Chapter 8 How Much Do We Know About the Past

"Don't be silly!"

Aunt Tang's face instantly turned red, and she pushed me away, scolding me angrily.

"I was so happy, I got excited and couldn't control myself!"

Aunt Tang gave me a charming glare, "Alright, what's yours will always be yours, what's the rush!"
The next morning, I was still dreaming when Aunt Tang woke me up. After breakfast, she took me to the hospital. Aunt Tang
's daughter, Fang Ling, was waiting outside the ward. She must have contacted Aunt Tang beforehand! Fang Ling
wasn't too surprised to see me come along, she just nodded at me.

"Is your dad awake?"

"Dad knew you were coming today, he couldn't sleep all night!"

"Hmm," Aunt Tang replied, opening the door. I took the opportunity to peek inside. The ward wasn't big,
with only one bed. Lying on the bed was a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair, a pale face, and a rather listless expression.
He was staring at Aunt Tang without moving, looking very excited!

"You can stay here!" Auntie said and went inside.

"My mom really likes you!" Fang Ling whispered to me as Auntie reached the bedside.

"Really? Haha!" I laughed awkwardly. Did she know about my relationship with Auntie?

Fang Ling continued casually, "She told me everything!"

I panicked. How could Auntie have told me everything? It wasn't even official yet!

Before I could explain, Fang Ling added, "She brought you here at a time like today, which means she's serious.
I have no objections!" Really? Your biological father is still alive. Is she in such a hurry to find a stepfather?

"Sister Ling, you really agree?" I couldn't believe my ears. How could you be so carefree?

"Why wouldn't I agree? I'm happy she's taking you in as her godson. Dad's leaving, and I can't
be with her often. With you by her side, she won't be so lonely!" "A son?" I asked doubtfully. Was
this a lie Auntie made up?

"Yes, didn't she tell you?"

"No!"

"Then maybe she hasn't mentioned it yet! Would you like to recognize her as your godmother?" "Yes, Auntie is such a
good person, I'd even recognize my own mother!" "Then you'll be my godbrother from now on. Have you heard her talk about my dad
?" "No, I asked her before, but she didn't say! Sister Ling doesn't know either?" "I asked her too,
and Dad only said to ask Mom after she's gone!"

My heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Auntie and Uncle had a deep-seated hatred between them, so much so that they could only tell their daughter after she died
?

"Maybe we'll have an answer today!" As I spoke, I peeked into the ward, wanting to hear
what the two of them were saying!

"Shuhua, thank you for coming to see me one last time!"

"No need! I just came to remember how you were tormented by cancer, so I can feel a little better
. If I had come any later, I might not have seen you, and that would have been such a regret!" Such sharp and sarcastic words coming from Aunt Tang's
mouth was unbelievable. Was this really the gentle and virtuous Aunt Tang I knew?

The man on the hospital bed was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Fine, it's
good that you can vent your anger before I go!" "What's the use of saying all this?" Aunt Tang replied coldly!

"Yes, it's too late to say anything now!"

"I only came because of Xiaoling. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll leave right now!" "Shuhua,
it's right that you hate me. I'm not trying to defend myself, but you're truly the only one in my heart in this life!" "The mistake has been
made and cannot be undone. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I've never had the courage to tell Xiaoling the truth.
I may never have the courage to speak until I die. I only ask that you tell Xiaoling the truth after I die!" Aunt Tang didn't
expect him to say these things and asked in surprise, "Are you sure?" "It's come to this. Regardless of whether Xiaoling hates
me or not, someone has to take responsibility for this! Perhaps this illness is God's punishment for me!" "Okay, I
promise you! If there's nothing else, I'll be going!"

