Gong Xue never believed that she had the ability to change a person's nature. Even if she did, it would not be possible to completely change a person's deep-rooted values and outlook on life that have been cultivated for decades.
She couldn't change Zhang Suqin, but she still wanted to use Gong Tao to warn her second aunt, to leave an inch in everything so that they could meet each other easily in the future. In ten years in Hexi and ten in Hedong, things have changed, and the ups and downs are unpredictable...
People can be selfish and snobbish for themselves and their families, but they cannot cross moral boundaries.
One thought becomes a Buddha, and one thought becomes a demon. The devil and the Buddha are not separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. There is only a thin and transparent window paper between them. It does not take a lifetime to become a demon, and it does not take a lifetime to become a Buddha.
It takes a lifetime. In just a flash of thought, you can leap to heaven or fall to hell.
Gong Xue waited for Zhang Suqin to calm down, and then took the initiative to say in a gentle tone that she had never used before: "Second Aunt, you must hate me very much now!"
Zhang Suqin's body trembled, but she lowered her head and remained motionless.
Gong Xue smiled, "It's okay to hate me. I want you to always remember that it was me, Gong Xue, who made you humiliated in public, humiliated in front of Taotao, humiliated in front of Aunt Tian!"
"You can hate me and curse me, even if you hate me for the rest of your life, it doesn't matter, but I don't allow you to hurt Aunt Tian! What kind of person Aunt Tian is? Grandpa's will has been written very clearly. She can do it in Gong
Having a place in the family inheritance proves that she is a relative recognized by grandpa. Do you know what it means? Relatives are not just the second uncle and Gong Tao that you can tolerate in your heart, but also me and Aunt Tian,
We are also your relatives, Second Aunt, can you understand?"
Zhang Suqin still didn't speak, but her arrogant and domineering arrogance was virtually eliminated.
Today, the lessons and blows she has received are several times more than the tribulations she has received in her life combined.
Gong Xue suppressed her smile and her tone suddenly became sharp, "I don't want to hear any insulting words about Aunt Tian in the Gong family. If what happened tonight happens again, then I can only say sorry to the second aunt.
"
Zhang Suqin raised her head and said in panic: "No! I promise I won't scold her again!!"
Gong Xue's attitude suddenly softened, and she even showed a smile, "Okay, now that we've finished talking about Aunt Tian, let's talk about the will."
Zhang Suqin blinked in fear, "Didn't we agree?"
"It's agreed, but I want to add two more items."
"Then tell me." Zhang Suqin leaned forward.
"First, I will not cancel grandpa's will." Gong Xue said calmly.
Zhang Suqin's eyes suddenly opened to their maximum size, so horribly wide that Gong Xue could only see the whites of her eyes occupying the second aunt's eyes. She trembled her lips, "Do you want the money back?"
Gong Xue shook her head and said: "Listen to what I have to say. The first one is that I will not cancel grandpa's will. The second one is that all the savings you take from me will be used for Taotao, including him.
Future studies, work, and marriage are all possible.
Use this money conditionally, but if you use it in places I don’t know, or use it to benefit you and your wife, I’m sorry, I will take it back in one go, and I will also add interest. Second Aunt,
Do you understand? The principal and interest will be recovered."
Zhang Suqin's face turned from green to yellow, and then from yellow to green again. After turning back and forth several times, she squeezed out one word through her teeth, "Okay."
For Taotao, she would risk anything.
Isn't it just that she and her husband are not allowed to spend this money? As long as Taotao can use it, it will be worth it no matter how hard it is for her and her husband.
Normally, the shrewd Zhang Suqin would have asked her niece to write another signature and seal it, but today, restricted by Mr. Gong's will, she did not dare to make any unreasonable demands to her niece.
After being tortured, Zhang Suqin took off her burden and wanted to leave, but after taking two steps, she turned back and said, "Xiaoxue, there is one more thing..."
Gong Xue saw the way she was hesitant to speak, and knew that it would not be a good thing.
Sure enough, "Your second uncle applied to be transferred back to the head office in the neighboring city. I'm afraid, the transfer order will come out next week... As soon as we leave... you..." Taotao lives on campus, so it won't be too difficult. The key is Xiaoxue
, she will take the college entrance examination next month, and it is impossible for her to follow them back to the neighboring city.
Gong Xue did not show surprise at the news that her uncle and aunt were going to leave her and go back to the neighboring city. Instead, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it would be good to leave, at least she and Aunt Tian could be clean.
"Second Aunt, don't worry about me. I'm about to take the college entrance examination, and I won't go anywhere. As for the future, I only have a home in Mobei, and I won't cause trouble to Second Aunt." She definitely won't follow her uncle and aunt.
If she goes to live in a neighboring city, even if she gets married in the future, she will only have her natal family in Mobei.
Zhang Suqin's expression changed after hearing this. She seemed to have something else to say, but after Gong Xue waited for a long time, Zhang Suqin opened her mouth and went upstairs without saying anything.
Gong Xue went back to the bedroom, opened the door and saw Gong Tao crying.
Aunt Tian held him tightly, fearing that he would rush out and cause some big trouble.
It turned out that the two people who were worried that Gong Xue and Zhang Suqin were talking alone quietly opened the door and had been eavesdropping. After hearing the two requests made by Gong Xue, Gong Tao couldn't suppress the anger in his chest and wanted to go out and fight his mother.
, Aunt Tian tried her best to hold him back, so he didn't cause any trouble.
Gong Xue signaled Aunt Tian to let go of Gong Tao. As soon as Aunt Tian let go of her arm, Gong Tao immediately rushed towards the door like a small cannonball.
"Taotao! If you step out of this door, I won't recognize you!" Gong Xue sat motionless, knowing that for Gong Tao, there was nothing more cruel a blow than leaving him behind.
Gong Tao bounced back like a leopard, and his tears fell all over the floor. He couldn't control his emotions and shouted at Gong Xue, "Sister! I can't bear it anymore! My mother...my mother...she...
..It’s so bullying...wuwu...!”
It is said that men never shed tears easily. Who knows the bitterness and sweetness behind strength, and who knows the tears and joy behind perseverance...
The tears falling down are the unbroken blood and family ties, and Taotao's endless regret and guilt towards his sister...
Gong Xue caressed Taotao who was lying on her lap crying and tried to calm down her choked voice, "I'm sorry, Taotao, sister, I'm sorry for you."
She actually took the initiative to say sorry to Gong Tao?
What's wrong with her? What's wrong with her!
Gong Tao shook his head violently, refusing to accept...
His sister has always been his idol. She is strong, brave, kind, affectionate and righteous. She does many things that even men would be ashamed of. In order to fulfill her mother's greed, she actually gave up everything!
Why should such an excellent sister apologize to him!
