Cheng Su’s sudden outburst, not only startled the director and the other nuns, but also scared the child in her arms, who began to cry as well.
The cries were deafening, and the director and nuns were at a loss, instinctively stepping forward to take the child from Cheng Su. Cheng Su was acting too strangely, and for safety reasons, they couldn’t leave the child in her hands.
However, Cheng Su dodged them, holding the child tightly and kneeling on the ground, crying hard.
The nun’s face changed, her impatience showing, as she wanted to call someone over, but the director raised her hand and shook her head.
Cheng Su thought she wouldn’t have to suffer the fate of being abandoned in this life, but it was the same as in her previous life; she was abandoned, if not today, then on Qingming Day.
She was late!
Cheng Su’s heart was in agony. Why didn’t they want her, why not?
She was sure she had no hidden illnesses, so why wouldn’t they want her? Was it because she was a girl, born in a time with a heavy preference for boys?
The more Cheng Su thought about it, the sadder she became, and her cries grew louder.
And the child in her arms, as if sensing her mood, also cried with wide-open throat, almost to the point of choking.
"Girl, don’t cry anymore, you’re scaring the child!" the director gently patted Cheng Su’s shoulder.
Cheng Su lifted her head, saw the loving face of the director, and tears flooded down uncontrollably.
"There, there, don’t cry. First, let me have the child, okay? She’s crying until she’s nearly out of breath!" The director reached out her hand.
Cheng Su avoided it, sobbing, looking down at the child, tears falling like broken beads onto the child’s swaddling clothes.
It was her, it was her when she was a child!
