Song Qiuya nodded gently: "Yes, but she was lost when she was very young."
This is a scar in her heart that she cannot mention. After the child was born, because it was a daughter, her mother-in-law and father-in-law were not particularly satisfied, so they made excuses not to take care of the child.
Her husband had to go back to work, so she had to take care of the children by herself. Her mother felt sorry for her and stayed with her for a while, but the family was busy with farming and her father was in poor health, so she had to leave reluctantly.
After her mother left, she had an even harder time. At noon that day, she was so sleepy that she couldn't hold on any longer, so she took a nap. When she woke up, the child in her arms was gone.
She searched the whole house, hoping that her mother-in-law had taken the child out to take care of him, but there was no one else at home. She called home again, and her mother-in-law said they had not come at all.
She called her husband back from working overtime at the company, and the two of them went from house to house in the village, asking everyone, but no one said they had seen anyone holding the child.
After the child was lost, her relationship with her husband plummeted. She complained that there was no one to help her husband at home, and her husband was dissatisfied with her for not taking care of the child carefully. The two lived a life of mutual respect, and their relationship only eased after she became pregnant again.
Over the years, she often thought of her lost daughter and prayed in her heart that her daughter was still alive.
When Zhang Suqin heard Su Yan asking about her granddaughter, she instantly became tough: "I said it has nothing to do with me. It's just a few blood pressure pills. Xiaotian had diarrhea and vomiting, and they were excreted from his body a long time ago. How could he be unconscious?
It turned out to be that damned girl. Even after all this, she still didn’t want to let our family go.”
Su Yan grasped the key words in her words: "Now that it's like this, Zhang Suqin, it seems that you know the whereabouts of your granddaughter. Why don't you tell me how she is doing?"
Zhang Suqin didn't expect Su Yan to be so perceptive. She looked at her husband's eyes that asked her to speak less and curled her lips: "I'm used to saying this. She's been missing for so many years, who knows how she is doing.
You helped me figure out the problem, and I thank you. Now we have no more questions, so please terminate our live broadcast."
Song Qiuya snatched the phone away. She knew her mother-in-law's temper well. It seemed that she must know something about the child's disappearance. If she didn't ask clearly today, she would never have another chance. "Master, I will send you my daughter's birth date and time now. Please help me solve my doubts."
Su Yan: "You should know that your mother-in-law is not satisfied with you. She thinks that with her son's looks, he will definitely find a good wife."
Song Qiuya nodded: "Yes, the first time I went to my husband's house, my mother-in-law basically ignored me. It was only because my husband kept poking her that she reluctantly said a few words to me.
At that time, I also thought about whether my family would be inharmonious if I got married to her, but I didn’t want to give up my relationship with my husband, so I thought about waiting and seeing. If I really couldn’t change my mother-in-law’s mind, I would reconsider my relationship with my husband.
Unexpectedly, half a year later, my mother-in-law suddenly asked us to go home for dinner, and her attitude towards me also changed a lot. She told me that the last time was a test for me to see if we really loved each other.
Although I thought her behavior was a little strange, I didn't delve into it further since I saw she was getting better."
Su Yan understood and continued, "During that six months, she had been looking for other girls and wanted your husband to go on blind dates without your knowledge.
Fortunately, your husband is sincere to you and has rejected your mother-in-law's suggestions many times."
Zhang Suqin still doesn't think there was anything wrong with her behavior. She said as a matter of course: "They weren't engaged at the time, so there was nothing wrong with me picking a few more families.
Besides, I've been very good to her since she married into our family. Are you trying to sow discord between our families by bringing this up now?"
Su Yan pretended she didn't exist: "The real reason your mother-in-law accepted you was because of the fortune she told on the mountain.
That day she went to burn incense with the villagers, and a Taoist priest stopped her and said he could tell her fortune.
Zhang Suqin was worried about her son's marriage, so she was naturally willing to help him solve the problem for free.
"Master, do you think my son and his current girlfriend are destined to be together?"
The Taoist stroked his beard and said, "Donor, your future daughter-in-law is a very blessed person. As long as you don't interfere and let them develop naturally, she will definitely bring prosperity to her husband and children."
"Your mother-in-law is a person who believes in fate. After listening to the Taoist priest and thinking that you can help their family, she agreed to her son's marriage with you.
After you got married, their lives really got better and better, especially when you got pregnant successfully a year later and you liked to eat sour food, she became even more convinced of the Taoist's words.
She thinks her grandson will become a successful person, maybe even an official, and she likes you even more."
Song Qiuya then understood why her mother-in-law's attitude changed so quickly, and why she burned incense and prayed for a boy more than once after she became pregnant. It turned out that she was waiting here.
"All this happiness came to an abrupt end when you gave birth to your daughter. Looking at the new granddaughter, your mother-in-law didn't feel a bit happy.
She thought about the Taoist's words and was worried that this girl would take up your quota for having a son. Even if she could become successful, she would have to marry into another family, and their family would not get any glory at all.
Especially when she overheard your husband discussing whether to have this one child, she began to think about how to change the situation.
At first, she thought of secretly throwing the child away or giving it away, but she was afraid that the next child would be a girl. After asking around, she found a folk remedy, a remedy that was said to ensure the next child would be a son.
She shared her idea with your father-in-law. At first, your father-in-law did not agree, but when she brought up the Taoist's prophecy, the beautiful future life, and the fact that the Ma family must not be exterminated.
Your father-in-law was successfully moved by her, and just like that, while you were resting, the two of them sneaked into your house and stole the child.
【!!! Shocking news! There really are such cruel grandparents. That's their own granddaughter, yet they abandon her just for what might happen.】
Everything this old lady did was beyond my expectations. I couldn't imagine what outrageous thing she would do next.
Song Qiuya was stunned by the news. It took her several seconds to come back to her senses. She stepped forward and tightly pinched her mother-in-law's shoulders: "Mother-in-law, is what the master said true?"
Ma Dongming also grabbed his father's hand and said, "Dad, where is my daughter? As long as you tell me today, I can pretend that this never happened."
The two looked at each other and both understood that this matter had to be kept secret. If their son knew about it, their family would definitely break up.
Zhang Suqin said stubbornly, "Whatever she says is true. How could we possibly do such a cruel thing?"
