Shu Man stared at He Xiyan on TV for a long time, then turned her head to her mother. She curled her lip corner slightly, drawing a confident smile.
“Mom, what do you think? I’m more beautiful than her, right?” Having no special preference for the woman on TV, Shu Man said so without hesitation. Besides, she had seen this couple before. Last time, she bumped into that woman in the snack street by accident. Though she apologized, that couple still found fault with her.
The old woman coughed several times. Her health had deteriorated recently.
She continued to watch the TV show and said, “Manman, I mean that you look a little like Mrs. Ye, and Mrs. Ye is looking for her missing sister. I think maybe it’s you… Look at those publicized pictures. Mom feels that the girl in those photos look a little like you when you were little.”
“Oh?”
Shu Man was stunned, and then looked at the 70-inch TV set again, in which the family searching show was still being broadcast. In the show, the photos were displayed on the background screen, which was taken of the missing girl when she was little. But the girl in the picture looked only one or two years old, who, from her view, did not look like herself.
“No way, mom, is your eyesight blurry?” However Shu Man looked at her, she did not think that she was like that little baby.
The old woman shook her head.
“I still remember what you looked like when you were a child. Although I have lost the photo, you indeed looked a bit like her, especially your nose and eyes.”
The more the old woman looked, the more she felt she was right. Besides, in her heart, she hoped that her daughter was indeed He Yiyi. After all, she was now old and was not in good health, so she hoped that her daughter could find her relatives who were related to her by blood so that she could have someone to rely on in the future.
Shu Man looked conflicted, giving a long sigh. She didn’t know why her mother said so. In short, she had no impression of her childhood appearance. Even her memory of what happened before five years old was very vague or nearly none. If there were any, she simply held a vague memory of a brother. As for sisters, she does not have any.
“Well, mom, forget it. I don’t think I should be. You see, Mrs. Ye said that her sister was born in January 1997. I, however, was born in June, 1995. I’m several months older than Mrs. Ye. How could I be her younger sister? Besides, I don’t have that pendant, right?”
Shu Man poured a glass of water for her mother and looked in the drawer for some pills.
“Mom, take the pills first. Don’t think too much about it. It’s not my turn to have such a good life.” Shu Man felt that she had always been very unlucky. She was in bad health with her left kidney missing, which led to her inability to play sports. Last year, she was diagnosed as infertile, so her boyfriend abandoned her and went to find another one. She had been unlucky all her life, always so. How could she possibly have such a rich and influential sister and brother-in-law?
Shu Man’s mother swallowed some pills that her daughter handed over, but spilled them out due to coughs. After a pause, she suddenly took her daughter’s hand and looked deeply at her young daughter, saying somewhat sadly.
“Manman, I don’t know for sure when you were born. I haven’t told you the truth. In fact, you weren’t adopted by me in the welfare home. Actually, I picked you up by a garbage bin. You were wearing ragged clothes then, with no shoes on, and you were then searching for something to eat in that trash bin.”
