"Wanwan, if you don't get married now, you can't stay in the city. Your father has been taken away for two days, and I think Mom will be gone tomorrow... What will you do then?"
When Chen Ling said this, she burst into tears. What could she, a woman, do?
Xia Wanwan silently walked forward and hugged her mother, saying, "Mom, don't worry. At worst, I can go to the countryside and follow you."
"You silly girl! Your father and I have tried every possible way to keep you two in the city, yet you actually want to go to the countryside? The conditions there are extremely harsh, how could you possibly endure it?"
Chen Ling's eyes filled with tears. She didn't know what to do next. If she was taken away tomorrow, what would happen to her daughter? Who would take care of her?
"Mom, I'm not afraid of hardship. I'm just afraid that you and Dad won't want me anymore. No matter how hard it is, let's stay together as a family, okay?"
Faced with her daughter's plea, Chen Ling softened her heart. How could she be sure that a random man would be good to her daughter?
Even the matchmaker personally recommended by my brother-in-law is a second-rate guy, let alone...what about others?
Besides, we received news today that they, Old Xia, will be sent down to the depths of the mountains. Every step will be extremely difficult there, but at least the child will be by their side!
"Okay, then Mom will be selfish for once. You are not allowed to cry when you suffer in the countryside. Also, if you see us in the village, pretend you don't know us, okay?"
"Also, I've received accurate information that your father and I will be assigned to the Dongninggou Village Office in Jiang Province. When you're assigned to the countryside, choose a location nearby and see if there's a chance you can be assigned here as well."
"I'm worried about your sister now that we're gone. Go and see your elder sister tomorrow before you leave, okay?" Chen Ling couldn't stop her tears from falling, but now was a difficult time, and there was no other way but to do this.
"Mom, I understand."
Then he was pulled into the house by his mother, and he watched with his own eyes as she opened a secret door in the bedroom. She then took out a thick stack of banknotes and a dozen small yellow croakers, and quietly divided them into two parts.
"Here's two thousand yuan. Put it in your suitcase and take it with you. It's for your sister. You saw it's in our warehouse. There are still a lot of small yellow croakers left by your grandfather in there, but you can't take them away now."
Chen Ling felt very distressed. She knew that those people would definitely find out tomorrow. It felt like they were cutting her blood.
"Mom, it's so private here, I guess everything will be fine!"
Xia Wanwan could only comfort herself in this way for the time being, and when she left, she would put everything into the space. Anyway, her material space was very large, and she could put it back when she had the chance to redress it.
"You're right, it will probably be fine. You can't take care of yourself at all, let alone clean up by yourself. Let mom help you clean up." Chen Ling closed the secret room, wiped her tears, and pulled Xia Wanwan back to the room to pack up.
It is true that a mother worries about her son even when he is far away.
In the evening, the mother and son finally had a full meal filled with meat, because they both knew that the situation might change tomorrow and they didn’t know when they would be able to eat meat again!
As night fell, Xia Wanwan finally managed to coax her crying mother to sleep, then she changed into a black nightgown, opened the window and went straight down... This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
