Chapter 159 Jinjiang Debut
"I'm sorry, your daughter has been reincarnated." Bai Mian said softly.
"Ah?" The woman opened her mouth wide. "Are you saying my daughter is dead?!"
"That's right," Bai Mian nodded, "You abandoned her there, and she cried for half an hour, then a stray dog found her and took her away. She became the dog's meal."
The woman's face turned blue and red. Her feet softened and she slid to the ground. The man next to her stood up and roared, "Since the person is already dead, why didn't you tell us earlier? You've gone through so much trouble with us, and you still make us listen to your nonsense. What a waste of time!"
As he spoke, the man pulled the woman's arm, trying to pull her away, but the woman lay on the ground and refused to leave. She still held out a glimmer of hope, and asked Bai Mian unwillingly: "Master, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? My neighbor clearly said that he saw a woman who looked exactly like my son..."
Bai Mian interrupted her: "That woman just looks a bit like your son. It's just a coincidence. Your neighbor is exaggerating."
The woman lowered her head in frustration. "So, it was this damned old Wang who deceived me. They only resembled each other a little bit, but he said they were exactly the same. I knew it! He is a person who always talks nonsense. He never says anything serious. How could I believe him!"
After scolding her neighbor, the woman said, "But, but what should we do now... We were defrauded of 200,000 yuan, which is all our savings... There is no hope of finding our daughter, 200,000 yuan... Master, is it possible to get our 200,000 yuan back?"
Bai Mian spread his hands helplessly: "If the police can't do it, there's nothing I can do."
The woman felt dizzy and said, "It's all over now. I've lost my money and my life. How can I face my son when I go back? We still have a mortgage to pay off. Now that this has happened, even next month's mortgage will be a problem. What's the point of me living?"
The man wrinkled his nose impatiently, lowered his head and scolded, "Come on, stop embarrassing yourself here, come with me, there are so many people watching us! I told you not to make such a fuss, but you insisted on doing this. Looking for your daughter, what are you looking for? Let me tell you, the money-loser you gave birth to died a long time ago. How could she survive in the wilderness? Unless the Bodhisattva shows up! It's all your fault that our family is in this state now, I'll beat you to death when I get home!"
As the man spoke, he used all his strength to drag the woman lying on the ground away. The woman kept refusing to get up and wiped the floor of the store with her clothes. After they left, everyone around them sighed.
"Tsk tsk tsk, if I hadn't seen them with my own eyes today, I really wouldn't believe that there are such cruel parents in the world!"
"That's right. They were willing to throw away one of the twins. That's a human life!"
"The master said that the little girl has been reincarnated. I really don't feel satisfied. I hope the little girl becomes a ghost and takes revenge on the couple!"
"Oh, if abandoned babies can really turn into evil spirits, then I don't know how many parents in the country will be avenged!"
"But looking at their condition, their second half of life will not be easy. Their savings were defrauded, and their son is useless. He will probably depend on them for the rest of his life. This couple is in their seventies and eighties and still have to support their son. Life is worse than death!"
"By then, we will not only have sons, but maybe even grandsons. Don't these two people love to have boys? Then I wish they will have more boys, the more the better!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter. Seeing that it was time for lunch break, Weng Xuhua politely asked everyone to leave and closed the shop.
"What a poor girl, she was abandoned right after she was born, and then eaten by wild dogs..."
Xia Mang's thoughts were still lingering on the case just now, and her eyes were full of sadness.
Bai Mian lowered her head and tidied up the table, smiling but saying nothing. In fact, this was not the truth of the matter. She lied to the couple. This was the first time she lied to her client since she came to the world.
After the girl was abandoned in the mountains, she did cry for a long time, and there were indeed wild dogs around her, but fortunately her voice was loud and attracted a nearby climber. The climber had just gotten married, and he and his wife were unable to have children, so they planned to adopt a child. At this time, he met the baby girl, whose face was covered with ants. The climber felt pity for her and thought that this was a fate sent by heaven, so he took the girl home and named her Yunxiao.
When Yunxiao was brought home, her adoptive father was starting a business. He opened the first logistics company in the country in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Now, more than 20 years have passed, and her adoptive father has become a well-known entrepreneur. That small logistics company has become the nationally famous Yun Logistics Group, and Yunxiao has become the daughter of the Yun Group.
Therefore, the couple’s neighbor was not wrong. The woman he saw in Guangzhou-Shenzhen City was indeed the baby girl abandoned by the couple many years ago, but for Yunxiao’s sake, Bai Mian lied.
If he told the truth, Yunxiao would naturally not be happy with the couple if they came to his door. But people like them were like flies, so it was better not to get involved with them. Once he got involved with them, they would definitely cause trouble to Yunxiao. When they failed to get money, they would go online to discredit Yunxiao's reputation. Instead of doing that, it would be better to hide Yunxiao's identity from them from the beginning.
