Mrs. Sun had already made up her mind. When she found Jiang Yao, she would tell her that she was her mother, the woman who had given birth to her.
As for Sun Xiaoshan, she was her eldest sister's daughter. She had lost her beloved daughter, and when she saw her eldest sister in prison, her heart ached for her niece. So, she raised that weak and sickly girl as her own daughter.
It was not difficult to find Jiang Yao's identity, a university student. She could go to the county town and ask the locals; they would know if there was such a person. Therefore, when Mrs. Sun arrived at Nanjiang Medical University, her heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.
"Who are you looking for? Jiang Yao?" The guard stopped her from entering the compound. "Who are you to Jiang Yao?"
Mrs. Sun replied matter-of-factly, "I'm her mother! Please let me go in to look for her, or you can speak to her for me. I can wait for her at the entrance."
Even though Mrs. Sun knew that Jiang Yao was at Nanjiang Medical University, she did not know which was her dormitory, so she had to keep asking when she was there. If the guard could help her look, then she would not bother to go in. Instead, she was willing to wait at the entrance.
There were many people coming and going at the university entrance. It was also a good place for her to meet her daughter.
Mrs. Sun thought that if she said that she was Jiang Yao's mother, the guard would be happy to help her. She did not expect the guard to stand up and spit at her. "Liar! There are more and more liars these days, and their tricks are endless! If you were Jiang Yao's mother, wouldn't you know that she took a long leave and went out to study with her teacher?"
The guard knew Jiang Yao. She was an honor student and was eager to learn, and she was also the school's gem. He felt honored to have known her.
Jiang Lei had already settled down in Yuan City. Jiang Jie and Wang Xian had already gone to work in the town. The couple was not sure if they would stay in town or return to the village.
Therefore, there were only Mr. and Mrs. Jiang in the house. They felt a little uneasy when they saw the family of three.
"Why are you here?"
Mr. Jiang pretended to be calm as he looked at the mother and daughter duo he had met once in the Jindo City hotel. The girl was still sitting in a wheelchair. She seemed worse than the last time he saw her in Jindo City.
