Be gentle

Huaran paused for a moment, and Hua Jianguo felt a pain in his heart when he thought of the scene where she was persecuted.Indeed, if the 5 yuan had not been moved, they would not have paid the villagers' money at all, and Huaran might not be where it is today.

"Grandpa, the village chief, I don't know if everyone loves their hometown, but Huajia Village does not only have good memories for me. Even I am fleeing there, so how can I say anything about her?"

Hua Jianguo hadn't cried for many years at his age, but at this moment he couldn't help but shed tears.

"I didn't take good care of you, I was sorry for your grandpa...but your grandpa—"

"My grandfather asked me to recognize her before he left. He said she was my only relative..."

"Impossible!" Hua Jianguo refused to believe this no matter what, since Hua Guyi drove her away at the beginning, and Hua Ran didn't let Hua Ran mention her again.

"It's true, I didn't lie to you... Grandpa said, if she still misses me, let me recognize her... It's just that I didn't agree."

Huaran always thought that grandpa hated her mother, but now she has a different view.Because those memories were too far away, and because she refused to recall them for too long, so she could only remember at this moment. Although Hua Guyi's expression was stern when she asked her not to mention Xiao Fengsheng again, there was no hatred or disgust.

Now, she has no way of finding out what Hua Guyi thinks of Xiao Fengsheng, but she clearly remembers Hua Guyi's instructions to herself before she died.

That may be the last bit of compromise on dignity made by a stubborn old man because of his grandson's happiness.

"Xiaoran!" Hua Jianguo was speechless, and at the end there was only a sigh.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I will handle it myself, please don't ask me any more."

"Xiaoran, dye girl?!"

Hua Jianguo only heard the busy voice from the other side, and was at a loss.Huaran has always respected him, and he has always sincerely regarded her as his granddaughter, but now things are developing in the direction he least wants to see.

It has not been officially announced that Xiao Zhen will no longer serve as a judge from the third competition, but the contestants and staff have all known it, but no one except Si Tong and Hua Ran knows the real reason for her withdrawal.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhen recommended a suitable replacement candidate, which did not have too much impact on the recording of the program.

Not being a judge does not mean that Xiao Zhen no longer pays attention to Huaran, on the contrary, because she no longer needs to cover up, she will come to Bai Shuyi to ask about Huaran almost every day.

Bai Shu doesn't make secrets at all, and will talk about the general situation.And just today, Xiao Zhen received a call from Bai Shuyi - Huaran called her from Bai Shuyi's mobile phone, saying that she wanted to see her.

Xiao Zhen was both excited and apprehensive, and couldn't wait to arrive at the agreed place with Huaran, only to see that the other party was already there, and Bai Shuyi was sitting beside her.

"Aunt Xiao, hello."

Hua Ran's expression was so calm that it was a little cold, while Bai Shuyi was always smiling and greeted her politely.But she obviously has no intention of leaving, and it seems that she wants to accompany the two of them in this conversation.

Xiao Zhen sat down opposite the two and ordered a cup of coffee. After she calmed down a little, she said, "Xiaoran, what's the matter today?"

Bai Shuyi couldn't believe that Xiao Zhen was an adult, and his EQ was so low that it was outrageous.She coughed lightly and put her hands under the table.

Xiao Zhen was at a loss because of Huaran's silence, and the phone vibrated.

"Excuse me."

She expressed her apology, looked at her phone, and found that the sender was Bai Shuyi who was sitting opposite.

"Uh... what I just meant was that I'm glad you contacted me today, I've always wanted to see you."

This is too obvious!

Bai Shuyi couldn't stand it anymore.

While she was racking her brains to figure out how to help smooth things over, Huaran took her hand holding the phone.

Bai Shu wanted to cry but had no tears, smiled and rubbed Huaran's hand flatteringly, while looking at Xiao Zhen with helpless eyes.

"I'm here to pay back the money."

Huaran gave her a sideways look, then pulled out her hand and took out a stack of money from her bag.

Xiao Zhen frowned, "You don't have to do this..."

"A total of [-] yuan, the extra [-] yuan is for interest and medical expenses."

"Xiaoran, I never thought of asking you to pay back the money."

"But I want to pay it back. I owe you this."

Although Xiao Zhen's heart aches for Hua Ran's attitude of clearly wanting to break up with her, she feels even more ashamed of what the other party said.

"You don't owe me anything, I have always owed you."

"So you came back because of guilt?" Huaran's attitude wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either, it was just a little cold.

Xiao Zhen didn't know what to say, so she could only say: "I want to make up for you..."

Huaran took a deep breath, and held Bai Shuyi's hand tightly.

"I don't think you need to. There are some things I can't make up for, and some things I don't need, especially money ones."

Xiao Zhen was really flustered at this time, because she had already realized that there was nothing she could do to make Huaran change her mind.

"But, but I want to do something for you..."

Hua Ran sighed, and asked, "Are you making up for me, for my own good, or to reassure yourself, or to get my forgiveness?"

