Chapter 21

Nan Tao was shocked. It was so horrible. For the sake of her son, she actually lied and made her daughter bear the guilt for the rest of her life. She was completely sacrificing Xiong Qin's life.

What kind of scumbag parents would do such a thing?!

What's more, Xiong Qin's stupid brother is obviously a violent person who abuses Xiong Qin. Such a person is not worth it!

"Let me first introduce you to seed potatoes. They are usually the size of an egg like the one in my hand. They look healthy and intact, without any holes caused by insect bites. This type of sweet potato can grow normally after being planted.

When we dig a hole in the soil, we should pay attention to the depth of the hole. It is best not to exceed 20cm. Generally, it is enough to be a little longer than the length of our hand. After the hole is dug, we put the seed potatoes in, cover it with soil and water it. This is the basic process. "

Xiong Qin introduced it to everyone shyly but professionally.

After listening to this, everyone started to take action.

The children are especially excited. You dig the soil, he plants potatoes, and he waters the plants. Everyone is having fun together.

After an hour, everyone was sweating profusely and hid under the shade of the trees to rest in the cool air.

Nan Tao sat next to Xiong Qin and said, "I heard you say yesterday that you were dropping out of school. What a pity."

Xiong Qin: "Well, if I don't go home, my mom will come to school and make a scene. I don't want to lose face."

Nan Tao: "Is it because your family doesn't give you tuition?"

Xiong Qin shook her head: "My family didn't give me tuition fees. I worked part-time and saved money to support myself. The government also provided good welfare benefits to students, including scholarships and student loans. Some villagers also secretly gave me some money. I was able to make ends meet with just a little bit of work."

Nan Tao: "Why do your parents insist that you drop out of school and go home to take care of your brother? Aren't they at home too?"

Xiong Qin: "Maybe they were afraid that I would stay out for too long and not want to come back, and would not take care of my brother in the future."

Nan Tao: "Yesterday I saw your brother beat you so fiercely, and you still looked guilty towards your brother. Did something happen?"

Xiong Qin said bitterly, "When I was a child, I played too much and fell into the water. My brother saw me and jumped in to save me. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have become a fool. It's all my fault that I'm like this now. If only I hadn't played too much by the river when I was a child..."

After hearing this, Nan Tao wanted to say something but couldn't say it directly, so she could only complain in her heart.

[Silly girl, you were deceived by your parents. It wasn't you who fell into the water because of playing around. It was your brother who ran into the water and drowned and became stupid.]

[Your parents were afraid that when they got old and passed away, there would be no one to take care of your brother, so they deceived and brainwashed you since you were a child, so that you would take care of your brother for the rest of your life.]

[It's terrible that parents would play tricks on their own daughter. Fortunately, my parents love me very much.]

When netizens on the live broadcast saw the message "Have you eaten melons today?" appear, their first reaction was that there was melon to eat again. Before they figured out who had the melons, they saw the content floating on the screen and immediately became angry like puffer fish.

[This, this, this... this is too much! ]

[This is so selfish. This is completely ruining my daughter's life.]

[Oh my god, Xiong Qin didn’t know the truth at first glance. ]

[It's so scary that there are such parents. They must have bullied Xiong Qin since she was a child in order to brainwash her. Otherwise, she is a student from a 985 prestigious university, so she must have some intelligence.]

[Let your daughter feel guilty for the rest of her life, just to make her willingly raise a stupid brother? ]

[This is so disgusting. My parents also favor boys over girls, but they only favored them financially. At least it didn’t cause me any psychological trauma…]

[Are there any classmates of Xiong Qin? Can you contact her and give her a warning? I really can’t stand it anymore. ]

[No, I just want to say, why are you so excited? How can you trust a three-no account so much? ]

[I suggest you go to various platforms to see how amazing "Have you eaten melons today?" is, it almost always hits the mark. ]

Nan Tao asked: "Do you remember falling into the water?"

Xiong Qin shook her head: "I don't remember. My mom said I was very young, about three years old. I seem to remember falling into the water, but it also seems like I didn't."

Nan Tao: "Indeed, I was too young and can't remember many things."

Xiong Qin looked dejected: "I asked my aunt, and she also said it was all my fault."

Nan Tao raised her eyebrows. That's right. The concealment must have been a gang crime. Otherwise, it would have been exposed after more than ten years. Maybe the whole village had colluded to keep it a secret. This could also explain why some villagers secretly gave money to Xiong Qin. Maybe they felt guilty but couldn't say it out loud so they expressed it this way.

Xiong Qin was devastated. This scam that lasted for more than ten years was a huge blow to her, whether she knew about it or not.

Nan Tao heard Jiang Hui calling her, so she stood up and walked over to Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui: "Just now the village chief said he was worried that the children were tired, so he asked them to go back first and arranged a performance for them. You can watch their performance at dinner tonight."

Nan Tao became interested: "What performance?"

Wen Manqing "The little girls are clamoring to perform Cinderella."

Nan Tao's eyes lit up: "Okay, I like it. Who will play the prince?"

Jiang Hui: "That's the problem. Xiaoli and Xiaoze both don't want to act."

Nan Tao laughed out loud: "If you don't want to act, you can fight back and let them play Cinderella and the evil stepmother."

Zhou Mei: "You are amazing."

The two children, Yu Ze and Zhan Li, abandoned their internal conflicts and turned to the outside world to protest in unison!

The children went back first under the leadership of the village chief, while the adults continued to sweat under the scorching sun.

In a flash, the afternoon passed and evening came.

In the blue sky, the clouds are colorful and the sunset glows red, giving people a feeling of warmth and joy.

