Liu Shuozhu listened to it, his body was shocked, and he immediately sighed, half speechless; Liu Gang listened, his face was livid, and he exhaled: Why does she still have her face back? Liu Xiaoyan listened to it and murmured in a trembling voice: Oh my God, she is still alive?

Thirty years ago, Liu was just three years old, Liu Xiaoyan had just been weaned, and after a fierce quarrel with her husband Liu Shuzhu over trivial matters in life, Li Guiyun gambled and came out.

Liu Shuozhu did not chase, they were incompatible, quarrels were commonplace, he thought that his wife was angry, and soon returned by himself.

Who knows, Li Guiyun has gone, there is no trace. Some villagers saw that she and a man with a strange face hurried out of the village that night, and eventually where she went became a mystery. Liu Shuozhu searched for many unsuccessful results, and then completely dead hearted, alone with hard work, raised a pair of children to adulthood, first built a brick house for his son, married a daughter-in-law, and then found a son-in-law for his daughter in the village, and the family got rid of poverty and got better and better.

Over the years, there have also been well-meaning people who have told Liu Shuozhu about the media, but the woman has withdrawn after understanding his situation. Slowly, Liu Shuozhu also broke off the idea of remarrying.

Li Guiyun came to the front of Liu Shuozhu's house, the courtyard door was closed, and after shouting and knocking on the door, Liu Shuzhu's thick voice came from inside: I don't want to see you, where did you come from, and where to go back. Li Guiyun cried: I was desperate, so I came to you.

Liu Shuozhu said coldly: We have already severed our righteousness, and it has no relationship.

Li Guiyun said: No matter what, after all, I am Liu Gang and Xiao Yan's mother, right?

Liu Shuozhu said with disgust: Thanks to you, you still know that it is the mother of the two children, when you walked away with a cruel heart, where did you still think about the death or death of the child?

Calling the door to open, Li Guiyun went to his son's house instead, Liu Gang heard her voice, the mood was very complicated, pacing back and forth in the house, his daughter-in-law said angrily: Such a ruthless and unrighteous mother-in-law, I don't want to recognize.

Li Guiyun came to her daughter's house again, Liu Xiaoyan heard her crying, her heart instantly softened, tears rushed, despite her husband's obstruction, she suddenly opened the courtyard door.

Is this tired old woman in front of her really the mother she is thinking about? Liu Xiaoyan did not dare to admit it.

Li Guiyun looked at his daughter with a cloudy gaze, and a voice rolled in his throat: You, are you Xiao Yan?

Liu Xiaoyan nodded.

Xiao Yan, my daughter, my mother wants to kill you! Li Guiyun hugged her, and the tear glands that had dried up were in tears again.

In Liu Xiaoyan's home, Li Guiyun washed her face, drank a cup of hot water, intermittently, told her own bumpy experience over the years, thirty years, she followed two men, these two men have kept her very strict, not allowing her to talk to outsiders, found out, is a violent beating, but also threatened her, if you dare to escape, kill her family.

At first, she did have the idea of running away, but then she thought about it, don't add to the trouble of her children anymore, so she buried her thoughts about her children in her heart, and the days passed slowly and slowly, day by day. Time passed, she was old and weak, did not have any more children, and unfortunately contracted the disease, and the man saw that she had become a burden, so he threw her out.

Where to go? Li Guiyun suddenly and strongly wanted to see his children, and if he could see them, even if he died, he could close his eyes. With her memory, she walked hundreds of miles and finally returned to Wangjiatun Village.

Liu Xiaoyan asked: Who was the man who eloped with you that year?

Li Guiyun inexplicably said: What elopement?

Liu Xiaoyan said: After you and my father quarreled, someone saw you and a man leaving.

After Li Guiyun tried to recall, he sighed and said: You misunderstood me, that evening, I was sulking outside the village, I met a man, he said that your grandfather and grandmother sent me, call me back. In fact, this person is a personal trafficker, and when I wake up, I can't help myself.

After discussing with her brother, Liu Xiaoyan believed that no matter whether Li Guiyun was right or wrong, after all, she was their biological mother, and as a child, she had the obligation to support her.

Liu Shuozhu did not object, but he proposed that Li Guiyun take turns to live in his children's homes and not go to him, he was used to it alone.

Li Guiyun's nose was sour and she cried again, she knew that Liu Shuzhu still hated her.
