"I asked some elders about the fool's daughter in private. Two of them said that they saw the old woman carrying the child out to the mountains. When she came back, the old woman was alone. It was indeed the old woman who carried the child out. The old woman said that she buried the child alive. I think it's true. At that time, it was very common to lose or give away a daughter after giving birth in town, so they didn't think it was wrong. They just sighed. It was rare for a first-born daughter to be thrown away. They all said that the first child was a girl, but most families still chose to keep the child. If the second or third child was a girl, they would send the child away or throw it away. "
That person didn't say anything, but the old woman in town still scolded the fool's mother. She said that she had seen many people give their children away or throw them on the roadside where people came and went, but she had never seen a grandmother who was so heartless as to bury the child alive.
"Did you go back to Ping Cheng to investigate?" Lu Xingzhi wasn't surprised at all. After hearing this news, he just felt that it was as expected.
"Yes," the person on the other end replied. The person on the other end replied, "I found the Xie family's old neighbor and investigated the Xie sisters. There are indeed many suspicious points."
"Tell me." Lu Xingzhi stood by the window to enjoy the wind while paying attention to the door. He was quite afraid that Jiang Yao would suddenly come in at this time, so he had to pay attention to whether Jiang Yao was near the study at all times.
"The Xie family's old neighbors said that although Xie Qiuxiang and Xie Qiuran are twins, Xie Qiuxiang is more eloquent than Xie Qiuran since she was young and is liked by Mother Xie. Xie Qiuran has a quieter personality since she was young. She likes to read, learn to write from her father, learn to play the piano, learn to draw, and so on. Between the two sisters, Xie Qiuxiang is closer to her mother, and Xie Qiuran is closer to her father. Originally, Xie Qiuxiang was sent to the countryside as an educated youth, but Xie Qiuxiang was already engaged at that time. Mother Xie made the decision to let Xie Qiuran go to the countryside in place of her elder sister.
"After Xie Qiuran went to the countryside, she only wrote letters to her father and occasionally called him. Father Xie was often worried that his daughter would suffer in the countryside, so he always secretly sent money to her. After Mother Xie found out, she quarreled with her husband several times. She said that her eldest daughter, Xie Qiuxiang, was getting married, and the family was tight on money. He even secretly subsidized her younger daughter, who barely needed money in the countryside. Therefore, Mother Xie specially wrote a letter to scold Xie Qiuran for always thinking about the family's money.
"The old neighbors all said that if it weren't for the fact that the two sisters were twins and looked the same, and that Mother Xie's child was delivered by one of the neighbor nurses in the hospital, they would have suspected that Xie Qiuran was a daughter that Mother Xie picked up from the roadside. The difference in treatment between the two sisters at Mother Xie's place is like heaven and earth."
"Is Mother Xie still alive now?" Lu Xingzhi asked.
"She's alive and healthy. She's living with her son-in-law's family."
"Continue." Lu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows and acknowledged.
