“When my subordinates told me that there was a little girl in Qingping County who looked a lot like my wife when she was a child, I sent people to investigate, but actually... I was thinking more about how, even if the little girl wasn’t my daughter, I would treat her as my daughter and bring her to my wife’s side.”

"Because at that time, my wife's condition was getting worse and worse. She needed someone to take care of her 24 hours a day, otherwise..."

“Child, do you know that she has done many foolish things, and several times even risked her life?”

"She was a mother, and she had a much deeper affection for that child she had never met than I, as a father, did."

"Over the years, whenever I could..."

"Alas, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, our children wouldn't have ended up in the countryside and suffered so much."

“Child, I know you are very smart, extremely smart. You've only just started school, yet you can already look up words in the dictionary by yourself, so you will definitely be able to understand what I'm saying. And you will understand what I want to tell you.”

“That’s right, child. You are the child who was switched with a stillborn baby, and you are my wife and my only daughter. I am your father, and she is your mother.”

"Of course, there's one more thing Dad has to tell you."

"Although you were switched with a stillborn baby, that person wasn't your adoptive parents. It was a doctor at the hospital who was bribed by my rival. So..."

“I know.” Yun Duo said calmly upon hearing this. She paused, then continued, “They won’t switch the baby girl. If they were to switch, they would take a boy back.”

Yun Duo's words were calm, but they brought tears to Zhou Huiyu's eyes once again.

Nowadays, many Chinese people, especially in rural areas, prefer sons to daughters. She originally thought that since her daughter was still receiving an education, things must be going well, but who knew... the implication from her daughter's words was that this family also preferred sons to daughters?

How much suffering did your daughter endure in this family?

Just thinking about it made Zhou Huiyu's heart ache, and she couldn't help but say, "My child, I'm so sorry. I should have found you sooner. No... I shouldn't have let anyone have the chance to take you away. I shouldn't have gone to that hospital. If I had just given birth at home, none of this would have happened."

Yun Duo could tell that Zhou Huiyu was serious when she said that. Her voice was thick with sobs and regret, and at the end, there was even a hint of hysteria. It was clear that this was her true feeling. Yun Duo couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

If it were the original owner, she would probably be happy, right?

After all, the original owner had suffered abuse all along and had never felt the love of a father or mother. However... in the original owner's short and somewhat chaotic memories, Yun Duo had actually discovered that she envied Yun Shuisheng.

But it was too late.

She is not the original owner of this body.

Moreover... ever since she came into this world, an elderly couple has been very kind to her, and they almost broke off relations with their two sons because of her. How could she possibly make them worry?

However, the biological mother of this body seemed to be a sentimental and easily depressed person, so she didn't want to upset her. After thinking for a moment, Yun Duo said softly, "I just said that I didn't have a good life before, but I'm doing quite well now. Before, no one cared about me, and anyone could bully me. If you had appeared back then, I would have been very happy."
