Chapter 2 Lost and Found

【1】

Li Yue'e's adoptive mother saw that her daughter's two children were admitted to prestigious schools, and she couldn't help but say, "Daughter, if your own father and mother saw the two children so competitive, how happy they would be!" The four granddaughters' eyes widened in surprise and they asked in unison, "Ah, my mother is not your own?" The old woman hurriedly covered her mouth. The old man complained to his wife, which pot was not opened.

Li Yue'e immediately became sad, she went to the inner room, took out a package from a cabinet, and as soon as she came out, she said, In fact, this matter has been pressing on my heart for many years. I don't want to say it, the children would never have thought that Mom, I am the daughter that your kind grandma and grandpa picked up. If you look at this package, it's the same outfit I was wearing when I ran out of my house when I was a kid and was stolen by traffickers. Everyone's mouths opened in astonishment, and even her husband didn't know the secret of the dress.

"Wen Yaniang, hurry up and tell me what's going on?" Zhang Guangming asked curiously.

The children asked:

"Mom, then my grandmother, who is grandpa?"

"Where is the second elder now?"

Li Yue's eyes were glazed, and she sat there silently like a fool, as if the tragic scenes from before appeared in front of her. Zhang Guangming waved his hand to the children and motioned for them to stop asking.

The mother was silent for a while before opening the conversation: "Hey, I don't know, whose child I am." When I was a child, I was sold by traffickers to a childless family. For as long as I can remember, my adoptive father was a man who ate, drank, prostituted, gambled, and did not do his job, while my adoptive mother was a very diligent person. She went to the landlord's house every day to do laundry, cook, clean up, and take care of the landlord's young children. I vividly remember one day, my adoptive father, who was not angry, came back from drinking and grabbed my adoptive mother and asked for money, but my adoptive mother would not give it to him. The adoptive mother said angrily: 'I will never give you any more money, I have earned it every day and I have given it to you, have you not squandered it once? Li Yue'e said this, her tears flowing. The whole family also cried. She choked up and continued, "I cried and shouted, 'Daddy don't hit Mommy, don't hit Mommy.' But my adoptive father didn't stop, and he pushed me back all at once. As she spoke, tears raining down.

The children cried and said, "That grandma and mother are so pitiful." Zhang Guangming and his current father-in-law and mother-in-law also said the same. "Every time he asked for money, as long as my adoptive mother wouldn't give it to him, he would beat my adoptive mother violently. I remember the last time he hit the hardest, and he completely chilled my adoptive mother's heart. My poor adoptive mother was so discouraged that she hit the wall and died! Woo woo......" Li Yue'e burst into tears again.

Everyone also began to cry with a whimper. "When she was dying, she said to me, 'I am an orphan begging on the street, and I want food to come to his house, and he coaxes me sweetly and coaxes me that he will be good to me for the rest of his life, but I didn't expect him to be a lazy and ruthless villain! My adoptive mother was bleeding from a hole in her head, and my adoptive father slammed the door and walked away. As soon as I saw it, I said I was going to the doctor. The adoptive mother said, 'Don't go to the doctor, it's too late.' Immediately I was so frightened that I began to cry. When my adoptive mother was dying, she said to me, 'You are a girl bought by your adoptive father!' I have always kept the clothes you wore when I bought you in the cupboard, just so that one day you can take this dress and recognize your own parents!' I called my neighbors to wrap up the body of my poor and pathetic adoptive mother with a straw mat on the bed and bury it in my adoptive father's ancestral grave. I cried alone for three days and three nights! I thought, where can I go if I have no one to rely on? I can only continue to live by begging on the streets! Later, I asked for food to go to a businessman's house, which is now your grandfather's house, and it was their second elder who adopted me. I was very fortunate that my second adoptive father and adoptive mother were especially kind to me. Her adoptive father and adoptive mother nodded as they wiped away tears from their faces. Li Yuet'e continued, "My second father opened a cloth shop and clothing store in Shanghai. He does high, medium and low-end cloth business. Li Yue'e's adoptive father and adoptive mother nodded again. "I remember one time, I followed my father to Suzhou to buy fabric, and the pattern of Suzhou embroidery immediately attracted me. I can't put it down and look left and right. My dad said to me, 'What?' do you like Suzhou embroidery?' I nodded, 'Then I'll take you to see and see the Shu, Hunan and Guangdong embroidery' from then on I fell in love with the four famous embroideries. The two elders are really kind to me! You must honor your grandmother and grandfather well in the future!" the four daughters nodded solemnly. Zhang Guangming was full of emotion when he heard this.

At this time, Ouyang Dongning, the director of the canning factory, entered the door, and as soon as he saw this small dress, he immediately opened his eyes and asked, "Who is this dress?"

Li Yue'e immediately replied: "I wore it when I was a child!"

"Could it be ......," Zhang Guangming said, "I have long found out that Wen Yaniang looks a little similar to my godfather and godmother!" The others were stunned. They look at the two of them, and they do look a little alike.

"Eh, it's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, but my own daughter is in front of me! My daughter, I'm your real father!ah! haha......" Ouyang hugged Li Yue'e and cried with joy.

Li Yue'e didn't understand what was going on? She stood there motionless. Zhang Guangming was also so happy that he burst into tears. The children and their mother's adoptive father, as well as their adoptive mother, were all stunned by this sudden scene. One by one the words are incoherent:

"This, this ......"

"That'......?"

Ouyang Dongning said: "I recognize this dress, the day my daughter was taken away by traffickers, you were wearing this dress! If you don't believe it, just look inside the jacket, your own mother also embroidered the words "Ouyang Fang." It's the name I gave you!" everyone hula gathered around to check, and sure enough, her real name was embroidered on her coat pocket.

Zhang Guangming immediately said: "Godfather, sit down and talk, no, no, now it's my father-in-law!"

Ouyang Dongning not only found his own daughter, but also a capable and filial son-in-law, as well as four such cute, sensible, and smart granddaughters. can make Ouyang Dongning happy beyond words. He kept bowing to his daughter's adoptive father Li Yongjian and adoptive mother Wang Dongxue, and sincerely said words of gratitude. Everyone laughed heartily, and everyone present congratulated their parents on their reunion after a long absence.
