It was a quiet morning 24 years ago, when Huang Zhengxiang woke up from the ashes of losing his wife. He rushed to his wife's hospital and spared no effort to assist the doctor, but during childbirth, his wife died of massive hemorrhage.
Huang Zhengxiang was shocked and grieved, and suddenly saw the nurse hand over a small life, which was the only blood between him and his deceased wife, and he vowed to use all his strength to raise her as an adult.
However, fate is always so unpredictable, and Huang's parents are deeply divided at this critical time. "You're so young, it's too hard to raise a child on your own, why don't you let us help you with that?" said the mother with concern.
The father's attitude was very firm: "Keeping this child will only destroy the harmony of the family! Give her away as soon as possible, so that you can find your own happiness again."
Faced with his parents' advice, Huang Zhengxiang was in a dilemma. At this moment, Alain, who had come to visit, walked into his field of vision. Alan is the new fiancée chosen by Huang Zhengxiang's parents for him, and her beautiful appearance made Huang Zhengxiang lose himself for a while.
When Alain saw the baby in swaddling clothes, her brow immediately furrowed, and her face showed extreme disgust. "How can we allow a baby to be an obstacle in our newly established marriage?
Under the temptation of Alain, Huang Zhengxiang began to waver. His mother's dying pleas still seemed to be echoing in his ears, and he knew that his wife wanted him to cherish the child.
However, Alain's charm made him irresistible, and a strong desire to start life anew welled up in his heart.
So, under the persuasion of his family and the inducement of Alain, Huang Zhengxiang made a decision that he regretted for the rest of his life - he handed over his only daughter to his parents, so that he could completely free himself from the burden of parenting and devote himself to a new life with Alain.
Twenty-four years have passed in a hurry, and now Huang Zhengxiang has entered his old age. The impulsiveness and ignorance of the past have turned into endless regrets and self-blame under the tempering of the years.
Alain has never been able to realize his dream of becoming pregnant in the past years, and his family situation is extremely cold, and he is the only one who faces the challenges of life alone. Huang Zhengxiang began to think deeply, reviewing the incredible decision back then, and deeply felt that he despised and neglected the little life back then, and if he could take care of the baby in swaddling clothes, maybe his life would change today.
Therefore, Huang Zhengxiang made up his mind that no matter what the cost, he would find his abandoned daughter to make up for the mistakes he had made. However, the clues are too vague, his parents have died, and the investigation has become extremely difficult.
Just when Huang Zhengxiang was feeling physically and mentally exhausted, an enthusiastic villager reached out to him, bringing him new hope. The villager told him that there was a young woman in the village who looked like Huang Zhengxiang, named Cheng Li, and that she was also an adopted child.
After hearing the news, Huang Zhengxiang's heart was instantly agitated, and he immediately grabbed the villagers to ask for details. After learning Cheng Li's specific location, he immediately gathered his relatives and friends and rushed to the village together.
Along the way, Huang Zhengxiang was in a surging mood, full of expectation and desire.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the strange expression of an old man aroused everyone's alarm. They stepped forward to inquire about Cheng Li's whereabouts, but the old man ignored her.
Huang Zhengxiang and the others looked at each other, and their hearts were full of suspicions.
So they decided to quietly follow the strange old man and try to find more clues. As expected, at the old man's home, they witnessed a young woman about twenty years old walking out of the house.
I saw that the woman's black hair fluttered in the wind, and her white dress danced in the wind, and the whole person exuded a fresh and refined temperament.
Huang Zhengxiang's call alarmed the woman in white, and she suddenly turned around, a look of shock and anger on her face.
"Who are you, why do you always follow me and make a loud noise in front of my house?" Cheng Li asked sternly, her eyes full of vigilance.
Seeing this, Huang Zhengxiang hurriedly stepped forward to explain his intention. I saw him bend his knees, and he knelt on the ground, and said in a sincere tone: "Miss, I'm so excited.