Facing Huaran's questioning, Xiao Zhen was speechless.If something had to be said, these were probably her expectations.

She was stunned for a long time before she said: "I, I have good conditions now. I want to live with you and provide you with a better environment."

Bai Shuyi couldn't bear to push an elder into such a situation, but she didn't want to interrupt Huaran, let alone make excuses for Xiao Zhen.

"Did you use this as an excuse when you left? Provide me with a better environment."

Xiao Zhen couldn't refute at all, her red eye sockets became completely moist.She frantically took out a handkerchief from her bag to cover up her embarrassment, but Bai Shu recognized it as the handkerchief she had exchanged from her back then.

Huaran seemed to be touched by something, and her body shook.As soon as Bai Shu held her hand tightly, he suddenly said softly: "Aunt Xiao, maybe I shouldn't intervene in the matter of your mother and daughter. But sister Ran trusts me and is willing to let me accompany her. Now I want to express something own immature opinions."

"I don't have a father, but sister Biran is lucky. I have a good mother and I have never suffered. I can understand her, so I want to support her... But I can see that you don't love her, You are in pain too."

"But now, rather than living with Sister Ran and providing her with better conditions, I think the better way to make up for it is to let her know the truth."

As she spoke, she glanced at Huaran, and seeing that she had no objection, she continued, "You can't let her make a choice when she doesn't know anything about the past, can you?"

Xiao Zhen covered her face with a wry smile, "The truth of the matter is... I'm sorry for her."

"Then I beg you to have the courage to tell me something that would make you ashamed."

Huaran looked at her straight, as if she had made up her mind.

Xiao Zhen could hear the firmness of her words, and finally agreed: "This is a very long story, starting with how I got to Huajia Village..."

It took two full hours for Bai Shuyi and Huaran to finish listening to Xiao Zhen's story.Although Xiao Zhen's words were very succinct, many places were skipped, and even a lot of places were beautified for the sake of the two children, but the two fell into a long silence after listening.

This is the most malicious story Bai Shu has ever heard, not only the evil of people, but also the ruthless teasing of fate.If only as a stranger, not only would she not be able to criticize Xiao Zhen, she would even admire her immensely.

Halfway through, she was thinking, what if all this happened to herself?If Xiao Zhen resigned to her fate, what would happen now?

She really didn't want to make any excuses for Xiao Zhen, and the other party didn't need any excuses at all.This may have been the result of her best efforts, but Huaran unfortunately became the most helpless part.

She was very sad, not only for Xiao Zhen, but also for Hua Ran.

Huaran was also silent, looking very calm.Xiao Zhen couldn't help but feel a little tired after talking about the memories that she seldom recalled these years, but she looked at Huaran with hope in her eyes.

Huaran was also caught in the memory, when she saw Xiao Zhen take out the handkerchief, she remembered the gift that the other party gave her when she was a child—it was such a small and simple handkerchief.

The appearance of Xiao Fengsheng in her memory is quite different from now, but if she thinks about it carefully, her temper doesn't seem to have changed much.

Stubborn and strong, even if the family is poor, you must dress her clean and decent.Although she is gentle towards children, she doesn't understand the child's thoughts at all. She gave her so many handkerchiefs, but she didn't know how to give her a better-looking hair tie.

Because at that time Xiao Zhen hadn't grown up at all—maybe it is now.

"I..." Huaran said slowly, "I admire you very much, and I think you should be proud of yourself. I believe that there are very few people who can do better than you in this situation..."

The light in Xiao Zhen's eyes gradually brightened, as if she really looked like a child.

"So, asking me to say forgiveness to you is really a bit frivolous and out of control."

"Since it was a joint decision between you and grandpa, I can accept it now. You don't have to feel guilty about me. I'm living a good life now, so I really don't need compensation."

"You don't owe me, and now, I don't owe you any more."

Huaran's expression showed real calm at this time, not indifference, but soft and relieved.

Xiao Zhen felt her heart was cold.

"But the role of mother in my life has long been absent, and I don't feel that I still need her. I believe that the same is true for your daughter. We have both proved that we can do well without each other, so now also You shouldn’t force this fate any more.”

As soon as Bai Shu felt the pain, Huaran's fingertips were almost embedded in her palm, but she didn't say a word.

Because compared with the physical pain, her heart is more uncomfortable.She believed that Huaran would only suffer more than herself.

Can blood ties really be broken?

She didn't know whether Huaran had made this decision before or just now, but she knew that this was her final answer.

"I thank you for giving birth to me, so I wish you a happier life in the future, and I will work hard to make myself live better, please don't worry anymore."

It's easy to hate someone, but forgiveness and letting go are the most difficult propositions in life.

The author has something to say: get as much as you give, the two used to have no mother-daughter fate and love, so don't say anything about forgiveness now.

As for the future, no one can say what will happen in the future.Still the same sentence, get as much as you pay.
