Chapter 527: Jumping into the River to Survive, Recognizing the Mother (Part 1)
"Yeah, that's the kind where they sell people to other provinces and villages to be wives and bear children," Han Yunru said indifferently. "When they're selecting people, they even discuss who has a big butt for childbearing, and who has strong feet so they can work in the fields, cook, and feed pigs."
But because her butt was not big enough, her feet were not thick enough, and her hands were too tender and white without any calluses, she became a defective product that was picked out.
Several human traffickers discussed selling her to the red-light district, or simply keeping her by their side, and having her help "entertain" customers when needed, and go out to stand on the street to make money when not needed.
Han Yunru heard this and thought that the worst that could happen was being sold to the countryside and abused.
Being a little more docile may not mean you can survive.
As long as you are alive, there is hope of escape.
But now, God doesn't even give her this only way to survive.
In order to protect herself, Han Yunru had no choice but to take a risk. When the van was passing a bridge across the river, she saw the opportunity and jumped...
Jiang Da hugged his wife tightly, his arms were bulging with veins from endurance, and his cheeks were as stiff as iron.
Han Yunru leaned quietly in the man's arms, and even when she talked about the moment when she jumped into the river, her voice did not fluctuate at all.
As cold as an outsider.
But no one knew what kind of impact these words had on Han Qishan and Shi Qingzhi.
The old lady could no longer hold back her tears and burst into tears: "Xiaoru, my poor daughter..."
She couldn't even imagine what the eighteen-year-old girl had to go through when she was alone facing a group of vicious human traffickers and had to resort to such a desperate attempt to escape by jumping into the river.
Jiang Fuyue couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes turned red.
If Han Yunru didn't have that kind of courage back then and instead allowed herself to be slaughtered by those human traffickers, there would be no her today, and no Jiang Xiaodi either.
She might be wearing cool clothes in a small hair salon in the red-light district, welcoming and seeing off customers; or she might become a pile of bones in an unknown public toilet with no one to collect them; or a broker delivering or selling drugs; or a hostess working in a bar, etc.
"dad?!"
With Han Shen's exclamation, Han Qishan fell backward uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Qin Yuanchen immediately threw away his crutches, dragged his not-so-convenient legs forward, and worked together with Han Shen to support him.
"Quick! Get medicine for your dad!"
Han Shen finally reacted and began to frantically look for medicine on the old man.
During this period, Han Qishan's breathing became more and more rapid, his face turned pale due to lack of oxygen, and his originally rosy lips were covered with a layer of black bruises.
“…Found it!”
Qin Yuanchen pried open his mouth and Han Shen stuffed the medicine in.
"Dad! Swallow it!"
Han Qishan then moved his Adam's apple and the pill slid into his esophagus.
It took a full three minutes for his breathing to become steady.
Qin Yuanchen: "Quick! Call 120!"
…
The flight took off on time, but Han Qishan and Han Shen were not on board, let alone Han Yunru.
At that time, a group of people moved from outside the airport to the hospital ward.
After the rescue, Han Qishan was out of danger and fell into a coma.
In the corridor.
Han Yunru and Shi Qingzhi stood face to face, one staring silently, the other with tears in her eyes.
"Xiaoru...I'm sorry, Mom couldn't find you in time..."
Having said this, he was already sobbing.
The old lady didn't even dare to ask for forgiveness. Her Xiaoru had suffered too much, and it couldn't be soothed by just a simple "I'm sorry".
"I……"
Suddenly, a soft touch came on her shoulder. The old lady looked up in a trance and saw that the mother and daughter, who were originally some distance away, were now very close to each other.
Similar peach blossom eyes, gazes meet, unique blood ties pull silently.
"Mom..." Han Yunru finally spoke first, "I don't blame you."
The old lady's lips trembled: "No...you should blame me."
"It's all over. I'm fine now."
Only then did the old lady dare to look at her carefully and seriously. Her face was rosy, her skin was fair, and there was a hint of tenderness and tranquility between her eyebrows.
At first glance, you can tell that she is cherished and loved, and has never been wronged.
"Is he good to you?"
Han Yunru smiled and nodded. "His name is Jiang Da. He looks rough, but he's actually very meticulous. Also, his cooking is delicious. You should definitely try it if you get a chance."
The old lady saw that there was no reluctance on her face. When she mentioned Jiang Da, her eyes seemed to sparkle, and her heart was relieved immediately.
"Well, I've never eaten a meal cooked by my son-in-law in my life."
"Mom," Han Yunru's eyes sparkled, "You and Uncle Qin...you?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across the old lady's face. "After divorcing Han...your father, I quit my job at the university and started looking for you while also starting my own business. At the time, even your grandfather didn't support my decision, but it was your Uncle Qin who stayed by my side."
"On a business trip, I was caught in a mudslide and was buried. He led the search and rescue team to dig me out from the ground. I remember it rained heavily that day, and the second mudslide came suddenly. He protected me firmly under his body and I was completely unharmed, but he lost his right leg."
"Then we got married."
