Only then did Hou's mother agree. It was not that she was eyeing the money at the end. In her opinion, those were things that could not be obtained. Even if the person really ran away, they would not lose anything. A money-losing item could be exchanged for 600,000, which was more than enough.
It’s just a pity that Hou Xianglan was not found.
Besides, if Hou Xiangqin doesn't come back, no one in the village will know that she sold her daughter for money, which will give her a much better reputation than marrying her daughter to a fool.
But she felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would have asked her nephew to say more. Maybe this girl had more money, but just didn't want to spend it.
With Hou's mother's greedy personality, she would never let money pass by without getting a share of it, so in the end, all the money on Hou Xiangqin ended up in Hou's mother's pocket.
Even the 100,000 yuan that she deliberately omitted was taken away.
After confirming that they could not dig out anything more, the Hou family finally let Hou Xiangqin go.
Hou Xiangqin never imagined that after all her planning, she would lose her sister and her money, leaving her alone with a burden.
She had very little money on her, but she didn't dare go south at all, so she could only go north quietly.
She had suffered so much along the way that she had thought of abandoning the child several times, but she didn't dare to do it.
It's not that she didn't throw the child away. She happened to be caught by someone when she was about to do so. The person said that if she dared to abandon the child, he would send her to the police station.
Hou Xiangqin was scared and had to take her child with her.
It wasn't until one day when she arrived in Stone Town and the money she had was no longer enough to support her to move forward that she began to think about settling down there.
So, through an introduction, she married Chen Baozhu, whose wife had run away with someone.
She brought Wei Mian, and Chen Baozhu brought their son Chen Jun. Later, she gave birth to twin boys and girls, Chen Baoer and Chen Cai.
This is truly her own child. Raising twins is a completely different feeling from raising Wei Mian.
However, when Chen Cai was six years old, he drowned while playing in the river with others, leaving behind only Chen Baoer, who was even more precious to the emperor like his own sweetheart.
This also led to Wei Mian suffering countless injustices during his growth, because most people cannot treat their biological children and adopted children equally.
Wei Mian did not blame Chen Baozhu for this. He felt it was good enough that he could provide food for his adopted daughter and raise her.
As for Hou Xiangqin, Wei Mian really didn't know what to say after he knew her relationship with the original owner.
She already had a mother, but you sold her. You couldn't keep the money and ended up like a bastard. Later, you even abused her daughter.
Something happened when Wei Mian first came to this world. She was weak at the time and it took her several days to regain some strength.
But her temperament as this thousand-year-old antique is naturally different from that of the original little girl, and her arrival has brought new life to this body, making it inexplicably more beautiful.
It was also at that time that Chen Jun began to have special feelings for his stepsister whom he had always ignored, and Chen Baozhu actually acquiesced.
This also made Wei Mian write off all the kindness she had shown to the original owner in raising her.
If Wei Mian had not been weak at the time, the father and son would probably not have had a good ending. She did not go back to take action later, as if she was repaying the original owner's kindness.
At that time, her strength was not enough to protect herself, and the original girl's only obsession was to go to school. Since Wei Mian occupied her body, he had to help achieve this not-so-difficult goal.
But if she stayed in the Chen family, she would never have the chance to go to school. Breaking off ties and coming to Qingping was the best choice.
After Wei Jingxing finished speaking, he looked at Wei Mian with a distressed expression, afraid that it would bring back some unpleasant memories for her.
Wei Mian smiled slightly, not seeming to care much.
"What about Hou Xianglan?"
Since Wei Jingxing already knew that she had been sold, did he know where she was sold to? Had he tried to find her?
When talking about this woman, Wei Jingxing lowered his eyes and said nothing. This was the only woman who had given birth to his child.
So he had complicated feelings towards Hou Xianglan. He always felt that the girl looked very smart on the surface, but she always did some tricky things at critical moments.
In the end, he didn't know whether to sigh that he was smart or stupid. It was probably what they said, that he looked very cunning on the surface, but was actually very stupid.
The fact that they broke up, and the fact that he took his child with him but insisted on taking his vicious sister with him, all these things made Wei Jingxing speechless.
But since she is Wei Mian's biological mother, Wei Jingxing cannot bear to see her suffer.
The reason why it took so long was because we were dealing with things over there.
"My people found her, but—"
Wei Jingxing moved his lips. He originally wanted to hide it, but then he thought that his daughter was grown up now, so he should let her know, so he continued.
"But she's gone."
"Just this spring, I heard she died of metrorrhagia following a miscarriage. That place is too remote and there's no good medical care. The local clinic tried to treat her, but they couldn't save her."
Shan Ye is very good at finding people, and he managed to find Hou Xianglan's whereabouts.
Back then, Hou Xianglan was sold to the mountains. The family that bought her consisted of three brothers. They mainly made a living by collecting and growing herbs in the mountains, and their conditions were not bad.
The main reason they couldn't find wives was because these three men were ugly. Later, as they got older, no one was willing to marry their daughter to them no matter how high the bride price was.
So he started thinking about buying a wife.
That’s right, just buy one, buy one.
Brothers share a wife.
Wei Jingxing felt that he had only heard of such things in ancient times, but he didn't know that such a phenomenon still existed in today's society.
Hou Xianglan was sold to that family and became the wife of three old bachelors.
In the nearly twenty years that followed, Hou Xiangqin gave birth to five children for the three brothers, and suffered countless miscarriages.
Although the three brothers' family deals in medicinal herbs, they have only a superficial understanding of medical knowledge. In addition, there is a lack of doctors and medicine in the mountains, and because of her special identity, no one dares to take her out to see a doctor.
The signal in the mountains is sometimes spotty, and the three brothers have nothing to do at night, so they basically don't let her sit idle, even during her period.
Over the years, Hou Xianglan suffered from a lot of gynecological diseases and had no chance to recuperate.
Wasn't it a relief for her to be able to live for so many years before dying?
As for the five children she gave birth to, Wei Jingxing had also seen their photos. Three of the boys looked exactly like their father and were destined to be bachelors in the future.
The two girls are relatively pretty, but they are definitely not comparable to Hou Xianglan herself.
Shan Ye thought that the woman did not stay in the mountains voluntarily, so since she was gone, he might as well take the child with him.
But they didn't want to leave at all, and kept saying that Hou Xianglan deserved to be chained every day. The little girl refused to leave, saying that she wanted to stay at home and that she could find a new wife for her brother in a few years.
The eight members of the family looked at Shan Ye in unison, their eyes alert and full of vigilance. Even Hou Xianglan's own children were like this; they were brainwashed very successfully.