Aunt Tang walked to the door and saw Fang Ling. She said to her, "Xiaoling, come in! I'll wait for
you at the coffee shop across the street. I'll tell you everything you want to know today!" The weather was nice today, and the pedestrians on the street were all smiles,
still immersed in the atmosphere of the Spring Festival. We sat by the glass window, and Aunt Tang looked at the people passing by outside, her face
clouded with worry. I could tell she was quite sad, but luckily I was prepared. I took a tissue from my pocket and handed it
to her, comforting her, "Auntie, if you're feeling down, why not cry it out?" Aunt Tang took the tissue, clutched it in her hand
, turned to me, and asked with red eyes, "Should I hate him?" "Auntie, I don't know what happened between you two,
so I can't give you any advice! But Uncle probably won't last much longer. Whether you hate him or not, let
this grudge go with Uncle. Don't burden yourself anymore!" Aunt Tang, with tears streaming down her face, suddenly laughed,
wiping away her tears as she said, "Do you know why I suddenly changed my attitude before the New Year? Because I'm a married woman.
I can't be promiscuous, do you understand?" "Because Uncle is still alive?"

"Yes, Xiaoling's phone call that day reminded me! Although my marriage with him has long been a sham,
we're not divorced. Even if I don't care what Xiaoling thinks, I can't get over it myself. Can you understand?"
"I understand, Auntie is a good woman! If I really can't have you, it just means fate is beyond my control. Although
I feel it's a pity, I won't blame you!" Aunt Tang said, "Thinking about it that way, I shouldn't hate him, but rather thank
him for his sacrifice!" "That doesn't seem right!"

Auntie didn't speak, turning her head to look out the window, a smile on her face, but she kept wiping away tears with a tissue,
it was hard to tell whether she was sad or happy! After about twenty minutes, Fang Ling came out of the hospital across the street.

"How is your dad?"

"Dad's asleep!" Fang Ling replied and sat down next to me.

"Mom, you tell me!" Fang Ling took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

"You know that Mom and Dad's relationship has never been good. You might think we just have relationship problems,
but the actual situation is much more serious!" Fang Ling frowned, but didn't speak.

"To tell this story, I have to start from when I was young! My family was a wealthy one, and your maternal grandfather
was the only landlord in the village when he was in charge! I was not yet twenty years old then, innocent and carefree, and beautiful in my youth!" Aunt Tang
paused for a moment, looking out the window at the sky through the glass, her thoughts seemingly already back to
those wonderful and unforgettable years!

"Back then, I was a pampered young lady at home, with no worries about food or clothing. At school, I was like a princess
, attracting attention wherever I went, and I had countless suitors. Although I was a little troubled, I was still happy every time a boy
confessed ! This kind of life didn't last long.
In the context of the overthrow of landlords and the denunciation of rich peasants, my family also suffered! Our fields were confiscated, and our house and property were taken away. The government
only left us a tiled house and a few acres of land. In an instant, I fell from the clouds to the ground, from a glamorous
princess to Cinderella. If it were just that, it wouldn't be so bad. At most, I would suffer a little!" As she said this,
Aunt Tang's face turned pale, and tears welled up in her eyes. Seeing this, I quickly handed her a few more tissues.

"Later, someone spread rumors that your grandfather had insulted Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping! As a result, not long after,
your grandfather was taken away and imprisoned and beaten for dozens of days! Your grandfather was a good man; even as a landlord, he
never harmed a single villager. At the time, I really couldn't understand who would want to frame him like this! Your grandmother and I,
two women at home, lived in constant fear! Later, your grandfather brought your father to our door, saying he had a way to get your
grandfather out, but there was one condition!" "You can guess, right? The condition was that I marry your father! Your grandfather's family wasn't well-off
at the time , and I didn't believe he could do anything, plus I didn't even like your father. Of course, I refused at first!
Later, your grandfather said he had a family heirloom, and if I agreed to the condition, he would use it to exchange for my father's release!
" " There are two women in my family. Your maternal grandmother has always been in poor health, and after this incident, she's bedridden. I was naive and inexperienced,
and I had no choice but to agree to their demands!" "Shortly after your maternal grandfather came out, I married your father!
However , your maternal grandmother had already developed health problems by then, and she passed away before you were born. Your paternal grandfather
also suffered from aftereffects, and his health became very weak, with a constant cough!" "I thought our
family's suffering was about to end, but I was wrong! After the marriage, your father's family took good care of me, and I was prepared to
settle down as an ordinary farmer's wife! Shortly after you were born, while I was at home recovering from childbirth,
I overheard a conversation between your grandfather and your father, and it plunged me into hell in an instant!" Aunt Tang's voice
became !

