"At the end of June, not long after her confinement, she received a telegram," Mayor Di said softly. "She seemed to have said that her husband had sacrificed himself. I didn't want to ask her about the details, and she didn't want to talk about it either. So when she said that she wanted to go, I agreed."
Xie Xuning nodded his head.
He turned around and asked his grandmother.
"Mom, did Linlang not come back after she left at the end of June?"
"She didn't come back."
Grandma's voice was exceptionally hoarse. She had always thought that this small town was peaceful and quiet, but there were actually so many people with such evil thoughts.
At the end of June 1988, Ye Linlang packed her things and left the town of Jiameng after she received a telegram.
She never came back after that.
"After that, Lu Jijun came once and said that he wanted to take Tianxin away. I didn't agree, so I didn't give it to him. That day, he brought Tianxin and I to the city and bought clothes for Tianxin."
Every time she talked about what had happened more than ten years ago, it was as if she had dug a wound in her heart.
Before the old wound could heal, new scars would appear.
"After that, the people in town said that Linlang was gone and asked me to identify the body. At that time, I brought Tianxin with me, thinking that if this was really Linlang, I could at least let Tianxin see her mother for the last time. I wanted to know … I wanted to know … that you would come. I wanted to know that they would spout nonsense. I wouldn't have left … "
The mistakes that those people had made, whether intentionally or unintentionally, had caused the three of them to lose the most precious time in their lives.
"Alright, Grandma, it's okay. All this time, there hasn't been any news about Mom. I think that no news is the best news. She must be living in some corner of the world. Maybe one day, she will come back."
Ye Tianxin comforted her grandmother, but she couldn't comfort Xie Xuning.
She knew that Xie Xuning must be in a bad mood.
But what could she say?
"Mom, Tianxin, I'm going out to make a call."
Xie Xuning couldn't help but ask Xi Wang again.
"Alright."
Xie Xuning slowly returned to the courtyard. He stood under the old pear tree and stretched out his hand to touch the tree trunk. Under the green leaves above his head, there were pears. The tree was full of pears, symbolizing the joy of harvest.
Xie Xuning clutched his chest and gasped for air. The pain was like a tide, almost drowning him.
His Linlang, his wonderful Linlang, how could her fate be so rough?
Would he and Linlang ever meet again in this lifetime?
"Xi Wang, I'm in the town of Jiameng now."
There was a rare calmness in Xie Xuning's voice.
Xi Wang keenly sensed that something was wrong with Xie Xuning's voice.
"You went back again?"
"Linlang is not dead. She must still be alive."
Xi Wang sighed and said, "Xuning, I'm going to do a DNA paternity test for you again. This time, I'm going to do it myself. When you come back, let's do it again."
"No, there's no need to do it." Xie Xuning refused.
Tianxin was his daughter. She must be his daughter.
There was nothing wrong with his feelings about this.
As for the so-called scientific basis, he didn't want to know.
Based on Tianxin's birthday, Tianxin was his daughter.
