Chapter 1066: Seeking the Truth 11
With the heart, but already lost courage and faith.
"We were wrong, we really were wrong~" Mother Gu wept, "My daughter~ suffered right under my watch, I watched my adopted daughter bully her, insult her, even try to kill her, and I, just stood there numb like an executioner."
Grandma Gu cried tears of sorrow, since He Zhilan had disappeared for more than a decade, she too had suffered from insomnia for all those years.
Each time she closed her eyes, she seemed to still hear the little girl calling her ’grandma’ in a tender voice, her chubby little body rolling on top of her, and then giggling mischievously, telling her where she went to play with Brother Lan Lin today, what she did with the older boys in the yard today.
Gu Zhilan is the treasure of the Gu Family, an irreplaceable treasure to everyone.
"Comrade He." Grandma Gu slowly stood up, called out to Father He, and then, under everyone’s gaze, slowly knelt down towards the direction of Father He, "Our Gu Family really don’t know how to thank you, if it weren’t for your kindness in raising Miss Zhilan, if it weren’t for you, taking the trouble to raise her, educate her, and achieve her current success, if it weren’t for you, perhaps, as this fellow villager said, Miss Zhilan would have been sold to somewhere unknown, where would she have had her current achievements?"
Grandma Gu said with tears, "Our Gu Family thanks you for giving Miss Zhilan a second life, thank you, for all these years, for taking care of her on behalf of the He Family, this grace, our Gu Family cannot repay."
This kneel, Grandma Gu, is kneeling for the kindness of Father He, which enabled He Zhilan to have today’s achievements, to be more fortunate than other girls in the village, to attend college, to have her current social status.
