When I was just reborn, I was sold for 300 yuan.

Tao Qingshan held his head and squatted on the ground for a long time before he sighed and said, "Su Qing, I am sorry for this matter."

Seeing that Tao Qingshan just repeated this sentence, Su Qing lowered her eyes and asked softly: "Uncle Qingshan, can you tell me exactly what happened? Is it related to my father or my mother? Is it something that happened six years ago?"

After hearing Su Qing's words, Tao Qingshan looked up at Su Qing, and finally said with determination: "Okay, I will tell you about that matter today, so that it won't stay in my heart all these years. I feel uncomfortable, especially I dare not see you. Every time I see you, I have to think of the things I did to you in the past."

"Are you sorry for me?" Su Qing asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes." Tao Qingshan took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said, "Su Qing, do you still remember that your uncle wanted to take your mother back to visit your grandmother, and your mother wanted to take you back with her, but you fell ill before leaving, so your mother had to leave you behind?"

Su Qing naturally knew about this matter, but in her original memory, she had no idea why she was sick, and didn't know if it was because of the fever she had at the time.

"I remember." Su Qing looked at Tao Qingshan: "Could it be that this matter has something to do with Uncle Qingshan?"

"I'm sorry." Tao Qingshan said guiltily.

It does matter!

Su Qing took a deep breath and asked, "Uncle Qingshan, what exactly happened?"

Tao Qingshan glanced at Su Qing and dragged out the whole thing: "Back then, Shu Qing got sick, and Uncle Sun said he had no other options, so he had to go to the county hospital. But after the doctor examined him, he said Shu Qing needed surgery, and the surgery fee plus various medicines and nutrition fees would cost at least ten yuan, but my family didn't have that much. At this time, your uncle found me and said he could give me ten yuan, but he needed me to do something for him."

"Make me sick?" Su Qing said.

"Yes, your uncle gave me a pill, saying that if you mix it with water and drink it, you will have a temporary fever and cold." Tao Qingshan nodded and said, "I didn't want to do it at first, after all, I think it's very conscienceless to deliberately make a child sick, but your uncle said that because your grandma was angry that your mom married into the village, she didn't like your dad and you very much, and she was afraid that your grandma's condition would worsen after you went back, so she tried to prevent you from going back."

Su Qing didn't say anything, just listened quietly to Tao Qingshan talking about the past.

Tao Qingshan scratched his hair with his hands: "I heard what your uncle said, and I thought that it's not a big deal to let you catch a cold and fever. We rural children are all strong and can get over it. Besides, Shuqing's surgery requires a lot of money, so I agreed."

When Su Qing heard this, she couldn't help but frowned and said, "Since drinking the medicine mixed with water can make me sick, why didn't my uncle give it to me himself, but asked you instead?"

"I asked." Tao Qingshan said, "Your uncle said that he and your mother don't have a very good relationship. They don't usually contact each other. That time, your grandma was sick, so they talked about it. So, in fact, your mother has always been wary of your uncle and would never let you eat anything your uncle gave her."

Su Qing listened and suppressed her anger: "Uncle Qingshan, don't you think there is anything wrong with what my uncle said?"

"I, I also know there is a problem." Tao Qingshan said painfully, "But if Shuqing doesn't have the operation, it may be dangerous. I didn't care at the time. I thought that no matter what your uncle is, he is still your uncle and will never hurt you. So, I didn't think about it anymore. I found an opportunity and asked you to come to my house to drink a glass of water, and then, then..."

Su Qing sneered: "Then I had a high fever, and my mother had no choice but to leave me to the villagers to take care of me, and went back with my uncle alone."

"I'm sorry, Su Qing." Tao Qingshan said, "I didn't expect your mother would never come back, and I didn't expect you to suffer so much in the old Su family. I feel really guilty, so I dare not see you, I'm afraid..."

"You're afraid that you won't be able to live with your conscience." Su Qing said softly. She looked up at the sky. Her original body was gone. No matter what, all these things happened eventually made her leave this world with no desire to live. What's the use of saying sorry more times?

The original body can't hear it.

"I'm sorry." Tao Qingshan could only repeat this sentence. He seemed to feel a little relieved after saying out what had been accumulating in his heart for six years. However, his guilt towards Su Qing still could not be alleviated.

"No need to say sorry." Su Qing said lightly. The person who should have heard the sorry is no longer here.

"I..." Tao Qingshan wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and didn't say anything.

Su Qing said: "Uncle Qingshan, I just told you that if you tell me what happened, I won't blame you. Now, this sentence is still valid. Back then, you did it for your own child."

If a man does not care for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. For Tao Qingshan, it is obvious who is more important, the original outsider or his own child.

Human nature is inherently selfish.

"I want to be alone, Uncle Qingshan, let's go down the mountain first." Su Qing said to Tao Qingshan.

Tao Qingshan looked at the sky and felt a little worried: "Su Qing, it's getting late, you should go down the mountain early."

"I know, I'll be back soon on the mountain. You go back first." After Su Qing said that, she no longer paid attention to Tao Qingshan and turned to walk up the mountain.

Tao Qingshan looked at Su Qing's back as she left, knowing that Su Qing must not have forgiven him. Thinking about his own behavior back then, Tao Qingshan sighed lightly and went down the mountain carrying firewood.

Su Qing walked up the mountain road, thinking about Tao Qingshan's words.

It was obvious that her cheap uncle didn't want her to go back with him. Why?

Also, the relationship between the uncle and the original mother was not good? What was the reason?

Why was the original body's mother so wary of that cheap uncle?

If we calculate the time, my original mother went to the countryside before 1962. At that time, the tide of educated youth going to the countryside had not yet started, and there was no compulsory requirement to go to the countryside. So why did my original mother go to the countryside?

According to the original body's memory, Li Wan's family did not seem to be unable to afford food. Apart from anything else, just the name Li Wan was different from the names of most girls of that period.

Li family, what is going on?

When you count them carefully, each one is a mystery. Su Qing intuitively feels that there must be something going on.

Thinking about these things silently, Su Qing planned that after the New Year, she would go to the city where the Li family lived to check out the situation and see what had happened!
