Chapter 59: Recognizing Relatives and Sending Money

  Rebirth of Military Lineage's Thousand Gold

  Qiaoyi was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night yesterday because she's coming to see her sister today. If it weren't for the fact that her parents had already made arrangements with her uncle in Wucheng County, she would have rushed over to spend New Year's with her sister last night. To think about it, they only ate together once when they were young, and although they are biological sisters, this is only their second meeting in over a decade.

  She had always known she had a sister, but they didn't live together. When she was nine years old, her parents finally brought her to Fogang County for Chinese New Year. She saw her sister then, who wore ordinary clothes and looked like a country child, dirty all over, with a face that wasn't as clean and tidy as the kids around her. She looked like a wild child. At the time, she was still young and didn't understand things, so she laughed at her sister. Because of this, she hurt her sister's feelings. After that, her parents rarely came to visit her, and when they did, they never brought her along again.

  She is now seventeen years old and has not seen her sister for eight years. There are other siblings in the family, cousins, but she doesn't like any of them, feeling that their personalities are too different. Moreover, she only has a cousin, not a biological sister, and the cousin who is close to her always seems to have ulterior motives, which she dislikes. This year, she wants to win over her parents' hearts by coming to Yunqing County to spend the New Year with her biological sister. At the same time, she also plans to apologize to her sister. Although eight years have passed since the incident, when she was nine years old and returned home, she thought about it for a long time until one day she met a girl around her sister's age being ridiculed on the street. At that time, she just watched from the side, but seeing the girl pretend to be strong in front of everyone and then cry silently after they left, she suddenly realized how wrong she had been back then.

  Sisters who have been living in two different worlds since birth, but why do they share the same parents and family background, with the same blood running through their veins? Yet, this younger sister has been treated coldly by everyone since she was a child, sent to a remote town at a young age, without anyone asking about her well-being, just leaving an old nanny from the household to take care of her. Meanwhile, the other one enjoys a life of luxury and pampering, living like a princess. Thinking about it, it's really heartbreaking and unfair for this younger sister.

  Listening to the old lady calling her, Qian Yawei turned around and smiled sweetly at the old lady. A few days ago, she had also sent this old lady to Er Gu Village, but they just took a glance and left quietly. She knew that the old lady was afraid of letting her grandson see her, so both of them were very low-key when passing by. They stopped the car far away from the village and changed into ordinary clothes before entering. Qian Yawei also saw the old lady's grandson, and her first impression was that he was very cold. The coldness made her not dare to look at him for more than a moment, even though he was concentrating on his work at the time. However, in her heart, she still felt an uncontrollable fear of that man. So until now, she couldn't remember what that man looked like.

  She took a glance at her own sister, who didn't want to bother with her. On the way here, she had thought about it and felt that it was normal for her sister not to care about her. If she were in her sister's shoes, given her own temperament, she probably wouldn't have even come out to pick her up. But this younger sister of hers seemed to be much better than herself in terms of temperament.

  A smile spread across his face as he quickly walked to the old lady's side, "Grandma, don't worry, I'll take you there in a minute." He also winked at her.

  When I was in the car, Qian Ya Wei mentioned this matter. After being with Qian Ya Wei for several days, I knew that this girl was kind-hearted and also knew that the girl who had a cold face and was distant from Qian Ya Wei was pitiful. So I didn't say anything else, sighed, nodded my head, and signaled Qian Ya Wei to go talk to her sister.

  Qian Meng'er was very cold, the whole person was different from the lively and crazy girl in front of friends as usual. She looked at her sister who appeared in front of her with a cold gaze. At that time, she was still young, but her heart was very sensitive, let alone what her sister said to her at that time.

  It's been so many years already, she's no longer angry, but just because she's not angry doesn't mean she can just endure how her family has wronged her, does it?

  She doesn't care about her family at all.

  All these years, she hasn't left this town for a single step. Even when the Qiao family occasionally sends her messages to return home and attend some banquets, such as her grandparents' 50th or 60th birthday, or someone's engagement, or... finding an excuse for her sister's birthday banquet...

  All these things happened in recent years, but her whole heart has already chilled towards the entire Qiao family, where would she be willing to go back and attend those kinds of gatherings.

  "Ming'er, after all these years, are you still blaming your sister?" Qiao Yawei took a step closer to Qiao Ming'er, wanting to reach out and grab her hand, but was dodged by Ming'er who took a step back, avoiding her grasp.

