Chapter 55
However, given the temper of the Wang family, it is absolutely impossible for them to raise a child for someone else. Even if it is for entrusting an orphan to someone else, it is estimated that they would have betrayed their trust and abandoned the child long ago.
But their attitude towards Wang Qinghe doesn't look like that of a son, but more like that of an enemy.
Mrs. Feng's words made her suspicious again.
This old lady doesn't like the Wang family. If you ask her carefully, you might find out something.
Bai Xiu Xiu led a child in each hand and walked towards the foot of the mountain where the old lady of the Feng family usually went.
Compared to Yueyue's doubts, Mingming was more excited, as this looked like the way up the mountain.
Mom wants to take him and his sister to the mountains to play?
They soon arrived at the foot of the mountain, and Bai Xiu Xiu found a tree stump to sit down. Old Mrs. Feng didn't like to interact with people, so she always chose places like this where there were few people at the foot of the mountain to dig wild vegetables.
She knew this because she had met the old lady twice in her previous life.
"Mingming, Yueyue, you two just play here and are not allowed to go into the mountains." Bai Xiu Xiu pointed to the open space in front of her.
When the two children heard that they couldn't go up the mountain, they felt a little disappointed.
But they were used to being obedient and played drawing in front of Bai Xiu Xiu obediently.
Bai Xiu Xiu didn't have to wait here for long before Old Lady Feng came over here carrying a small basket. When she saw someone here, she turned around and wanted to leave.
Bai Xiuxiu quickly stopped the person and said, "Auntie Feng, wait a minute!"
"Are you the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family?" Old Mrs. Feng looked at Bai Xiu Xiu and was very surprised!
She and the Wang family are not on good terms, so why did the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family come here to block her?
"Well, I came here specially to wait for you. I saw you always come here before, so I kept it in mind, thinking I could try my luck."
Bai Xiu Xiu said this as she helped her walk over here.
"Xiu Xiu, what do you want to tell me?" Old Lady Feng followed Bai Xiu Xiu to the foot of the mountain. Seeing Bai Xiu Xiu taking the two children with her, she nodded and said, "These are your Ming Ming and Yue Yue, right? It's better to bring them with you when you go out, it's better to bring them with you..."
Bai Xiuxiu helped Old Lady Feng to the tree stump where she had just sat and asked her to sit down.
Her eyes fell on her two children, and she sighed in pretended helplessness: "I can't help it. My mother-in-law doesn't like my husband, nor does she like me. She usually treats my two children like kittens and puppies. If I leave these two children at home, maybe I will go out in the morning and the two children will be gone in the evening."
Bai Xiu Xiu spoke pitifully, wondering how to get anything out of the old lady.
Old Madam Feng was shocked: "Zhao Guifen wouldn't be that cruel, right?"
Hearing this, Bai Xiuxiu thought about all the grievances in her life and her eyes turned red. "I'm not afraid of your laughing at me, nor am I unfilial. I gossip about her outside because she is really capable of it!
When I first got married, I was in good health, but now I get sick when I go to work in the fields.
Even Uncle Zhang said that I would not be able to work in the future. "
"Xiu Xiu, how can I help you?" Old Mrs. Feng felt pitiful and felt that she had nothing to do with Bai Xiu Xiu. This child suddenly came to her. Maybe she wanted to ask her for something?
"Auntie Feng, every time my mother-in-law is partial to me and bullies my husband, you are always willing to come out and say a few good words for us. Yesterday you talked about what happened back then... I saw that she was very scared. I want to know what happened back then?" Bai Xiu Xiu stared at the old lady and asked her.
When Mrs. Feng heard this, her face changed and her eyes became a little flustered: "What happened in the past? Did you hear it wrong, kid?"
"How could that be? Aunt Feng, you look like a righteous person and you have spoken up for my husband and me a lot. My mother-in-law's attitude towards my husband over the years is so bad that even if she adopted him, she wouldn't treat him like this, let alone his biological son.
You don’t know... Yesterday my husband didn’t bring back any prey, so my parents-in-law forced him to go to the mountains to hunt for some large wild animals.
He is alone, don't you think this will cost him his life?
I am not in good health, if anything happens to him, I will die. My two children...
Aunt Feng, I won't beat around the bush with you. In fact, I have always wondered, is my husband really my mother-in-law's biological son? My husband is an honest man. He has been treated like a donkey by this family for many years just because we are a family.
When I heard what you said yesterday, I was wondering if it was about this matter.
If he is really his biological son, then we accept it. If not, if you know anything, tell me, it will save our lives. "
Bai Xiu Xiu had tears in her eyes as she thought about her biological mother whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and she acted very seriously.
"How can they be so cruel?" Old Mrs. Feng couldn't help but curse. She looked at Bai Xiu Xiu's aggrieved expression, and then at the two children.
He sighed heavily, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I don't know the situation either. I only know that after your mother-in-law married your father-in-law, there was no movement for several years after the marriage. At that time, the world was in turmoil, and many people in our village fled, and your parents-in-law also left the village.
But they were gone for more than five months and then came back.
When she came back, she was holding a child.
Everyone in the village was very surprised. Your mother-in-law said that she was pregnant when she was fleeing.
My stomach was swollen from hunger, but I couldn't see it.
Later, the baby was born prematurely. "
Bai Xiu Xiu frowned as she listened.
If that's the case, then the possibility is fifty-fifty?
"After your parents-in-law returned from fleeing, they suddenly had money and built this house. But at the end of that year, they gave birth to their second child. It was so strange that the two children followed one another, and they were often laughed at in the village." Old Lady Feng looked at Bai Xiu Xiu and continued, "But I think they are very strange.
Others are too far away to know, I live next door to you.
Ever since the two children were young, your mother-in-law has treated the second child better.
One year, the eldest son of the Wang family, your husband, was about eight years old. He caught a rabbit. Wang Laoer cried and shouted for it, but your husband was stubborn and refused to give it to him.
Your mother-in-law came out of the house, beat your husband without asking any questions, and then gave the rabbit to Wang Laoer.
He also said: You bastard who came to our house to eat a free meal.
I happened to be passing by at the time and heard this. When your mother-in-law saw me, her face changed.
When Mrs. Feng said this, she couldn't help but get angry.
When Bai Xiu Xiu heard this, she felt that this should be the case.
"Your mother-in-law and I are from the provincial capital, but it's been so many years since we've been together, and it's been hard to find our way back. Also, I don't know if what your mother-in-law said is true or not, so you can't take it seriously.
I can't stand your mother-in-law bullying you these past few years, so I pointed a few words at her.
I thought about how scared she was at that time. If the child was really not her biological child, she would feel more guilty.
There is more to it, I really don’t know.”
Old Mrs. Feng told everything she knew.
provincial capital?
Speaking of the provincial capital, Bai Xiuxiu frowned, and she remembered something.
