The wife escaped and the president sent people to block the entire city

There is a sour carambola tree at the entrance of the village. The carambola is so sour that even insects won’t eat it.

But in that era of food and clothing shortages, the carambolas were stolen by the village children before they even grew up.

Nowadays, the children who stole the carambolas back then are all working outside, and no one picks the sour carambolas even though they are full of fruits.

Even the two sweet star fruit trees planted later nearby were not picked, and the fruits fell all over the ground.

The old people in the village are all hoping that someone will come and steal the fruit, but now, let alone stealing, even if they give it to others, no one wants it.

The old people sat in the alley at the entrance of the village, waiting anxiously day after day, their bodies getting heavier day by day, but the child who stole the fruit that year never came home.

In the past, Aunt Wang, who could chase and beat Shikeng Qiang with a bamboo stick, now has difficulty even walking. Xia Qianqian felt a pang of pain in her heart as she looked at her and her eyes became moist again.

Aunt Li quickly took Xia Qianqian's hand and rushed home. Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu were whispering in the background. Their voices were not loud, but Xia Qianqian could hear them faintly.

"If Rongguang and Miaomiao were still here, they would be blessed."

"It's better to raise a daughter now. Daughters are filial and have no trouble finding a wife. It's not like us raising a son and having to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars to marry him off."

"Qianqian looks exactly like her mother Miaomiao. Seeing her is just like seeing Miaomiao."

"It's all Miaomiao's bad luck."

"If it weren't for Jiao Pozhen, she wouldn't have left so fast."

Xia Qianqian's second aunt was a shrew with a bad temper. Her name contained the word "Zhen", and the people in the village gave her a nickname, "Jiao Po Zhen".

After listening to what Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu said, Xia Qianqian vaguely felt that there was something else behind their words. Could it be that her mother's death was related to her second aunt?

Aunt Li returned home, sharpened her knife, and prepared to start the fight as soon as she caught a hen.

It takes about four or five months to raise a hen, and you can sell it for dozens of dollars, which can increase the family income.

Xia Qianqian quickly stopped Aunt Li from killing the chicken, but Aunt Li said that she had no good treat at home.

Xia Qianqian said that if her coming here caused Aunt Li to waste a hen, she would be embarrassed to come again in the future.

Xia Qianqian likes to eat organic vegetables the most, so just ask Aunt Li to make her a plate of organic vegetables.

Aunt Li was afraid that Xia Qianqian would never come to visit her again, so she had to let the hen go.

Xia Qianqian and Aunt Li cooked, while Uncle Xia prepared a guest room for Xia Qianqian to stay in.

Xia Qianqian always remembered what Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu said, and tried to get some information about her mother from Aunt Li.

After all, Aunt Li and my mother are close friends who can talk about anything, and she must know some of my mother's inner thoughts.

"Second aunt, before my mother passed away, did she ever tell you anything in private?"

Xia Qianqian looks exactly like He Miaomiao. Looking at Xia Qianqian is like seeing my old best friend.

Thinking of her best friend's ill-fated life, Aunt Li's eyes welled up with tears again, and she repeated to Xia Qianqian everything her best friend had said to her.

When He Miaomiao was three years old, her mother died of illness.

When she was five years old, her father He Zhanpeng remarried, but her stepmother always abused her.

That year, the roof of He Miaomiao's mother's house was leaking, so He Zhanpeng and Brother Li from the neighboring house went up to the roof to repair the tiles.

The stepmother was making glutinous rice cakes in the house. He Miaomiao was greedy and hungry, so she asked her stepmother for food.

The stepmother scooped out a piece of glutinous rice cake that had just been taken out of the pot and threw it into He Miaomiao's hand.

He Miaomiao burst into tears immediately because of the burn. She wanted to throw away the glutinous rice cake in her hand, but the glutinous rice cake stuck tightly to her palm and could not be shaken off no matter how hard she tried.

