After Chen Daming took 6 dog-skin plasters from Chen Xuanxuan, he told his mother about it as soon as he got home.

Chen Daming said hesitantly, "Mom, I don't know where the third sister got these things from..."

Old Lady Liu listened, thought about it seriously, and couldn't help but raise her head and said with relief, "Your third sister should have come to terms with it, just like your mother, and found a few capable lovers for the child outside..."

When Chen Daming heard this, he instinctively looked around and found that the door of the stove room was closed, so there should be no one eavesdropping, so he quickly lowered his voice and said.

"Mom, let's speak softly, but we must not let other people in the room hear us..."

Chen Daming already knew all about his mother's past experiences.

Back then, when he was only three years old, there was always that well-dressed constable uncle at home.

This particularly kind and friendly constable uncle would give him a bag of maltose or peach cakes whenever he saw him.

Sometimes, he would give him a few coins and ask him to play outside. Or help watch the door.

That guy came at least three times a month. He

came every month, every year.

Every time he came, he carried large and small bags of things in both hands.

After a long time, he got used to it.

He accepted from the bottom of his heart such a generous and kind uncle.

So, at the beginning of that year, his youngest brother Chen Xiaoming was born.

In October of the following year, his third sister was also born.

Chen Daming was particularly happy about the birth of these two siblings.

Because every time my mother held a full-month wine party or birthday gift for them, the kind and generous uncle constable would always bring some valuable gifts.

Moreover, the names of his two brothers and sisters were personally given by that educated and cultured man!

When he thought of his godfather, Chen Daming couldn't help but redden his eyes, and said to the old lady Liu with a grateful face, "Mom, I suddenly miss Uncle Gao a little bit..."

When Uncle Gao was here before, he lived a very good life. At that time, he could eat delicious rice from time to time. With fried bacon with greasy day lily, he could eat three bowls in one breath.

When he had Uncle Gao by his side, he was fearless and could do anything. He could read, learn to write, and learn arithmetic. Even the abacus beads were taught by Uncle Gao...

The student from the village chief's family greeted him politely when he saw him and Uncle Gao together.

... Thinking of the good times in his childhood, Chen Daming, who is already in his thirties this year, shed tears with a sad face.

Seeing her eldest son suddenly like this, the old lady Liu was stunned for a while.

After she sighed deeply, she couldn't help but say, "You are not the only one who misses your father. Actually, I miss him too..."

Old Lady Liu liked this man from the bottom of her heart at first.

If she didn't like him, she would never have given birth to these three children for him.

Whenever Old Lady Liu saw her eldest son, her youngest son, and the third daughter who looked very similar to him, she would think of him unconsciously. She

thought of his warmth and generosity towards her.

As an uneducated woman, every time she lay in the same quilt with him and heard him recite those beautiful poems to her with a gentle face, she would feel her heart, which was about to wither, beating wildly.

If she had not been unable to make up her mind, she would have eloped with him with the children.

Hearing that his mother finally admitted that Uncle Gao was his biological father, Chen Daming burst into tears.

In fact, he had guessed it a long time ago.

Because every time he saw his youngest brother and the third sister, he couldn't help but think of how Uncle Gao hugged them happily.

Moreover, these brothers and sisters looked completely different from the second and third brothers, as well as the eldest and second sisters!

They are much more beautiful than them.

Thinking of his biological father, who was actually only with him for thirteen years, Chen Daming's tears flowed.

"Mom, if our father was still here with us, our life would not be like this at all..."

Seeing that Chen Daming missed his father so much, old lady Liu shook her head gently.

She felt that she would never see him again in her life...

because her lover had been transferred to Fujian more than ten years ago with his superior, the county magistrate at the time.

The county magistrate is now the governor. And her lover, as the county magistrate's close follower, also married a lady from a wealthy family with the help of the governor.

Now he has a wife, children, and even grandchildren.

Although every year he would ask the people at the post station to send her some local offerings from his place, and a full ten taels of silver. However, old lady Liu also knew that there was no going back between her and him.

So, old lady Liu advised her eldest son, "Old man, don't be sad."

"Your biological father is a capable and promising man. You can't sever your relationship with him so easily..." "

When you make a lot of money in the future and have the opportunity, you can take your biological brother to visit him, meet him, care about him, and kowtow to him more. It can be regarded as a filial piety from you, his sons."

Hearing this, Chen Daming nodded heavily. "Mom, don't worry."

"When I save enough money, I will go there in person. I don't know how my father is doing now..."

Seeing how filial he was, Mrs. Liu smiled immediately.

"Well, he's fine!"

"Don't worry about it."

At this point, Mrs. Liu suddenly mentioned Chen Xuanxuan again, "Big brother, your third sister is not bad. If we hadn't been cheated by the matchmaker Gu, the man your third sister would have married would definitely be better than the one she has now."

"When she first got married, I had already advised her that this woman should be more open-minded. Practicality is important, reputation is shit!"

"Tell me, for peasants like us, if we don't have enough food and warm clothes every day, even if you have a good reputation, who will really respect you from the bottom of their hearts?"

Chen Daming listened and nodded several times. "Mother, it is indeed like this..."
