Shen Tingxi nodded.
Seeing Shen Tingxi nod, the woman burst into tears. She turned to the door and shouted, "Old Zhao, Old Zhao, come out quickly!"
A man's voice came from the room. "What are you shouting for? I'm watching TV. "
"Old Zhao, Ping 'er … Ping' er …" The woman cried emotionally and couldn't finish her sentence.
The sound of something falling to the ground came from the room. A few seconds later, a man in his fifties ran out of the room and looked around. "Where is Ping 'er?"
The woman pulled Shen Tingxi's hand. "He … he is Ning Ning's boyfriend."
Old Zhao ran to Shen Tingxi and his hand holding a cigarette was shaking. "Are you really Ning Ning's boyfriend?"
Shen Tingxi nodded.
Old Zhao looked behind Shen Tingxi for a moment, but he didn't see the person he wanted to see at the end of the village. He looked away and said coldly, "I don't know Ning Ning." Then he turned and walked to the door.
"Old Zhao … Old Zhao …" The woman called twice with tears in her eyes. Old Zhao didn't look back and said, "Don't come back if you dare." Then he went back into the house.
The woman wiped away her tears and turned to look at Shen Tingxi. "He's always like this. In his heart, he actually misses Ping 'er and her mother …" The woman realized something and hurriedly said, "Come in, come in. Let's talk inside."
Shen Tingxi nodded.
The woman walked two steps back and was about to pick up the bucket on the ground.
Shen Tingxi picked it up first. "Let me do it."
The woman said, "No, give it to me. I don't want you to get wet."
Shen Tingxi smiled politely. "It's okay. I'll do it."
The woman's hand paused in the air and she took it back. She nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "Okay."
The two of them entered the house. The woman took the bucket and pointed to a chair for Shen Tingxi to sit. Then she took the bucket into the kitchen and came out with a cup of tea. She handed it to Shen Tingxi. "Have some tea."
"Thank you." Shen Tingxi stood up, took the teacup, and placed it on the old wooden table in front of him.
The woman turned her head and glanced at the closed door. Then, she turned back to Shen Tingxi and said, "Don't mind him. He has a bad temper."
Shen Tingxi knew that the woman was talking about Old Zhao. He shook his head to indicate that it was alright.
The woman sat down across from Shen Tingxi and asked impatiently, "Are Ping 'er and Ning Ning … all right?"
Shen Tingxi thought about it. Some things couldn't be hidden from her forever, so he told her the truth. "Aunt Zhao has passed away …"
The door of the next room was pulled open from the inside. Lao Zhao looked at Shen Tingxi excitedly, "What do you think happened to Ping'er?"
Shen Tingxi glanced at Lao Zhao and then at the woman who was trembling with tears in her eyes but still looking at him with a glimmer of hope. He said with some difficulty, "Aunt Zhao has passed away."
"Ah … Ah …" The woman's face was pale. She screamed twice as if she couldn't catch her breath. She clutched her chest tightly. After two seconds, tears streamed down her face. She cried and shouted, "Ping'er … My Ping'er …"
Lao Zhao staggered twice and leaned heavily against the door. His eyes instantly turned cloudy.
The room was shrouded in grief and anger. Shen Tingxi didn't know how to comfort him. He could only sit quietly and drink his tea.
After a while, the crying and sobbing slowly calmed down.
Lao Zhao was angry that his daughter had left home with his granddaughter without a word. Moreover, they had left for ten years without any news. When he saw Shen Tingxi, he was so angry that he turned around and went back to the house. Now that he knew that his daughter had passed away, his anger disappeared. He sat beside his wife and asked Shen Tingxi, "Where is Ning Ning? Is she doing well now? "
"Ning Ning is in Fan City. She works at a construction company." Shen Tingxi didn't have the heart to tell his parents, who were still grieving over the loss of their daughter, that Mu Ning Jing's situation wasn't very good.
"Working is good." In Lao Zhao's mind, working meant that he could support himself and earn money. It was a good thing.
"Fan City is very far away," the woman murmured. Her voice was a little hoarse from crying. Suddenly, she looked at Shen Tingxi and asked, "Why didn't Ning Ning come back?"
"If you want to see her, I'll bring her over next time." Shen Tingxi thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm here this time mainly to find out about Ning Ning's background and help her find her biological father."
When Lao Zhao heard this, anger appeared in his cloudy eyes. "I also want to know who that bastard is. He doesn't care anymore after pulling up his pants. He made Ping'er suffer so much grievance and disdain. "
The woman cried and said, "Ping'er, that silly child, was willing to be disdained by others to give birth to the child. She didn't even mention the child's father."
Shen Tingxi was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhao Xiangping's parents to not know who Ning Ning's father was. He thought for a moment and asked, "Then do you know Mu Yiqing?"
Lao Zhao shook his head.
"Why does this name sound a little familiar?" The woman thought for a few seconds and suddenly grabbed Lao Zhao's arm. "Didn't Ping'er bring a classmate home one summer? I think that classmate was called Mu Yiqing. "
Lao Zhao thought for a moment and still didn't have any recollection.
The woman said, "He was tall and skinny, fair and clean. I remember now. His name was Mu Yiqing. He said that he was the class monitor in the class. His home was in town and he came to the countryside with a few classmates to play. That year, he happened to be in time to harvest rice at home. That boy even stayed behind to help for half a day. I remember that he came to our house a few times after that.
Lao Zhao frowned and thought for a moment. As if he suddenly had an epiphany, he nodded. "There was such a person."
The woman suddenly remembered that when Shen Tingxi said Ning Ning's name outside, he said Mu Ning Jing. Ning Ning's full name was Zhao Ning. How did it become Mu Ning Jing? Could it be that Ping'er changed the child's name after taking Ning Ning away?
Mu Yiqing, Mu Ning Jing.
The woman looked at Shen Tingxi nervously. "You mean Mu Yiqing is Ning Ning's father?"
Shen Tingxi nodded. "That's very likely."
"It's him. It's definitely him." The woman stood up a little agitatedly. "Ping'er has never brought a classmate home except for Mu Yiqing. Also, I once found a two-inch photo of Mu Yiqing under Ping'er's pillow when I was cleaning up her room. I asked Ping'er about it and she said that it was a school photo. The class monitor left the homework with her and she wanted to return it to him. Ping'er has always been obedient and sensible, so I didn't think too much about it. Now that I think about it, the two of them were probably dating at that time."
"Why didn't you mention this to me?" Lao Zhao stood up and walked towards the door angrily. "I'm going to beat that bastard to death."
The woman stood up and pulled Lao Zhao back. "You don't even know where he is. How are you going to beat him?"
"..." Lao Zhao was also confused by his anger. He was speechless at his wife's question. (Reborn Genius Sweetheart Wife … 117117400)
