On the day of my golden wedding anniversary, adapted from the hit short drama "Reborn in 1980, I Will Not Be Taken," I went to get a replacement marriage certificate that had been damaged over time.
The comrades from the Civil Affairs Office told me in surprise:
"This marriage certificate is fake. The file shows that you are unmarried and have not registered your marriage."
I was stunned: "Impossible, my husband Cheng Yunxiao and I have been married for fifty years."
He called up the file again: "Cheng Yunxiao is married, but his wife's name is Su Qiao."
Su Qiao is Cheng Yunxiao's widowed sister-in-law, who has been with the army as a military doctor all year round.
I trembled and went back to question, and Cheng Yunxiao confessed:
"Isn't it enough that I have never treated you badly in my life? Su Qiao is my true love. I just want to marry her and have children."
My son also advised me: "In order to be considerate of you, my parents have never made it public all their lives. You are already old, so what are you dissatisfied with?"
Only then did I realize that the child I had raised with my own hands was not my biological child.
Su Qiao and I gave birth at the same time. In order for Su Qiao's child to be raised by me, who was more knowledgeable, he exchanged Su Qiao's and mine's children.
And my biological child was drowned in the pond by Cheng Yunxiao as early as the moment he was born.
What's funny is that I actually regarded Su Qiao's child as my own child and sent him all the way to Tsinghua University.
I was so angry that I fainted.
Open your eyes again and go back to the day of delivery when you were ten months pregnant.
