Chapter 16 Memories



The maid didn't know whether what Xu Xinduo said was true or not, but the news she heard from others showed that some individual insane asylums might really be like this.

So she began to be frightened and entered a state of madness. She started to scream uncontrollably and pounced on Mu Qingyao in an even more tragic manner, like a mad dog.

She began to call Mu Qingyao's name: "Yaoyao, I am your relative, your closest relative, and your mother. Can I ask your mother to come over and kneel down for you? Yaoyao, save grandma, don't let them do this, okay?"

Mu Qingyao was able to push the maid away at first, but now she couldn't push her away at all.

After all, she was brought up in a pampered environment and did not have the strength of a maid, so she could not break free at all.

Mu Qingyao was so scared that she wanted to ask Mu Qingyi for help, but Mu Qingyi ignored her.

All the servants in the house were kicked out, and they were the only ones left at home. One of the Mu family's parents was sitting on a single sofa watching, while the other seemed not to want to watch this scene. He frequently appeared at the stairs but refused to come down.

Mu Qingyao collapsed and yelled, "Don't touch me, go away, I'm not your relative."

"Yes! I watched you grow up, Yaoyao! Without me, how could you have such a glorious sixteen years? You would only grow up in the village, and you might not even be able to afford to go to school. It was me who changed your destiny. I did it all for you. You can't just ignore me!"

Xu Xinduo narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.

The maid knew this would be her fate, yet still sent her to the countryside. How could such a person not just die?

"No, I'm not, my last name is Mu!" Mu Qingyao denied it desperately and tried her best to push the maid away.

"You can disown us, and you can continue to stay in the Mu family and enjoy wealth, but can't you help beg for mercy? I have brought you such a great benefit, and you treat me like this? You are so heartless and ungrateful!" The maid finally began to get angry, and she was also disheartened with this ungrateful granddaughter.

Father Mu seemed unable to bear it any longer and wanted to control the maid, but was stopped by Mu Qingyi: "Dad, this is their family affair, we just need to wait for them to discuss the results."

Seeing Mu Qingyi's cold expression and the words he said, Mu Qingyao panicked for a moment and said in a panic: "Dad! Brother! Help me, kick her out!"

Mu Qingyao's action completely angered the maid. She suddenly smiled grimly and pulled Mu Qingyao's pants tightly. Mu Qingyao dragged her to the ground and moved her body: "Kick me out? I'm like this because of you! You should go to the countryside to suffer! Just like her, she was raised by her grandmother with porridge, and now she will have stomach upset if she doesn't eat the right food, and she will get sick all the time! When she gets old, she will definitely be sick all over!"

When the maid spoke, she glanced at Xu Xinduo. There was no guilt in her eyes, but twisted emotions.

Mu's mother was originally in the stairwell. It was the first time she heard of such a thing, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

She covered her mouth, squatted in the stairwell and looked down through the gap in the handrail. Thinking of the grievances suffered by her own daughter, she suddenly felt very distressed.

During those years in the countryside, Xu Xinduo must have suffered a lot, right?

Fortunately, she is Xu Xinduo's biological mother.

"No way..." Mu Qingyao still didn't want to admit it.

The maid continued to yell at Mu Qingyao at the top of her lungs: "You stayed here because the Mu family is rich and can give you the life you want. Do you really have such a deep affection for your parents? Not necessarily. If your biological parents were richer, you would have gone there without hesitation, right?"

"No way! You're talking nonsense!"

"You hate me and your own grandmother only because we will become a burden to you!"

Mu Qingyi rolled his eyes, then sighed, rubbed his ears, and said, "It's too noisy. I'm tired of listening to it."

The Mu family seemed to think highly of this young master. After he spoke, they all quieted down. The maid looked at Mu Qingyi and began to plead with him, crawling over again: "Young master, can you please let me go? I have been very good to you over the years, have you forgotten?"

Mu Qing also kicked the maid away: "Actually, I was waiting. If you had come over to apologize to the victim, I might have been more lenient. But the two of you didn't feel any guilt the whole time. You were just arguing about some weird things."

