Cheng Mei was startled.
She didn't want to snatch Xiao Fuyuan away.
At the same time, I felt very relieved. Old Mrs. Bai's attitude of a hen protecting its young showed that she really regarded her daughter as her granddaughter.
In fact, from the moment Cheng Mei got off the carriage and entered the yard, Old Mrs. Bai had always been very resistant and indifferent, except for the fact that Cheng Mei took off her hat and revealed her burned face, which made her look a little moved by pity.
Mrs. Zhen said to Cheng Mei rather embarrassedly: "Madam, don't worry, my mother-in-law also truly loves and protects little Fuyuan."
Mrs. Zhen knew Mrs. Shen very well, and she believed that Cheng Mei came here just to see Xiao Fuyuan, not to snatch Xiao Fuyuan away.
My mother-in-law is too worried.
After hearing what Zhen said, Mrs. Bai raised her chin and looked at Cheng Mei.
She wanted to hear what Cheng Mei's true purpose was.
Cheng Mei calmed down, put on her curtain hat again, gave Old Madam Bai a big blessing, and said: "Old lady, I am very grateful to you for taking care of little Fuyuan. I don't have the slightest idea of taking little Fuyuan away." To put it bluntly, Xiao Fuyuan has considered his eldest brother and sister-in-law Bai as his biological parents since he was a child, and he considers himself a descendant of the Bai family. It is said that cultivating kindness is better than giving birth to kindness. Your family treats Xiao Fuyuan as a treasure, and I take this as my own. Mother just gave birth to her, how could I have the nerve to take her away."
Cheng Mei even raised her hand and swore.
Old Mrs. Bai snorted and said, "Since Xiao Yuanbao is a descendant of my Bai family, it is right for my Bai family to raise her and love her. You don't have to say thank you or anything like that."
Cheng Mei smiled and said, "I was the one who was abrupt."
"Old lady, don't worry, I will never come to pick peaches." Cheng Mei almost swore.
"If you don't admit it now, who can guarantee that you won't admit it in the future?" Mrs. Bai said cruelly, a bit aggressively.
It's no wonder she's worried, Xiao Fuyuan is her lifeblood now, and she won't be able to bear it if she is really sent back to her biological mother.
She still said that since Xiao Fuyuan was given to the Bai family, it would be the descendant of the Bai family.
No matter what difficulties Cheng Mei had back then, Mrs. Bai didn't care. She only cared about her granddaughter.
Cheng Mei was silent for a moment.
To be honest, it was a lie that she didn't want to recognize Xiao Fuyuan. She dreamed of recognizing her daughter.
When my daughter grows up, she has never been called mother.
Just now she heard Xiao Fuyuan acting coquettishly and calling her mother to Mrs. Zhen, she felt touched and sour in her heart.
If Xiao Fuyuan was willing to call her mother, she would be willing to die.
But she also knew that the moment she placed little Fuyuan in the snow in front of the couple's white-board door, she severed the relationship between mother and daughter.
Even if they meet, she can only use her current identity as "Aunt Cheng".
What else could she be dissatisfied with? Back then, she was willing to die to protect her daughter. Now God has mercy on her and allows her to see her daughter in her lifetime.
She was already very satisfied.
"Old lady, ever since I gave Little Fuyuan to Brother Bai and Sister-in-law Bai, I have severed the relationship between mother and daughter with this child." Cheng Mei said to Old Lady Bai.
Mrs. Bai's face finally felt a little relaxed.
"Mom, I believe Madam." Madam Zhen refilled Cheng Mei's tea cup. She couldn't bear that Xiao Fuyuan's biological mother was forced to swear.
Originally, Mrs. Zhen did not object to Cheng Mei recognizing Xiao Fuyuan in the future. After all, it would not be fair to her daughter to cut off their mother-daughter relationship without Xiao Fuyuan's knowledge.
What's more, having one more person to love her daughter, and it's her biological mother, Zhen thinks it's not a bad thing for little Fuyuan.
But what my mother-in-law did was also right.
"Madam, little Fuyuan is not only the lifeblood of my mother, but also the lifeblood of our whole family." There was a trace of guilt on the white wooden board's face, which means that Xiaofuyuan is a descendant of the Bai family, and Madam, don't even think about recognizing her. Yes.