  "You're so noble, and we don't even know each other, what's strange about that?" But her words didn't match her age at all. This sister was the princess of the family, and she often heard her grandmother mention it. At home, she was the lofty pearl, the only one in the Qu family. And perhaps outside, people only knew that the Qu family had only one daughter, her, Qu Meier? But like a withered grass, she didn't know how she was forgotten by these people and left in that corner.

  Qian Ya Wei was about to say something when Qian Man Er suddenly glanced at a group of people not far away, her mouth corners twitching upwards, and a thick smile appeared in her eyes. Just as Qian Ya Wei thought her sister had finally come around and was willing to forgive her, she reached out to grab her sister's hand, but in an instant, her vision went blank, and she saw her sister sprinting away at incredible speed, the smile on her face growing larger and larger before her eyes.

  Turning around, staring at everything in front of me in shock.

  Just now still aloof Qian Meng Er, saw a girl wearing white down jacket, jeans and board shoes, looking absolutely not bad in this small town, ran over. She was too far away to see clearly, but she could hear her sister's happy laughter.

  "Older brother, you're back! Do you know how much I've missed you?" A hug wrapped around Su Mo Ruo, and Quan Miao Er's entire head was buried in Su Mo Ruo's chest.

  Su Mo held Qian Meng'er in his arms, taking a deep look at the girl who had buried her head in his chest. Despite her strong exterior, to them, she was still just a child, looking so fragile. Feeling Qian Meng'er's body tremble slightly in his embrace, he couldn't help but reach out and pat her back gently.

  "You two are being too mushy, aren't you?" Kong Yihui's smiling eyes stared at the two people in front of him. He had an opinion about them always hugging each other. He didn't know why, but he wasn't very happy to see Quan Mang'er running into Su Mo'ruo's arms. At this moment, a strange thought popped up in his mind - he felt that Quan Mang'er should be leaning on his shoulders, how could she lean on Su Mo'ruo's shoulders? Even though this person was their respected leader.

  "You're in charge, you've got nothing better to do after eating your fill all day, huh? You even dare to interfere with me?" Qiao Minger wasn't one to hold back either, her emotions quickly returned to normal, she lifted her head and let out a loud roar at Kong Yihui.

  Kong Yihui shouted back directly: "Who cares who I love? Still looking at whose face and giving face?"

  "You're still acting like a father in front of me..." The child had always liked to argue and bicker at times.

  Qiao Yawei watched as her sister seemed to be arguing with someone and felt a bit worried, so she walked straight over to Qiao Man'er's side.

  "Look, isn't that your friend Meng Er?" Wu Liying raised an eyebrow as she watched Qu YaWei walking towards them. She didn't recognize this beautiful girl who looked like a rich family's daughter at first glance. Perhaps it was the innate love of beauty among girls, but looking at Qu YaWei, who was prettier and had better taste than herself, and dressed more elegantly, Wu Liying felt a twinge of jealousy in her heart, and her words were tinged with a hint of mockery.

  "Other people are high and mighty young ladies, how can they be friends with someone like us who is worlds apart?" Hearing Wu Liying's words, Qian Meng'er turned her head to look at her and replied very calmly.

  Everyone was taken aback by these words.

  Emotions, others simply don't like this girl who suddenly appeared.

  But Sumojo recognized the girl who was walking over, unexpectedly, she said that her sister had come to find her, and it turned out to be Qian Meng'er. It seems that this girl's heart is not bad for Qian Meng'er after all. In a small town like this, which is so barren, New Year's must not be good, but she actually left home without celebrating the New Year and ran to such a place.

  "Is it you?" Originally, Qiao Yawei was still prepared to talk to Qiao Meng'er, but she pointed at Su Mo'r in front of her with surprise, her eyes full of astonishment and her voice filled with doubt.

  She nodded and calmly glanced at the old man in front of her, although he was wearing different clothes from a few days ago, but she could still recognize him to some extent. She thought of Tan Yun Ning from Er Gu Village, today because of her foster mother's matter, she hadn't had time to go see him yet. When she got back, she would give him a call and tell him that she would go see him in a few days. He was probably waiting for her too.

  "Do you know each other?" Qiao Minger seemed somewhat skeptical. It was unbelievable that the two people would actually know each other, given Qiao Yawei's identity, where could she possibly have any connection with Su Mo?

