Zhao Chunhan lost her daughter, and she has been running up the mountains and around the neighboring villages these past few days. Her hair was messy and face unwashed, with dull and lifeless eyes. She looked like a madwoman, approaching anyone she saw to ask if they had seen her daughter Duoduo.
People would first push her away and then exclaim in surprise, "Isn't this Mrs. Zhao?"
Zhao Chunhan was in a daze.
She had to endure her mother-in-law's scolding, as well.
She was accused of giving birth to a worthless child.
She was also called lazy and useless.
Her mother-in-law even suggested that her daughter might have run away with a man or disappeared altogether.
Zhao Chunhan listened numbly.
Her husband also scolded her.
He blamed her for causing his mother to worry.
She couldn't even take care of her own daughter, and now his mother had to worry and be angry about it.
Everything was her fault; she was wrong and should pay the price.
