Zhao Jincai watched Tan Dingguo walk away before smiling and turning back, completely unaware of Aunt Ning's stunned expression as she stood to the side.
Seeing that Tan Dingguo had turned the corner and disappeared from sight, Aunt Ning suddenly woke up as if from a dream and rushed forward to chase after him.
Tan Dingguo was in a hurry to get home, so he didn't move very slowly.
Aunt Ning kept running and running until she finally saw Tan Dingguo.
Then he hurriedly shouted, "Stop! Village chief of Xishan Village, please stop!"
Tan Dingguo, who had just heard the voice, was unsure if it was calling him. But when the next words came out, he turned around with a look of surprise on his face.
Seeing Aunt Ning running towards him, her face covered in sweat, he was a little confused. Why did she ask him to stop?
"Sister-in-law, did you call me?"
"Hoo hoo... It's... Village... Village Chief, hoo... I want to ask... Is there... a girl named Ning Jing in your village?"
When Aunt Ning saw Tan Dingguo stop, she rushed to him, panting, and looked at him with hopeful eyes, asking him a question.
"Ning Jing? What's your relationship with her?"
Upon hearing the woman's words, Tan Dingguo's heart skipped a beat.
I initially thought it was just a case of people looking alike, but it seems there's more to the story!
When Aunt Ning heard Tan Dingguo ask this question, a look of joy flashed across her face. It seemed that the village chief should know about Daya.
“I…I am her mother, her biological mother.”
She was a little anxious and a little scared, and patted her chest with trembling hands as she spoke.
"Her biological mother?"
Tan Dingguo didn't know the details at the time. He only knew that the Fu couple went out and came back with a little girl, saying that they had taken her in because they felt sorry for her and no one else wanted her.
But now it seems there must be another reason behind this.
"If you are her biological mother, why is she in the Fu family? Why was she adopted by the Fu couple?"
Upon hearing Tan Dingguo's question, Aunt Ning involuntarily covered her face with her hands and burst into tears.
“His father is gone. I am a widow with several children. At that time, my family really couldn’t support them, so I had no choice but to give my eldest daughter away.”
Upon hearing this, Tan Dingguo paused and remained silent, after all, the Fu couple had already passed away.
Only the parties involved know the specifics of what happened back then.
After crying her eyes out, Aunt Ning looked up and said with a pained expression, "I just want to ask, how is she doing now? Is she married? Does she have children? How is her in-laws treating her?"
Tan Dingguo pondered for a moment, then said, "I can only say that she's doing quite well. As for the rest, if you really want to know, you'd better ask her yourself."
He paused for a moment after saying this.
Then he looked up at Aunt Ning and said, "After all, Zhao Family Village isn't that far from Xishan Village, don't you think, sister-in-law?"
Upon hearing Tan Dingguo's words, Aunt Ning's face, which had been full of pain, looked as if she had been punched hard.
First her face flushed red, then the color drained away like a receding tide.
All that remained was a pale face, tears welling in her eyes, her lips trembling, yet she couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing her like this, Tan Dingguo understood what was going on. It seemed that she did know where Ning Jing was.
He didn't say anything more, just nodded to Aunt Ning, then turned and left with his hands behind his back.
All that remained was Aunt Ning, who suddenly collapsed to the ground the moment he turned away, covering her face with her hands.
Although she didn't cry out loud this time, tears streamed down her face from between her fingers.