The victim Xu Xinduo turned her head to look at Mu Qingyi, but Mu Qingyi didn't look at her. Instead, he kept looking at Mu Qingyao and the maid.

She didn't say anything, waiting to see how Mu Qingyi would handle it, and then she saw Mu Qingyi looking down at his phone, typing at the same time: "I'll arrange for a mental hospital. The environment isn't very good, but it's suitable for you, don't worry."

Don't worry, I won't let you have an easy time.

After Mu Qingyi finished making the arrangements, someone came in and took the maid away. The maid screamed like a pig being slaughtered the whole time she was being dragged out. It was creepy to hear. She seemed to finally think of apologizing to Xu Xinduo, but it was too late.

Mu Qingyao watched the maid being taken away, with panic still on her face. Then she looked at Mu Qingyi with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful.

Mu Qingyi looked at Mu Qingyao and said, "You are my sister after all. I won't make it difficult for you. You can continue to occupy the magpie's nest and stay in the Mu family. Your parents can't bear to let you go, and they have to marry you to the Shen family. You have enjoyed all that the Mu family has brought, but you also have to make some sacrifices. Being Shen Zhuhang's fiancée is your mission. But you have to control him well and don't use him to make trouble. It's very low-level and ridiculous, like a circus."

Mu Qingyao could no longer hold on and sat down on the floor dejectedly.

She knew that her brother was not stupid and could see through her little tricks.

The only use she has in the Mu family now is to consolidate the relationship with the Shen family and marry Shen Zhuhang. Something that I was originally willing to do, unexpectedly had a hint of passivity.

Xu Xinduo finished watching the show and felt that it was enough, so she stood up and walked upstairs.

Mu Qingyi did not stop her and watched her go upstairs. When she passed by Mu's mother, Mu's mother grabbed her wrist and asked, "Are you not feeling well? Can I take you to the hospital?"

Xu Xinduo paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it. Go and comfort your daughter. She seems scared. I'll go back and rest."

After hearing Xu Xinduo's words, Mu's mother's fingers trembled, and under Xu Xinduo's cold gaze, she let go of Xu Xinduo's wrist.

Xu Xinduo said go and comfort your daughter.

So in Xu Xinduo's heart, she is not considered their daughter?

Xu Xinduo said that she was indeed a little disappointed with her biological parents...

At this time, Father Mu suddenly stopped Xu Xinduo downstairs: "We have dealt with the people who hurt you, and you don't have to put on that stinky face anymore. I have told you the truth many times. We made this decision after weighing the pros and cons. Yaoyao's identity cannot be changed! Don't be so ungrateful. You are not sensible at all and can't understand the difficulties of adults."

Xu Xinduo pursed her thin lips.

This was her fault.

Xu Xinduo replied: "It doesn't matter."

After saying that, he went straight upstairs and returned to his room.

Father Mu was really angry because the daughter he raised was not his biological daughter. Her own children always had a stern face and acted superior, as if they owed her eight million.

If her true identity is revealed and the Mu family's business collapses, this biological daughter will be happy, right? !

So ignorant!

After all, since they were not raised by themselves, they just don’t know how to be considerate of their parents.

Father Mu was so angry that he complained to Mu Qingyi: "Look at her attitude? Ah? I think I have done well enough. If a family encounters such a thing, they will be in a mess. Am I not good to her? Look at what she is wearing, the phone in her hand, and the pocket money in her account. Which one is not given to her by me? Why doesn't she know how to be satisfied? What else does she want from me? Make me cry and kneel down for her?!"

Father Mu has always been a male chauvinist, usually busy with career matters. After Xu Xinduo came home, Father Mu has been coming home more often.

In Father Mu’s opinion, this is already his greatest concern. What’s going on with this daughter?

He has been good enough to her!

Mu Qingyi frowned slightly at his father, but in the end he said nothing and followed him upstairs: "I'm going to read a book."

Seeing her two biological children leave with such an attitude, Mu's mother immediately said to Mu's father, "Say less."

