There was a sound on the door, and Grandpa turned around and saw Min Hao coming in accompanied by Han Xiaotao.
"You're back?" Grandpa looked at Xiao Tao and asked, but Xiao Tao only replied dully. Grandpa looked at Min Hao helplessly. Min Hao shook his head, smiled again, and motioned to leave it to him.
Min Hao pulled Xiao Tao into her bedroom and poured her a glass of water. He was as familiar as the man of the house. "Drink some water first, don't think so much." He sat down next to Xiao Tao and hugged her.
Looking over his shoulder, he watched her finish the water, sighed again, and said, "You have such a fiery personality that you don't know whether to say yes or no. You really dare to do things that others don't dare to do."
"That is your biological sister and a friend of all of us. How can you just watch her throw away her own happiness like this? I really don't understand why Sister Huaijin insists on doing this." Han Xiaotao said dejectedly.
I originally thought that Sister Huaijin just couldn't think about it for a moment, so I stood up to wake her up before everything was too late. But I didn't expect that Sister Huaijin would never change her mind. Could it be that for Sister Huaijin, everything between her and Jin Enzhe
Is it really not worth cherishing?
"I also find it very strange. Not only my sister's behavior, but also the atmosphere in the whole family is a bit strange. I feel that this matter is by no means as simple as it seems. But now it is done, and it is useless for us to say anything. In fact,
After all, the saddest person right now should be Enzhe. He has not been out in the open all day, and his phone is turned off. He is staying there alone, and he doesn’t know if there will be any problems." Minhao sighed, thinking all the time.
The thoughts he had been holding back were revealed at this moment. He had ten thousand objections to this marriage. If he hadn't been concerned about the face of his mother and the Cui family, he wouldn't have endured it until now.
"I promised Elder Enzhe to bring Sister Huaijin to him, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I really don't know how Elder Enzhe feels now." Han Xiaotao frowned and said worriedly.
Min Hao hugged Xiao Tao's shoulders and frowned tightly. Of course he knew what it felt like, because like his sister, he faced family troubles. He took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, I won't
Let you face this. Believe me, I will not follow the path of my sister. No matter how difficult it is, I will persevere for you. I believe that where there is sincerity, there is a golden stone. Even if it is for the Cui family, it is not necessary.
By marriage or by myself, I can make the Cui family continue to be glorious."
Han Xiaotao raised her head and looked at Min Hao, finally feeling a little relieved. She leaned on Min Hao's shoulder, her eyes moist, and murmured: "I think of my mother. She must have been so helpless back then.
That’s why I feel so heartbroken when I think of Sister Huaijin and Elder Enzhi. There are lovers in the world, why should they be separated? Is Yue Lao really blinded?"
"Maybe this is the so-called fate. Fate and fate are indispensable." Min Hao lowered his head and looked at Xiao Tao, "I believe that we are destined, so we can definitely persist until the end."
Han Xiaotao finally managed to laugh. She opened the drawer and took out the photo with her mother. "I also believe that my mother's spirit in heaven will definitely bless us. She will not let such a tragedy happen again."
Min Hao saw Han Xiaotao's mother for the first time. She was a woman with delicate features and a gentle face with a hint of fatigue. He knew that she was also a woman who had gone through many vicissitudes of life. "Your mother is very strong. That's probably why, Xiaotao, you
That’s why you’re so optimistic and cheerful, right?”
"Yes. I still remember that back then, my adoptive father was fond of gambling and lost all the property that my grandfather worked for when he was young, including the peach garden. He was also addicted to alcohol and would take it out on my mother when he was drunk. But my mother always protected me.
No matter what, you won't let me get hurt. My mother works a lot of part-time jobs outside to support the family, and she also uses it for my father to gamble and drink. When he has no money, he is especially cruel to my mother." Han Xiaotao.
As he spoke, his eyes turned red. "That day, my mother had just received her salary and she was very happy. She said that she felt sorry for me to live in such a family. She wanted to compensate me and decided to take me there that day.
We had a good meal at a western restaurant. Unexpectedly, my adoptive father came after me and asked for money, but my mother was unwilling to give it. She even said she wanted to divorce him, so he said a lot of unpleasant things..."
Those scenes in her memory pounced on Han Xiaotao like a scourge, tearing at her heart.
It was a really gloomy day. Although the lights in the western restaurant were so bright, they were so bright that the young Han Xiaotao felt a little dazzling. The restaurant was full of people, watching the farce. The adoptive father's voice was very loud, and every word was spoken.
Like a knife piercing the heart of a child who is not yet sensible.
"You slut, you have money to support a pretty boy, why don't you give it to me? I am your husband!"
"Broomstick, ever since you entered our Han family's house, my luck has been getting worse day by day."
"I'll beat you shameless things to death!"
The scene was chaotic. Han Xiaotao cried for her mother, and her vision blurred by tears could only see two people struggling together. The adoptive father grabbed his mother's hair and banged it against the wall, pushed her to the ground and kicked her with his feet.
