Taozi obviously didn't expect her to react like this and was stunned: "..."

After a long while, he stammered: "You, don't you feel surprised? No, no, don't you feel surprised?"

"I don't think so." An Yuan said truthfully, "My brothers and I all look like our parents, but you don't look much alike, and you are the same age as Fifth Brother. It is impossible for your parents to give birth to you and Fifth Brother in the same year." ."

"Also, you said that you lived in the mountains and your family was very poor when you were a child. I guessed that you were not your parents' biological child, and you probably didn't live in this home when you were a child."

Taozi looked at her in surprise, not knowing what to say.

An Yuan touched Taozi's head: "Do you think that you are adopted by your family and I am your biological child, and you are worried that I will suspect that you want to fight with me and then have a problem with you?"

She shook her head: "What you worry about will never happen."

"I used to be an only child with no brothers or sisters, and my adoptive parents didn't care much about me, so I'm very happy that I have older sisters."

"Besides, I'm very rich, and I can't spend it all in three lifetimes." She emphasized seriously, "I don't need to compete with anyone for property. If you need money, I can give it to you."

Taozi was completely stunned: "..."

A big teardrop hung in the corner of her eye, refusing to fall.

It feels like Xiao Yuan has finished speaking, what else can she say?

After An Yuan stared at her for a while, he said, "If you're okay, then I'll go back to the room."

"Xiao Yuan." Taozi grabbed An Yuan's sleeve, "You, you really don't hate me and are angry with me?"

Anyuan pointed to his eyes and said seriously: "Do you look at me with disgust and anger?"

Her eyes were clear and bright, sincere and profound, and Taozi didn't feel a trace of hypocrisy or malice.

"Thank you, Xiao Yuan." Taozi lowered her head, her mood calmed down a lot, "I, I actually always wanted to tell you that I was adopted, but I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept me for a while..."

"Also, we didn't know each other well before, so I don't dare to tell you more."

"Yes, I understand." An Yuan touched her head gently, as if stroking a big dog, "A person's secrets and stories can only be told to the most trusted and important people."

Taozi was stunned again, and the teardrop hanging in the corner of her eye finally fell.

"My family's financial situation was not very good before, and the house we lived in was old and small. No one would say that I was greedy for my family's property."

"But things are different now. We have moved into a villa worth hundreds of millions. My father has become a business leader and my mother is going to open a high-end restaurant. You will definitely succeed in the future. My second brother is also preparing to return to China..."

"Our family should become a wealthy family, and many people will say that I want to rob the family's property. I don't want you to misunderstand..."

"So that's what you're worried about." An Yuan smiled, "Then you should work hard to become a rich man, wouldn't it be good?"

Taozi said "Ah" and blinked at her, not knowing what to think.

An Yuan patted Taozi on the shoulder: "You are only 20 years old. You are hardworking and diligent, and your whole family supports you. You will definitely make a lot of money in the future and become a rich man. In this way, you don't have to worry about these things."

Taozi was stunned for a moment: "Yes, it makes sense..."

However, something seems to be wrong...

Before she could think clearly, An Yuan said again: "Are there any questions? If not, please don't think about it in the future."

Taozi hesitated for a moment, then said: "I, I think I should tell you why my parents adopted me."

Anyuan nodded: "Okay, you say it and I listen."

Taozi let go of her clothes, hugged her knees with her hands, and looked at her toes, her expression as indifferent as if she was talking about things from her past life.

"I am a poor child born in the mountains, and I am a girl. No one in that family cares about me."

"The girls we have there have only one purpose when they are born. When they are young, they help the family work and take care of their younger siblings. When they are a little older, they get married and provide bride price for the family or wives for their brothers."

"When I was young, my biological mother helped my parents take care of the children in this home, and later she took me over."

"My parents and brothers are very good to me, better than my biological parents. No, my biological parents are not good to me...My parents also send me to school. I live a very happy life in this family."

"I never want to go back to the mountains and that home again in my life."

Just by listening to Taozi's words, An Yuan knew that the only "mom and dad" Taozi recognized were An's father and An's mother.

"But then..." Taozi lowered her eyes, her face full of sadness and sadness, "Some...unfortunate things happened to my family, and I fell into pain and poverty. My biological mother took me away from home and returned to the mountains. "

An Yuan felt a slight thump in her heart.

What does "unfortunate thing" mean?

It should not just be the hospital fire and the wrong child incident.

But she didn't ask anything.

Taozi didn't say anything about Anjia, only her own: "I feel like I fell from heaven to hell. I want to leave that home and come back here every minute."

"But there is no way, I can't make the decision..."

"Not long after I returned to the mountains, my biological mother abandoned me and ran away. That family disliked me even more."

"In our place, girls usually get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and rarely get a marriage certificate. The same goes for my biological parents."

"A year later, when I was just over eight years old, my biological father wanted to marry a second wife, so he took 10 yuan from a family in another village and gave me to them as a child bride."

Ren An Yuan was well-informed and had heard about similar things, but his pupils shrank sharply and shock and anger flashed in his eyes.

For 10 yuan, he sold his eight-year-old daughter's life to others?

In the eyes of those people, girls are probably just like cows and horses, right?

"If I had been living in the mountains and never seen life in the city, I might have resigned myself to my fate." Taozi still had lingering fears when talking about this past, with fear in her voice.

"But I have lived in this family for a long time and even attended elementary school. I can no longer accept the fate of being locked up in the mountains for the rest of my life and being reduced to a tool for reproduction and work."

However, no matter how much she cried or begged, or even knelt down and smashed her head, her biological father was still determined to sell her away.

Moreover, she was too young at the time. The mountain village where she lived was three or four hours away from the town, and the town was another two or three hours' drive from the county seat... She couldn't escape at all.

She thought of death.

When she was seeking death, she thought of her parents and her mother. That was her only hope.

She pretended to obey the family's arrangement and asked the family to let her go to the town to buy two new clothes, and the family agreed.

After arriving in the town, she quietly bought envelopes and stamps, put the written distress letter into the envelope, and then dropped it into the mailbox.

She didn't know if her letter could be sent, and she didn't know if An's father and An's mother could come to rescue her even if they received the letter.

She could only pray day and night.

Pray that Father An and Mother An will come to save her.

"I feel hope is slim, just like the sand in my hand, I can't hold it no matter how hard I hold it." Taozi whispered.

"My parents are both good people, but at that time, the family was very difficult..."

"My parents can't take care of themselves, how could they still have the energy to save me..."

"I'm all ready..."

"If no one rescued me on the day I was sent away, I would have jumped off the cliff on the way..."

Anyuan slowly raised his hand, wanting to touch Taozi's head.

But, in the end, I didn’t touch it.

At this point, Taozi shed tears and smiled.

"But I didn't expect that my parents would actually show up on the day the buyer came to pick me up."

"They were like gods descending from the sky. They gave my biological father 12 yuan, asked him to sign a document, and took me away."

"I felt like I died and lived again that day."
