Seeing that look made Luo Xiujuan feel incredibly ashamed. She lowered her head in embarrassment, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly, and said with a hint of embarrassment in her voice, "I know I'm being pathetic, but I still want to find the father of my child..."
"Why?"
"I... I'm not willing to accept that he's just disappeared like this. Everything has to have an outcome." Luo Xiujuan raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, and said in a hoarse voice, "Even if he's fallen for someone else, I'll accept it."
Ye Yun frowned.
"If that's what you think, shouldn't you take the child to the county town? What's the point of letting the child go alone?"
"He knows his father's name."
"What's your name?"
"Xun Xiangbin".
"So you expect him, a child, to find his father in the vast sea of people in the county?" Ye Yun was not optimistic. "I don't think the chances are high. It's not easy for an adult to find his father, let alone a child."
"Let him give it a try..."
Luo Xiujuan swallowed the bitter taste in her throat with difficulty, and looked at the child through her tear-filled eyes.
The child on the bed lowered his head and remained silent after hearing his mother's request, as if he had fallen into a closed world. Ye Yun and Luo Xiujuan's eyes both fell on him, but he did not move and did not even blink.
"Hey girl, thank you for your help."
Luo Xiujuan wiped away her tears and pleaded in a hoarse voice.
Seeing her persistence, Ye Yun thought for two seconds and said, "My suggestion is that if you really want to find Xiao Hai's father, why don't you go with Xiao Hai?"
"No, thank you."
Luo Xiujuan shook her head.
Her eyes were already red, but she still looked at Xiao Hai with affection and smiled sadly. "Actually, I know in my heart that his father may have already started a new life, while I am still stuck in the same place. I shouldn't go looking for someone who has left, but I am unwilling to give up like this. Let the child try on his own. If he finds someone, it is fate. If he doesn't, it is also fate. I have done my best. I leave everything to fate."
Okay, what she said makes sense.
When told to give up, she still wanted to search; when told to search, she felt there was no hope, so she let the child try, leaving everything to fate.
"As long as your child is willing."
“He can do it.” Luo Xiujuan nodded gratefully immediately. “It’s just that he’s still young, so you might have to worry about him a lot.”
"A minor issue."
Ye Yun did not intend to take care of Xiao Hai herself.
Dongdong and Xiaohai from Chen Zhenxing's family are only two or three years apart. If Director Chen takes care of one, it's the same as taking care of two.
...
The next day.
After breakfast, Ye Yun and Qin Zheng decided to set off back to the county town.
Qin Xiang'e finally brought a basket of golden persimmons, stuffed them into a basket, and asked Ye Yun to take them back to the city to eat, leaving Ye Yun both amused and exasperated.
Xiao Hai silently followed beside her.
Luo Xiujuan repeatedly told the child to be obedient and not to cause trouble for the adults.
"Remember, your father's name is Xun Xiangbin. If you meet this person, first ask him if he is married. If he is not married, tell him that he is his son, your name is Luo Jiahai, and your mother's name is Luo Xiujuan. If he is already married... then just pretend you've never met him, understand?"
No matter what she said, the child kept his head down and remained silent.
Qin Zheng interrupted her again.
"Alright, let's get ready to go."
Everything was fine before.
Ye Yun boarded the sidecar and let Xiao Hai obediently lean into her arms.
But just as the sidecar drove out of the yard, Xiao Hai suddenly seemed to snap back to reality, abruptly raising his head and crying out to Luo Xiujuan in heart-wrenching sobs: "Mother—"
