Chapter 144: Behind the Scenes
Wu Qinglan came out of the house exhausted.
She described her as embarrassed, her face was miserable, and she looked much older than her actual age.
Standing on the side of the pedestrian-filled street, Wu Qinglan was at a loss.
She really didn't know where to go.
I can't go back to my mother's house, and I can't stay at my mother-in-law's house, and after all these years, she seems to have always been alone.
Turning her head to look around, she saw a small park not far away, and couldn't help but walk over.
There are a lot of residential areas here, and there are many elderly people with children and young mothers in the small park.
There are old couples playing with their grandchildren or granddaughters, and young mothers pushing carts around the small park, and there are laughter and laughter everywhere.
Wu Qinglan is very incompatible with this environment.
She looked at the smiling faces of the children, and then at the old people who were chatting together, and she didn't know what to do, so she had to find a place to sit down first.
She had not been sitting down long before she saw a rich old lady sitting beside her with a leather ball.
"Oops, I'm old, and I'm really tired of taking care of the kids for a day." The old lady complained.
But with a smile on her face, you can see that she is enjoying it.
Not far away, a little girl who looked like an old lady was playing on a swing, and a little boy was riding a small car.
"This is your grandson and granddaughter?"
Wu Qinglan pointed to the little girl and the little boy and asked.
She didn't know why, but when she saw those two children, she felt very fond of them, and couldn't help but ask.
The old lady nodded: "Yes, I'm tired of taking two children, I can't stand to go to bed early this night, and I have to get up to make breakfast for them at dawn, but my children are very sensible, and I know to wash my feet when I go back. ”
"It's very cute." Wu Qinglan said again.
She wondered if her child would have been so cute if she had been born.
"yes." The old lady liked others to praise her child for being good, so she turned her head and glanced at Wu Qinglan, and she was very surprised at this look.
"Girl, I look at you and think you're kind, what's your last name? Have we met? ”
Wu Qinglan had a good memory, and she could be sure that she had not seen this old lady.
"I don't think so." Wu Qinglan shook his head, but still said his surname: "My surname is Wu." ”
The old lady slapped her thigh: "I said why are you so kind, it turns out that we are still related to each other." ”
Wu Qinglan was even more surprised at this time.
"What's your last name?"
The old lady smiled: "My surname is Wang, and you don't know if you say it...... You haven't seen me, but I've heard of you. ”
Wu Qinglan didn't understand very well, so the old lady asked, "Are you called Qinglan?" ”
Even knowing her name, Wu Qinglan thought, this may really be an acquaintance, she is quite embarrassed, because she can't think of anything to do with this old lady Wang.
"My daughter-in-law's surname is Cui, and her name is Cui Cherry."
As soon as Mrs. Wang said this, Wu Qinglan knew who it was.
Cui Cherry is Wu Qinglan's own sister, the sister of the same father and mother, she knows Cui Cherry, she secretly went to see it when she was a child, and she also knows that Cui Cherry married into H City......
Knowing the identity of Mrs. Wang, Wu Qinglan was a little resistant in his heart.
She got up and wanted to leave.
Mrs. Wang grabbed her: "You girl, I haven't said anything yet, what are you going to go, sit down." ”
Mrs. Wang's strength was so strong that Wu Qinglan couldn't break free, and she didn't want to quarrel with people in this kind of place, so she had to sit down.
"Our family and the Cui family are neighbors, and I grew up watching this child Cherry." Mrs. Wang looked at Wu Qinglan and said softly: "I also know what the situation of the Cui family is, your mother...... I have a heart disease, I took a big risk when I gave birth to a cherry, and when I gave birth to a cherry, your grandmother saw that she was a girl, and her face was longer than that of a donkey, and your mother was forced by your grandmother to have no choice, so she wanted to conceive another ......"
Wu Qinglan thought to himself, he must have given birth to a second child and it was not uncommon for him to be a girl, so he gave her away.
Who knew that what Mrs. Wang said was different from what she thought.
The Wu family had always told Wu Qinglan that she was not welcomed, and her parents didn't want her because she was a girl, and she always thought so.
