Chapter 746: 196: Identification result, confirmed biological! _5 Chapter 746: 196: Identification result, confirmed biological! _5 She never dreamed that one day her biological parents would come looking for her in her lifetime.
This all felt too surreal.
“My daughter, my poor daughter, I’m sorry!” Mrs. Zheng hugged Ni Cuihua again.
Mr. Zheng stood to the side, wiping his tears.
“Why did you abandon me?” Ni Cuihua asked.
This is probably the question deep in the hearts of every abandoned child.
Why did they abandon her?
Since they didn’t want her, why did they give birth to her in the first place?
Thinking back on her past, Ni Cuihua felt an overwhelming sense of injustice.
Her adoptive father had sold her cheaply to Mu Jinbao for money.
At the Mu Family, she had had her fill of life’s bitterness.
Now, seeing her biological parents, she just wanted to understand why.
“My child, I’m sorry, I’m terribly sorry…” Mrs. Zheng sobbed as she recounted the past.
Thirty-five years ago, life was not as prosperous as it is now. The nation was going through a turbulent period, and there was a shortage of talents. Mr. and Mrs. Zheng, due to their unique jobs, had to work 5000 kilometers away from Beijing. At that time, Zheng Tingting was only three years old. The three-year-old Tingting was very smart, not only could she count to one hundred, but she could also recite three hundred Tang poems.
In her free time, Mrs. Zheng would also teach her English. Despite the tough living conditions in the mountainous region, the family of three was very happy.
But their happiness was short-lived. One day, while Mrs. Zheng was taking Tingting to the temple fair, she got lost in the crowd.
Mrs. Zheng was almost distraught and searched for three days and three nights without any sleep but still could not find Tingting.
Mr. Zheng would never forget that day.
The day he found his wife.
Mrs. Zheng had been unrecognizable.
Her once spotlessly clean appearance was now filthy and foul, covered in injuries. She constantly called out for Tingting’s name, but she did not have any tears left to cry.
Perhaps only those who have experienced it can understand a mother’s heart.
Mr. Zheng couldn’t bear to blame her. After his job was done, he took Mrs. Zheng back to Beijing and hired a foreign psychologist to help her.
Mrs. Zheng’s condition improved until Jiang Yan brought Zheng Lingling across the Pacific Ocean to meet her.
Both of them had lost a beloved daughter; both of them had lost a family member. This shared suffering made Mrs. Zheng transfer all her love for her daughter to Zheng Lingling.
But after that, Mrs. Zheng would visit the place where Tingting was lost every year.
They never gave up looking for their daughter, but fate seemed to be constantly playing tricks on them.
Fortunately this time, they finally found her!
“Tingting! My child, we are finally reunited as a family, thanks to God’s will! We will never separate again…” Mrs. Zheng sobbed till she lost her voice.
The news about the Zheng Family had caused quite a stir in Beijing years ago. Shangguan Dehui had heard bits and pieces of it, “Daya, the situation is indeed as Aunt Zheng described. She did not lie.”
Upon Shangguan Dehui’s confirmation, Ni Cuihua let go of her doubts, hugged Mr. and Mrs. Zheng tightly and said, “Mom! Dad!”
“Tingting! My daughter!”
The elderly couple had waited so many years to hear these two words.
The words “Mom” and “Dad” may seem simple.
They consist of only 14 strokes in total.
Probably only Mr. and Mrs. Zheng knew how much effort they had put in to hear this call of “Mom and Dad.”
They had been through so many false alarms.
After the old couple had slightly calmed down, Shangguan Dehui and Ni Cuihua guided them to the living room.
Mr. and Mrs. Zheng would hardly leave Ni Cuihua’s side for a moment. They both held Ni Cuihua’s hand on either side, as if afraid she would disappear the next second.
The elderly couple surrounded Ni Cuihua and talked to her about many things, “Tingting, your full name is Zheng Tingting. Zheng from ‘Zheng ear’, and Ting is the Ting from ‘Pīngtīng’ (graceful). Your dad has two younger brothers, your uncles, and also you have an aunt called Zheng Suyu, she lives in our house.”
Ni Cuihua felt very strange at this moment.
Her surname was originally Zheng.
And her previous name was Zheng Tingting. Besides her parents, she had other relatives.
“Oh yes, Tingting, there’s one more important thing I have to tell you.” Mrs. Zheng continued.
Mrs. Zheng was carefully choosing her words, then she said, “After you were lost, I adopted a daughter who is four years older than you. Her name was Cao Lingrui, but she changed it to Zheng Lingling. Lingling’s mom was your aunt, who was my only sister. Your aunt and her husband died in a plane crash, and only Lingling was left…”
