Qiao Wanyue shook her head: "I'm not sure yet whether I can go back or not. I plan to go back. It's the first time I've been away from home for so long, and I've come to a place so far away from Kyoto. If I don't go back, my dad will definitely be worried. "
Changing the subject, she added: "Even if I don't go back, don't bring Xia Lan over to celebrate the New Year with me. Xia Lan doesn't want to have more contact with me now. Your aunt doesn't like me, and she didn't even spend time with the Sun family." It's so easy, but if she knew she was in contact with me again, her life would be even more difficult, and she would inevitably be scolded."
Qin Ao sighed: "Xia Lan will definitely regret losing you as a friend in the future. She is like this, and you still think about her."
"People die for money, and birds die for food. If I had lived as hard as her in the first half of my life and finally seized the opportunity to change my destiny, I would definitely cherish it." Qiao Wanyue said.
Qin Ao felt that Qiao Wanyue would not be like this. Qiao Wanyue had a bold personality and was the smartest and bravest girl he had ever seen.
However, Qiao Wanyue was right about one thing, Xia Lan was indeed not having a good life now.
Although my aunt didn't say it explicitly, anyone with eyes could tell that my aunt was partial to Xia Lan and Sun Manyun.
Thinking of Sun Manyun, he frowned and said, "Xia Lan is really not having a good life now. When I went to my aunt's house last time, I saw that the bracelets on her hands were all on Man Yun's hands. I guess she was asked to go back by Man Yun. . Recently, Man Yun has become more and more willful. He runs out to play with some friends all day long and only returns home in the middle of the night. "
Qiao Wanyue raised her eyebrows: "Your uncle also condoned Sun Manyun's play?"
According to Sun Cheng's status, Sun Manyun should be disciplined very strictly and should not be allowed to come into contact with bad youths in society.
Qin Ao said helplessly: "My uncle would definitely discipline her if he knew about it, but with my aunt covering the middle, and my uncle being busy, he didn't pay much attention to these things. I also learned about it from others. Originally, my uncle was busy. I want to talk to my uncle, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon now, so I won’t say anything after thinking about it. I’ll wait until after the new year. Man Yun is not someone who is easy to suffer. With her status, most people don’t dare to do anything to her. .”
Qiao Wanyue smiled meaningfully: "People who know her identity don't dare to do anything to her, but whether people who don't know her identity dare to do anything to her is another matter. A mountain is higher than a mountain, she If you don’t restrain your temper, you will suffer a loss sooner or later.”
Qin Ao also felt that what Qiao Wanyue said was reasonable, but Sun Manyun was not his cousin in a strict sense. He was in an awkward position and was not suitable for taking too much control.
"If one of my two cousins was like you, my uncle would be worried a lot."
"Isn't Xia Lan very good? She has a well-behaved and obedient personality. Parents like children like this, right?" Qiao Wanyue said: "Your aunt doesn't love her, but it's just because we have been separated for these years and have no feelings."
Qin Ao shook his head: "It's not all because of this. To be honest, we all thought she would be as beautiful as you when she grows up, and her personality will be like yours. She was very smart and cute when she was a child, and she was very popular with my aunt and uncle. None of us thought that she would be like Xia Lan when she grows up. It may be that she has suffered too much over the years and her growing environment has changed her."
"One is your imagination and the other is reality. Of course they are different." Qiao Wanyue was very curious: "How did Xia Lan get lost back then?"
"My uncle and aunt took her and Man Yue to visit relatives in Ancheng. Later, the adults were chatting, and Man Yun and her played behind the older children. The adults thought that with so many children together, it should be okay, so they became careless. Later, Man Yun said that her little cousin was stolen by a candied haws seller." Thinking about the loss of her little cousin, I still feel scared now.
He was not very young at that time, but he was very sad when he learned that his little cousin was lost.
He has always liked playing with his little cousin. He just thinks that the little cousin has big eyes and is very cute when she chases after him and calls her brother.
Qiao Wanyue asked in confusion: "In other words, when your little cousin was lost, only Sun Manyun and her relatives' children were present?"
"That's right." Qin Ao said: "However, the children from relatives didn't play with them much. To be precise, the last person who came into contact with the little cousin was Man Yun. According to her, a candied haws seller passed by. The little cousin was chasing her to eat the candied haws, and when she went to chase her, she fell, and when she got up, her little cousin and the candied haws seller were gone."
He added: "Over the years, we have always thought that the candied haws seller had abducted our little cousin."
Qiao Wanyue felt strange: "I think you were led astray by Sun Manyun's words."
Qin Ao raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"
"There are indeed many children who are kidnapped and trafficked in the countryside, but they are all kidnapping boys. Who is going to kidnap and traffic boys?" Qiao Wanyue explained: "If your own family doesn't have enough to eat, who will buy other people's children to raise? If you want a girl, , as long as you ask your relatives to ask around, you can adopt one from someone else’s home and raise it.”
In an era when there is not much to eat, who would spend money to buy a girl to raise?
Maybe it is true, but Xia Lan was definitely not abducted by the candied haws seller. If she was really abducted, the conditions of the family that bought her would definitely not be very bad. Then Xia Lan would not grow up in Xia's family, just Xia Lan. How could my mother and Xia's father be raising other people's children when they were both shrewd and mean?
Qin Ao grew up in Kyoto and did not know much about the conditions in the countryside. Now that he heard Qiao Wanyue say this, he began to think deeply.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that there were indeed a lot of doubts here. At this time, I couldn't help but ask: "Do you know the situation at Xia Lan's adoptive parents' home?"
Qiao Wanyue hesitated for a moment, but decided not to say anything: "If you want to know, you might as well ask Xia Lan directly. I promised in front of her that I will not tell anyone about her past."
Hearing this, Qin Ao was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions, but he had many questions in his heart. Why was Xia Lan afraid that her past would be known?
Qiao Wanyue went back to the house and took out the plaster. When she saw that the time was almost up, she went to pull out the needles on several big bosses. She knew that these big bosses were not ordinary people and did not like to talk about friendship and relationships. She did not play with those superficial things either. , charging as usual, charging these people fifteen yuan at a time.
"This money is the total cost of acupuncture and plaster. If you come for acupuncture next time, you don't have to pay. It is best to come two times before the year. The plaster will be applied twice a week. In the future, be careful to move your neck more and don't lower your head for a long time. "
The three bosses felt that acupuncture was very effective and the neck was much more relaxed. Sun Cheng was right. Although the little girl was young, her medical skills were indeed very impressive, so they nodded in agreement. (End of chapter)