Although Bai Banban was very sympathetic to Cheng Mei's experience, after all, he could not lose his daughter in his life.
When I think about the possibility that my daughter will return to her mother one day, my heart bleeds.
Xiao Fuyuan is a descendant of their Bai family, which is listed in the family tree.
If Xiao Fuyuan is taken away, his ancestors will not spare him even if he goes underground.
Also, he plans to keep Xiao Fuyuan's identity secret from the Bai family. Otherwise, if his sons and daughters-in-law know that his sister is not his sister, who can withstand this blow?
Now that Cheng Mei admitted that Xiao Fuyuan was a descendant of the Bai family and that cultivating kindness was more important than generating kindness, Bai Banban breathed a sigh of relief.
"Madam, although we were worried about little Fuyuan being taken back, my husband and I are very happy to see that you are still alive. You must have suffered a lot, right? When I think of Madam..." The corners of Zhen's eyes were red, Can't help but hold Cheng Mei's hand.
These hands were roughened by the sea breeze.
The eldest lady back then was as pampered as a pearl.
The current eldest lady, just looking at her burned face, you can tell how much pain she has gone through.
"It's all over." Cheng Mei sighed with tears in her eyes, "Thanks to you and Brother Bai. So many things happened in the house back then, and I was trapped in the back house unable to move while pregnant. When I gave birth to a baby, When Yuan Bao was young, she only thought that you two might be able to protect her. Although little Yuan Bao is now a descendant of the Bai family, I still don't know how grateful I am to you."
"The past Mrs. Shen is dead. If Sister Zhen doesn't mind, please call me sister." Cheng Mei held onto Zhen's hand.
"Sister, you really don't need to say thank you. You know that we in the Bai family are all sons. Xiao Yuanbao can be considered as giving us our wish to have a daughter." Mrs. Zhen said.
"That's right, madam, there is no need to say thank you. If you say thank you, our life was so difficult back then and we went to Huaicheng to make a living. You don't mind letting us work in the Shen Mansion." Bai Banban said.
Thanks to Mrs. Shen's kindness, after learning about the couple's situation, she did not ask him to sign a slave status, but instead worked freely in the Shen Mansion.
Cheng Mei smiled.
Perhaps this is fate. It is precisely because the white-boarded Zhen couple were free at the time that they were able to leave the Shen Mansion after Shen Junshan's death and give Xiao Fuyuan a way out.
"Madam, don't worry, we will treat Xiao Yuanbao better in the future." Bai Banban was quite excited.
…
Cheng Mei stayed in the upper room of the Bai family for a long time.
The housekeeper, Eugene Gui, didn't know whether to take care of the food or not. Just when he wanted Xiao Fuyuan to go in and ask, the door to the upper room opened.
Cheng Mei walked out, and then Mrs. Bai and Mr. and Mrs. Zhen, the white board, also walked out.
Cheng Mei did not stay at Bai's house for dinner. She was already very satisfied to see her daughter. She was afraid that she would be even more reluctant to leave if she stayed any longer.
"Come here, Xiao Yuanbao." Mrs. Zhen waved to Xiao Fuyuan and said to her, "Your Aunt Cheng is about to go back. You give her a gift."
Xiao Fuyuan nodded and stepped forward to hold Cheng Mei's hand.
"Aunt Cheng, you should be happy every day, eat well, and sleep well."
Xiao Fuyuan led Cheng Mei to the carriage.
"Okay, Auntie will do it. So does Xiao Yuanbao. Eat well, sleep well and grow taller." Cheng Mei touched Xiao Fuyuan's head.
"Daughter, please give Aunt Cheng a hug." Mrs. Zhen said to little Fuyuan.
Xiao Fuyuan turned around and hugged Cheng Mei, who also hugged her tightly.
"Aunt Cheng will always be safe and sound." Xiao Fuyuan's sweet voice sounded in Cheng Mei's ears.
Cheng Mei's tears rolled down her face, but luckily she wore a curtain to cover them up.
Cheng Mei got into the carriage.
When the carriage started, Mrs. Zhen walked over and held Cheng Mei's hand and said softly: "If you are willing, you can come and see me from time to time in the future."
Cheng Mei said: "She is my sister's child. We will see each other again if we are destined. If not, we will not see each other."
Then the carriage drove towards the outside of the village.
