(Dan Tri) - "I thought you would hate me so much. I'm sorry, I was wrong, my child...", meeting her biological daughter again after 23 years apart, Ms. Ngoc hugged her daughter, sobbing like a child.
The mother lost a finger.
"I am My's biological mother. This is the finger I cut off myself. You two adopted my child and gave me money for treatment. Do you remember?...", through the phone screen, Mrs. Ngoc cried and anxiously asked Mr. and Mrs. Y Ten.
The mother was remorseful and cried the day she reunited with her daughter after 23 years apart (Photo cut from NVCC video).
The clips recording the reunion journey of Ms. Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc (born in 1970, residing in Gia Lai province) and Ms. Nguyen Thi Tra My (born in 1995, residing in Phu Yen province) brought tears to the online community, attracting more than 1 million views and tens of thousands of interactions.
Previously, Ms. Ngoc got married and had two children, named Anh Tuan and Tra My. At that time, life was difficult, her husband suddenly left, leaving Ms. Ngoc alone with two young children.
Seeing that she was not strong enough to support and raise her child, she decided to remarry so that mother and child would have a place to rely on, hoping for a better life.
However, not long after, Mrs. Ngoc and her husband quarreled and had a falling out. The climax of the family conflict came when their son unfortunately passed away. After that incident, Mrs. Ngoc and her three children were despised and treated cruelly by her husband's family.
Not wanting her child to suffer unjustified beatings, Mrs. Ngoc took her child and left her husband's house. On the day she left, because she was so angry at her husband's indifferent family, the miserable woman cut off a finger to "take revenge". She sent her eldest son to her parents' house to be taken care of, and took her daughter with her on her wandering journey.

The unimaginable hardships of the mother and child continued. Every day, if no one gave her a ride on a motorbike, Ms. Ngoc had to carry her child and walk 32km to the coffee plantation to work for hire.
Life was hard, with no money for treatment, so the poor mother's injured finger never healed, and the condition became more and more serious.
"At that time, I thought about sending my child to an Ede person in the village who often came to work, so that my child could have a more fulfilling life. I told my child to stay in the village for a while, and that I would come back to pick him up after finishing my errands, but in reality, I left without returning. The couple who adopted my child felt sorry for me and gave me some gold to treat my wounds," Ms. Ngoc said, choking up.
Reunion without resentment
Mr. Y Ten (59 years old, living in Bau village, Song Hinh district, Phu Yen province), My's adoptive father, said that at that time, My was only 7 years old. After waiting for a long time but not seeing her mother come back to pick her up, My cried a lot.
"My husband and I had to go to the market to buy bread and milk to comfort our child before she stopped crying. At that time, we did not have any children so we decided to adopt My. It seemed that she felt our love, so gradually, My was no longer afraid and soon integrated into village life," Mr. Y Ten shared.

Although their family was not well off, Mr. Y Ten and his wife still tried to raise their children, giving them everything they had. However, because they did not have many conditions and their house was far from town, My only studied until grade 3 and then dropped out.
After that, the girl went to take care of cows and work on the fields to help her parents earn extra income and take care of her family. When she grew up, her parents arranged for her to marry someone in the village and the couple had 3 children. Thanks to the land her family gave her, the couple grew and harvested cassava and had money to raise their children.
Although happy and satisfied with her current life, Ms. My still can't help but worry about the reason her biological mother left her.
As for Mrs. Ngoc, during the 20 years she was away from her child, she always blamed herself and felt regretful. But because her life was still in need, she still did not dare to look for her child.
However, a few months ago, finding it impossible to bear the longing and torment any longer, she decided to contact a Youtube channel specializing in searching for lost relatives to spread the information.
Just a few hours after posting the clip on Youtube, Ms. Ngoc was able to connect with Mr. Y Ten and his wife. The day she arrived at Bau village and met her daughter again after decades apart, Ms. Ngoc hugged Ms. My, and both burst into tears.
"When my adoptive parents heard that my mother was looking for me, they were very happy and not angry. Neither was I," My said in tears.
Ms. Ngoc said she would not force her daughter to come home with her, but would visit often. Ms. My shared that she herself would not leave her adoptive parents, but would stay in the village to take care of her grandparents.
