Yun Qing couldn't help but turn her head to look at Xia Chen. This little man did indeed have an extraordinary ability, he could make her no longer afraid of men, make her look like a slut in front of him, and now, he could also make her calm down quickly in the face of such a major change. Perhaps, only in front of him, she was a normal person, and also a normal woman.
"Uncle Shi, can you tell me what's going on?" Yun Qing asked slowly as she gently held Xia Xia's hand. Right now, only he could give her a sense of security.
"Xiumei, go prepare dinner first." Shi Chang Geng said, "Pure, you and Xiao Hu go upstairs to play."
"Oh." Shi Jun replied and looked at Yun Qing curiously. In the end, he was brought upstairs by Shi Xiaohu.
After sending his daughter away, Shi Chang Geng looked at Yun Qing again. "Xiao Qing, come with me."
Shi Chang Geng brought Yun Qing to the bedroom and pushed the door open. "Xiao Qing, this used to be your mother's and my new house."
Yun Qing walked into the room and did not say anything, but her gaze unconsciously fell on the wall. There was a huge wedding photo hanging there, and the two people in the photo were not unfamiliar to her. One of them was Shi Chang Geng, and the other was a beautiful woman who looked quite similar to her. That was her mother, Yun Fang!
There was also a dressing table in the room. On the dressing table, there was also a photo. The person in the photo had a bright smile and a trace of hesitation. This person was also her mother, Yun Fang.
In fact, Yun Fang's picture could be seen everywhere in this bedroom. As long as one opened their eyes, they would definitely be able to see it no matter what angle they were at.
"Uncle Shi, you, you're married?" Yun Qing finally couldn't help but ask.
"This is our marriage certificate." Shi Chang Geng handed Yun Qing a red book. "Xiao Qing, look at the date on it."
"June 29th, 2001?" Yun Qing muttered to herself, "I, I remember calling her the first day. Why didn't she tell me about this at all?"
"Because the day before, you called your mother and told her that you had received your diploma and that you had found a job." Shi Chang Geng said in a low voice, "Your mother doesn't want to tell you, because she knows that you don't want to return to this place that makes you feel humiliated. She knows that you want to stay far away from Mu Yang County, far away from everything in your hometown, including her mother."
"But, but since she's married to you, why did she commit suicide?" Yun Qing couldn't understand.
"Do you still remember that before your mother died, you called her and said that you could finally practice on your own and that you didn't have to worry about her anymore?" Shi Chang Geng asked.
Yun Qing thought for a moment before nodding. "Yes, that seems to be the case."
"Your mother gave birth to you at the age of eighteen and committed suicide at the age of forty. Although she lived for forty years, after what happened when she was nineteen, the remaining twenty-one years were no different from a walking corpse to her. In these twenty-one years, the only thing that supported her was to raise her." Shi Chang Geng's tone was filled with sorrow, "When you finally grew up, when you finally became independent, when she no longer had anything to worry about, she chose to die, because she knew that even though you didn't say it, you had always been ashamed to have a mother like her. As long as she was alive, you would never be able to raise your head. If she died, then you would be able to be a normal girl, find a good husband, and live a happy life."
"You, you're saying that I, I killed her?" Yun Qing asked, trembling.
"No, Xiao Qing, it's not you. Whether it's me or your mother, we've never blamed you." Shi Chang Geng shook his head, "It's just that, Xiao Qing, I hope you understand that no matter what your mother has done, in my heart, she will always be the purest and most beautiful woman. She is also the greatest mother in this world, and she has given up everything for you, including her life. If possible, I hope that you can fulfill her last wish."
Yun Qing stood there in a daze. She really wanted to cry, but she tried her best not to. After what seemed like a long time, she finally asked, "She, what last wish does she have?"
"Although your mother married me and gave birth to a pure child with me, she never loved me. She was only grateful to me, and a pure child was her repayment to me. In her life, she only loved one person, and that was your father." Shi Chang Geng slowly said, "She was not able to marry your father, but that is not your father's fault. He died to protect you and your mother, so your mother has always hoped that you can recognize your ancestors and return to your clan. Your surname should be Tan, not Yun."
"No, that's impossible!" Yun Qing seemed very excited. "I won't be surnamed Tan. I have nothing to do with the Tan family. They were the ones who caused my mother to be like that!"
"Xiao Qing, don't be agitated. I won't force you to do anything, and neither will your mother, so she never told you about this. She only made an agreement with me that if you return to Mu Yang County and stay there for a long time, then she will tell you about this. Otherwise, she told me never to tell you." Shi Chang Geng sighed softly, "Although she really wants you to do that, if you don't want to, she won't blame you."
After pausing for a moment, Shi Chang Geng continued, "Actually, Xiao Qing, what happened back then was already a long time ago. Although the Tan family was in the wrong, in that era, there were some things that could be understood. So, I still hope that you can seriously consider it."
Yun Qing looked at the huge wedding photo. Her mother's smile and voice seemed to appear before her eyes again. Unknowingly, her tears finally flowed uncontrollably.
"Sister Yun Qing, don't cry. If you cry, I won't be happy either." Xia Zhi couldn't help but say.
However, his words clearly did not have a positive effect. Instead, it made Yun Qing cry even louder. She threw herself into Xia Zhi's embrace and burst into tears.
She cried for more than ten minutes before she gradually stopped.
"Uncle Shi, thank you for telling me these things." After crying for a while, Yun Qing seemed to have calmed down again. She left Xia Chen's embrace, wiped the tears off her face, and softly said to Shi Chang Geng.
"Xiao Qing, this is my responsibility." "Although you are not my daughter, I have always treated you as my daughter. I also hope that you can treat me as your family in the future. No matter what you need, you can come find me. My place is your home."
