Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

“That person knew that I would probably never come back after taking Tianya with me, but he still let us go.

Before she left, she secretly told me that if possible, she should abort the baby so that it wouldn’t be a burden.”

Ding looked at the frozen Lin Gou Wa with tearful eyes, her voice trembling:

"Gou Wa, he is a kind-hearted man.

If it weren't for him, the grass on Tian Ya and I's graves would probably be very tall now.

No, there is not necessarily anyone who will collect Tian Ya and my bodies.

Although Tian Ya and I didn't have a good life in that family, he didn't deliberately abuse us or beat or scold Tian Ya, which was very good.

He has been very kind to me and Tian Ya, I can’t be so cruel to him, I can’t…”

Mrs. Ding clutched the clothes in front of her, her face wrinkled with tears, and she was unable to speak.

Lin Gou Wa blinked his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and exhaled.

He turned his head to look at Lin Tianya who was crying quietly, and said seriously: "Tianya, mother said that man is a good person, what do you think?"

"Brother, that family was very poor, and my uncle didn't want to bother with me and my mother.

My mother made me kneel and kowtow. My uncle couldn't bear it, so he asked my second sister to bring two steamed buns to my mother and me, and also brought hot water.

That’s good, brother. My mother and I begged many people, but few of them paid any attention to us. Most of them chased us away with sticks and stones.”

Lin Tianya wiped the tears from her face, grinned at Lin Gou Wa, and continued:

“After giving us steamed bread and hot water, my uncle wanted to chase my mother and me away.

It was my mother who said that this man was soft-hearted and asked me to kneel down and cry to my uncle to take us in. The more miserable I cried, the better.

I cried, and my mother cried too. The uncle was at a loss for words after hearing my and my cry, but he couldn't bear to chase us away with a stick, so he had to open the door and let my mother and I in.

Big brother, my mother and I were just cheating on that uncle."

It's not a glorious thing to cheat and blame others.

When Mrs. Ding heard what Lin Tianya and Lin Gou Wa said, she lowered her head in embarrassment and didn't care to cry for a while.

"I really had no other choice at that time. Every day I felt that I would not live to see the next day. I would die, but Tianya was still young.

I finally met a 'fool' and all I could think about was how to cling to him as shamelessly as possible, so that I could have a sheltered place to live and a hot meal to eat.

I didn't expect that person to be so stupid that he actually let Tianya and I stay."

Lin Gou Wa touched Lin Tian Ya's head, and a look of relief flashed in his red and swollen eyes. No matter what, he was grateful to that man from the bottom of his heart.

"Tianya, have the uncle's children ever bullied you?"

Lin Tianya nodded hesitantly, then quickly shook her head.

"Brother, life in my uncle's family was already difficult, and now there are two more mouths to feed, Mom and I. Of course, my uncle's children don't welcome Mom and me.

My uncle has three children. My eldest sister is married. I usually spend more time with my second sister and third brother.

My second sister is five years older than me, and my third brother is three years older than me. At the beginning, they both hated mom and me and gave us a bad look every day.

Later, they didn’t hate my mother and me as much anymore, but they still disliked us and me and rarely talked to us.

For a long time, I was very afraid of my second sister and third brother, fearing that they would drive my mother and me away.

But, brother, although they don’t like mom and me, they have never said anything about driving us away.

Once, someone said something unpleasant to my mother and me, and my mother and I didn’t think much of it, but my second sister and third brother came to our house and scolded them, and my third brother even had a fight with the boy from that family.”

Lin Tianya looked up and stared at Lin Gou Wa, her little face full of seriousness:

"Brother, my uncle's family are all good people!

Uncle is a good man, and my second sister and third brother are also good people!

Even my eldest sister, whom I had only met a few times, never said she wanted to drive me and my mother away when she returned to her parents’ home.”

The house was quiet for a moment.

Faced with such a family, Lin Gou Wa really couldn't bring himself to ask Ding to beat the child.

"Gou Wa, Mom is not a good person, but Mom is not a heartless person either.

Mother wants to go back, wants to live a good life with that man, and wants to treat those three children sincerely. "

Ding reached out and put Lin Gou Wa and Lin Tian Ya's hands together, then put her own hand on top.

"If there weren't this wealthy relative, you wouldn't have to tell me that mother would take you with her wherever she went, and the three of us would never be separated.

But Gou Wa and Tian Ya, your surname is Lin, and the old lady of Marquis Zhaoping’s mansion is your real aunt.

Being able to be a relative of such a wealthy person and marry into a marquis's mansion is a good thing that many people would not even dare to dream of.

Gou Wa, Tian Ya, you must not do anything stupid.

Stay here and learn a few skills from Marquis Zhaoping. Even if I close my eyes immediately, I will still be at ease with you.

Besides, if you stay in Marquis Zhaoping's Mansion, you are also supporting my mother. No one dares to bully me or give me a hard time.

Mother has broken down all the truths and told you all about it. You just listen to me, try to please your aunt and her family, and stay in this mansion, okay?"

Lin Gou Wa and Lin Tian Ya looked at each other.

"Let's go back together, I..."

"Why won't you listen to my advice, kid?! Huh? I'm telling you, if you dare to come back with me, don't recognize me as your mother anymore!"

Ding was so angry.

Lin Gou Wa quickly stood up and patted Ding's back, staring at her belly nervously.

I didn’t know my mother was pregnant before, but now that I know, I have to pay close attention.

"Mom, please listen to what I have to say.

Let’s go back together. Tian Ya and I will send you home and then come back.

That uncle has been very kind to us, and I am not a very busy person, so I must go and thank him in person.

And I can also support you. No matter what, besides the one in your belly, you also have your own son!"

Ding turned around, quickly rubbed the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and then cleared her throat: "Then it's settled. You can send me back and come back later. Be smarter in the future, be more active, and don't annoy others..."

"Mom, you have a good idea, but will my aunt and her family be willing to let my brother and I stay here? What if my aunt and her family are not willing to let my brother and I stay here? My aunt and her family don't owe us anything."

Lin Tianya tilted her head, frowned, and her little face showed genuine confusion.

Ding: “…”

Mrs. Ding patted Lin Tianya's head unhappily: "That's why I asked you to please your aunt's family! Do wealthy families always get up early to pay respects or something? As soon as the sun rises, you should go to your aunt's yard and wait! After paying respects to your aunt, go to your aunt's yard and pay respects to your aunt! The most important thing is the Marquis of Zhaoping..."

"Don't!" Lin Gou Wa interrupted Ding quickly, "My cousin is busy preparing for the imperial examination, don't bother her. Mother, my aunt's family are all good and open-minded people. If we have any ideas, we can tell them directly. If it's okay, it's okay. If it's not okay, it's not okay. Don't play tricks and make everyone embarrassed."
