Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 875

Chapter 875: 217: Zheng Suyu Regains Consciousness!_3

"Grandma Jiang had been living in M Country before this?" Ni Yang followed up with another question.

"Yes." Mrs. Zheng nodded and continued, "Back in the day, your great aunt and Grandma Jiang were as close as real sisters. Later, when your great aunt passed away, Grandma Jiang, fearing that returning would renew her grief, never went back and stayed in Beijing."

"So, there was no chance for my mom to meet Grandma Jiang," Ni Yang said.

Mrs. Zheng continued, "That’s why I said perhaps your mom was mistaken."

"Grandma, where did you and Grandpa work in the beginning?" Ni Yang asked.

"In Yicheng," Mrs. Zheng replied. Mentioning that sorrowful place made her feel uncomfortable.

Ni Yang frowned slightly, "But my mom grew up in Haicheng, Grandma, Haicheng is over three thousand kilometers from Yicheng."

Haicheng is over three thousand kilometers from Yicheng. In times with developed transportation, it takes two days and nights by train, nine hours by high-speed rail, and four hours by plane.

In an era of extremely poor economic conditions and transportation options, how could a three-year-old girl possibly cross three thousand kilometers?

There was a big problem with this.

Mrs. Zheng’s eyes reddened slightly, "Actually, when I first saw your mom at the state-run big hotel, I felt she was my daughter, especially Little Yunyun; she looked exactly like your mom when she was young. But later, when I asked your mom where she was from, and she said she was from Haicheng, my heart felt half cold."

Mrs. Zheng thought the same as Ni Yang at that time. It was impossible for a three-year-old girl to travel so far.

"It wasn’t until the DNA result came out that I dared to confirm that your mom was my daughter. Now that I think about it, she might have been abducted by child traffickers to Haicheng."

Ni Yang shook her head, "At that time, the preference for sons over daughters was at its worst. My mom grew up in the countryside, and my maternal grandfather’s family wasn’t well-off; they wouldn’t have spent money to buy a daughter. So, the probability of child traffickers is practically zero."

In China, the preference for sons over daughters only started to improve after the year 2000. Before that, nearly two-thirds of families preferred sons over daughters.

There were rampant cases of abandoning baby girls; which child trafficker would waste their energy to steal a girl, and then sell her to the countryside?

Even traffickers would normally sell to families that were well-off and unable to have children.

Ni Cuihua grew up in a rural area with harsh conditions, never even attending school as a child.
