Quick Wear: I am the shopkeeper at the Merit Pawn Shop

That day, Shen Mo went home after get off work.

He was one of the first batch of people to be allocated a house by the company, and it only takes him ten minutes to walk to the company.

After opening the door, he felt a burning gaze behind him.

Turning around, I saw Dong Yi.

Shen Mo invited Dong Yi into the house.

"I know you. You gave me acupuncture that day." After Dong Yi came in, his eyes kept lingering on Shen Mo.

Shen Mo nodded and poured her a glass of water.

"What do you want from me?"

"Si Yan and I are divorced. Although he said you are not my son and DNA shows you have no relationship with us, mother and child are connected by heart. I feel that you are my child. But your choice is right. Although acknowledging you may not be a good thing for you, it may be good for us."

Dong Yi coughed desperately, and she drank a sip of water, which relieved her cough a little.

"Your body..."

"I know the condition of my body well, you don't have to worry. I came here just to see you. When I see that you are living a good life, I feel relieved." Dong Yi smiled warmly.

The setting sun shone in from the west window and onto Dong Yi's body. The orange halo made her maternal love almost overflow.

Shen Mo chuckled: "I think you are the most selfish one!"

His voice was cruel and cold, as if it shattered all the confidence of the woman opposite him in an instant.

The woman's smile also became slightly distorted at this moment.

"Why did you say that?"

"You really don't know that Si Qi is not your child? Your blood type is completely different from Si Qi's. We are both mothers, but Cai Yuehua can find out that I am not her child, but you naturally treat Si Qi as your child.

You have been the one who has educated Siqi since he was a child. You know that he is domineering and unlearned at school, and that he does his homework and takes exams for others. But you just don't correct his behavior. Is a normal mother like this?

Shen Jiansheng trained me to be Si Qi's follower, letting Si Qi take advantage of the situation, hoping that his life would be smooth sailing in the future. If Shen Jiansheng exchanged the child because he wanted to pave a smooth road for his own biological son, what about you?

What is your purpose in raising Si Qi?

Because of your background, Si Yan was demoted to the Northwest. He would rather suffer in the Northwest than abandon you.

Si Yan didn't tell you the truth because he was worried about your heart.

But when he became disabled, you abandoned him without hesitation.

You told me all this and said you wanted to cut off ties with them. Are you trying to win my sympathy so that I would take care of you for the rest of your life?

Dong Yi, in my opinion, you are the truly cold-hearted, heartless, selfish, and indifferent person."

Shen Mo's words seemed to dig out all the darkness in Dong Yi's heart.

Dong Yi lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking. Just when Shen Mo was about to get up impatiently to see him off, she suddenly laughed.

"So you're really not my child, right?"

"Do you want to do another paternity test with me?" Shen Mo thought that it would be the same even if he did it ten times. As long as he did it, the result would be the same.

"Haha, then they really picked a good candidate. Your facial features are somewhat similar to ours."

"Whatever you say, there are so many similar facial features. Could it be that they are all related by blood?"

"You're right."

"Would you like to hear a story?" Dong Yi looked up. The maternal love on her face was no longer there. At this moment, her mask seemed to be torn off.

"I'd like to hear the details." While telling the story, Shen Mo still patiently refilled Dong Yi's glass of water.

"You're right, I don't love Si Yan, but if I hadn't married him, I couldn't imagine what kind of life I would have lived in that era.

I originally had a fiancé who was in love with me. After he was dragged out and criticized, he was so ashamed and angry that he jumped into the river and committed suicide.

It’s all because of this damned world that those who used to live at the bottom of society, those rough guys, have come to dominate this country.”

"If there were no such rough men, do you know what this country would become? We would lose our sovereignty and be humiliated, we would be controlled by powerful countries, we would kowtow before the great powers, and our children would never be able to stand up straight."

"But what do those have to do with a woman like me? I only know that my relatives were persecuted. Our family's wealth has been accumulated from generation to generation. Why should I give it to others? Why do those people plunder like robbers? Why?" She stared at Shen Mo, her face full of tears.

Because for others it is a national celebration, but for people like them it is a catastrophe.

"When you call others robbers, aren't you also robbers? If it weren't for your exploitation, the people wouldn't live in misery. You only see the confiscation of huge fortunes, but have you seen the piles of bones your family shed when accumulating wealth? Have you seen the blood and tears of the people exploited by your family? Even if there were accidental casualties, they also made contributions to the revolution, but their sacrifice in the torrent was worth it. Our existence will also be an estimate of their sacrifice, and we will try our best to give them justice."

Dong Yi turned her face away: "What you said has been said to me by others, but I still say the same thing, what does it have to do with me? I married Si Yan just to protect myself. I don't want to give birth to a child. It's just right that Shen Jiansheng took the child away." Dong Yi wiped the tears from her face.

"If it was my own child, I would still teach him carefully and would not have the heart to spoil him, but since he is not my child, I don't have to worry about him. Shen Mo, these are all secrets I have hidden deep in my heart. Now that I have spoken them out, I feel better. It is best if we never see each other again."

She stood up, adjusted her skirt, and walked away with graceful steps.

Shen Mo now feels that the original owner had poor eyesight. If the original owner had not been replaced, he would have grown up well after being reborn into such a family, but he would not have received any maternal love along the way.

As for Li Jin, after leaving Beijing, she did not go back to her hometown. Having seen the prosperity of the city, how could she accept the dilapidated hometown?

Besides, there were only orphans and a widow left in her hometown. She had to take care of her mother and raise her son, so she simply followed the men south to make big money.

I was squeezed in a small cabin with a group of people and arrived at the destination in a daze.

Before she could see the so-called prosperity, she was controlled by the human traffickers, locked up in a small dark room, and engaged in the flesh trade.

Only a small portion of the money earned every day goes into their hands, and after spending it on food, clothing and dressing, there is not much left.

Not long after, she was diagnosed with a disease, and the snakehead disliked her for being dirty and drove her out.

Li Jin has no education and no ID card, so he can only provide relief to those at the bottom of society.

They took turns living in those people's cage beds. If no one took them in, they could only sleep under bridges and be violated by homeless people.

However, someone soon discovered that something was wrong with her body and realized that she was sick. She was beaten half to death by the men and then driven out.
