Chapter 22: Grandma's Questioning
Liu Fengying's face changed, Mo Guoqiang squeezed in at this time, and hurriedly went to say good things to Mo Zhishu. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Grandma Mo didn't plan to let Liu Fengying go so soon, she coughed and continued to shout:
"Listen, everyone, there is one more thing here, I want to ask Liu Fengying: You gave birth to six children, why are you so mean to Xiao Man? Why do you hate her so much? I remember that your first child was born outside and came back, although I can't see with my eyes, but I heard that Xiao Man doesn't look like you husband and wife at all, is it that Xiao Man was not born to you Liu Fengying? That's why you hate her so much?"
As soon as these words came out, the courtyard suddenly fell silent, and soon it boiled like boiling water, and the gossip women were especially active, and they all agreed with Mo A's speculation.
A woman of the same age as Liu Fengying clapped her hands and said excitedly: "I remember this, I remember......! Liu Fengying and I married into this village in the same year, and we were pregnant at the same time, and we also worked in the same production team. Liu Fengying hadn't given birth when I was confined, and she also gave birth to a daughter as soon as I got out of confinement! Her Xiaoman was beautiful when she was a child, and she was more white and pure than my Xiaozhen, and everyone said: The children delivered by doctors in big hospitals in the city are just different! Look at it now, is it a mistake? Liu Fengying must have brought back someone else's child?
The other woman nodded seriously: "Just like Liu Fengying, except for her figure, the skin of that face is so thick that she can't see it, she still squints! Look at Xiao Man again, she has double eyelids, although her skin is black and red, but her skin is thin and smooth, the more she looks at it, the more beautiful she becomes, she really doesn't look like Liu Fengying!"
"Yes, yes, the personality is not like it, Liu Fengying is hot and spicy, and then look at Xiaoman so well-behaved and docile......"
"It turns out that Liu Fengying has been abusing Xiao Man all these years, beating and scolding, asking Xiao Man to do this and that, and being half of the labor force at the age of ten, because Xiao Man is not her own child?
"If Xiao Man is not her own child, then what about the original one in her belly?"
"I heard that she fell outside with a big belly and was taken to the hospital, she must have been stillborn!
"Oh my!"
"It's really terrible! Luckily we didn't go to the city hospital to give birth!"
Liu Fengying was condemned by everyone, and originally shrunk aside to minimize her sense of existence, wanting to wait for Mo Guoqiang to help her deal with the aftermath and it would be over, but who knew that Mo Ah Grandma shouted those few words, which led to everyone's remarks, her face turned green, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore, and jumped out and cried loudly:
"You black-hearted mother-in-law with rotten mouths, you just stole other people's children, and you were still! Mo Xiaoman was born to me, and she was born to me Liu Fengying in October! She doesn't look like me, can't she be like her father? Who doesn't beat their children? Who doesn't do a lot of work and take care of their younger siblings? Who is jealous! Jealous that I gave birth to a capable daughter like Xiaoman! If you dare to talk nonsense and sow discord, I'll fight with you!"
The woman in her thirties was in the prime of life, crying and running to grab a bamboo pole, and hit the crowd with all her might, that desperate look of being open-minded, and that sad and indignant look, giving people an illusion, as if what people said just now was a rumor, and she was slandered!
There are so many men present, rural women are used to working all day long, and they are not weak and bulliable, it is impossible to let Liu Fengying hurt people, the bamboo pole in her hand failed to come down after all, everyone did a good job, grabbed the bamboo pole, pushed and pulled, and then took some tongues, and finally pushed Liu Fengying and Mo Guoqiang and others out of the courtyard gate.
In the courtyard, Mo Zhishu told the people in the village: If there is no real evidence, it is not allowed to talk nonsense, after all, it will also affect Xiaoman, and no child wants to be a rootless duckweed of unknown origin!
