The number one family in Gaoliu Village, Grandpa Gao's family, had a baby girl. Logically speaking, Grand Elder Gao should be happy with this child. However, the arrival of the baby girl didn't bring any joy to Grand Elder Gao. Instead, it made him fall into pain. Because, after the child was successfully born, Grand Master Gao's wife suddenly bled out. At that time, not to mention a remote mountain village, even Zhanggong Town, which was more than 30 miles away from Gaoliu Village, would definitely die if such a thing happened. Therefore, due to the birth of this baby girl, the wife of the tall master lost her life. This was undoubtedly a very heavy blow to the tall master who had a deep relationship with his wife and was also very orthodox.
Grand Elder Gao was not a man who valued boys over girls, because he was one of the few literate people in Gaoliu Village. Not only that, but because of his superior family conditions and his high talent, Grand Master Gao could be said to be a cultured person in Gaoliu Village, or even within a hundred miles. Therefore, the tall master was still open-minded about having a boy or a girl. The reason why Grand Elder Gao was unhappy about the arrival of this child was that he always thought that this child had taken away his beloved wife's life.
Putting aside how Grand Master Gao had handled his wife's funeral, the birth of this baby girl caused him to lose his mother and his father to lose his lover. Therefore, this child who was born into a wealthy family should have been very happy. However, it also incurred his father's annoyance. Grand Elder Gao rarely looked at this child.
Therefore, from the day the child was born, he had been following Uncle Wei's wife. As for the Wei family, they had no children, so they especially liked this child. This might be out of nature, but also out of nature. When one was old, they would always value the happiness of their family. Only those who liked having children running to and from their knees were truly happy. If there were no children running around in a family, it would always feel cold and lonely.
Although we often say that children from other families are too annoying and cry at the drop of a hat, that's because we often hear children crying. If you often couldn't hear your child cry, your heart would feel empty. Not only that, but they would also be especially envious of other people's homes. There would often be the cries of children.
Aunt Wei was taking care of the child, so of course, she didn't need to worry about food, water, clothes, and other necessities. Although Grand Elder Gao didn't want to see the child, he was still very concerned about his daughter out of animal instinct. However, due to a psychological barrier, even during the New Year, Grand Master Gao still let his daughter follow Grandpa Wei and his wife. Moreover, Grandpa Wei and his wife really liked this child. Every New Year or festival, the Wei family would be nervous, afraid that Grand Master Gao would ask the young lady to leave them and spend the New Year or festival with him. Because in the Wei couple's hearts, due to a habit, if they really left this child, they really didn't know how to live their lives.
Due to psychological barriers, the baby girl had been born for a long time, and Grand Master Gao, a cultured person, did not give the child a name. Therefore, the people of Tall Willow Village could only call this child by her name. Aunt Wei felt upset when she thought about how this child had lost his mother since birth. Therefore, she often called this child a bitter child. Therefore, it seemed that the name of the child was Bitter Baby. As the bitter child grew up day by day, Uncle Wei and his wife found that this child was quite smart. Compared to children of their age, he was more than two years sensible.
Due to an unforeseen event, the tall master had lost his beloved wife and had also contracted a bad habit, which was alcoholism. Often because of his bad mood, he would use wine to burn his worries. Moreover, Grand Elder Gao felt that he had not had a day of peace since his wife passed away. Therefore, drinking alcohol was his only pleasure almost every day. However, as the poor child grew up day by day, especially after the poor child learned how to walk and talk, Grand Elder Gao also wanted to be intimate with his own daughter. However, for some reason, whenever he saw this child, he would think of his wife. Whenever he thought of his wife, Grand Elder Gao would drink too much. As long as Grand Master Gao drank too much, Missy Ku Wa would be sensible enough to quietly leave and go to Aunt Wei, who Ku Wa often called Grandma.
The first time a poor child was held in his father's arms was when he just learned how to walk, talk, and call his father. Perhaps it was Aunt Wei who led the poor child and pointed at the tall master and said,"Bitter child, call me daddy. This person is your daddy.”The bitter child called him daddy very obediently.
