Chapter 110 The main text is finished. Promote the orthodoxy of the Shen family and spread traditional Chinese medicine...
After hearing Gao Huifen's explanation, Mrs. He's face changed.
Throwing the paternity test reports on the ground, Mrs. He raised her voice an octave higher: "So, you want to replace my daughter just to make her life better and to get rid of the name of 'bastard'?"
"Gao Huifen, have Lao He and I treated you badly? Even if you gave birth to the child by yourself, did we make your life difficult?!"
"Twenty-seven years, twenty-seven years! If you are devoted to my daughter, I will never say anything, but ask yourself, have you ever been a 'mother' for a day?!"
Mrs. He was of course angry that Gao Huifen had changed her two children, but what made her even angrier was that in the past twenty years or so, she had been mistreating her own children and making Gao Zhiwan live in inferiority.
She was angry about the child.
She could understand a mother's desire for her daughter to have a better life, but she could not understand why she would treat her daughter so harshly after she had brought her daughter to live with her?
As a mother herself, Mrs. He did not expect her to get 100 points, but this failing test paper was too outrageous!
Ask yourself, I have treated Gao Huifen well, allowing her and her child to live under the same roof with them, helping her solve the child's household registration and schooling problems, and even giving her a sum of money for her retirement...
Why couldn't she be a little bit nicer to her daughter, to Gao Zhiwan? Even if she loved her a little bit more, it would be fine.
Do you really have to make Gao Zhiwan a child who is born by a mother but not loved by her?
When Mrs. He thought of the suffering Gao Zhiwan had endured over the years and how Gao Huifen knew the truth but still deliberately hurt her daughter, her heart ached.
She never imagined that her good intentions would lead to the creation of a heartless ungrateful person, causing her own daughter to suffer for more than 20 years.
If I could start over again, if I could go back to that morning when we met again in the hospital...
Seeing that Mrs. He looked unhappy, Gao Zhiwan quickly helped her out, fearing that the ensuing confrontation would cause her a more serious blow.
"Man, Manru..."
After Mrs. He was helped out, Gao Huifen timidly called out He Manru's name.
Now that the truth has come to light, Gao Huifen is very scared, but at the same time, the huge rock hanging in her heart has finally fallen, and she can finally face her mother as a mother.
He Manru had just raised her foot when she was immediately stopped by her dry but gentle voice.
He Manru couldn't leave, nor could she look her in the face. She could only stand there and wait for her to say the next word.
She tried to calm down and keep her heart rate steady. After a long while, she whispered, "I'm sorry."
He Manru frowned slightly, turned her head and asked her: "Why?"
"Mom doesn't want you to be criticized by others. I hope you can have a bright future. Mom doesn't have the ability to give you a decent home, so I can only send you to someone else's home..." Gao Huifen explained.
After a few seconds of pausing, she quickly added, "But I've always been thinking about you. Even if I let you be someone else's daughter for more than 20 years, I've grown up with you and walked the flowery road with you."
He Manru thought she would say something to repent, but it turned out that she had overestimated her.
Gao Huifen felt that she was wrong. She was wrong for sending her own daughter to another family, she was wrong for not accompanying her as a mother while she grew up, and she was wrong for hiding this secret for more than 20 years.
But she felt that all her mistakes were forgivable.
She sent her daughter to another family, but if she had not exchanged their lives, He Manru would not have lived a life like a little princess, nor would she have had a happy family, and would not have realized her dream.
Therefore, Gao Huifen did not feel that she had committed any unforgivable mistake.
Having said that, even though she never revealed her identity as a mother, it did not reduce her love and care for her. From childhood to adulthood, she gave her the most precious love.
Just like every performance of He Manru, she would stand in the position closest to her. Even though she is a fan, her love and admiration comes from her mother.
Seeing the desire for a mother-daughter reunion in her eyes, He Manru shook her head in disappointment, "You don't even know where you went wrong. The person you need to say sorry to is not me, but Wanwan! She is my biological daughter!"
He Manru inherited Gao Huifen's voice and her dream, but not her selfish heart.
He Manru's life now should have belonged to Gao Zhiwan.
If Gao Huifen had not switched jobs back then, perhaps Gao Zhiwan would have become a painter or a lawyer. In short, it would have been impossible for him to work so hard in a shopping mall just for a thousand yuan a month.
Gao Huifen should say sorry to Gao Zhiwan, because she ruined Gao Zhiwan's life.
It was she who caused Gao Zhiwan to lose the love of her parents, caused Gao Zhiwan to have to take the entrance exam to Henan University, and even almost caused Gao Zhiwan to marry a man she didn't like...
He Manru felt ashamed when she thought that her current glory was stolen from Gao Zhiwan.