Nan Tao was so tired that her legs became weak and she stood leaning on Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui supported Nan Tao's body as she was about to fall, and asked in a low voice: "We are going back, can we walk?"

Nan Tao wiped the sweat off her face and said, "Yes."

Nan Tao and the others waved to Xiong Qin, and helped each other onto the three-wheeled electric vehicle.

A breeze blew by, and the green plants on both sides of the road quickly receded from sight. The chirping of birds came to my ears, like a chatterbox.

Nan Tao lowered her head, the loose hair around her ears fell on her cheeks, her slightly sweaty forehead stuck to the loose hair, revealing her full and white forehead. From the side, her head was perfect, her nose was high, and her small red lips.

The beautiful scenery of the setting sun makes the beauty look like a painting.

Netizens licked her face during the live broadcast.

[Besides anything else, Nan Tao is very pretty and can be ranked among the top in the entertainment industry. ]

[I like this kind of bright and flamboyant color with a hint of salty fish. ]

[Sister, you are not alone. I also like this very much. ]

[Do you think that in this scene, Taozi is very suitable for playing a delicate beauty? I think the arrogant and domineering stupid beauty is also very suitable. 】

[Taozi is a perfect fit as the heroine of the novel. 】

[Does Taozi have any dramas to watch? I don’t care if I’m stupid. I just want to lick her face. 】

When we arrived at the gathering place, after thanking the villagers, the adults got off the bus and walked inside.

Wen Manqing saw her daughter hurriedly passing by and quickly grabbed her: "What are you busy with? You didn't even see me?"

Zhang Tong: "Mom, please let me go. I need to rehearse urgently."

Nan Tao asked curiously, "Tongtong, what are you acting in?"

Zhang Tong smiled and said, "Keep it a secret, you will be able to see it at night."

The adults burst into laughter and said, "These kids are quite mysterious."

It was time for dinner. This time, a large round table was set up to seat fifteen people. There were the program director and assistant director, the village chief and nine guests, and the rest of the seats were occupied by village officials and some prestigious villagers.

Everyone ate while watching the children's performances.

Nan Tao laughed and said, "I never thought my son would play the role of a big tree, haha."

Jiang Hui also laughed: "Xiao Li played the prince, and he probably lost the game of rock-paper-scissors to Xiao Ze again."

Wen Manqing: "I knew my daughter would play the role of a vicious stepmother. She has liked villain roles since she was a child."

There were all kinds of problems when the children were performing. One moment, little Yang Xuan forgot her lines and stood there stupidly. The next moment, Zhang Tong added lines and gave an impromptu performance.

Yu Ze was fine, just sitting quietly as a background board.

Zhan Li was speechless. He looked at the chaotic scene and continued to act.

The childlike and hilarious scenes on stage made the adults laugh.

After the performance, the children bowed to the audience and then happily jumped off the stage to find their mothers.

Just as everyone was happily chatting and eating, suddenly there were sounds of crying and quarreling coming from far away.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Two middle-aged women were tearing at each other and swearing at each other fiercely. One looked short and fat, old, and had a vicious look on her face, while the other looked relatively young and also had a fierce look that was not to be messed with.

"The village director and everyone else are here. You must judge for me today! This woman is going too far."

Mother Xiong frowned and yelled, "Aunt Xiong Qin, if you have anything to say, why don't we just stay in the house and talk about it? Why do you have to go out like this and make a fool of yourself?"

Xiong Qin's aunt sneered, "Shut up, you stinky mouth! Don't think no one can stop you. Now that everyone is here, tell me exactly what you are going to do about the house demolition! I can tell you, I contributed money and effort to build our house, and my household registration is still at home. So if the house is demolished now, I will definitely get a share of it."

Mother Xiong stamped her feet fiercely, "Don't even think about it. The house is ours. It has nothing to do with you. You are willing to build a house for your parents. It is your own business. What does it have to do with me? If you have the guts, go underground and ask your parents for it!"

Xiong Qin's sister-in-law burst into tears. She and Xiong's mother had quarreled several times because of the house demolition, and the village director had also quarreled several times, but they were all pushed back because it was difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs. Today's opportunity was specially chosen by her. She didn't believe that the village director and others could still play it safe in front of outsiders and netizens across the country.

"Village director, you have to help me, wuwuwu... When my brother got married, he had no house, so I used the money I had saved for more than ten years to build a house for my family and help him get married. Now the house has been demolished, and I should have a share of it. I heard that the government's policy is to calculate it based on the number of people, and now his family wants to embezzle my share... They are so conscienceless..."

Mother Xiong said, "You are talking nonsense! The house originally belonged to me. You were willing to pay for the house. No one forced you! Village director, don't listen to her. A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out of the water. How can you expect money from her parents' family? Do you think this is reasonable? What daughter would share her parents' money after she gets married?"

The village director was overwhelmed, his face filled with embarrassment and awkwardness, and he kept glaring at Xiong Qin's sister-in-law and Xiong's mother, but the two of them ignored him.

The village director whispered: "Didn't you see so many people here? I will definitely take care of your family's matter in two days!"

Xiong Qin's aunt said loudly: "This matter cannot be delayed any longer! You must give an explanation now! Look at her fierce face. She takes advantage of others in the village every day. People's hearts cannot be too bad. I think you have done so many evil things that you gave birth to a stupid son! What a sin! This is retribution!"

"I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Mother Xiong was touched in the sore spot and stepped forward to give Aunt Xiong Qin a slap in the face, "I told you not to talk about my son, I told you not to talk about my son!"
