She doesn't want to pretend anymore

Anyone could tell that Gao Yuan's family was not in good condition.

She was able to go to college by winning the local top scholar exam and receiving a lot of bonuses.

But even so, she was still short of money. The villagers held a banquet for her college studies, and every family gave her money.

But there seemed to be a patient at home. When Manshu first met Gaoyuan, he could smell the smell of medicine on her body.

Either she was taking the medicine herself, or she got infected from taking care of patients for a long time.

Manshu saw that she was quite healthy, so the only thing she knew was that there was a patient at home.

"Is there any patient in your family?" Manshu asked.

Gao Yuan did not hide it: "Yes, my dad broke his leg when he went up the mountain."

"Your family is in such a difficult situation," Miao Miao sighed. "My family only has two children, my brother and I, and my mom always complains that we don't have enough money."

Manshu: “…” Yours is not enough to spend, it is very different from others.

Manshu thought of someone whose family situation was very similar to Gao Yuan's.

Yang Lili.

Her head teacher, Lao Liu, helped her a lot at first, but she was not very shrewd, so she was eventually persuaded to drop out of school.

It is said that she transferred to another school and then disappeared.

Miao Miao didn't pay attention to these little details at all.

She has already turned the topic to Xi Yue.

"Xi Yue, what about you? Tell me about your family. When you first came in, we thought you were here with your aunt. You must be someone's daughter!"

"My family is well off, but my parents divorced when I was very young. My mother went abroad and has a new husband and children."

"My dad is usually very busy, so he found an aunt to take care of me."

"That aunt is also responsible for my studies. Oh, she has become my stepmother now."

The dormitory suddenly became quiet.

After saying it out loud, Xi Yue felt even better.

"What are you doing so quietly?"

Miao Miao then dared to speak: "I'm sorry, I thought she was your aunt."

Xi Yue sneered: "She is my aunt, and my dad invited her to take care of me as well as her."

"Why should I take care of her?" Miao Miao didn't quite understand. Could there be some other connection?

"My father was a soldier who changed his job to do business. Her husband is my father's former comrade-in-arms."

Xi Yue paused before continuing, "Later, during a mission, a comrade died, and the few who survived helped take care of my sister-in-law."

"My dad said it's not easy for someone to take care of a child and work at the same time, so he asked her to come to my house to look after me and be my tutor, and her son can also live with us."

"She was smart. She left her son in the countryside with her grandparents and only came to play for a few days during the winter and summer vacations. My father treated her son like his own son."

"When I was in middle school, my dad said that she had been taking care of me, and rumors would inevitably arise after a while, so it would be better to just marry her."

"Give her a name and a home, so that she can legitimately take care of the son left behind by her comrade."

Xi Yue was obviously very resentful towards his father.

"You must have liked that aunt very much at the beginning, right?" Manshu asked suddenly.

If she didn't like her, her father wouldn't have married her aunt.

There are many ways to take care of your comrades' wives and children. There is no need to sacrifice your own marriage.

What's more, looking at Xi Yue's appearance, you can tell that her father is not bad looking.

That aunt looks like a gentle little woman, but she may not be as good as Xi Yue's mother.

After all, Xi Yue's father might have done it for his daughter.
