C427 Find Your Parents
"You've got the wrong person, he said. I'm not, I'm not - - "The old woman shook her head with tears streaming down her face, her eyes tightly shut, not daring to look at her.
"Mom, open your eyes and look at me. . . I'm your Xia! How can you be so heartless and leave me alone? Do you know how I got over all these years? I have always felt very guilty. I feel that I am a burden to you. I made your life so difficult, that's why you couldn't bear it and wanted to commit suicide. Mom, Mom, Look at me, Mom. . . "Xia Dong shook her shoulder with tears streaming down her face.
The old woman clenched her fists tightly, gritted her teeth, and refused to let go.
Fu Chenghai also had tears flowing down his face. He touched the tears on his face and said, "Old partner, don't hide it from the child anymore. Just acknowledge the child!"
Xia Dong's expression was like the wind as she forcefully shook Xia Ling's shoulder, "Mom, did you hear that? Uncle Fu has already admitted your identity. Don't hide it from me anymore!"
Xia Ling slowly opened her eyes and looked at her daughter's heartbroken face. She could not help but hug her tightly and cry out involuntarily.
For a moment, there was only the sound of crying in the room.
After a long time, Xia Dong used a tissue to wipe Xia Ling's tears as she sobbed, "Mom, I am so happy that you are still alive. Mom, what kind of difficulties do you have and why are you not willing to acknowledge me?"
Xia Ling sighed bitterly, "Xia, Mom has already become like this. Mom just doesn't want to implicate you and don't want to become a burden to you. Knowing that you are living well, Mom will be content. "
"Mom, you are too stupid. You left me early. This has always been a regret in my heart. No matter how good I am, I can't make up for this regret. . . "
As Xia Dong spoke, tears flowed down again, "Mom, why did you commit suicide back then? Is it really because of me?"
"Silly, how could it be because of you. . . " Xia Ling lovingly caressed her daughter's face. She sobbed and said, "For you. No matter how much pain and tiredness I have to endure, I will persevere. . . The fire at that time. . . Actually, I never understood what was going on. That day. . . When you went to get the notice, I suddenly felt a little dizzy at home. I was going to sleep for a while, but I didn't expect a fire to happen. If it wasn't for your Uncle Fu's timely arrival, I would have died a long time ago. . . "
"Mom. . . " Xia Dong hugged her tightly with fear lingering in her heart.
Fu Chenghai said, "That day, I know that you have received the notice and I believe that you will do well in your exams. So I specially bought some vegetables to go to your house to celebrate with your mother. I didn't expect to see a sea of fire after entering the house. The blanket was already on fire, and your mother was still lying on the bed. I didn't feel anything at all, so I quickly pulled her out of the bed. I carry her out from the back door. . . "
He paused for a moment and continued, "Then, I sent your mother to the hospital, When he returned to the courtyard house, the firefighters had put out the fire. There was only ruins left. I looked for you for a long time. I didn't find you, so I went back to the hospital to take care of your mother. Finally, I heard that your mother committed suicide by arson. I only felt that things were bad when I didn't find any bones. I wanted to clarify the rumors to the outside world, but your mother stopped me. . . "
Xia Ling sighed and added, " My face was burned and my legs were crippled. Because I inhaled too much carbon dioxide and dust, it caused severe lung infection. I thought I wouldn't live for more than a few days and would die sooner or later. I might as well let you accept the reality of my death earlier. Xia, don't blame your mother. Mom just doesn't want to implicate you. . . "
How could a little girl in her teens take care of a seriously injured mother?
Back then Xia Ling hid it from Xia Dong because she didn't want to implicate her daughter. But she didn't expect that Fu Chenghai would never abandon her and spend all of his fortune to treat her illness. In the end, he let her live.
Fu Chenghai said, "Your mother has been in the hospital treating you for a long time and has been quietly paying attention to your situation. When she heard that you were sent to the orphanage, your mother was worried that she could not sleep every day. Later on, when she heard that your aunt brought you back to her home, your mother was relieved. "
"Your mother's illness was treated for a full two years before it got better. We were so poor at that time that we were penniless and owed a lot of money. We had no choice but to move to the countryside with your mother. We contracted a piece of land, hired farmers, and planted fruit trees. We only paid off all our debts after three years. "
Xia Dong felt grateful and uncomfortable. With tears in her eyes, she bowed to him solemnly. "Uncle Fu, all these years, my mother has been under your care. You will be my father from now on. I will definitely be filial to you and my mother. "
"Xia, what are you doing? Get up quickly. " Fu Chenghai hurriedly helped her up. "We are one family. Don't talk about two families. As long as you live well, your mother and I will be satisfied. "
Xia Dong was touched and tears fell down. She sincerely called out, "Father -"
" Good, good. Father is very happy. It has been a long time since I was this happy. . . " Fu Chenghai was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
They were busy catching up on old times. The food was already cold.
Leng Xue quietly carried the food to the kitchen. After heating it up, she carried it out again.
The three of them had already calmed down a lot. Fu Chenghai hurriedly helped to carry the food and said embarrassingly, "Miss Leng, I'm really sorry. I even let you do these things. "
Leng Xue, who had always been indifferent, "It's alright. Uncle, Auntie, Madam, let's eat. "
Fu Chenghai smiled brightly. "Alright, let's eat. My old companion, you're so happy today. How about letting Xia accompany me for a few drinks?"
Xia Ling said reproachfully, "If you want to drink, drink it yourself. Xia cannot drink. Even when she eats wine and meatballs, her face will turn red, let alone wine. "
Fu Chenghai laughed heartily, "Haha, that's true. Then I will drink a few cups by myself. Miss Leng, do you drink?"0
Leng Xue politely said, "Uncle, I can't drink. I still have to drive later. "
Fu Chenghai patted his head. " Look at my memory. I almost forgot. "
It was almost dusk when Xia Dong reluctantly said goodbye to Xia Ling and her husband. The two of them sent her to town. Xia Ling held her hands, "Xia, you and Baili Han have a good life. Don't worry about us. "
"Mom, Dad, take care of yourselves. I will come back to visit you very soon. " Xia Dong hugged Xia Ling.
The car had already driven far away and Xia Dong saw the two of them standing by the big tree outside the village and staring at them. She could not help but feel sour in her nose.
The car drove halfway and Baili Han called. His tone was full of concern, "Wife, why aren't you home yet? Did something happen?"
Xia Dong smiled and said gently, "I'm already on the way. I'll be home in about half an hour. Hubby, I want to tell you some good news. "
