Li Xiaoyan's heart was riddled with holes, and her tears rolled out in strings, like broken beads falling to the ground.

"Have you forgotten the past?" Sister-in-law Meng was not ready to stop, so she continued: "When your father was still alive, what kind of life did we and my mother live in the hands of your father?

In your father's eyes, we are no different from the chickens and dogs at home. We can be scolded whenever we want, and we have to be beaten every three to five days.

Because you are the flesh that fell off my body, I couldn't bear to leave you. I was afraid that you would be beaten by your father if I left, so I stayed, and I managed to survive.

In the years after your father left, some people tried to make peace with me. Other families only allowed me to remarry because they thought you were a burden. No one agreed to let you come with me, and no one wanted to support you and send you to school.

You were born to me, and I couldn't bear to let you be abused. I would rather be a cow and a horse myself, and I also wanted to send you to study so that you could live a better life in the future, so I didn't agree to remarry.

Only old principal Yin can be such a matchmaker. Only the Zhou family has never disliked you from the beginning and is willing to raise you as a girl. It was also the Zhou family who said that the small village where you live is too remote, and you, a girl, go to school and walk on the mountain road.

It's not safe, so I offered to let you live with the Zhou family.

Miss Le met me once at the old principal's house, and she didn't object. Only then did the Zhou family feel that my mother and I were not snobbish, and we had a chance to enter the Zhou family.

Ask yourself, when you came to the Zhou family, did the Zhou family's grandma look down on you? Did your uncle Zhou dislike you for anything?

Xiaoyan, is it because the Zhou family is so good to you and the old man is so easy to talk to that you have forgotten your roots and become lawless?"

"No..." Li Xiaoyan's face turned pale little by little. She wanted to say no, but she couldn't even convince herself.

Grandma Zhou, Uncle Zhou were very kind to her, and the aunts of the Zhou family were also very kind. In the Zhou family, she had never suffered any grievances, and she did not have to be cautious in everything. The Zhou family never guarded against her like they guarded against thieves.

She also knew in her heart that her mother was right because the Zhou family treated her well. Her mother was now the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, the daughter-in-law of the uncle of the little boy from the Le family. She took it for granted that the Le family siblings had to respect her.

.

After being scolded by her mother, Li Xiaoyan cried even harder: "Mom, I know I was wrong."

After talking about the truth, Mrs. Meng felt relieved: "Nothing in this world comes for free. Only sincerity can replace sincerity. As long as you really know your mistake, go down and have a meal after thinking about it clearly."

"Yeah." Li Xiaoyan responded with a nasal voice, went to the bathroom to wash her face, and then followed her mother downstairs.

When she entered the kitchen and saw Grandma Zhou and Uncle Zhou, Li Xiaoyan didn't dare to lose her temper. She called Grandma and Uncle Zhou and sat down with her mother.
