My Name Is Fang Xiaoya: Chapter One, Abandonment and Redemption
My name is Fang Xiaoya. The moment I came into this world was the moment my mother's life ended.
My father looked at me with nothing but disgust in his eyes. He was convinced I was a jinx who would bring misfortune. Without much hesitation, he abandoned me by the cold roadside, a helpless infant still swaddled in blankets.
At the time, my uncle hurried over, filled with joy. He had wanted to see me and his younger sister, my mother. But when he arrived, all he heard was my father's cold voice: “Didn't my sister give birth to a daughter? Where is she?” My father answered impatiently, “I already threw her away.”
My uncle's heart clenched. He didn't waste another moment arguing with my father. He rushed out of the house and anxiously searched along the road in the direction my father had described. He was going to pull me back from the fate of being abandoned.
