Eighties Sweetheart Wife
Chapter 322 A Great Woman

Chapter 322: Chapter 322 A Great Woman

Song Yunuan hopped down from the cart, on such a hot day, with no big trees around to take shelter from the heat, continuing to walk would lead to heatstroke.

Without asking questions left and right, getting back to the village was the priority.

Old Man Song, without discussing, ordered his wife and the other two to get on the cart. Song Yunuan lifted a little girl with cheeks red from the heat, about four or five years old, onto the vehicle, and was about to take off her coolie hat, but Old Man Song timely stopped her, took out two straw hats from the box under the carriage and handed them to Ma Cuifen, saying, "Everyone sit tight, we’ll be there soon."

Ma Cuifen, dizzy from the sun, still noticed a little girl so beautiful it seemed unreal.

Is this a relative of Uncle Song’s family?

But with a stomach full of worries and grievances, she hardly had the leisure to ask about it.

The journey was silent; the road had been repaired, and Big Jujube trotted along with a clop-clop sound, quickly returning to Erdao River.

The cart returned just as Song Liang saw it, just about to ask something, but the cart passed by him.

Song Liang saw Ma Cuifen and the two children from the Ma family.

He did not see Ma Cuifen’s husband.

This could mean trouble.

When they arrived at Old Ma’s doorway, Sixth Aunt Ma was tidying the vegetable garden and immediately spotted her second daughter, carrying bags and leading two children.

Ma Cuifen got off the cart.

With a wail, she burst into tears.

Sixth Aunt Ma’s heart skipped a beat.

Song Yunuan: "Let’s go inside first; they’ve been walking all the way."

It’s hot today, and at this time, no one would go to the fields; everyone waited, or else heatstroke could be life-threatening.

The Ma family members were all there.

You could also see Sixth Uncle Ma in the shade holding a half-finished coolie hat in his hands.

Sixth Aunt Ma urged her daughter and granddaughter to hurry inside, feeling they should thank Big Brother Song.

Old Man Song waved his hand: "Go inside quickly, I must head to the county town to deliver goods."

Old Man Song drove the cart with the packed clothes and headed for the train station in the county town again.

Passing by the cultural troupe, he did not stop, for Youngest Aunt was rehearsing these days, and a visit would be pointless, but Youngest Aunt was off tomorrow.

Song Yunuan decided to go home with Youngest Aunt the next day.

She went to find Xiaocao to share the gossip she had heard and to gauge her reaction.

If Xiaocao had softened her heart and run back to her birth mother, then Song Yunuan would have no choice but to act as if she didn’t know her in the future.

To her surprise, at the gate, she saw Xiaocao’s mother; the doorman wouldn’t let her in, so she stood at the gate, wailing.

The woman had changed a lot, looking very worn and haggard.

Meanwhile, in the dormitory, Aunt Wu told Xiaocao, "Don’t bother with her. Now she knows you’re her biological daughter, what was she doing before?"

Xiaocao nodded: "I won’t reconcile with her, there’s nothing of mine in that home. It’s just that I worry it might affect the factory’s reputation, this place is my only refuge, and if I lose it, I’ll have nowhere to go."

Then she said, "I’ll go see what she wants to do."

Aunt Wu felt relieved; the girl had changed tremendously, as if reborn.

At that moment, Liu Daniu spotted Song Yunuan at first glance, initially showing joy but then immediately filled with resentment, this little meddler.

Otherwise, why would Xiaocao choose to do farming at home rather than return to a place that she is reluctant to even call home?

During this time, Zheng Dong, who had received the news, walked out.

Seeing Song Yunuan, he immediately smiled and said, "Hey, isn’t this the busy bee? How come you have time to drop by here?"

Chu Xiaocao also came out and, upon seeing Song Yunuan, her eyes brightened with happiness. Song Yunuan was her benefactor, the one who had helped her find a place that provided food, accommodation, and wages, and had even obtained a complete set of elementary school textbooks for her and arranged for her to attend a night school tutoring class.

Now, she had finally graduated from elementary school.

She was no longer illiterate.

There were many kind-hearted people, like Aunt Wu and Factory Director Zheng, all helping her.

Even though it was not time to get off work, people still gathered around.

Chu Xiaocao’s face changed. If she allowed Liu Daniu to continue sobbing, she would feel too embarrassed to stay there.

Chu Xiaocao stood at the gate, mustered her courage, and raised her voice, "Even if I’m your biological daughter, what of it? True affection comes from raising a child. You said that I didn’t grow up by your side and have no feelings for you. Blood relation is useless. Whether I live or die has nothing to do with you. You only recognize Chu Jiaojiao as your daughter. These were the very words you said in front of President Huang. I’ve always remembered them and have never forgotten. I can’t possibly go back with you. Please leave. Don’t disrupt the factory’s work here..."

Song Yunuan was indeed impressed with Chu Xiaocao.

It hadn’t been long since they last met, and she had become even braver.

Song Yunuan gave her a thumbs-up.

Liu Daniu had not expected Xiaocao to speak such words. She wanted to tell Chu Xiaocao the truth but felt too ashamed to reveal it.

The truth was that Jiaojiao was actually the child her husband had with another woman. They were cruel for selling their own daughter and then taking the child born of her husband and that despicable woman into their home. She had been so good to Jiaojiao, sparing no expense for her food or clothing. Yet as soon as Jiaojiao found out who her real mother was, she sneakily ran off to acknowledge her. Only they were a true family of three. How ridiculous that she had been raising the child of that shameless woman.

Chu Youfu was even worse, saying that as long as they could get Xiaocao back home to help earn money for Jiaojiao’s education, he would let Jiaojiao recognize her as her mother. Jiaojiao was a good student and was bound to get into university and make a name for herself. Better days were ahead. Xiaocao was of no use; she hadn’t been raised by her side and had no close relationship with her. Better to coax her to earn money for the family to spend.

This electronics factory didn’t pay, but she could go back home to farm or make money crafting straw hats.

It was surely better than here.

With a steely resolve, no matter what, she absolutely had to take Xiaocao back today.

Just when she was about to open her mouth, Song Yunuan said, "Aunt Liu, I’ve heard about an interesting incident that happened in your village, have you heard about it?"

Liu Daniu’s face changed colors.

Song Yunuan leaned in closer, her voice low but intense, "I heard that a ’great’ woman sold her own daughter in order to support her husband’s illegitimate child. When the biological daughter, who had suffered greatly, finally came home, she was met with nothing but disdain. The woman even said that blood relations are useless, and that even if there was no blood tie, the child she raised was the one she loved the most. In the end, she even thought about selling her daughter another time. Tell me, who is this ’great’ woman? How unlucky must the biological daughter be to have been born to her?"

The crowd was stunned into silence.

Even Chu Xiaocao’s complexion changed.

Song Yunuan thought that Chu Xiaocao must have been unaware of this.

The crowd exchanged glances, quickly coming to realize the gravity of the situation. My heavens, could it really be like this?

Then, this Aunt Liu, she truly was ’great.’

Ever since learning that Xiaocao wasn’t making money, she hadn’t bothered to visit. Her heart was cold enough.

Now, how could she shamelessly show up?

Liu Daniu felt like she wanted to disappear into the ground, but she could not admit to any of it.

She glared at Song Yunuan with eyes filled with shame and hatred.

The last thing Song Yunuan was afraid of was that look.

With a beaming smile, Song Yunuan said, "Aunt Liu, is there such a story? I heard that the Women’s Federation from both the commune and the county are planning to get involved and investigate."
