You are like the warm sun

Chapter 66 Her Parents
"Later, they graduated from college and started working in the same city. They slowly got back in touch, and then naturally ended up together. Later, they got married and had me. My mother is very beautiful. She's an elementary school teacher, very gentle, and all the children liked her. At the time, I even felt jealous when I saw how nice she was to other children."

Shao Zhouci listened to her story quietly.

Tang Wan exhaled softly, lowering her brows and looking down. "She died when I was five... because of an earthquake."

Natural disasters are always the most unpredictable.

The earthquake came too suddenly.

Tang Wan will always remember it as a beautiful, sunny morning. She was sitting in a first-floor classroom with other children, attending class, when suddenly the ground shook.

Many children were terrified and didn't realize what was happening. They could only blindly follow the teacher's instructions and run out. They stumbled into the empty playground, huddled together in fear, and everything in front of them was blurry.

Cries and urgent shouts rang in my ears.

Unlike their luck, many people did not escape.

Tang Wan was also very scared at that time. She cried and wanted to find her parents. The teacher hugged her and comforted her softly.

It was not until evening that her father, who had hurried over, took her into his arms. He was in a mess, with his hands and face covered in dirt and blood.

That night, the 1.80-meter-tall man hugged her and cried bitterly.

At that time, Tang Wan did not realize what was contained in her father's tears. She thought he was as scared as she was.

Then she understood.

The earthquake took his wife and her mother away.

She died while protecting her students. "Dad said Mom was the most gentle person he had ever met. She was a fairy from heaven who had temporarily come down to earth and would return to heaven one day, so he told me not to be sad. After the earthquake, Dad brought me to this city to live with my grandparents. I lived in their house for two months and then moved out."

My mother has a very bad relationship with her family because they favor boys over girls. As a result, they also look down on their granddaughter Tang Wan.

When my parents were getting married, my grandparents, who had always wanted to use their daughter to find a rich husband, were not happy with my father's orphan background and did not want to marry my mother to him, so they asked for a betrothal gift of 20 yuan.

In that era, 20 was a huge number for an ordinary person.

My father couldn't afford it, but my mother was determined to marry him, and she and my grandmother and her family ended up having a falling out. Later, my father brought my mother home with a betrothal gift of 10,000 yuan. After her marriage, my mother's contact with her family gradually faded, and after giving birth to her, she never returned to her parents' home, only sending them money regularly every month.

I didn’t expect that the last time I went home would be when the leaves returned to their roots.

Shao Zhouci felt a little depressed as he listened to the girl's gentle voice.

He frowned.

What about her father?
Tang Wan lowered her eyes, reached out to hook her fingers with his, and unconsciously pinched his fingertips. She told him, "My father... passed away some time ago. The funeral was on May 5th."

Shao Zhouci was stunned.

At this point in time...

He suddenly remembered what the girl said when she followed him home for the first time: "Shao Zhouci, I have no home anymore. Can you take me in?"
He thought it was a joke at the time.

What kind of mood was she in when she said this to him?
