The auspiciousness descended from the sky, and the sweet treasure from the farmer was fed by the who

Mother Liu nodded and said, "Yes, sweet baby, we won't force it. You should also understand that birth, aging, illness and death are all normal for human beings."

Tianbao held the two of them tightly and leaned her head on Liu's mother's arms. "I know, but I'm just sad."

Liu Yanzhi smiled and rubbed her hair. "Don't be sad. Grandma and grandpa are very happy. I am very happy to see you move towards the future you want little by little."

Fang came out of the kitchen with a smile, "Come and eat, Tianbao, I specially made your favorite meal today."

“Then I’ll definitely eat more.”

There were only four of them at dinner time. Liu Shan was not there. He was busy with the fish pond and usually didn't come back for dinner.

Hutou went to the county town to study and only came back once a month.

"mother…"

Just when everyone was eating happily, a timid voice was heard.

When they looked outside, they saw Liu Taohua standing there holding a little boy who was about two years old.

"Mom, I came back to give you New Year gifts..." She didn't look well dressed, and she was wearing very thin clothes on such a cold day.

It was said to be a New Year's gift, but there was nothing else in his arms except the little boy.

"Why did you come back? You are not welcome here, go away." Fang had given up on her daughter.

Don't want to see her at all.

Liu Yanzhi and her mother looked indifferent, as if she was a stranger.

Tianbao had even less expression on her face. She glanced at Liu Taohua and didn't look at her again.

In the past, her face seemed to be a sign of great fortune and prosperity for her husband, but now it seems...

He became lonely, helpless and poor.

It will also change with your choices, Liu Taohua is a good example.

"Mother..." Liu Taohua knelt down all of a sudden. "Give me some money. I know you have been doing well in recent years. Hu Tou is still studying in the county town...

If I hadn't been unable to make ends meet, I would definitely not have come looking for you... Just have some pity on your grandson."

"Where is that man? Doesn't he care about you?" Fang asked with disgust.

"He...he ran away with another woman..."

"Where is Chunya?" Tianbao asked.

Fang then realized that she hadn't seen Chunya for such a long time. "Chunya is not with you? Where is she?"

"Wow... I can't afford to support two people... Chunya... Chunya..."

"You won't sell Chunya, will you?" Liu's mother asked in disbelief.

Liu Taohua burst into tears again. "I can't do anything. My son is still so young and his health has always been poor..."

"Alright, alright...get out of here. We don't want to see you." Fang had completely lost interest in this selfish daughter.

In the end, after driving the people away, he still gave her ten taels of silver, which was considered the last bit of affection between the mother and daughter.

She won't care about what happens in the future.

Tianbao saw Liu's mother holding her chest and quickly patted her on the back, "Grandma, don't be angry. It's not worth it for such a person."

Liu Yanzhi also quickly looked at her and said, "Old woman, don't be angry. You don't just know who she is."

"Mom, let's just pretend she never existed and we won't care about her anymore," Fang also said.

The next day

Tianbao took Yuexin and Zhiya to the town to buy things. Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. Mei Jing'an did not come back with them this time.

Mei's eldest brother and sister-in-law are in Beijing, Yuan Jia and Zhu Ling'er are also in Beijing, so Mei Jing'an stayed in Beijing to celebrate the New Year.

"Miss, there are still quite a lot of people here today. It's almost New Year's Day and there are still so many people." Zhiya said as she walked on the left to protect Tianbao, fearing that people would squeeze her.

Tian Bao smiled and said, "It's almost New Year so there must be a lot of people. I remember there's a shop in front that sells really delicious spicy tofu. Let's go buy some."

The three of them arrived at the shop. There were a lot of people inside. Zhiya went to queue up while Tianbao and Yuexin waited outside.

Tian Bao was holding a few sugar figures in his hand. "I'm sure Li Bai will like them when I give them to him when I get back."

Yue Xin smiled and nodded, "Li Bai loves sweets the most."

"Sweet baby..."

Tianbao heard someone calling her name. She looked behind her and saw Chunya standing not far away looking at her.

Chunya was wearing an old linen dress with patches on it.

Thirteen-year-old Chunya has grown up. She is tall but a little thin. She looks very energetic, with some black marks on her face.

Looking at Tianbao, she smiled and slowly walked over. "Is it really you? I thought I was seeing things."

Tian Bao looked at her with a complicated expression, "I saw your mother yesterday."

When Chunya heard Tianbao mention Liu Taohua, a mocking look flashed across her face, "I have no contact with her now.

She sold me just to pay for her son's medical treatment. Isn't that funny? Maybe this is my karma."

Chunya bowed to Tianbao and said, "Tianbao, I owe you an apology. I'm really sorry. I didn't know what happened at that time. My brain went haywire...

In fact, I envy you and like you very much, I..."

"I don't want to talk about the past anymore." Tianbao stopped her from saying the next thing. There was no point in talking about what had already happened.

Chunya nodded, "Then... I'll go first..."

"Where are you now? Where did she sell you?" Tianbao asked.

"In order to pay for her son's medical treatment, she sold me to the place where I was worth the most money. Unfortunately, she overestimated me. How could anyone like me in that place?

Fortunately, I met a good person who bought me and I am doing well with him."

Just after I finished speaking, a young man came over. He was about eighteen or nineteen years old, looking tall and mighty, with prey on his shoulders.

"Spring buds."

"Brother Zhao, this is my friend." Chunya looked at him and introduced Tianbao to him with a smile.

The young man looked at Tian Bao and nodded slightly, then asked happily, "Don't you have any relatives? How can you meet your friend here? Do you want to invite her to your home for a meal?"

“No, no, we…are just a close relationship…” Chunya looked at Tianbao cautiously, afraid that she would be angry that he said they were friends.

"Okay, I'm fine anyway." Tianbao agreed immediately, and Chunya was surprised.

Zhiya also bought some things, and Tianbao asked her to buy some gifts. They followed Chunya and the young man to their home.

It's a house in an alley, very small, but big enough for two people to live in.

The young man asked Chunya to talk to Tianbao and the others, while he went to the kitchen to prepare food.

"He...?" Tianbao wanted to ask what their current relationship was. Chunya was only thirteen years old, and the man was so much older than her.

But seeing how nice he is to Chunya.

"He was very kind. He spent all his family's money to redeem me. There was a lot of gossip in the village, and he was afraid that I would be sad after hearing it, so he brought me out to rent a house."

"Where are his family?" Tianbao asked again.

"No father and no mother, just like me." Chunya said and looked at Tianbao, "I am very content now, I just want to live a good life with him. If you see her next time... don't tell her I'm here."

The "she" here refers to Liu Taohua.
