Fang Mei calmed down before Zhao Da.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Although your Yan family has a prominent family background, we, an ordinary working-class family, can't afford to offend. But since you say you are Lixia's biological parents, there are some things I must say."

"It's okay, you can say whatever you want to say, there are no outsiders here."

Yan's mother sat opposite Fang Mei and motioned for her to speak directly.

"Your Yan family is so well-off, you shouldn't be unable to raise a baby. Since you chose to give birth to Lixia, why did you throw her away, and in a deserted place like the back mountain?"

"If you really dislike the fact that she is a girl, you could give her to a family without children. Why did you choose to throw her away?"

"How much can such a tiny child eat? Even if you only give her half a bowl of porridge for each meal, it will be good for her to survive. She is a living person!"

When Fang Mei thought of this, she felt sorry for her daughter-in-law.

When she heard the old Qin couple describing the scene when they found Lixia, she couldn't help but want to cry, after all, it was a human life.

It is not very cold in early May, but the temperature difference between day and night is more than ten degrees.

A baby who was only two days old, wearing thin and ragged clothes, was lying alone on the mountain. He couldn't even shout for help and cried until his voice became hoarse.

According to Lao Tan's wife, there were some insects and ants crawling on her body at the time. If she hadn't snorted softly, she would have thought she was dead.

"You misunderstood. We didn't abandon her. Our whole family would never do such a thing."

"When I was pregnant with her, some older people looked at my belly and said it was a girl. Our whole family was so happy and we have been looking forward to her birth."

"As a result, I fell asleep right after giving birth and before I could even see the baby clearly. The baby was replaced deliberately!"

Yan's mother covered her face and cried, unable to speak any more.

"Aunt Fang, my parents and grandparents didn't know about this at the time."

"Before giving birth, my mother-in-law was given an abortion-inducing drug. During the birth, the doctor and nurse in the delivery room colluded and had already made a plan to replace the baby..."

"If I hadn't visited your house a while ago and accidentally met Sister Lixia, they might still not know that the baby was swapped."

"this..."

Fang Mei thought about it over and over again, but she never expected this to be the reason. She looked at Zhao Da beside her at a loss.

They had agreed before that if Lixia's biological parents came to recognize her, they would stop the recognition no matter what, but now they found that the truth was completely different from what they thought.

"Don't rush this matter, okay? Let's take our time first."

At this moment, Zhao Da no longer cared whether the other party was the leader he once admired. He just wanted to calm down and digest this sudden fact.

He has a good relationship with Lao Tan. Later, Lao Tan and his family gave Lixia to them to raise. He has always regarded Lixia as his own daughter, just like Zhao Heng. Now he is also very conflicted.

"It's almost six o'clock now, why don't we go eat first?"

Song Fuyu gave her opinion.

It was not a good idea for several people to sit here facing each other, so they simply went to eat and chat while eating. The main reason was that she had not eaten well in the two days on the train, and now she was a little hungry.

"Okay, how about we go eat first?"

"Let's not talk about the fact that Lixia is our daughter. It's true that Zhao Da and I haven't seen each other for many years."

"Then go ahead."

"Wife, go home and tell Lixia that we won't be having dinner at home tonight."

"No need to go through so much trouble, just let Jianjun come to your house and tell him."

A few people went to a nearby state-owned restaurant and sat down at a table near the back.

"Zhao Da, when Tan Yunliang fell down the mountain and was injured and discharged from the army, was that intentional?"

Father Yan now thinks back to the situation at that time. With Qin Yunliang's skills, he shouldn't have fallen off the mountain so easily.

"Yes, he did it on purpose."

“In fact, it’s not easy for them.”

Zhao Da took a sip of water, and then slowly began to tell them about the Qin family's past.

"Mr. Tan and his wife Huizhen have known each other since childhood. After marriage, Huizhen has a good relationship with Mr. Tan's family. She is filial to her parents-in-law and united with her brother and sister-in-law."

"But who would have thought that after two or three years of marriage, Huizhen still hasn't gotten pregnant. In the countryside, if you haven't had a child after being married for so long, wouldn't you be talked about by everyone?"

"Lao Tan's parents didn't want him to be cut off, so they wanted Lao Tan and Hui Zhen to divorce. But Lao Tan is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty, so naturally he didn't want to get divorced. Finally, they were forced into a corner and simply rented a house for Hui Zhen in the town near the Wenshi Army. This way, the couple could be closer and no one would gossip about them."

"On the day of the Beginning of Summer, Huizhen wanted to give Lao Tan some clothes she had made, and to go to the mountains to pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables to bring back. Who would have thought that she would pick up a child by chance."

"In the beginning, Lao Tan wanted to help Lixia find her family, but Huizhen disagreed."

"She thought that since the other party had abandoned the child on the mountain, it was obvious that they didn't want to raise the child. And since she and her husband didn't have any children, she wanted to keep the child and treat him as her own..."

"Later, the two of them developed feelings for the child and were worried that the child would be discovered by others, so they decided to take the child away from Wen City."

"So Lao Tan staged a fall incident... and successfully brought the child back home."

"I thought the family of three would live a happy life, but who would have thought that they would both be seriously ill..."

Zhao Da sighed helplessly, lamenting the fickleness of the world.

"Does Lixia know that she is not the biological child of Mr. and Mrs. Tan?"

"I know. Lao Tan told her before he died."

"But she also thought that she was abandoned by her biological parents. Although she didn't say it explicitly, she probably hated her biological parents in her heart."

Yan's father and mother said they could understand this and that hatred was inevitable, after all, she had always mistakenly believed that she was an abandoned child.
