Chapter 11
Tang Huaijin said that he would ignore him. However, a few days later, Second Brother Wu came looking for him again.
This time, he conveyed his brother-in-law's intention in front of Tang Huaijin.
The Cheng Family wanted to take their daughter back.
The reason was that Xiuxiiu was sick and wouldn't live long. She missed her daughter and wanted her daughter to go back to fulfill her filial duties.
Tang Huaijin's face darkened when he heard this. He pushed Wu Laosi with his hand. "Hurry up and leave. Don't talk about this in my house. Tell him not to think about it.
We raised our daughter. It has nothing to do with his family. "
Wu Laosi didn't have any face left.
This time, Tang Huaijin's attitude was cold. He didn't even pour him a sip of water or bring him a stool. He just chased him away like a plague.
Wu Laosi was a rational person. He refused to leave and reasoned with Tang Huaijin. "But you can't be unreasonable, right?
It was just that Xiuxiu 'er couldn't take it anymore and wanted to see her daughter.
She gave birth to her own child, so this request is nothing.
Xiuxiiu has been missing her daughter all these years. How many times has she cried when she saw us and said that she missed her daughter?
Can't you just let her go and see her? "
His words made Tang Huaijin's wife's heart soften. She almost agreed and said embarrassedly, "Old Tang, why don't you let her go and see her? She's dying.
She's quite pitiful. "
However, Tang Huaijin's attitude was firm. "Don't talk to me about that.
If she wants her daughter, she should have kept her. She shouldn't have given her away. Since she has given her away, don't talk nonsense.
Don't use these words to scare people.
Do you think I don't know that with Xiuxiiu's temperament, she can't make decisions in the Cheng Family?
If she wants a daughter, the Cheng Family will find her a daughter?
I think it's obvious that Xiuxiiu is dying. The Cheng Family wants this daughter to be a laborer because there's no one at home to work.
Who doesn't know his family's character? Don't think I can't see through his thoughts.
That was impossible. Tell him to stop dreaming.
The daughter that I raised had been eating at my house for so many years. I couldn't even bear to order her around, let alone let him order her around.
Wherever I go, I follow the same logic. "
Cheng Cheng and Tang Yanhua went to the field to pick cucumbers and came back. When they saw the person from last time, she was arguing with her father loudly.
Cheng Cheng only heard the last few words. "Mom, what happened?
What is Daddy talking about? "
Tang Huaijin's wife frowned and called out to Tang Yanhua, "Yanhua, this adult has something to do. Take your sister out to play for a while."
Tang Yanhua did not understand either. But when he saw his mother's pale face, he quickly said, "Okay."
She put down the basket, took Cheng Cheng's hand and walked around the wall. "Mom told us not to go home. Let's go to Mrs. Wang's house first."
Cheng Cheng said, "Brother, what's that guy doing?
Why are they here again?
We've seen him last time. "
Tang Yanhua said, "I don't understand either. Maybe he's here to borrow money."
Cheng Cheng said, "Why did someone who wants to borrow money come to our house to argue?
Didn't Mom tell us to call him uncle last time? "
Cheng Cheng was coaxed to go to Mrs. Wang's house by Tang Yanhua. Tang Yanhua said, "You stay here and play. I'll go home and eavesdrop on what they're talking about."
Cheng Cheng said, "I'll go too."
Tang Yanhua said, "Mom told you not to go back. You're not allowed to go. I'll go.
If he wants to fight, I can help Dad. "
Cheng Cheng was reluctant. What secret was there? Why didn't she let her hear it?
But she did not dare to disobey her mother. She could only watch as Tang Yanhua slipped home.
When Tang Yanhua arrived at the door, Wu Laosi was still there and was still arguing.
Tang Yanhua stood at the side and did not say anything. She just listened from afar.
She heard him talk about the Cheng Family, Xiuxiu, daughter, and so on.
Tang Yanhua wondered who Xiuxiu was. Why did he keep talking about this person?
And daughter? Who was the daughter they were talking about?
Dad was also talking about his daughter. He kept saying that he raised her and that she ate his family's food.
Tang Yanhua was secretly worried. There was only one daughter who ate his family's food. Who else could it be other than Cheng Cheng?
Could it be that Dad raised a daughter and he didn't know?
That was impossible.
Could it be Cheng Cheng?
Tang Huaijin was angry. He took a broom and was about to hit someone. Wu Laosi blocked him with his hands and said hurriedly while retreating, "It's no use getting angry at me. I'm just helping Cheng Cheng Cheng Cheng Cheng to pass the message.
This is between you and his family. It has nothing to do with me. "
Tang Huaijin pointed at him and said, "It has nothing to do with you. Then hurry up and get lost."
Wu Laosi said, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll get lost. Next time, he comes to you himself. You can discuss it yourselves."
Wu Laosi did not stay for more than a minute. After he finished speaking, he immediately hurried out of the door and ran away.
Tang Yanhua was stunned. "Mom, what did he mean?"
Tang Huaijin threw the broom away and went into the house angrily.
Tang Yanhua walked up to his mother and asked.
He was very smart and not a stupid child. Just now, he had vaguely heard most of it and almost believed it.
Tang Huaijin's wife did not hide it from her son. She sighed and said, "That was Cheng Cheng's uncle. He's from Xiuxiu's family."
Tang Yanhua said, "Cheng Cheng's uncle, isn't he my uncle?
Why don't I know him? "
Tang Huaijin's wife did not answer. She sighed and bent over tiredly to go into the kitchen.
Tang Yanhua followed her and saw his mother sitting in front of the stove to make a fire. She was holding a withered cypress branch in her hand.
