"Chen'er, Chen'er..."

Yang Ruoqing murmured again, tears streaming down her face.

Chen'er looked stunned. Did she have a nightmare? Why was she crying so hard?

"Wake up..."

Chen'er reached out and pushed Yang Ruoqing gently. Yang Ruoqing opened her eyes, her eyes filled with confusion.

"What's wrong with you?" Chen'er asked next, and handed a handkerchief to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyes that were red from crying and stared blankly at Chen'er who was standing in front of the bed. In her dream just now, she went back to seven years ago, when Chen'er was abandoned at noon, and the sky fell...

"Chen'er!"

Yang Ruoqing suddenly howled and pulled Chen'er over and held her in her arms.

"Chen'er, my Chen'er, don't leave mother again, mother, please, mother is really scared, mother is having nightmares again..."

"In the past seven years, my mother has been dreaming about you being stolen by Qian every now and then. She doesn't dare to sleep anymore. My son, you are finally back. Thank you God, thank you so much... wu wu wu..."

Chen'er originally wanted to push Yang Ruoqing away. To be honest, he was not very used to being held in someone's arms like this.

But when he heard Yang Ruoqing crying and shouting these words, his raised hand dropped again.

"What happened back then? Why didn't you want me?"

Chen'er stood there stiffly, frowning, and after asking this question, her lips pursed into a straight line.

Yang Ruoqing stopped crying, raised her head, sat and stood, just looking at each other.

"Chen'er, with your intelligence, you should know that if your father and I don't want you, how could I show up in Yecheng?"

"And to be honest, before I came to Yecheng, I went to Xiaoyao Village first," she said.

Chen'er's eyes widened in surprise: "What are you doing there?"

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand to touch his face, but he turned his head to avoid it.

Yang Ruoqing laughed bitterly, lowered her hands, and said softly: "What a silly boy. Of course, when I went to Xiaoyao Village, I heard some clues about your whereabouts and rushed to find you."

"Although the search was in vain, it was the biggest gain in my seven-year search for a child."

"It was Brother Wang and Brother Liu who sent me a message saying that you were coming to Yecheng, so I quickly came to find you..."

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, especially the phrase 'the seven-year journey to find a son', Chen'er's heart seemed to have waves starting to rise and fall.

"If I had known this, why bother?" Chen'er said in a deep voice.

Although there was still resentment in his words, his tone was obviously much gentler.

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, and said softly: "Chen'er, all the mistakes you made are all your mother's fault. It was your mother who failed to fulfill her duties as a mother, and that's why you lost me."

"If you blame mother, mother won't blame you, because she deserves it."

"But this time, Mom represents your father, your great-grandfather, your grandma, your father-in-law, your grandma, and the rest of the family. I hope you can give me a bowl of tea and let you explain the causes and consequences of this matter."

Let me tell you carefully."

"Because you have the right to know, okay?" She looked at him with pleading eyes, and her low voice was almost pleading.

Chen'er did not refuse, and sat down with Yang Ruoqing holding his hand.

Yang Ruoqing took a deep breath, looked at Chen'er, and said, "Before I talk about this, let me introduce you to the relationship between the family members..."

Yang Ruoqing first introduced the composition of the family to Chen'er, including the old Yang family, the second uncle Yang Hualin and the Qian family...

He talked about Chen'er's childhood and his twin sister Luo Baobao.

He talked about how Qian Shi diverted his anger, taking advantage of Sun Shi's break to cook in the backyard kitchen, imitating a cat's meow to attract Xiao Duo who was guarding the cradle, and then secretly took Chen'er away.

Qian left Chen'er on the edge of the cliff and ran away...

"Your father and I found one of your little shoes on the edge of the cliff, and we collapsed at that time,"

Recalling the past, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but tremble all over, her hands were cold and her face was even pale.

"Your father said you might have fallen off a cliff. It was a cliff thousands of feet deep. Your father grabbed the vines and fell down..."

"We couldn't find it at the bottom of the cliff, so we continued searching at the houses in the nearby mountains and asked around, and finally we got some clues," she said.

"What clue?" Chen'er asked.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Villagers from nearby villages said that not long ago a middle-aged man passed by the village with a several-month-old baby boy. The baby was so hungry that he cried. The middle-aged man also helped the baby ask for milk and rice soup in the village.

.”

"They also said that the middle-aged man asked them to help find out if any children in the nearby villages were missing. Obviously the middle-aged man was not a bad person who wanted to abduct and traffic children..."

"He is indeed not a bad person. He is the best person to me in the world. I call him grandfather." Chen'er interrupted.

Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, a hint of gratitude and a hint of loss flashed across her eyes.

"Yes, fortunately, he raised you up so well and educated you so well. He is a great benefactor to our family!" Yang Ruoqing continued.

"When we got the news and rushed to the village, we were told that the middle-aged man suddenly received a letter and had left the village a few hours ago."

"No one in the village knows where he went with his child. They only know that it is the east. But the east is so big, where should we look for it?"

Speaking of this, Yang Ruoqing sighed softly, her face full of exhaustion and helplessness.

"We have been looking for you these years, and have made promises of heavy rewards through many channels."

"We receive probably hundreds of clues from strangers a year. We have met with hundreds of suspected children. Over the past few years, we have met almost hundreds of them, but none of them are you."

"Then I heard news from somewhere that someone in Licheng in the south had seen a child who looked like our son. Your father and I took your sister and hurried to the south."

"Your father usually doesn't talk much and is a silent person, but he hides everything in his heart."

"Because he was too worried and anxious, he almost went crazy and became so ill that he almost died. In the end, he finally saved his life, but your father lost his memory for almost a year."

"I remember everything except that he gave birth to a son. The doctor said that the human head is a very strange thing,"

"Those most painful things will be selectively forgotten. Your father is like this, but later he still remembered it and almost collapsed again..."

Speaking of this, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but think of the hardships of that year, couldn't help but bury her head, cover her mouth and sob.

A small hand gently placed on her shoulder and patted her gently.

Yang Ruoqing turned her head and happened to meet Chen'er's eyes.

Just like the way mother and son looked at each other when he was drinking milk as a baby, warmth and concern flowed in each other's eyes.

"Mom, I understand." He said softly.

"Today I finally understand that I am not a child who was abandoned by my parents. I have parents who love me very much and have never given up on me."
