Chapter 443: Love for My Daughter 1: In order to find my child, I divorced my husband...

When Cao Guangyuan saw Yao Zhizhi coming to help, he was relieved and quickly explained what had happened.

In short, this girl was indeed adopted by them and was not abducted at all.

Ever since her son passed away, Cao Guangyuan was very depressed for a while. Later, Ma Xiangqin's ex-husband brought their children to see her, and she asked them, since adopting a girl can bring about a son, why not adopt another one.

When Cao Guangyuan heard this, he thought, yes, since the two daughters they had sent away could not be found anyway, the couple must have children to take care of them in their old age. So he cheered up and went to the countryside to try his luck.

Before leaving, they looked for Xiao Qu, but Xiao Qu was unwilling to help, so the two of them had to find a blind fortune teller near the train station to take them with them.

Coincidentally, the three men met an old lady who had abandoned her baby girl on the road. They stopped her and asked about the child's date of birth. The blind man calculated and found out that the girl was destined to have a younger brother. Cao Guangyuan took the child back without hesitation.

Who would have thought that now that the child was weaned and Ma Xiangqin was pregnant, she would be found by the child's biological mother and cause such a scene.

Cao Guangyuan was filled with indignation: "I just don't believe it. If she really loved the child, would she let her mother-in-law give the child away? She just wants to extort money."

Yao Zhizhi does not deny this possibility, but there are also cases where the mother-in-law secretly sends the baby girl away, and the daughter-in-law is completely unaware of it because she is weak and bedridden after giving birth.

As for why she waited until the child was weaned before coming to find him, that is easy to understand. After all, such vicious mother-in-law generally will not tell the truth. If the daughter-in-law wants to find out the whereabouts of the child, it will inevitably take some time and energy.

It was actually quite fast that they found me in less than a year.

So Yao Zhizhi raised her hand and asked Cao Guangyuan to wait for a moment, then called the baby girl's biological mother to go to the corridor outside to talk alone.

The woman's name was Yang Xiuyun. She looked haggard, had a thin body, and had severe dark circles under her eyes.

When she saw someone coming to help Cao Guangyuan, she subconsciously thought that Yao Zhizhi was here to persuade her to give up the child, so her attitude was very bad, and her eyes were full of resentment and dissatisfaction.

However, Yao Zhizhi couldn't get angry with such a woman. She was a mother who had lost her child and was aggressive due to stress. She should be sympathized and pitied, not blamed and despised.

So Yao Zhizhi took out her handkerchief and wiped the woman's tears. Even though the woman opened it, she remained calm and said, "Don't worry. My mother-in-law is the director of the Public Security Bureau's Water Branch. I will never favor any criminal. If you don't believe me, ask the neighbors in the yard."

The woman then realized that the bookish woman in front of her was not here to help the evildoer.

Her tears fell uncontrollably: "That's great! My dear sister, please make the decision for me."

Yao Zhizhi wiped away her tears, patted her shoulder, and waited patiently for her to calm down and tell the truth.

The result was just as Yao Zhizhi had expected. The poor woman had a falling out with her in-laws since she found out her child was missing. She didn't even wait until she was out of confinement to ask around for the child's whereabouts.

Unfortunately, as a woman who married from another commune, she did not get any support from the locals.

That group of people not only helped her mother-in-law conceal the truth, but also advised her that it was a pity to send her daughter away, as she would not have to breastfeed and could prepare to have a son after the confinement period.

The woman was disgusted by the ugly faces of the group of people and was determined to find her daughter.

Unfortunately, she was alone and weak, so she had to go to her parents' home for help.

However, she underestimated the whole society's malice towards women, and overestimated the so-called blood is thicker than water in her natal family - when she needed help to take care of her parents, they were family members; but when she needed help from her natal family, she was like a married daughter, like spilled water, an outsider.

The poor woman, who had no support from her own family, was forced by the man on the same night she returned to her husband's house.

It was not until then that she completely saw the man's ugly face. It turned out that he had known it all along. It turned out that he also despised her for giving birth to a daughter. It turned out that he also felt that instead of spending time raising a money-losing child, it would be better to abandon the child and have a son as soon as possible.

The woman had no choice but to jump into the river.

It was a kind-hearted widowed old lady in the village who saved her.

"Grandma took care of me until I could walk again. Then she told me that she happened to be working in the fields next door the day my mother-in-law sent the child away. She didn't know the couple's background, but she could tell from their clothes that they were from the city," Yang Xiuyun sobbed, wiping her nose. "Although this isn't a definitive clue, it's very useful information for me. I divorced my husband to find the child, and when he left, he forced himself on me again. I called the police, but they tried to smooth things over, saying it was just a family matter."

Yao Zhizhi was not surprised. Even though it was New China now, in the eyes of many people, they still did not treat women as human beings.

Not to mention when there is no divorce, even if a woman is violated before marriage, most people will advise her to keep quiet and may even force her to marry the rapist.

There are many examples like this, and sometimes Yao Zhizhi feels really disappointed and disheartened.

