The woman sat quietly with a smile on her face and looked very happy.

She picked up the twine on the ground, tied the flowers together, and hung them upside down on the clothesline, apparently making dried flowers.

"Why did you tie up the flowers?" Xia Moran put his hands behind his back and held them tightly, trying to control his emotions.

She remembered her mother's appearance, and it seemed that she had not changed even after so many years.

Time has left no trace on her face.

Xia Fei glanced at Xia Moran, was stunned for a moment, and then spoke with a smile. "There are too many flowers in the yard. Fresh-cut flowers won't last long, so dried flowers are easier to store."

Xia Moran's fingers were numb.

In his own memory, Xia Fei was a skinny woman lying on a bed in a nursing home, her eyes dull and empty, thinking only of suicide.

But the woman in front of her had light in her eyes, happiness in her smile, and a halo of light about her body.

If her appearance hadn't changed much and the years hadn't left many traces, Xia Moran would never have recognized her.

"Yeah..." Xia Moran replied softly.

"Acheng! You're back." Seeing Xia Cheng at the door, the woman happily greeted him. "Your dad is in physics."

Xia Moran looked back at Xia Cheng in shock.

"Bang!" At the door of the hut, a man came out with a fishing net, and the things in his hands fell to the ground.

Seeing Xia Moran standing in the yard, the man's figure was a little stiff.

Xia Moran followed his gaze and frowned warily.

Fu Xingheng.

The legendary paranoid lunatic of the Fu family.

There were no traces of time on Xia Fei's face, but Fu Xingheng had traces of sunshine.

He looks very strong, with a well-maintained figure, and his skin is a healthy wheat color that has been exposed to the sun all year round.

I have to admit that the Fu family's genes are very strong. Fu Xingheng doesn't look like his father's age at all, so some people may believe him when he is said to be in his 30s.

He had his hair straightened, probably to make it easier to work. He was wearing a racer-shaped vest, and his arm muscles were clearly visible. His age was really invisible.

Maybe the person was good-looking to begin with, and his angular face showed a strong look of astonishment.

Fu Cheng shrugged. "dad."

Fu Xingheng seemed a little at a loss and raised his hand to scratch his scalp. "Why are you here?"

Fu Cheng walked over and helped him sort out the fishing nets on the ground. "Fu Minghe is coming to Haicheng."

Fu Xingheng's face darkened and he glanced at Xia Fei subconsciously.

Seeing her carefully arranging the flowers in her hands, she lowered her voice and spoke. "Don't mention that name in front of her."

Fu Cheng raised his eyebrows. "knew."

Xia Moran frowned and looked at Fu Cheng and Fu Xingheng. They were not father and son. She believed them even if they said they were brothers.

But that's not the point. The point is what did Fu Xingheng do to her mother?Why does it feel like her mother doesn't recognize her?

Even if we haven't seen each other for many years, we should at least know each other. "What's wrong with my mother?"

Fu Xingheng handed the fishing net to Fu Cheng. "Send it to Uncle Chen. He needs it when he goes to sea."

Fu Cheng nodded and dragged the fishing net out.

Obviously familiar with the road.

Xia Moran's face looked ugly. Fu Cheng had been lying to her all along. This familiar look made it clear that this was not his first time here.

"Acheng, come back early for dinner." Xia Fei shouted to Fu Cheng.

"I know." Fu Cheng turned around and smiled at Xia Fei.

Xia Moran was a little confused as to why her mother ignored her but treated Xia Cheng with a kind expression as if she had met her son.

"Girl, are you Acheng's girlfriend? He has never brought anyone back." Xia Fei smiled at Xia Moran.

Xia Moran's eyes turned red instantly and he held his fingers nervously. "mom……"

Xia Fei was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Fu Xingheng with an embarrassed smile. "This kid is so enthusiastic. He called me mom the first time we met."

Fu Xingheng rubbed Xia Fei's head lovingly and spoke softly. "Go to Aunt Six's house, ask for a few more benches, and give her the beans you picked. She said she would steam beans and meat buns for us tonight."

Xia Fei's eyes were bright and she nodded with a smile. "That's great. Acheng and this kid are going to have a good time."

Seeing Xia Fei happily leaving with the beans, Xia Moran's breathing was trembling.

She didn't know whether this was happiness or unhappiness for her mother.

I don’t know what methods Fu Xingheng used.

"What on earth did you do to my mother?" Xia Moran looked at Fu Xingheng warily, his eyes full of hostility.

Fu Xingheng was a little embarrassed and pointed to the small bench beside him. "The leak here has stained your skirt. Sit down."

Xia Moran lowered his head and looked at his skirt and shoes. They were already full of mud.

Fu Xingheng went into the room and took a pair of Xia Fei's shoes and handed them to Xia Moran. He also brought her a basin of water and signaled her to be embarrassed.

Xia Moran stared at Fu Xingheng with a dark face the whole time. "I want an explanation."

"Fu Minghe came to find you?" Fu Xingheng knew very well that if Fu Minghe hadn't come to find Xia Moran, Fu Cheng would not have brought Xia Moran here.

Xia Moran didn't answer, but acquiesced.

"What did he say to you?" Fu Xingheng looked at Xia Moran, he seemed a little nervous, and his hands were a little at a loss.

From Fu Xingheng, there is really no trace of the Fu family.

If he hadn't seen Fu Xingheng's photo, Xia Moran really wouldn't have recognized him.

"Say you are a lunatic, you have been pestering my mother and hurting her!" Xia Moran said coldly.

"Do you believe him?" Fu Xingheng looked at Xia Moran with dull eyes.

Xia Moran frowned, inexplicably not wanting to look into Fu Xingheng's eyes.

I wonder if he is too good at pretending. "Isn't my mother dead?"

"Your grandpa helped your mother fake her death and brought us here." Fu Xingheng smiled.

This is the home that Xia Moran's grandfather left for him and Xia Fei.

"Why should I believe you?" Xia Moran took a breath, how could it be possible.

Why did grandpa help Fu Xingheng?

"Your mother has selective amnesia. She chose to forget some memories that caused her pain. This is good. If she doesn't remember, she will be happier." Fu Xingheng obviously didn't want Xia Fei to remember too many bad past events.

Xia Moran's body was stiff, with painful memories.

Was it painful to have her?

"My three brothers are all Fu Minghe's children? My mother was married to Fu Minghe?" Xia Moran looked at Fu Xingheng.

Fu Xingheng nodded.

This is somewhat unacceptable from an ethical perspective.

"Is it because of you that they separated?" Xia Moran wanted to know the truth, but she felt that Fu Minghe's words were a bit one-sided and she didn't believe them all.

"At the beginning, it was him who obtained the certificate in Country M without telling your mother and the daughter of a wealthy businessman for the shares and power of the Fu family. It was bigamy." Fu Xingheng frowned, and when he mentioned Fu Minghe, he still had a murderous look on his face.

Both of them have their own explanations. The only thing Xia Moran can be sure of now is that the two brothers are incompatible with each other for her mother, and each wants the other's life.
