"It's okay. She won't take my life." Tang Bao walked toward the woman in front of him.
The headlights illuminated her thoroughly. Her face seemed to be even more haggard than the last time they met.
From beginning to end, she had the image of a country woman.
It didn't look like she was faking it. The hardships on her face could be seen clearly.
When Tang Bao stood in front of her, the middle-aged woman slowly raised her head and looked at Tang Bao.
Tang Bao didn't like the look in her eyes. It would have been fine if it was fierce, resentful, or angry, but she was begging.
Begging for what?
She had nothing to give her.
"If you want to talk to me, stand up," Tang Bao said.
The middle-aged woman seemed to hesitate for a moment before standing up.
She wasn't as tall as Tang Bao, and she was on the plump side. She dressed and looked like a village woman.
Tang Bao really wanted to know where this person came from.
Tang Bao looked to the side and said, "Let's find a place to sit down and talk?"
The middle-aged woman nodded.
Tang Bao said to the driver, "See if the car can still be driven. If it can't, find someone to fix it."
"Yes."
Tang Bao turned and walked into the coffee shop next door, ignoring the woman behind her.
She knew that this woman had something to say to her, so she didn't have to worry that she wouldn't follow her.
After entering the coffee shop, she found a seat by the window and sat down.
The night outside shrouded the city streets, but the scenery in front of her was beautifully embellished.
Tang Bao looked at it for a moment before retracting her gaze and looking at the woman sitting in front of her.
She was very unfamiliar. Only unfamiliar.
Even if her family didn't live a rich life in the past, they wouldn't be as poor as she was.
When the coffee was served, the woman seemed to have never seen it before. She stared at the liquid in the cup as if she didn't know if she could drink it.
Tang Bao ignored her and said, "Just say what you want to say!"
"You should know why I'm here."
"Sorry, I don't know anything. I'm a complete stranger to you, "Tang Bao said expressionlessly.
"No, you're a stranger to me, but you're raising my daughter."
"Are you joking? Would I raise your daughter? It's not like I can't have children. Why should I raise your daughter? "Tang Bao sneered.
"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I can't blame you. I'm the one who lost my daughter. I'm very grateful that you raised her. If it weren't for you, I don't know what my daughter would be like. "Pan Yuehua said with tears in her eyes.
He couldn't help but wipe his face with his hand.
"I sympathize with you for losing your daughter, but I still want to know what happened."
"I'm sure you can tell that I'm not from this city. I'm not even from the suburbs. I live in a small village far away. It was very backward and poor. The first time I came to Imperial City, I was shocked. I felt like the people here were from a different world. But in order to find my daughter, I'm going all out. In our world, the concept of favoring males over females is very strong, to the point that we can disregard everything. After I got married, my first child was a daughter. My parents-in-law gave me the cold shoulder, but they didn't express their resentment. I also know that only after I got married and gave birth to a son would I have the value of being a daughter-in-law. So, I continued to give birth. But my second and third children were all daughters. At that time, my parents-in-law's attitude toward me was already bad. But I had no choice and continued to give birth quietly. Until my sixth child, it was still a daughter. "
"In other words, you gave birth to six daughters in a row?" Tang Bao asked in disbelief.
"Yes."
Should Tang Bao be amazed that this woman was too good at giving birth but had no luck with sons, or should she be glad that her father didn't have the concept of favoring males over females?
Otherwise, if she gave birth to a daughter, wouldn't she have to give birth until she had a son?
But in the end, the pitiful ones were the women.
It was not that Tang Bao looked down on her mother. With her mother's body, she definitely couldn't give birth to so many children.
Looking at this woman's face, she must be much older than her actual age.
How could she not be old after giving birth to so many children?
"Then did you give birth to a son in the end?" Tang Bao couldn't help but be curious.
"No."
"…" How tragic.
"You know, my place is very poor. I gave birth to six children in a row, and my family was so poor that we didn't have anything to eat. Even food and clothing were problems. "
Tang Bao thought that this was the feudal concept that the poorer one was, the more one had to give birth, and the more one had to give birth, the poorer one would be.
"So, when the sixth child was a daughter, the family really had no rice to eat, so my husband wanted to sell the sixth daughter. Of course, I didn't agree, but I had no choice. At that time, I was pregnant again. My husband said that if I couldn't give birth to a son, he would divorce me. But the last child was still a daughter. I didn't want to get a divorce, so my husband got together with another woman. That daughter also got pregnant, but she didn't give birth to a son. So, later on, my husband mentioned divorce less often. But when I looked at my daughter, I would always think of the daughter who was sold. I felt guilty and had nightmares at night. I always dreamed of bad things. So, I went to look for my sixth daughter behind my husband's back, but I heard that those who sold children had lost my daughter. I had lost all hope, but one day, someone from the same village told me that my daughter had been found. I followed that person's words and found the orphanage in the town. But the director of the orphanage in the town said that the child had been taken away. After I begged, the director was finally willing to tell me that the person who took the child away was from the Di family. So, I found Di Junbai. Di Junbai said that he only had a son, and only his elder brother had a daughter. Then, I saw the little girl at the entrance of the kindergarten. The moment I laid eyes on the child, I knew it was the child I had been sold for. That child followed you into the car, and I remembered you. "
Tang Bao felt that it was very ironic after listening to such a long story. "Are you making up a story?"
"What I said is true! When my daughter was born, there was a red birthmark on her inner thigh. It was blood-red, and it was as big as a fingernail. "
Tang Bao's heart suddenly sank. It was as if a huge rock had suddenly pressed down on her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe.
But in the next moment, she endured the discomfort and said without any expression on her face, "I'm really sorry, my daughter doesn't have a single birthmark on her body. Not to mention this birthmark that you're talking about. I think you must have made a mistake. If you have the time to pester me, why don't you go look for your biological daughter again? "
"No, I'm very sure that that's my daughter!"
