Mrs. Ge's throat was dry. "The reason why I took Ge Xinghua and Ge Guihua to live with me was just to give them some time to relax. Ge Xinghua is a bit selfish, I know that."

"I originally thought that letting her learn the rules in the Yang family, following me in and out, meeting more people, and gaining more experience would eventually change her increasingly left-wing personality. But I didn't expect that her heart was like a block of ice, and it didn't warm up at all!"

Ge looked sad.

"I did all this not to make those two kids thank me, I just hope they can have a way out. When I was a kid in the Ge family, I was treated like a maid and a slave every day. It was just a little bit of hard work, so I accepted the hardship."

"But the Ge family treats girls not just as maids, but like livestock! I really couldn't stand it. At that time, I thought, if only there was someone who could help me, but I never waited for that person."

Having said this, Ge's face turned slightly cold.

"I waited and waited, but when I got older, the Ge family wanted to marry me off. I asked around and found out that the man my good parents chose for me was actually a 60-year-old old man!"

"They said I was pretty and hardworking, and that old man was a wealthy man, so they asked me to marry him and be his ninth concubine! They let me enjoy the best of life, and that was a great bargain for me!"

There was a flash of anger in Ge's eyes.

"It's fine for me to be a slave at home, but I really don't want to be tied to an old man who can be my grandfather, and as a concubine! So I ran away."

Having said this, Mrs. Ge's expression eased a lot.

"Sometimes, people just have to be impulsive. After I ran away, I met your uncle. He and I fell in love with each other just like a turtle looking at a mung bean!"

Xie Lingxi had originally been listening to Ge talking about the past with a serious face, but when she heard Ge's last sentence, she burst out laughing.

"Aunt, what do you mean by a turtle looking at a mung bean? If your uncle knew what you said, he would be sad."

The sadness on Mrs. Ge's face dissipated a lot, and her face was filled with a happy smile.

"Oh, your uncle doesn't dislike me, but you are picking on me. I am from the countryside and I can't say those nice things. Anyway, your uncle doesn't mind, so I will continue to talk."

Xie Lingxi was also sincerely happy for Ge.

"After listening to what happened to my aunt in the past, I can see that she is indeed a courageous person. After all, Ge Xinghua and Ge Guihua are not like you."

"Ge Xinghua is a little clever, and she is indeed unwilling to be manipulated by the Ge family, but her choice is different from yours. She chooses to hurt the people who help her. Like the Ge family, she is also a blood-sucking worm! As for Ge Guihua——"

Xie Lingxi shook her head.

"Ge Guihua has been completely turned into a puppet by the Ge family. They tell her to go east or west, but you are different, my aunt. You found the right opportunity to escape and met my uncle."

"After you got together with your uncle, you cut off all contact with the Ge family. This shows that you are courageous, decisive, smart, and not confused. Ge Xinghua and Ge Guihua can't compare with you."

Xie Lingxi praised Ge again and again.

After hearing this, Mrs. Ge was indeed in a much better mood.

To be honest, from childhood to adulthood, Ge was taught that filial piety is the most important thing and husband is the most important thing.

She herself didn't know how she had the courage to break through the shackles of worldly life and run away. She even dared to sever ties with the Ge family and disown her parents.

This matter caused quite a big fuss at the time. She was afraid that her husband would not understand her, and that he would point at her nose and call her an ungrateful and unfilial son and no longer want her.

Unexpectedly, her husband did not scold her, but instead said something similar to Xie Lingxi, praising her for her courage and for not going along with the Ge family...

When Ge thought of this, her eyes softened when she looked at Xie Lingxi.

"Girl, we are really destined to be together. What you said is similar to what your uncle said. He comforted me in the same way at the beginning. When I broke off relations with the Ge family, I was not so calm."

"Many people scolded me. I didn't dare to go out to see people, for fear that they would call me a bastard who didn't even want his parents. Over the years, there were times when I wondered if I was too heartless. But now that I see the looks on Ge Xinghua and Ge Guihua's faces, I know that I did nothing wrong!"

A hint of fear flashed across Ge's eyes.

"If I don't run away, if I don't act decisively and sever my ties with the Ge family, I will become Ge Xinghua or Ge Guihua sooner or later, and it will be impossible for me to maintain my original intention."

This heavy past makes people feel depressed when they hear it.

Xie Lingxi hurried to comfort her.

"Okay, auntie, it's all in the past. Everything you have now is what you deserve for being brave. Everyone has their own destiny. You are not Ge Xinghua, nor are you Ge Guihua. You are yourself, and you are lucky to have met Master Yang."

"You have a child now, you won't live the same life as before, your child will only get better and better in the future. You and the Ge family just have no fate, maybe you were enemies in your previous life. It's great that you can escape!"

Having said that, seeing that Ge's expression had eased a lot, Xie Lingxi asked.

"Oh, auntie, I want to ask, did you really just want to let Ge Xinghua and Ge Guihua live with you in the Yang family to make them live a more comfortable life? You just said that you wanted to give them a way out, what kind of way out do you want to arrange for them, auntie?"

"Aunt knows the situation of the Ge family. Last time, I took the initiative to say that I wanted to find someone for Ge Xinghua, but you stopped me. Could it be that you are planning to find someone for Ge Xinghua yourself? But this kind of thing is not easy to do, right? It might even offend people."

Mrs. Ge's expression became more serious and she gritted her teeth.

"I do have this idea. After all, if a girl wants to leave a place like the Ge family, it is impossible without peeling off a layer of skin and pulling out a muscle to hurt her badly."

Ge pursed her lips and said.

"The reason why I dared to sever ties with the Ge family was because I was determined to die. When I ran away from the Ge family, I had already made up my mind that if I couldn't survive outside, I would never return to the Ge family even if I died."

"Luckily, I met your uncle later. He was willing to accept everything about me. I was not even afraid of death at that time. In addition, he supported me, so I dared to make up my mind to sever ties with the Ge family. But not everyone has the same determination and luck as me. If you want Ge Xinghua and Ge Guihua to have a better future, the only way is to get married."

Having said that, Ge sighed and pulled Xie Lingxi to talk seriously.

"Lingxi, you've suffered a loss once when it comes to marriage, so you know that when a woman gets married, it's like being reborn a second time. Life in her husband's family must be better than her own family before she can marry into the family. Otherwise, she might as well be an old maid for the rest of her life."
