Gu Qinghuan thought she would receive a reply from her cousin Luo Qi first, but she didn't expect it to be a long time before she got a reply. Instead, she received the first letter from Xiao Lanting.

He said that he was fine and asked why Gu Qinghuan suddenly sent him money and things.

He kept the stuff and got his money back.

The letter focused on greetings to grandparents and mother.

Gu Qinghuan did not tell him about Zhong Zijun's injury, nor did she tell him about her marriage.

One is that I’m afraid he’ll worry and add to his sadness.

I really don’t know where to start, so I’ll leave it at that.

For some reason, she always felt that Gu Lanting was hiding something.

-

The Xu family in Beijing.

Zhong Luoqing looked at the envelope in his hand, his face livid.

The mother-in-law actually hid her letter.

If I hadn't helped her clean the room today, I wouldn't have accidentally found this letter from under the bed.

Huan Huan wrote to her for the rare occasion, asking for her help, and she almost missed it.

Thinking of this, Zhong Luo gritted his teeth. The Xu family was really going too far.

She took the letter and went straight downstairs, angrily slamming it on the dining table.

"Mom! Why did you hide my letter? Do you know that I almost missed some very important news?"

Mother Xu showed no guilt at all, and said as if it was a matter of course: "During this critical period, I have to personally check all the letters from home. Is there any problem?

Zhong Luoxi, you are now relying on our Xu family to survive and have not been demoted. Why are you still in contact with those stinky old men?

If I see you doing this again, I will punish you with family discipline!"

Xu Youran was sitting at the dining table eating peacefully, but she was frightened by her grandmother and fell on her butt. She rolled and crawled behind her mother, terrified, with tears in her round eyes.

Zhong Luoqing sadly helped his daughter up and held her in his arms for comfort, his heart already torn into pieces.

"Don't cry, You Ran. Mommy will hold you. Where is Mommy?"

Xu Youran grabbed her clothes tightly.

Xu's mother made a disgusted sound.

"Cry, cry, cry! You still have the nerve to cry. You are as timid as a chicken. You are embarrassing.

Zhong Luoxi, for all these years, you have been just a little girl, and you didn't let Jianguo go out and find other women. Do you want our Xu family to be extinct?

I tell you, if your belly doesn't move, don't blame me for being cruel! Our Xu family has been a single-line family for five generations."

Mother Xu left as soon as she had said that. She had made an appointment with several other ladies to play mahjong today, so she should be there sooner, otherwise she would not let her go so easily.

Xu Youran kept crying, and after Zhong Luo coaxed her for a while, he also started crying silently.

She hates it so much!

I hate myself for being so blind and giving my heart to the wrong person.

I hate the injustice of heaven and the hardships of the world.

I hate the Xu family for being so cruel and ruthless, and I hate myself for being so weak and incompetent.

Too much hatred.

When her parents were wrongly accused and sent down to the countryside, she had just been released from prison and was still in confinement after giving birth.

Her body was already injured from bleeding, and she did not take good care of herself during the confinement period, leaving her with a lot of pains.

The entire Xu family gradually revealed their wolfish ambitions.

In addition to verbal humiliation and attacks, there is also mental oppression.

She used to be a piano teacher, but the school fired her after that incident.

In order to respond to the policy, the Xu family even resigned their nanny, and the burden of the family's life fell on her alone.

You have to know that she used to be a lady who had never touched women's home. Her hands were used to play the piano instead of cooking and washing clothes.

However, she started cooking, washing clothes, cleaning, and taking care of the children during the confinement period. She was responsible for everything.

At first, she just thought that the family had to get through the difficulties together, so she gritted her teeth and persevered. Unexpectedly, what she got in return was even more humiliation and harm.

Over the years, she had been ill and unable to conceive, her parents-in-law had said a lot of disapproving things to her, and Xu Jianguo had also begun to secretly have affairs outside, and she knew all of this.

It was only for 깊悠然 that she endured it again and again.

Sometimes I ask myself, what is the point of having a marriage in name only? I can't help my parents, and I can't educate my children well.

Xu Jianguo was like a scumbag. When he was pursuing me in the past, all the promises he made to me were long gone, and now all that was left was mutual torture.

They would punch and kick each other at every turn, scaring the child so much that he hid under the bed and trembled. A five-year-old child was as timid as a chicken.

She just felt that her own personality was extremely gloomy.

A mother is strong. After crying enough, she stood up again and patiently coaxed the child.

It was a rare occasion that her cousin contacted her, so no matter what, she would find a way to find out the truth for her.

She went directly to the small building where the Zhong family used to live to inquire about the situation.

Only then did I know that my little cousin had been away from home for some time.

It seemed that she had a quarrel with her family about her younger brother and ran away without going to school.

This uncle doesn't care what happens to his older son, and now he is focusing on his younger son.

At the end of last year, he just got a fat boy.

In fact, she could imagine that her uncle from the Gu family was probably the same kind of people as her husband's family, the Xu family.

He seeks to curry favor with the powerful and behaves like a mean person.

In the past, when someone needed help, he would act hypocritically and flatter them. But when someone is in trouble, he would immediately change his face and wish to add insult to injury and step on them.

Last year, her cousin Huanhuan was sent to the countryside, and she felt something was wrong. Unexpectedly, just a few days later, Lanting was also forced out of the house.

I guess it has something to do with that woman.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Uncle Gu is really too cruel.

No, he is no longer my uncle.

After a lot of twists and turns, Zhong Luo asked around and finally found Gu Lanting in a tube building.

He was working hard on the charcoal stove.

This guy was a young master and had never suffered any hardship, but now he has experienced it all.

"Lanting..."

Gu Lanting looked up and was stunned.

"Cousin, why are you here? Where is the child?" Gu Lanting stood up and shook off the dust on his body.

"I entrusted her to my neighbor and didn't ask. What are you doing...?"

Gu Lanting invited her into the house and said, "It's simple here, don't mind. The money I earn now can only allow me to live in a tube-shaped building like this."

Although he is young, he seems mature beyond his years.

Zhong Luoqing felt a little sad.

"I don't mind. Look at what you said. Why didn't you go to school and run away?

Your sister Qinghuan wrote to me some time ago and asked me to come and see how you are doing. She is very worried about you.

Unfortunately, I arrived late, and my mother-in-law kept the letter, and only saw it these two days."

When Gu Lanting heard this, he immediately became anxious.

"Sister Luo, please don't tell my sister about my situation. She has a hard time living in the countryside. She will be sad if she knows about my condition."

The two siblings lived together for several years after their mother was sent down to the countryside, and their relationship was unusual.

Zhong Luo sighed: "Then tell me honestly, what's going on with you?"
