"I've asked, but it was twenty years ago and many midwives have died. I've asked the few who are still alive, but they don't know." Mother He sighed.
She also didn't expect that she couldn't find out the child's origins at all.
Madam Mu felt uncomfortable, but she had to face reality.
"The child can't find out, so where is the woman?"
Of course she knew what her son had done outside.
"She's missing, and her family has no news about her." Mother He sighed.
Madam Mu thought for a moment, a look of determination in her eyes.
Now her health is getting worse day by day. She has to find out the truth no matter what. If it is really the flesh and blood of the Mu family who is wandering outside, how can she explain to the old man when she goes to the underworld?
"Since we can't find the child, let's investigate that woman. The child has no origin, and a living person can't just disappear out of thin air. She's been hiding for so many years, it's time for her to show up."
Thinking of that woman, the old lady gritted her teeth.
If it weren't for her, her beloved son would not have broken up with her, and the Mu family would not be in such a difficult situation now.
All this was caused by that woman.
Mother He knew it all. "Don't worry, old lady. I've already sent someone to investigate that woman. It's said that someone saw her nearby some time ago. Although the news is still uncertain, as long as she dares to show up here, we will definitely find her."
Of course the old lady has confidence.
As long as they were on this small piece of land, there was no one that the Mu family couldn't find.
"Thank you for your hard work. You must do your best to find that woman."
The woman she once hated the most has now become one of her few hopes.
If that woman really gave birth to blood for the Mu family, she could forgive all the past events and even give her a status so that she could live a good life for the rest of her life.
A lot of hatred can be forgotten with time.
But there are some things that cannot and must not be forgotten.
Mother He nodded and turned to do it.
"Mother He, you've worked hard these past few days. Don't go today. Take a break and continue looking for someone tomorrow."
"Old Madam, I'm not tired. As long as I can find the young master who is stranded outside, I deserve any hardship I endure."
The old lady nodded and motioned for Mother He to go and rest.
The sun was setting, but Tian Chengcheng and his group still hadn't chosen a suitable house.
Yang Chongming wanted to say that he would look for it again tomorrow, but after taking one look at Wan's mother's expression, he didn't have the courage to speak. He could only silently accompany everyone to continue the search.
The group visited almost all the rental houses in the town.
Finally, we arrived at the last one.
This is the last one and the last hope.
"If this one still isn't suitable, then we're going to go look in another town, but that won't happen until tomorrow."
Yang Chongming expressed his thoughts.
"Don't try to fool me. Go take a look first. Even if it's not suitable, don't go there tonight. Come with us to the hotel. I'll pay for it."
Wan's mother was firm in her attitude.
No matter what, she would never let Yang Chongming go back to live in that place.
Yang Chongming didn't dare to talk back. He led the way silently and knocked on the door.
After a long time, the door finally opened. A woman with her face covered and only a pair of eyes exposed stood there. Seeing so many people, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and then she lowered her head.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
"Hello, sister. I see your house is for rent. Would it be convenient for us to take a look?"
"There are only two spare rooms in my house, and they can't accommodate so many of you."
"I live alone, but I'll rent both rooms. I need to keep some tools for work, so there might be some noise, but not too loud. I can promise to try not to work at night so as not to disturb your rest."
Yang Chongming didn't want to continue shopping.
He thought this yard was relatively safe, so he decided to live here.
The woman then raised her head, and when she saw Yang Chongming, her eyes trembled violently, but it was so fast that no one noticed.
"Sister, sister?" Seeing that she didn't respond, Yang Chongming called out twice more.
The woman finally came to her senses and said, "There is a house. Come and take a look. I live alone in such a big house and it is empty. As long as you are an honest and decent person, even if the price is low, it is fine."
This is a very friendly thing to say.
Yang Chongming was very happy. "Don't worry, sister. I'm an honest man. I've lived here all these years. I'm a decent person and will definitely not cause any trouble for you."
Hearing his words, Tian Chengcheng wanted to roll her eyes.
Are you a well-behaved person?
Will never cause trouble?
No matter how I think about it, it seems unlikely.
But it was obvious that the woman believed him and said, "Come in and take a look."
She led the way, and the group followed her to see the two empty rooms.
The area is quite large, and there are simple furniture inside, so you can live there directly. There is also a small house on the south side that is vacant and can be rented out as a studio.
"Sister, I think your house is quite nice. How much is it per month?"
"If you like this house, I don't mind the rent. You can help me look after the yard, clean it, etc. You can even live here for free."
"Free accommodation?"
Yang Chongming was shocked.
Others were also shocked.
Although renting a house doesn't cost much money nowadays, everyone is poor and they try to make as much money as they can. It's rare to find someone who is so well-off.
Tian Chengcheng looked at the woman.
Although the clothes she wore were a little old, they were all made of fine cotton, which showed that her living conditions were good in the past. However, she had been covering her face since they came.
Could he be a dangerous person?
But soon, Tian Chengcheng denied this idea.
The woman has a gentle and simple temperament that makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze. Such a woman should have nothing to do with danger.
"Sister, what's your name?" Tian Chengcheng asked.
When the woman saw Tian Chengcheng, she had a pair of clear and transparent big eyes, without any impurities, and a sweet smile that could warm her heart.
I like it unconsciously.
"My last name is Ning, you can just call me Sister Ning." Ning Xia said.
"Sister Ning, do you usually live here alone? Where are your family members?"
"I'm the only one left." Ningxia said.
She didn't want to say much about her own affairs.
Hearing this, Tian Chengcheng expressed sympathy and comforted her, "Sister Ning, don't be sad. Your family is watching you from heaven. They want you to be happy."
Ningxia felt warm in her heart.
It has been many years since anyone said such warm words to her.
Her eyes fell on Yang Chongming, and her heart began to beat rapidly.
