Chapter 249 Picked Up
“I found it.”
After hearing this, Jiang Anan stood there in a daze.
She thought she had heard it wrongly, "Mom, you said I was..."
"Oh!"
Li Cuifen sighed heavily.
"An'an, if you hadn't mentioned that the Chen family lost a daughter 25 years ago in Hecheng, Mom wouldn't have wanted to tell you about it.
When I gave birth to my daughter, I had a difficult labor and the baby died. Your father happened to pick up another child that day, and that child was you.
Your dad and I thought that maybe this was fate given by God. You were almost starving to death at that time and crying so hard, but I fed you and you started laughing again. Your dad and I thought that maybe this was fate.
But your grandma favored boys over girls, and every family was hungry at that time, so your dad and I were afraid that she would not allow us to raise you, so we never told her that you were picked up, until now..."
After finishing the call, Li Cuifen wiped away her tears.
Life was really hard back then!
But over the years, she has never regretted raising Jiang Anan.
If Jiang Anan hadn't mentioned this today, she would probably have forgotten that the child was not hers.
In fact, she should have discovered it long ago. An An looked somewhat similar to Zhou Youfang. Now it was said that Zhou Youfang's daughter was abandoned in Hecheng that year. How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
At this moment, Jiang Anan didn't know what mood she was in.
I felt dazed and confused.
"Mom, so you think I'm Uncle Chen's daughter, so you told me this?"
Coming back to her senses, Jiang Anan asked.
Li Cuifen nodded, but then shook her head.
"I don't know if it is true or not. There were so many children abandoned back then. I thought, if the Chen family's parents are really your biological parents, then your father and I have done a great thing!"
As a parent, she knows how important children are.
Now that the Chen family can’t find their biological daughter, even if they can live a normal life on the surface, they must be in pain in their hearts!
If possible, she hopes An An is their daughter!
Jiang Anan returned home in a daze with the kid.
At night, Xu Wangjing returned home with a serious look on his face.
Jiang Anan asked, and then he said, "We have found the woman who helped Zhou Quan lose the child."
"Did she say where the child is?"
Jiang Anan's eyes widened.
Xu Wangjing was silent for a moment.
"She explained that she abandoned the child by the river. She said that she couldn't bear to leave the child, so when she went to look for him the next day, the child was gone. She probably got washed away by the river..."
There was a long silence in the room.
Washed away by the river...
What are the chances of survival?
But Jiang Anan thought of what Jiang's mother had said to her in the afternoon, "Do you think someone might have picked it up?"
After saying this, Xu Wangjing turned around and said, "That's possible."
But he thought the possibility was too small.
"My mother told me something today."
Jiang Anan started a conversation.
Xu Wangjing didn't say anything, just looked at her, waiting for her next words.
"She said I was picked up."
After these words were spoken, Xu Wangjing's eyes were dull for a moment.
Before he could come to his senses, Jiang Anan continued, "It was also 25 years ago. My mother thought that I might be Uncle Chen's daughter."
Xu Wangjing stood up immediately.
"We're going to the capital tomorrow!"
The next morning, Jiang Anan asked Sister Ma to help take care of the kid, and she and Xu Wangjing boarded the train to Beijing.
After arriving in the capital, as soon as I entered the Chen family, I saw Chen Sifang and Zhou Youfang wiping tears.
The two also received the news and knew that their biological daughter might have been washed away by the river.
Zhou Youfang was so sad that she almost collapsed, and Chen Sifang was not much better. Both of them were speechless.
Aunt Zhang sighed, poured a glass of water for Jiang Anan and Xu Wangjing, and then whispered, "They received the news yesterday. From then until now, a day and a night have passed. They haven't eaten or drunk anything. Please try to persuade them..."
As she spoke, Aunt Zhang also felt a little uncomfortable and turned around to wipe away her tears.
The Chen family treats her as a family member, so why shouldn't she treat the Chen family as a family member too?
Now that she heard the news, she was also heartbroken.
Jiang Anan looked at Chen Sifang and his wife, and felt a little moved.
"Uncle Chen, Auntie, how about eating something first?"
She opened her mouth to persuade.
But they both had no appetite.
Seeing them like this, Jiang Anan began to hesitate.
She didn't know whether to reveal the fact that she might be their daughter.
If the result is indeed like this, then everyone will be happy.
But what if it isn’t?
People cannot live in this world without hope, but what is more terrifying is the moment when hope is shattered.
If their happiness was in vain, would they be able to withstand the blow?
Just as he was about to say something, someone knocked on the door. Aunt Zhang went out, then came back with a letter and handed it to Chen Sifang.
Upon seeing this, Chen Sifang calmed down, opened the letter and the look in his eyes changed.
Before Jiang Anan knew the truth, the letter was unexpectedly delivered to her.
"It's your father's whereabouts."
Chen Sifang said.
When Jiang Anan heard this, she immediately looked at the letter.
The content of the letter was concise, but it cheered Jiang Anan up.
Jiang Deming is still alive and was taken to the Northwest.
Although no one knows what will happen next, this is already good news.
If the Jiang family knew about this, they would definitely be very happy.
"Your father is still alive..."
Chen Sifang sighed.
"An An, this is good news!"
Zhou Youfang paused, a little surprised.
The two of them were distracted by this incident and finally stopped dwelling on the pain of losing their daughter.
"So are we ready for dinner?"
Aunt Zhang took the opportunity to say something.
After hearing this, Zhou Youfang nodded.
They can starve themselves, but they can't let An An and Wang Jing starve with them.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang quickly brought up dinner.
They were all appetizing dishes, and she hoped that Chen Sifang and Zhou Youfang could eat more.
It’s a pity that even though their attention was diverted to Jiang Deming’s matter, Chen Sifang and his wife still had no appetite.
Jiang Anan felt even more helpless when she saw them like this. Whether or not to talk about that matter became a knot in her heart.
So, I don’t really want to eat it.
Seeing her like this, Chen Sifang considered for a while and said, "Don't be discouraged. As long as there is hope, you will definitely find your father!"
"Yes, An An, we'll find him sooner or later! Now we've found some clues, and I guess we'll be able to find out where he is in a while."
Zhou Youfang also quickly said something.
Although the two of them felt so uncomfortable that they couldn't eat, they hoped that An An would eat more.
It can be seen that after hearing this, An An whispered...