But think positively, at least there are still many normal people in this world.

Social change and ideological shifts always take time; individual power is often too weak in the face of the grand narrative of the times. However, Yao Zhizhi is now a graduate of a prestigious university and has had her own novel adapted into a film.

In addition to helping this poor mother at this moment, she can also create more related works, make them into movies and TV series, to enlighten the people and promote ideological innovation.

She gripped the woman's shoulders tightly and said soothingly, "Don't be afraid, I'll help you with this. Tell me first, do you want to take the child away?"

"Of course, I found the child with great difficulty." Yang Xiuyun burst into tears again. "In order to find the child, the old lady accompanied me all the way in the city, sleeping in the open air and eating and drinking. She died not long after. If I gave up like this, I would not only be sorry for myself, but also for the kind old lady."

Yao Zhizhi understood. Although she also knew that Cao Guangyuan would most likely not give up, the child was his own flesh and blood, and there was no reason for Cao Guangyuan to forcibly take the child away.

She turned around and glanced at the police officer next to her. Xiao Jin had already gone to the Criminal Police Detachment of the Public Security Bureau. He was replaced by a new greenhorn named Zhang.

Yao Zhizhi instructed, "Xiao Zhang, go verify who the Red Star Commune's public security commissioner is. Also, verify whether there's any local police report of Comrade Yang Xiuyun."

Xiao Zhang is a short young man who doesn't like sitting in the office. Since he can go to the rural commune, he might as well go. However, he is not under the orders of Yao Zhizhi, so he turned around and looked at Lao He, the deputy director of the police station.

Old He finally made it, and after Tang Fengyuan was transferred to the Water Branch, he became the deputy director.

Seeing this, Lao He nodded and said, "That's my plan too. Go ahead."

Xiao Zhang quickly agreed and went to do his work.

Yang Xiuyun was now completely relieved. She held Yao Zhizhi's hand tightly, full of anticipation: "Then what about this Cao family?"

"Don't worry, I'll try to persuade you. I see you're not feeling well, so let's go to my house and have something to eat first." Yao Zhizhi glanced at the little girl hiding behind Ma Xiangqin, clutching her trouser legs. After a moment's thought, she pulled out a handful of candy from her pocket and said, "Little darling, how about going to Aunt Yao's house to play for a while?"

The little girl was shy and shook her head, not wanting to go.

Yao Zhizhi stood up and looked at Cao Guangyuan with a cold face: "You know who I am. Don't force me. Now, take the child and follow me."

Cao Guangyuan hesitated for a moment, but finally did it anyway.

There was no way. Although his son was important, he didn't dare to offend Yao Zhizhi.

When Ma Xiangqin saw that her adopted daughter was about to be snatched away by someone, she was actually quite happy.

But she was afraid that if this child was taken away, she would lose the baby in her belly, so she had to grit her teeth and follow him.

If it really doesn't work, she will make a fuss. After all, she is a pregnant woman, what is she afraid of?

Besides, the child has been with her since he was still in swaddling clothes. In order to raise the child, she has been running around looking for someone to feed him, and she has always given people some eggs, rice and flour every time. Is her effort going to go to waste?

Impossible!

Just like that, Ma Xiangqin gritted her teeth and followed Yao Zhizhi to the courtyard by the lake.

Yao Zhizhi returned home and went to the kitchen to make some food for Yang Xiuyun. As for the Wu family's affairs, there was no rush. Let Lao He and the others handle it first.

She was also a mother, and she understood Yang Xiuyun's feelings very well. She sat down and comforted her, "Eat slowly, you're welcome. Since I'm in charge of the matter, I will definitely come up with a plan that will satisfy you."

Yang Xiuyun was so grateful that the Yangchun noodles in front of her became even more delicious.

While eating, she glanced at her child out of the corner of her eye. The longing that had accumulated for nearly a year turned into torrential tears at this moment, dripping into the noodles and becoming a seasoning with a unique flavor.

It just so happened that Xingxing and Yueyue were tired from studying and came out to relax. Seeing this, they went to their mother to ask what was going on.

Yao Zhizhi gave a brief explanation. The brother and sister were very angry, but they didn't want to scare the little sister, so they looked at each other and thought of a way to help Aunt Yang establish a little connection with the little sister - Xiao Xingxing walked to the front of the piano and lifted the red velvet cover.

He sat down at the piano and chose a cheerful piece called Jingle Bells.

The timid little girl was immediately attracted by the beautiful piano music and began to struggle in Cao Guangyuan's arms.

Little Moon set up a folding table next to the piano and took out a lot of delicious snacks from the inner room and placed them on it.

The little girl was greedy to begin with, but she was just shy of strangers. Now she was attracted by the sound of the piano and was in a playful mood. She saw a smiling sister waving at her, and finally she couldn't help it. She twisted herself out of Cao Guangyuan's arms and got off the ground. She staggered to the little sister, sucking her fingers and looking at her sister eagerly.

Seeing this, Little Moon called out, "Aunt Yang, come here."
