Shao-guan in Guangdong Province
"Xin Yue ! Xin Yue !" Aunt Zheng meng Yao tries to wake me up not knowing I wasn't asleep for I've waited for this day to come.Opening my eyes, I smiled.
"Good morning aunt meng Yao" I greeted with a smile.
"Oh little Xin Yue, you're finally awake"she said as I nodded.
"Come, mommy is waiting outside, come and get ready "Aunt meng Yao said as I quickly climb down from the bed and rushes to the bathroom.
' finally, we're going to meet my Father, it has been five years since I've never seen my father.I was only four years old when we left home.Now I'll be turning nine today.meeting my dad today will be the best birthday gift I've ever received.
Walking outside I saw my mom sitting on a pavement beside our well.
"Mom" I called and quickly rushes to her .
"Good morning Mom "I said with a smile 'mom looks a little tired and pale today' I thought.
"Xin Yue "mom called and patts my hair "Happy birthday to you"she said with a bright smile, seeing her smile brights my day.
"Thank you,mommy"I said and hugs her .
"Let's go get your birthday gift"Mom Said and chuckles as she stood up and gestures me to hold her hand, holding her hand we left our compound.

Arriving in our former village,where we lived with my father.i thought of asking this one question that runs on my mind.
"Mom,is father going to accept us back finally?I asked.
"I pray he accepts us back "Mom said as tears forms in her eyes.
"I remember,father never liked us..."I murmured and turned away my gaze so that mother will not see my frowned face.
"Bai Xin Yue "mom called.
"Yes, mommy "I answered when mommy bends down to my face and said.
"Your father never dislikes us,just that...he needs a male child"she said and touches her belly which have already grown bigger then continues "Hopefully this child will be a male child...."tears drops from her eyes as she giggled and said "I'll be the ... the happiest mom."she said,I suddenly hates the fact that father once treats us bad.This tears reminds me of how mom use to cry back then , and I felt sad not knowing what to say again.
"Mom, please don't cry,my baby brother won't be happy seeing you like this"I said with a smile touching my mom's belly as she giggles and said.
"We should get going so we will not anger your father"mom said as we kept going.
"Mom, One more question please "I asked.
"Go on,child "she said.
"When will my baby brother comes to this world "I asked.
"Hopefully your brother comes to this world sooner "she said as we kept going.Not too long we arrived to our destination.
'father could be seen with a lot of men who looks like an assassins.what could father ...be possibly doing with this men 'I thought.when mother let's go of my hand and walks to my father and bows.
"My Lord"she said still haven't rise.
"You may rise"he said.
"Lord Tian xu?who are these people? they shouldn't be here right?"Mom asked .
"Shut the crap!!!"father yelled and said "Fang su! Take little Xin Yue away from here "he ordered as fang su ,one of his men did as he was ordered.Talking me away I sensed that something was off.
"Lord Tian xu, where are they taking our child"mom Said confused"we came her because you said you're ready to accept us back, aren't you gonna accept our daughter too?she asked.
"Our?"Tian xu said and chuckles"Do you think I still need you and Xin Yue?"he said and grabs her by the arm and yelled "I only need a heir!!!"he yanks her.Bai yaling with this noticed that the fortune teller results are that she's pregnant with another phoenix.she couldn't do anything but cry in front of Tian xu.
"If I really knew you'd mess up my life I shouldn't have married you,how dare you get pregnant with another female child!!!"he yells and yanks her."you're such a useless woman!"he yelled as Bai yaling screamed in pain as her arm hurts by Tian xu 's tight grip on her arm .
"Tian...xu"she calls as tears dropped from her eyes.
"Do you think it's too late??"he asked with a mean voice.
"Tian xu.... you're hurting me"Bai yaling said as tears drops from her eyes non-stoply.
"Answer me!!!"he yelled and said "it's never too late and It'll never be too late killing you."Tian xu said when Bai yaling yelled back to him.
"Tian xu,what if this child I'm carrying now is a male child...what if the fortune teller's results are not real ...what are you gonna do?... answer me!!!!."Bai yaling yelled out of anger.Tian xu could never imagine that this woman in front of him would ever try to raise her voice at him.fuming in anger he slapped her so hard that she losts her balance and fell.
"Aaahh!!!"Bai yaling passed out a scream.
