Chapter 342 Tears filled eyes
Chapter 342 Tears filled eyes
Every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I always dream that my daughter has come back. Now I finally see her again, but she has become like this. I feel so heartbroken.
"Mom." The girl cried out and threw herself towards the woman. The two hugged each other and cried bitterly, with excitement and joy intertwined.
The pregnant woman's belly had already become flat. She originally thought that she would stay in that place without seeing the sun for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect that one day she would see her former mother-in-law again.
She had been without a mother since she was a child. Since she married a stepmother, she was not even as good as a maid at home. She would be beaten by her father and stepmother if she was not careful.
Later, she got married with great difficulty. Her mother-in-law and husband treated her very well. She thought her life was finally coming to an end after all the hardship. But she didn't expect that something bad would happen once she went out after she became pregnant.
It actually caused her to be separated from her family and she lost her child. When she thought of that child, she felt so painful that she felt suffocated and she thought about death countless times.
But she still fantasized about being able to get out one day. Now that day has finally come, she felt timid because she had already been violated by that beast.
The moment she saw her mother-in-law, she wanted to go forward but was too ashamed to face her. She could only stand there motionless, tears falling like beads from a broken string.
Naturally, the mother-in-law also saw her. Her daughter-in-law had suffered for such a long time, and she wondered how scared she must be.
His legs unconsciously moved towards her, and he stretched out his hands tremblingly, wanting to touch her, but stopped one centimeter away from her.
She thought of her crazy son and burst into tears. They had always been a good family, but now it had become like this. When she died, she wouldn't know how to face her old man in the underworld.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back any longer. They hugged each other and cried, their tears filled with endless grievances and sorrow.
The woman dressed up by Li Xiaoxiao and her daughter were also among them. Just now, she secretly looked towards the lobby and felt that the sound was a little wrong.
Moreover, the figure from behind didn't look like her mother. Although she had doubts in her heart, she didn't tell anyone.
It was not until she arrived at the lobby and looked at the woman with her own eyes that she saw the large red birthmark on her face. Although she looked very similar to her mother, she was sure that the woman in front of her was definitely not her mother.
She recognized her mother, with whom she had depended on for more than ten years, at a glance. As she got closer, the feeling of strangeness became even stronger.
Li Xiaoxiao gave her a look, then walked forward, took her hand, and hugged her gently, while her low voice sounded in his ears.
"I'm not your mother, but I don't have any ill will towards you. It's not convenient to talk here because there are so many people around. I'll tell you everything later." Li Xiaoxiao was in tears, just like a mother who had been separated from her daughter for many days.
When she heard the word "mother", the girl could no longer hold back her tears and burst into tears, hugging Li Xiaoxiao tightly, fearing that it would be like the many times she had dreamed, and nothing would have changed when she woke up.
She really regretted why she agreed to go with her mother to find her relatives. If she had not come to the capital, she and her mother would still be living a peaceful life at home.
Now she urgently wanted to know where her mother had gone, why someone was pretending to be her, and who was the woman in front of her?
Because there were so many people, it took a while for the lawyer to calculate the accounts clearly and distribute the money to everyone. Each family received between one hundred and ten taels of silver.
Looking at the heavy silver in their hands, everyone was so excited that tears filled their eyes. Even kowtowed to the prefect several times, it was not enough to express their gratitude.
"All of you please stand up. As a local official, I will naturally seek justice for you. However, Nie Junfeng is willing to pay the money, so according to the law, his sentence can only be six months in prison."
The prefect cares about the people and cannot bear to see so many of them suffer, but his ability is limited and this is the best he can do.
"Mr. Prefect, you have done a great job. If it were someone else, we would not be able to get the money, and my daughter would not come back." Li Xiaoxiao grabbed the girl's hand and said with gratitude.
What she said was the truth. Although there were many officials in the capital, there were not many who were as upright and honest as the prefect who worked for the people.
"Well, now that you are reunited with your family, you must live a good life. Make sure to hide the silver you are given well and don't let someone with ulterior motives see it and snatch it away." The prefect nodded and said earnestly.
Everyone thanked him again and took the silver back. Li Xiaoxiao held the girl's hand and walked to a remote corner outside the yamen.
After making sure that no one was following her, Li Xiaoxiao peeled off the birthmark on her face, revealing a beautiful face.
The girl looked at the thin human skin mask, which was so realistic, but she didn't care about it.
"Where is my mother?" the girl asked anxiously. Why did she still not see her mother even after she came out of the county government office?
Looking at the girl's thin face, Li Xiaoxiao really couldn't bear to tell her the truth, but she had the right to know, so she sighed softly and spoke slowly.
"I'll tell you, but I hope you won't be too sad." Li Xiaoxiao pondered for a while and found it difficult to speak. When she was dressing up as this woman, she had a certain understanding of the mother and daughter.
The woman was also a miserable person. Her husband died of illness when her daughter was a few years old, leaving them an orphan and a widow. They were bullied by their parents-in-law and brothers and sisters-in-law all year round. The two of them had to depend on each other for so many years.
They came to Beijing to look for the girl's grandparents, but because they had not been in contact for many years, they had already moved out of their original residence. Before they could find anyone, this incident happened.
The girl in front of him now can be said to have no relatives. Even if he found her grandparents, what could they do? They have lost their daughter, so how could they still have a granddaughter?
Hearing Li Xiaoxiao say this, the girl's heart was shocked. A bad idea instantly jumped into her mind and her face was full of disbelief.
He stared at Li Xiaoxiao blankly without saying a word, and in just a moment his eyes were filled with tears.
Under her earnest gaze, Li Xiaoxiao finally spoke out: "When they kidnapped you, your mother went up to argue with them and accidentally hurt her head. Later, she didn't have the money to treat it in time. In addition, she couldn't see you, so she became depressed and died not long after."
The girl seemed not to have heard anything. Her expression was dull and she looked in one direction without any anxiety. To her, Li Xiaoxiao's words were like a fairy tale.
