One woman and her partner left their hometown because they lost their fertility and came to a city where no one knew them.
She originally wanted to live a stable life, but her wife's early departure made her lose the idea of living. Just when she wanted to go down to be with her lover, a woman with a single child knocked on her door.
The appearance of the other person seemed to be destined by God. After the kind-hearted woman learned that Zhang Cuilan was alone, she would not only find an excuse to temporarily leave the child to the other person's care.
After work is over, he will also cook for a table full of delicious dishes.
Careful, strong, and full of hope for life.
Such a woman was living alone in the city with her daughter. Such a scene could not help but puzzle Zhang Cuilan back then.
After her indirect questioning, the other party revealed some unknown things to her.
A woman is born in a remote place.
Her father disappeared after going out, and her mother raised her up alone, but she died of illness early before she had time to enjoy the blessings.
Living in such a place, she was often bullied without any relatives, especially as she grew older, boys of the same age in the village would harass and tease her from time to time.
At that time, there was only one person who did not bully her.
Not only did he not bully her, but he protected her and helped her everywhere.
At that age, how could you not be tempted when meeting such a person? Not to mention that the young man back then was also very handsome.
In order to let the person they like go to school well, women go to work to earn money at a young age. Most of the jobs they engage in are manual labor, and various odd jobs are not included. Every time they go to the market, they have to walk a long distance just to earn money.
Take that meager price difference.
After years of hard work and hard work, all the money saved was given to the man after he was admitted to college.
The two came to the church to get married. Although no one else blessed them, they were still privately engaged for life.
After the man left, the woman waited expectantly.
The first year's holiday came and the man returned to the village. It was also that year that she became pregnant with her daughter.
The man disappeared the next year and only exchanged letters.
In the third year, the man simply disappeared and there was no news.
It was precisely because of the sudden disappearance of the other party and in order to avoid gossip from other people in the village that the woman took her daughter on a journey to find her husband.
I went to the capital and went to the man's school, only to be told that the man had already gone through the formalities for suspending his studies.
After making various inquiries, we came to the city where Zhang Cuilan lived.
The money was almost spent. In order to maintain food and clothing for herself and her children, the woman had no choice but to temporarily settle in this city. While finding a job, she planned to save more money and then find someone else.
It was also during this period that mother and daughter met Zhang Cuilan.
They can be regarded as two lonely families who came together because of fate.
In her free time, when the woman is unable to take care of her daughter, Zhang Cuilan can also help take care of her daughter.
I thought that the person who had suffered would eventually get his own happy life one day, but God always likes to play tricks on kind people.
Zhang Cuilan didn't know the specific incident. She only knew that the woman who came home that night looked tired and her face lacked the smile of the past.
After taking my daughter home, she disappeared.
This disappearance lasted for two full days.
During this period, Zhang Cuilan noticed something was wrong and vaguely heard the cry of a child from the other party's home. After knocking on the door to no avail, she chose to call the police and opened the door opposite.
After the door opened, tragedy appeared in front of the group of people.
After so many years, Zhang Cuilan still remembers this scene vividly when she recalled it again.
No matter what, she could never forget the woman lying on the bed and the little figure next to her mother.
"Later, I took care of you in the hospital for a while. I originally wanted to contact your family, but I couldn't find them. When I thought about you being sent to a place like an orphanage, I thought I might as well take care of you.
.”
"..."
After Zhang Cuilan finished speaking, Zhao Xuanying, who was sitting next to her, had mixed feelings in her heart. She really never thought that she would be adopted by her grandmother like this.
What surprised her even more was that her mother... died like that.
Zhao Xuanying has no impression of her mother.
She had only seen the other person's photo, and she still remembered that her mother looked very happy in the photo, but no matter what, she couldn't associate the seemingly cheerful person in the photo with the incident of unexplained death.
What has happened to my mother...
At this moment, Zhao Xuanying had such doubts.
"You're saying that she looked wrong the last time I saw her?"
Before Zhao Xuanying came to her senses, Liu Weicheng, who had been listening silently, raised this question.
Hearing Liu Weicheng's question, Zhang Cuilan looked over and nodded immediately.
Such behavior made his doubts even stronger.
According to the description, how could a woman who was so full of expectations suddenly choose to understand her own life?
And it's the kind without any warning...
"By the way, how did that guy Chen Shikun explain this to you?"
Thinking of something, Liu Weicheng then asked.
Since Chen Shikun wanted to recognize Zhao Xuanying, he must have said something to Zhang Cuilan. He disappeared for so many years and then suddenly appeared. If the other party did not have a reasonable explanation, Zhang Cuilan would not have arranged for Zhao Xuanying to attend the lunch dinner.
Upon hearing the inquiry, Zhang Cuilan spoke.
"He said that after he dropped out of school, he started doing business. He originally wanted to wait until his career took off before picking up the mother and daughter. Who knew that when he returned to his hometown, he was told that the mother and daughter had left long ago."
"He said that?"
"Yes, he also said that he has been looking for it all these years, but he has never found it."
"..."
"A man of that age cried when he said this, and asked me to just talk to Yingying. Even if I don't want to recognize him, it's okay..."
After hearing Zhang Cuilan's narration, Liu Weicheng's eyes widened uncontrollably.
The person grandma described seemed different from what he knew.
After all, there were people around him who knew Chen Shikun, not to mention Lin Nianwei, who knew only a little about it. He had met with his brother Lin Sheng several times, and the other party had also talked about Chen Shikun's life.
The Dong family, who entered the family by marriage, gradually improved with the help of the other family.
This point alone is very different from what Zhang Cuilan just described.
Thinking of Chen Shikun's frequent interviews on TV shows, it should be easy for him to lie like this.
In this case...then what this man and Zhang Cuilan said has no credibility at all.
After contemplation, Liu Weicheng looked at the two people on the sofa, and his eyes finally settled on Zhang Cuilan.
He spoke.
"If he comes to see you again, grandma remember to notify me then."
Chen Shikun's face appeared in his mind, and Liu Weicheng rarely became serious.
"I would like to know... what exactly he wants to do."
