BXBX NOVEL Chapter 33
At this moment, Song Yu knocked on the door of the study and said anxiously, “Xiuyan, second brother, come out quickly. I saw sister Ding Yao’s stepmother walking toward our house with a man.”
When Song Xiuyan and Song Yang came out, Ding Yao also came out of the room. Wang Hongxia was here? She was probably here for the Snake Swallow Stone. The news of her using the Snake Swallow Stone to save Song Yang had long been spread. It would be strange if the greedy Wang Hongxia didn’t come to snatch it.
However, no matter who it was, Ding Yao wouldn’t hand over the Snake Swallow Stone. If Wang Hongxia acted like a scoundrel, she naturally had a way to deal with her.
A stranger followed behind Wang Hongxia. Ding Yao glanced at him and confirmed that she didn’t recognize him. That man was well-dressed and looked like a rich man.
Wang Hongxia entered the room with a smile on her face and waved at Ding Yao. “Ding Yao, come quickly. This is your biological uncle. He specifically came from the capital to see you.”
Ding Yao was stunned. An uncle from the capital? Why did she suddenly have an uncle?
The original host’s mother was called Zhou Nanzhi, and she was also from Spirit Stone Village. However, she was born in the capital. At that time, Zhou Nanzhi’s parents worked as small merchants in the capital. It was said that when Zhou Nanzhi was young, she was accidentally burned by an oil lamp and had her face severely disfigured. The older she grew, the uglier she became. Her parents sent her back to the countryside and she was raised by her grandmother. During this period, Zhou Nanzhi’s parents didn’t care about anything other than giving her some child support.
After she grew up, because of her ugly face, no one came to propose marriage even when she was almost twenty years old. Later, someone introduced her to Ding Yao’s crippled father, Ding Qingshan. One of them was disfigured, while the other was crippled. None of them should have disliked the other. However, whether it was Zhou Nanzhi getting married, giving birth to a daughter, or even dying in the end, her parents didn’t appear. They hadn’t paid any attention to her for decades, but now, they had suddenly appeared... no matter how she thought about it, it wasn’t right.
“Ding Yao? You’re Ding Yao? You’re so pretty. Good girl, I’m your uncle!” After seeing Ding Yao, the man was very excited. He put the things in his hands on the ground and walked over, wanting to hug Ding Yao.
Ding Yao took two steps back to avoid him. What a joke. A stranger whom she had never met before wanted to hug her casually?
Seeing that Ding Yao’s attitude was so distant, Wang Hongxia couldn’t help but scold her, “You don’t even recognize your own uncle? Why are you hiding?”
Seeing this, Song Xiuyan stood next to Ding Yao and said, “Ding Yao has lost her voice now and can’t speak. Please forgive her, Uncle.”
That man didn’t think it was a big deal for Ding Yao to avoid him. He just looked at Song Xiuyan, then he introduced himself, “I’m Lin Hu. Ding Yao’s mother is my sister, and I’m Ding Yao’s biological uncle. I just came back from the capital and came to see Ding Yao, but I was told that you brought her home early.”
Song Xiuyan nodded and politely invited Lin Hu to the living room to have tea.
Seeing that Ding Yao refused to hug him, Lin Hu held Ding Yao’s hand, and tears fell. “Ding Yao, I didn’t know that you were having such a hard time. If he knew, I would have taken you to the capital long ago!”
Ding Yao didn’t shake off Lin Hu’s hand, but was on guard. So this “Uncle” wanted to take her to the capital? Song Xiuyan’s heart thumped. His wife had just been brought home, but she was going to leave them now?
Lin Hu’s clothes looked okay, and he was probably doing quite well in the capital. If Ding Yao wanted to go with Lin Hu, Song Xiuyan felt that he had no right to keep her, unless Ding Yao herself was unwilling to go to the capital. How could Ding Yao not be willing to go to the capital? Thinking of this, Song Xiuyan felt somewhat depressed. Song Yang and the others weren’t in a good mood either. If their sister-in-law left, what would happen to Song Yi’s legs? But Ding Yao’s elder sister’s uncle was here to pick up Ding Yao and bring her to the capital to live a good life, so how could they have the nerve to forcefully keep her?
Ding Yao didn’t say anything. She still felt that there was something wrong with her uncle and needed to observe him again.
Lin Hu’s tears continued to fall. “Don’t worry, Ding Yao. I know that you’ve suffered, so I won’t ignore you anymore. I’ll definitely bring you to the capital to live a good life!”