  Before Su Mo could speak, Qiao Wei smiled and quickly replied: "Yes, we know each other, on the train."

  Qiang Hua Tou mainly because her sister has been refusing to talk to her, Qu Ya Wei is indeed depressed in her heart, now that she has found the opportunity, even if it's not asking her, she still hurriedly snatched the conversation to answer.

  Upon hearing this, Qian Meng'er merely glanced at Qian Ya Wei and stopped speaking.

  Looking at Qian Meng'er, Qian Ya Wei felt an inexplicable sense of loss. She immediately looked up and glanced at Su Mo Ruo, "Hello, I'm Qian Ya Wei. We parted ways in a hurry the other day and didn't have time for a proper introduction." Even aside from Qian Meng'er, Qian Ya Wei still had a pretty good impression of Su Mo Ruo, so this introduction wasn't just about trying to curry favor with her sister or make Qian Meng'er less dislike her.

  "Su Mo Ruo." Simply saying his own name, he also extended his hand and shook hands with Qian Ya Wei.

  She actually had a good impression of Qian Yawei, this girl's temperament is not bad, on the train although she didn't say much, but at critical moments, she was still fearless, before they didn't know each other, but she wasn't afraid that Wu Linlin might retaliate, in this strange place, because of an unfamiliar girl and made enemies with another person.

  Generally, many people know that when going out, outsiders can't be trifled with. When you're in an unfamiliar place, it's easy to get bullied.

  "Now that we've met, let's go have some fun together." Song Shijun, who was standing beside him, had already taken a liking to this beautiful girl, but he also knew that her status was noble and they could only look at her from afar.

  Wu Liying gave Song Shijun a fierce glance, her eyes seeming to tell him that he had no shame.

  "Alright."

  "What's fun?"

  Two female voices sounded at the same time, one full of affection and joy, the other mixed with ridicule.

  Qian Meng'er shot a fiery glance at Song Shi-jun, then turned to everyone and said: "She's a rich family's precious daughter, how could she possibly play with us country bumpkins? Wouldn't that be beneath her dignity?"

  After being said by her sister, Qian Yawei's face couldn't hold it anymore, her complexion turned a bit red, she looked at her sister uncomfortably and then scolded: "Sister——I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to come over and take a look at you, spend the New Year with you."

  "We don't know each other, stop pretending to be relatives." She would never go back to that house in this lifetime.

  The people around them were bewildered, watching the two of them arguing fiercely, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, but they didn't dare to speak up. After all, Qian Meng'er was notorious in their circle for being a little chili pepper, and whoever provoked her would become the second Su Mo'rò, going crazy and almost taking someone's life.

  No one dared to offend this little witch, so they all shut their mouths and watched everything in front of them.

  Su Mo looked on, shook her head and sighed inwardly. This was a family matter of others, how could she intervene? She glanced at the old lady in front of her, who was still Tan Yun Ning's grandmother. Even if Tan Yun Ning didn't acknowledge it, this old lady had good intentions towards her grandson Tan Yun Ning. So now that they met, even if the old lady didn't know her identity, Su Mo still walked over.

  Jiang Min Hui stared at Su Mo Ruo in surprise, suddenly remembering that this little girl had said her family was in a remote small town, and asked: "Is your home here?"

  "Yes, how is it? Doesn't this place look terrible?" Nodded upon hearing these words.

  "Hehe, you little girl, this place may seem terrible to many people, but after all, it's where you were born and raised, can't be looked down upon." Although Su Mo Ruo's expression and tone made it impossible to tell if she was looking down on the place, these words still made the old lady add another sentence.

  "Hmm, I know." Thinking that she had been here for so long, why was she still with Qian Ya Wei? Moreover, this place is still some distance away from Er Gu Village.

  Listening to Su Mo's words, the old lady also flashed a hint of pain in her eyes, and walked over to sit down on the stool prepared by Qian Meng'er's grandmother. "Don't say any more, my grandson, I didn't dare let him know I came, the past few days were all accompanied by Xiao Wei to secretly see her, today I wanted to go take a look at how he spends New Year's, but Xiao Wei said she wasn't at ease with me going alone, and the mountain road over there isn't easy to walk either, we've already gone several times in the past few days, I also know that the mountain road over there isn't easy to walk, it would be a bit difficult for me to go alone, so I agreed with Xiao Wei's words, she said this afternoon she'll accompany me over."

