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

Everyone in the group held their breath and stopped in tacit understanding.

He Erhua turned her head and looked at the children.

After some eye contact, I finally decided to go over and see what was going on.

They approached the river cautiously. When they got closer, He Erhua could see clearly that it was a little girl squatting on the ground burning paper.

Who would come to the river to burn paper so early in the morning?

In the bleak autumn wind, a little girl in white clothes and with disheveled hair squatted on the ground burning paper, with intermittent crying sounds coming from her mouth.

"Mother, you can rest in peace down there..."

When a few people heard this, they realized that it was the little girl burning paper for her deceased mother, so they tactfully wanted to leave.

But things did not go as planned. Just when He Erhua and others wanted to leave and go somewhere else to relax, a gust of wind suddenly blew by and blew away the unburned paper money in the little girl's hand.

The little girl stood up quickly, anxious to retrieve the paper money that was blown away by the wind. As she stood up, she happened to meet He Erhua's eyes.

When the two looked at each other, He Erhua recognized the girl's identity at a glance.

She is actually——

Miss Peony!

Today, Miss Shaoyao was dressed in plain clothes, with no makeup on her face. She looked like two completely different people from the one she had in the court that day.

"Ms. Shaoyao, why are you here?" He Erhua looked at the woman in front of her in surprise.

Isn't she pregnant with her ex-husband's child? Shouldn't she be staying in Fu's house and taking good care of the baby now?

He Erhua's eyes moved down from Shaoyao's face to her flat belly before she withdrew her inquiring gaze. There was a hint of doubt in He Erhua's eyes.

Shaoyao also recognized He Erhua. Wasn’t this poor and miserable woman Fu Xinren’s tragic ex-wife?

She calmed herself down, concealed the sadness in her eyes, and said calmly, "I'm here to pay tribute to my mother."

"Big sister, are you and your mother also from Daquan Village?"

Hu Xianxian, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly spoke up. She looked at her sister and felt so sad for her.

When Shaoyao heard Hu Xianxian's words, she was stunned for a moment, then looked at her again, her tone still indifferent, "No."

They thought their conversation ended here. He Erhua felt that they were being rude and disturbing others who were commemorating their deceased mother, so she wanted to take the children somewhere else and leave this place to Shaoyao.

Just when He Erhua was about to open her mouth to say goodbye, Shaoyao suddenly let out a long sigh.

"My mother was not from Daquan Village, but she died in Daquan Village."

She looked up at He Erhua, then at the children behind her. A trace of envy and sadness flashed in her eyes, and then a bitter smile appeared on her face.

"My mother gave birth to me in a brothel. When I was five years old, my mother died in this river in Daquan Village."

"She drowned herself in the river."

"The body was in the river for half a month, and I almost didn't recognize her."

"My mother is my only relative. Now those who harmed her have received retribution. My mother can rest in peace now."

As Shaoyao spoke, she squatted down again, picked up the paper money that had not been burned yet and continued burning it.

After hearing Shaoyao's words, He Erhua looked at her with a bit of pity in her eyes.

This girl was just a miserable and pitiful girl, only a few years older than her daughter Yinzhang, but she had lost her mother since she was young, and she didn't know who her father was. She was also deceived by Fu Xinren.

Thinking of this, He Erhua's eyes darkened and she looked at Shaoyao's flat belly again.

"Miss Shaoyao, you...why don't you leave Fu Xinren? He is definitely not a good match. You can get away as soon as possible while the child is still young."

As long as she left that scumbag's family, whether Shaoyao gave birth to the child or not, it would be better than staying in the Fu family. She was just worried that the little girl was not smart enough, and when the child was older, she would be trapped by the Fu family and it would be difficult to get out.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what He Erhua said, Shaoyao suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Sister Erhua?" Shaoyao shouted, and then glanced at Fu Yinzhang, who was not much younger than He Erhua and was standing next to her, and felt that this seemed a little inappropriate.

After thinking about it, she couldn't think of anything appropriate to shout, so she just called out He Erhua's name.

"Erhua, you are so naive. Fortunately, I am not a bad person. You should be more careful in the future."

"Miss Shaoyao, I'm serious. Fu Xinren is really not a good person. Don't be fooled by him."

He Erhua couldn't help feeling anxious when she saw that Shaoyao could still laugh.

Shaoyao was amused by He Erhua's appearance.

What a fool she is!

Even if someone sold He Erhua one day, she would probably help the other person count the money.

But He Erhua is the first person who truly cares about her besides her mother.

This familiar yet strange warmth inevitably touched Shaoyao's softest part. She looked at He Erhua with a complicated look.

Shaoyao opened her mouth as if possessed by a ghost, "He didn't lie to me, I lied to him."

"He is not a good man! Miss Shaoyao, you should find a way to escape from this den of tigers and wolves as soon as possible..."

He Erhua didn't hear clearly what Shaoyao said about who cheated whom, and subconsciously thought that Fu Xinren was the bad guy, and kept persuading Shaoyao.

Hu Xianxian was listening attentively. Seeing that Aunt Erhua had misunderstood what the older sister meant, she quickly reached out her hand and pulled He Erhua's sleeve to remind her.

"Aunt Erhua, this elder sister was not deceived..."

"Ah?" He Erhua was puzzled.

Hu Xianxian added, "Big sister was not deceived, it was Big sister who deceived others."

He Erhua finally understood what Hu Xianxian meant. She opened her mouth in shock. She suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. So she turned her head and cast a questioning look at Shaoyao.

Shaoyao patiently repeated what she had just said.

"Erhua, I was not deceived. I deceived Fu Xinren. I am not pregnant. I made that up to trick him into redeeming me."

This time He Erhua finally heard clearly that Fu Xinren was the victim.

This is really great!

"No wonder Fu Xinren and his mother went crazy yesterday, blocking my door and clamoring to see me and Yinzhang. I thought he finally found his conscience, but it turns out he wanted me and my daughter to go back and work like slaves!"

He Erhua looked as if she suddenly understood.

Seeing that He Erhua had come to her senses, Shaoyao was also relieved. She seemed smarter now and not the stupid woman she had imagined.

Women in this world tend to be soft-hearted, and their family members are trying to stop them.

Normally, even if a man makes a huge mistake, he can just apologize and forget about it. Things will go on as they should, and only the woman and the child will continue to be hurt.

All men in this world are bad guys and will only make women sad.

"Okay, now that you know, be more careful next time. I have to go now, take care."

After burning the paper money, Shaoyao stood up, waved and said goodbye to He Erhua.

"Okay, Miss Shaoyao, take care of yourself too." He Erhua imitated Shaoyao and waved at her receding back.

The group of little kids behind her also learned to imitate her, waving their little hands at Shaoyao's back until they could no longer see her.

The sun came out, and several children happily rolled up their trousers and jumped into the river nearby to catch fish and shrimps.

He Erhua quietly watched the children playing and fighting by the river, and recalled the conversation with Miss Shaoyao early in the morning, and her heart relaxed a lot.

It was almost noon when He Erhua took her children home. Before she reached home, she met a strange man on the road.

"Hello, do you know how to get to He Laoliu's house?"