She had been wishing that Gao Huifen would admit her mistake and regret her actions, but now it seems that she had overestimated this woman who called herself "mother".
Since she was capable of such a criminal act as swapping children, how could she feel that she was wrong?
Think about her attitude towards Gao Zhiwan, think about the tone she used to suppress Gao Zhiwan... He Manru even felt that she was deliberately venting her jealousy.
She envied Mrs. He's family and her life, but could not show it, so she vented all her shameful emotions on Mrs. He's biological daughter.
Since I can't compete with her in this life, I let my daughter surpass her daughter. If she has such dark thoughts, it's really disgusting!
Gao Huifen's expression froze. "I, I treated her very well. I worked very hard to raise her, sent her to school, and took care of her eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating. I..."
Indeed, she had no idea she was wrong.
He Manru didn't want to listen to her excuses anymore, so she covered her ears and ran out of the ward.
On the bench in the corridor, Mrs. He and Gao Zhiwan hugged each other and cried bitterly, their arms entwined with each other, and each of their falling tears was a reflection of the regrets and sufferings they had experienced over the years.
Mrs. He regretted that she had not recognized her earlier. Gao Zhiwan's personality was very similar to hers, and her tastes were the same. However...
The pain of living together for more than 20 years but not being able to recognize each other was the most unbearable. When Mrs. He thought about how she had seen Gao Huifen slap her hands and punish her to stand in the corner many times, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
Kochi Wan's tears were mostly of joy and relief.
She had envied He Manru since she was a child and had always hoped to feel the love of Mrs. He like He Manru.
Gao Zhiwan had only seen the scene of a loving mother and a filial daughter in her dreams before, and she never thought that one day her dream would actually come true.
It was a little late, but the important thing was that she finally returned to her mother's arms.
Looking at them hugging each other, He Manru felt a little at a loss as to what to do.
She was not a child of the He family, but a fake daughter swapped by Gao Huifen. Seeing her good sister who grew up with her return to her mother, He Manru was sincerely happy for her, but she could not celebrate for her.
Because she did not belong to the He family, she was the one who "stole" the life that should have belonged to Gao Zhiwan. As the daughter of a criminal, He Manru felt only shame in front of them.
She should have left so as not to disturb the joy of their mother-daughter reunion.
"Manru."
Realizing that He Manru, who had just come out of the ward, was about to leave, Gao Zhiwan quickly called her, "Where are you going?"
"I, uh, I..." He Manru hadn't made up an excuse yet.
Wiping the tears from her face, Mrs. He turned around and called her over: "Come, come and sit down."
He Manru's behavior was a little awkward. She had never been so nervous since she was a child. Because of her parents' love, she could do whatever she wanted without any scruples. But now...
When she sat next to Mrs. He, Mrs. He took her hand and put Gao Zhiwan's hand together with hers.
Mrs. He saw what He Manru was thinking, so she said to her gently, "Manru, no matter what, you will always be my child and my most beloved daughter."
After all, she is the daughter whom he has loved since childhood. Even though she is not his biological daughter, his love for her is real.
Of course she was happy that her biological daughter had returned, but she also didn't want to lose the other daughter whom she had raised.
"mom……"
Mrs. He's words made He Manru's eyes wet all of a sudden.
The three of them hugged each other tightly. Even though their hearts were hurt by the ugly truth, the warmth of hugging each other was gradually healing the wounds in their hearts.
So, after the pain, Mrs. He was actually more happy.
She was glad that God told her the truth, and glad that from today on, she had another considerate daughter.
After wiping the tears from her face, Gao Zhiwan faintly heard the crying sounds coming from the ward.
Although they were all crying, the three of them, mother and daughter, were happy and joyful, while Gao Huifen, who was separated by a wall, was in pain and sadness.
Recalling Gao Huifen's so-called "maternal love" over the past twenty years, Gao Zhiwan asked Mrs. He: "Mom, what should we do in the future?"
After saying that, He Manru on the other side also looked up at her.
"Leave it to me, you don't have to worry about it," Mrs. He hugged her two daughters tighter, "From now on, no one can separate the three of us!"
Mrs. He took Gao Huifen to court.
Considering that she had not made any serious mistake, Mrs. He paid for her medical treatment in the hospital and allowed her to rest in the hospital for another month. This was her last kindness and the last calm before the storm.
She made Gao Zhiwan, oh no, it was He Zhiwan who suffered so much. Not only did she lose the life that originally belonged to her, but she also lost the right to call him dad and be loved by him.
So, Mrs. He would not let her go.
Healing her wounds and saving her life is to allow her to bear the punishment for a long time.