Cheng Li was obviously shocked by Huang Zhengxiang's actions, and her face became extremely solemn. At this moment, two silver-haired elders came quickly, guarding Cheng Li tightly, and glared at Huang Zhengxiang angrily.
"When we first adopted Cheng Li, your child had not yet been born, and you didn't want to treat her as your own daughter!" the old man spoke fiercely, and even waved his fist at Huang Zhengxiang.
The atmosphere at the scene was tense to the extreme, as if it was about to erupt. Although Huang Zhengxiang has a glimmer of hope, in the face of such a resolute denial from his adoptive parents, endless confusion and doubts also emerged in his heart.
Just as the two sides were arguing and exchanging words, a middle-aged man arrived in time and successfully resolved the dispute that was about to get out of control.
"Guys, why bother arguing here, why don't we ask an authoritative expert to do a paternity test and solve all the problems?"
Huang Zhengxiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and paternity testing is undoubtedly the wisest choice at present. He immediately agreed, looking forward to confirming that Cheng Li was his blood relative through this identification.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Cheng family's parents strongly opposed this proposal.
In the face of Huang Zhengxiang's earnest request, Cheng Li hesitated, but finally shook her head firmly. "Sorry, I can't take a paternity test. She said in a resolute tone, "No matter what the outcome is, the Cheng family's parents will always be my dearest parents.
After speaking, Cheng Li turned around and walked indoors, and Huang Zhengxiang and the others had to follow. In the room, Cheng Li told her life story.
"I knew I was an adopted child since I was a child, but Cheng's parents never made me feel any difference in intimacy. They treated me as their own and gave me meticulous love and care.
Cheng Li recalls that although her family was not financially wealthy, her parents still spared no expense to support her to complete her studies until she was admitted to university with excellent grades.
After graduating from college, Cheng Li found an ideal career in the city, and tied the knot with her boyfriend who had been in love for many years, starting the best time of her life.
"Not long ago, I became a mother, and it was supposed to be the happiest moment of my life.
When they heard about these remarks, everyone at the scene was speechless. As the perpetrator, Huang Zhengxiang felt deeply guilty, bowed his head silently, and was silent. The two parents of the Cheng family resolutely stepped forward, tightly surrounded their daughter, and glared at everyone present.
We treat Cheng Li as if we were our own daughter, and do our best to raise her as an adult, so that she has never suffered any grievances.
Mother said excitedly, her eyes glinting with anger.
Seeing her mother's indignant demeanor, Cheng Li's tears gradually filled her eyes. She said firmly and forcefully: "No matter what reason you come here, I will never agree to take a paternity test! The Cheng family will always be my relatives, and I will always stick to this belief."
Faced with Cheng Li's resolute position, Huang Zhengxiang couldn't help but laugh dumbly. He sighed deeply in his heart, yes, the grace of nurturing is far greater than the grace of procreation.
His original decision was undoubtedly a permanent separation from this biological flesh and blood.
Looking at Cheng Li's attitude towards avoiding herself, Huang Zhengxiang had mixed feelings in his heart. Indeed, it was precisely because of his decision back then that he left his flesh and blood behind with his own hands, and now he will end up in such a lonely and desolate situation.
The past came back to Huang Zhengxiang's mind like a movie picture: it was early one morning 24 years ago, and he was awakened by the painful cries for help from his wife, who was going through a life-and-death birth.
Huang Zhengxiang still clearly remembers his panic and helplessness.
With the best efforts of doctors and nurses, his wife finally gave birth to a baby girl, but she herself died forever due to excessive miscarriage.
Huang Zhengxiang almost fell into despair, but looking at the baby in his arms, a glimmer of hope was rekindled in his heart.
This little life is not only his only flesh and blood, but also the last gift left by his wife to himself.
According to common sense, Huang Zhengxiang should have devoted all his resources to cherish and cherish this precious gift, so that she could thrive in a caring environment.
However, fate is always so tricky, and at a critical moment, it encounters strong opposition from family members.
