Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 199: The Only Wife

"Weihe’s wife." Ding Xiaoding looked at the person in front of him with a sorrowful expression, unable to speak of Chi Moyao having passed away over twenty years ago, he urgently called for Li Hongying, the person in Dingping Production Team most familiar with Chi Moyao, since after all, it was Li Hongying who raised Chi Moyao’s son. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Li Hongying was already stunned, looking at the distant figure who appeared somewhat blurry to her, tears started flowing immediately. Only after someone reminded her did she start walking onto the field ridges.

The middle-aged man didn’t recognize Li Hongying, seeing her face full of tears, his heart sank to the bottom, but he still introduced himself first, "I am Xu Zongyin, Chi Moyao’s husband."

Li Hongying grasped Xu Zongyin’s outstretched hand with trembling hands, "Mr. Xu, let’s talk at my place."

Xu Zongyin’s eyes reddened, feeling a surge of vitality being drained away, he followed Li Hongying like a walking corpse. If not for the driver supporting him, he might not have been able to stand.

Li Hongying invited the guest to sit down, poured a glass of water for Xu Zongyin and pushed it in front of him, "Mr. Xu, have a glass of water first."

"Please tell me about Mo Yao."

Li Hongying felt a surge of anger, "Why have you only come now? Did you know Mo Yao discovered she was already three months pregnant when she came to Dingping Production Team?"

Xu Zongyin’s hand trembled, and the ceramic mug spilled, "The ch... child, Mo Yao was pregnant with my child!"

Li Hongying was furious, "Your own good deed, didn’t you know?"

"Where is Mo Yao, what about the child, what about the child..." Xu Zongyin’s whole body burst forth with vitality.

"Mo Yao is dead." Li Hongying closed her eyes, saying this while crying, "She died in childbirth due to complications."

Xu Zongyin’s hands trembled, tears streaming down his face, he pulled out a photo of Chi Moyao from his pocket, and gently stroked it with his hand, "Mo Yao, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I am to blame."

"At the time, something happened in Mo Yao’s family, and my family was also unable to manage, we were already engaged, I disregarded everything to find her, but by then she had already gone to the countryside. She registered at a rural area in the North, after I knew I went looking, but she wasn’t there, I practically searched through all the big and small villages in the North but couldn’t find her."

"I searched in the North for a full ten years, many people told me she either married someone else or died, but I didn’t want to believe it; then I began searching towards the South, another ten years, still no news, it was then that I realized, our country is so big, and finding a person is so difficult."

"I’ve always been unwilling to give up, but still couldn’t find her, until two months ago when I received this." Xu Zongyin slowly placed a photo he held in front of Li Hongying.

Li Hongying immediately recognized it as Chi Moyao, the photo was taken in Huaixi County, she accompanied her, and it was handed over by Chi Moyao before her death, how could this be... Li Hongying thought of Ding Ancheng.

"Have you already met Ancheng?" Li Hongying asked.

"Ancheng?" Xu Zongyin’s eyes widened, "Is it my child? Where is he? Was this photo sent by him?"

"Mr. Xu, are you married?" Li Hongying asked with difficulty.

"Mo Yao is my wife, my only wife," Xu Zongyin said firmly, making Li Hongying’s heart tremble, her nose feeling a sour sensation. Although she felt the words were somewhat inappropriate, she still felt happy for Chi Moyao.

"Mo Yao’s son is named Ding Ancheng, it was a name she chose, after giving birth she passed away, and my family and I treated Ancheng as our own son, now he is a teacher at County First Middle School, and he is married, he recently just returned to the county." Li Hongying actually heard many stories from Chi Moyao about her and Xu Zongyin.

The two grew up together, were mutually affectionate, staying together was a natural and deep matter, so Li Hongying’s first impression of Xu Zongyin came entirely from what Chi Moyao shared.

But until Chi Moyao died, that person named Xu Zongyin never once came, causing Li Hongying’s impression of him to drop to rock bottom. Yet now seeing Xu Zongyin and hearing his words, Li Hongying’s feelings leaned more towards lamentation and the sadness that two lovers couldn’t accompany each other to old age.

Ding Ancheng is now a grown man, regarding how he feels about his biological father, Li Hongying was always guided by his wishes, thinking of the car Xu Zongyin arrived in, Li Hongying actually also hoped Ding Ancheng could have better conditions.

Besides, this photo is now in Xu Zongyin’s hands, it must have been sent by Ding Ancheng, he must have his plans for sending it, she wouldn’t stop him.

Knowing he has a son, Xu Zongyin was very excited, but thinking of Chi Moyao already being gone, he was extremely desolate.

"Where is Mo Yao buried?" Xu Zongyin asked.

Li Hongying’s expression softened, looking at the man who truly loved Chi Moyao, "If you want to go, I’ll accompany you."

Without offerings, or yellow paper, Xu Zongyin knelt in front of Chi Moyao’s grave sobbing silently, Li Hongying and the driver went far off, leaving the place for him.

It wasn’t until the sun set in the west that Xu Zongyin stood up, Li Hongying and the others came over to him when they saw him rise.

"Mr. Li, I want to move Mo Yao’s grave to Jing City," Xu Zongyin said.

"Mr. Xu is Mo Yao’s husband, whatever the circumstances, Mr. Xu can decide," Li Hongying replied.

"Mr. Li, can I stay at your house for the night?"

"Of course."

The matter of Xu Zongyin coming to Dingping Production Team was unknown to Ding Ancheng and his group, they returned to the county, had dinner, and rested.

This weekend everyone had their own affairs, everyone had their own gains and losses, the Liu Family Sisters, Liu Molin and Liu Mohe, stayed at the county guesthouse over the weekend, with someone paying, someone inviting them to dinner, and someone helping to provide a job opportunity; the sisters were elated, eagerly looking forward to the interview on Monday and starting work in the Department Store.

"Sister, Mr. Liao is really good to us, he even wants you to continue studying, he’s taking full responsibility, what do you say?" Liu Molin looked at Liu Mohe and asked.

"I want to study in the county." Liu Mohe’s eyes sparkled, such an opportunity would not return once missed, she looked at Liu Molin with a bit of flattery, "Sister, Mr. Liao said he’d help us rent a room, then we can live together?"

Liu Mohe felt that this Mr. Liao was surely interested in her sister, otherwise who would be so kind to offer such help, so she clung tightly to Liu Molin, "Luckily sister didn’t succeed in looking at Yi Weiliang, otherwise how could we have the chance to work in the county, Yi Weiliang himself is only a temporary worker, surely there wouldn’t be a way. Mr. Liao is definitely capable instead."

"That’s right, how could Yi Weiliang compare to Mr. Liao’s finger," Liu Molin said with some pride.

The Liu Family Sisters were dreaming of a future completely unaware of the situation they were falling into.
