"They have gone too far. No, I have to save her." Bai Lu said.
Seeing his mother was about to walk out the door, Jin Bao anxiously held her hand and said, "Mom, don't go. Not only will you not be able to save your aunt, but you will also suffer."
"Jin Bao is right," Su Wennian said, "Mom, you can't go!"
Everyone understood in their hearts why Xu Fengjiao was taken away and why she was spit on by everyone.
Bai Lu bit her lower lip, thinking that she could not harm her child, and nodded, "Okay, I won't go, I will stay at home."
For a period of time, everyone in the Su family was trembling with fear. Everyone was most afraid of someone knocking on the door.
One night, there was a sudden knock on the door, which startled everyone.
"I'll open the door." Su Xiaowu jumped out of bed, ran to the door, and opened it.
The man standing outside the door looked like a ghost, half of his hair was very long, and the other half was shaved bald.
After staring at her for a long time, Su Xiaowu said in surprise: "Aunt?"
"Hello, Xiao Wu, are your parents at home?"
"Here..."
Su Xiaowu turned around and called home: "Mom, Dad, aunt is here."
Su Jianmin originally thought about hiding his wife, but he was relieved when he heard that the person coming was Xu Fengjiao.
When they walked out of the room and saw Xu Fengjiao, they almost couldn't recognize her.
She was as thin as skin and bones, and her face was sunken.
Xu Fengjiao is the most beautiful person. She used to put on makeup and nail polish when she went out. Now her face is bloodless and her nails are full of black mud.
"Mom." Bai Xing cried.
"It's great that you are here. Mom thought she would never see you again."
The mother and daughter hugged each other, and Xu Fengjiao cried and said: "Your aunt is a kind person and is willing to take you in..."
"I'm only staying here temporarily, Mom, shall we go home?"
"Go home? Where is the home?" Xu Fengjiao said weakly, "Our home has been burned down. It burned for a day and a night. Everything was burned down. There is nothing left."
Bai Lu was shocked, "What? The Bai family's house was burned down?"
That was the house she had lived in since she was a child. She had lived there as long as she could remember. Suddenly she heard that the entire house was burned down. Her eyes were filled with tears and she felt like her heart was bleeding.
Jin Bao also felt very distressed. Why did such a beautiful house burn down? It was such a waste.
"Your sister and your brother-in-law went to their hometown in Jiangxi to seek refuge. Did you know?" Xu Fengjiao took out a note and said, "Their home was also burned down and their money was confiscated. Your sister wanted to say goodbye to me before she left, but
He didn't dare to talk to me, so he secretly stuffed a note into me."
Passing the note to the second daughter, she added: "Your sister and brother-in-law are poor, but I feel more at ease. Now the only one who is worried is you. You can't do any work. How can you live alone?"
"
"Mom, what are you talking about? Don't I still have you?"
As if she didn't hear her, Xu Fengjiao changed the subject and said, "Myolie, your biggest problem is your gluttony. Girls can't be too fat. Too fat doesn't look good. Do you understand?"
Bai Xing choked and said: "I'm not greedy, I will listen to my mother and lose weight..."
"Mom has never done anything for you in her life, but she always thinks that you are smart and can study, and you will definitely have a future. Mom failed to give birth to a son. If you are lucky enough to be a translator or diplomat in the future, or have the opportunity to go abroad, I will still
I have to count on you to support me in my old age."
"I will be successful in the future, and I will support you in your old age."
"Okay, I know you are filial, Myolie, you are a good boy," Xu Fengjiao took her daughter's hand and said, "In the future, please don't be filial to me, be filial to your aunt."
After saying these words, she smiled softly and touched her daughter's head, "Your aunt and I have something to say. You should go back to the room first."
"Mom, I won't leave..."
"Go in and be obedient." Xu Fengjiao coaxed.
Bai Xing pursed her lips, stared at her mother for a while, and nodded, "Yeah."
Walking into the room and before closing the door, she turned back to look at her mother again. She saw her mother smiling and waving her hand, signaling her to close the door.
It always felt like her mother was giving her last words. Bai Xing's eyes were red and she closed the door hesitantly.
Xu Fengjiao stared at the door for a long time, took a deep breath, and tried to hold back tears.
"I know it's shameless of me to beg you like this, Bai Lu, for the sake of your brother, please take Xing'er in."
"I will take her in. If you have no place to go, you can also move in together. You and Xing'er will share a room."
Xu Fengjiao wiped away her tears and said, "Bai Lu, I knew you were a good person, and good people will be rewarded."
The thing that worried her most was finally put down, and she said, "I'm leaving."
"The Bai family's house has been burned down, where else can you go?"
"Where you come from, where you go back..."
Bai Lu asked doubtfully: "Are you going back to your hometown?"
"Home? That's right. I can't live here anymore. They take me to the street every day. Sometimes I kneel for a whole day, sometimes I stand for a whole day. They spurn me. I have all kinds of people's saliva on my body.
If I stay here, I will cause trouble to you. I am leaving here, Bai Lu, goodbye..."
Seeing her opening the door and about to leave, Bai Lu couldn't help but shout her name, "Xu Fengjiao!"
Xu Fengjiao stopped, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You have to live strong, for the sake of your daughter, and...and my brother. My brother may come back to pick you up next year, or the year after that." Bai Lu said.
She herself didn't believe what she said, but she really couldn't think of anything else to say to encourage Xu Fengjiao.
There was a very bad feeling in her heart, and she tried hard not to think in that direction.
"Yes," Xu Fengjiao nodded, "Okay, I will."
After saying that, she smiled again, not a bitter and helpless smile, but a very bright smile, like the warm sun in summer, which made people feel dazed for a moment.
The next day, an additional female body was found in Jinghai City.
Xu Fengjiao jumped from a tall building. Witnesses saw her singing a scene before she died. The content was the line in "Farewell My Concubine" where Yu Concubine committed suicide, "The Han soldiers have captured the territory, and there are singing songs from all directions, and the king is exhausted.
How can I survive as a cheap concubine?"
For this reason, she was scolded again after her death and her body was set on fire.
The Su family didn't know Xu Fengjiao was dead, so they all thought she had returned to her hometown. Bai Xing thought the same, thinking that it would be good for her mother to go back to her hometown alone, so she wouldn't have to be spit on.
In the Bai family, the only person who knows the truth is Bai Mei.
Others told her, "The woman who jumped off the building last night seems to be your mother. She is going to be burned. Do you want to go and see?"
"Okay! Of course I'm going!"
Bai Mei squeezed in the crowd, watching the unrecognizable woman gradually turn into a charred corpse, shouted a slogan, and finally spat, "Bah! Die well! You should have died a long time ago!"
