Duoduo, adapting to local customs, obediently sat down next to Da Liu and Xiao Liu.
When the Hong family members, who had just returned home, were called over, they were all filled with questions.
Shishi pointed to the unfolded folding bed, her face beaming with smiles and her enthusiasm evident.
"Put your child down next to mine. You all sit there and don't talk. Grandma Gu has something to say."
The family of four didn't understand her intentions, but that didn't stop them from obeying her.
Upon seeing Chen Juan's face directly, Gu's mother was almost certain that the little girl in front of her was her long-lost child.
That year, my husband was away on a business trip. Unfortunately, due to a problem with the food ingredients, he was framed and died of a heart attack.
She had just given birth to her second child three months prior, and her in-laws were unwilling to lend a hand for fear of getting involved, so the widow and her child had to go and claim the body.
Although the factory later investigated and cleared the husband's name, and provided compensation, he could never come back, and his young daughter was also lost.
Under the double blow, she was bedridden for a full month, while her four-year-old son shouldered the burden of the family, learning to do laundry and cook.
Not only did her in-laws not help, they also took the opportunity to steal her compensation money and job.
If it weren't for her son's quick thinking and ability to get support from factory leaders and the local government, she and her son would probably have reunited with her husband long ago.
In the dead of night, the image of that tiny baby in swaddling clothes lingers in my mind.
She also has a son to raise, so she can't find the time to go find him. Besides reporting to the police, she can only silently pray for God's mercy.
More than 20 years later, when they met again, her babyish voice was clear, and her adorable smile with her gums widened was vividly recognizable.
As she spoke, Gu's mother wiped away her tears.
“There is a history of heart disease in the Gu family. My husband inherited it from his grandfather, and Duoduo also inherited it from my husband.”
“Child, although my mother-in-law is a wicked person, she did do one good thing in her life: her appearance made me recognize you.”
“You look a lot like her. I’m pretty sure you are my long-lost daughter.”
Hong family: ......
This is truly a matter of fate; it just happened out of the blue. I was just saying I was going to use my heart condition to find my relatives, and here it is now.
The experience described by Gu's mother was exactly the same as what Gong An said about Chen Juan being abducted. No one would believe that Chen Juan was not a child of the Gu family.
Blood ties are truly amazing; at least for this moment, Chen Juan empathized with Gu's mother's grief.
Her abduction was not Gu's mother's wish. The tragedy of the mother and son back then was caused by human intervention. Gu's mother was already pitiful enough to lose her husband and then her daughter.
For a woman who has to raise children and work to support her family, asking her to find a trafficked child is extremely difficult.
She didn't blame her, only lamenting the cruel twist of fate that they had never met, even though they lived in the same city.
Gu Huasheng had no classes in the afternoon, so he came early, thinking he would have lunch with his daughter.
He couldn't find anyone in the ward, but heard from the person in the next bed that they had been discharged. He rushed to the doctor to ask what happened and found out that it was Zhou Shi who had helped with the discharge procedures.
I rushed over and heard my mother talking about her youngest daughter.
He walked in without closing the door.
The people inside were so engrossed in listening that they didn't notice until his voice rang out.
"Mom, are you talking about my sister?"
Chen Juan turned around, and their eyes met. Gu Huasheng exclaimed, "She, she looks like a young grandmother."
Great, the novel has a new plot development.
Shishi winked and said, "Gu boy, you know what I mean. Hurry up and write. I don't ask for much, just ten articles a day."
She actually made two hand gestures.
Gu Huasheng: ...I actually understood the meaning behind the two slaps.
