shumei. But now seeing Xu Shumei again, all the good things were awakened, and Xia Manyin realized that the person he loved most was Xu Shumei.
Although the days of remarriage seemed glorious on the surface, Xia Manyin was actually living a very depressed life. Huang Shenglan was overbearing and tyrannical, and she controlled him very strictly. After marrying into the Huang family, he had little freedom at all.
Xia Mufan stood in front of Xu Shumei and looked into his father's eyes.
"My mom has been missing for two years, and you couldn't wait to cancel her account and remarry. Now that my mom has been found, you two are no longer related. She will live with me from now on, and you should never appear in front of her again!"
When facing Xia Mufan, Xia Manyin's momentum immediately became inferior.
He never took much care of his daughter.
Before she was six years old, Xu Shumei treated her like her own precious baby and took her with her wherever she went.
After he was six years old, Xia Manyin left Xia Mufan in the countryside and went to the county town to work. After meeting Huang Shenglan, apart from giving money, he basically did not participate in Xia Mufan's growth.
Xia Manyin couldn't help feeling guilty because he had paid so little.
He didn't care about Xia Mufan's college and work. Now his daughter has become a police officer and found Xu Shumei on her own. How could Xia Manyin dare to confront such a smart and capable daughter?
Xia Manyin dodged his gaze and said hesitantly, "At least, I am your father after all."
Zheng Huiju couldn't stand her granddaughter's dominance and protected her youngest son: "Who taught you to talk to your elders like that? That's your dad! If your dad didn't pay for your tuition and living expenses, would you want to go to college? Ha!"
Xia Mufan clenched his fists.
She had heard such words countless times.
Just because he is her father and the one who gave her money to go to school, she must be grateful.
But this time, before Xia Mufan could fight back, the villagers watching couldn't stand it anymore and started to speak up for her.
"Fanfan's surname is Xia, isn't it normal for Man Yin to pay?"
"If you give birth but don't raise it, aren't you worse than an animal?"
"Manyin abandoned Fanfan in the countryside while he himself lived a comfortable life in the city helping the Huang family raise their children. It's normal for Fanfan to feel resentful."
The scene before me seems familiar.
A picture flashed through Xu Shumei's mind.
She was holding a baby girl, and Zheng Huiju pointed at her nose and scolded: "Little girl, are you still obsessed with it? I tell you, you should give birth to a son as soon as possible, and stop holding this annoying thing all day long."
Xia Manyin squatted under the eaves with her head in her hands, sighing, "Shumei, just let my mother take Fanfan with her, and we'll go to the county to see a doctor. Why can't you get pregnant?"
Several villagers who were sitting in the main room drinking tea were also chatting and persuading Xu Shumei to go to the county for medical treatment.
"It's not like you can't have children, why don't you have another one?"
"If you don't have a son, what will you do when you are old?"
"No matter how good a girl is, she will eventually get married."
Too much information poured in, and Xu Shumei felt like her brain was being pricked by needles. She raised her hand to support her forehead and groaned.
Xia Mufan hurriedly bent down to check his mother's face: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Do you have a headache?"
Xu Shumei didn't say anything, but beads of sweat were oozing from her forehead.
Xia Mufan didn't bother to argue with her father, let alone bicker with her grandmother. She helped her mother sit down aside, waiting anxiously.
The doctor said that returning to the original environment might stimulate memory recovery, but the process would be somewhat painful and would require more patience on the part of the patient.
Zheng Huiju was a little scared when she saw this scene, and tried to shirk responsibility: "You all saw it, I didn't say anything, if anything happened to her it had nothing to do with me."
Xia Manyin was a little worried. She came closer and asked cautiously, "Shumei, what's wrong with you?"
When Xia Mufan saw his flattering face, anger burst out of his chest.
He is always like this!
In the eyes of others, Xia Manyin is a good man. Although he can't make any decisions, he is diligent and honest.
But Xia Mufan knew how hateful he was.
Bad things are always done by others, and he plays the good guy behind the scenes.
The person who scolded Xu Shumei was Zheng Huiju, and he was the good man who silently protected his wife.
Cancel Xu Shumei’s account? That's what the eldest brother said. After all, he can't live without a woman to take care of the household.
It was his current wife's idea to abandon Xia Mufan in the countryside and ignore him. He had no choice after all, the Yue family was too powerful and he had two children to raise at home.
Are you really so cowardly and incompetent that you can't make up your mind?
Not at all!
When he was eight years old, he went to the police station to go through the procedures for canceling his account, but Xia Mufan hugged his thigh and firmly disagreed. He bent down and pried Xia Mufan's hands apart, and left impatiently with the household registration book.
At that moment, Xia Mufan knew that he was not a coward, he was just cold-blooded, selfish and hypocritical.
How can he be a person without ideas?
As long as things are in his favor, he is happy to hide behind others and be an honest person.
Thinking of this, Xia Mufan raised his hand and pushed him: "Get out!"
