I haven’t seen each other for more than ten years, and my home is no longer the home I remember. The parents in my memory have also aged a lot, but compared to the miserable life before, their mental outlook is much better now.

The family used to live in a thatched house, but now the large yard is made of bricks. It should have been repaired recently, otherwise it would not look so new.

Zhihua held her stomach and followed Mother Lin step by step. The other party walked very fast, not caring whether her daughter behind her had difficulty moving.

Chu Jin squeezed her hand and helped her walk slowly inside. He was used to being pampered, so when he saw this seemingly unshabby courtyard, there was still disgust hidden in his eyes.

He came today just to cut off her thoughts, so there was no need for him to give these two any face. But it’s a full set of acting, so some things should be hidden.

"Grandma, who is she? Are you here to buy tofu?" Suddenly a girl with two little hairpins appeared and a small windmill in her hand, looking at the two of them doubtfully.

Mother Lin touched her head lovingly, "This is your aunt."

"Auntie? But daddy didn't say he had a sister." The little girl was at a loss.

She knew that her aunt was her father's sister, but she didn't know that her father had a sister.

"What do you know at such a young age? Your aunt used to be an errand in the palace, and now she's back. Take this candy and play with it."

After seeing Tang, the little girl immediately put the problem behind her and went out happily.

Zhihua just stood there awkwardly, like a stranger.

After arriving at the lobby and sitting down on a random stool, no one brought tea.

Mother Lin sat there, looked at her for a long time, and finally asked: "What's happened to you all these years? Why did you leave the palace early? And what do you mean by dressing up like this? There are a lot of troubles for girls from other families when they leave the palace. , how do you..."

If he's any worse, he's almost like a beggar.

But she forgot that Zhihua's current outfit was much better than when he entered the palace. Moreover, she only knew about the women who left the palace, but did not think about the women who were killed in the palace.

All this comes from not caring.

"Mom, did you ever regret sending your daughter to the palace?" Zhihua thought for a while and finally asked an irrelevant question.

Mother Lin was stunned for a second, and then said in an impatient tone: "Do you regret anything? I told you that no one could survive at that time. Only by sending you to the palace can everyone have hope of living. .”

"But I clearly saw you secretly boiling eggs and sweet potatoes for your brother."

"Your brother was growing up at that time. He will become the pillar of this family in the future. Why do you have any problem with him?"

"..." It's not that I have nothing to say, I just feel boring.

Adults always have reasons to hide their partiality, and they always try their best to make up for themselves, and they will never admit their mistakes.

Pity the girl who had lived in the palace for more than ten years and was looking forward to returning home, but she never thought that her family had simply forgotten her.

Zhihua took a deep breath and tried to calm down the excitement. It was an unwise choice to try to argue with someone who didn't care about him. No matter how right you are, they won't care.

So she changed the topic and spoke according to her current personality. "Mom, I left the palace last year. But I went home and didn't find you. I thought you had an accident, so I built a tomb for you. Later I met my husband-in-law, and now we are married. I didn't know that until today Your whereabouts."

When she spoke this, her voice was very calm and her face had no expression, as if she was just describing one thing. But I don't think it's strange. After being hurt like that just now, what expression can I still have now?

She continued according to the script, "Mom, your life now is only possible because you sent me to the palace, so I want to lend you some money."

"What do you mean? What do you mean that I am living today because of you? Damn girl, who are you talking to?" When she heard about borrowing money, Mother Lin couldn't sit still.

She thought that this child would bring her a lot of money, but in the end she had nothing and still had to borrow money? Borrow some shit!

"My husband-in-law is also in business, but times are unfavorable. I owed a huge amount of foreign debt a while ago. Even if I spend all my money, I can't fill this gap. Mom, you are my mother, you can't let your daughter be like this. So homeless!"

As he spoke, a tear fell down. Coupled with this outfit, it looks very miserable.

Chu Jin watched silently from the side, without speaking or expression. But it was this look that made people feel that he was suffering, that he was too sad to speak.

"How much do you want to borrow?" After all, it's just a piece of meat that fell out of my belly. If you can help, just help. Anyway, I won't help after this time.

"One hundred taels." Zhihua said tentatively.

For the current Lin family, one hundred taels is just a few years of tofu profit, and it can be taken out if needed.

but……

"What? One hundred taels? Why don't you go and rob it? Damn girl, why did you hook up with such a husband? After spending all your money, you still want to come to your parents' house to rob me?" Mother Lin's eyes widened with a look on her face. Extremely exaggerated, those one hundred taels seemed to be her life.

"Mom, you can't just die without saving me!"

"Save me! You can pay your own debts by yourself, it has nothing to do with me!" Mother Lin stood up, the disgust in her eyes almost overflowing, "After I sent you to the palace before, There will be no relationship between us."

"Mom, what do you mean..."

Zhihua stood up straight in disbelief and looked at the familiar face in front of him. It was no longer the loving look in his memory. But she was obviously so kind to her little granddaughter, why was she so mean to her?

"Now that you are married, you are no longer a member of our Lin family. Your affairs have nothing to do with our Lin family. So, go back quickly and don't come to me again."

This is the meaning of severing ties.

Because of a mere one hundred taels, things got to this point.

Although all this was expected by Chu Jin, when she saw Zhihua who was full of brokenness, she still couldn't help but feel distressed.

He stretched out his hand to support her and patted her back to try not to be so excited.

Mother Lin snorted coldly, "The Lin family's property belongs to your brother. You are a married woman, so you should be self-aware."

After so many years since this daughter was brought to the palace, even if she had any feelings, they would have been worn away long ago. And looking at her like this, I'm afraid she won't be able to get the money back if she lends it out.

It's better to break off this relationship and save this poor relative from getting involved. (End of chapter)
