Stealing the moonlight into my arms

"As for this family, they don't have anything else but a wonderful daughter. When she was little, she was the best student in our village. But the old man and woman wouldn't let her go to school, so they asked her to come back to work to support her two younger brothers. The teacher even came to the house to beg for mercy, but the old man and woman were determined, saying that there was no point in having a daughter study. The more important thing for her to do is to earn two more years of money and find a good family as soon as possible."

"This girl worked hard on her own. She worked in the factory and studied on her own. Later, with the help of a teacher in town, she was admitted to high school and went to the county town to study. At that time, the two old people were so angry that they brought a group of relatives and cried, made a scene, and even threatened to commit suicide. They said they would bring their daughter back to them no matter what."

"That was too much for anyone to bear. It was only then that the old village party secretary couldn't stand it anymore. He said that they would pay for the girl's education from now on, and also provide her with a living allowance every year. Only then did the couple give up. Of course, the living allowance must have gone into the old woman's pocket."

"Later, the girl was admitted to university and was going to stay in the big city after graduation. The old woman had bad intentions again. The girl was beautiful, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, a small face, and fair and tender skin. At that time, the old woman accepted a betrothal gift of 5,000 yuan and was about to marry her off. The son of the family that proposed marriage looked like a pig-headed man, short and fat like Wu Dalang, with only a single line of eyes. Don't you see how shabby he was..."

"Luckily, the girl later found a partner, also a scholar. When the old woman first came to her house, she asked for a betrothal gift of 100,000 yuan. When did that 100,000 yuan come from? She actually asked for it! In the end, she gave it to him, and the old woman was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling."

"Later, every year, I watched the old woman show off all year round. This year it was 200,000 yuan, next year it was 300,000 yuan. The villa was also built by her son-in-law's brother. Everyone knew that her daughter had married well with such fanfare, and she was willing to honor them. The old woman was almost walking sideways in the village."

Having said this, Old Lady Ma slowed down her breathing and sighed deeply.

"That girl was unlucky. She had a good life. After several years of marriage, she and her husband had a child. They thought it was the beginning of a happier life, but she had a heavy hemorrhage during childbirth and died."

"That son-in-law is good too. He never remarried and always brings his children back to visit them every year. He gives them everything he's owed. The old woman cries in front of him when he comes, and as soon as he leaves, she closes the door and uses a money counter to count the money at home, dividing it between her two sons. Life is pretty..."

"Tell me, isn't this just gnawing on a dead person's bones?"

"The old woman always says that her granddaughter killed her daughter. I think it was the bad luck in their family that killed their daughter. The daughter must have been unlucky for eight lifetimes to be born into their family. How could such a good bamboo shoot grow out of a bad bamboo family?"

This was the first time Zhou Yixing heard about Fu Runing's mother. His throat felt a little difficult and he didn't know what to say.

But Fu Runing had already turned his back quietly.

Based on the tacit understanding they had developed over the years, Zhou Yixing concluded that she must have gone crying.

Seeing that it was almost time, Zhou Yixing stopped talking about Old Lady Ma, asked her to take him around the village, and pretended to film some content.

The rice, flour, grain and oil in the trunk of the car were also moved to Mrs. Ma's house as promised.

……

The car drove to a remote factory area. Fu Runing got out of the car and couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

When she heard information about her mother from other people again, she still couldn't control her emotions.

Zhou Yixing handed her a tissue and didn't try to comfort her. He just waited for her to calm down.

After a while, Zhou Yixing asked, "What are your plans for the next step?"

Fu Runing wiped the tears from her face, her eyes full of fighting spirit again. She said, "Go find my aunt. None of them will have an easy life."
