Uncle Wen knew something about what happened back then, so after swallowing hard, he nodded.
"Mom, if that's really the case, then you've been wronged by the boss. Now think about it, Widow Ma only said that she worked outside.
As for what kind of work he was talking about, no one knows. Also, mother, you said that Xu Qingshan accidentally ended up in our village.
And mother, you were the dream wife that everyone in the surrounding villages coveted.
Because at that time, Wen Bibo was the only girl in his family, and she was pretty. Marrying her would mean having money and support.
But because the Wen family wanted to recruit a son-in-law who would live with the family, they were able to stop many people from having such ambitions.
But even so, there are still many people coming to ask for help.
Wen Bibo didn't want to hide the past, so he talked about some of the past events.
"Xu Qingshan did plot against me. Initially, the person I had my eyes on... was probably your biological father."
Xiushui raised her hand and asked, "Grandma, I want to confirm one thing: what you were attracted to at the time was the real Xu Qingshan's appearance."
Everyone's eyes rolled around, and Li exclaimed in surprise. "So, mother, you're saying that Xu Qingshan has been living under a human skin mask all these years?"
Only in this way can we explain why there is the saying of "replacing the husband". Otherwise, Wen Bibo is not a fool, so how could she not be able to tell the appearance of the person next to her.
"Well, now that I think about it, in the beginning, Xu Qingshan should have occasionally appeared in the village in disguise.
Every time he gets things done, he goes out to do his own dirty work. And by the way, he also controls your inactive father."
When mentioning that man, Wen Bibo still gritted her teeth. She deeply felt that a man who could be controlled by others all the time must not be a good person.
Or maybe, he's a weak guy.
Such a person, the original body actually gave birth to a bunch of children with him. Fortunately, that person disappeared, it was good that he disappeared, otherwise she would be an old lady and still have to face an old partner, which would make her feel uncomfortable.
"Don't you find Widow Ma's attitude towards Xu Qingshan strange? Even if her reputation is bad, it's just bad. No man has ever had an affair with her.
However, she was respectful to Xu Qingshan from beginning to end, yet also tinged with fear."
When everyone thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case.
"Then, Wen Mingtao is her child after all, right?"
"How do you know if Little Taohua is really her child? What if she is just a child that Widow Ma intentionally adopted from outside to consolidate her status?
After all, there are many abandoned baby girls.”
Xiushui was also stunned by the old lady's analysis.
If you think about it, it's possible.
As for the matter between Xiao Taozi and Xu Qingshan, how could a mother really be unaware of it?
If she knew, then who was she plotting against by pretending not to know?
"Grandma, you mean that Xiao Taozi is not her biological daughter, so she pretends not to know about the mess between Xiao Taozi and Xu Qingshan.
In front of Xiao Taozi, he looked angry and warned her, but in fact he wanted to make Xiao Taozi ashamed and feel guilty towards her.
As for Xu Qingshan, she acted like she didn't know anything, but she still let Xu Qingshan take care of her.
"But, is it just for these small gains?" Li still couldn't understand. She was truly devoted to her daughters, so she couldn't understand such calculations for a few small gains.
The old lady spread her hands.
"Widow Ma has been living in the village. When have you ever seen her work? When she was little, Taozi was small, but she said her husband's family had some money and they were using it as their old capital.
Xiao Taozi could cook now. She had a free maid to serve her, someone to do the laundry and cooking, and Xu Qingshan gave her money to support her.
Not only can she watch these two people perform, but she can also feel a little revengeful. As a woman who is used to being lazy, it is not normal for her to do this!"
Everyone exclaimed again, as if... it made sense.
After all, it can only be explained if she is not his biological daughter. Using such a girl can tie Xu Qingshan down firmly, and he can also always have a mistress to provide him with food.
"If that's true, then doesn't that mean the incident between Xiao Taozi and Xu Qingshan was actually orchestrated by Widow Ma? It's truly disgusting what this woman did. Of the three people involved, Xiao Taozi was the one who suffered the most."
Xiushui nodded enthusiastically. She had observed Wen Mingtao before, and it was obvious that she didn't really like Xu Qingshan, but was just trying to be nice to him.
Or maybe, over time, she developed a certain dependence on him, but falling in love with the old man? That's impossible!
Shortly after the meal, the person Yan Hong arranged to investigate and track came back.
This time Xiushui directly called the old lady over to listen to the man's report together.
"The mother and daughter argued for a long time, and finally Wen Mingtao made some promise, and then they returned to the neighboring village of Xiaoli."
Xiaoli Village now accepts a lot of outsiders, most of whom are temporary workers or people doing business in Linji City.
Nowadays, most of the fields in Xiaoli Village are not used for farming. Instead, they build some convenient houses and rent them out. The rent collected is more cost-effective than buying food, so many people are unwilling to farm and instead become landlords.
"After I followed him, I asked the people in Xiaoli Village and found out that when Wen Mingtao first came, he did bring an old man with him.
But she claimed to the outside world that the old man was her father, who had been frozen by a cold one year and was now unable to leave. According to those people, the old man had not spoken a word and his expression was a little dull.
It seems that there is something else wrong with him besides just the difficulty walking."
Xiushui was excited.
"It sounds like the old man had an accident. Haha, I was talking about taking care of him, but now it seems I don't even need to do anything."
"Have you ever secretly inquired about the old man's condition?"
Wen Bibo asked worriedly.
"While the mother and daughter were still arguing, I sneaked in quietly.
I discovered that the old man had almost no good flesh left except for his face. In other words, the young woman said she was taking care of her father, but in reality, she was probably torturing him.
Haha, who would have thought that the little lover that Xu Qingshan secretly kept would actually hang on to him after he was too old to do so. Why torture him like that?
Tsk, how straightforward! Xiushui felt that Wen Mingtao was actually someone who could be dealt with.
