[Missing? Was he kidnapped?]
[Or was she abandoned by her family? This situation hardly exists now, but ten years ago, losing a baby girl was not uncommon at all. Almost every family prioritized having a boy, believing that a boy could carry on the family line, and looked down on girls.]
[Have you called the police? Missing persons, please contact the police!]
[Amazing! He's been missing for ten years, and you're only looking for him now? I give up! Where did he go before? He's already lost his temper.]
If they favored boys over girls, why didn't they abandon her earlier? Why wait until she was 17? Wouldn't it be like raising her for 17 years in vain? I suspect she was sold.
…
Hearing the accusations from netizens, He Chao hurried to explain.
"I've always wanted to find one, but my family was so poor before. We barely had enough to eat and didn't even have money to leave the village. Plus, my dad wouldn't let me look for one."
Sometimes he couldn't understand what his father was thinking.
Why has his daughter been missing for ten years and never thought of looking for her? And every time he cried and said he wanted to go find his sister, his father would get angry and beat him up.
He also told himself not to mention his sister's name. In fact, he sometimes wondered if his sister had been sold by them?
But his dad was pretty nice to him and he didn't believe he was that kind of person at all.
"Alas, the reason I came to see Master Qi this time was because I mustered up the courage to do it secretly. If my dad knew, he would definitely beat me up."
What kind of parents are these? Their own daughter is missing, but they're not worried at all and don't even allow their son to look for her?
[Maybe I'm too dark-minded. To be honest, I suspect there's something wrong with your parents.]
"Yeah, what parents are like that? My mom texts me non-stop if she hasn't seen me for a day. Sometimes when I'm working, they call three or four times a day asking about everything, even what I had for dinner."
…
Qi Ling's face turned strange when she heard his words. She asked again, "My dear sister?"
He Chao nodded: "Yes, she is my biological sister? Is there any problem?"
Qi Ling said: "Are you sure? Judging from your face, you don't have any brothers or sisters, so the sister you are talking about is not your biological sister."
He Chao was shocked. He widened his eyes in disbelief: "How is this possible?"
This is ridiculous! He always thought that was his biological sister, but it turned out that she wasn't? If she wasn't, why did his father adopt her?
He suddenly realized that maybe his father didn't tell him the truth because he was afraid that he would be sad. Maybe his sister abandoned their family because she found her biological parents?
The father was too disappointed to mention his daughter.
Thinking of this situation, he quickly asked, "Could it be that the reason why my father didn't look for her is because he knew she had returned to her biological parents?"
But this is a good thing! Why didn't you tell him? Is it because his sister's family is rich and looks down on his family because they are poor?
And then you're afraid that he'll be sad because of this? But that's not right!
Qi Ling shook her head: "I'm not sure. Do you have a photo of your sister? Or do you have a photo of your parents?"
He Chao shook his head and nodded. "I don't have any photos of my sister. We were very poor before, so we never had any photos taken. I only have photos of my father. I don't have any photos of my mother either. My father said that my mother died of a severe hemorrhage when she gave birth to me. I have never seen her."
Hearing his words, Qi Ling couldn't help but frowned: "Your father told you that your mother is dead?"
"Yes, isn't it? I've never seen her!"
There are only his father, grandparents and others in his family.
Speaking of this, he still felt a little strange. Although his father said that his mother was dead, he had never seen his mother's grave, and he did not go to worship her during the holidays.
When he asked to go to his mother's grave to pay his respects, his father just took him to a lonely grave with a strange look on his face.
The grave is very simple, just a big mound of earth, without even a tombstone, it is a completely nameless grave.
He always thought that his family was too poor and had no money to build a tombstone.
He also secretly saved money to build a tombstone for his mother, but was discovered by his father, who scolded him and confiscated all his money.
Not only that, even though their family has become rich over the years, I have never seen my father renovate my mother's grave.
He was the only one who went to the cemetery to pay homage during festivals and to clear the weeds.
He kept scratching his head in confusion.
Qi Ling said decisively: "Judging from your face, both your parents are alive, so your mother must not be dead."
"??? Huh? Is this true? My mom is still alive?"
He Chao felt so overwhelmed with joy that he didn't even care that his original purpose in looking for Qi Ling was to inquire about his missing sister.
He hurriedly asked, "Then why did my dad say such nonsense? Where is my mom? Is she doing well? Why has she never come to see me in all these years?"
"Could it be that my mother ran away with someone else because she disliked my family being too poor?"
Because he heard that other uncles' wives in the village often ran away secretly, he was afraid that his mother would be the same.
Thinking of this reason, he felt a little sad. When he was young, he also longed for maternal love, but unfortunately he never had it.
Even though he was 25 years old, he had never experienced what maternal love was. Every time he saw other children with their mothers by their side, he was envious.
How could that be possible? What mother doesn't love her child? Even if she left, there must have been other reasons.
[Yes, and I always feel that your village is weird.]
