C482 The Truth of the Year
Mu Qingqing finally turned around and crouched down to hug Hua Qinghe, who was crying helplessly.
Hua Qinghe slowly raised her head and finally reached out and slowly took off the mask on her face. The burnt yellow skin on her face made Mu Qingqing shudder. The knife wound had cut into her bone, leaving a cut on Hua Qinghe's chin.
"These injuries, were all caused by them?" Mu Qingqing asked bluntly. She had seen the scars long ago, but she had no idea who was responsible.
"You already know about it?" Hua Qinghe raised her head in surprise. Mu Qingqing didn't ask what was wrong with the scar on her face, but rather said 'they'.
"The Mu Family owes you and me. I will go and find them one by one to get it back." Mu Qingqing said softly, her eyes filled with violence.
"Don't worry." Mu Qingqing lightly patted her back.
Hua Qinghe held her hand tightly and suddenly understood that there were some things that could be kept a secret forever. There was no such thing as a wall without wind. She asked, "Did you, Uncle Hua, tell you this?"
Mu Qingqing paused slightly. "I only found out about your identity today."
"My daughter." Hua Qinghe hugged Mu Qingqing as she cried bitterly. She felt a strong sense of kinship even though she had been living in poverty for decades. No one could resist the miraculous connection that came with blood ties.
When Mu Qingqing was young, Hua Qinghe carried her from the front yard of the Mu Family old house to the back yard. The babbling baby in her arms was her only hope for life. Now, Mu Qingqing had grown up, and was slightly taller than her. Her figure was thin, and although her face wasn't that of a devastatingly beautiful woman, there was still a hint of sweetness to it.
She was still the loveliest little angel in Hua Qinghe's heart.
"Qingqing, where's little sister?" After hugging for a while, Hua Qinghe let go of her and suddenly asked about her daughter.
"Sister? You mean Mu Xiaoyou? " Mu Qingqing looked at her in surprise. Hua Qinghe's first reaction was not to mention Mu Yichen, but Mu Xiaoyou? Could it be that Mu Xiaoyou was her blood sister?
"Yes, it's Xiaoyou. When I left, they named the child Xiaoyou." Hua Qinghe remembered everything that happened that year clearly.
Mu Qingqing looked at her hesitantly. She only mentioned Mu Xiaoyou, but not Mu Yichen …
"Tell me, exactly what happened that year?" She had to get to the bottom of this matter and never know anything about what had happened back then. She would never know what had happened to Hua Qinghe. Mu Qingqing supported Hua Qinghe as they stood up, looking at her with rapt attention.
Hua Qinghe frowned at her for a long time before she sighed. He thought that all these things would come about because she had been a servant of the Hua Family for her entire life, and would never speak of them even after she brought them back to the coffin when she was old.
Along the way, she tightly held Mu Qingqing's hand as she walked towards the inner courtyard of Hua Family. Sitting on the bench under the grape arbor, Hua Qinghe recounted what happened all those years ago.
Hua Qinghe's original name should be Su Cuiyun.
Su Family only had two daughters, Su Cuiyun was the elder sister, Su Cuiyu was the younger sister, the two sisters were twins, and they were of the same father and mother. Su Cuiyun's eyes didn't have any impurities. It was a pair of pure black eyes, whereas Su Cuiyu's eyes were different. Within the whites of her eyes, there was a shallow black mole.
No one could tell the difference between the two daughters of Su Family. The only way to differentiate between the two sisters was the mole in Su Cuiyu's eyes. As a mother, Han Yuezhen understood the difference between the two sisters the best. Usually, when she saw that the two sisters were as good as one, she didn't pay much attention to this issue. Outsiders said they couldn't tell, and she had never told anyone else how to tell the difference between the two sisters. Even Su Dashan was confused.
Back then, Mu Family looked down upon Su Cuiyun's family because they were poor peasants and were not even willing to give her a betrothal gift when they married her. If it wasn't for Mu Anren's unyielding nature, he would have knelt in front of Old Man Mu Xiutan's bedroom for an entire night before arranging a betrothal gift for Su Family.
After marriage, Mu Family's first wife would have a honeymoon.
Su Cuiyu was the younger sister, and since she wanted to play with her sister and her husband at the seaside, Su Cuiyun naturally wouldn't refuse such a request.
That night at the seaside resort, all three of them had too much to drink. Su Cuiyun was escorted to her room early to rest. Mu Anren was instructed to take care of Su Cuiyu before she fell into a deep sleep.
Mu Anren was also drunk. Then, Su Cuiyu brought Mu Anren to her sister's room. Who knew that Su Cuiyun went to the wrong room that night and took over Su Cuiyu's room?
From then on, it was the prelude to Mu Anren admitting his mistake.
This brother-in-law had an unyielding character, was young and handsome, and had a rich family. Many people considered Mu Anren to be a prince charming during his youth, and Su Cuiyu was no exception.
