Chapter 288 Found the right person
Qingqing stepped forward and explained his purpose.

The woman suddenly realized:

"Their family, sorry, I've been studying abroad before, so I don't know much about this situation..."

Qingqing and Fu Yunfeng thought they had found the wrong person and were about to thank him and say goodbye.

The woman then changed the subject:
"But my mother knows. She knows it very clearly! She is watching TV at home. I will go and call her out."

Qingqing and Fu Yunfeng all looked delighted!
They soon saw the old lady who came after hearing the news:
"Who? Who wants to see Zhizhi?"

Qingqing seemed to be struck by lightning all of a sudden!
Numbness, suffocation, weakness and other feelings came to my mind...

Zhizhi?

Is it her Zhizhi?

Qingqing's legs weakened and he fell backwards, but Fu Yunfeng caught him in time:
"calm."

In fact, Fu Yunfeng was not much better than Qingqing. Even his hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably.

The reactions of the two scared the old lady next door:
"Hey! Are you guys okay? Do you want to come in and sit down?"

Qingqing and Fu Yunfeng were eager to know the answer, but they also wanted to know more.

Knowing that his physical condition did not allow it, he nodded:
"Sorry for bothering you."

"Where."

The old lady was particularly fond of Qingqing and Fu Yunfeng because they were both good-looking, and she was even happy to invite them to her home.

Only her daughter stood beside her with a helpless look on her face.

Qingqing Fu Yunfeng walked into the small courtyard and came to the main living room with the door open.

The house is not big, but it is decorated very warmly. You can tell at a glance that the owner is someone who knows how to live.

The old lady warmly invited Qingqing and Fu Yunfeng to sit on the sofa.

Her daughter went into the kitchen and poured out two cups of warm water.

"Drink some."

Qingqing thanked him hastily, and before he could even drink the water, he couldn't wait to ask:
"The Zhizhi you are talking about... is it the daughter of the Zhao family next door?"

Why is it called Zhizhi?
Does she still remember them?
So why didn't she come to them?

...Qingqing thought a lot at this moment.

The old lady didn't know this and just nodded ambiguously:
"Forget it, it doesn't count."

As he spoke, he sighed and spoke of the past with some melancholy.

"Zhizhi is such a pitiful girl. Her parents are not good people. She was only three years old when she came back. She was so cute and beautiful, like a fairy in a painting. She was very pretty, sensible and obedient. But the couple in the Zhao family despised her because she was a little girl. They called her Zhaodi all the time and didn't like her very much.

That year, their family moved back from the coast. It happened to be winter when they came back. Zhizhi was probably frozen too hard and fell ill with a high fever. You say that normal families would take their children to the hospital when they are sick, no matter how poor they are, right? But the Zhao couple refused, saying that it was not necessary to spend money on a girl, and just kept wiping her with alcohol. But how could this lower the temperature? In the end, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I took Zhizhi to the hospital for treatment, and I paid for it. The couple scolded me, saying that I was meddling in other people's business and that I should not even think about getting the money back! I was so angry... Fortunately, Zhizhi is a good girl and she knows to say thank you to me."

Qingqing and Fu Yunfeng were originally very anxious to know the child's identity information.

But after hearing these stories, I couldn't help but be drawn in. I listened in a daze, and pictures appeared before my eyes...

"and then?"

Qingqing couldn't help but ask.

The old lady sighed with regret:
"Later, although Zhizhi recovered from her illness, the doctor said that she had a weak physical condition and had many signs of frostbite on her body. If she was not treated regularly in the future, she would suffer from the root of the disease. The Zhao couple were not happy about this and they quarreled with me and the hospital. After they finally calmed down, I curiously went to their house and found that the child was gone! Later, I found out that the couple was so cruel that they threw the child into an orphanage!" "What?"

Qingqing's expression changed instantly. He stood up on the spot and was about to rush out!

Fu Yunfeng grabbed her in time:

"Just keep listening."

Qingqing realized later, yes, if the child was really sent to an orphanage, there would be no subsequent story.

"Has the child been found?"

The old lady gave them a strange look, not knowing what she was thinking of.

But she didn't ask in a hurry, but nodded and said:

"Yes, I found her. It happened that Zhao Cheng's biological father, Zhizhi's grandfather, came back that year. I went to find him and told him about these things. Zhizhi's grandfather took her back, and Zhizhi has been growing up with her grandfather ever since."

Qingqing was almost certain that this child was her Zhizhi.

Now her biggest concern is:

"Is that grandfather good to her? Does he bully her? Does he ignore her? Does he not let her have enough food?"

"How could that be! Grandpa Nan looks bad-tempered, but he's actually a good person. He's also very good to his granddaughter. He really loves her to the core. Later, the Zhao couple broke up with Zhizhi because Grandpa Nan bought a house for Zhizhi in the provincial capital and left her some money. The couple was dissatisfied and wanted to make a scene, saying that Zhizhi shouldn't have taken it..."

The old lady has some rhinitis, so when she says "Grandpa Nan", it sounds a bit like "Grandpa Lan".

So, Fu Yunfeng, who had been silent all this time, had indeed misunderstood.

But he also captured the key point:
"Mr. Lan? Isn't the child's grandfather's last name Zhao?"

The old lady explained casually:
"Zhao Cheng's parents divorced, and he and his mother later changed their surnames to his stepfather's."

The old lady is really an expert, she even knows these old gossips.

However, the old lady really cared about something else.

She stared at Qingqing and Fu Yunfeng for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking:

"Are you not Zhizhi's biological parents?"

Qingqing and Fu Yunfeng were shocked:
"Why do you think so?"

The old lady said:

"You're lucky. You found the right person. Apart from the Zhao couple, Zhizhi and her grandfather, I'm probably the only one in the town who knows about this. In fact, I overheard it when the couple was arguing. They called Zhizhi an ungrateful person who was picked up and couldn't be tamed. They shouldn't have brought her back in the first place... I was scared and guessed that the child was probably picked up or bought by them. There were a lot of such things in those days, but when I found out, Zhizhi was living a good life with her grandfather, so I thought about keeping it a secret and not letting it spread so that people wouldn't talk about it."

After a pause, the old lady said with some guilt,
"Now that I see you, I know that things might not have been the case back then. If I had told you earlier, would you have been able to find the person sooner?"

Qingqing and Fu Yunfeng were speechless for a moment.

They were just shocked by the facts, silent and their thoughts in a mess.

Right.

3 years old, winter, frostbite, Zhizhi...

These all match up!

They really found their daughter!
