Tang Guirong hesitated, not wanting to tell the truth, and Ji Momo sneered.
"Did Ji Bingbing look for you?"
"Ah?" Tang Guirong's face turned pale and he was panicked.
"I guessed it right."
Seeing that he could not hide anything, Tang Guirong had no choice but to tell the truth.
They also have a two-bedroom house in a nearby town, which Tang Guirong bought with his hard-earned money from working, more than 40,000 yuan, just so that he could study and become a talented person at the end of the season.
Later, after the child-changing scandal occurred, people who knew her were either envious or ridiculed.
At first, everyone thought that the rich people in the city would be grateful to her for treating their daughter well and give her a sum of money to improve her life.
But he didn't expect Tang Guirong to reject their kindness.
The adopted daughter left, and the biological daughter didn't want to come back. So she fetched water from a bamboo basket, but it was all in vain.
The people in the town pointed fingers, which made Tang Guirong suffer a lot. When he was about to go back to the village, two people came.
One of them is Ji Bingbing.
She wore a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, and wrapped herself so tightly that Tang Guirong didn't even see her face.
Ji Bingbing has only one request, let her go back to the countryside and never show up again.
As a last resort, Tang Guirong sold his house at a low price, moved back to the village, and promised never to go to the city to look for her.
"Why are you so stupid?"
She was saddened by her misfortune and angry that she would not fight. Ji Momo said that he would take her to the city for treatment, which frightened Tang Guirong and shook his head.
"I'll just take a few painkillers and I'll be fine. I won't go to the city."
"Mo Mo, you can go back early tomorrow morning. Mom is fine."
Feeling sorry for his daughter who had been riding in the car all day, Tang Guirong quickly lit a fire to cook and served her a bowl of noodles.
It tastes delicious at the end of the season.
How delicious can noodles cooked in plain water be? This was just her comfort to Tang Guirong.
The two of them were huddled together on a broken wooden bed, covered with shabby quilts.
Tang Guirong rambled on, telling her what had happened in the past six months. Accompanied by her voice, Ji Momo fell asleep after a while.
Early the next morning, Tang Guirong borrowed two eggs from her neighbor's house and made her a bowl of egg water.
"You can eat, I'm not hungry."
Unable to resist his daughter, Tang Guirong had no choice but to pick up the bowl.
"After eating, follow me into the city."
"No, no!" Tang Guirong shook his head like a rattle.
"It's fine for me in the country. Mo Mo, please go back. Don't make your parents unhappy. Study hard. Mom is satisfied if you can come back to visit me."
"If you are sick, get treatment as soon as possible. Do you want to wait for death in the countryside?"
"Mo Mo, mom just has this problem all the time. Just take some medicine and she'll be fine. It's not serious."
"Whether it's serious or not, the doctor has the final say."
"No, Mom really doesn't want to go."
Tang Guirong refused to follow her, and Ji Momo suddenly said, "To tell you the truth, I had a very bad life at Ji's house."
"They don't like me. They think I have a bad temper and a stupid brain. They always compare me with your own daughter, don't let me eat, and even tie me up and beat me."
Ji Momo rolled up his sleeves to let her see. Tang Guirong said "ah" and looked at the scars on her wrists in horror.
"Momo?"
"Did you see that? You never hit me or scolded me when I was around you."
"It was my birthday the day before yesterday. They thought I was embarrassed, so they locked me in a dark room and starved me for three days."
"Your daughter Ji Bingbing fell down the stairs on purpose. She falsely accused me of pushing her. She plans to join forces with outsiders to kill me so that she can become a real rich lady."
Tang Guirong was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After a long while, he gently rubbed Ji Momo's wrist.
"Mo Mo, they shouldn't, shouldn't treat you like this..."
