The old woman became rich by relying on the supermarket instead of selling her granddaughter

As Peony finished her story.

There were low sobs from the crowd.

No one expected that so many things would happen to Shaoyao.

With such a big thing happening, it was not easy for her to hold on and survive on her own.

Not to mention, she actually avenged her mother and Xiaoyuan.

That's really amazing.

Meng Lan understands the feeling of losing two loved ones one after another.

She was very young at that time and lost her two most important relatives, her mother and father, one after another. The feeling was really unbearable.

Until now, Meng Lan can still remember the days when she lost both her parents.

She and Shaoyao have the same idea now.

How could a child know what death is? She just thought that her parents had gone to another world.

First she couldn't find her mother, and then she couldn't find her father.

During that period of time, she didn't think about anything else but going to find her parents.

Fortunately, she still had her grandmother at that time.

Grandma gave birth to a son and a daughter for her father and aunt. The old lady lost her only son. Especially when both her son and daughter-in-law died in an accident, she almost didn't survive.

Meng Lan still remembers what her grandmother said before she died, that she must live well. She just missed her parents so much and wanted to go over there to see them.

Her grandmother was worried that the child might go there to find them if she became depressed, so she gave them specific instructions.

After she left, Meng Lan had to listen to her aunt, eat well, sleep well, and grow up well. Only in this way would she have the chance to see her father, mother, and grandmother.

Little Menglan believed it.

Every day after her grandmother passed away, she looked forward to growing up.

But after little Menglan became big Menglan, she realized that growing up was not actually happy.

No matter how much money she has, she will not be happy.

She couldn't even find someone to share it with.

Grandma lied to her.

Growing up is not good at all.

Meng Lan herself was in such a state, she couldn't even imagine how Shaoyao had managed to survive in such a harsh environment.

She didn't know whether she was feeling sorry for Shaoyao or for her younger self.

But at this moment, she just wanted to hug Shaoyao.

This is what Meng Lan thought and did.

She opened her arms, gently held Shaoyao in her arms, raised her hand and patted her back gently.

"Child, don't cry..."

At this moment, Meng Lan felt that she was a bit like her grandmother.

Child, don't cry...

Hearing this name, Shaoyao, whose eyes were red and tears were welling up in them, could no longer hold back her tears.

Ever since her mother and Aunt Xiaoyuan left, no one in this world treats her as a child anymore.

Peony takes after her mother.

Not only do they look alike, but their fates and personalities are also very similar.

The reason why Old Lady Fu and the others did not recognize Shaoyao as A Xiang's daughter was because they had always ignored A Xiang in the past and had never looked at A Xiang carefully on weekdays.

So even though they knew she was beautiful, they could never remember her face.

Dou Yong, the only one who remembered Ah Xiang's appearance, had been killed by the knife many years ago.

Sometimes fate is so magical. Ah Xiang had died a long time ago and had no part in Shaoyao's growth, but her daughter is very similar to her in all aspects.

For example, now, Shaoyao feels kindness and warmth from Meng Lan.

Her body stiffened slightly, and there was a hint of caution in her eyes as she looked at Meng Lan.

She has met all kinds of people over the years, so she can naturally tell the difference between true and false feelings.

Shaoyao felt Meng Lan's kindness and compassion for her with her heart.

She was the first person to unleash such pure kindness on her.

Peony remembered it.

"I don't know what to call you, but anyway, thank you, and thank you for saving me just now."

Shaoyao's original intention was to die, and by saving her they were actually stopping her.

But Shaoyao knew that they were concerned about her, so she did not blame them at all.

She is not the kind of person who is ungrateful. If she blames someone for saving her life, wouldn't that be too inhuman?

Meng Lan was afraid that Shaoyao would try to commit suicide again in the future, so she asked her.

"Peony, do you have a place to live now? Do you have money to spend?"

After hearing what Meng Lan said, Shaoyao shook her head.

"No, I originally rented a house, but I thought I was going to leave, so I gave it up. I donated all the remaining money, not a penny left, because I wanted to leave with a clean slate..."

As she spoke, Shaoyao's voice became lower and lower.

Who would have thought she wasn't dead.

Now, there is one more tragic thing in the world.

The money is gone, but the person is still alive.

This sounds more terrifying than someone dying and not having all the money spent.

When Meng Lan heard her words, she secretly thought that something was wrong.

This person has no way out. He might as well not get so depressed that he seeks death one day.

After all, it’s a human life.

As long as you can live, live a little longer.

Who knows if there will be a next life, so live this life well.

Meng Lan thought to herself that if Shaoyao's biological mother Ah Xiang knew about this in the afterlife, she would definitely hope that her daughter would live a safe and long life.

Thinking of this, Meng Lan said to Shaoyao.

"If you have nowhere to go, why not stay in our Daquan Village."

Meng Lan did not suggest letting Shaoyao stay in her home.

No matter how pitiful she is, no matter how sympathetic she is, Meng Lan is not the kind of person who would just pick up someone home casually.

There has to be a limit to kindness.

Although Shaoyao had her own reasons for taking all the money from the Fu family and running away, people's hearts are unpredictable and no one can be sure whether this person will change.

just in case……

Is she used to getting something for nothing?

Meng Lan felt that Shaoyao should not be such a person, but this did not prevent her from speculating on human nature from the worst perspective.

When she heard that she could stay in Daquan Village, Shaoyao's eyes brightened.

She even confirmed it again with Meng Lan in disbelief.

"Really? Can I really stay?"

This is where her mother left. Shaoyao would always be happy if she could be closer to her.

Meng Lan nodded. "If you want to stay, I will explain the situation to the village chief and ask him to arrange an unused house for you to live in. But if you want food and drink, you will have to rely on yourself."

Meng Lan spoke such a long speech, and Shaoyao just listened to the "key points".

Eat and drink on your own?

On their own?

So what will she do?

Shaoyao thought about it and found that she didn't have any special skills.

She only knows how to...serve men with her beauty.

Realizing this, Shaoyao was distressed and frustrated.

When she was in the brothel, she had no psychological burden about this.

After all, visitors are guests.

People who come to the brothel are all looking for fun, so she can just treat it as an ordinary business.

But now she is no longer in the brothel.

If she went to Daquan Village, she would go out and recruit clients on her own...

She is a fellow villager. Isn't she destroying someone else's family?

Although Shaoyao once worked in a brothel, she is not a person without bottom line.

On the contrary, she is a very principled person.

Looking at Shaoyao's expression, Meng Lan roughly guessed what this girl was thinking.

The corners of her mouth twitched.

The self-reliance she mentioned was not what Shaoyao thought.

If that were really the case, Meng Lan believed that He Dazhu wanted to kill her.

So, without waiting for Shaoyao to ask anything, Meng Lan continued.
