Chapter 204 is disgusting
With Xiao Qianyue's words, Zhuang Qingxiang's anxious heart immediately settled down.
She smiled and hugged Xiao Qianyue tightly: "Yueyue is such a good girl. Tomorrow we'll go see your real mother, and you can tell her yourself, okay?"
Xiao Qianyue nodded vigorously.
Her memories of her biological mother are very blurry. She loves her current mother very much and wants to stay with her forever.
"Pinky promise!" Zhuang Qingxiang smiled and extended her little finger.
Xiao Qianyue immediately chimed in: "Pinky promise, a hundred years from now, never to be broken!"
"Yes, it will never change!"
"What do you mean by 'forever unchanging'?" Lu Congyue overheard this when he returned and asked with a smile.
Little Qian Yue eagerly declared, "My mother and I will stay together forever, not for a hundred years!"
Lu Congyue pulled the little girl into his arms, then let her sit on his neck, and asked with a smile, "What about Uncle?"
"Uncle...we'll be together forever!" Little Qianyue called out decisively after only a second of hesitation.
So, Lu Congyue couldn't escape the common practice of being dragged into a "pinky promise" by the little girl.
After the children fell asleep, Zhuang Qingxiang and Lu Congyue spoke quietly outside, talking about their encounter with Huang Cuilan and how Huang Cuilan wanted to take Yueyue away.
"I refused, feeling that Yueyue was more suitable to stay with me, but she insisted that she was Yueyue's biological mother... Lu Congyue, who do you think is more suitable for Yueyue to stay with?"
Lu Congyue fell silent, a rare occurrence for him.
After a long pause, he said, "Logically speaking, it's best for her to stay with her biological mother! But Yueyue's situation is different. Her biological mother abandoned her once before, and who knows if she will do it again? Tomorrow, we should talk to her properly and ask her to keep Yueyue with us."
Zhuang Qingxiang looked at him with surprise and delight: "You don't mind her? You agree to keep her by your side?"
"What you're saying... of course I agree! How could we bear to send such a well-behaved child away?"
As Lu Congyue spoke, he suddenly put on a wronged expression: "Qingxiang, are you testing me? Do you think I won't keep Yueyue? Is that the kind of person you think I am?"
Zhuang Qingxiang bit her lip guiltily.
She actually has some ideas.
Because Huang Cuilan is right. Although Yueyue, like Xiaodonghua, has no blood relation to her and Lu Congyue, their situations are different.
Xiao Donghua is the child of Lu Congyue's good friend, and he insisted on bringing him into his life.
Yueyue was born to Huang Cuilan and another man, and had nothing to do with them.
So she was really worried that Lu Congyue would suggest that Yueyue go with her biological mother.
Lu Congyue grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms with a grin: "You've wronged me so much, shouldn't you give me some compensation?"
"Don't……"
Zhuang Qingxiang reacted strongly, abruptly shaking off his hand. Her face, which had been rosy just moments before, was now as white as paper.
Lu Congyue frowned slightly: "What's wrong with you?"
"N-nothing!" Zhuang Qingxiang stood up abruptly. "It's getting late, I'm going back to my room to sleep, I'm too tired."
She avoided him like the plague, not giving Lu Congyue a chance to catch her, and hurriedly ran back to the inner room to close the door.
Lu Congyue stood at the door, pushed it, but couldn't open it. Knowing she had locked the door from the inside, he lowered his voice and asked, "Qingxiang, is there something you haven't told me?"
"No, that's all," Zhuang Qingxiang replied softly. "I'm really tired today. I'm going to sleep. You should go to sleep too, so you don't wake the children."
After Zhuang Qingxiang finished speaking, she got onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and covered herself tightly with the quilt.
She and Huang Cuilan cried for a long time in the morning. They finally managed to cover their eyes with river water so that they couldn't see much. In the afternoon and evening, she kept holding back her tears, not daring to think about it or cry.
But when Lu Congyue just pulled her hand, she subconsciously felt that she had dirtied his hand, so dirty that she felt like vomiting.
Zhuang Qingxiang cried silently, her face buried under the covers.
Cheng Lin's existence constantly reminded her of that unbearable past, a past even more unbearable and disgusting than Huang Cuilan's.
She also understood why Li Shufen kept calling the two children "bastards" and accusing her of cheating on her husband.
Because she knew what kind of beast her son was.
It was clearly Qian Quan's fault. It was clearly Qian Quan who led other men to their beds, ruining two innocent women, her and Huang Cuilan. But all they did was curse her and Huang Cuilan as sluts, adulterers, and their children as bastards...
He'd hurl all sorts of insults, but he only ever insulted them.
Zhuang Qingxiang trembled as she hugged herself: How could there be someone so rich in the world, and why did I have to run into one?! Heaven is so unfair!
Zhuang Qingxiang cried for half the night, and when she woke up the next day, her eyes were badly swollen.
"Mom, what happened to your eyes?" Xiao Qianyue asked worriedly.
"You cried last night?" Lu Congyue's face was grim. "Why?"
They were so close the night before, she would take the initiative and respond.
Last night she suddenly wouldn't let me touch her at all.
I can't expect her to cry just because I held her hand, can I?
"Zhuang Qingxiang, are you hiding something from me?" Lu Congyue asked, his brows furrowed.
Zhuang Qingxiang covered her eyes with a towel soaked in cold water: "It's nothing, I probably dreamt about something sad last night... I forgot about it when I woke up, it's nothing."
Lu Congyue would never believe her flimsy explanation.
"Alright, I'm really fine. You two should hurry up and leave, or you'll be late." Zhuang Qingxiang felt ashamed under his gaze and quickly shooed them away, even personally escorting them to the front door.
Lu Congyue's voice deepened slightly: "Are you really hiding nothing from me?"
"No!" Zhuang Qingxiang said firmly. "Oh, right, I also wanted to tell you that I'm not going to the county town today. Going there every day is so weird. I plan to take a stroll around the village in the morning, and then take Yueyue to see her mother at noon."
Apart from her swollen eyes and slightly hoarse voice, she seemed fine. Lu Congyue carefully looked her over before reluctantly taking Yueyue away. Before leaving, he once again told Zhuang Qingxiang to come find him if anything happened.
The two people, one big and one small, left, and Zhuang Qingxiang went back to her room.
Looking at the two children on the kang (a heated brick bed), she originally wanted to pick up Xiao Chenglin first, but when she saw his face, she suddenly turned and picked up Xiao Donghua next to her, and then stopped looking at Xiao Chenglin.
The child looks like her in some ways, but in others, it's unclear who she resembles.
Whenever Zhuang Qingxiang sees him, she is reminded of how she was slept with by one or more men at an unknown time and place...
This made her feel even more disgusted, and she even wanted to die.
Zhuang Qingxiang really wanted to dig all the money out of the grave and find out the truth.
But that was impossible, so she had to ask someone else.
The first person Zhuang Qingxiang wanted to find was Li Shufen.
Standing at the door of Li Shufen's house, I pinched my palm hard with my fingernails and mustered up the courage to push the door open.
"Li Shufen!"
Hearing the commotion, Li Shufen and her two other daughters-in-law came out. When they saw Zhuang Qingxiang standing in their yard, all three of them looked as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
"It's you? What are you doing here?" Li Shufen spat angrily. "Coming to my house this early in the morning, are you looking for trouble or are you ready to pay up?"
