“At that time, I was clearly afraid that someone would not pick it up even if they saw it on the road. I squatted not far away and watched until I saw some people see the child.
“One of them even adopted the child and said that he wanted to bring it back to raise it. He couldn’t let the baby die on the road.
“He said that life would be tough, but if he saved a little, he could still raise the child. When that happened, only then did 1 feel relieved and left. That person adopted the child and brought it back.
“Every day, 1 would think to myself, would he treat the child badly? I harmed that child, so I deserve this retribution.’
As he said that, Laicai began to cry.
He blamed himself.
Finally, Xue Yan said, “I’m sure that person is very good to that child. That child will have to thank you. If it wasn’t for you, he wouldn’t have such a good father, such a good mother, and such a good life..” Speaking up to this point, Xue Yan’s voice stopped, and did not continue speaking. Only after a long while did he say, “Actually, I’m that child.”
No matter how much he said, it was not as convincing as this sentence.
The old man immediately stopped crying and stared at him foolishly. Xiuhua also stared at him foolishly. After a while, they all cried even harder and almost knelt down in front of him. They cried and said, “It’s good that you’re fine. I’m very happy. You don’t know how upset we’ve been all these years.”
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue hurriedly supported them and didn’t let them kneel.
After a while, Laicai and Xiuhua stopped crying. Both of them smiled as if they had been relieved of a heavy burden.
They could finally live in peace.
In the past, they had always been tortured by this matter and felt that they didn’t deserve to have such a life.
“Thank you for coming.” Laicai smiled and looked at Xue Yan. “My wife and I feel much better now.”
“Yes, yes.” The lady nodded with a smile.
“Actually, we’re here to ask you to help us testify about something.” Xue Yan said truthfully. “I want you to tell them everything you know. When the time comes, I’ll have to trouble you to come with us. We can’t tell you when you’ll be back.”
Up till here, Xue Yan stood up and solemnly cupped his hands together again,
giving a bow.
Laicai quickly held his arms. “There’s no need to be so polite. We have been helped by others all these years. If we can still help others, we will be very willing to help you. However, we are very old and our legs have gone weak. Even if we follow you, we probably won’t be able to go far.”
“There’s a carriage.”
“That’s possible.” Laicai looked at Xiuhua and nodded as he said.
“l still have something to ask you.” Xue Yan said.
“You can ask anything.” Laicai was still very kind. In the past, he had a good heart. After coming to this village for a few years, he learned that the villagers here were all kind people. Both he and his wife were then nurtured to be kind. If they could, they would always offer to help.
“When you left me at that time, did anyone else see it?” Xue Yan said. If someone saw it and could find that person, then their whole plan would be flawless.
Jiang Yue also felt that this was more invulnerable, so she naturally looked at the old man.
“There’s still some distance between the Wei family and the place where I placed you,” said the old man. “I’m sure there were many people who would see you. At that time, I had been in the county for many years, so I could even recognize quite a few people..”
