Chapter 319 Looking for a Daughter
It is not an exaggeration to say that Chief Ling’s face was gloomy. “It happened many years ago. If I hadn’t had to, I would not have mentioned it. I was married in my hometown and had a daughter. Later, I went to the army and left home for many years. Later, when I went back to my hometown, I found that my hometown had changed a lot. My mother and her family had moved away. I sent people to look for them, but many people said that they were dead. After many years of searching, I couldn’t find them, so I gradually gave up.”
Yuan Xiao’s impression of Chief Ling was a little different.
His words actually concealed a lot of information.
According to Gu Lanting, Ling Yingyun was already in her twenties, and was obviously born ten years before the great turmoil.
In other words, Chief Ling had already married another wife before that.
What about his wife and daughter in his hometown?
By this calculation, when he went back to his hometown to visit, Ling Yingyun was already in her teens.
This was not a case of divorcing his wife and marrying another woman. When he married another woman, he might not have even let his wife and mother
in his hometown know. Gu Lanting didn't know what to feel.
This was the first time he heard about Chief Ling's past.
"Do you want me to help you find your daughter?"
Even someone as decisive as Gu Lanting felt a little embarrassed.
"Lanting, I know it's not right to do this, but you understand the feelings of a father. Yingyun and you have known each other since childhood. She just got married and hasn't had time to have a child of her own..."
Yuan Xiao's head was buzzing until he walked out of Chief Ling's house.
Gu Lanting had a sullen face the whole time, and only said that he would help to inquire, but whether he could find the person or not was uncertain.
He held Yuan Xiao's hand, "Are you unhappy?"
Yuan Xiao pursed her lips, "I can't say whether I'm happy or not, but I just think that people's hearts are unpredictable and fate plays tricks on people."
Gu Lanting held her in his arms and rubbed her for a few times, "You are only a few years old, and you are already lamenting about life. Don't you want me to help you find someone?"
Yuan Xiao shook her head, kneading her brows, "Just make your own decision on this matter, don't ask me."
He pinched her nose, "Is there something that you are so entangled about?"
"From the perspective of Chief Ling and Ling Yingyun, I certainly hope that they can be successfully matched. However, Chief Ling has not looked for this daughter for so many years, but now he wants to find her for such a purpose. This behavior is not only unkind, but also unworthy of being a human being. Don't say that she should do this and that because Chief Ling gave her a life. In fact, Chief Ling only donated a sperm, and he felt comfortable in the process. He did not experience the pain of pregnancy, the pain of childbirth, and he did not bear the responsibility of raising a child. Why should he, in the name of a father, order a girl who regards him as a stranger to dedicate herself to his precious daughter?"
Yuan Xiao was entangled in this. She was more inclined to the innocent and hard-working girl.
Why did she feel hardship?
Three women supporting each other in times of great turmoil, wouldn't it be hard?
But Chief Ling never thought about this.
He even thought that his daughter was dead, so he gave up looking for her.
Or maybe, in his heart, he just hoped that his daughter was dead so that she wouldn't disrupt his current life.
But now that Ling Yingyun is ill, he needs his daughter, so he hopes that she is alive.
"I'll look for her."
After all, she has been asked many times, and even if he feels uncomfortable in his heart, he can't really not look for her.
But it's been so many years, it's not easy to find her.
...
Xiaofang can go home every two days to replenish the food at home for her grandmother, and check if her grandmother has finished her medicine.
"Fang'er, your friend came to your house to look for you several times."
Xiaofang looked a little awkward, "What did she come here for?"
"She didn't say anything, she just said she came to see you and would meet you at the old place when you came back."
"Grandma, if she comes to see you again, don't open the door and ignore her."
"Ignore who?" A woman walked in from the door.
If Yuan Xiao was here, she would recognize at a glance that this was Zhou Qing, the daughter of the second aunt who had been gone for a long time!
Xiaofang subconsciously closed the door, but Zhou Qing took a few steps forward and came in before she closed the door.
"You should know why I came here, right?"
Xiaofang pursed her lips and looked at her defensively, "I don't have money, and I won't give you money in the future!"
Zhou Qing stepped forward to grab Xiaofang, but Xiaofang was prepared and took two steps back.
"Go quickly, I told you, I won't give you money anymore!"
Zhou Qing sneered, "Aren't you afraid that I will report your family's affairs? Your family is a bad element, and you and your grandmother will be arrested and criticized!"
Xiaofang was actually a little panicked, but then she thought of Wang Yazhi's words.
Wang Yazhi is a good person and won't lie to her!
"I, I'm not afraid! You are lying to me. Now people don't care about their background at all. You can report it, anyway, I won't give you money anymore!"
Zhou Qing felt strange. Xiaofang's character is stupid and easy to control, why did her temper change so much today?
She finally found a "long-term meal ticket" and she still thought fifty yuan a month was not enough!
"Are you sure? Then I will report to the public security bureau now!" Zhou Qing threatened.
Xiaofang forced herself to calm down, but her grandmother panicked.
"Girl, don't report it. I'll give you how much money you want. Give me some time!"
She was old and didn't care. Xiaofang couldn't really be arrested and criticized.
Xiaofang stopped her grandmother, "Grandma, don't pay attention to her. The family I work for said that we won't talk about class background now, and we will be fine!"
"Xiaofang, don't be fooled! Do you know where I work now? The family I work for is the leader. They like me very much. As long as I say a few words to them, the Public Security Bureau will send people to arrest you all!"
Xiaofang spat at her, "I'm not afraid, just report it!"
Zhou Qing saw that Xiaofang was really capable, and decided not to give her money, and left angrily.
Xiaofang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, supported her grandmother and comforted her softly: "Grandma, even if she reports it, we will not be arrested and criticized. Aunt Wang said that now is a new society, and that kind of thing is not allowed.
" Grandma was stunned, "Who is Aunt Wang?"
Xiaofang stammered: "It's the family I work for."
She didn't dare to say that she stole things from Wang Yazhi's house and was arrested, otherwise grandma would cry to death.
"People are good to you, you have to work hard for them, and you can't be lazy. If you really can't, go find your dad, so you don't have to suffer."
Xiaofang jumped up suddenly as if her heart and lungs were stabbed.
"I don't! I don't have a dad! Grandma, don't think about looking for him, he's gone, how can he still think of us? He wishes we were dead!"
"Okay, okay, grandma won't say it, do whatever you want, grandma won't say it!"
Seeing Xiaofang was angry, grandma couldn't help but wipe away her tears secretly.
Her daughter Xiaofang also has a father, so she didn't need to suffer this kind of hardship.