Anyway, their daughter was indeed dead, and Yun Xiao is now the daughter of the Yun Group, and has nothing to do with them.
Xia Mang did not notice Bai Mian's micro-expression. She was sad for a while and then her attention was attracted by the fragrance in the kitchen. Gao Jin opened the lid and stewed two fish in the pot. The fish soup was stewed into a milky white color and sprinkled with some chopped green onions and coriander, which looked particularly appetizing.
"Oh my, I'm starving," Weng Xuhua walked over, rubbing his stomach. "There were so many patients this morning. I was exhausted. My stomach kept growling."
Gao Jin looked at him distressedly and said, "If you are too busy, don't take so many patients. You are not young anymore. You can't always compare yourself with your younger self."
Weng Xuhua smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay, don't worry, I'm in good health!"
Gao Jin was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Old man, when will you retire?"
Weng Xuhua was startled and immediately became serious: "What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly talking about this? Are you... sick?"
As he spoke, Weng Xuhua reached out and took Gao Jin's pulse. After a moment, he said doubtfully, "No, the pulse is normal. Old woman, what happened to you?"
Gao Jin pulled his hand away in dissatisfaction, curled his lips and said, "You really don't understand what I'm thinking at all. I'm not sick, I just want to rest for a while. Think about it, we have been busy since we got married, busy curing diseases and saving lives, busy saving money, busy looking for children, and we have never rested."
After Gao Jin said this, Weng Xuhua immediately understood, his face full of shame. Gao Jin continued, "Old man, I'm not complaining to you, I really feel sorry for you. We have lived in Qingshui Town all our lives and have never gone out to travel. Isn't it a pity? Before, when our daughter was not found, we felt sad and had no mood to travel. Moreover, at that time, the income was low and there was no money to travel. Now, thanks to Mianmian, our daughter has been found and the shop has money. Shouldn't we go out and have a look? What's the point of making money if we can't enjoy it?"
After hearing this, Yinyin at the dinner table also raised her head and said, "Dad, Mom is right. It's all my fault. Because of me, you have wasted half your life. I am unfilial. Now that I am back, I should be the one to support the family. I really can't bear to see you and mom so busy. My Roujiamo business is very good recently. Everyone came here to watch the live broadcast and supports me very much. Even if you close the business for a while, my income alone is enough for the family!"
Lame brother also advised: "Boss, you should take your wife out to play for a few days. To be honest, in life, who knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident? While you are all healthy, rich and free, go out and see the beautiful scenery. The store is supported by me and the little god of wealth. That's enough."
Xia Mang also chimed in: "Yes, now many tourist attractions have discounts for the elderly. If you don't want to make a plan, you can also join a group tour, such as a honeymoon trip for couples, a golden wedding anniversary trip..."
Although everyone was helping to give advice, Weng Xuhua remained silent. After everyone finished speaking, he spoke in a low voice: "Old lady, I want to say sorry to you. I can't agree to your request. The store is so busy now, and there are so many patients coming every day. How can I rest? I really can't let go of these patients. How about this, I stay in the store, and you and your daughter go on a trip, which can be regarded as fulfilling your wish."
Gao Jin was not happy: "I want to travel with you. If you don't go, what's the point of me going alone?"
After saying this, no one spoke at the dinner table. Everyone could see that Gao Jin was a little sad, but no one could persuade the stubborn Weng Xuhua. Everyone knew that he was a workaholic.
In such an atmosphere, the delicious fish soup also lost its taste. Gao Jin went back to her room to wipe her tears as soon as she finished her meal. Weng Xuhua stayed alone in the kitchen to wash the pot, and everyone else went back to their respective rooms to take a nap.
Bai Mian was lying on the bed, looking through the comments section of the live broadcast, and saw a message from Chen Xinyu——
"Master, you are right! My mother woke up as soon as Aunt Gu entered the ward. Now she can walk and talk. Even the doctor said that her recovery speed is the fastest in the hospital. However, her hands are still shaking a little, and she needs someone to feed her. I was going to feed her, but Aunt Gu snatched the spoon away. She insisted on feeding my mother with her own hands. My mother ate this meal with relish. This is the most she has eaten since she was admitted to the hospital. The doctor said that if things continue like this, my mother will be able to be discharged soon!"
"By the way, we have discussed it. After my mother is discharged from the hospital, I plan to send her to the Senior Citizens University to let her learn calligraphy and embroidery. This should be good for her brain. Aunt Gu will also go. In the Senior Citizens University, the two of them can be deskmates again. Master, thank you so much!"
After reading this comment, Bai Mian smiled knowingly, then put down her phone and fell asleep. She had a sweet and fragrant nap, and in her dream she seemed to see osmanthus flowers falling all over the sky.
After waking up from a nap, Bai Mian slowly walked down the stairs, made himself a cup of mint lotus leaf tea, then sat behind the pulse diagnosis table, waiting for the arrival of the third client.
