In a child's eyes, perhaps happiness and joy were just that simple.
But even so, to them, it was already a flower blooming in the abyss of despair.
It was precious, so they cherished it.
She kissed Bao 'er's little face, and the little girl giggled.
"You can eat your fill every day from now on. You'll look prettier if you get fatter."
The little girl nodded and rubbed her face like a kitten.
She carried the little girl and walked around with Master Huo. Perhaps they still lacked many things now, but she believed that in the near future, they would build a solid home for themselves.
After returning the child to her mother, she followed Master Huo to the side to talk business.
"Regarding the iron mine, we'll do as we agreed."
Elder Huo took out a contract. It was written in black and white, and it was clearly written on it.
"We'll be in charge of both the mining and management. We'll take 50% of the first two iron mines, and 20% of the later ones. "
Lin Mengya shook her head.
"That'll be too much of a loss for you. Let's do as we agreed, 50% will do."
Unexpectedly, Master Huo disagreed.
"You've helped us too much. Even so, I still feel that I owe you a lot."
His tone was too sincere, and she had no choice but to believe him.
Lin Mengya knew that this person had made up his mind, so she could only agree.
There were two copies of the contract. After she signed her name and pressed her fingerprint, the iron mine was officially transferred to their name.
Master Huo looked at the contract, but he didn't seem surprised.
"You guessed my identity long ago?"
She signed the name "Gong Ya" on the contract.
Master Huo smiled bitterly. "I just guessed that you're not ordinary people, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful."
"You've heard of me?"
This time, it was Lin Mengya's turn to be curious.
She wasn't a narcissistic person who thought that everyone in the world had heard of her.
Moreover, this was the border area, and it was extremely far from the Gong Family. No matter how powerful her influence was, it wouldn't reach here.
But Master Huo said seriously, "We're not as isolated as you think. In fact, we need to know what's happening in Wei Country.
Don't think that it's a mess here. In fact, everyone has their own way of survival.
If you provoke someone you shouldn't provoke, I'm afraid the final outcome will not be good. "
That's true. She nodded to show her agreement.
"Since you know who I am, then you should know who my husband is, right?"
Huo Xiao had no choice but to nod despite his reluctance to admit it.
He had thought that he still had a chance, but now it seemed that was just his wishful thinking.
These two were an immortal couple that everyone in Wei Nation envied.
If he dared to break them up, wouldn't he be beaten to death by their supporters?
"In that case, I'll speak the truth. Actually, the most important reason why we're here this time around is to head to the Ancient race."
At the mention of the Ancient Clan, Old Huo's expression unconsciously turned serious.
He furrowed his brows. Clearly, that place had left him with some unpleasant memories.
Lin Mengya carefully observed his expression as she explained, "We know that most of you are related to the aboriginals.
Only because of the ancient
Due to the resistance within the clan, he was forced to part ways with his family.
Therefore, we hope that you can lend us a hand. That way, you might be able to reunite with your family sooner. "
She didn't want to force these people with gratitude or anything like that.
It would be best if Old Huo agreed.
If he objected, she wouldn't mention it again.
Old Huo subconsciously walked a few steps down the path. Lin Mengya stood where she was and looked at his back in silence.
"It's been so many years. They should have forgotten about us by now, right?"
There was self-mockery, resentment, and longing in his words.
Although Lin Mengya couldn't understand all of his feelings, from the perspective of a mother and a daughter, she could roughly understand Huo Jinyao's hesitation if she put herself in his shoes.
"I think this question has to be answered by them personally."
The "fortune-tellers" were a very special group.
Most of them were raised and doted on by a single parent. The other half of their lives, which was the most important half of their lives, was locked up in the aboriginals' clans by the rules and traditions.
In such an environment, who could ask them to only passively accept and wait without a trace of resentment in their hearts?
"Actually, I went to see her once."
Old Huo wasn't used to telling people about the things he hid in his heart.
"She married someone else and gave birth to another child.
That child was five years younger than me. He was also a boy, but he didn't look like me. I think he looked like his father. "
When he was in his teens, his mother didn't show up for his birthday one year.
