Chapter 7 The Missing Mother



Because last night’s video went viral on the forum, the number of people watching the live broadcast today doubled compared to yesterday.

[Master, how much does your fortune-telling cost? It shouldn't be unaffordable for ordinary people like us, right?]

Su Yan: The price varies according to the size of the incident and will not exceed your affordability.

Wu Ping continuously gave out the biggest gifts on the platform in an effort to obtain the qualification to connect.

"Congratulations to Yiyeblinmu for obtaining the connection qualification. Please open the video chat."

Wu Ping took out the only photo of his mother and said, "Hello everyone, I am Feng Ping, the person seeking help this time. I would like Master Su to help me find my mother.

In my only memory, she was a very gentle person. She cooked delicious meals for me every day and coaxed me to sleep at night. But when I was five years old, she said she was going to the market to buy toys for me, and she never came back since then.

People in the village say that she has a lover and ran away with him, but I don’t believe my mother would do such a thing. Can you help me find her?

His mother's whereabouts have always been a thorn in Wu Ping's heart. Since she left, the villagers have been insulting her with bad words. Whenever he goes up to refute them, he will be taken home by his angry father and beaten and scolded. After so many times, he pretended not to hear anything.

After he finally got a job, he had been trying to find his mother's whereabouts, but because of the long time and too little information, he had no clues. Yesterday, when he was browsing the forum, he saw Su Yan's live broadcast and came to the live broadcast room with the mentality of giving it a try.

Su Yan looked at the photo and said, "Your mother is still alive, but without her permission, I can't tell anyone else where she is."

[I don't understand. The person you're consulting isn't a stranger. Why shouldn't you say anything? What kind of a master are you?]

[Could it be that the client's mother really did something bad? This is so chilling.]

Just when Su Yan was about to explain, a rapid knock on the door from the other side of the video broke the silence in the room.

"Wu Ping, open the door quickly, I'm your grandma, I need you for something!"

Wu Ping opened the door and welcomed the person in: "Grandma, what can I do for you?"

"I won't allow you to look for your mother. Grandma, please just pretend she's dead out there, okay?"

Before Wu Ping could answer, Wu Zhiqiang rushed in. "Let him look for her. I want to see where this damn woman has gone. I was so good to her, and now she disappeared without a word. I've been looked down upon in the village. I must find her."

Mother Chen looked at her son-in-law who was still so tough: "Ping, I will tell you everything today. After listening, you can consider whether to go to your mother."

[What's going on? I smell the melon and feel like my grandma knows something.]

[Recalling the recent popular missing persons case online, where it was discovered that the victim was murdered by his own family, I wonder if this person was also murdered.]

[The person above obviously wasn't paying attention. The master said she's still alive. I'll punish you by watching the replay tomorrow.]

Chen's mother fell into reminiscence: "Suhua has been a very worry-free child since she was young. She helped us with housework when she was five or six years old, and learned to cook as soon as the stove was high. After having her, I feel much more relaxed.

She studied very well in elementary school, but her family had no money, so they had to let her brother go to school and let her go out to work. Even so, she did not resent us and sent most of the money she earned back home. Later, she found a partner. I met him once and he was a reliable person. She thought a good life was coming, but something happened at home.

Your uncle accidentally fell off the scaffolding at the construction site, and one of his legs became disabled. The arranged marriage fell through. In rural areas where labor is very important, this is equivalent to losing the advantage in finding a wife. But he is the only boy in our family, and we cannot let the family line end with him.

After much deliberation, we came up with a solution: marriage exchange, where the daughter of one family is married to the daughter of another family, so that both families have daughters-in-law.

"Shut up and don't listen to this old woman's nonsense." Wu Zhiqiang interrupted. This was tantamount to telling everyone that he had no ability and had to rely on exchange to marry a wife. How could he hold his head up in front of his friends if this got out?

His reaction just confirmed it, and Wu Ping pushed him out: "Grandma, I want to know the truth, please continue."

"We tricked Suhua back home and told her about this. Of course, your mother didn't agree, but she was a soft-hearted little girl who had been brainwashed by her family so much that she really broke up with the person she was dating.

That's not all, but do you know how outrageous your family is? Originally, it was agreed that your uncle would marry her, but after a year of working away from home, he found a girlfriend at the factory, and so the marriage partner fell into your father's shoes.

In a very feudal rural area, if a girl who had been engaged to her older brother married his younger brother, you can imagine how harshly the villagers would speak to her.

Things had come to this point, and I didn't agree with their actions, but I was powerless and had no say. Fearing that I would cause trouble, your grandfather locked me in the back room, and I just listened to others persecuting my daughter from behind the wall."

Chen Suhua knelt on the ground: "Dad, Grandpa, please don't let me marry him. I will go out to work and give all the money I earn to my brother to marry him!"

"You silly girl, why are you crying on such a happy day? Your brother is our treasure. If you don't marry him, our family's roots will be cut off. Are you being worthy of our ancestors? Do you have to let grandma die to be happy?"

"You unfilial daughter, don't call me dad. You are going to drive our family to death, right? Don't kneel down in front of me. I, your father, will kneel down in front of you. Will you marry me?"

Chen Suhua knelt on the ground, listening to her family's threats and inducements, as if it would be a great act of unfilial piety if she did not obey. But she did not want this to happen. She wanted to live the life she expected.

"I won't marry!" The tiny voice was deafening. This was the first time she rebelled against her so-called family.

But her family would not let her go: "You don't have to marry, that's fine. Our family is going to be extinct anyway. I will kill your mother and then commit suicide. That will satisfy you."

Her father's threatening words exploded in Chen Suhua's ears. She knew that if she pushed her father into a corner, she would really do such a thing. She could ignore herself, but she couldn't ignore her mother. Although her mother was not very kind to her, she was the only one in the family who was willing to give her care and love: "Okay, I'll marry you!"

"Just like that, my daughter gave up her self-esteem and future for me, and I, locked in the room with a window, watched her put on her wedding dress and walk into another abyss, but I couldn't even say goodbye."