"Leaving this child behind will only bring endless trouble to the family! It is better to give her to someone else, so that you can also fulfill your wish to honor your ancestors as soon as possible.
Huang Zhengxiang's father expressed his thoughts unabashedly, although his mother had the heart to defend it, but he could not resist his husband's determination after all.
Huang Zhengxiang could only helplessly watch his father entrust his own flesh and blood to others, and this sudden change filled his heart with pain and entanglement.
However, under the sweet words of Alain's new love, those struggles and hesitations were easily thrown out of the clouds by him.
Twenty-four years have passed, and Alain has never been able to conceive a child for him, and the whereabouts of the abandoned daughter are still unknown.
The guilt and self-blame in Huang Zhengxiang's heart became stronger and stronger, if he had been more cautious in handling this matter and doing his best to raise the poor baby, maybe he would not be so lonely and desolate now.
Therefore, he was determined to recover the flesh and blood that had been lost for many years, so as to make up for his mistakes. However, the clues are too vague, and his parents have long since died, leaving him at a loss.
Just when Huang Zhengxiang was physically and mentally exhausted, the villagers inadvertently revealed important information about Cheng Li, which gave him a glimmer of hope.
However, when Huang Zhengxiang finally found Cheng Li and faced this daughter again, his heart was full of complicated emotions. Cheng Li avoided him and directly accused him of coming to her to seek care in his old age.
These words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, making Huang Zhengxiang sweat and ashamed.
Indeed, it was his wrong decision back then that cut off the possibility of reuniting with his biological daughter. Now, even if he knelt down and begged for forgiveness, Cheng Li only had deep hostility and disgust towards him.
Seeing that this clue was about to be interrupted, Huang Zhengxiang felt deep remorse and decided to persevere even if it was too late.
Although Huang Zhengxiang had sincerely explained his intentions to Cheng Li and sincerely hoped to re-establish the family bond between them, Cheng Li's attitude was unwavering.
"I'm sorry, I firmly oppose the paternity test" Cheng Li hugged the old man around her tightly, tears came out of her eyes As a child who has been adopted by the Cheng family since she was a child, Cheng Li knows that although she has no blood relationship with the Cheng family, the Cheng family's love and care for her is better than her own daughter.
"If it weren't for the compassion of the Cheng family's parents who took me in back then, I'm afraid I would have been living on the streets by now, and my life and death are uncertain. Seeing their daughter's nervous appearance, the Cheng family's parents also stepped forward to protect her tightly, their faces filled with firm faith.
At the moment of facing the angry reproach of the Cheng family's parents, Huang Zhengxiang helplessly lowered his noble head, and his heart was full of endless shame and remorse.
Conscience dissects the facts like a knife - reproduction and nurturing are actually two equally important things! However, fate has made him make such a serious mistake in the past years, and he has personally cut off the hope of reuniting with his own daughter.
Now, even if he uses all his sincerity and efforts, Cheng Li can only treat him as a stranger. The atmosphere instantly became oppressive and heavy, as if the air was frozen.
When he heard these words, Huang Zhengxiang's heart completely collapsed. He fell to his knees, tears streaming down his eyes, and begged his daughter for forgiveness incoherently.
However, Cheng Li had already turned around and left with a frosty face, and even the Cheng family's parents left mercilessly.
In this way, Huang Zhengxiang's journey to find a woman came to an end in a ridiculous way.
Reproduction and nurturing, two seemingly simple words, show a world of different weight in this story. Huang Zhengxiang's mistakes back then doomed him and his biological daughter to never be able to renew their relationship.
And the kindness and tolerance of the Cheng family were exchanged for Cheng Li's unswerving filial piety and gratitude to them.
Perhaps it was too late for Mr. Huang. However, we still sincerely wish that Cheng Li, a poor child, can live a happy and happy life under the nourishment of nurturing grace, and no longer have to worry and sorrow about her life experience.