Tang Yanhua walked to the stove uneasily and stood in front of it. "Mom, tell me. I won't tell my sister."
Tang Yanhua walked up and held his mother's sleeve. "Mom …"
Tang Huaijin's wife sighed. "I didn't know that the Cheng Family would be in such a mess."
Tang Yanhua had already guessed that something was wrong. "Mom, what's going on?
Tell me about it. "
Tang Huaijin's wife said helplessly, "I didn't plan to hide this from you. I would have told you sooner or later. But your sister is still young. I'm afraid that she will be suspicious if she knows.
Your sister is not my biological daughter. She was adopted from someone else's family when she was young. Her surname is Cheng. "
Tang Yanhua had never thought of this.
He and Cheng Cheng were close since they were young. His parents also doted on Cheng Cheng and were not biased at all.
There were even people who said that he and Cheng Cheng looked alike, as if they were biological siblings.
Who knew that his mother would suddenly say that Cheng Cheng was not her biological daughter and was adopted by someone else?
Tang Yanhua suddenly felt a little uneasy. "Mom, then am I adopted too?"
Tang Huaijin's wife hugged him and patted his head from head to back, then from back to hands. She said sympathetically, "No, you're not. You're our biological daughter.
You're our only child. You're our lifeline. "
Tang Huaijin's wife hugged Yan Hua and said, "Cheng Cheng's life wasn't good. She was a girl, and her family was poor when she was born. Her mother was a fool and was bullied by others. Her father was a good-for-nothing.
Her grandparents didn't want her either. They thought that she was useless and a waste of food.
You have a good life. Your mother loves you, and so does your father. Even if they have to suffer, they won't let you suffer. "
At that moment, Tang Yanhua actually felt a little lucky.
He thought, 'Fortunately, I'm their biological daughter and not adopted.'
Children subconsciously felt that being adopted was not a good thing. Children would only feel close to their biological parents.
If they were not biological parents, they would always feel that they would not be happy. There would be estrangement, abuse, and no real love.
If their parents did not want them, how pitiful would that be?
"Then what about my sister?"
After Tang Yanhua felt lucky for himself, he began to worry about his sister.
His sister was not his biological daughter. Was she going to leave?
If the Cheng Family wanted his sister back, would she return to the Cheng Family in the future?
There was an indescribable sadness in his heart. He and his sister grew up together. She was his biological sister. Even if they were not related by blood, he could not bear to part with her like this.
"Mom, I don't want my sister to leave. Can you tell Dad not to send her back to the Cheng Family?"
Tang Yanhua begged his mother. "If she leaves, there will be one less person in the family.
I still want to go to school with her. "
Tang Huaijin's wife patted his head and comforted him. "It's okay. Don't worry.
Your father and I will not agree to this.
Cheng Cheng has been in our family for so many years. She's already grown up. How can we let her go back just because he says so? "
Tang Yanhua was happy. "There's no difference. Anyway, Cheng Cheng won't go back to the Cheng Family.
As long as she's in our family, our family will be the same as before. "
Tang Huaijin's wife smiled. "We definitely can't let her go back.
Your father said that if she wants to go back, she has to return all the grains that she has eaten all these years. Our family will not raise her for nothing. "
Tang Yanhua said, "She eats so much. She definitely can't afford to return it."
Tang Huaijin's wife saw that her son was still innocent and childish. She could not help but smile bitterly and said, "Okay, go out and play. Where's your sister?
Call her back.
Don't play until it's dark. Come back and wash your hands. We'll cook dinner later. "
Tang Yanhua ran to Wang Yao's mother-in-law's house and called Cheng Cheng back.
Cheng Cheng felt that her parents had been mysterious recently. "Brother, what are they talking about?
Why won't I listen? "
Tang Yanhua pulled her hand and ran home. "Don't worry about it. It has nothing to do with you."
Cheng Cheng was not stupid. In fact, she vaguely guessed that this stranger's arrival had something to do with her. However, she did not know the reason and did not dare to ask. "Brother, what are they talking about?
Are they talking about me? "
Tang Yanhua said, "Don't worry. It has nothing to do with you. Dad and Mom will take care of it themselves."
Tang Yanhua vowed that it had nothing to do with Cheng Cheng. Cheng Cheng was relieved.
Tang Yanhua pulled her back to the laundry counter and played with the soap.
Tang Yanhua washed her dirty socks while Cheng Cheng rubbed her underwear.
Although Tang Yanhua said that it was nothing, Cheng Cheng could still see that her parents were unhappy.
She had always been bold and did not hide anything from them. However, she did not know why she did not dare to ask today. It was as if something terrible would happen if she asked.
That night, her mother cooked noodles for the whole family to eat.
Tang Huaijin and his wife left home, saying that they had something to do at the brigade.
Usually, when they went out at night, they would clearly tell them where they were going, what they were going to do, and when they would be back. However, this time, they did not say anything and only asked Tang Yanhua to take Cheng Cheng to bed.
Tang Yanhua was tight-lipped and did not say anything. She closed the door and boiled water to wash her face with her sister.
Cheng Cheng felt uneasy. She felt that her parents were hiding something from her.
"What is it that you can't let me know?
You can all listen, but I can't. "
She was still thinking about this.
Tang Yanhua felt guilty and comforted her. "Don't think so much. I don't know what's going on either.
Dad and Mom didn't tell me when they went out.
They must be doing it for our own good. "
Cheng Cheng said, "I was talking about this afternoon.
That uncle, he said that he was my uncle. Since when do I have an uncle?
Don't we only have one uncle?
We don't usually interact with each other. Why did he suddenly appear? "
