Whenever he found something delicious in the mountains, he would secretly bring it home for her. Although the couple lived a hard life in the Xiao family, they could always find a glimmer of sweetness in the midst of hardship.
In her spare time, Mu Xiya would teach Xiao Changhe to read and write, and their relationship grew deeper and deeper.
The next year, Xiao Ling'er was born safely. Old Mrs. Xiao found all kinds of reasons to bully Mu Xiya, saying that she gave birth to a money-losing baby and forced her to go to the fields to work without even taking care of herself during the confinement period.
As a result, Mu Xiya's body was damaged, and she didn't get pregnant again until the fourth year.
However, the old witch Mrs. Xiao wanted to sell Xiao Ling'er when Mu Xiya was about to give birth. In order to protect her daughter, Mu Xiya fell down and bled heavily during the scuffle.
Fortunately, they met a traveling doctor who passed by Daoxi Village, and the mother and child were finally safe.
However, when Mu Xiya fell, she hit her head on a rock beside her and became a fool.
That time, Xiao Changhe went crazy. With bloodshot eyes, he yelled at Old Lady Xiao, asking her why she treated his wife and children like that.
At that time, all the members of the Xiao family were frightened by Xiao Changhe's expression. It was also because of his madness that the family of four lived a peaceful life for three years.
When Xiao Yuhao was four years old, a notice came from the county government that families with two or more sons were required to send one male to fight in the war.
The Xiao family naturally fell into the hands of Xiao Changhe. Old Mrs. Xiao used methods such as rolling on the ground and hanging herself to force Xiao Changhe to compromise.
Xiao Changhe had no choice but to compromise in the end, but he also made demands and said some harsh words. His demand was to separate the family and he signed a basis for separation.
After the separation, you cannot bully his wife and children for various reasons, otherwise, when he returns triumphantly, he will not care about family affection and will take revenge on you one by one.
And all the revenge will be taken on Xiao Aihe, the youngest son that Old Man and Old Lady Xiao love the most.
The Xiao family members all bullied the weak and feared the strong. They were really frightened by Xiao Changhe, so they separated Xiao Changhe's family that day.
Before leaving, Xiao Changhe asked his brother Wang Daniu, who had been good friends with him since childhood, to help take care of his wife and children, and gave Wang Daniu two hundred copper coins that he had saved privately for many years as a reward.
However, no one expected that he would be gone for four years without any news, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive.
Xiao Ling'er felt that her adoptive father was a man of foresight. If the family had not been divided, the original owner, mother and son would have been eaten to pieces by those people in the Xiao family.
It was wise to split up the family. Although Mu Xiya's IQ was impaired, she was still able to work. The original owner was ten years old at that time. She could not only take care of her younger brother, but also take on some housework.
From her memory, Xiao Linger felt that Xiao Changhe also had his shining points. He was intelligent and brave, and although he was foolishly filial, he was not beyond redemption.
He also knows how to protect his wife and children, and will do his best to make the best arrangements for them.
Compared with ancient men, he is also affectionate, responsible and capable of taking on responsibilities.
It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time, in this feudal ancient time when "filial piety" was the most important thing.
Xiao Ling'er could understand that Xiao Changhe had no choice as a son, but that didn't mean she approved of his actions.
Xiao Changhe fulfilled his filial duties, but he was undoubtedly ashamed of his wife and children in his roles as a husband and a father.
Xiao Ling'er didn't feel much about whether her father was still alive.
She could not resonate with the original owner's emotions, and felt that her father Xiao Changhe was very distant, so distant that he was almost unreal.
However, I still hope that he is still alive and well. At least this may be the hope of the original owner and Xiao Yuhao. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
