When Mrs. Lu rushed over and saw the state of the village, her entire face was pained. She had been pampered since young as a rich missy, and had been pampered since young. She even married well after she grew up, and had never had a hard life, neither did she know that growing up in a village was like this.
When she saw the state of the village, she frowned and used her handkerchief to cover her nose. There was a stench in the air, and it was filthy.
The more she walked in, the worse she felt. Because the roads were made of stone, cars could not be driven in, and she could only walk in.
She was helped in by Chief Lu as the two of them walked in slowly. Along the way, both of their faces were pained. How could this be good?
The moment she thought about how her daughter had grown up in such an environment, she felt pained.
She wanted to cry.
The moment she thought about how her daughter had lived in such an environment and had led such a miserable life, her heart ached. Her daughter! How could her daughter live such a miserable life? How could she live here?
How could this be? She was so pained that she wanted to cry as tears welled up in her eyes. This was way too pitiful for a small village like this.
She wanted to cry, and even a man like Chief Lu wanted to cry when he saw the state of the village. His eyes were red as well. After all, he was the type of person who loved his daughter dearly as well. Their family did not favor sons over daughters, and only wanted one. Therefore, after giving birth to that daughter, they did not have any more children. Lu Huaien was the apple of their eyes, and they were afraid that he would melt in their mouths and fall in their hands.
The moment he thought about how the child he had raised for so many years belonged to someone else while his own daughter was suffering in the village, his heart ached. The two of them finally arrived at the entrance of a house in the village. In the courtyard, they saw Xu Ruan washing clothes outside.
Back at home, she had to do some chores. Usually, it was Ji Cheng who did the laundry at home. However, this was her in-laws' house, and she could not let her mother-in-law see that she was lazy and did not even wash her clothes. Therefore, when she returned to her in-laws' house, she would definitely be the one doing the laundry. Now that she was washing the clothes of the entire family, she was washing them from the well water outside.
Ji Cheng went up the mountain to chop firewood. He needed to chop half a month's worth of wood, so he spent some time away from home.
Mrs. Lu and Chief Lu were standing at the entrance, looking at how tired he looked as he washed the clothes by the well. Mrs. Lu nearly fainted at the sight of that. The door to the house was not closed, and they could only watch on.
Mrs. Lu angrily walked over and pulled her up, not allowing her to touch the clothes. She gritted her teeth and asked him with concern, "Xu Ruan … how could you wash the clothes?
Do you wash all the clothes in your family?
You are a woman's child's hand, how can you wash clothes? "
There were plenty of servants in the Lu Family. When it came to washing clothes, they were all done by specialized servants. They had never touched anyone else.
In the end, Xu Ruan actually wanted to wash his entire family's clothes here. There were so many clothes that they piled up into a small mountain.
Xu Ruan was startled by the sudden appearance of Mrs. Lu. She was at a loss for words. What was the meaning of this?
Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?
"No, madam! Is there anything wrong with me washing clothes here?
I'm just washing clothes for my family! "
Mrs. Lu's heart ached for her. "No, no! You're definitely not allowed to wash clothes here! How can you do that?
At a time like this, you have to keep your fingers clean! Even if you're pampered, how can you wash clothes for someone else? And for the entire family? What kind of a man are you married to?
How can he let you do all this? "
The beautiful Xu Ruan finally understood the meaning of this.
Why was Mrs. Lu and Chief Lu here? She did not know what to do!
"Madam … I understand your good intentions. But, this is my family's matter! It shouldn't have anything to do with you and Chief Lu, right? Why are you two here all of a sudden?"
Mrs. Lu's heart ached, especially when her daughter was right in front of her and didn't recognize her. So, she got impatient and grabbed her hand. She cried and said to her, "Xu Ruan, let me tell you something. I'm your biological mother. I'm your biological mother. He's your biological father. We're your biological parents. Back then, you swapped places with Huai En.
So, I'm your biological mother. This is my matter and it has something to do with me. This is our family's matter. I'm your mother! "
Xu Ruan was shocked when she heard this. She looked at her awkwardly, not knowing what was going on. Her eyes widened and she was in a state of shock. She did not understand what was going on.
"Madam … what are you saying?
You're my biological mother and we swapped places? "
…
Mrs. Lu couldn't wait any longer. She spent half an hour impatiently telling Xu Ruo everything that had happened back then, including the fact that she had gone abroad for a DNA test and the result of the DNA test showed that they were biological children.
Xu Ruan was still in a daze. She felt like her head was about to explode. She could not react for a long time.
She was actually … the biological daughter of the Lu family?
She had swapped places with Lu Huaien??
