Tang Yiren looked at Tang Chunxiao's reaction and couldn't help but burst into tears, her voice choked with sobs and filled with heartache and regret.
"You knew it a long time ago, didn't you? You knew... why didn't you tell me? You even used your lifespan to exchange for my recovery... why are you so stupid?"
It is clearly her as the mother who owes her.
If possible, she would rather die than let her children shorten their lives to save her.
Her child is still so young...
Tang Chunxiao couldn't help but tear up when he heard the pity and regret in Tang Yiren's voice.
After a while, he lowered his head, shook his head again, and spoke in a slightly lower voice.
"I... didn't save you just because I'm your child."
It was only after she saved the teacher that she found out that she was actually the teacher's child.
Tang Chunxiao's words were abrupt, and not only did Tang Yiren not understand, but everyone present, including Jiang Xuxu, was also a little confused.
"What do you mean by that?"
Although they didn't understand why Tang Chunxiao didn't recognize Tang Yiren, since she used the life-sustaining technique that can only be used between blood relatives, everyone assumed that she knew about their mother-daughter relationship, so she was willing to sacrifice her life to save her.
Tang Yiren also thought so.
Tang Chunxiao knew that she had misunderstood and couldn't help but look up at her. Rather than a child's attachment to his mother, his eyes looked more like he was facing an elder whom he deeply loved.
It was just because these two identities overlapped that her feelings towards her became more complicated.
"At first, I just wanted to repay you... If it wasn't for the teacher who took me out of that mountain, I might have... died a long time ago."
Tang Chunxiao, whose real name is Tang Chuncao.
From a child's name, you can actually tell how much her parents care about her.
Her name was given by her parents at random, just like the weeds that grow all over the mountains in spring, inconspicuous.
She was originally bought by the couple to have children.
There is a saying among rural people that if a woman cannot get pregnant, it may be that she is not destined to have a child, and she needs to bring a child home first, and this child will help the parents to have their own child.
This was the only purpose for which Tang Chuncao was bought.
Just as the adoptive parents wished, in the third year after Tang Chuncao came to this family, they successfully gave birth to a son.
This should have been a perfect "collaboration".
But people often forget their "origins". The couple originally wanted a child of their own so they adopted Tang Chuncao. However, after achieving their goal, they began to dislike this extra child as an eyesore.
So Tang Chuncao became an unnecessary child in the family.
Her adoptive parents began to speak harshly to her and made the little girl do all kinds of housework.
Washing diapers for my brother, washing dishes, feeding chickens and pigs, taking care of children...
Tang Chuncao has lived a hard life like this since childhood.
At that time, she didn't know that she was not her biological child, and just thought that her parents favored boys over girls.
This kind of thing is very common in the village. Tang Chuncao knows it, but she still feels sad. She doesn't know where her future lies.
The only way she could think of to change the current situation was to study.
So she has always studied very hard.
After she finished elementary school, her adoptive parents did not want her to continue studying because they could not afford to support two children in school.
In such a remote mountain village, it is difficult to implement nine-year compulsory education. Tang Chuncao wanted to continue going to school, but she knew that simply asking them to pity her was useless, so she gave another reason that they could not refuse.
Only if she continues to study can she continue to tutor her brother and help him get into college.
The adoptive parents valued their only son very much and had high expectations for him. I heard that the plan was to allow their son to go to college, and considering his terrible academic performance, the couple agreed.
Tang Chuncao successfully entered junior high school on the condition that she would tutor her younger brother.
But I only attended for one year.
Because their son's academic performance showed no improvement, the couple didn't want to waste time and wanted Tang Chuncao to drop out of school and work to support his younger brother.
That was Tang Chuncao's first fierce resistance.
Because of that rebellion, she met the most important person in her life.
Tang Yiren.
She said her eyes were like her daughter's, and she also wanted to have a mother as beautiful and graceful as her. But she didn't dare to hope for that.
Teacher Tang offered to sponsor her schooling and personally handed the first installment of tuition to her adoptive parents.
Then she left.
But she didn't know that Tang Chuncao still couldn't go to school.
Tang Chuncao was sent by his parents to work in a factory owned by a relative.
Her adoptive parents told her that Tang Yiren had broken her promise and stopped providing financial support. In fact, all the tuition and living expenses that Tang Yiren sent to her were withheld by her adoptive parents and used directly on their son.
Tang Chuncao didn't know about this until half a year later. She went through a lot of trouble to write the truth in a letter to tell Tang Yiren.
Her original intention was to ask Tang Yiren to stop supporting her. After all, the money would not be useful to her, so why waste it.
Furthermore, the money that Tang Yiren had previously remitted was used for other children. After being deceived like this, the other party would definitely be angry and cut off ties with a family like theirs.
What Tang Chuncao never expected was that after receiving the letter, Tang Yiren came to the village in person again, and brought a cadre from the Education Bureau with her. They found the village chief and forced her adoptive parents to take her back from the factory and send her to the original junior high school in the county.
Tang Yiren also said that future fees would be directly transferred to the school's account through the local education bureau, and living expenses would also be transferred through the school. If she found someone secretly misappropriating the scholarship that should have belonged to Tang Chuncao, she would directly sue the court.