"Your dad knew that your mom was pregnant with you, he didn't agree, he had to go to the hospital to do it, but your mom didn't listen, and finally gave birth to you, but you didn't turn a year old and your mom went, at that time, in order to treat your mom, your dad owed a lot of money, he had to find a way to pay it back, he couldn't earn money at home, he wanted to go out to work, you were young at that time, it was impossible to take you out, if you entrusted it to your grandma, your grandma was like that, maybe your dad walked on the front foot, she sold you on the back foot, and your dad couldn't help it, I gave you away, at that time, he chose the Wu family for a long time, thinking that the Wu family had no biological children, it would definitely be good for you. ”
Wu Qinglan had never heard of this kind of thing.
She didn't know that there was such an inside story, and she was stunned for a while.
"To be fair, your dad actually loves you very much." Mrs. Wang sighed: "He didn't want you to suffer with him, so he gave you away, you don't know, Cherry is a little sin to suffer, your father is carrying the cherry out to work, during the day the cherry entrusted to the neighbor to take care of, he went out to work, until very late to come back, Cherry is hungry and full when she is young, a little older, your father will take her to the construction site to work, when Cherry is seven or eight years old, she can cook and wash clothes at home, and do any work." ”
Wu Qinglan bowed his head.
When she was seven or eight years old, she also did housework in the Wu family, and she had to take care of Wu Qingyue.
"You two sisters are miserable." When Mrs. Wang talked about these things, she was still a little distressed: "Your father thought that you should be able to live well in the Wu family, but who knew that the Wu family had a biological child, so he threw you aside, you study well, they don't let you study hard, you were admitted to the university with your own efforts, the Wu family didn't let you go, your father found out, and said that he was willing to pay you tuition, and gave the money he had saved for many years to the Wu family, so that you could continue to study." ”
"What?"
Wu Qinglan was so shocked that she couldn't sit still anymore, she stood up suddenly, and looked at Mrs. Wang in surprise: "What did you just say?" The money for my studies is, me, my dad? ”
Mrs. Wang nodded: "I know clearly, at that time, Cherry and my boy chose a wedding date, your father said that he prepared a dowry for Cherry, and then discussed with Cherry, saying that it is important for people to study, so he first embezzled the dowry money prepared for Cherry, saying that it would be made up later, and Cherry also felt sorry for you, so he agreed." ”
Mrs. Wang didn't complain about this, she smiled: "We all know your situation, and I don't want to embarrass your father, I also asked my son to prepare a little money, thinking that if the money is not enough, let him, as a brother-in-law, also subsidize a little." ”
"Really?" Wu Qinglan was stunned.
She really never thought that her biological father still paid attention to her, and he had worked so hard to get her to go to school.
The money she used to go to school turned out to be her sister's dowry.
Wrong......
Wu Qinglan thought of something: "How much money did you take at that time?" ”
Mrs. Wang remembers it clearly: "Your father took your tuition and living expenses for four years of college, which is calculated at 20,000 yuan a year, a total of 80,000 yuan." ”
Wu Qinglan felt a pain in his heart, followed by deep hatred.
She couldn't hold back and sat down: "But I only got 10,000 yuan, which is for my first year's tuition, as well as living expenses for the first few months, and I haven't gotten money since then...... I earned my tuition and living expenses from my part-time job. ”
At this moment, Mrs. Wang was shocked.
"Girl, are you telling the truth?"
"How can you lie about this kind of thing?" Wu Qinglan smiled bitterly.
Mrs. Wang grabbed her hand and asked eagerly, "Then did you have a dowry when you got married?" How much did the Wu family give you? ”
"No, nothing." Wu Qinglan shook his head vigorously: "I didn't give me a penny, and I asked for a bride price of almost 200,000 yuan." ”
Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth angrily when she heard this: "The Wu family is too deceitful, when you got married, they called your dad and said that you were getting married, your dad must have a statement, your dad just saved some money at that time, and it was all sent to the Wu family, a total of fifty or sixty thousand." ”