Father Mu looked at Mu Qingyao and said, "Yaoyao, get up. Don't care what they say. You are still my father's daughter. I will treat you well. Were you scared just now?"

Mu Qingyao immediately threw herself into her father's arms and cried, "Dad!"

What follows is a story of deep love between father and daughter.

Sunday night.

Xu Xinduo got up in the night, held on to the cabinet and walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out the painkillers with shaking hands.

There was no water cup for her in the room, so she had to go downstairs to drink water, but the pain in her lower abdomen prevented her from making it downstairs.

She could only swallow the medicine directly and pounded her chest before swallowing it.

The Mu family provided her with a place to live, but there was no cup of her own. She used the cup used by guests, and there was no water dispenser in the room.

She kept waiting, waiting for her so-called family to notice and buy it for her.

Only at this moment did she realize that she was really naive. What was she expecting? She might as well buy it herself.

How hypocritical, it's just a cup.

She didn't want to move anymore and could only lie on the desk to relax. The medicine hasn't taken effect yet and I'm already having unbearable abdominal pain.

This time she was distracted by the affairs of the Mu family. Otherwise, she would usually take painkillers in advance after she had symptoms of menstruation and was sure that her period was about to come.

She has a cold body and severe dysmenorrhea.

The condition was so serious that she always felt lucky to be alive during those few days. This was probably due to the fact that she was not well fed and clothed in her early years.

Grandma Xu is a single woman with little ability to do, so naturally her income is almost non-existent. Their family often doesn't even have money to buy coal. All the money in the family was saved to pay Xu Xinduo's tuition. This was the only thing Grandma Xu insisted on. She didn't want Xu Xinduo to be illiterate.

The winter in Northeast China is very cold, so Grandma Xu took Xu Xinduo to the mountain to pick up some tree branches. One was old, the other young, and neither had the strength to cut down thick trees. They could only cut thin branches, and sometimes they had to shovel snow. After getting firewood, Grandma Xu would burn a stove before going to bed, and it would become cold in the second half of the night.

Grandma Xu would sometimes get up in the middle of the night to light the stove again, but later her body couldn’t hold on any longer and she only did it once before going to bed.

Xu Xinduo often lay in the quilt and shivered.

She had frostbite on her feet, which has improved over the years, but it always recurs from time to time.

Symptoms of recurrence are severe itching, which can be aggravated by sudden warmth, and may even cause blistering and redness.

Tong Yan once asked Xu Xinduo if he had athlete's foot, but Xu Xinduo just smiled and didn't answer. When he was older and more sensible, Tong Yan never mentioned this matter again and just took care of him silently.

She lay on the table to relax for a while, and suddenly someone knocked on the door quietly.

She looked at the door and didn't want to move. The man didn't stop and said, "I left my things at the door."

After saying that, he left.

It was Mu Qingyi's voice.

Xu Xinduo's stomach felt better and she no longer felt the cramps. She then stood up, holding onto the wall. I opened the door and saw a box at the door.

A desktop water purifier and a set of cups.

She squatted down, holding onto the door frame, stared at the box in a daze, then leaned over to look outside. There was no one else outside, and Mu Qingyi had gone back long ago.

She took the things back to her room, locked the door, put the things aside, and lay down on the bed.

I took out my cell phone and saw a message from Tong Yan: Put the painkillers on the bedside, you will have your period in the next two days.

She typed back: Already here.

Tong Yan: Does it hurt? Shall we switch?

Xu Xinduo: I took my medicine and am ready to go to bed.

Tong Yan: Well, go to bed early. If you really can’t make it, take a day off tomorrow.

She didn't reply to the message and tried to put her phone on the bedside table, but it fell on the side of the bed.

She was too lazy to care, so she buried herself in the quilt and went to sleep.

Tong Yan bought this painkiller for Xu Xinduo, saying that it is non-addictive, but it is somewhat irritating to the stomach and intestines. If Xu Xinduo was prepared in the past, she would eat something in advance. Today, the pain was really severe, and she probably wouldn't feel better tomorrow.