His father was drunk that day. He took advantage of the night to carry the tiger-head doll his mother had made for him and stumbled towards his mother's house.
He knew where his mother lived. She had brought him there when he was young.
How could such a young child remember a place he had only been to once?
Until now, he still didn't know.
He only remembered climbing up the wall with great difficulty and peeking into the courtyard. In the end, he saw another little boy in his mother's arms.
His mother generously gave the gentle and loving smile that once belonged to him to another person.
He also heard the child's laughter. It was clear and melodious. Then he heard the boy call his mother "mother".
At that time, he wanted to rush down and snatch his mother back.
But in the end, he could only be carried down from the wall by his father, who rushed over in a hurry.
That night, he lost his tiger-head doll.
His father silently brought him back. In the end, he only let out a deep sigh.
At that time, he didn't understand. Now, he gradually understood. His father's sigh was filled with indescribable despair.
From then on, he never called that woman "mother".
It was not until the Huo family was destroyed that he completely lost contact with his mother.
"If she really cared about me and loved my father, why couldn't she wait a little longer?
When I grew up and was able to protect her, maybe the three of us could be reunited.
But she betrayed me and my father. "
Old Huo turned around and asked her with red eyes.
"How could such a woman be worth risking everything for?"
Lin Mengya could see that Old Huo was very emotional.
She thought about it again and again before she spoke.
"I think you have to ask her yourself about this. Maybe she has no other choice."
"She had already given birth to another man's child. What else is there to refute?
If she didn't want to give birth, who else could force her to give birth? "
Lin Mengya frowned slightly.
Huo Xiao was probably too emotional that his thoughts had become biased.
However, she had to argue for his mother.
"A woman was too weak in that kind of environment. Huo Xiao, let me ask you. What if she had to die if she didn't give birth?
Or what if the other party used you and your father to threaten her?
Or perhaps, in those hopeless days, she had transferred her feelings to another man?
Whether she loved your father or not was their business. It didn't mean that she didn't love you. "
The pain in Huo Xiao's eyes gradually deepened.
"But my father died because of her!
I can't forgive her for causing the death of our family and living without guilt! "
He didn't want to continue this topic and strode away. Lin Mengya could only stand behind him and shout.
"Huo Xiao, wake up! The aboriginals were the ones who killed your father. It was those inhumane rules, not your mother, who was a victim! "
As he walked away, Lin Mengya didn't know if he heard what she said.
Lin Mengya stomped her feet in anger.
But she couldn't do anything. The knot in his heart belonged to Huo Xiao. If she wanted to untie it, he had to think it through himself.
It was a good meeting, but they parted on bad terms.
Even Long Tianyu could tell that his wife was not in a good mood.
He poured a cup of tea and personally fed it to her mouth.
Lin Mengya held his hand and took a sip. Then she leaned against him lazily.
"Who made you angry?"
"Nothing."
She just felt that Huo Xiao's thoughts were too extreme.
But then again, if it were her, she would be even more extreme than Huo Xiao.
At the very least, although he hated his mother now, he never wanted to hurt her.
He even projected his desire to make up for his regret on these strangers. He planned for a long time just to save these people who were also hurt.
Humans were not saints. The fact that Huo Xiao could be like this showed that he was more forgiving than most people.
But if she couldn't untie this knot in his heart, Huo Xiao wouldn't agree to go to the aboriginals with them.
She rested her chin on his shoulder and pinched Long Tianyu's earlobe with her little paws.
"Yu, if one day someone threatens me with you and the babies, forcing me to give birth to another man's children, what will you think?"
Long Tianhao grabbed her little hand and moved his face slightly away from hers.
"That won't happen. I'll protect you and the children."
Although she knew that this would be the answer, she still felt indignant.
"I'm saying if! What if the other party is too powerful and you can't fight back? "
Lin Mengya didn't notice that Long Tianyu's expression was unnatural for a moment.
Then, he returned to normal.
"I won't let that happen."
Lin Mengya rolled her eyes. She was so angry with him.
She turned over and deliberately pressed half of her body on his lap.
She sighed faintly and there was a hint of helplessness in her voice.
