The Consequence of Judging Others by Appearance

"Mom." Qi Yan walked to Tao Yiru and hugged her.

Tao Yiru patted Qi Yan on the back with a backhand, and put a bunch of flowers in front of the tombstone: "Your father will be very happy to know that you have found someone who can stay together for a lifetime."

Qi Yan turned to look at Cen Baihe, who was bowing to the tombstone, and nodded with a smile: "Yeah."

"It's windy on the mountain, let's go back," Tao Yiru put on his gloves, his expression very indifferent. In the first few years when her husband passed away, the child was also lost. During the day, she fought with a group of people in the company to fight for power. When she returned home, she began to wash her face in tears. Many times when she woke up, the pillows were wet.

Maybe it was because she cried too much at that time, and the feelings at that time were too strong. Now thinking of her husband, she feels calmer. The memory is still so clear, only the feelings faded a little bit, and the strongness is lost, only regret and melancholy are left.

It's not that she doesn't love her husband, it's just that the time is too long, it's too long...forget the feeling of love.

Looking at the two young people supporting her from left to right, Tao Yiru turned her head and glanced at the tombstone. She was unfortunate in her early years, but now she is considered complete.

After Tao Yiru returned home and left the two children to eat, he drove them away. Young people have their own lives. She is not an elder who likes to tie her children to her side all the time. Sometimes having a separate personal space can be considered an alternative enjoyment.

After six o'clock in the evening, Tao Yan suddenly found her, and there was a very old woman who came with him.

Tao Yiru knew this woman, her sister-in-law, who couldn't survive the guilt back then, and told her that the child was not lost, but the sister-in-law who was sold by her good mother.

"Sit down." Tao Yiru pointed to the sofa, with his left leg resting on his right leg. "It's so late, what can you do if you come here?"

"Auntie," Tao Yan's lips trembled, "My dad has advanced cancer. The doctor said he may be only a few days away. He said that he would like to see you."

"See me?" Tao Yiru looked at Tao Yan amused, "We are brothers and sisters, but how many brothers and sisters there are, there is probably nothing to be seen."

Hearing Tao Yiru's words, Tao Yan couldn't say anything else. He could only silently watch the red wine in Tao Yiru's hand, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Tao Yan's mother shook her hands. She is a cowardly woman. Even if she has a son who is a celebrity now, she dare not look at Tao Yiru. "Sister, I know that saying these things is difficult for the strong. I am today. Come with Ah Yan, not to persuade you, but to see you and...your children."

"He's fine," Tao Yiru gently shook the wine in the glass, "you don't have to meet."

"I see," Mother Tao stood up and bowed to Tao Yiru, "Yiru, I'm sorry these years."

Tao Yiru did not speak or move. She looked at the cowardly woman in front of her, and said after a long while: "Have you regretted it?"

"I don't know what regret is." Mother Tao's eyes were a little numb. "My family took your betrothal gift and became a member of the Tao family when they married. Your brother has a bad temper and beats people when he drinks too much. , But I have no education and skills. I have only seen places as big as the village head to the entrance of the town since I was a child. If I leave the Tao family, my family will not want me. I don’t know how to live outside when I go outside."

She shook her head: "Wouldn't this be the end of my life? Ayan became a big star, and he stopped hitting me. I learned to surf the Internet, only to know that a woman like me is called... called..." She tried her best Thinking back to that idiom, but I can't remember it.

"Look at me, it's embarrassing again," she smiled awkwardly. "Many netizens say that a person like me deserves to suffer for a lifetime. Maybe they are right. This is the way I am in this life."

"Mom!" Tao Yan held Mother Tao's hand, "How can you say that to yourself?!"

Mother Tao smiled and shook her head: "It's better for the little girl now. She reads a lot and has a vision. You can live without relying on a man."

When she was a child, her family was poor and she hadn't even read a book for a day. Her parents told her that she was a girl and had to take good care of her elder brother. When her elder brother grows up, she is a talented person. She should take good care of her elder brother. Later, her brother got married and the family was short of money, so she married the Tao family. It is said that the two elders of the Tao family have a bad opinion. If a girl marries in his house, she will definitely be frustrated by her mother-in-law, but who told her family to give so many dowry gifts, enough for her brother to marry the daughter-in-law of a neighboring village.

Later, the days went on like this. She was spinning around in the farmland and the stove all day long, and she could only watch TV with her own man. She was stupid and timid, so she could not compare to the little girl now.

Thinking of this, Mother Tao wanted to say that she didn't regret it. But she opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word.

In this life...that's it, it can only be this way.

"I'll accompany you to the hospital." Tao Yiru put down the wine glass and passed on the coat brought by the helper, "Let's go."

Tao Yan walked behind his aunt and mother, feeling bitter and uncomfortable. Aunt and his mother walked together. In the eyes of outsiders, they were mothers and daughters, but some people might believe them. His dad is not a good husband, nor is he a good father. He stayed up to watch the night when he was a child, and then he got plastic surgery desperately to make money, just to make his mother live a good life.

