031: The Bitterness of Coptis Chinensis, the Toughness of Cattail Grass (3 Updates)

The birth certificate from 1969 is handwritten.

Baby name: Yuli.

Gender: Female.

March 4, 1969, born in: Chuncheng Second People's Hospital.

Baby's father's name: None.

Birthplace: Chuncheng, Yunnan Province.

Baby’s mother’s name: Youru.

To find this archived birth certificate, Xia Xiaolan spent at least hundreds of thousands of Chinese dollars in more than a month. This was the result of hiring many people to help.

The clues, confirmed by the local police, cannot be false.

If they had just the same name, it could be said to be a coincidence, but they even had the same birthday. Xia Xiaolan really didn't expect that the person she was looking for might have been around a long time ago, but she didn't recognize them.

Yuli's hand holding the birth certificate was shaking.

She was more surprised than Xia Xiaolan.

How can this be!

Although she had thought about it for a moment, she suppressed the thought again.

"I, I...Mr. Xia...I am not from Yunnan Province..."

There must be a mistake.

She is not from Yunnan Province!

She really has no impression of Dian Province. How could she be born here?

Xia Xiaolan sighed, "What's the aunt's name?"

Yuli was speechless.

Her mother's name is Youru.

Yuru?

Is there Ru?

Tang Youru... The birth certificate in Yuli's hand fell to the ground. She didn't know how to explain everything in front of her. She helped track down this clue, but she never expected that the final result would actually be related to her. I am concerned!

Xia Xiaolan took Youli and sat on the hospital chair together.

"Please sort out your thoughts, and then think about where to tell me. You were from Beijing when we met, and your accent was from Beijing. In which year did your mother take you to remarry? Do you still remember?"

Youli calmed down and spoke after a long time:

"...I don't know. I don't remember much about my childhood. It seems that my mother kept taking me to change places to live. Later, she remarried Qiao Quanbing, and our mother and daughter's household registration fell into the Qiao family. At that time, I should be about seven or eight years old."

She vaguely remembered that she moved several times when she was a child.

She even rode the green train with her mother in her arms.

But I can’t remember where I went to the capital from.

How did her mother remarry Qiao Quanbing? Youli also didn't know much about it. For a child, how could she care about how her household registration changed and her place of origin?

Anyway, I went to school in Beijing and grew up in Beijing.

Her mother is very hard-working, working in a factory, and keeping the house in order.

Before her mother was injured and paralyzed, the family's life was actually pretty good. Compared with the surrounding neighbors, the only thing that Qiao Quanbing was dissatisfied with was not that she was a drag, but that her mother refused to give birth to a son for him. For this Qiao Quanbing had to find faults and quarrel every few months... But Qiao Quanbing kept quarreling because her mother was hardworking and capable, and Qiao Quanbing was reluctant to divorce.

What Qiao Quanbing often said when quarreling was that their mother and daughter were outsiders, meaning that he was kind enough to take them in so that they could become residents of the capital——

She had to be well prepared to escape with her mother, because they really had no relatives to rely on.

In Yuli's knowledge, there are no relatives such as grandparents, uncles, aunts, etc., and it is impossible for people to jump out of the cracks in the rocks, but her mother does not tell her this.

"I don't know, Mr. Xia, I really don't know anything."

Yuri crossed her hands.

Xia Xiaolan patted her gently, "Lidou, does your mother have Lidou on her face?"

Of course there are pear vortexes, and when you smile, they are particularly obvious on your face.

But after her mother became paralyzed, she smiled less and less, became thinner, and Lidou was rarely seen!

Yuri nodded honestly.

Xia Xiaolan is 80% sure that the timeline can be closed, and Youru is Tang Youru.

Now that the clues have been found here, let's confirm it. Although Youru is in a vegetative state now, it can be confirmed by DNA testing.

Xia Xiaolan couldn't tell whether she was more happy or uncomfortable.

...If Tang Youru and Youru are the same person, can Lao Tang accept it?

This is joy and also shock.

After Tang Youru was sold, his life was indeed very difficult, even more difficult than everyone expected.

Some people are born and grow up in a honeypot.

Tang Youru's life after the age of seven was even more difficult than Coptis chinensis. According to Youli, a few years passed briskly in the middle. Before losing his labor force, he could live an ordinary life and settle down in the capital... But such a peaceful and light life only lasted a few years.

People say that a nephew is like an uncle. Xia Xiaolan looked at Youli carefully.

Does it look like Laotang?

Looking at it with the subjective idea that Yuli may be Lao Tang's niece, it seems to be somewhat similar.

Then why didn't you see it before?

Because no one thought that way!

Before Lao Tang returned to his hometown for the funeral, neither Xia Xiaolan nor Liu Fen knew the existence of "Tang Youru".

Seeing that Youli was still lost, Xia Xiaolan patted her hand again:

"After two months of investigation, the clues ended when it came to you. Regardless of whether your mother is Aunt Tang Youru or not, we still need to go back to Pengcheng!"

There must be many stories about Tang Youru.

Her life is filled with the bitterness of Coptis chinensis, but also has the toughness of cattail grass.

Being resold several times, escaping from the mountains of Yunnan Province, and finally returning to the capital with her daughter to settle down... This is not something ordinary people can do, at least not the abducted women Xia Xiaolan wants to rescue. !

If Youru is Tang Youru, Xia Xiaolan not only does not despise the other party, but also admires the other party.

Some people get messed up when they get good cards, and some people get a deck of cards that are too bad to look at, but they never give up and try hard to turn the game of life around - such people, whether they are men or women, are all worth to respect.

Xia Xiaolan couldn't help but hug You Li:

"Xiao You, come back to Pengcheng with me. Let's solve this mystery together."

Yuri nodded.

"...Mr. Xia, I listen to you."

Mr. Xia would not harm her. When she couldn't think on her own, she should listen to Mr. Xia.

…

Before Xia Xiaolan got on the plane, she told Tang Hongen what she had found.

She promised Lao Tang that she would tell him any clues as soon as possible and would never hide them.

Only with this guarantee can Lao Tang stay and work in Pengcheng instead of staying together in Dian Province.

Tang Hongen's mood was also like riding a roller coaster.

He didn't sleep knowing that his sister had been resold several times.

Knowing that his sister had escaped, he did not fall asleep.

He didn't sleep knowing that his sister was pregnant when she ran away and that he might have a nephew and niece.

His mood rose and fell with each clue.

Until Xia Xiaolan found the birth certificate in Chuncheng No. 2 Hospital and thought that "Tang Youru" was "Youru", Tang Hongen really couldn't hold it anymore!

His endurance has reached the limit. He is unwilling to accept a paralyzed and comatose woman, his sister Xiaoru who has been sold for 29 years. This fact is too cruel... But if compared with death, this is Tang Hongen's ability. Acceptable minimum!

"At least I'm still alive, at least I'm still alive..."

Liu Fen cried silently, "Hong En, don't scare me!"

Tang Hongen wiped away her tears with his backhand, "Don't cry, don't cry, Xiaoru is still alive, let's go to the hospital."