  This point of Ya Wei is indeed done very correctly, for a strange old lady, that girl can do so, it also explains her kindness.

  Finally, Qian Meng'er drove Qian YaWei to a dead end and directly ran back to her own room. Qian YaWei stood at the gate with a pitiful face, her eyes brimming with tears.

  "Miss, go back, Second Miss has a bad temper, please don't mind." The nanny of Qian Meng'er said softly while looking at Qian Yawei.

  She knew that her sister couldn't accept it for the time being, and looked at the old lady sitting next to Su Mo Ruo chatting. In the end, she still sighed and nodded, "Okay, then I'll come again in a few days. Anyway, I've already told Dad and Mom that I'm going to stay here for this winter break."

  "For the entire winter break?" The old lady was somewhat shocked, after all this place can't compare to Donghua.

  "Of course, I said I would. I must stay here for the entire winter break and only return when school starts." Looking at the old lady in front of her with a serious expression, Qu Ya Wei had already told herself before coming that she must make this younger sister accept her. Even if she didn't accept her, she couldn't reject her either. For these few years, Qu Ya Wei had always dreamed of having a younger sister, so she wouldn't give up on Qu Mian Er so easily.

  Qian Ya Wei didn't leave with the old lady immediately. She walked over to the two of them and chatted for a while before taking the old lady away.

  Next to him, Kong Yihui and others rushed over at this time, "Boss, when did you know these rich people?" The one who called herself Qian Meng'er's sister was definitely a young lady from a wealthy family, and the old lady might be an elder of that young lady, and must be even wealthier. They had all seen them on TV before, many elders of wealthy families were not easy to get along with, but just now they saw Su Mo'r talking to the old lady in a very friendly manner.

  He shook his head, didn't say a word, and after a while said: "Let's call it a day today, you guys go have fun, we'll gather again tomorrow. Meng'er doesn't look too good, I'll go comfort her."

  "Alright." Although he felt a bit disappointed, thinking that Qian Meng'er was in a bad mood now, Kong Yihui endured it as well.

  After that, Sumo stayed at Qian Meng'er's home for the entire afternoon, accompanying her and chatting with each other a lot. Sumo also found out that Qian Ya Wei was actually her biological sister. However, although they shared the same family background and had the same blood in their veins, the treatment they received was vastly different - one was pampered like a princess, while the other was left to suffer in the mud.

  Returning home at noon, I found that the atmosphere in this house was a bit unusual. Not seeing my foster mother, nor hearing the voices of Ya Feng and Ya Jing, I pushed open the door to the main room, but was stunned. Inside, sat a strange middle-aged man, with two men standing beside him who looked like bodyguards, but they didn't seem to be from around here. At least, their eyes and demeanor were not something ordinary people could possess.

  At this time, she saw her adoptive mother, Liu Qin, sitting on the chair beside her. Seeing that she had returned, a stiff face for a while now revealed an awkward smile, "You're back."

  "Mm." She nodded and walked directly towards her foster mother, without even looking at the people around her. It wasn't that she was being rude, but since her foster mother hadn't introduced her to these people, it would be awkward for her to suddenly speak up.

  "How can you sit here like this, are you hungry?" The adoptive mother had just been discharged from the hospital and her body hadn't fully recovered yet. Now she was sitting here with these people, not moving at all, definitely uncomfortable. "Your injury hasn't healed yet, how can you still be sitting here? The doctor said you need to move around more."

  "Yao Yao——" Although not her biological daughter, she is more like one. Over the years, she has been dependent on this daughter, although she is a troublemaker, almost every day causing trouble for her to clean up, but she has always treated her with kindness. The feelings between the two mothers and daughters are known only to themselves. Now someone has come to ask her to give up this emotional bond that surpasses blood ties, how can she bear to let go?

  She was naturally sensitive, and when she heard Liu Qin call her like that, she knew something must have happened. She took a glance at Liu Qin, and immediately put on a smile, "What's wrong, mom? Never mind, you're not feeling well, we can talk about it another day, I'll go make dinner for you first." After saying that, she headed towards the kitchen. At this moment, her heart felt a strong sense of unease, she didn't want to hear what came next, and had a feeling that what was said next would be extremely important to her, concerning something very crucial.

  Looking at her sensitive daughter, knowing that she must have sensed something, she reached out to hold her hand, smiled softly and said: "Don't be like this, calm down a bit, listen to mom finish speaking, okay?"