However, he became famous, but he did not dare to stand up clearly to support the divorce of his parents. He was afraid that the media would discredit him and negative news would affect his advertising endorsements, so his mother still endured it day by day. Instead, his dad is alive and well, showing off to others from time to time that he has a star son.

Obviously, it was his mother who brought him up from childhood, but in the end, it was his father who was the one who was successful. His mother still had to serve his father at home.

Tao Yan felt more bitter, walked quickly to Mother Tao and gently embraced her shoulders.

The hospital where Brother Tao lives is a well-known liver disease hospital in the Imperial City. When Tao Yiru saw him, he was already as thin as a piece of wood.

"sister…"

Tao Yiru didn't take off her mask. She stood in front of Tao's father, looking at him blankly, like a stranger.

"Yes, I'm sorry," Father Tao looked at Tao Yiru, "Sister, I'm sorry."

"Thirty years ago, you should say this when you beat me. Twenty-five years ago, when you lost my child with your parents, you should say this." Tao Yiru's eyes were calm, "Yours I'm sorry I accepted, but I don't forgive you."

"Ho ho." Father Tao let out a huge gasp, and he looked at Tao Yiru with pain on his face.

"What do you want to say?" Tao Yiru made a "hush" motion with beautiful fingers, "Did you forget?"

Father Tao stared at Tao Yiru.

"At that time, you said, I am a girl, what can I do."

"Look," Tao Yiru took off the mask and showed an extremely beautiful smile, then put on the mask again, "Now is the gap between me and you."

"In your life, you will be nothing more than **** until you die." Tao Yiru sneered, "disgusting."

Father Tao struggled to get up from the hospital bed, but now he could only wriggle pitifully on the bed. Tao Yiru couldn't help laughing when he looked at him so embarrassed, then turned and walked out of the hospital room.

Mother Tao glanced at the man in the ward, hesitated, followed Tao Yiru.

Neither of them spoke. Tao Yiru took off the mask and threw it into the trash can. There was no expression on Tao Mu's face. The two walked into the elevator and went downstairs, and then Mother Tao saw the young man standing at the gate of the hospital.

The young man looks very good, with eyebrows and eyes that look like sister-in-law. He also holds a lady's coat and scarf in his hand. He should have come to pick up the sister-in-law specially.

"Mom, it's so cold, why do you wear so little?" The young man saw my sister-in-law, walked quickly to her, put the coat on her, and thoughtfully tied the scarf for her.

Mother Tao shook hands and put her hand in her jacket pocket.

Seeming to find her presence, the young man smiled and nodded at her, and then walked towards a car with his sister-in-law's hand.

Mother Tao looked at the backs of the mother and the son, and couldn't help but walked a few steps outside. Only when she knew the cold wind had hit her face did she react and stopped.

"Mom," Tao Yan ran out of the gate and put a coat on her, "the doctor said, Dad is not very well."

Mother Tao grabbed her coat and nodded numbly.

One day later, Father Tao died because of a serious illness.

The mother and son only prepared a simple funeral, and buried Tao father.

"Ayan, I said two days ago that your sister-in-law's child is getting married?" Mother Tao sighed, "His wedding will definitely not invite us."

"I love invitations or not, I don't have time to go," Tao Yan snorted, "Mom, don't worry about these things now, you just need to take care of your body."

"Our family owes others, how can we not worry about it?" Mother Tao took out a box. "I heard that rich people's families pay more attention to gold and silver when they get married. I don't have much to give. You can help me with this. Send it over."

Tao Yan opened it and saw that there was actually a golden Guanyin weighing several tens of grams. To Cen Baihe or Qi Yan, it was nothing to look at, but to his mother, it was extremely precious. thing.

"Mom! Why are you doing this!" Tao Yan miraculously, "This is the money you have saved for a long time!"

"With you here, am I still afraid of lack of money?" Mother Tao smiled, "Just take it as a favor to help mom."

Tao Yan endured forbearance, but still agreed.

A day later, Qi Yan looked at the red velvet box Tao Yan had brought in front of him, and stretched out his hand to open the box.

The carvings of Guanyin are not very good, and the box is not too high-end, but the weight of this piece is not light, and it will probably cost more than 10,000 to buy it.

Tao Yan thought that Qi Yan would not accept it, or showed an expression of disgust.

"Thank you," Qi Yan took out an invitation letter from the drawer, "I hope Lingtang can have time to attend my wedding on the 18th of this month."

Tao Yan looked at the name Zhou Cui written on the invitation letter, feeling very complicated.

"Our family dared to finish the funeral. It might not be appropriate for us to attend your wedding."

"You misunderstood, I only invited Lingtang, it has nothing to do with you," Qi Yan tilted his head slightly, "Besides, I never believed in this, I believed in science."

Fuck you!

A feng shui master said that he believed in science and was shameless!

Tao Yan took the invitation back. He knew his mother would not go, just as he knew that he was not welcome in Qi Yan.

That's it, the two of them don't have much relationship now.

The years are quiet, and each is well, let it be buried in the years in the past.
