Chapter 223: Destined
"You...is your father your biological father?"
Yunli asked this question with some difficulty. In fact, she could just do a paternity test between Tianzhu and his father, and then the truth would be self-evident.
Alas, but driven by my inner desire, I still want to ask it myself...
Tianzhu looked surprised, then smiled and said, "Sister, did you figure it out?"
"Hmm? What did you see?"
"It turns out my dad isn't my real dad!"
Yunli: "..."
She finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not what she thought!
Then he continued, "He's not your biological father? Then can you tell me how your mother knew him?"
Tianzhu shook his head and sighed, "Sister, I don't know how Dad and Mom knew each other.
I only remember that one morning, my mother went out, and when she came back at noon, she brought my father back with her. He was unconscious at the time, and my mother fed him some water. When he woke up, he wanted to leave, but my mother wouldn't let him, so he stayed...."
Yun Li's eyes were dim and unclear, and she asked again: "How long ago did your mother bring him back?"
Tianzhu thought about it and said, "Well... probably more than two years!"
"Oh! What about your biological father?"
Tianzhu shook his head: "I have never seen my biological father. I grew up with my mother. My mother said that my father is dead..."
"All right……"
In the following conversation with Tianzhu, Yunli learned that her father had been living here for more than two years and had been relying on hunting in the mountains for a living. She couldn't help feeling distressed and wished she could find her father earlier.
She walked around the house and yard, and judging from the layout of the house, she guessed that her father most likely did not live with Tianzhu's mother, but why he let Tianzhu call him dad was debatable.
Given the current situation, Yunli decided not to return to Ancheng tonight. Her father would not wake up for a while, so she had to wait for Tianzhu's mother to wake up and understand the whole story before taking her father away.
In the evening, Tianzhu's mother finally woke up.
Tianzhu excitedly held his mother's hand and said, "Mom, you finally woke up!"
The woman on the bed pulled the corners of her mouth, a faint smile on her face, and when she saw Yun Li standing in the room, her eyes were full of questions.
"Zhu'er, who is this girl?"
"Oh, mother, I forgot to introduce you. This elder sister is the one who saved you. She is the one who cured your illness! She came with me from Ancheng specifically to treat you!"
"Thank you, doctor!" After saying that, he tried to prop himself up.
Yun Li walked over and helped her sit up. "You're welcome. You're still a little weak. You need to recuperate for a while!"
Tianzhu Niang suddenly leaned on the bed excitedly, looked at Yunli and said: "Doctor, can you please help take a look at my husband again? My husband has been in a coma for more than a year. Several doctors have examined him and he has taken a lot of medicine, but he just won't wake up!"
"I've already seen it!"
"Is he curable? Will he wake up?"
Yun Li didn't answer her, but turned to look at Tian Zhu: "Tian Zhu, can you cook? Make some porridge for your mother!"
"Sister, I know how to cook porridge! I'll go right away!"
"Well, remember to cook it until it's mushy!"
"Okay, I got it!"
Tianzhu went out, Yunli sat by the window, looked up and met Tianzhu's mother's eyes
Yun Li got straight to the point and asked, "How did you meet him? And why did he become your husband?"
These two questions surprised Tianzhu Niang. She stared at Yunli for a long time, wondering why she would ask such a question. She wondered if this had anything to do with curing the disease.
"What do you mean by asking this, young lady?"
Yun Li glanced at Tian Zhu Niang and said firmly: "She is my father! My biological father! So I must know!"
This answer shocked Tianzhu Niang. Her pupils dilated, her mouth opened wide, and she looked confused and at a loss.
After a long pause, she said, "What evidence do you have? He said he has no family in this world. Are you lying? What is your purpose in coming here?"
Hearing this, Yun Li couldn't help but smile, and pretended to reach into her sleeve to take out a family photo from the space.
This was a photo she had printed out on her computer some time ago. It was a photo of their family of four, taken when she and her brother were children, but her father and mother's appearance had not changed much.
Yun Li showed the photo to Tian Zhu Niang, pointed at the people on it and said, "This is my father, and this is my mother!"
Tianzhu Niang looked at the man and woman in the photo. The man was full of vigor and vitality, with a gentle smile, neat short hair, and the clothes he wore were something she had never seen before.
It was just like when she saw him that year. Her memory went back to two years ago when she saw him in a big pit in the mountains. He seemed to be wearing such strange clothes and his hair was the same. He was handsome and big! But she had never seen such a smile before.
…
Yun Li watched her lost in memories and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, how did you meet my father, and how did he become Tian Zhu's father?"
"Two years ago, I was collecting herbs in the mountains and met him in a pit. He was unconscious and had many scratches on his body. There were wild animals in the mountains at night. I felt sorry for not saving him, so I took him down the mountain. He woke up at night.
He kept saying he had a headache, woke up for a while, and then fainted again. The next day, when he woke up, he asked me where he was and who he was. I learned from him that he had forgotten his own name, where his home was, or where he came from.
I began to have the idea of wanting to keep him, so I lied to him, saying that this was his home, Tianzhu was his child, and I was his wife.
He didn't believe me at first, but I told him stories every day, hoping he would stay. One day, a bully came to the village and bullied the villagers. He stood up and drove the bully away, but he was also injured. Maybe he felt sorry for us orphans and widows, so he never said he would leave again.
Since then, his headaches have become more and more severe, occurring from time to time. The most severe one was when he fainted from the pain, and he has never woken up since!
I am grateful to him in my heart, but I also know that it is wrong to do so. I selfishly lied to him. His arrival made the lives of us orphans and widows better. He often went hunting in the mountains and taught Tianzhu to read in his spare time.
His insights, knowledge, and the aura he exudes make me feel that he is not an ordinary person, so my desire to stay is getting stronger and stronger!"
Yunli frowned. She sneered at Tianzhu Niang's behavior. If she hadn't lied, maybe they would have met their father earlier.
After all, bombs were used in the war with Sangyou Kingdom, and Yueyanfang sells skin care products in both countries. My father is a businessman, so he must be highly sensitive to business information.
But it is undeniable that she is her father's savior. It was she who saved her father and brought him down from the mountain! She is still very grateful to Tianzhu Niang from the bottom of her heart!
