Chapter 1173 Close to the Truth
"I asked some old people 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 herself said that she was buried alive, and it would be true if she thought about it. At that time, it was too common for the town to give birth to a daughter and give it away, so they didn't think it was wrong. They just sighed that the first daughter was thrown away. Still relatively few, they all said that the first child is a girl and most people choose to stay, and if the second child and the third child are daughters, they will be sent away or thrown away."
The man didn't say anything, but the old woman in the town still scolded the fool's mother, saying that she had seen too many people who gave away the child or left it on the side of the road where people came and went, but she had never seen a mother who had the heart to bury the child alive. grandmother.
"Did you go back to Pingcheng to check?" Lu Xingzhi was not surprised at all, after hearing the news, he just felt that he was in the same mood as he expected.
"I'm back." The person over there replied, "I found the old neighbor of the Xie family and checked the affairs of the two sisters of the Xie family. There are indeed many suspicious points."
"Tell me." Lu Xingzhi stood at the window blowing the wind, while focusing on the door, he was quite afraid that Jiang Yao would come in suddenly at this time, so he needed to always pay attention to whether Jiang Yao was near the study.
"The old neighbors of Xie's family said that although Xie Qiuxiang and Xie Qiuran were twin sisters, Xie Qiuxiang was more eloquent than Xie Qiuran when she was young, and she liked Xie's mother. Xie Qiuran had a quieter personality when she was young. She liked to read and learn to write, play the piano and paint with her father. Painting and so on, the two sisters, Xie Qiuxiang was closer to his mother, and Xie Qiuran was closer to his father. Originally, Xie Qiuxiang was sent to the countryside to be an educated youth, but Xie Qiuxiang was already engaged at that time. Qiuxiang's going to the countryside seems to be because Xie's mother is partial to these things about Xie Qiuxiang, and before Xie Qiuran went to the countryside, the relationship with Xie's mother has been so cold that they hardly speak."
"After Xie Qiuran went to the countryside, he only kept in touch with his father by writing letters and making occasional phone calls. Xie's father was always worried about his daughter's hardship in the country, so he would always secretly send money to his daughter. Xie's mother had quarreled with her husband several times after she knew about it. When daughter Xie Qiuxiang got married, the family was short of money, and he privately subsidized the little daughter who hardly needed money in the countryside, so Xie's mother wrote a letter to reprimand Xie Qiuran for thinking about the little money at home all day long."
"Old neighbors said that if it wasn't for the fact that the two sisters are twins and look the same, one of the neighbor nurses helped deliver the baby Xie's mother gave birth to in the hospital. The daughter who came here, the treatment of the two sisters in Xiemu's place is very different."
"Is Mother Xie still alive?" Lu Xingzhi asked.
"He's alive, his body is still strong, and he lives with his son-in-law's family."
"Continue talking." Lu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows and hummed.
"After Xie Qiuran went to the countryside for a few years, it seemed that he could be transferred back soon, but Xie Qiuran called his family and said that he would marry a man he knew there. Father Xie asked the man's conditions. He heard from an old neighbor that Father Xie felt that the man The conditions were too poor to be worthy of his daughter, so he forced her to go home, but Xie Qiuran was stubborn and refused to listen to the persuasion, so he wanted to marry that person. Because of this, Xie's father threatened to deny her daughter. After that, Xie Qiuran really never contacted his family again."
