Chapter 5 Settling Down
The next morning, Xiao Taohong walked out of the apartment with a lot of worries and walked around the neighborhood to look for Taoma's figure. She had a bad sleep that night. She closed her eyes and started having nightmares. She dreamed that her hateful father was holding her to the terrible big yard. The owner of the yard looked her up and down, with a picky face on her face. Finally, she threw a dollar on the ground like a beggar. Her father happily picked it up, while she cried: "No, no, I want Muma."
Mom! She sat up from the nightmare, and her forehead was sweating. It was her biological mother. She gave birth to her and raised her. She was secretly sold by her father. She remembered that Mom was lying on the bed and was drowsy because she had no money to see a doctor. She was worried that she would die, so she squatted at the foot of the bed and cried sadly.
All this suddenly turned out like a dream, and it has been twenty years in the blink of an eye.
For twenty years, she has been a big star who keeps herself clean. She also went to night school, practiced good handwriting, treated people politely and generously. In social occasions, the famous ladies could not find any mistakes from her.
In previous newspaper reports and everyone's perception, she was an orphan whose parents died. She was sent to Fuqing class to study medicine by a kind-hearted person. Therefore, she didn't even remember the surname of her biological parents. After becoming famous, she changed the stage name Xiao Taohong to Taohong. This incident also beautified in the newspaper that she never dared to have a history of being humble from her background and hard to learn opera shows her calmness, confidence, elegance and generosity. Only she herself knows that her former surname and name are things that she wants to forget forever, as well as her biological parents. Her father later bet on his own life and didn't know where to die. Many of them have died in this Shanghai city.
The patrolman was seen by someone who was pulled in a small cart. He couldn't bear to give him a broken straw mat, so he sent it directly to the suburbs of the city. Her biological mother was also the object she had been trying to forget. She was an elegant and generous star. She had a mother who rode thousands of people and rode thousands of people. This would ruin her! She still remembers the low sneer of the friends in the yard. She was sold into the yard. She was already living at the bottom of the society. Such children could laugh at her unscrupulously. She couldn't imagine what would happen when someone showed that her mother was still alive and had a big sore on her face! I would be forced to death by those people!
Because of the relationship between men and women, Ruan Lingyu left a saying that he was afraid of suicide, and what she was about to face was a hundred times more dangerous than Miss Ruan.
When she thought of this, she felt cold in her heart. She couldn't help but wrap the duck down quilt tightly and muttered to herself: "Mom, if you really love me, for my own good, why didn't you break yourself up there? You have to endure all these years and suffer myself, and I will also be implicated. You are still too selfish and can't bear to die."
She wore a hat early in the morning, covered her face tightly, and began to search nearby.
Of course she knew that it was impossible to find a house to rent last night, so who would go to find a house at night. But she didn't want Tao's mother to go home with her. Oh my God, she was covered in big sores of bayberry, smelly and dirty, and she was not clean, and she was so tired of picking up customers. How could she have the nerve to come to find her daughter to take care of her elderly care? It would stain her room. When she came back last night, she wiped her hands with alcohol several times, but she was not relieved. It was really! The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she couldn't help but clench the strap of her handbag.
"Xiaohong, are you looking for my mother?"
A timid voice rang out.
Xiao Taohong turned around and saw her mother getting up from the corner of the wall with a humble smile on her face.
The smile was so dazzling in her eyes. What a smile. I don’t know how ugly it is to smile with my pussy and wrinkles on my face.
At this moment, she didn't care about teaching her a lesson and just whispered: "It was reported in the newspaper that I am an orphan whose parents both died. Don't call myself a mother-in-law. Remember, you are my distant relative."
After saying that, Xiao Taohong felt something was wrong. If someone knew that her distant relative was a girl, that would be embarrassing. She would definitely question her family background and character. So she covered her nose with a handkerchief and said, "It's not a relative, it's me... I'm the servant of my family in the past."
Xiaotao once made up a pitiful life experience for herself. Her parents lost their family and their family members lost their property, and her family members lost their property. The family servants fell down and their money scattered. "Oh, I am also the life of a lady, a maid, and everything is indescribable." When she talked about the past, she lamented like this. In this life story, she cleverly disguised herself as a daughter from a scholarly family. Even if she was in trouble, her elegance in her bones was still there.
A trace of sadness flashed in Tao Mom's eyes. Your servant? My silly Nannan, your mother and your father, counting for three generations, are all poor people, they are all hardworking to give their mother's life, where does the servant come from?
But now she knew that she had nothing and had never disturbed her daughter's life for many years. Now that she was sick, she always had to rely on her daughter to help her. She smiled and said, "Okay, I used to be your mother, you are my eldest lady."

But now she knew that she had nothing and had never disturbed her daughter's life for many years. Now that she was sick, she always had to rely on her daughter to help her. She smiled and said, "Okay, I used to be your mother, you are my eldest lady."
Xiao Taohong nodded coldly and turned around and said, "You are very smart. You think more about money than life. You can't bear to rent a house for you. Forget it, you are too lazy to care about it. Go and buy some food yourself and wait for me here. I'll find you a place to live and pick you up later."
Xiao Taohong has lived in Shanghai for many years. In those years, she had to deal with all kinds of people and knew where to find a middle-aged man. She found a shop that was a middle-aged man, lowered her hat brim and said she would rent a room.
"It doesn't take much better, just a small attic, mainly to be fast, and it's best to be able to live in immediately."
Xiao Taohong was worried that her husband would come, and Tao's mother would always linger at the door of her apartment, which would cause trouble, so she was anxious to find her a place to live.
Having money can make the devil push the mill. Seeing that she was willing to pay the rent for one year in one go, the middle-aged man happily helped her find a small room. The place was a bit off, the alley was small, with wooden buildings on both sides, and a small attic for rent.
Such a house is stuffy in summer, cold and humid in winter, and small in the house, so it is difficult to rent it out. Xiao Taohong doesn't care about these things, so she has to place the hot potato immediately.
Tao's mother followed Xiao Taohong into the house and was very happy: "Is she given a year's rent? Alas, Xiaohong..."
After she said this, she saw her daughter glaring at her, and she hurriedly said, "Thank you, Miss."
In the past twenty years, Tao's mother has suffered too much. She has learned to observe her words and demeanour and please others.
"Look at how good I treat you. I rented the house and the bedding is ready-made. Just wait for the sun to take it out and let it dry. And your disease..."
She pointed to Taoma's face. The latter didn't know how to be ashamed, and couldn't help but lower her head. Then she heard Xiao Taohong say, "I didn't say that I rented a house for someone like you. Don't let people see your face. If you want to know, I'm afraid you have to drive you out if you don't have rent. Just wrap your face. I'll see that you can't treat this disease."
Tao Ma said dumbly: "I asked the sisters who worked together and said that what injections would work when going to a foreigner's hospital."
"Really? Then you go, you're enough money to give you an injection, right?"
Tao's mother didn't know how much the needle cost, so she shook her head and said, "That needle...for foreigners... will be quite expensive."
"That's just that I think the money is too low?"
