Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Xiaoya, Mother needs you. We’ve agreed that we won’t be separated for the rest of our lives. We’ll be a family from now on. Have you forgotten?” Su Wen frowned slightly, feeling like she was Cinderella’s stepmother. She remained silent, giving Xiaoya and Song Jingxian time to talk. Previously, she did not care enough about Xiaoya. When Xiaoya’s father and stepmother were around, it was inconvenient for her to barge into Xiaoya’s life.
If Song Jingxian really cared about Xiaoya and gave her motherly love, she would support her even though she was reluctant to part with Xiaoya.
It all depended on Xiaoya’s choice.
Xiaoya was very conflicted, but she was very happy. She had never been so happy before.
After she was sold by her stepmother, people still cared about her and looked for her whereabouts. She wasn’t the wretched girl that her stepmother mentioned, someone who would die without anyone knowing. She felt very satisfied and proud.
As she thought about it, Xiaoya laughed.
She wiped her tears with her sleeve and grinned at Su Wen.
Su Wen looked at her smile and knew this sensible little girl had made her choice.
“Aunt Su Wen, I can’t leave my new mother behind. It’s not easy for me to have a mother. I’ll take care of her for the rest of my life.”
Xiaoya’s words made Song Jingxian burst into tears. She stepped forward and hugged Xiaoya, crying and laughing at the same time. “My dear daughter, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. If you don’t leave me, I won’t leave you.”
“Okay!” Su Wen’s eyes reddened as well. “Now that you have a new mother, you can’t forget about Aunt Su Wen, okay? Don’t forget you have a good partner, Little Aunt! ”
“Yes!” Xiaoya nodded heavily. When I grow up, I’ll come back to look for Little Aunt and tell her to wait for me.”
“Good!” Su Wen suddenly remembered something and took out a big bag of candy, chocolate, and other snacks from her bag. “Little Aunt asked me to bring these back for you. She also asked me to tell you that she knows a big fool called Zhou Hengguang in the Province. She will get a lot of delicious food from that big fool for you in the future.”
Su Wen felt speechless at the thought of Little sister’s words.
Xiaoya happily accepted the gift.
Su Wen asked Song Jingxian for her address and phone number in the Capital. She jotted them down carefully. To avoid any misunderstanding, she explained to Song Jingxian that she was supportive of her becoming Xiaoya’s mother. However, she did not want to cut off contact with Xiaoya.
She would not interfere with Xiaoya’s new family.
Song Jingxian liked Su Wen’s attitude and her concern for Xiaoya very much.
When the train left, Song Jingxian hurriedly got on the train with Xiaoya, and Su Wen chased after her for a long time.
Xiaoya only realized that Su Wen had secretly stuffed an exquisite wallet into her pocket when she could no longer see her on the platform. It was full of money. There were five-cent coins, ten-yuan coins, five-yuan coins, one-yuan coins…lt was obvious that it was Su Wen’s wallet, and she gave it to Xiaoya in a hurry.
“Your aunt is very good. Remember to write to your aunt when we get to the Capital,” encouraged Song Jingxian.
“Thank you, Mother.”
“I should be the one thanking her.”
On the way back to Trinity Village, Su Xueyong couldn’t help but ask Su Wen,
“Why do you want to find Xiaoya even if you have to offend someone?”
“Because I can’t let Xiaoya be abandoned quietly.”
Su Wen recalled the despair of Little sister being sold in the novel, and a hint of sorrow appeared in her eyes.
“Think about it. If you were secretly sold and your relatives were indifferent about it. No one cared about you at all. How pitiful was that….”