  A pair of hopeful yet bitter eyes stared at Su Mo Ruo, making one's heart ache uncontrollably. Suppressing this feeling, Su Mo Ruo nodded, "Alright, you speak, I'll listen."

  Take a deep breath and immediately turn around with Su Mo, looking at the few people sitting next to them, pointing to one of the men: "Ruo Ruo, they are here to find you."

  "What do you want from me?" The rebuttal was extremely quick, with icy cold eyes devoid of any emotions. The gentle feeling that had been on Su Mo Ruo's body earlier had vanished, and he was now in a state of high alert, staring at the man in front of him who was looking at him excitedly, his red lips pursed tightly.

  Looking at her daughter like this, she knew the other party was a big shot, and she was afraid that her daughter would offend him. She didn't have the ability to make her daughter's life better, although she couldn't bear to part with her daughter, but she hoped her daughter could live a better life. So, she thought for an entire morning about whether or not to endure the pain of separation.

  "Looking for me? What's the point of looking for me?" He curled up the corner of his mouth and sneered at the few people in front of him.

  "Have you guessed it already?" The daughter had been clever since she was a child, although she hadn't said anything yet. Listening to her words and looking at her expression, Liu Qin couldn't help but ask carefully.

  "I only have you as my family, no one else." She looked down deeply at her foster mother, Liu Qin, and from her eyes, she read the intense reluctance to part with her. Her gaze flickered restlessly, revealing that her heart was also struggling intensely.

  "Miss Liu Qin, is she our family's Ning Er?" Ning Tianhua sat in the chair, seeing Su Mo walking in. Although he had seen this daughter before in the capital city, each time was from a distance, afraid of being discovered. Now, looking at Su Mo so closely, his heart couldn't help but be overwhelmed with emotions. Although he knew her, at this moment, he still remembered that they were strangers.

  Originally, because of Sumo's moving lyre, listening to Ning Tianhua's voice, after a moment, he also came back to his senses, let go of his daughter, looked at Ning Tianhua, nodded and said: "Yuer has been living with me for 18 years, her personality is more lively, sometimes a bit mischievous, but she is absolutely a good kid..."

  Listening to her foster mother, it was as if she was going to give her away for adoption, constantly telling others about her good qualities, seemingly afraid that she would be bullied and mistreated if she followed this man back home. In her chest, a dense warmth arose involuntarily.

  His throat was a little knotted, and Ning Tianhua looked at the girl in front of him, as if he was looking at his young wife, so alike, really too alike.

  Gazing coldly at Ning Tianhua in front of her, Su Moruo's icy demeanor stretched out, exuding an aura that warned people to keep their distance. She then withdrew her gaze and turned to her foster mother, saying, "Mom, I'll go cook for you. It's been a while since the time passed, and it wouldn't be good if you went hungry."

  "You this child..." Liu Qin listened to Su Mo Ruo still trying to avoid the topic and change the subject, couldn't help but feel annoyed, glared at Su Mo Ruo, then looked up at the middle-aged man beside her. Half an hour ago, these people appeared in her home, and she was very puzzled at first, but when they explained their intentions, she became hesitant. She had only one daughter, Su Mo Ruo, and now her biological father had found them, a wave of panic rose in her heart, their arrival probably meant that she would lose this adopted daughter.

  "He is the biological father." Although very reluctant to admit it, Liu Qin still whispered beside Su Mo Ruo's ear.

  Upon hearing this, Su Mo didn't show any signs of shock, she just nodded and turned around to leave.

  "Xiang'er——" At this time, Ning Tianhua spoke up, looking at the girl in front of him who had obviously changed the subject multiple times and refused to talk to him or make contact with him. In the end, Ning Tianhua couldn't help but call out her name.

  This year, they didn't have a good time. In the past, it was fine, but now that there's news about their eldest daughter at home, they could have directly brought her back, yet because of an incident between him and his father-in-law, they delayed acknowledging her as their own. His wife's spirits were low during the New Year, so he couldn't bear it and flew to the province last night, then drove here. He arrived in town near noon, and to avoid drawing attention, he parked his car outside of town and came with two other men. This time, coming to acknowledge this daughter was his own private decision. After all, his father-in-law's side still hadn't made a move, but he couldn't take his wife's daily worried expression anymore, so he decided to come and bring his daughter back first. However, he didn't expect that when the daughter saw him, she wasn't excited at all. Even after Liu Qin told her about her identity, she remained calm. He was shocked in his heart, but on the surface, he was very calm, yet he was very suspicious about what had happened to her and why she didn't show any expression when seeing her own biological father - an expression that a girl of her age should have.