Exchanging two children may sound like just a few simple words, but it constitutes the crime of human trafficking, which is punishable by at least five years in prison. In addition, He Zhiwan was abducted at birth, which makes the crime even more serious, and the sentence starts at ten years.
Mrs. He did not show any mercy and hired the best lawyer to argue the case in court. She also put in a lot of effort behind the scenes, and ultimately got Gao Huifen a 15-year prison sentence and three years of probation.
Although she survived the last car accident, her right leg was disabled and her physical condition is not very good. She is afraid that she will have to spend the rest of her painful life in prison.
"Madam, Madam...can I see Manru again?"
Gao Huifen's body had not fully recovered yet, but in order to see her biological daughter again, she still knelt on the ground tremblingly and asked Mrs. He in a hoarse voice.
When the court opened, Mrs. He did not allow He Manru and He Zhiwan to attend.
They were too young, and as a mother, it was her responsibility to protect them from such embarrassing situations.
Having known each other for more than 20 years, Mrs. He knows Gao Huifen too well.
She knew that in order to achieve her goal, Gao Huifen would once again resort to the trick of "crying, making a fuss, and threatening to commit suicide" in front of the children to force them to be soft-hearted.
He Manru and He Zhiwan are both good kids and would definitely not be able to deal with such a situation, so she simply didn't let them come, completely eliminating Gao Huifen's opportunity to act.
She stopped and when she heard the sound of someone kneeling down behind her, Mrs. He did not say anything, but took a deep breath.
"Gao Huifen, until now, you have only been thinking about your daughter. Have you ever felt the slightest bit of apology towards Zhiwan? Even if you never loved her, you have at least raised her for more than 20 years. Isn't she your daughter?"
Gao Huifen opened her mouth to explain, but no sound came out of her throat.
Throughout her life, she only had He Manru in her heart.
He Manru is not only her daughter, but also carries the ideals that she was unable to realize when she was young. Therefore, no matter how obedient and filial Gao Zhiwan is, Gao Huifen never really treats her as a daughter.
In her eyes, Gao Zhiwan was more like a step. Only by stepping on her could she get closer to her daughter.
Little did she know that her abnormal dedication would also make her lose the ability to be loved.
Gao Zhiwanhui, who knew the truth, hated her. He Manru, who knew her character, also found it difficult to accept that she had such a... mother.
Mrs. He was very satisfied with the verdict today, so she didn't want to cry. After trying hard to hold back her tears, she still turned her back to Gao Huifen and said coldly: "Manru is living with Wanwan now. If you want to see her, go to her apartment door and kneel down to see if she is willing to see you."
Gao Huifen, who had fallen into the abyss, seemed to see a ray of hope, "Really, really?"
"certainly."
*
"...It's fake." Yao Heng said lightly while eating the apple in his hand, "Aunt He is not that soft-hearted. She just wanted to give her another blow before she goes to jail."
For twenty-seven years, even though the court had made a judgment and punished Gao Huifen, Zheng Rou could not forgive her.
Gao Huifen had nothing to begin with, so any amount of material punishment would be too light in Zheng Rou's opinion. She should be given a heavy blow to her heart, so that she would live with regret and pain for the rest of her life.
Zheng Rou allowed Gao Huifen to go find He Manru, but as she said, she was only allowed to kneel down and beg for an audience, followed by several bodyguards, who would immediately take her away if she tried to act dishonestly.
Dragging her still-unhealed body, Gao Huifen knelt outside the door for three whole days.
In order to get the person inside to open the door, she cried, shouted, and expressed her helplessness and helplessness... Several times, she heard the person in the room walking to the door, but just when she was full of hope that He Manru could open the door, the footsteps went away again.
Three days later, her body could no longer support her and she was sent to the hospital again. After she recovered from the hospital, she had no chance to visit He Manru again, but was sent directly to the detention center.
Shen Miao was fascinated by what she heard. In order to make Yao Heng speak faster, she quickly handed him the peeled orange: "Go on, then what happened? Why didn't Man Ru open the door at that time? Did they see each other later?"
"Definitely not," Yao Heng said calmly while eating a slice of sweet and sour orange, "I was accompanying Manru to perform in another city, and Wanwan was also out of the country. They were not in the apartment at all. There was a nanny arranged by Aunt He."
The truth was like a flood that broke through the dam, rushing into the originally peaceful life, but Zheng Rou, as a mother, was able to turn the tide and minimize the impact on her daughters as much as possible.
He Manru's career is booming and she is receiving more and more work. In order to allow her to adjust her state, Yao Heng, at the instruction of Zheng Rou, accepted many jobs in other places, so that she can forget the hurt caused by the truth by staying away from it.
As for He Zhiwan, because Gao Huifen had delayed many of her learning opportunities, she discussed with Zheng Rou and decided to study abroad to continue learning and improve herself.
