This must be a big deal, and a big deal for their family.
Upon arriving at the street, Zhang Dajun led him into the office.
"Are there only the two sisters in your sister-in-law's family?"
Why would someone inquire about Wang Liying's family affairs for no apparent reason?
I heard that Beijing is cracking down on vagrants and migrant workers.
But their household registrations had long been in Beijing, and it was Zhang Dajun who handled it back then.
“The two sisters came here as refugees, so they must have their own sad past. I don’t want to bring up their painful memories, and I’ve never asked them about it.”
"Where are they from? What do their parents do? Do they have any siblings?"
He Hongyang was unaware of these things.
He believes he married Wang Liying as a person, not her family, and therefore has no interest in such things.
Seeing how anxious Zhang Dajun was to call him over, and how he was only asking about Wang Liying's family matters.
Did something happen?
“Although I don’t know her family, I am now Wang’s son-in-law. You can tell me anything you need to do.”
"Could it be that some of her relatives have come knocking on her door?"
Zhang Dajun nodded: "You guessed right."
(aeec)
As he spoke, he took a photo out of the drawer.
"Look at this picture and see who it is?"
He Hongyang looked up and realized it was his wife.
But upon closer inspection, something seemed off.
Although the person in the photo has similar facial features and appearance to Wang Liying, she has a mole between her eyebrows, which is commonly known as a beauty mark.
Upon closer inspection, she appears more dignified and elegant than Wang Liying.
Upon closer inspection of the photo's date, it turned out to be from over a decade ago.
"Who is the person in the photo? Do you know her?"
Only then did Zhang Dajun tell him why he had been asked to come.
Recently, Beijing has been cracking down on migrant workers, and many people from other places have been arrested in every street.
They discovered that they had no household registration, no relatives in Beijing, and no local introduction letter.
They were all sent back together.
But some people simply wouldn't listen to them, and after being deported several times, they secretly ran back.
This woman named Zhao Ailing is one of them.
When Zhang Dajun first saw her, she looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
It wasn't until I saw photos of her when she was young that I realized what had happened.
This person looks so much like He Hongyang's wife.
Could he be a relative of his?
They detained the man temporarily under a pretext, wanting him to come and identify him.
"Where is the person now?"
"It's in the next room."
Did you ask her if she knew my wife?
"No, although I think it looks like it, I'm not sure. I think I should call you over so you can confirm it."
He Hongyang never expected that such a coincidence could happen.
Does Wang Liying have family? Could the woman in the photo be her mother-in-law?
If that's the case.
Wouldn't that mean the Wang family could be reunited?
He took the photo and went to the next room.
He was greatly shocked when he saw Zhao Ailing in person!
The woman in front of me was around 40 years old, and like the Wang sisters, she had a pair of big, bright eyes.
She has very fair skin and a very thin build.
Although the cotton-padded coat he was wearing didn't look new, it was washed very clean.
What's most striking is the red mole between her eyebrows.
The beauty mark twitched with her facial expressions.
She saw He Hongyang, and then she saw the photo in his hand.
He hurriedly grabbed the photo: "How did you end up with my photo?"
He Hongyang asked directly, "Do you know Wang Liying and Wang Lizhen?"
Hear these two names.
Zhao Ailing seemed to be frozen for two seconds.
Then she opened her mouth wide and grabbed his arm.
"These two people you're talking about are my daughters. How do you know their names, whether they're alive or dead, and where they are now?"
It seems He Hongyang's guess was correct.
The person in front of him is his mother-in-law!
"They are alive, and they are doing very well."
Zhao Ailing's tears flowed down her cheeks instantly.
Large tears streamed down her face.
“I never thought they were still alive. I never thought they were really alive. I came here to find them.”
“Everyone says my daughter is dead, but I don’t believe it. Even if there’s only a sliver of hope, I will find my daughter.”
"Today is truly a blessing from heaven, allowing me to finally reunite with my daughter!"
"Could you tell me where they are? Could I see them? Could I...?"
Not finished yet.
"Dangdang!"
She fainted immediately.
He Hongyang helped her up and took her pulse.
It's probably hypoglycemia caused by malnutrition.
This is a street area after all, and more people will come in later.
Although he had already confirmed Zhao Ailing's identity, Wang Liying would definitely be quite excited to bring her home like this.
She's pregnant now, so getting too excited would be bad for both her and the baby.
First, find a place to settle the people.
Once we've clarified this matter and explained it to Wang Liying, we can arrange for them to meet.
Ask Zhang Dajun for help to carry the person to the hotel next door.
I had someone buy me another bowl of noodles.
Then I gave her a cup of sugar water.
Zhao Ailing slowly opened her eyes and saw He Hongyang feeding her.
What just happened to me?
"You're experiencing low blood sugar due to malnutrition. You haven't been eating much lately, have you?"
"Did you save me just now?"
Zhao Ailing looked around and, when she realized she was in a hotel, she quickly got up.
“I have no money and can’t afford a hotel. Where is my daughter? I just want to see her.”
"Don't rush. Your health doesn't allow you to see her right now. Just stay here and relax. I've already paid the bill. Eat this bowl of noodles in a bit."
Zhao Ailing didn't know what was wrong either.
Although she wanted to leave, she couldn't help but sit down when she heard He Hongyang say that.
I saw that bowl of noodles.
That was a steaming bowl of shredded pork noodles, topped with two poached eggs.
She was so hungry.
He Hongyang is right, she hasn't been eating properly these days.
I feel both hungry and cold all over.
They didn't bother asking who he was, nor did they care about being polite.
He picked up the bowl and started eating.
After finishing a bowl of noodles.
Her face gradually regained its rosy hue, and her eyes began to shine.
Seeing that I finished a bowl of noodles so quickly.
Then I saw He Hongyang standing in front of me.
She ate a stranger's noodles without any hesitation.
People rescued her, found her a hotel, and brought her food.
Zhao Ailing twirled her hair shyly.
"I don't even know who you are. I'm so sorry for being so rude on our first meeting."
He took out the grain coupons from his pocket.
"This is all I have right now, you can take it for now."
He Hongyang certainly wouldn't take her food coupons.
"Wang Liying and Wang Lizhen are sisters who fled to Beijing a few years ago when they were fleeing famine. They have never mentioned their family members to anyone."
"Since you are their mother, where is their father? Did he come with you?"
“If he comes too, then your family can be reunited. I think the two sisters will be very happy to hear this news.”
Zhao Ailing shook her head: "Ever since Lizhen was born, her father left home, and I don't know where he is now."
“Some people from their hometown said they had seen their father in Beijing, so the two sisters secretly ran away from home, saying they wanted to come here to find their father. But Beijing is so big, how could they find him just by wanting to?”
"When I heard that the children were here, I originally wanted to come and find them too, but I had several young children at home and couldn't get away."
"I was finally able to come out this year, but with so many people, where could I find someone? I searched for almost half a year and was chased away several times without finding anyone."
"Heaven rewards those who persevere. I never expected to meet you, and I never expected that you would know my daughter."
That's what happened.
No wonder Wang Liying never mentioned her family before.
It turns out she ran away from home.
No wonder she never mentioned her father; it turns out she had no idea where he was.
"I'll tell them about this when I get back, and then I'll arrange for you to meet."
Zhao Ailing noticed that He Hongyang was remarkably composed and capable in every move he made.
