Chapter 234 She was abandoned
Zhuangzhuang's illness was confirmed, and his family members felt relieved.
In the next few days, Zhuangzhuang was basically fine and returned to his previous mischievous behavior.
The atmosphere in the ward didn't feel like being in the hospital. Apart from hanging two bottles of water every day, there was basically nothing to do at other times.
Just wait for the test results to come out, and you can be discharged from the hospital once all indicators recover.
Su Li appeared to be fine these days, but she was actually feeling unhappy inside.
The question of her own life experience was like a huge stone pressing on her heart, making her feel uncomfortable all the time.
She couldn't understand why the Su family was so good to her. It was already very curious that they loved their daughter more than their son.
Now that she knows she is not their biological child, she wants you to know the truth even more.
She was very conflicted. She wanted to ask, but was afraid of hurting her parents' feelings.
After Zhuangzhuang's condition stabilized, Su Danian and Liu Guilan went home early. It was not a big deal for the whole family to stay in the hospital.
Before leaving, Su Danian was still worried that his daughter might be reluctant to spend money in the provincial capital, so he secretly stuffed a hundred yuan into her hand.
You know, this was the pension money for the old couple, and they originally wanted to use it to save their grandson's life.
Now that he saw that his grandson was fine and his daughter had lost weight, he stuffed the money into Su Li's hand.
Su Li was already confused about how to start the conversation, and she was even more speechless when she saw the money in her hand.
The night before Zhuangzhuang was discharged from the hospital, Su Li asked Li Mo to take Wen Yu out for a walk.
He deliberately sent Wen Yu away just to resolve the doubts that had been lingering in his mind for many days.
After Zhuangzhuang fell asleep, Su Li directly pulled Su Mingde to sit down.
She believed her brother knew about it.
Su Mingde was pulled to sit down by her and said with a smile: "You seem to be worried all night, do you want to go home?"
Su Li shook her head. "Brother, there's something I've been holding in my heart for many days. I hope you can tell me the truth."
Su Mingde was stunned for a moment. "No wonder you looked down these past few days. I thought you were weak and hadn't recovered from the blood transfusion. Ask me anything. I promise I'll tell you everything I know."
Su Li took a deep breath, as if she had mustered up all her courage.
She looked at Su Mingde and said directly, "Brother, I know I am not my parents' biological child. My blood type doesn't match."
She stared at Su Mingde with burning eyes, not missing any slight change in his facial expression.
The enamel teacup in Su Mingde's hand fell to the ground with a clang, bounced twice, and rolled to the side.
The smile on Su Mingde's face gradually stiffened and then disappeared bit by bit.
"Xiao Li, what...what are you talking about?"
Su Mingde's voice trembled violently, and his eyes were filled with unconcealable shock and panic.
He stood up suddenly, and the chair fell to the ground with a dull sound.
Su Li's heart sank as well. Her brother's reaction said it all.
She spoke slowly and firmly, "I know everything. My blood type doesn't match my parents'."
"When Zhuangzhuang was sick this time, you stopped me from taking the blood test because you were afraid I would know, right?"
"But this time, it seemed destined that God wanted me to know, so even though you didn't let the nurse say more, I still heard it."
Su Li's voice was very soft, and there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth when she spoke slowly.
Su Mingde opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't make a sound.
"Brother, tell me, what is going on?"
Su Li tried her best to calm herself, but the redness at the corners of her eyes could not be hidden.
She could only try hard to control her emotions and not let her tears flow.
Su Mingde's lips trembled a few times, and he finally found his voice.
"Xiao Li, you..."
He slowly sat back in his chair, knowing that he couldn't hide it this time.
The secret that had been kept for more than 20 years could no longer be kept this time.
When Su Li was three years old, Su Mingde took her out to play, and some people said that she was picked up.
Because of this incident, Su Mingde even had a fight with his classmates because his parents told him to protect his sister, who would be sad if she knew she was the one who picked it up.
After deciding to adopt his sister, Su Danian went door to door giving gifts to families, saying how pitiful the child was and that she would be his own daughter in the future, and hoped that the neighbors would stop saying that she was picked up.
Su Mingde remembers these things very clearly.
Su Li saw Su Mingde lowering his head and not speaking, and her voice choked a little, "Brother, tell me, I just want to know the truth."
Su Li walked to Su Mingde and gently patted her brother's shoulder.
Su Mingde took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Xiao Li, I know this matter... your parents have been hiding it from you... In fact, we don't want to make you sad, and we don't want you to feel burdened."
"I was five years old at that time, and you were probably less than two years old."
Su Mingde's voice was low and intermittent, as if he was recalling something from long ago.
Su Li held her breath and listened carefully to her brother's words, afraid of missing any word.
"That day was my fifth birthday, and my parents took me to People's Park... to see the elephants..."
Su Mingde's thoughts went back to more than 20 years ago following his own voice.
In those days, going to the zoo to see elephants was a great pleasure for children.
He stayed in the park until it was almost closing time and was reluctant to leave.
When they came out of the park, there were no people at the gate. They were happily preparing to go home, but they saw a little girl standing alone at the zoo gate crying.
"When I remember it, it was already getting late and we were almost gone. My parents felt sorry for you being alone, so they spoke to you."
"I don't remember what we said, but I remember your face was dirty from crying. You must have been crying for quite a while."
There was a hint of bitterness of memories in Su Mingde's voice.
He seemed to see that small figure, helpless and pitiful.
Su Li's eyes became even redder. It turned out that she was picked up.
"I don't remember many of the details clearly, but then your parents brought you home."
Su Mingde looked at Su Li, his eyes full of pity.
Su Li wiped her tears and choked up, "So, it's very likely that I was... abandoned?"
Su Mingde sighed, "After bringing you home, Dad went to the police station the next day, hoping that the police would help you find your family. Even after so many years, Dad has not given up on helping you find your family, but there has been no news."
Su Li's heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by a big hand. She had thought of many possibilities in the past few days. The Su family treated her so well. Maybe they bought her, or maybe they adopted her from somewhere. But she never thought that she was abandoned.
She bit her lips tightly and half-closed her eyes.
Su Mingde didn't say anything else, and the brother and sister fell into silence.
