When it came to her granddaughter getting married, Xu Taohua choked up and choked with tears at the thought of never seeing her eldest granddaughter again.

"Xiaoxue, over the years, you always said that grandma loves Xia Xia... That's because... you have a mother who loves Xia Xia, but Xia Xia doesn't have a mother who loves her..."

"When your eldest aunt went there, your eldest uncle seemed like the sky was falling. He couldn't take care of her. We were busy taking care of your eldest aunt's funeral.

No one was watching, and Xia Xia crawled into your aunt's arms alone. Your aunt was so cold that she nestled next to your aunt and slept for who knows how long..."

Every time she thought of that scene, Xu Taohua felt extremely sorry for her granddaughter.

"After handling the funeral arrangements for your eldest aunt, Xia Xia became seriously ill again and almost died. Grandma thought it was your eldest aunt who wanted to take Xia Xia away...

Grandma took Xia Xia back and forth to your aunt's grave, and promised her that grandma would raise Xia Xia herself, and Xia Xia slowly got better..."

"Xiaoxue, grandma is telling you this because she wants you to know that grandma loves Xia Xia more, but your grandma really tries her best to hold a bowl of water evenly."

"Grandma... 嘘嘤嘤..." Lin Xiaoxue cried so hard that she didn't know that the old lady saved her dowry, let alone her cousin's past.

"Grandma, no one has ever told me this!"

"Of course no one said anything." Xu Taohua gritted her teeth, "As soon as your aunt's affairs are settled, your mother can't wait to take you back to your parents' home."

"If it weren't for the fear that you would leave with the knot in your heart, grandma wouldn't want to mention a word about Xia Xia's past when she was a child. Grandma is afraid... I'm really afraid. She's afraid that Xia Xia won't be able to get married, and she's afraid of your uncle... ..”

"If your eldest aunt hadn't kept Xia Xia back then, your uncle would have gone with your eldest aunt."

"Over the years, you always feel that your grandparents, your uncle, your first cousin, and your second cousin all favor Xia Xia and don't care for you!"

"Xiaoxue, you are the eldest daughter of the second wife. You have a father who loves you and a mother who loves you. You also have a lot of cousins ​​to get close to. You have a lot that Xia Xia doesn't have."

Thinking that her granddaughter was going to the capital to be a concubine, Xu Taohua felt very regretful at this time.

I chose the wrong second daughter-in-law, thinking that my eldest granddaughter would be taught by her own mother, but I didn't take it seriously, so my granddaughter went astray.

She wiped her tears with her sleeve, took out another two taels of silver from her arms, and put them in the small clay pot.

"Xiaoxue, it's grandma's fault. Grandma should have made it clear to you earlier. Maybe you wouldn't have chosen this most difficult path. It's not easy to be a concubine. You should bring the money for self-defense!"

Lin Xiaoxue was surprised for a moment while holding the small clay pot. She stopped crying and said shyly: "Grandma, it's not difficult to leave. The adults treat Xiaoxue very well."

Lin Lixia wiped away her tears and looked down upon Lin Xiaoxue's inability to hold them back.

In her memory, there was no such dusty past of the Lin family as what the old lady said.

Suddenly hearing the old lady say this, she, who was always very tearful, couldn't help but burst into tears.

Looking at Lin Xiaoxue's expression, it seems that the two of them are one-quarter blood related.

She decided to choose Lin Xiaoxue one last time because of this quarter blood relationship.

"Cousin, happiness is something you build yourself. Just like grandma said, you have a lot that I don't have.

But you prefer to listen to your second aunt's words and feel that your grandparents, father, and brother love me but not you, and you feel wronged and pitiful. "

"If you think about it carefully, my second aunt has been very strong-tempered these years and looks down on my second uncle in everything. Isn't it true that all of you, along with you, have also neglected my second uncle?"

"You have ignored that your second uncle loves you more than me. What is this? This is the difference between closeness and distance."

"I would never expect my second uncle to love me more than he loves you, my biological daughter. I will never ask Xiaoman, Xiaohan, and Xiaoshu to respect me, my cousin, more than you, my biological sister."

"..." Lin Xiaoxue raised her eyes with confusion. She had never thought about this before.

Now I heard my cousin say it in detail. When she was young, her father would indeed bring her something to eat every time he went out.

Since when did dad stop bringing her food? It seems that she and her mother have been on the same side ever since.

Her younger brothers and sisters, not to mention, have always respected her as a biological sister, more so than her cousins.

But isn't that how it should be?

"Li... Xia, you tell me this, I understand. When I arrive in the capital, I will do my best to take care of you!"

"..." Who gave Lin Xiaoxue the confidence? Lin Lixia was speechless and held her forehead.

"Cousin, the purpose of what I say is that I want you to understand that you are always loved and respected by others. You don't have to always put yourself as a victim and let Gong Xingtai coax you around with a few sweet words."

Lin Xiaoxue frowned, hearing these words was harsh: "Li... Xia, your lord is true to me. He has never deceived me. I don't allow you to say this to your lord."

"..." Lin Lixia was speechless. Lin Xiaoxue perfectly explained to her what it means to have a love brain that cannot be awakened by others, only by yourself.

"Cousin, you gave your heart to Gong Xingtai without reservation. What if his love for you disappears one day? How do you survive?"

"...No...it won't happen!" Lin Xiaoxue shook her head, not liking a word of what her cousin said.

"My lord said that he would pity me, cherish me, love me, and protect me for the rest of my life."

Lin Lixia took another dose of strong medicine: "Cousin, think about it again, did he also say this to his first wife?"

"..." Lin Xiaoxue paused for a moment, her tears flowing uncontrollably, "Li... Xia, why are you telling me this? Do you want to see me?"

"...Whether you are good or bad, do you have anything to do with me?" Lin Lixia was about to collapse from love.

If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't see the old lady in pain.

She didn't bother to say a word to Love Brain.

The elderly are always like this. Whichever child is pitiful, they always pity the poor child more.

In the past, in the heart of the old lady, she had not had a mother since she was a child and had experienced corpse crawling. She always felt that she was pitiful, so she naturally sympathized with her more.

Now, Lin Xiaoxue was going to the capital to be a concubine, and the old lady felt sorry for Lin Xiaoxue's future hardship.

All the hard-earned money saved from cutting mugwort and rolling moxibustion sticks was given to Lin Xiaoxue.

Seeing that the old lady was feeling uncomfortable, Lin Lixia got up and went back to the house, taking out four money bags.

The money bag contained all copper coins, a total of two thousand, three hundred and twenty-five cents.

It's all the robbers' ill-gotten gains.

She was not practical even with flowers, so it was better to add some makeup to Lin Xiaoxue to make the old lady feel better.

"Cousin, no matter how much I try to persuade you, you don't want to hear it. This money is for our eldest son to pay for your beauty."

"Cousin, from now on, we two sisters will stay apart and stay safe! We don't need you to take care of our family!"

"Li... Xia! 嘤嘤嘤..." Lin Xiaoxue cried while holding the heavy bag of money.

She was surprised when her grandmother gave her a dowry; she was even more surprised when her cousin added so much to her.

Hearing Lin Xiaoxue cry again, Lihua's tearful look made people feel pity for her.

Lin Lixia was inexplicably irritated: "Okay, don't cry. Let me ask you, Gong Xingtai is penniless, where did the expense of your return to Beijing come from?"