"So it turns out everything was your grandfather's conspiracy from the very beginning! He colluded with the village chief at the time, using the pretext
of overthrowing the landlords, all to divide our family's property equally! Later, knowing your father was my suitor, he
again conspired with the village chief, staging a scene of a son-in-law rescuing his father-in-law!" Fang Ling listened, dumbfounded,
frozen in shock. No wonder, even I, an outsider, found it hard to accept after hearing my aunt's account!

"Back then, I wanted to tear them both to pieces, but I never imagined your
grandfather ! He... he was so angry he vomited blood and collapsed on the spot. A few days later, he followed your grandmother and passed
away! Waaah, waaah..." My aunt, recalling the painful past, burst into
tears . In less than two years, the family's fortunes declined, her closest relatives passed away one after another, and she even gave birth to
her enemy's child. It's hard to imagine how she managed to survive all that! No wonder Aunt Tang
has always treated her husband like a stranger. If it were me, I probably would have taken them all down with me long ago!

"After your grandfather's burial, I was utterly despondent and had no will to live. Several times I wanted to kill the people who killed my parents
and then commit suicide! But every time I did, your crying and fussing ruined my plans. Gradually, I began
to understand that the only reason I continued to live was because of you, Xiaoling!" "Mom!!!"

Hearing Aunt Tang's heartfelt words, Fang Ling couldn't help but go over and hug her. The mother and daughter both burst into tears
.

Aunt Tang cried as she spoke, "After that, I had a falling out with them. I threatened to kill myself so your father wouldn't sleep in my
bed! Your grandfather suggested kicking me out, but thankfully your father still had some conscience and didn't agree! A few years later, when
you were four, that heartless grandfather of yours also died! Your father tried to reconcile with me time and time again,
but I refused. Whenever I saw him, I was reminded of what my parents went through, and I didn't even want to hear his voice!
However , to avoid causing you any distress, I rarely argued with him, and over time, this led to
the cold war we've been in for so many years!" "Mom, I'm so sorry you've suffered all these years..." "I never understood you, I never imagined you were
suffering so much! Waaah..." Hearing her daughter's heartfelt words, Aunt Tang smiled with relief, tears welling in her eyes.
She said, "Mom isn't suffering. With your words, all the suffering I've endured these years has been worth it! Your father wronged me,
wronged your grandparents, but he was truly devoted to you. He was a good father, don't hate him!"
These few words only revealed the truth to me, but the hardships and grievances Aunt Tang had suffered over the years
couldn't be summed up in a few words. How could those of us who haven't experienced it truly understand the difficulties she faced? Putting myself in
her shoes, could I have persevered for so many years until the truth came out and the suffering ended?

Ultimately, this matter can't be entirely blamed on Uncle. He loved only Aunt Tang his entire life,
and even now, at end of his life, he remained without regret! The one who committed the grave mistake is long gone, while he spent his entire life
bearing this sin, hoping for forgiveness! Only then did I understand why my aunt had asked me if I should hate him. She
had long understood my uncle's sacrifices, and even without marital affection, she hadn't treated him as an enemy. Seeing
him inevitably brought back painful memories, which was why she had always been cold and sarcastic towards him.

It was because of my uncle's constant forbearance and sacrifices that my aunt's sudden change of expression after receiving the phone call that day—at that
moment , I understood everything!
