Chapter 152 True Face
"It's also my fault. I didn't expect that we would end up like this. I just wanted you to live happily every day, but now you can't do anything. Alas!" Tan Yali sighed.
Although these words were discouraging, they only moved Lou Xiao'e deeply.
Before liberation, she and Tan Yali were really unimportant people in the Tan family.
When Tan Yali was old and ugly, if Lou Bancheng were still alive, she would probably still be able to make a living.
If Lou Bancheng was gone and Lou Xiao'e couldn't rely on her husband to gain status, then Tan Yali would also end up being kicked out of the house.
I guess the result will be worse than that of a deaf old lady.
If the concubines and the outer houses in the early years could not earn money for their old age when they were in their prime, they would be worse off than beggars on the street.
Because before liberation it was not like in ancient times, where whether one was a wife or a concubine, at least there was a status.
But a few years ago, we didn’t even have a formal status, and the higher-ups didn’t allow it at all!
As for Lou Xiao'e, as long as she comes of age, she will definitely be the object of marriage between the Lou family and another family.
The key point is that because she is not the daughter of the first wife, it is impossible for her to marry into a good family of equal status.
After all, at that time, the mother and daughter had no hope in life.
Just like the cotton-fluffing sound that He Yuzhu heard just now, it was not that Lou Xiao'e did not learn it well, but that she had never learned it at all.
It was only after Lou Xiao'e moved into the small Western-style building that she discovered these things. It was obvious that these were things that the main wife didn't want, but Lou Xiao'e treated them as treasures.
At this time, Lou Xiao'e was hugging Tan Yali's arm and acting coquettishly.
Not only He Yuzhu had never seen Lou Xiao'e like this, but even Lou Bancheng had never seen her like this.
That is to say, Lou Xiao'e's true heart is only given to her mother Tan Yali at this time.
This is very similar to He Yuzhu and his sister.
Tan Yali felt dizzy after being shaken by Lou Xiaoe, but she slapped her daughter a few times.
After struggling to break away from Lou Xiao'e's entanglement, he said to her: "What do you think of Master Xiao He just now?"
Lou Xiao'e didn't look shy at this time, but instead said with a hint of suspicion: "Mom, that person looked at me very strangely, almost the same way you looked at me.
If I didn’t know his age, I would have thought he was my elder.”
If He Yuzhu were here and heard this, he would definitely be shocked.
He thought he had hidden it well, but he had experienced a past life after all, and he felt very indebted to Lou Xiao'e. Although he didn't say anything just now, his eyes unconsciously showed some pity and pain.
But the well-hidden trace of pity was observed by her when Lou Xiao'e looked up inadvertently.
Life is a cycle, and it is always sad that a beautiful woman does not recognize her old lover.
Tan Yali hesitated for a moment, but said to Lou Xiaoe: "I have also asked people about this Xiao He.
He is a responsible and opinionated person.
His father ran off with a widow, and he, a half-grown boy, fought against bad neighbors, supported his family and took care of his sister. It is said that he is now a very active figure in the street. "
"Mom, why are you telling me this?" Lou Xiao'e started to act coquettishly with Tan Yali again.
This time, Tan Yali did not beat her daughter, but pulled Lou Xiao'e to sit on the sofa.
She sighed and said, “If a person does not think about the present, he will worry about the future.
We are mother and daughter, and you are my only child in this life. If I don’t think about you, who should I think about?
We, mother and daughter, now look like a cluster of flowers, very different from before.
But in reality, our situation hasn't changed at all.
The principal wife of the Lou family will never be your mother, and you are not the eldest daughter of the Lou family.
You are from a wealthy family, who knows who your father will marry you to?
Instead of that, Mom wants to take a gamble for you.
You have to go, leave this house!
I have some money, but more is not good for you. What you lack now is a business to stand on.
Even if Mom risks her life, she will let you…"
"Mom!" Lou Xiao'e's voice was already filled with tears. Everyone is a living person, and naturally has his or her own ideas.
In this regard, we can only say that He Yuzhu is thinking too simply.
He Yuzhu followed Yu Shui back home. Because he was so excited about meeting Lou Xiao'e again, he didn't notice that Yu Shui looked a little sad.
The rain water had been filling the air for a long time, but her brother didn't notice it, which made the little girl a little embarrassed.
After holding it in for a long time, he could only roll his eyes at He Yuzhu.
Wait until He Yuzhu held Yu Shui's small fleshy feet and washed her feet.
Yu Shui saw that her brother sometimes had a silly smile on his face, but sometimes became conflicted.
The rain couldn't help but let out a long sigh!
"well!……"
He Yuzhu only then realized that his little chatterbox had not been chattering to him nonstop since he came back.
The world of children is only about fun and boring, and the fun things that Yu Shui can remember are, for example, a child's parents' belts tied into a knot and he ended up peeing in his pants...
A naughty kid tricked his deskmate into eating his own booger as candy...
Whoever caught the clam put it in whose schoolbag...
After all, most of these are disgusting things.
But today, the rain said nothing.
He Yuzhu looked up at the girl, and Yu Shui was also looking at him.
He Yuzhu was speechless and said, "Tell me, what do you want? Or what did your good friends Yu Haitang and Zhang Shuqin buy?"
These two are Yu Shui’s classmates and also his good friends in school.
The reason why I didn’t ask Guo Shumiao was because of the relationship between the two families.
Whether it is the He family or the Guo family, if they buy things for their children, they will always buy two.
Of course, apart from the small items, you still have to pay for big things like clothes.
Even brothers settle accounts clearly, not to mention that Guo Lei's current income is much higher than He Yuzhu's.
Yu Shui shook her head, but asked seriously: "Brother, what is a child bride?"
He Yuzhu was confused and asked: "Who told you this?"
Yu Shui stood up and sat in the washbasin, but reached out to He Yuzhu's ear and said, "The neighbors in Uncle Guo's yard said that they wanted Shu Miao to be Brother Guo Lei's child bride."
He Yuzhu smiled and said indifferently: "That was just a joke!"
Yu Shui shook her head and retorted: "No, Auntie Guo nodded repeatedly after hearing what that person said, and she didn't object at all."
He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, remembering the age difference between Guo Lei and Guo Shumiao, but shook his head in self-mockery.
He reached out his hand and touched Yu Shui's head, then picked her up.
Yu Shui also skillfully wiped his feet on He Yuzhu's cotton coat.
He Yuzhu reached out and patted Yu Shui on the butt, scolding her: "You don't pay attention in class, but you listen to these gossips. Have you learned to analyze?"
Yu Shui was not willing to give in, and puffed up her cheeks and said, "What if Auntie Guo really thinks that?"
He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Aren't you good friends with Shu Miao? Go and replace her!"
This thing naturally attracted raindrops and beatings.
It was a commotion.