  Listening to it, it's not hard to see that the middle-aged man with a hint of sadness in his eyes is shouting at her. In fact, when she was in Beijing, she often encountered many unexplained followers, without any power, she herself had investigated, but the other party hid very deeply, and she couldn't find out. Now it seems that this Su Mo's "cheap old dad" is probably the object of her long-standing suspicion, hidden very deeply.

  Looking at the tense-faced man with a cold eye, her lips moved slightly. In the man's expectant gaze, her voice was icy, "Ning Er, who?"

  "... " was deeply stabbed by these words, and his face turned extremely ugly.

  He opened his mouth, and his heart ached to the extreme. He thought about his wife's mental state over the past few days, which had been poor. Every night she would have nightmares, dreaming that their daughter didn't recognize them. At that time, he was also tense, but he believed that as long as they went to pick up their daughter and bring her home, she shouldn't be too resistant. But now, he didn't dare to be certain anymore.

  Her daughter's one sentence shut down all the words he wanted to say, all opportunities, her words were too absolute, although only three short words, but couldn't hear out her indifference to him.

  "Stop it, he's your biological father." She looked at her adopted daughter with red eyes, although she was reluctant to part with her, but she couldn't go against ethics and morality. The girl was someone else's after all. She had raised the girl for so many years and had developed feelings for her, but the fact remained that the girl's biological parents had given birth to her. When they came over today, she could sense that this man cared about Su Mo Ru. Back when they adopted the girl, they saw a piece of jade on her body that looked like it was made of good material, but as a child, the girl had accidentally broken the jade pendant while playing. Now thinking back, her parents must have had an unavoidable reason for leaving her behind.

  Seeing her foster mother's reddened eyes, Su Mo Ruo's expression softened and she reached out to wipe away the tears that were about to well up in Liu Qin's eyes. "Mom, I'll go cook for you." She said, then rushed into the kitchen without waiting for anyone to refuse.

  In fact, she didn't know how to face this man either. Neither she nor Su Mo Ruo had any impression or feeling about their biological father. Their adoptive mother, Liu Qin, was the only family they had, and there was no one else who could occupy such an important position in their hearts. But now that their biological father had suddenly appeared, it disrupted her and her adoptive mother's originally peaceful life.

  Watching Sumo rush into the kitchen, Liu Qin was afraid that her daughter had offended this man who looked absolutely not simple. She quickly wiped away the tears in her eyes and forced a awkward smile on her face, "Sorry Mr Ning, Ruo Ruo... she has lived with me for 18 years, you suddenly appeared, maybe it's hard for her to accept..."

  Listening to Liu Qin's words, Ning Tianhua furrowed his brow and let out a deep sigh. He waved his hand at the two subordinates behind him and said, "You two leave first, I have something to discuss with Ms. Liu Qin privately."

  The two men retreated at once.

  Ning Tianhua and Liu Qin were still talking in the main room when Su Mo'ru finished heating up all the dishes, but they hadn't finished their conversation yet.

  Nor did she go in to call someone, Su Mo stood in the kitchen, dazed and lost in thought.

  The door of the hall finally creaked open, and Ning Tianhua took a look at the girl in the kitchen. She had her back to him, facing away from the light, so he couldn't see clearly. Although he was reluctant to leave, although she wanted to take this daughter home with them for New Year's, in the end, he endured it. He couldn't rush his interactions with this daughter; her temperament was unlike theirs - too proud, too cold, and too stubborn.

  After Ning Tianhua left with his two men, Liu Qin slowly walked out of the kitchen, looked at the hot dishes on the stove that had gone cold again, and went over to rekindle the fire, pouring the dishes into the pot to heat them up.

  "What are you thinking?" Looking at her daughter standing beside her, she knew that today's events might be hard for her to accept.

  She glanced at Liu Qin, she didn't believe that Liu Qin would let her go, having lost her husband. Although this daughter had been very disobedient, she still tolerated her with a kind heart, taking care of her and never being unkind to her for half a moment. If she left, she was alone, having lost all her relatives, how could she live?

  She took a deep look at Liu Qin, then turned her head to pick up the scoop and scooped the vegetables in the pot, saying softly: "Mom..."

