NovelEnglishChapter 1969: It’s Fine
Jiang Yao put the phone in Xiao Ding’s ear, then gently put one hand on Xiao Ding’s shoulder to silently encourage him.
Xiao Ding looked up at Jiang Yao as if he had received great courage from her eyes. His voice trembled a few seconds later as he shouted, “Sis... Sis...”
It was as if he had lost his ability to speak. Xiao Ding continued to say, “Sis... sis... sis...”
Ding Xiaomei was silent for a long time, but her breathing became heavier.

“It’s me! It’s me! Sister, I miss you so much.” When Xiao Ding’s hand gently pressed on the back of Jiang Yao’s hand holding the phone, his entire body began to tremble. He suppressed his sobbing voice, but he could not stop the tears in his eyes. One by one, they fell on Jiang Yao’s hand.
The heartache slowly spread to Jiang Yao’s heart.
Jiang Yao did not know how it felt to be separated from one’s family. Her parents had doted on her since she was young, so she could not empathize.
However, her heart ached for the young child who was shouldering an experience with which no ordinary people could empathize.
The child had left home so young that he could not even remember his name.
However, he still misses his family and even remembered to look for his sister.
At that moment, Jiang Yao felt that her effort was worth it. No matter how much money she spent, seeing that child find his family was worth it.
“I’m sorry, Little Brother. It’s my fault.” Ding Xiaomei kept apologizing over the phone, and the self-reproach she felt after discovering her little brother had escaped. She did not even dare to ask her little brother how he had been living all those years. Where had he been all those days? What kind of grievances had he suffered?
At that moment, the resentment she had already let go of once again occupied her heart.
She hated her father even more. She hated the person who had caused her and her little brother to be homeless.
“Sister, when are you coming to pick me up? Has Dad come home? Where’s Mom? Who else is at home?” Xiao Ding said, “I remember that we left home to find Dad.”

“Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Eldest Sister, and I will pick you up.”
Ding Xiaomei did not mention anything about her parents.
“Hurry up!”
Xiao Ding subconsciously urged her. Then, he realized that it was not good, so he quickly said, “It’s okay. You guys can take your time. I’m good here. Auntie Jiang and Uncle Lu are very nice. The director is also very nice. I have many friends here. When you guys come, I’ll introduce you to them.”
Jiang Yao was relieved to see that Xiao Ding’s mood had stabilized. She was afraid that Xiao Ding would be so excited that he would faint.
Jiang Yao was afraid when she saw him trembling like that then.
The news that Ding Xiaomei’s younger brother had been found had spread throughout the village in just a few minutes. While Ding Xiaomei was still talking to Xiao Ding on the phone, her older brothers and sisters had all gathered at the snack bar. They were scrambling to have a few words with their youngest brother..