The stepmother did not help He Miaomiao get rid of the glutinous rice cake. Instead, she yelled at him, "Cry, cry, you only know how to cry. You cry when you have food and you cry when you don't. If people hear it, they will think I'm abusing you and not giving you food..."

Brother Li, who was repairing the house on the roof, saw it clearly and felt heartbroken. He wanted He Zhanpeng to take care of it.

It is said that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather.

He Zhanpeng is a henpecked husband. He didn't say a word when he saw his wife abusing their daughter.

Later, He Miaomiao ran out to find her grandmother and got rid of the glutinous rice cake on her palm. At this time, her palm was already red and swollen from the burn.

When He Miaomiao was six years old, her stepmother gave birth to a son named He Shirong.

He Zhanpeng was delighted to have a son.

He Miaomiao's stepmother became even more arrogant because of her son's status and did not take ordinary people seriously.

After He Zhanpeng had a son, he no longer had eyes for his daughter.

He Zhanpeng and his wife both dote on their son. They save the delicious food for their son and leave the work for their daughter.

When He Miaomiao did not do her job well, her stepmother not only did not give her food, but also beat her with a thin bamboo stick.

The thin bamboo sticks are very soft, but they hurt a lot when used to hit people. Once they hit the body, they will immediately leave red marks.

He Miaomiao was often beaten until her skin was torn.

Seeing that his parents disliked He Miaomiao, He Shirong followed suit and started touching her at a very young age.

When there were adults at home, He Miaomiao didn't dare to fight back.

Once, when the adults were not at home, He Shirong imitated his mother's actions and beat He Miaomiao with a bamboo stick.

He Miaomiao snatched the bamboo stick and hit He Shirong back.

In the evening, after the adults returned home, He Shirong complained to his mother about He Miaomiao.

After hearing this, the stepmother was furious. She grabbed He Miaomiao by the collar, lifted her up, threw her to the ground, and punished her by not allowing her to eat dinner.

From then on, He Miaomiao never dared to touch He Shirong again.

He Shirong likes to eat pork, no matter whether it is fat or lean, so others gave him the nickname "Pork Rong".

He Shirong was a man who could get whatever he wanted. When he grew up, he did not work hard and specialized in stealing and was often arrested.

Today, He Shirong is in his forties, has accomplished nothing, and is an old bachelor in the village.

When He Miaomiao grew up, she married Xia Rongguang, thinking that she could finally get away from her stepmother and live a good life.

Who knew that Xia Rongguang was so honest and unpopular among his family members? In addition, since He Miaomiao only gave birth to two daughters, his mother-in-law and sister-in-law Jiao Pozhen looked down on them even more and quarreled with her from time to time.

When flies entered Jiao Pozhen's house, she scolded He Miaomiao, blaming her for raising two pigs and the pig manure attracting flies.

But Jiao Pozhen also has two pigs at home, and there are many flies in her pigpen, but she doesn't say anything about herself and only quarrels with He Miaomiao.

He Miaomiao raises two pigs. She sells them at the end of the year to have money to buy New Year's goods and pay for her daughter's tuition.

Jiao Pozhen has always been jealous of others doing well, and she tried every means to prevent He Miaomiao from raising pigs.

Of course He Miaomiao ignored her and bought two piglets home after the New Year.

Jiao Pozhen was so angry that she stamped her feet. She went to the mountain to pick heartbreak grass, and when she got home, she quietly threw it into He Miaomiao's pigpen.

Not long after, the piglet that we had just bought for dozens of dollars died.

He Miaomiao didn't know the cause of the piglet's death, so she bought two more to raise.

But just after a week of raising it, the newly bought piglet died.

He Miaomiao spent most of her savings for half a year to buy four piglets.

He Miaomiao was traumatized by her failure every time and she dared not raise pigs anymore.

He Miaomiao and Xia Rongguang went around with the villagers to work as construction workers. After they had some savings, the couple built a two-story building together.