The bitter child's call of 'daddy' completely moved Grand Elder Gao's heart. Grand Master Gao then remembered that he not only had to fulfill his responsibility as a husband to his wife, but also as a father to his daughter. Thus, Grand Master Gao kindly picked up the bitter child. Back in the house, Grand Elder Gao sat on the armchair and put the bitter child on his lap. Grand Elder Gao began to carefully look at the bitter child. Who would have thought that this careful examination would bring up the knot in Grand Master Gao's heart---he thought of his wife again. Hence, he reached out to grab the wine bottle on the table. He raised his neck and gulped down a few mouthfuls. After taking a few big gulps of wine, Grand Elder Gao's gaze at the poor child began to change.
The bitter child noticed the change in Grand Master Gao's eyes, so she quietly slipped down from Grand Master Gao's lap and walked out silently to find Aunt Wei. "Grandma, the poor child won't go to Daddy's place anymore." Daddy drinks and doesn't like poor children.”
Aunt Wei said,"Poor child, that's your biological father!" How could he not go? Besides, your father gave you everything you eat, drink, wear, and use. You're not allowed to say such things in the future. You still have to go in the future. If you don't want to see your father drink, come out and look for Grandma when your father drinks.”
That night, after the bitter child fell asleep, Aunt Wei said to her husband,"Old man, don't you think that this girl is too smart? How could a child who had just been a little over a week old listen to an adult's attitude? Today, the poor child finally called the old master daddy. The old master was so happy that he carried the poor child back to his room. Who knew that the old master might have seen the bitter child and thought of the bitter child's mother. He only drank a few mouthfuls of wine. Perhaps after drinking the wine, the bitter child saw that his master's expression was not right, so he ran back without saying a word. She even said that she would never go to Old Master's place again. She said that Old Master didn't like her after drinking.”
Grandpa Wei heard his wife's words and said,"Actually, this child's life is not good, but this child's heart is very smart. To be honest, when you were a bitter child, did you hear him cry? She rarely acted like other children and acted shamelessly. It was as if the child understood everything. She would always nod and wink at you. Sometimes, when she saw that you were unhappy, she would even coax you.”
Grandpa Wei said as he filled a pack of cigarettes. Then, he lit it up and took two puffs before continuing,"Have you forgotten? There was once when she was angry. I said that if you continue to make trouble, Grandpa will be angry. I pretended to be angry and sat on the brick bed with a pack of cigarettes. She shouted again. Seeing that I ignored her, she climbed to the windowsill to get the fire sickle and even smiled as she made the action of lighting the fire.”
When Aunt Wei heard her husband's words, she sighed heavily and said,"Sigh! This child's life was bitter! Otherwise, how good would it be to be born into a rich family? There was nothing to worry about. However, she had no mother when she was born. It would be fine if she had a grandmother or uncle, but she didn't have one either. It's not a problem for Old Master to drink all day long, and it's not a problem for him to forget Madam! His body couldn't take it anymore!”
Grandpa Wei heard his wife's words and said,"I'm going to town to deliver goods tomorrow. He could also ask the town if Tian Erni, whose husband had just died, was still married. What if she married him? I came back to talk to the master. They are of equal status. Tian Erni is also a young lady from a rich family.”
The next night, Grandpa Wei delivered the goods back and had dinner. Soon, they arrived at Grand Master Gao's room.
As soon as he entered, he said,"Master, you see, you've been pestered by the bitter child. It's been a long time since you've come to greet Master."”
Grand Master Gao saw that it was Uncle Wei. Hearing Uncle Wei's words, he said unhappily,"Brother, if you keep talking like this, I'll really be unhappy! I told you not to call me master. It was fine for others to call him that, but not for you. What should we say? You can say that you watched me grow up. Ever since I was young, I rode in your car. You were the one who picked me up and dropped me off at school. You're not allowed to call me that in the future. You're my brother, and I'm your little brother. Our relationship should be closer than that of real brothers! Moreover, you're getting older by the day. You should be enjoying your life. Who knew that the bitter child would have to trouble the two of you to take care of him? I'm afraid that the bitter child won't be able to leave you in the future. Brother, you are doing your duty for me! To be honest, I don't even know how to thank you two!”
