After Teacher Xie Nan stood up, he forced out a sad smile.
"You are Xiaocao's savior and you raised her up. You are her parents. I will never let Xiaocao know this in my life."
After a pause, Xie Nan added: "I feel relieved that you treat Xiaocao like your own daughter. Brother, sister-in-law, I will return to the capital tomorrow, and you will pretend you have never seen me!"
After Xie Nan finished speaking, she covered her face and cried.
To say such words is tantamount to heartbreaking pain for Xie Nan.
But she must say this.
It is better for one person to suffer than for everyone to suffer.
Su Xiaotian couldn't help but cover her face with her hands, tears falling from her fingers.
Is this how a mother loves her daughter?
In order to ensure that her daughter would always be healthy and happy, she traveled thousands of miles to Nanling Village.
But when he was sure that Xiaocao was his daughter, he chose not to recognize her daughter.
"Sister, are you serious? You really don't want to recognize Xiaocao?" the village chief's wife asked in disbelief.
As a mother, she felt that if it were herself, she would definitely not choose this way.
Xie Nan shook his head in pain: "It's not that I don't want to recognize Xiaocao, but I don't want to make Xiaocao sad."
Although she didn't have much contact with Xiaocao, she could feel that the child was a delicate and sensitive child.
Through a brief contact, she could also feel Xiaocao's love for her parents at home.
She almost didn't dare to think about how sad she would be if she knew that she was not her parents' biological child.
Su Changjiu and his wife, who were originally worried that Xie Nan would snatch their child, now felt embarrassed.
They feel like sinners.
Let others separate mother and daughter.
The couple looked at each other.
Xie Nan couldn't bear the torture, so she turned around and left.
Su Xiaotian hurriedly followed.
However, at this moment, the village chief's wife quickly stopped Xie Nan.
"Sister, I'm not cruel, it's just..."
"I understand, sister-in-law, thank you for raising the grass so well. I will remember your kindness. If I have a chance in the next life, I will make a grass ring to repay you and my elder brother."
The village chief and his wife were both kind-hearted people, and they couldn't bear to see Xie Nan in pain.
The two of them looked at each other.
The village chief's wife said: "Now that we have arrived at our house, we will stay at home for one night. It's already this time. You are unfamiliar with this place. Where can you go? Besides, you should also want to see what Xiaocao's home is like.
What is it like."
Su Xiaotian was stunned. She was still looking like a sworn enemy. How long has it been since then? How come her style of painting has changed?
Xie Nan looked at the village chief's wife intently.
"sister in law……"
"This is fate, whether it's a bad fate or a good fate, it's still fate! Tonight, you will live in Xiaocao's house."
Xie Nan didn't know what to say, so in the end, he could only murmur his thanks.
The village chief's wife looked at Xie Nan's red and swollen eyes and said with pity: "Such a beautiful person is crying like this. I will get you water, you wash your face, and I will boil an egg for you. I heard someone say, get out of here."
Roll your eyes and they won’t be swollen.”
What style of painting is this?
Su Xiaotian looked at the village chief's wife with an expression of disbelief.
Just now, you looked like you wanted Teacher Xie Nan to leave as soon as possible. How come you are so enthusiastic again after just a short while?
I also boiled eggs for Teacher Xie Nan to rub her eyes.
Even if things go well in the past two years, eggs are still precious.
"Aunt, you..."
The village chief's wife glared at Su Xiaotian angrily and said, "Didn't you wash all the foreign persimmons earlier? Why don't you go and bring them to your teacher?"
Teacher Xie Nan hurriedly said: "No, I'm not hungry!"
"You city people are all very particular about eating fruits. In the countryside, we don't have anything delicious. Just these foreign persimmons, grown at home, taste good, no worse than fruits!"
Su Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh, and quickly went out to carry some persimmons.
Outside the gate, there were many people. When they heard the movement in the village chief's yard, they all stretched their heads and looked in, but they only saw Su Xiaotian.
Then, the village chief was seen coming out of the main room.
But the two women they thought were at the center of the conversation didn't even go out.
The village chief walked into the yard and stood under the big pear tree, looking up at the dense green leaves on the tree without saying a word.
The people in the village were indeed curious, but no one dared to break in directly.
In the main room, the village chief's wife poured face wash for Teacher Xie Nan and found a clean towel.
"This is Xiaocao's towel. I don't have any new ones at home, so you can make do with it."
Teacher Xie Nan quickly thanked her, washed her face, took the towel Xiaocao had used, and wiped it carefully on her face.
But Su Xiaotian felt that Teacher Xie Nan regarded this towel as her daughter?
The village chief’s wife also noticed.
She couldn't help but feel sad.
They are all mothers.
Suddenly, the village chief's wife remembered something and asked.
"Sister, you said you don't recognize your daughter, can your family agree?"
When Su Xiaotian walked in, she happened to hear these words, and her heart tightened immediately.
These words hurt Teacher Xie Nan's lungs, but she couldn't say anything.
I could only look at Teacher Xie Nan nervously.
"I have no family, I'm alone!"
The village chief's wife was stunned.
She glanced at Su Xiaotian, but Su Xiaotian couldn't tell her the reason at this time.
"Sister, where is your man?" asked the village chief's wife.
Su Xiaotian was almost holding her forehead, but most of the women in the village were straightforward, so it was not surprising that she could ask such a question.
Teacher Xie Nan looked out at the distant mountains through the curtain made of bamboo branches.
"Gone!"
The village chief's wife didn't know what to say anymore.
She wished she could slap herself in the mouth and poke people's lungs with all the questions she asked!
After a while, she said quietly: "I'm sorry, sister, I don't know."
Xie Nan smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, it's all over."
She didn't want to continue this topic, and the village chief's wife also noticed it.
She was busy looking for another topic.
"Sister, how did you lose your child in the first place?"
The child was even taken away by a dog!
Su Xiaotian wanted to go up and talk to the village chief's wife, asking her to stop saying these things that made Teacher Xie Nan unable to answer.
Su Xiaotian didn't know how Teacher Xie Nan lost her child.
But it is conceivable that an unmarried woman gave birth to a child in such an environment.
For Teacher Xie Nan, she probably doesn’t want to mention even a word about this past event, right?
However, just when Su Xiaotian was thinking about how to round off this statement, Xie Nan spoke.
"After giving birth to the child, I was so weak that I fainted on the side of the road. When I woke up, the child was gone. I looked for the child like crazy, but couldn't find it."
After saying this, there was a slight pause.
"Later, I left. It was my fault that I didn't look for the child properly."
Thinking about it now, she regretted it, but at the time she really made up her mind and left.
