Chapter 263 An Umbrella
Wei Qiulan's life is miserable. When she was young, her parents favored boys over girls and didn't like her. She was always the one who was ignored. It seemed that there was not much difference whether she was in the family or not.

So she wanted to escape from this home since she was a child, but when she was young, she did not have the ability to do so and could only wait to grow up. When she was fourteen years old, she finally could not stand her original family and chose to run away from home.

At that time, I really felt that the sky was high and the sea was vast, and birds could fly freely, even though the work was very hard.

Because she was young, many places didn't want her, so she could only work in some small restaurants, washing dishes and serving plates, doing the most tiring work for the lowest pay.

This kind of work doesn't come often, and I have to move from one company to another non-stop.

But she is free, and she feels content to live such a life.

In this way, she raised herself by alternating between meals.

During this period, she met Xiaoxue's father, Lin Xuesong, a man who was more than ten years older than her.

"He is very good to me and he is good at taking care of people. To me, he is more like my father. He has taught me a lot..." Wei Qiulan said calmly.

However, she still cared about Shen Siyuan's opinion. After she finished speaking, she turned around and asked.

"Is it mean for me to say that?"

Shen Siyuan shook his head: "It's just a spiritual sustenance. When you were growing up, you lacked fatherly love, so you placed this kind of emotion on him."

"I don't understand what you said, but I really think he is better than my father. There has never been a place for me in my family. I have been wearing clothes that others don't want since I was a child. Even my name, Wei Qiulan, was picked up from others..."

"I had just left home at that time and knew nothing. I seemed stupid and dumb and often made jokes. He always taught me patiently. Sometimes I really thought, I wish he was my dad..."

"But he's not my father. It was natural for us to be together. At that time, we traveled everywhere, working all over the country. Wherever he went, I followed. Although life was still not very good, at least we didn't starve..."

"A few years passed like this, and I had Xiaoxue. I thought we would get married and have our own little family, but he suddenly told me that he already had a wife and children in his hometown, and he couldn't divorce his wife and marry me. He asked me to abort the child..."

"But I don't want to have an abortion. I had a hard life before, so I secretly swore that when I have a child, I must treat her well and never treat her like my parents did. I will give her all my love. There is a saying that goes, after you have been caught in the rain, you always want to hold an umbrella for others..."

"I want to be an umbrella, an umbrella that can protect Xiaoxue from wind and rain, and give her all my love..."

"The day I left, he didn't try to keep me. He just gave me all the money he had. He told me not to hate him. What he didn't know was that I never hated him. On the contrary, I was very grateful to him. Because of him, I knew I was still alive and that someone loved me. Although I don't know how much hypocrisy there is in this love, at least when I was with him, I was really happy..."

"But when I left him, I found that although the world is big, there is no place that is my home. The only place I can go is to go back to the home I least want to go back to..."

"In the end, I could only take Xiaoxue back to my hometown. By then, I was already grown up and no longer a little girl who would let them beat and scold me. I had to protect Xiaoxue and I couldn't let her be bullied. I had to become stronger and more aggressive. If anyone dared to bully my mother and me, I would fight him to the death..."

"This is what he taught me. Sometimes you have to risk everything. Don't be afraid of losing something. Think about what you can get first. So I got a place to stay and a piece of land. Although it's not much, it's enough for Xiaoxue and I to live..."

"I don't know if it was the sin I committed in my previous life, or if God was blind, but before Xiaoxue and I could live a peaceful life together, I got sick. I have colon cancer, and there's no cure..."

"The doctor said that it was caused by my previous bad eating habits. I also want to be well, but can I be well? It's good enough that I have something to eat. My life is not very good, but my body is delicate..." Wei Qiulan showed a bit of self-mockery on her face.

"I wanted to send Xiaoxue to her father, but I had lost contact with him a long time ago. The only people Xiaoxue could entrust her to were her grandparents. When I died, Xiaoxue was only six years old. Such a young child..."

"I taught her everything I could, taught her to cook, taught her to wash clothes, taught her to be patient... taught her to wait until she could live on her own before leaving... I didn't expect that she would end up following my old path. I should have listened to Lin Xuesong and not given birth to her..."

"She was still too young, and I didn't have enough time to teach her many things before I passed away. She was also sent to her grandparents' house... But I didn't expect... They were so cruel that they didn't even let Xiaoxue in and directly drove her out. Aren't they afraid of retribution..."

Wei Qiulan could no longer conceal her sorrow, she sobbed softly, expressing her silent grievances. A gust of wind seemed to quietly embrace her, and then flew into the sky.

Shen Siyuan didn't say anything. He didn't know how to comfort the other person. Some people's original families are really like hell.

"Xiaoxue is still so young... She is so obedient and sensible... They are her grandparents... How could they... How could they... Aren't they afraid of retribution? God is really blind. The bad guys are living so well. Do the good guys deserve it?"

Wei Qiulan choked and cursed, venting her dissatisfaction and anger.

There is a saying that goes, "It is better to be hated than to be pitied."

People who are hated live a prosperous life, while people who are pitied live in poverty.

"I don't want Xiaoxue to follow my old path...it's all fate...it's all fate..."

"Xiaoxue is in this state now, she is even worse than I was back then. Why did I give birth to her... Why did I give birth to her..."

"My umbrella can't even block the wind and rain, so how can I protect Xiaoxue from the wind and rain? I'm so stupid, I regret it..."

Wei Qiulan was venting her emotions, Shen Siyuan sat silently beside her with no expression, Xiaoyue's eyes were filled with tears, and Doudou was wiping away tears.

Just then, a man, one big and a child, walked into the yard from outside carrying two large plastic bags.

When I saw Shen Siyuan sitting in the corridor.

The oldest one asked cautiously, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Shen Siyuan looked at him without saying anything. Wei Qiulan wiped her tears and took the initiative to say, "His name is Xia Wenbing. Thanks to him for helping to take care of Xiaoxue, otherwise Xiaoxue would have died a long time ago. The one behind him is my daughter."

Xia Wenbing was very thin, and he looked unrecognizable. His eyes were bulging and looked particularly large, but he could not hide the panic on his face.

Shen Siyuan was tall and big, and looked very imposing even when he was sitting there. If a fight really broke out, Xia Wenbing knew that he would definitely not be his opponent.

However, he forced himself to remain calm, and a sense of anger arose in his heart. At worst, he would fight to the death. His life was worthless, so who was afraid of whom?

Xiaoxue, who was hiding behind him, was even more frightened, and her body seemed to be trembling slightly.

"If a fight breaks out, just run away." Xia Wenbing whispered to Xiaoxue behind him.

Xiaoxue, who had reached out her hand, seemed to hold his clothes even tighter.

Xia Wenbing sighed like a deflated ball and said to Shen Siyuan, who had been silent the whole time, "We came here because we saw that this place was abandoned and no one lived there. Can't we just move out?"

Shen Siyuan glanced at him and said with a smile: "This place is not mine. It has nothing to do with me how long you want to stay here."

Shen Siyuan's words stunned Xia Wenbing.

Then he looked at the other person with suspicion.
