Chapter 868: That Family
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Jiang Yu wanted to return to the Kang family, but she also wanted to drag Jiang Ran down completely. She needed to find all the evidence.
The first step was to find the family that adopted Kang Die.
Jiang Yu quickly looked through the information on the computer and finally locked onto a place.
She did not even have time to inform Mo Long before she bought a plane ticket and flew over.
That place was in a small town. Although it wasn’t bustling, it wasn’t bleak. Jiang Yu found the house based on her memory. After knocking on the door politely, a voice sounded from inside, “Who is it?”
!!
Jiang Yu said softly, “h.e.l.lo, is this Xie Hui’s house?”
The door was quickly opened. An old man with white hair stood there and looked at Jiang Yu in surprise, “Young lady, who are you looking for?”
Jiang Yu politely said, “I’m looking for Xie Hui.”
The old man was even more surprised. “That’s me. Why are you looking for me?”
Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment before revealing her ident.i.ty. “h.e.l.lo, I’m Kang Die’s daughter, Jiang Yu.”
Hearing the word “Kang Die”, Xie Hui was taken aback. Slowly, his eyes began to tear up.
He hurriedly let Jiang Yu into the house and poured her a gla.s.s of water. “This place is small. Don’t mind it.”
Jiang Yu smiled. “It’s alright.”
Xie Hui and Jiang Yu sat down face to face. “Did you just say… that you are Kang Die’s daughter?”
“Yes.” Jiang Yu nodded.
Xie Hui smiled awkwardly. “Actually, if you put it that way, you would have to call me grandpa.”
He didn’t want Jiang Yu to call him “Grandpa.” He just wanted to clarify his ident.i.ty. However, Jiang Yu had already called him, “h.e.l.lo, Grandpa.”
Xie Hui was stunned. Tears slowly gathered in his eyes, “Hey, Grandpa is here. It’s grandpa and grandma who have let you down. Back then, the family really didn’t have much savings. The two of us couldn’t afford to eat anymore. We really couldn’t support you anymore. That’s why we sent you to the orphanage…”
As he spoke, big tears rolled down Xie Hui’s face.
Jiang Yu’s nose turned sour as she comforted him, “It’s okay, Grandpa. Look at me now. Isn’t my life very good?”
“Living well is better than following me.” Xie Hui sobbed.
Jiang Yu patted his shoulder and said, “Grandpa, I came here this time because I want to know everything about my mother.”
Xie Hui thought for a moment and started telling his story from the moment he picked up Kang Die.
…
Fifteen minutes later, Xie Hui finished telling his story.
It turned out that after he married his wife back then, he was found to be infertile and could not have children at all. Although there was a solution to IVF, the two of them were from a small family after all. The subsequent treatment and recuperation costs were a sky-high figure.
So, Xie Hui and his wife chose to adopt a child.
And Kang Die was the child they adopted.
At that time, Kang Die was standing at the intersection. She had a high fever and was holding a cotton doll in her arms. When the Xie Hui couple pa.s.sed by, Kang Die suddenly fainted.
In the spirit of doing a good deed, Xie Hui and his wife sent Kang Die to the hospital and waited there until Kang Die woke up. Xie Hui wanted to ask for Kang Die’s home address and send her back, but Kang Die only vaguely remembered that her name was Kang Die and did not know where her home was.
Xie Hui guessed that Kang Die’s current condition should be a temporary memory loss caused by a fever, so he first took her home to take care of her, thinking when she remembered his home address and when he would send her back.
But after a long time, when Kang Die called out “Mommy and Daddy” for the first time, Xie Hui and his wife were reluctant to send Kang Die away, thinking that she was a gift from G.o.d to fill the gap in their hearts.
So they kept raising Kang Die for more than twenty years until they saw her get married to that man named Jiang Hai.
Later, when Kang Die got pregnant, the whole family was very happy. However, during the delivery, the doctor found that the fetus was not right. If they insisted on giving birth, they could only choose between the mother or the child.
Although everyone said that they would save the mother, during the final surgery, Kang Die still begged the doctor to follow her wishes and save the child.
In the end, Kang Die died due to dystocia.
Xie Hui and his wife were very sad. Although Jiang Hai was sad, he had no intention of bringing the child back to the Jiang family. He only hurriedly gave the name “Jiang Yu” and disappeared.
Xie Hui carried the child and went to look for Jiang Hai, wanting him to take care of the child. However, every time, he was chased out by a woman named Wei Juan.
