wife's choice

Chapter 550 Xu Wanqiu's Tragic Childhood!

My hand loosened weakly, and at that moment, I seemed to hear the sound of my heart breaking.

His chest felt uncomfortable for a while, and he wanted to vent but couldn't find a way.

As I said, I've thought up all the excuses for her, but she didn't even open her mouth to explain one.

"why?"

"I beg you, tell me, will you?"

"Just take it. Just take it as the only birthday wish in my life!"

Xu Wanqiu, who helped Mu Chenfeng to the door, stopped and looked back at me slowly.

I tried to look at her with a calm expression, but my nose was a little sore.

That's right.

today is my birthday.

Since I was a child, I have never had a birthday. It used to be because I was poor, and I didn’t think it was necessary, and it was not a particularly important thing.

In order to get Xu Wanqiu to agree to come to dinner last night, I moved my mother and daughter out. At that time, I thought that if she still refused, I would use the birthday thing as an example.

I am very happy that she can come here today. I thought the four of us would have a happy meal, and I will talk about the birthday again.

But Cheng Yaojin, Mu Chenfeng, was killed, and he finally got drunk, and Xu Wanqiu was about to leave again, so I said it.

I touched the box in the pocket of my clothes, and what was lying in it was the pair of blood jadeite rings that those rich people crave for. In fact, if things go well tonight, I will talk to you in front of my mother and daughter. She proposes.

I have everything ready.
Xu Wanqiu asked lightly: "Why are you so persistent?"

"As I said, as long as you never leave, I will depend on you forever! You are my woman, this is an unchangeable fact!" I said loudly.

Xu Wanqiu was silent for a while, and said a word with a trembling voice: "Okay"

I watched in astonishment as she put Mu Chenfeng down just like that.

He sat down in front of me, took out a cigarette and lit it.

At this time, the mother and daughter had fallen asleep.

Perhaps it was my persistence that made her completely let go of her defenses.

Or maybe she drank too much and was too tired to persist alone, so she wanted to share with someone.

"Do you know why Lin Miqi, that is, why Lin Meili calls me Xu Xiaoqi?"

Xu Wanqiu exhaled the smoke slowly, looking at the wine glass in front of her with unfocused eyes.

Speaking of this, I'm really curious, isn't her name Xu Wanqiu?How could he be called such a silly name as Xu Xiaoqi.

The name always feels a bit familiar!
just like.
The old people in the village are not very educated, so they name their children, or they just take care of the leftovers, and the rest are Zhao Laosi, Liu Laowu, etc., and they are named according to the ranking in the family, so as to save trouble .

Thinking of this, I looked at her in astonishment, could she be...
Xu Wanqiu nodded, and smiled bitterly: "You guessed it right, in fact, I am not from Jinlan, nor am I a person who has lived in the city since I was a child."

She flicked the ash lightly.

Smoking a cigarette, he told me a story in a flat tone.

A story that makes my smoking hand and heart tremble
Xu Wanqiu's real name was Xu Xiaoqi, and her family lived in a rural area, but she couldn't remember which village she was from.

Because, she was too young!
She was the seventh eldest in the family, and there were six elder brothers in front of her. She was the only daughter, and the oldest elder brother was already in junior high school at that time.

The family is very difficult, the mother is sick in bed, and only the father can carry the whole family, but they can't even do the most basic food.

A long time has passed, and she was very young at the time, so she couldn't remember some things clearly.

The only thing I remember clearly is that on the first day of the new year of that year, the whole village was covered with snow.

Other families are immersed in the joy of the New Year, with firecrackers and delicious food, and the happy shouts of children spread throughout the corners of the village.

And her home.
However, it was always shrouded in a haze, and the kerosene lamp in the father's room was lit from the New Year's Eve to the next day.

After dawn, she found that the table was full of dishes.

Although, it's just ordinary green cabbage and porridge.

But it is something that she has never expected, but she can't eat. She usually eats taro, that is, potatoes, and she still can't get enough.

Her father carried her to the table with dark eyes, brought her bowls and chopsticks, and let her eat as much as she wanted today.

The six elder brothers could only swallow and watch. Anyone who tried to move would be beaten by her father. Her father kept frowning and smoking the sweaty cigarette he rolled.

Occasional sobbing came from the parents' room.

When she was young and ignorant, she shared food with her brothers and was beaten by her father.

At this time, she also realized that something was wrong, and kept crying with her mouth wide open.

"Eat, child, have a full meal."

The father, who was overwhelmed by life, secretly wiped away his tears, and forcibly stuffed porridge and vegetables into her mouth.

How long she had eaten this meal she could not remember.

I only remember that after eating, her father took her little hand and left home.

The six older brothers stood at the gate of their house without walls, watching her being taken away by their father with tears in their eyes.

Keep walking and walking.

When she reached the other side of the mountain, her father tidied up the shabby jacket that had been made from her brother's shabby clothes, and patted her head, telling her to stand here obediently and not move.

Then the father turned and left.

She had been crying since eating, her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't make a sound, and her father didn't come back to take her back.

The eldest brother, who had already entered junior high school, followed her father quietly, appeared in front of her, and took her down the mountain.

Instead of taking her home, he quietly stuffed her into the cargo box of a passenger car bound for the city, waved goodbye to her with red eyes, and let her try her best to live on.

A child of a few years old was abandoned in the deep mountains and old forests on the first day of the new year, and then was taken to an unknown place by a bus. How could it be possible to live alone?

When the bus arrived in the city, she got off the bus quietly and became a beggar in the city. She was hungry and full, and wanted to grab food from wild dogs and cats. She was also tricked into becoming a thief and was beaten if she couldn't steal anything.

Just when those people wanted to cripple her hands and feet and let her go to win sympathy and cheat money, those people were arrested, and she also entered the orphanage.

When I said this, the cigarette in Xu Wanqiu's hand burned her hand, but she didn't feel any pain at all, she threw it away casually and lit another one, smiling at me indifferently.

I bit my cigarette butt, I couldn't believe that she had such a sad childhood.

No wonder, she refused to believe anyone, even me, she never showed that she believed that I would always be by her side.

Even her dearest father can abandon her, what else in this world is worthy of her trust?

Looking at Xu Wanqiu in front of me, I am more convinced that I want to give her a warm home and future