Grandpa Wei heard Grand Master Gao's words and said,""Old Master, no, little brother, I want to tell you something. If it's right or wrong, don't be unhappy.”
Grand Master Gao continued after Grand Master Wei,""Brother, you're wrong again, aren't you? We brothers, we're both 110 to each other, don't you think so?”
"Yes, yes, yes. Look at Old Master. In this residence, you are Old Master. You live in the upper room and I live in the side room. This is the best house in the residence. It's enough to show Master's affection for me. If that's the case, then I'll be straightforward, Master.”Uncle Wei said,
"Speak! Brother. I won't be angry no matter what you say. We're closer than blood brothers! That's why I asked the poor child to call you two grandparents. That means that although I call you brother, in my heart, I actually treat you as an elder. Do you think that junior can pick on the elders?”
"It's like this, Master. I see that you always drink like this. This is not a good thing! If this went on for a long time, his body wouldn't be able to take it, right? If it's because of Madam's problem, I want to say that I went to town to deliver goods today and asked Tian Erni. She had just lost her husband recently, and her father was also a well-known rich man in town, Tian Dabang. This could be considered a match of equal status, and they were considered dutiful and honest. You might as well ask her to come over and fill in the room. This way, you can take care of yourself and take care of the poor child.”
"Brother! What are you talking about? It's not that it's impossible, but think about it. The life of a poor child is hard enough. He lost his mother when he was born. As for me, I couldn't forget Madam and didn't want to see her. It's not that I don't like bitter children, but whenever I see bitter children, I think of Madam. Madam is an educated woman and a university student. She was only willing to marry me because she was in trouble. For so many years, she had been silently working hard for this family. If she wasn't a poor child, why would Madam leave so early?”Grand Elder Gao said as tears welled up in his eyes. She couldn't help but reach out and wipe her tears. She continued,"Besides, Tian Erni has her own son. If we accept this marriage, we have to let them down. But what about the future? I don't want anyone to fight for my poor child's property in the future. Even if Tian Erni didn't bring her son over, who could guarantee that she wouldn't abuse the poor child after she married into the family? After all, she was a stepmother! Everything was unpredictable! If it really came to that, wouldn't Ku Wa suffer even more? If that's the case, I'll let down the bitter child and the deceased Madam. After all, the bitter child is the only bloodline of the Madam!”
Grandpa Wei heard Grand Master Gao's words and said,""What little brother said seems to make sense. It's this elder brother who didn't consider things properly! Alright, don't worry, little brother. Just pretend I didn't say anything.”
"To be honest, I'm not worried about remarrying," Grand Master Gao said. It's just that the bitter child has caused too much trouble for you two, and I've always felt bad. If you don't mind, you can take care of the poor girl until she grows up and marries her, okay? This can be considered a small request from me.”
Grandpa Wei didn't feel unhappy that Grand Master Gao didn't agree to his marriage proposal. Instead, he felt a sense of security.
Grandpa Wei left Grand Master Gao's room and returned to his own room. He said happily to his wife,"Master has agreed to let us take care of our daughter until she gets married. Isn't that great? I was afraid that Master would marry a housewife and take Miss back, not letting us take care of her!”
Aunt Wei heard her husband's words and said,"Aren't you a little selfish? How's the marriage you proposed to Master? What was the result?"
Grandpa Wei heard his wife's words and said,"Old Master was afraid that Tian Erni would be two-minded, so he didn't agree to this marriage.”
Because Grand Master Gao was afraid that the poor child would be wronged, he did not agree to Tian Erni's marriage. Therefore, Ku Wa could always stay by the side of his grandpa and grandma, the people he thought were closest to him. They lived a bitter life with a hint of sweetness.