Mo Xiaoman snuggled quietly in Grandma's arms, the fifth uncle and grandmother took the herbs pounded by Grandpa and put them on her ears for her, Mo Xiaoman recalled that Liu Fengying grabbed her ears and pinched her nails into the roots of her ears, and knew very well in her heart: Liu Fengying really wanted to pull off her ears and make her completely broken!
Just like splashing her with hot oil in her previous life, it's already that time period!
Liu Fengying and Mo Guoqiang went into the city to visit their biological daughter so frequently, it is impossible for the couple in the city not to notice it at all, they should come forward to inquire, and Tang Yaxuan will tell Liu Fengying that she doesn't want to change back, Liu Fengying must let Xiao Man break her appearance for the sake of her biological daughter!
The broken Mo Xiaoman is naturally not as good as Tang Yaxuan, and the vain couple in the city can treat the broken Mo Xiaoman as a weed for the sake of the excellent Tang Yaxuan, and disdain it!
Mo Xiaoman gently touched his arm and sighed secretly: Reborn in a lifetime, thinking of the indifference to his parents, he still can't help but feel cold all over his body!
The guests all dispersed, the fifth uncle and grandmother led a few mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law to clean up the table and put things away, clean the courtyard and the dishes and chopsticks, Ah Gong and Mo Zhishu and a few old buddies of the family sat around the sunning grain flat, chatting while rolling tobacco with pieces of paper, grandma and Xiaoman were still sitting under the eaves, talking softly.
"Xiaoman, grandma said something like that tonight, there will be a lot of gossip in this village in the future, do you blame grandma about your life experience?"
"No blame! I know why Grandma did this, if everyone can see that I am not Liu Fengying's biological child, then Liu Fengying will have no good reason to get close to me and hurt me! Grandma is for my good and wants to protect me!"
Grandma sighed with relief: "You are a smart and good boy, Grandma really doesn't want you to be hurt by Liu Fengying anymore - that woman is too vicious, she also knows that Mo Xiaozhi Mo Xiaofeng, who loves her, why should she abuse other people's children? Which child is not ten months pregnant and comes out of the mother's womb? If your own mother knows what you are suffering, she may cry like this!"
Mo Xiaoman was speechless: That woman in the city, will she cry for herself? Impossible!
"Xiaoman, no matter what others say in the future, don't care, grandma and grandpa will definitely let you go to school, and you will work hard to earn a good future. If Liu Fengying really brought you back from the city, then your roots are in the city, and you will ...... in the future."
"Grandma, I don't know what will happen in the future, I only know that I suffered a lot in the past, I didn't have enough food and clothing, and I was beaten every day, and I didn't have any fun in life...... After eavesdropping on Liu Fengying and Mo Guoqiang's words, I knew that I was not their biological child, and thought that I would die soon! Now that my grandfather and grandmother love me, I am the only child of my grandfather and grandmother, and I am very happy! I want to be your child forever, no matter what happens in the future, our family will not be separated!"
"Good...... Good boy!" Grandma Mo took Xiao Man into her arms, raised her hand to wipe her eyes, choked up and said: "Don't think about the past, forget it! Xiao Man is the child of Grandpa and Grandma, and it is our most beloved baby bump!"
After the new house made such a scene, there were really rumors and opinions in the village, all about Mo Xiaoman's life experience, but because Liu Fengying actively refuted the rumors, she cried bitterly in front of the public several times regardless of the image, and screamed that Xiaoman was indeed her own child, and many people's suspicions couldn't help but waver, so that two factions were formed in the village, one faction thought that Mo Xiaoman was Liu Fengying's child stolen back from outside, and the other faction thought that Mo Xiaoman should really be Liu Fengying's biological child, after all, there are many children who don't look like their biological parents, each faction has its own opinions, and they don't interfere with each other, anyway, Mo Xiaoman is doing well now, Liu Fengying is no longer her guardian, and it is not a serious matter that has to be solved, people just talk about it after dinner, and this kind of chasing after the wind and shadows will not affect anyone's life at all.
Mo Xiaoman is well aware of this truth, how can grandpa and grandma not understand it, so the family doesn't care at all, they just live happily and happily.
