"He told everyone that he came to the city to find me, but in fact, what he is looking for is another woman who was leaving him while being pregnant with his child," Liu Piao added nonchalantly.
Liu Hua was surprised when she heard this and asked, "Sister, is this the reason why you left him?"
Liu Piao shook her head and said, "It’s one of the reasons, but it’s not entirely the reason. At that time, he told me that he would marry me, but he would never love me because he already has someone he loves. He only married me to fulfill his parents’ wishes."
"You know my personality. I would rather never get married than settle for the second best thing. So, I told him that as long as he could help me apply for a travel permit and give me 100 yuan, I would bear the consequences of breaking off the engagement and give him a reason to go to the city."
"He agreed to my proposal, and you know the rest of the story," she added with a smile.
After Liu Hua learned the truth, she was shocked at first. But considering her cousin’s character, what she did was indeed predictable. Isn’t she like this too? Rather than settling for the next best thing, she would rather not get married.
Liu Piao looked at her cousin and Xiao Xi and asked, "Then what are your plans next?"
Liu Hua rubbed her son’s head and said with a smile, "Ah Li and I have already informed our family. We will bring Ah Xi to our home and let everyone know his identity. We don’t want others to think that he is our adopted son."
After a moment of silence, Liu Piao asked, "Ah Hua, are you sure? You and your husband may have to face the consequences for the rest of your life. It’s even possible that this incident will affect Ah Xi."
"Sister, Ah Li and I owe this to our son. As his parents, what we can do is protect him and give him the best. If this matter affects Ah Xi, we will move to the town," Liu Hua said firmly.
Xiao Li sat in the driver’s seat and listened to their conversation without speaking. He was prepared for the worst. If necessary, he would take his wife and children and live in a faraway place.
Now, he has started working at Li Lingyun’s pig farm. Although business has not resumed yet, he is responsible for feeding pigs and cleaning pig pens every day, so he still gets paid.
Although everyone thought he was heavily in debt, in fact, not only did he have no debt, he also saved a lot of money after working for a few days.
Since he was doing the most tiring and dirty job, Lao Hu raised his salary to 300 yuan per day and gave him 5 kilograms of meat and 5 kilograms of bones per week.
His salary is paid on a daily basis and he is allowed one day off every ten days. Although the salary and benefits are good, he needs to clean a total of twenty pens every day. So, it’s also hard-earned money.