  "Huh?" She was somewhat puzzled that her daughter would use such a familiar tone to call her, possibly due to the communication habits they had formed since she was young, and she had never heard her daughter call her in such a familiar way before.

  "In this world, you are my only relative and also my only mother." She doesn't care about others, nor does she know them.

  Listening to this, the fire-burning Liu Qin's hands trembled, her face stiffened, and her eyes were entangled, staring deeply at her daughter. After a while, she let out a deep sigh and continued to pass on the fire. "This temper of yours really needs to be changed." In her heart, however, she was very moved - all these years of love for this daughter had not been in vain.

  But thinking of her ability, and also thinking of the man who could follow many people to say that only big shots would bring bodyguards, she couldn't help but stiffen up again, "Mom doesn't have much ability to let you live a better life, but your biological father..."

  The words had not been finished, when Su Mo Ruo was interrupted, "I can support myself, I have two hands and ability, and also a brain." Walking to the side of her adoptive mother Liu Qin who was burning fire, she squatted down, stretched out her hand to cover hers, voice calm, "Mom, I don't need you to support me, I only hope that in the future I can let you live a good life, it's enough."

  ...Looking at her daughter for a while, Liu Qin finally couldn't help but shed tears in front of her.

  Looking at her mother with a frown, Sumo stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears and got up to scoop the dishes into bowls by the stove.

  The mother and daughter didn't say much after dinner, but Sumo stayed home all afternoon to accompany Liu Qin. For the next two days, Liu Qin asked Sumo to stay home due to physical reasons and not go to work. Although Liu Qin was reluctant, she knew that missing a day of work meant losing a day's pay. These people didn't care about holidays or festivals, which were just occasions for spending money. Making money was their life.

  However, she couldn't outdo her daughter and stayed at home. Except for the first day of the Lunar New Year, this woman was very clever and should have known that there were things going on in their household that they could avoid mentioning to her, thus avoiding things they might not want her to see.

  But these days, Yao Feng has been bringing his son Yao Jing over to cook and eat every day. The two families have a total of four people, although compared to other families celebrating the New Year, there are fewer people, but the atmosphere is harmonious, everyone joking around, it's actually quite enjoyable.

  On the third day of the New Year, in the morning, Su Mo Ruo and Liu Qin had just finished breakfast when someone knocked on the door. Su Mo Ruo went to open it and saw Kong Jia Jing bringing along the secretary who came to the hospital with flowers that day, as well as a few other unfamiliar people.

  Nothing was said, but the two exchanged a look that conveyed everything.

  At this time, Liu Qin also walked out of the house and looked at the two people at the door. She certainly recognized them, but since the town secretary had come to their home, she was still a little nervous in her heart. They were ordinary people, but they didn't have the habit of contacting officials.

  "Secretary Kong... you... what brings you here?" He asked softly after taking a cautious glance at his daughter.

  Listening to Liu Qin's tone, he was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly, knowing that they had no warning signs of suddenly visiting, which might have scared Liu Qin. However, after taking a glance at the calm and composed girl beside him, he couldn't help but think, how could she change so much? Her whole demeanor had undergone an earth-shattering transformation, yet her mother hadn't noticed it, still worried that her daughter would be frightened by their sudden visit.

  He took a few big strides and walked up to Liu Qin's side. Kong raised his voice: "Comrade Liu Qin, I'm sorry."

  Suddenly, Kong came forward and said this to her with such eyes, making Liu Qin's whole body uncomfortable, she opened her eyes and said, "What are you talking about, Secretary Kong?"

  "I'm sorry, Comrade Liu Qin. That year, our village was hit by a snow disaster and we had no harvest all year round. Our town government was in financial deficit. At that time, we encouraged everyone to donate for disaster relief. Your husband is a good man! Although he's very ordinary and doesn't earn much, he donated 50,000 yuan to us. Our government was shocked at the time, but didn't want to accept such a large sum of money from an ordinary worker like him. So, our town government gave your husband an IOU, look, it's right here." As he spoke, Kong Jiajin pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket.

  Digression

  Dear, many of you may be wondering why the recognition here is different from the introduction. I declare that we haven't reached the point of recognition on the introduction yet, haha. This is Ning's father's guilt, he can no longer agree with Lao Yezi's idea, and he also wants to make up for his daughter, hoping she will return home and live with them together. However, it seems our heroine is a bit too cold, scaring people away.
