"Dr. Zhu, I don't mean anything else. I just think this little girl is very good-looking. She is about the same age as my son..."
Seeing Zhu Tianlei's eyes, Mao Fang quickly explained.
"It's nothing, I just think you and Mao Yu look a bit alike..."
This is what Zhu Tianlei discovered when he looked at Mao Fang. Although the two people were very different in age, the marks between their eyebrows were very similar.
"ah!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Tianlei finished speaking, the water glass in Mao Fang's hand fell to the ground with a bang. The hot water splashed out and immediately caused a blister on the back of Mao Fang's hand.
"Are you okay?"
Mao Yu, who came back from fetching water, happened to see this scene. He ran over quickly, bent down and took Mao Fang's hand in his, blowing twice.
"Just wait, I'll go find the nurse and get some ointment for the burn."
Mao Yu turned around and was about to leave, but was held back by Mao Fang.
"Are you Xiaoyu?"
Mao Yu was stunned.
"How do you know my name is Mao Yu?...Oh, I know, it was Zhu Tianlei who told you..."
Mao Yu was about to speak again when he suddenly saw Mao Fang's eyes filled with mist, and then, tears fell like rain, crackling down.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
Mao Yu was a little confused, but Zhu Tianlei's eyes darkened.
Both of them have the surname Mao and look very similar. Judging from Mao Fang's reaction, this matter may not be simple.
"Xiaoyu, I'm not an aunt, I'm a mother!"
What?
The hairy feathers are like being struck by lightning.
"Auntie, have you admitted the wrong person? I have a mother who passed away two years ago..."
"Xiaoyu, I am really my mother. Is your father's name Mao Aiguo, your grandma's name Wang Chunhua, and your grandpa's name Mao Ling..."
Mao Fang was already crying so hard that she held Mao Yu's hand tighter and tighter.
"How do you know?"
"My name is Mao Fang."
Mao Yu repeated the word Mao Fang over and over again.
"Are you an aunt?"
She remembered that when she was very young, she heard her grandparents mention that she had an aunt, but she lost contact with her family after she went to college and never came back.
When Mao Yu was a child, she often fantasized about what her aunt would look like. However, as the years passed and her grandparents passed away, Mao Fang's name was gradually forgotten.
"I'm not an aunt, you are my daughter, my biological daughter whom I gave to my elder brother and sister-in-law to raise!"
Mao Fang felt as if the blood all over her body was flowing backwards.
Back then, she and her first love secretly ate forbidden fruit and became pregnant. The husband was afraid of taking responsibility and actually left her when she gave birth. She was only twenty years old and could not raise the child alone.
It happened that the eldest brother and sister-in-law had been married for three years and still had no children. Under the arrangement of her parents, her child became the daughter of the eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Later, she was admitted to the civil service examination, received government support, and was introduced to Qiao Kuang. They got married after one year and gave birth to a son two years later.
She originally thought that everything in the past was over, but as her son grew up, she began to miss her daughter more and more. She did not dare to tell Qiao Kuang and could only suppress her longing hard.
It was not until four years ago, when her son went to college and her relationship with Qiao Kuang had stabilized to the point where it could no longer be stable, that she mustered up the courage to tell Qiao Kuang about it. Unexpectedly, Qiao Kuang not only did not blame her, but
On the contrary, he supported her in getting to know her daughter.
However, twenty years had passed. When he arrived at the residence of his eldest brother and sister-in-law, he discovered that his eldest brother had passed away more than ten years ago, and his sister-in-law had cancer two years ago and passed away. As for Mao Yu, his whereabouts were unknown.
.
She thought she would never have the chance to see her daughter again in her life, but she never expected that she would see her sweetheart here whom she had been thinking about for twenty years. She did not dare to let go and was reluctant to let go.
"No, you have recognized the wrong person. I am not your daughter. My mother's name is Wang Ling. I am Wang Ling's daughter. You have recognized the wrong person..."
Mao Yu suddenly pulled out his hand held by Mao Fang, repeatedly said a few words that Mao Fang had mistaken the person, then opened the door and ran out.
"Xiaoyu..."
Mao Fang wailed and collapsed on the ground.
This scene was so bloody and unbelievable that Zhu Tianlei was stunned for a moment.
But he quickly reacted and helped Mao Fang up from the ground.
"Director Mao, this incident is too sudden. It's normal for Xiaoyu not to accept it. Don't worry, I'll go out and see her..."
After saying that, Zhu Tianlei also ran out.
Under a willow tree next to the stone bridge of the hospital, Mao Yu stood quietly. The autumn wind blew by, and the willow branches danced with the wind, blowing the corners of Mao Yu's clothes.
"Tianlei, you know, my mother suffers from schizophrenia. When she is normal, no one can tell that she is ill. Like all mothers in the world, she cooks delicious food for me and combs my hair, but she
When I got sick, it became very scary. She pushed me against the wall, and once I was almost strangled to death..."
Feeling Zhu Tianlei's breath behind him, Mao Yu spoke quietly.
"I was very scared at that time, but fortunately I had a father who could protect me. But my father also passed away, leaving only my mother and I. My father's death made my mother's illness worse. I felt that I was worse off than dead.
I thought about running away from home, but when I saw my mother’s tears when she was awake, I couldn’t bear it.”
Zhu Tianlei said nothing, but listened to Mao Yu telling him about the past that had been dusted by time.
"I studied hard and studied hard. I passed the exam in the whole grade, ranked first in the county and even the city. Others thought that I was motivated and wanted to get ahead. In fact, I was not. I just wanted to leave my mother and that home, so I became the American
When Stanford University came to recruit students, I was the first to apply. The day the admission notice came out, I left, leaving my mother as if I was running away."
Tears fell from Maoyu's eyes. This was the first time Zhu Tianlei had seen Maoyu like this.
"I was struggling in the United States, working day and night, and wanted to numb myself and forget all this. Until I received the news of my mother's death, I didn't even have time to look at her for the last time. I heard that when she was dying, she kept shouting
Saying my name, woo woo..."
Maoyu's cries gradually amplified and drifted away with the autumn wind.
"But now, a woman came out and said to me, she is my mother, so all the hard work I have done in those years are all a joke. What qualifications does she have to be my mother? Since she gave birth to me, she doesn't care about me.
, what are you running out to do now, ah, what are you doing?"
Mao Yu's voice was hoarse, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances and anguish he had accumulated in his heart for so many years.
"Xiao Yu, God has taken away a mother who raised you, and now he has sent a mother who is connected to you by blood. You should be happy. In this world, you are not alone. You still have a mother. She has good intentions.
She is repentant and willing to make amends. Even if you don’t give her a chance, you should give yourself a chance to start over!” (To be continued)
