Chapter 39: Catch an adulterer in pairs (Part 1)
From the moment Huo Chuchun spoke, Chi Wan knew what she was going to say.
Huo Chuchun was willing to say these words, which was undoubtedly the beginning of a change for the better.
Chi Wan did not interrupt the girl's courage that she had finally mustered.
She was quiet and listened carefully.
"Sister-in-law, 놖 is not actually this family's child. Mother picked her up from the fields..."
"It was a snowy winter, and I was placed in a bamboo basket and covered with a small quilt..."
"Since I was little, my mother, my first and second brothers have all kept this a secret from me. But there are so many people in the village, and there are also those aunts who like to gossip. In fact, I have known about my life experience since I was five years old..."
When Huo Chuchun said these words, there was not much sadness in her voice.
After ten long years, she had completely accepted the fact that she was abandoned by her biological parents.
She was just a little nervous...
Because this was the first time she wanted to tell someone the deepest secret in her heart.
I have never experienced such a nervous and fearful feeling, yet unable to help but feel intimate.
at the same time.
While Huo Chuchun was speaking, he gently touched the dark red birthmark on her right cheek.
Under your fingertips, you can feel the moisture of the vanishing cream and the smooth skin.
There was no trace of any ugly protrusion, but it left a bloody wound in Huo Chuchun's heart.
Perhaps her biological parents abandoned her because of this terrible birthmark she was born with.
After Huo Chuchun finished speaking, he paused for a moment, waiting for Chi Wan's reaction.
Chi Wan remained calm.
There was no surprise at all about this matter.
"Sister-in-law, why aren't you surprised at all... Could it be that... you already knew?"
The one who was surprised was Huo Chuchun.
She turned sideways in the darkness, her clear eyes looking at Chi Wan in disbelief.
This "knowing".
It's not just about knowing that Huo Chuchun was an adopted child.
She also knew that they had not concealed the truth from Huo Chuchun, and that she had learned about her life experience.
This is a double meaning.
"Well, I know something." Chi Wan's gentle voice sounded, "Xiaochun, not only I know, but even your brother, or the people in this family who love you, all know about it."
Huo Chuchun was shocked again.
At home...
Know it all...
Her mind was buzzing, as tangled as a tangled mass of wool.
But in Chi Wan's heart, she was very clear about the plight of this family.
Huo Chuchun clearly knew her own life experience, but she kept silent about it for ten years, pretending that she knew nothing. She didn't want Huo Nan and Zhang Yue'e to worry.
Huo Nan, Zhang Yue'e and the others could clearly see that Huo Chuchun knew her life experience, but after seeing her trying hard to pretend nothing had happened, they couldn't bear to see her sad, so they went along with the acting.
They both deceived each other in order to please each other.
In fact, it leaves an unsolvable knot in each other's hearts.
The longer the time is, the bigger the pimple will be.
So much so that even in a lifetime, there is no way to solve it.
"How could it be... Since 꺶 hyung already knew... why didn't he just tell 놖..."
Huo Chuchun was at a loss. Even when she was lying in bed, she felt her limbs getting slightly cold.
Chi Wan slowly reached out from under the quilt.
She gently held Huo Chuchun's wrist and stroked the back of her hand soothingly.
"Xiaochun, let's not think about this for now. Sister-in-law has a question for you. Do you think sister-in-law is a family with you?"
"Of course!"
Huo Chuchun nodded without thinking.
She was like a docile little lamb, led by Chi Wanqian and following her change of consciousness.
"Sister-in-law, you are my brother's wife, and you have such a good relationship, so of course this is your home."
Huo Chuchun said this confidently.
She was even worried that Chi Wan would think they didn't treat her as a family member.
Chi Wan asked directly, "But there is no blood relationship between me and you or your brother."
"What does blood relationship have to do with this? We live together as a family, and we treat each other well. If there is anything delicious to eat or drink, we are a family. You share it with me, and I share it with you—"
Sudden.
Huo Chuchun's words came to an abrupt end.
Her mind was full of thoughts, and she seemed to be unable to understand anything.
Seeing this, Chi Wan smiled silently.
She continued what Huo Chuchun had said.
"Xiaochun, you are right. We are a family."
"The so-called family has nothing to do with blood ties, it's the feelings between each other."
"A girl who has been married for only one month is a family. You have lived in this family for fifteen years, so you are even more of a family, a real family."
Similar words, spoken by Huo Chuchun himself and then heard from Chi Wan, had completely different feelings.
Huo Chuchun's heart felt like being hit by something.
One by one.
Jumping so fast.
In fact, she understood all these principles.
She just couldn't believe it.
I can't believe that at this time, besides the cold-blooded parents who abandon their own children, there are also parents who treat the children they adopted as their own.
In fact, they treated her better than their own children.
"But...놖...놖..."
Huo Chuchun's lips were trembling, and even her eyes were flickering.
"Xiaochun, there aren't that many buts. You are a family."
"Families love each other, but they also quarrel and lose their temper. Look, your brother didn't lose his temper anymore."
"So you don't have to restrain yourself so much. Smile when you are happy, and lose your temper when you are unhappy. If Huo Dongzhi annoys you, you can scold him loudly."
Speaking of this.
Huo Chuchun suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Suddenly.
The tense atmosphere in the room also dissipated, becoming relaxed and intimate.
There was a faint gleam of light in Huo Chuchun's eyes, and she was trying to hold back the smile on her lips.
She said, "My second brother takes good care of me, and I don't feel annoyed."
Under the dim light, Chi Wan saw the girl crying and laughing, and felt completely relieved.
She also completed Huo Nan's request.
Huo Nan did not let him down. Even though he felt sour and bitter, he still gave up his bed.
Night.
Getting deeper and deeper.
The voices in the hut continued.
"Xiaochun, do you know how Huo Dongzhi got his name?"
"Mom said that my second brother was born on the winter solstice, so Dad gave him the name based on the twenty-four solar terms."
"But when mother found you, it was also winter, but she named you Chuchun. Do you know why?"
“…”
"Early spring, early spring. After early spring, it is the real spring. In spring, you can grow food and flowers will bloom everywhere. What a wonderful season."