The pieces and the salad that had just been served were scattered all over the floor; the restaurant was filled with people, screams and roars.
"Mom! Mom!" Han Xiaotao rushed forward and tried to pull away the irritable adoptive father. However, the red-eyed adoptive father just roughly pushed Han Xiaotao's young body away, then picked up the fallen table knife from the ground and stabbed it straight in.
On the mother's belly.
Han Xiaotao fell to the ground and heard the woman's screams and frightened screams.
"Blood...a lot of blood...a lot of blood flowed out from my mother's body." Han Xiaotao covered her ears, as if in this way she could block out the noisy sounds. Women and men were discussing, and someone was shouting "Kill!"
, there was a siren outside the restaurant. Everything was chaotic, and it still stimulates Han Xiaotao's heart to this day.
Cui Minhao hugged Han Xiaotao's trembling body and said loudly: "It's okay, it's okay, everything is over. No one will bully you again, and I will never let anyone bully you again."
Han Xiaotao's tears fell on the back of Min Hao's hand. She breathed heavily to dispel the oppressive haze in her chest. She buried her head in Min Hao's arms and said vaguely: "I never dare to tell others this.
.I don’t dare to think about it or look at my mother’s photo. Why...why does God do this to her and to me? What did we do wrong?" She held the old photo tightly in her hand.
The old group photo seems to be scratching the photo, and there are also those unbearable memories.
Min Hao pressed her body tightly, trying to calm her down. While stroking her back, he comforted her and said, "You are all right. What is wrong is that this world has distorted love and marriage. Everything will be fine.
Get up, silly girl. Aren't you always strong and optimistic? After crying, you have to cheer up." He had not seen with his own eyes the scene that lingered in Han Xiaotao's mind, but he could feel Han Xiaotao's fear.
heart. What kind of shadow must be left in the heart of a child who witnessed his mother being killed by his adoptive father. He finally fully understood Han Xiaotao's previous hesitation. She was not sure about love and marriage, and she couldn't believe it easily.
. He understood better what he wanted to do. She had mustered up the greatest courage and made the greatest bet to give her heart to him. How could he let her lose this?
Grandpa stood quietly outside the bedroom door, letting out a slight sigh.
The night began to quiet down.
Tired of crying, Han Xiaotao curled up into a small ball and nestled in the quilt, with silver tears on her face.
Min Hao sat on the edge of the bed, gently smoothed her frowning brows in her sleep, tucked her in the quilt, and whispered in her heart: Silly girl. He lowered his eyes, and she still held the photo in her hand.
A thought flashed through Min Hao's mind. He carefully opened her hand and took out the photo, put it in his pocket, then turned off the light and walked out.
"Is she asleep?" Grandpa was still in the living room, drinking soju alone. When he saw Min Hao coming out, he asked dully.
Minhao nodded.
"Come, sit with the old man for a while." Grandpa sighed and pointed to the empty seat opposite.
Min Hao did not refuse, sat down opposite his grandfather and let him pour wine into the cup.
"Xiao Tao is a sensible child. So the scene of her mother's death left a deep impression on her. However, this child usually carries everything by herself. If I can tell you today, it seems that she really relies on you.
"Grandpa said while drinking.
"I will give her a shoulder to rely on. No matter what her past is, I will also try to make her future full of beautiful scenery." Cui Minhao said firmly.
Grandpa nodded and said: "I have lived for most of my life, and the only thing I can't worry about now is this granddaughter. Although we are not related by blood, we have been dependent on each other for so many years. I have long regarded Xiaotao as my own granddaughter. I am also very fond of it."
I want her to be happy. Although I didn’t think you were the ideal candidate at first, but now it seems that you are the only person who can possibly make her happy." When grandpa said this, he paused and raised his head to look at Min.
Hao. "What I mean is to get true happiness. It's not about accommodating, not forcing, and it's not about choosing between loving and being loved, but cherishing each other."
Min Hao knew his grandfather's concerns. He nodded and said, "I remember my grandfather asked me a question before. I think I should be able to give you a satisfactory answer now. I love her, not only to be with her at all times."
Stand aside and let her feel the happiness of this world, so that our love can be recognized and blessed by everyone."
Grandpa was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly, picked up the wine glass and had a drink with Min Hao, then took out a chain from his arms and handed it to Cui Min Hao. "This was left by her mother back then, because she was worried that Xiao Tao would have a shadow in her heart, so
I haven't taken it out yet. I hope that one day, when you get married, you can hand it to her with your own hands. In this way, the knot in Xiao Tao's heart can probably be resolved."
Min Hao held the chain in his hand and felt a heavy feeling in his heart. He knew that this was not only a hope, but also an entrustment. Even his grandfather said that he wanted to see the day they get married, which meant that his grandfather had approved their marriage.
Love. Then, he would have succeeded in taking the first step. He secretly swore in his heart that there would be such a day.