Therefore, when Gao Huifen knelt outside the door with tears in her eyes and confessed her mistakes, He Manru and He Zhiwan were not at home. Not only did she not see her biological daughter for the last time before going to prison, but she will also continue to repent in prison with this regret.
"Stop chatting, hurry up and pack up, we'll be ready for business soon."
Outside, Shen Shansheng was looking for the scissors to cut the ribbon while urging Shen Miao who was chatting in the inner room.
"Hey, here it comes."
Shen Miao cleaned up the fruit peels on the table, straightened the wrinkles on her clothes, and replied.
Today is the opening day of Shen’s Medical Clinic.
After several months of hard work, we finally opened the store before the New Year of the Millennium.
There were quite a few people outside, all of them were old friends of the Shen family from various villages.
Although Qinghe Village was demolished and villagers from several villages moved to different places in the city, when they heard that Shen's Clinic was going to open today, they all came with flowers and gifts to congratulate.
The shabby little clinic in the village has now become a regular Chinese medicine clinic. Given the Shen family's reputation, it is expected to become the most popular clinic for patients in the future.
Not only the villagers from various villages came to congratulate, but also Luo Jialin who presented a red flag on behalf of the police station:
——Promote the Shen family's orthodoxy and pass on the essence of traditional Chinese medicine.
Although Shen Miao did not join the medical office of the police station, she had reached a cooperative relationship with the nearest Yellow River Branch some time ago, so that if there were any medical patients, they could be sent for diagnosis as soon as possible.
Accompanying Shen Shansheng to receive many people who came to congratulate him, Shen Miao’s face was almost frozen with laughter.
There was only half an hour left before the opening time, and Shen Miao subconsciously glanced in the direction of the guests, only to find that Shen Wanshan, who had just been chatting with the elders, was gone.
Finding the inner room from the outside, Shen Wanshan was lighting incense for Medicine King Bodhisattva, while muttering something.
"Master, the ribbon-cutting ceremony is coming up soon, it's time to get ready."
Inserting three incense sticks into the incense burner, Shen Wanshan said calmly: “You come to the ribbon-cutting today.”
“Me? Forget it. It’s not my turn anyway.” Shen Miao refused.
Cutting the ribbon is a big event and it should definitely be presided over by Shen Wanshan. If he feels tired, then he should let his father Shen Shansheng do it. It should never be the turn of a junior like her.
Standing up from the mat, Shen Wanshan sighed with relief, “I am old, and you are the only heir of our Shen family. You should take on the responsibility of our family’s reputation in the future.”
Shen Wanshan was very pleased that Shen Miao was able to pass the exam and open a medical clinic.
The new clinic means a new beginning, so naturally she, the "successor of the Shen family", should be the one to cut the ribbon.
As he spoke, Shen Wanshan lit three more incense sticks and asked Shen Miao to kowtow three times to Medicine King Bodhisattva, and at the same time broke the ruler that had been used to discipline her since she was a child in front of the Bodhisattva.
Looking at the broken ruler, Shen Miao heaved a sigh of relief, and then asked tentatively: “Then from now on in the clinic, do I have the final say?”
Shen Wanshan understood what she meant at once. Although he didn't have a ruler, he reached out and flicked her forehead. "Just treat the patient properly. If you ask for something else, I will still teach you a lesson. What do we doctors value? Helping others is not asking questions."
Shen Miao curled her lips, and the beautiful dream that had just begun to emerge was instantly extinguished.
It is true that being a doctor is about helping others, but if you think about it carefully, helping others and having fun are actually two things that are not contradictory.
It can not only solve the patient's pain, but also listen to some interesting gossip, isn't this a win-win situation?
At this time, Shen Wanshan said quietly again: “Ahem, of course, you can listen, just don’t spread it around.”
Shen Wanshan didn’t like Shen Miao’s gossip before, but now…
After hearing what he said, Shen Miao, who had just passed through a dark cloud, immediately turned sunny again, "Okay! I won't spread it, I definitely won't spread it!"
At ten o'clock in the morning, the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Shen's Medical Clinic officially began.
Standing in the middle of a group of people, when Shen Miao used the scissors in her hand to cut the red rope, the sounds of firecrackers and fireworks rang out all around.
Looking up at the sign of Shen's Medical Clinic, Shen Miao did not feel any pressure on her shoulders, but was full of yearning for the future.
It is said that a doctor's career is boring, but looking back on her journey, she also feels a lot of happiness. She likes to treat patients and even more likes to listen to some interesting gossip.
So now that she has a new beginning, she will definitely work harder in the future and strive to become an excellent doctor who "enjoys helping others"!
