The good wife and mother worked herself to death, and was reborn to win the game

Cheng Jinnian fell silent again. His parents' attitude towards him over the years was very subtle. They needed his money and maintained superficial respect for him, but they did not show much enthusiasm for him.

Cheng Jinnian could clearly feel that his parents treated him differently from his brothers.

When he was a child, his parents were very lenient with his brothers but very strict with him.

Cheng Jinnian also had doubts at that time and questioned them face to face.

His parents told him that he was talented and capable, and would definitely achieve something when he grew up, so he could not relax in any aspect.

If the brothers fail to do a small thing well, they will not be punished. If they fail to do it well, they will be punished by kneeling and being slapped on the hands.

His parents often gave pocket money to his brothers behind his back, but never gave him a penny.

My brothers never buy anything for them. My parents say they are unfilial, but they always give them the best.

However, he saved the money he earned from living frugally and collecting scrap iron and copper to buy a gift for his mother, but was accused of being a spendthrift.

When he was a kid, everything he did seemed to be wrong.

It wasn't until he was 18 that his parents sent him to join the army.

At that time, his father patted his shoulder and looked forward to it.

His mother told him that the family had a heavy burden and he should remember to send back the money he earned in the future.

Cheng Jinnian had no concept of money in the army, and he had been used to a hard life since childhood. In order to repay his parents for raising him, he sent most of his money to his parents starting from the first year he joined the army.

At that time, he had not yet married. He heard others say that he should save money for a wife, so he secretly saved some money.

Otherwise, when I married Jiang Wan, my family wouldn’t be able to afford so much dowry.

It was from that time that his parents began to know his real monthly income.

In addition, my brothers had accidents one after another in the past few years, and my nephews and nieces had no one to take care of them, so the burden on the family became heavier and heavier.

Cheng Jinnian was afraid that if he sent too little money, Jiang Wan would have to live a hard life with them.

So later he got his parents' promise to send every penny of his salary back home.

This has led to the current situation of being penniless.

Even when my wife was in the hospital for childbirth, the family still couldn't afford a penny.

This time he was not prepared in advance and was caught off guard.

In fact, he should have seen the clues from the various signs in the past.

He has never been the most favored child by his parents.

Instead, he is the one they treat most harshly and receives the least love.

Now that Jiang Wan was questioning him face to face, Cheng Jinnian was actually speechless.

There were already signs of many things, but he had always longed for his parents' love, so he took the initiative to blind his own eyes.

He thought that Jiang Wan was so smart and cute, and didn't like to argue with others. She was also nice to her nephews and nieces. Her parents and relatives would have a change of heart and treat her well for the sake of money.

But she didn't expect that they would become even more aggressive and continue to bully and exploit her.

Even their children were not allowed to be born.

Over the years, every time his parents called the army, they told him that everything was fine at home.

He would sometimes ask about Jiang Wan's situation, and their words were full of praise for her.

The only regret is that Jiang Wan has never been able to get pregnant. I don’t know if there is something wrong with her body.

However, they also emphasized that no matter whether Jiang Wan could get pregnant or not, they would always treat her as their own daughter.

His mother always told him that the biggest regret in her life was that she did not give birth to a daughter.

Jiang Wan is smart and well-behaved, making her the most suitable daughter for them.

But I didn't expect that they said one thing in front of me and another behind my back.

After a brief silence, Cheng Jinnian suddenly looked directly into Jiang Wan's eyes.

"Do you have any doubts?"

Cheng Jinnian's gaze was surging, and something seemed to be pouring out of his eyes.

Jiang Wan blinked her eyes and moved her mouth but no sound came out.

This question has actually been weighing on her mind for a long time.

She had always wanted to ask, but was afraid that if she asked too suddenly, Cheng Jinnian wouldn't be able to accept it.

Cheng Jinnian was willing to stand on her side in the matter of dividing the family property, and only then did Jiang Wan muster up the courage.

"Have you ever, ever suspected that you might not be their child?"

After Jiang Wan said this, it seemed as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

Cheng Jinnian's face suddenly became frighteningly gloomy.

He had a dark face and was surrounded by low pressure. He looked like the devil from hell.

Jiang Wan thought he would get angry, so she shrank back reflexively and quietly pulled up the quilt that was originally covering her stomach.

Cheng Jinnian looked very scary now, and Jiang Wan even regretted asking this question suddenly.

The relationship between her and Cheng Jinnian was not deep to begin with, and they didn't have much communication in normal times.

Two strangers who didn't have a very good relationship suddenly asked such a heart-wrenching question.

Perhaps the little bit of decency maintained between the two people might be torn apart.

After all, who can accept a stranger stabbing them in the heart?

Cheng Jinnian maintained his original posture and didn't say anything. Jiang Wan was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.

After a long time, Cheng Jinnian took a step forward and walked to the bed.

He lowered his head and looked down at Jiang Wan. When Jiang Wan thought he would get angry, he squatted down again and looked into her eyes.

"Wanwan, I don't know what to say."

Cheng Jinnian held his head in his hands, his face looking extremely gloomy.

He had always thought about the question Jiang Wan raised.

But if he is not his parents' child, whose child is he?

Could it be that he was an orphan without a father or a mother? Or that he had jumped out from a crack in a rock? Or that he had been abandoned by someone and then picked up by them?

No matter which situation it was, Cheng Jinnian found it hard to accept.

He never delved into this issue, not because he didn't have doubts, but because he didn't dare to doubt.

Now that Jiang Wan spoke frankly, Cheng Jinnian was mentally stimulated so much that he was unable to react for a while.

"If you don't know what to say, then don't say it for now. But please think about this question carefully."

Jiang Wan rubbed his brows and said tiredly.

She could clearly see that Cheng Jinnian was extremely traumatized at this moment.

His mental state was too unstable for her to press further.

But some words, once spoken, will leave a mark in Cheng Jinnian's heart.

Maybe he had doubts before, but he just let it go and never conducted a thorough investigation.

Now she threw the problem in front of him, forcing him to face it.

Even if Cheng Jinnian retreated briefly, he would have to face the consequences later.

"I will keep every word you say in mind and think about it carefully."

"Well, as long as you have an idea."

Jiang Wan yawned and changed the subject.

"What's the result of the matter I asked you to investigate before? Where did Cheng Daqiang go after he slammed the door and left?"