Tong Yan and Xu Xinduo have been very careful over the years. Tong Yan would secretly help Xu Xinduo and mail some things to Xu Xinduo, but they couldn't let Grandma Xu find out, so most of them were small items like painkillers.

After Xu Xinduo arrived at the Mu family, Tong Yan bought things for Xu Xinduo generously, and prepared a small box of painkillers and other items.

Others had a lot of luggage when moving, but Xu Xinduo came with the sanitary napkins that Tong Yan bought for her.

Each of her menstrual periods would last for five to seven days, which meant she would be in pain for that many days. The flow was heavy, the duration was long, and it was not very stable. Sanitary napkins were a must-have item for Xu Xinduo on a daily basis.

Xu Xinduo got up very early in the morning. When she was in the countryside, she would get up and make breakfast for Grandma Xu before going to school. This was her routine and she never changed it.

After she finished washing up, she squatted down to study the water purifier. After installing it, she filled it with water, pressed the button and watched the warm water flow out. She filled a cup for herself and drank the warm water to feel warm.

Although she took painkillers, she still had symptoms of back pain, mild headache, depression, and occasional vomiting and diarrhea, but the number of times was very rare.

The pain in her waist is enough to make her feel uncomfortable.

She went downstairs listlessly and entered the restaurant. Mu Qingyao and Mu Qingyi were both there. She sat down and whispered, "Thank you."

"No need." Mu Qingyi replied.

Mu Qingyao looked up at the two of them, said nothing, and continued drinking her porridge.

Mu Qingyi spoke again: "My family has arranged a dedicated driver for you, and has also bought a car."

As he spoke, he gave Xu Xinduo a business card. Xinduo took a look and found it was the business card of her exclusive driver.

She walked out of the house with her bag on her back, and couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she saw the car parked at the gate of the yard.

The cars their families gave them were all Cayennes. Mu Qingyao's was white, Mu Qingyi's was silver-gray, and her car was actually pink.

She didn't care, but she didn't know how Tong Yan would feel when he saw this car.

After getting in the car, Xu Xinduo saw her exclusive driver, a female driver, who turned around and greeted Xu Xinduo: "Hello, my name is Deyu, De for morality, and Yu for rain, but they all call me De De, which means German. You can call me whatever you want, it doesn't matter."

After Xu Xinduo sat down, he greeted her and asked, "You are my exclusive driver. Do you have anything else to do on weekdays?"

"No, I'm just here for you whenever you call. I don't have a holiday for a month. Just call me when you go out. But this job is not busy. I won't have any work after you go to school."

You can tell at first glance that Deyu grew up in the Northeast. He speaks in a carefree manner with a strong flavor of corn grits in his mouth.

Xu Xinduo actually liked this character. She nodded and wondered in her heart whether she should let Deyu be a private car driver when he had nothing to do. This way she can still make some money, which she can then share with Deyu in proportion.

But she just thought about it and would not mention it when she was not familiar with Deyu.

She was sitting in the car when she received a message from Tong Yan: [Picture]

Tong Yan: I was so angry that my head hurt. I wanted to go to Class 2 and beat him up.

Xu Xinduo clicked on the screenshot and saw that it was a post from Zhen Longtao.

The author (Zhen Longtao): I am Zhen Longtao. I would like to formally apologize to Xu Xinduo for the previous bet and formally confess my love to her. I really like her and want to start pursuing her officially, not because of the bet. Even if my opponent is Tong Yan, I will try my best.

This is the end of the post.

It's full of second-year ideas and complaints.

Xu Xinduo: He changed his tactics again?

Tong Yan: I don’t know. He is at the door of our class now. He said he is waiting for you to come and apologize to you in person. I want to throw him from the third floor into the hall.

Tong Yan: Friendly reminder, there will be a lot of onlookers, so be mentally prepared before coming.

Xu Xinduo: I’m in a bad mood because my period has come. Can you persuade him? Let him leave himself a way out.
