The birth of this daughter made the Yang family very disappointed. Not only did no one give her a name, but the old lady of the Yang family also encouraged her son to throw away her granddaughter, even though the Yang family did not lack the money to raise the child.
During the ten months of pregnancy, Qiu Sandi hated the child in her belly.
But after her daughter was born, when she heard her first cry and saw the disgust and disregard for her child from the people around her, Qiu Sandi couldn’t help but feel sorry for the piece of flesh that had fallen off her body.
She felt that she should hate her, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but love her.
Before she got married, Qiu Sandi had always dreamed that if she gave birth to a daughter in the future, she would send her to school, help her get out of this barren and backward land, and give her the confidence to be self-respecting and self-reliant like a girl in a big city.
She wanted to hold in front of her everything that she had wanted but had not had since she was a child.
Now that she had a daughter, but it was a daughter whom she was not expecting. This emotion was even more complicated.
In such a mood, Qiu Sandi fed her daughter her first drink of milk and helped her urinate for the first time.
On the third day after Qiu Wu was born, Qiu Sandi’s turning point occurred.
Because Old Mrs. Yang watched Qiu Sandi closely during her pregnancy, Yang Kun, a pervert, developed an affair again.
Once when he was drunk, he raped a woman who was traveling to the local area. The woman’s family was a bit powerful. When things got serious, the people behind Yang Kun could not protect him.
Not only was Yang Kun himself arrested and sentenced, but the gang behind him was also arrested and imprisoned by the police. The Yang family was busy running for Yang Kun, so no one cared about a woman who had just given birth to a child.
That night, Qiu Sandi packed her luggage and prepared to run away, completely staying away from everyone and everything in her hometown.
She had thought about abandoning Qiu Wu, but in the end, her daughter’s cries made her relent. Then, she ran away with Qiu Wu.
This escape lasted for sixteen years.
She would never forget her excitement as she held her daughter in the pocket of a kind driver’s truck, watching the nightmare land disappear before her eyes, and her uncontrollable desire to cry.
At that time, a ray of glow just appeared in the sky, so Qiu Sandi named herself Qiu Xia, which was a complete farewell to the Qiu Sandi that she once was.
Over the past sixteen years, her feelings for Qiu Wu have become more complicated. She had never forgotten the past, so she couldn’t accept her daughter without grudges.
At the same time, her mother’s instinct and sixteen years of being together day and night forced her to love this child.
Qiu Wu was not very honest when sleeping. When she turned over, the small towel blanket that was originally covering her body was kicked to the foot of the bed.
Qiu Xia took the small blanket with a complicated expression, covered Qiu Wu’s body again, and then walked back to her bed softly.

“This is Xiao Wu. She’s so beautiful. Feng Rui, this is Aunt Qiu I mentioned to you. Hurry up and call someone.”
For today’s official meeting, Feng Chenghai made a lot of preparations. He put on his best suit and asked his son to help tie his tie before going out.
However, the bright red tie and black suit were a bit rustic, but it made Feng Chenghai look even more honest.
“Hello, Aunt Qiu. Hello, Sister Xiao Wu.”
Feng Rui and Feng Chenghai looked nothing alike. Feng Chenghai was not tall, but Feng Rui was as tall as a hill. Qiu Wu calculated based on her own height that Feng Rui was at least 1.9 meters tall.
It was almost like a genetic mutation.
However, Feng Rui and Feng Chenghai had very similar personalities, and they seemed to be very easy to get along with.

Does it mean Qiu Xi’s is still married to that gangster dude who was imprisoned? Bigamy?
no I think it was a defacto marriage meaning they did not register their marriage so it’s not recognized by the law
It would have to be a de facto marriage. The legal marriage age for people in China is 20, and she was 17.
If I recall correctly, in a lot of East Asian countries, the age at birth starts at 1 because it includes the usual 9 month gestation period making the 100 day celebration extra important as thats about 1 full year of life.
If thats how age is calculated, then for western years it would be:
Marriage is only legal at 19 years of age, and Qiu Xia was 16. Her sisters were married off at 13-14.
So yeah, yikes. The very traditional and illegal expectations of marriage in the rural areas where her parents were are scary.
