After an hour of bumpy car rides and half an hour of walking, they finally arrived at a small village at the foot of a mountain.
This is Lu Xueqing's hometown, the place where she was born and raised.
There are about 20 households, with smoke curling from their kitchens, and it feels like a paradise.
"Xue Qing, your parents probably don't know about your return yet. It's still too late for you to leave now."
Beside Lu Xueqing, Grandma Wang was still trying to persuade her.
Growing up, she didn't know how many times she saw Lu Xueqing being beaten, so she really didn't want Lu Xueqing to fall into the pit of fire again.
"Grandma Wang, I haven't been back for many years. If I leave now, I'm afraid I will have some regrets in my heart."
No matter how bad her life had been since she was a child, after all, her parents had been kind to her, so Lu Xueqing never thought about leaving.
Moreover, when she came back this time, she planned to hand over Lu Sisi to her mother, let alone leave.
"well……."
When Grandma Wang heard this, she sighed and said nothing more.
"Little guy, let's go to grandma's house to get some candy." At this time, grandma Wang looked at Lu Sisi.
"Grandma Wang, eating too much sugar is not good for children's teeth. Besides, you are so old, how can we ask for anything from you anymore."
Lu Xueqing said that she took out one of the gift boxes in her hand and said, "Grandma Wang, I know that you are not in good health. This is a box of milk supplements. I am filial to you."
"That won't work!"
Hearing this, Grandma Wang shook her head and said: "Young people today are already under a lot of pressure. Plus, you have a child, so you should keep the child to drink."
"Grandma, just accept it. I'm eating now and don't drink milk!" Lu Sisi said at this time.
"You kid."
After touching Lu Sisi's head, Grandma Wang looked at Lu Xueqing and said, "Okay, since it is your intention, I will accept it."
"But you must come to my house when you leave. I still have two pieces of bacon, so you can take them with you."
"Okay, then go back slowly." Lu Xueqing agreed.
"Don't worry. I have lived in this village for decades. Even if I walk with my eyes closed, nothing will happen."
Even though Grandma Wang was nearly eighty years old, she was actually quite strong and she quickly disappeared from Lu Xueqing's sight.
"Sisi, follow mom closely and don't run around."
Looking at a few big yellow dogs not far away, Lu Xueqing pulled Lu Sisi's clothes and said.
"I know."
Lu Sisi obviously also saw a few dogs not far away, and shrank her neck in fear.
But for a little girl born in the city, everything in the countryside seemed so strange, and she soon forgot her mother's words.
It wasn't until a big yellow dog chased her that she became scared and followed Lu Xueqing closely.
The village was not big. About two minutes later, Lu Xueqing appeared in front of a small courtyard carrying large and small bags.
This is her hometown.
Compared with the courtyard where we rented in Chengzhong Village, Anhai City, this place is even more dilapidated and has not been repaired for many years.
It is said that people are timid when they are close to home. This is what Lu Xueqing thinks at the moment.
She was clearly at the door of her home, but she couldn't raise her hand to knock on the door, as if she had no strength in her body.
But she didn't wait too long. Suddenly, the closed door opened, and a woman carrying a basin came out.
"who are you looking for?"
After glancing at Lu Xueqing, the woman asked.
She was Lu Xueqing's biological mother, Yao Xiujing, but she hadn't seen her for many years, so she didn't recognize her daughter at first.
"mom!"
Looking at this woman with white hair on her temples, Lu Xueqing couldn't help but scream.
Her eyes were red at this moment.
After all, it is a family relationship where blood is thicker than water.
"You...are you Xue Qing?"
Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar name, Yao Xiujing reacted, and the basin in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.
"It's me." Lu Xueqing nodded with a choked voice.
"You damn girl, you haven't contacted us for so many years, we all thought..."
As she spoke, Yao Xiujing quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and shouted into the room: "Dad, our baby girl is back."
It could be seen that Yao Xiujing was very happy, but compared to her excitement at the moment, Lu Zaimin who walked out of the room had a cold face.
"Humph, my daughter has died a long time ago." Lu Zaimin took a puff of dry cigarette and said coldly.
Hearing this, Lu Xueqing's expression froze. She didn't expect that her father would treat her with such a bad attitude when they met for the first time in many years.
"If you can't speak, don't speak."
After scolding her husband, Yao Xiujing quickly took Lu Xueqing's hand and said, "Ignore your dad, that's the kind of person he is."
After saying that, she looked at Lu Sisi again and said, "If I guess correctly, you are Sisi, right?"
"yes."
Lu Sisi nodded.
"So cute."
"Come on, stop standing outside and come inside quickly."
"If you dare to bring her into the house today, pack your things and get out of here!" Lu Zaimin blocked the way with a cold expression.
"My daughter finally came home, what are you doing?" Yao Xiujing didn't expect that her man would do this, and she was in a dilemma.
"I haven't called home for several years, let alone asked for money back. Which daughter has such a daughter?"
"If you have anything to say, let's go into the house and say it. It won't be good if others see it."
Yao Xiujing looked around and whispered.
"If she still wants to enter this house, give me at least 50,000 yuan in cash today, otherwise I will pretend that I don't have this daughter!"
Lu Zaimin's voice was firm and powerful, and there was no trace of family affection in his eyes.
Hearing such decisive words, tears fell directly from the corners of Lu Xueqing's eyes.
His whole body was shaking.
She thought that after so many years, her father would be able to restrain himself, but it turns out that time sometimes cannot change anything.
Her father was still the bastard who didn't treat her as a human being.
"Sisi, let's go!"
If she were a child, Lu Xueqing might have listened to her father, but now she is an adult and a mother.
So she no longer wants to be dominated by her father.
Thinking back then, if he hadn't insisted on marrying her off, how could she have ended up like this?
"Dad, who's here?"
Just then, a young man in pajamas walked out of the house, rubbing his eyes blearily as he walked.
He is Lu Xueqing's younger brother, Lu Ping.
"Fuck!"
"I am not wrong, right?"
Seeing Lu Xueqing at the door, Lu Ping screamed as if he had discovered a new world.
"Lu Xueqing?"
Lu Ping screamed in uncertainty.
"Ping'er, you came out just in time. Your father won't let your sister enter the house. Please persuade him quickly."
"Huh, I can't come up with 50,000 yuan today, no one can persuade me!" Lu Zaimin snorted coldly.
"fifty thousand?"
After hearing this, Lu Ping perked up and seemed to understand something. He quickly grabbed Lu Zaimin and pulled him aside.
After a close conversation, Lu Zaimin could be seen nodding several times in succession, and then he turned around and said, "Your brother begged for your favor, come in."
"It's cold outside, come inside and warm yourself up."
Hearing this, Yao Xiujing quickly pulled Lu Xueqing into the house, fearing that she would not understand and leave.