But when this Prince Charming was lying beside her, he even mistook her for an elder sister and pulled her down onto the soft ground.
That restless heart began to become restless.
His Su Family was poor, so poor that even the big pot for cooking was filled with holes. The ceiling was covered in layers of mud, but when it rained, it would still leak water.2
Su Cuiyun's personality was docile. After going through the hardships of Su Family, and after seeing the wealth of Mu Family, she had always maintained a calm and easy-going personality. She was always able to adapt to situations like this. She knew that people had to adapt to the environment, not the environment to adapt to the people.
As long as someone at school was able to get to know a student who had a slightly better family background, she would all take the initiative to meet such a student. This way, she would be able to get a piece of the other party's Red Braised Meat during lunch time, and also be able to nourish her body, which had been malnourished for a long time. She did not understand any too great principles, only that water flowed to the bottom of a mountain.
That night, it was midnight. Su Cuiyu went back to her room and lay beside Su Cuiyun, pretending that nothing had happened.
The surprise did not happen to Su Cuiyu. On the contrary, it was Su Cuiyun who became pregnant with Mu Qingqing after a short while.
That year, when Su Cuiyu saw Mu Anren, her heart jumped like a tiger in her heart, she never forgot him.
As the second daughter of Su Family, she was the same age as Su Cuiyun. Su Family were anxious about Su Cuiyu's marriage, so quite a few matchmakers came to Su Family to matchmaking. Anyone who brought a chicken and duck to Su Family as a matchmaker, Su Cuiyu, along with Han Yuezhen, kept the duck and made a symbolic blind date with Han Yuezhen.
Once someone caught her eye, if there was no one better than him, she would have a feeling of unwillingness and defeat.
What right did Su Cuiyun have to find such an outstanding man, while she, Su Cuiyu, was only fit to have a blind date with the village boy?
This thought continued until the day after the full moon of Mu Qingqing was born and the Mu Family Banquet was held. As Su Cuiyu's family, she naturally came to the Mu Family to congratulate her. When she entered Su Cuiyun's bedroom and saw the cute baby swaying in the cradle, a bold and crazy idea slowly emerged in her heart. She had to make a plan to give Mu Anren a child!
For this plan, she asked Su Cuiyun about her ovulation period and urged her to give birth to a second child as soon as possible. This way, the child's age gap was too small and they wouldn't have to fight each other.
In order to make Su Cuiyun want more kids earlier, Su Cuiyu kept giving Su Cuiyun advice to eat more nourishing soup. That way, she would only need a year to concoct a second child.
This year, the days of Su Cuiyun and Mu Anren in the Mu Family became more and more difficult. Mu Anren resolutely decided to take Su Cuiyun to A City to find a way out. The chilliness of that winter was the chilliness that seeped into the marrow of one's bones. Su Cuiyun carried Mu Qingqing and Mu Anren's luggage and they left Mu Family House just like that.
After going to City A, the only person Su Cuiyun still contacted was her parents. At that time, Su Cuiyu was still working at home as a farmer. After learning that Mu Anren had left Mu Family, a big tree that she could depend on, she felt depressed in her heart. Even after Su Cuiyun and the others left the Mu Family, Su Cuiyu would still run over to the Mu Family residence, sometimes to deliver eggs, sometimes to deliver vegetables for the season. Although these things did not enter Old Master Mu's eyes, it still left a deep impression on everyone in the Mu Family. Everyone in the Mu Family knew that Su Cuiyun had a sister who often delivered things to the Su Family.
Old man Mu Xiutan had seen a lot of people in his life. Seeing Su Cuiyu run so politely, he naturally understood her intention.
They were probably trying to help older sister with her Mu Family and hoped that Su Cuiyun and Mu Anren would return to the Mu Family as soon as possible.
After sending her off more than a dozen times, Old Master Mu sent Su Cuiyu to the inner hall for a chat.
"Little Sister Su Family, it's been hard on you." There was no lack of pleasantries. Mu Xiutan's gaze was filled with pressure, but his tone was very polite.
"Our two families are relatives. My big sister isn't doing well right now. Uncle, please don't worry about these villains. Let them come back." Su Cuiyu heard some clues from the mouths of some people in the Mu Family. She knew that Su Cuiyun and the others left due to internal disharmony within their families. When facing Old Man Mu Xiutan, she naturally had to speak up for her sister.
Old Man Mu Xiutan chuckled, then picked up the teacup and deflected the foam, "You ran over to the Mu Family so many times just to tell me this?"
Su Cuiyu was not afraid in the slightest as she met Old Master Mu's gaze, "Big sister has Qing Qing as a child, it's not easy for them to start a family. They left the Mu Family on an impulse, it's normal for youngsters to not understand the affairs of the world. "After leaving the house, you will have to bear all the hardships. Uncle, you can't bear to have your granddaughter suffer outside, can you?"
Old man Mu Xiutan snorted coldly and asked, "Your sister taught you all of this?"