Xia Manyin stumbled back a few steps after being pushed by her, and looked at Xia Mufan in disbelief: "You, you pushed me?"
Before Xia Mufan could say anything, a sturdy figure strode over and slapped Xia Manyin in the face.
“Bang!”
There was a crisp sound of slap.
Clean and neat.
There was an exclamation from the crowd.
"Oh, it's his brother-in-law from the Xu family."
"Others are not allowed to hit him, but it is only natural for my brother-in-law to hit him."
"That's right. When they came to my house, I was thrown a basin of dirty water. Now it's time for me to lose my temper."
Xia Mufan looked up and saw that the person who beat Xia Manyin was his uncle Xu Jingyi.
Xu Jingyi is three years younger than Xu Shumei, and the two siblings have a very good relationship. After Xu Shumei disappeared, she brought her mother to Zheng Huiju's house to ask for an explanation, but Zheng Huiju slandered her, saying that Xu Shumei had an affair with an educated youth. In the end, Xu's mother died of depression, and the two families severed their relationship.
As a result, the Xu family also became much less interested in Xia Muchan, who looked very similar to Xia Manyin.
Upon receiving the news that his sister had been found, Xu Jingyi, who had settled in another place, rushed back quickly. As soon as he came, he couldn't suppress his anger and slapped Xia Manyin. After beating the man, he quickly came to Xu Shumei, looked down at her with her hand on her forehead and a painful expression, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Big sister~"
Xu Shumei slowly raised her head and looked at Xu Jingyi blankly.
Too many familiar faces flashed before her eyes, and more and more fragments of memory flashed through Xu Shumei's mind, gradually gathering into one point, and finally exploding with a bang.
In an instant, my past life fast-forwarded in my mind.
Xu Shumei's eyes changed from confusion to clarity.
The painful expression turned into calm.
The uncontrollable trembling also stopped.
So... this is what her life is like.
Children of poor families have to grow up early. As the eldest in the family, she learned all kinds of farm work and housework early on, helped her parents raise her two younger brothers, and married Xia Manyin at the age of 19.
She gave birth to a daughter at the age of 20, but suffered heavy bleeding during childbirth, which damaged her body, and she has never been pregnant since then. The mother-in-law is cold and sarcastic, the husband is taciturn, and the sisters-in-law are sarcastic and mocking.
In order to prevent her daughter from getting hurt, she worked hard to balance various relationships, preparing three meals a day and delivering lunch, rushing to do farm work and housework, and taking her daughter with her wherever she went.
When she was 26 years old, she encountered the biggest hurdle in her life. Yao Yanfei caused her to fall and suffer a head injury, causing her to lose her memory. Then she was picked up by Zou Jianzhang, who became his wife and came to live in a small mountain valley in Y Province.
During the sixteen years of confusion, she was called a lunatic and a psychopath, and she didn't know what the future held.
a long time.
Xu Shumei stood up, looked at Xu Jingyi, and smiled slightly: "Jingyi, you are here."
Xu Jingyi didn't know about his sister's amnesia yet, his eyes turned red and he almost cried: "Sister, you are finally back!"
The villagers' discussions entered Xu Shumei's ears one by one.
"Shumei is also pitiful. Now she has no place to stay after returning."
"Xia Manyin is such a heartless person. She married and had a child, but she didn't even want Fanfan. How could she care about Shumei's life or death?"
"Don't look at the Xu family's aggressive attitude. In fact, they all have their own families and it's impossible for them to control Shumei."
"I can't help it. It's fate."
Xu Shumei turned her gaze to Xia Manyin.
Also standing beside him were Huang Shenglan and her two children.
She once cared about this person and loved him, but now, thinking of the villagers' comments just now, she just felt disheartened.
Xia Manyin was stung by the coldness in Xu Shumei's eyes, and shouted unwillingly: "Shumei, I have no choice. I am a man, and I can't always stay by your side. You can understand that, right?"
In Xia Manyin's impression, Xu Shumei was good in every way except for the shortcoming of not giving birth to a son. She was especially gentle and considerate to him and took care of him in every possible way. That was the happiest time in his life. What a pity... Alas!
Xu Shumei didn't say anything, but turned to look at Xia Mufan, her eyes full of love and pity.
This is her child, the treasure she carried for ten months and she is reluctant to give up wherever she goes.
It is also this baby who persistently searches for her and tries to wake her up.
Who said she had a hard life?
Life is worth it with a daughter like this.
After sixteen years of separation, the delicate little girl who was only waist-high has grown into a graceful young lady.
When her mother was not around, her grandmother was not kind, and her father did not love her, the daughter must have suffered a lot, right?
Xu Shumei felt a pang in her heart, and she stretched out her arms and hugged Xia Mufan tightly: "Mumu, mom is back, back."
Being hugged tightly by his mother, with the warm touch and sunny breath lingering around him, Xia Mufan felt like he was in a dream for a moment.
——My mother is really back.
