Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1247: Chapter 1245 She knew she was gone_1 Chapter 1247: Chapter 1245 She knew she was gone_1 If it were simply because of the private elopement and subsequent suicide attempt that she became like a Puppet, it wouldn’t be enough.

Not for Zhuang Luhe.

From the moment that Tong Sanlang suddenly appeared and saved her, she was actually freed.

Returning home, everything had changed dramatically. Qiao Xiaomai, with her own hands, had built such a grand family business, and Zhuang Luhe could now be a carefree landlady.

So although she didn’t dare to go out for fear of criticism during the first few days after her return, she was able to do household chores and make new clothes for Qiao Xiaomai and Qiao Dami. Continuing like this, she thought, given a little more time, she might actually recover and live like a normal person again.

Qiao Changshun didn’t hold her elopement against her, and neither Qiao Dami nor Qiao Xiaomai mentioned a word about it; these three people embraced her with the most generous hearts.

At that time, she thought that maybe, just maybe, after all her suffering, the hardships were truly behind her.

But then, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang went to Prefecture City for the examination, and the Sun Family came.

Seeing the Sun Family, she actually felt a bit scared, especially when the Sun Family cursed and swore; Zhuang Luhe didn’t dare to talk back at all.

The Sun Family, carried away by their ranting, after berating her and Qiao Changshun, began to curse Qiao Xiaomai.

Cursing Qiao Xiaomai for her unfilial actions, saying that she would be struck by lightning for her deeds.

Hearing these words, Zhuang Luhe didn’t take them to heart; she knew clearly that if anyone deserved to be struck by lightning, it was the Sun Family.

But when the Sun Family tired of cursing and their language cleaned up, they began to reminisce about the past.

In their reminiscing, they mentioned the huge changes in Qiao Xiaomai, muttering about being possessed by a ghost as if she’d become a completely different person.

The remarks made by the Sun Family were thoughtless, but Zhuang Luhe took them to heart.

Her daughter, her most understood and familiar one.

What kind of temperament the real Qiao Xiaomai had, what little habits she commonly exhibited, her manner of speaking and gestures–Zhuang Luhe knew them all.

But this Qiao Xiaomai in front of her had changed in every way.

Could these huge changes really be explained simply as “Having died once, she didn’t want to take any more grievances”?

They could not.

They could not.

And that phrase, when scrutinized, was terrifying–“Having died once, having died once”–was it implying that her real daughter had actually already died…

Thinking of this possibility, she felt a chill throughout her body at that moment.

And once this thought entered her mind, it made her doubt everything.

What she was willing to believe before now seemed suspicious however she looked at it.

Not to mention anything else, just take the present Qiao Xiaomai’s craftsmanship, that was an unexplainable loophole.

The real Qiao Xiaomai’s culinary skills, learned from Zhuang Luhe, were clear to her.

But the skills of the person before her were so good they almost defied nature.

The excuse “Having died once so she suddenly gained insight” couldn’t make any sense of it.

She became more and more convinced that her daughter had died, that she was no longer present.

This fact almost drove her insane. Whenever she thought of Qiao Xiaomai’s face from the past, her heart felt as if it was put into a frying pan.

An excruciating pain, an immense agony.

She couldn’t bear it, so she chose to run into a wall.

She chose suicide, to die and find her daughter.

But she couldn’t die, and she lived until Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang returned.

Thus, she began to observe the Qiao Xiaomai in front of her, and the more she observed, the colder her heart felt.

Nothing was as she imagined.

Everything was different.

Not the same person, the Qiao Xiaomai in front of her was not her daughter. Her daughter had always been meek, never speaking loudly, but this Qiao Xiaomai managed to scold Qiao Changshun until he was speechless.

And then there was Tong Sanlang, the most outstanding young man in the villages around, who would never have taken an interest in her real daughter.

Her daughter, was truly gone.
