"No, no, no, it won't work, I won't go." Mrs. Tao refused desperately.

Old Mrs. Zhang hates the fact that iron cannot be made into steel: "Look at how hopeless you are! You are her mother, what else can she do to you?"

"Don't mention it!" Mrs. Tao's voice was higher: "I'm not!"

If she had dared to be Zhang Guilan's biological mother, she would not have conspired with her sister to pretend to be missing, then hid and gave birth to the child, and then said that it was Mrs. Zhang who gave birth to the child.

Back then, she was young and got pregnant out of wedlock, which caused embarrassment to the entire Zhang family.

My parents, together with my sister and my husband, kept this matter under wraps. How could we now go to Zhang Guilan with great fanfare to reveal this matter?

"What age are we? The children are already so old, over 40, and have become a grandma. Who can talk about this old sesame and rotten millet?" Old Mrs. Zhang advised.

This statement is not convincing at all. What era is this in? In the early 1980s, this kind of thing was still a big deal.

"The worst thing is, you said you were raped!" Old Mrs. Zhang said.

For the first time, Mrs. Tao felt that her sister was not the sister she remembered, which was so annoying.

Is it honorable to say that he was raped? What happened to Zhang Guilan? He gave birth to a child through adultery?

It would be better to say that she was shameless and fell in love with someone!

As a result, I was deceived...

The man who said he wanted to marry her at the beginning did not expect that he had a wife and children. He said he would marry her, but he turned out to be raising a little wife.

Just when she pinched her nose and was about to admit it, he moved his family without even saying hello.

Then she found out that she was pregnant, but she didn't dare to tell her at first. When her family found out, she had no choice but to give birth.

It happened that the whole village was hiding from the Japanese, one in the East and the other in Tibet. They didn't dare to go back to the village to live a normal life for more than half a year, which gave them a chance.

When the villagers dared to go out for a visit, no one was surprised to find that Mrs. Zhang had given birth to another daughter.

But Zhang Xiaomai was not willing to give in. She was still thinking about that man...so she went there secretly according to the information she got.

As a result, the war broke out and she, a teenage girl, was really abducted and trafficked.

After several twists and turns, we arrived at Tao's house.

Here, Mrs. Zhang was concerned about her reputation, so this matter did not spread.

Her sister gave birth to a child out of wedlock, does she have any dignity?

Later, Zhang Guilan got married and money could be deducted from her. Mrs. Zhang would not even say that she was not her child.

Now, even if she is Zhang Guilan's "real mother", she still can't get any benefit from Zhang Guilan, so let's find another "real mother"!

"Oh, you don't know how difficult it has been for me these past few years. For 60 years, every household had no food to eat, and I had to save a mouthful for her..."

Mrs. Tao interrupted Mrs. Zhang and counted on her fingers: "Didn't she get married in 1960? The child is already 2 years old."

Zhang Guilan was born in 1940 and got married at 18. In 1960, Hua Zhaodu was born.

Mrs. Zhang paused and said confidently: "You don't know how poor the man she married at that time was! He had no father or mother, and he was just a bachelor. Hua Zhao was born without food, and I killed the only one in the family."

The old hen was sent to her so that she could have milk, otherwise Hua Zhao would have starved to death!"

Mrs. Zhang said fiercely.

Yes, that’s what happened!

At that time, Zhang Guilan was pregnant with Huazhao, and she did send an old hen there, but she would not tell Zhang Xiaomai that the chicken was bitten to death by a weasel in the middle of the night, and all the meat was eaten away, leaving only the skeleton.

She took the chicken to give Zhang Guilan milk, and then returned with 28 eggs from the Hua family.

It was something Zhang Guilan and his wife had been saving for almost two months, just waiting to eat during their confinement period.

Still pointing at the half chicken skeleton to let out milk? Zhang Guilan almost lost the energy to let go.

Old Mrs. Zhang began to talk about her kindness to Zhang Guilan over the years again.

After listening to this, Mrs. Tao felt that this sister was quite good, so she raised her daughter and sent her to the capital so that her grandson could marry into a good family.

"How should I put it, Guilan and Huazhao are both good people. They will definitely not dislike you after they find out. They will definitely be filial to you and let you live in a big house and give you money to spend!" Mrs. Zhang finally said.

Zhang Xiaomai remembered Hua Zhao's appearance when they met before. She was beautiful, delicate, and kind. She looked like a good girl at first sight.

As for why she didn't say that her grandmother was Zhang Da Mi and her sister... was she afraid that her husband's family would know that she had a lot of poor relatives?

"No!" Old Mrs. Zhang said: "The Ye family knows her origins. When she got married, she got married in a mountain village. They don't dislike her. She also brought her grandfather to the capital to enjoy the blessings. You are the only one!"

Mrs. Tao said nothing.

"I see that your life has not been satisfactory these past few years. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your son. If you have such a powerful sister and niece, why should you keep them if you don't need them?"

Mrs. Tao still didn't speak.

Old Mrs. Zhang babbled a lot again, but no one responded, so she lost energy and fell asleep at some point.

But early the next morning, before dawn, she got up to cook, and then took Tao Lan, who had gotten up early, to go to the corner and talk for a while.

She still doesn't plan to tell her sons at home about Zhang Guilan's life experience.

The sons are all stupid, and the daughter-in-law doesn’t even know what to say. If she says it, will her face be bright?

As for what happened when Zhang Maimai went to the capital, people in the village didn't know.

These are two worlds.

"Let me tell you, your sister is already rich. How can you open such a big restaurant that people line up to eat? A table costs 1,000 yuan!"

"Sister!" Old Mrs. Tao appeared behind her and looked at her angrily: "Why are you telling him this!"

She actually let her son know that she had a child before...

Tao Lan was really confused and couldn't react.

Yesterday he thought Hua Zhao was his niece, but today he is married to his niece?

"You have advantages but don't know how to take advantage of them. Are you stupid?" Old Mrs. Zhang looked at her with disgust: "I heard, you and your son are still crowded in his dormitory in the capital? In a dormitory for four people, you are squeezed in with him

In the upper bunk? How can he get married in the future when he is so poor?

"Let me tell you, there are several houses in Huazhao, all of which are spacious courtyards. One room is enough for you to live in!"

Mrs. Tao looked at her son with struggling eyes.

The issue of her son's marriage has always been a worry for her.

Tao Lan is 27 this year! The children of his peers are in elementary school, but he is not married yet.

Previously at Tao's house, she was too embarrassed to go out to buy groceries, feeling like every neighbor was laughing at her.

But in Tao's family, Tao Lan's hometown, he couldn't get married either.

The Tao family only had one house, and Tao Lan's two brothers lived there after they got married.

Tao Lan's grandparents are still alive, and the old couple live in the living room.

She has her own folding bed and lives in the kitchen at night.

Why doesn't Tao Lan go home after going to school? Because there is no place for him in that family!

I originally thought that if I got admitted to a university in the capital, my future would be bright and all my problems would be solved, but that didn't happen.

Tao Lan still has to live in the dormitory. Want a house to get married? Wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.

Seeing her expression, Mrs. Zhang knew that she was interested, and she was immediately happy: "Let's go to the capital now."

Tao Lan suddenly said: "No."
