Chapter 1566: Chapter 1035: Helping Out (2)
That was also a mother who had just given birth, except her child was lost two days after birth. Knowing our situation, her mother-in-law took the initiative to find me, and after much hesitation, I agreed.
Of course, I was unwilling, but to let the children survive, I could only make that choice. For this, I secretly cried under the covers for a whole night.
That family also feared I would change my mind, so they brought the child and left the hospital the next day. To be honest, at the moment I couldn’t see them, I regretted it. But despite trying all means, I couldn’t find that family, and could only give up.
Later, your grandfather and your father came back. I asked them to find the eldest child, they agreed, but eventually told me to leave it as it is. If we wanted the child back, it would cost two more lives.
So..." Yanqiu sighed heavily, bitterly smiled, "I can only accept reality. Over the years, I forced myself never to think about this matter. Family members, even more so, avoided discussing it."
"Does Mikang himself know?"
"He doesn’t know, aside from your eldest brother, no one knows..." Yanqiu sighed again, "You see your eldest brother cannot compare to Xiaomi, but he’s also very smart and talented.
When the Xiaomi brothers were born, he went to see them, so he knows about this matter. Later, he asked where the other little brother went. I told him, don’t mention this to anyone, otherwise, Mom would be sad, he never mentioned it again."
Actually, even now, I am not sure if he truly understands this matter. Anyway, ever since Mom talked with him, he has acted as if he knows nothing about it."
After pondering for a moment, Chuxia understood Lin Yanqiu’s meaning: "Mom is now taking me to see Zhu Jianwen, because you want me to use the reason of recognizing mistakenly to go?"
"Xia..." Lin Yanqiu looked at her daughter-in-law with anxiety, "Mom knows this is not right, but..." She bit her lip, after all, he is Mom’s biological son that she carried for ten months.
Back then, giving him away was a last resort. Later, I couldn’t go find him either, because your dad and grandpa always hid his address, even if I wanted to go find him, I had no way to start.
Mom thought about investigating herself, but if really doing so, it would make your grandpa and dad particularly disappointed. Weighing the options, Mom had to keep this matter to herself.
This time, someone mistook him, specially called to ask me how Xiaomi reinstated before I knew where he was. When I went to verify, I happened to encounter Lin Zhiling.
She was quite straightforward, asking if I was also there for the matter of Zhu Jianwen. I told her about this past, she was rather upset, saying because of her misunderstanding, it might have misled you.
Originally, she was going to come and explain to you herself, but I asked her not to speak out about this. I wanted to find you personally and go see Zhu Jianwen together with me.
Xia, Mom doesn’t mean anything else, another family raised him, and back then, it was Mom who nodded for that family to secretly take him away. Therefore, Mom doesn’t blame them, nor wants to take him forcibly back.
But Mom wants to see him personally. Mom knows this approach is somewhat selfish, but Mom can’t control her thoughts. This time, Mom didn’t even tell your grandma.
Xia, if you’re not willing to help Mom, Mom won’t blame you either. Actually, Mom just feels if she were to go alone, it would surely arouse suspicion, so..."
Chuxia interrupted Lin Yanqiu’s explanation: "Mom, I understand your feelings, I’ll help you."
"I just knew, my precious daughter-in-law would surely stand by me..." Lin Yanqiu happily embraced Chuxia’s shoulders, "Mom owes you a favor, if you ever have any difficult matters, ask Mom to help, Mom will definitely promise you."
Chuxia joked with a smile: "Alright, Mom, this debt you owe is big, be careful not to regret it then."
In her mind, she also felt Lin Yanqiu’s actions were a bit cruel, but the other party’s actions back then were not completely straightforward either, it’s not too much to describe as striking at someone in difficulty. Therefore, whether right or wrong, she would cooperate with Lin Yanqiu’s approach.
...
When actually seeing Zhu Jianwen, Chuxia was also stunned. Even though she had heard Lin Zhiling’s description beforehand and was mentally prepared, seeing it with her own eyes was too unbelievable!
The two brothers grew up in completely different backgrounds, yet in appearance and aura, they were remarkably alike. If there was any difference to be stated, it was that Zhu Jianwen’s gaze was somewhat softer.
