Sister Xiaocao and Teacher Xie Nan seem to have only met once.
When Teacher Xie Nan heard this sentence, she didn't know whether to be disappointed or grateful for a moment.
What kind of answer is she expecting?
Isn't Su Xiaocao Su Jiujiu's biological daughter?
Is that possible?
At that time, every household did not even have enough food to satisfy their hunger, and even a grain of rice could save their lives.
If she is not her biological daughter, who would want to raise someone else’s child and waste food?
If the couple doesn't have children, then that's fine.
But Su Jiujiu already has two sons, how could he adopt someone else's daughter?
After all, I was overthinking it!
Her child is probably gone!
Thinking of that poor child, Teacher Xie Nan had a sad look on her face and even turned a little pale.
Su Xiaotian is observing Teacher Xie Nan.
She looked at the changes in Teacher Xie Nan's face and felt very strange.
Why did she see pain on Teacher Xie Nan's face? It was a pain that could not be expressed.
It broke our hearts!
"Teacher Xie, are you okay?" Su Xiaotian supported Teacher Xie Nan and asked.
Teacher Xie Nan took a deep breath and walked towards the stool under the shade of a tree nearby.
Su Xiaotian didn't know why, so she could only follow.
Teacher Xie Nan sat down on the stool and looked into the distance, seeming to penetrate all the barriers and look at a place that no one else could see.
Su Xiaotian could feel the disappointment and sadness of Teacher Xie Nan at this moment. She didn't know why just asking about Su Xiaocao's situation would make Teacher Xie Nan so sad?
"Xiaotian, would you like to hear me tell a story?"
Teacher Xie Nan did not look at Su Xiaotian, but still looked in the distant direction.
"Thank you, Teacher, tell me!"
Su Xiaotian is very willing to be a listener if it can make Teacher Xie feel better.
Teacher Xie began to tell a story.
There was a girl who came from a scholarly family. She was smart and well-read since she was a child, and was deeply loved by her parents.
It's a pity that she lost her mother when she was thirteen years old, and two years later, when she was fifteen years old, she lost her father.
From then on, the girl who was once held in the palm of her parents' hands became an unwanted orphan.
The girl who lost her parents had to drop out of school and go home to live with her sister-in-law and brother.
My sister-in-law dislikes her for being a drag, and not only does she have to work every day, but sometimes she doesn't have enough food or clothing to keep warm.
The elder brother also turned a blind eye and ignored his only sister. Many times, his nose was not her nose and her eyes were not her eyes, showing obvious disgust.
The girl originally had a planned marriage, but because of the death of her parents, she regretted the marriage.
The candidate for the other party's re-engagement was none other than the girl's sister-in-law's maiden sister.
The girl was unwilling to give in. Teenagers, when they are young and energetic, wanted to ask for details.
She finally met her former fiancé.
The man coaxed her, saying that it was a matter decided by her parents and that he liked him.
In short, it is a simple little girl who is deceived by a man and takes the lie as the truth, thinking that the man really likes her.
Just because of family connections, I had to make a marriage arrangement with another woman.
Just when the girl learned that she was pregnant, she heard the news that the man was going to marry someone else.
The girl drowned herself in despair, but was washed up on the shore three times.
In the end, the girl gave up the idea of committing suicide, begged along the way, and finally gave birth to a daughter.
When Su Xiaotian heard this, she still didn't understand that Teacher Xie Nan was telling her own story.
And now Teacher Xie Nan should be doubting that Sister Xiaocao is her daughter.
"Teacher Xie, are you telling your story?"
Although she had already guessed that Teacher Xie Nan was telling her own story, Su Xiaotian still felt that she should ask clearly.
After all, this matter also involves Sister Xiaocao.
After telling these things that had been suppressed in his heart for more than 20 years, Teacher Xie Nan suddenly felt that he felt a lot more relaxed and relieved.
But the heart-piercing pain of losing her daughter still made her extremely painful.
"It's my own story. When I was young, I didn't understand people well. I not only harmed myself, but also harmed my daughter. In order to atone for my sins, I never got married, and I also wanted to find my daughter."
As Teacher Xie Nan said this, she couldn't help covering her face, and tears fell down her fingers.
After so many years, the pain that I thought had disappeared, unexpectedly, never really dissipated from the bottom of my heart.
She could never let go.
"I searched for many years, but in the end I could not find out the whereabouts of my daughter. Later, the situation became worse and worse, and I had to give up looking for my daughter."
When Teacher Xie Nan said this sentence, her voice was so choked that her intonation was almost lost.
With no way to save herself, she had to give up searching for her daughter. In the past two years, she had made inquiries but had no news.
Subconsciously, she actually felt that her daughter should no longer be alive.
After all, it was only such a small group, still in such an environment.
There is little hope for an adult to survive, let alone a tiny newborn baby.
"After seeing Xiaocao, I always felt that she had something to do with me. But even you said that you had never heard that Xiaocao was adopted."
If it is not adopted, then it has nothing to do with you.
Su Xiaotian didn't know how to comfort Xie Nan.
She felt that whatever she said was wrong, so she could only silently take out a small handkerchief and help Teacher Xie Nan wipe away her tears.
Teacher Xie Nan never expected that she would cry uncontrollably in front of a child.
"Xiaotian, I made you laugh."
Over the years, these things have been suppressed in her heart and she has never told anyone.
If she hadn't picked up Su Xiaocao, who was vaguely similar to herself, perhaps she would never mention this matter again in her life.
Perhaps, all this will be forgotten as one grows older.
"Teacher Xie, you and Sister Xiaocao are indeed somewhat similar, but I don't know if Sister Xiaocao is Uncle Jiujiu's biological daughter."
We can only go home and inquire about this matter, but Su Xiaotian feels that there is a high probability that Sister Xiaocao will be Uncle Jiujiu's biological daughter.
In this case, will Teacher Xie Nan be very disappointed?
Su Xiaotian thought about it and then said, "Teacher Xie, does your daughter have any obvious birthmarks?"
I don’t know if there is a paternity test in this era, but even if there is, it probably doesn’t exist in China at the moment. To get a paternity test, you have to wait for many years.
Can Teacher Xie Nan afford to wait many years before finding her daughter?
Under such backward conditions, perhaps the birthmark carried on the body from birth is the only way to determine the relationship.
Xie Nan said without thinking, "I still remember that there was a cinnabar mole on her waist."
