Chapter 530: Chapter 530 Who Is My Father Chapter 530: Chapter 530 Who Is My Father Li Chunhua actually woke up after a short sleep, Bai Xiao had brought her back some food, simple buns and dumplings, since there really was nothing fancier, she hadn’t bought any soup.
She came back and boiled a kettle of water.
The old lady was sitting on the bed with her legs crossed, eating with gusto.
At the noon banquet, she had been too busy with all the superficial interactions and hadn’t really eaten at all.
She had been hungry for a while now.
“My biological father is Shang Feng, isn’t he?”
Suddenly, Bai Xiao’s casual words almost made the old lady choke.
She coughed several times, took a sip of water, and finally managed to swallow the bun that was stuck in her throat.
“Are you trying to choke me to death?”
“My biological mother is Yu Shaoya, and my biological father is Shang Feng, right?”
She actually knew the answer was very likely this one, but she still couldn’t help asking this tormenting question.
Probably everyone’s like this, without hearing that definitive answer, there’s always a hurdle in their hearts that can’t be overe.
“Why ask so many questions? That Shang fellow is no good, stay away from him in the future. I’m saying this for your own good, don’t be ungrateful,” Li Chunhua said irritably, continuing to eat.
“I just want an answer, I know it’s him! Why are you so unwilling to tell me?”
Bai Xiao certainly didn’t think the old lady was doing this for her.
Li Chunhua looked up, somewhat petulant, and glanced at Bai Xiao. Seeing Bai Xiao’s cool gaze, she froze. This girl really did look a lot like her own mother.
With a deep sigh, the anger in her heart suddenly dissipated.
“Your real mother, Yu Shaoya, was a pitiful woman. We don’t know the specifics of their relationship, but your dad… I mean my eldest son, told me that your mom gave up everything for Shang Feng, deserted by everyone, and got what she deserved in the end. Your mom regretted it for a long time, but she never wrote to your uncles or anyone. She said she wanted you to grow up properly, she said that man wasn’t your father and only hoped you’d be the person you want to be. These are the things your dad told me.
That Shang bastard deceived your mom. She gave up her quota to return to the city for him, and once that scoundrel got back to the city, he married someone else and denied any relationship with your mom, even telling her that he didn’t have any feelings left for her when she went to find him, so your mom returned to the village, disheartened and no longer wanting to live.
That bastard even spread rumors that your mom had a shady relationship with the village chief, causing her to be shunned by the young people who had gone to the countryside, with no one willing to deal with her, except for a good friend of hers; no one else wanted to associate with her! The bastard Shang pretty much drove your mom to her death, and with your mom gone, he could finally be at ease.
No man is a good thing! No, that’s not right! My eldest son was a good person, a really good person who died too soon. Otherwise, I would’ve enjoyed the blessings of your dad, and then there wouldn’t have been those things with you. My poor eldest… why leave me all alone! Better to have taken me with him.”
As she spoke, Li Chunhua began to cry again.
“What are you pitying yourself for? At least you have Bai Jianguo to support you. I’m the one who’s pitiable,” Bai Xiao scoffed coldly. Li Chunhua feels pitiful now, but what did she do back then?
“Who asked for your pity? I’m just saying, crying makes me feel better, it’s none of your business,” Li Chunhua retorted, visibly annoyed.
“Hurry up and eat! It won’t taste good once it gets cold! Don’t start plaining later that I’m mistreating an old person,” said Bai Xiao.
“I’ll eat, I’ll eat, I love eating them cold, what’s it to you!” Li Chunhua defiantly took a fierce bite of a dumpling, as if she were biting into a piece of Bai Xiao’s flesh.
