Then all the humiliation he inflicted on her during this time, and all the things he did to her, didn't he end up harming his own niece?

If that's the case, how will he face his sister in the afterlife after he passes away?

Should we talk about how he harmed her and humiliated her?

How could this be? He couldn't believe it; he was going to find Su Jiaojiao and get to the bottom of it.

If Su Li is the one, then why did Su Guoqiang write that letter back then?

The letter clearly states that Jiaojiao is her sister's daughter!

If it really is Su Li, then what kind of life did she live before?

Her biological father, in order to ensure his adopted daughter's well-being, even went so far as to allow someone else to claim her biological uncle.

The thought of this possibility made his blood boil.

Yuan Shuo staggered and ran towards the educated youth settlement.

Xie Feng wasn't stupid. Seeing Yuan Shuo's expression, he had already guessed what was going on. He just didn't expect Su Jiaojiao to be so heartless as to dare to randomly acknowledge someone else's uncle.

Xie Feng looked at Su Li's calm demeanor and said, "Su Li, did you already know about your relationship with Su Jiaojiao's uncle?"

Su Li turned around and looked at Xie Feng warningly; "None of your business. Stay away from me. If you get any closer, don't blame me for being impolite."

Xie Feng didn't follow any further. He knew that haste makes waste and that some things had to be done slowly.

Su Li didn't go to the educated youth settlement to watch the commotion. Even if Yuan Shuo found out now, what could he do? The damage had already been done.

Whoever wants to acknowledge such a scumbag uncle can do so. Back in her own courtyard, Chen Shujing was picking vegetables in the field.

Upon seeing her return, he smiled gently; "Su Li, you're back. How about we have stewed vegetables in an iron pot for lunch today?"

Ever since Su Li made a stew in an iron pot last time, Chen Shujing has been thinking about it a lot.

Luckily, we still had some spare ribs that Su Li had bought last time.

"Okay! Let's have a proper lunch today."

Everything here is peaceful and harmonious.

At the other educated youth settlement, Su Jiaojiao wanted to tell Yuan Shuo about her grievances over the past few days.

"Uncle, do you know? I've divorced Xie Feng, and he knows the child in my belly isn't his. How am I supposed to live from now on? Everyone in the village is talking about me, and I feel like I can't go on living. I've run out of money, what am I going to do after the baby is born?"

Su Jiaojiao continued talking to herself, completely oblivious to the unpleasant look on Yuan Shuo's face.

"Jiaojiao, tell me the truth, are you my sister's daughter?"

Su Jiaojiao's face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Uncle, what do you mean by that? Of course I am!"

"Then do you dare to ask me for leave to go back to the Southern Province and check it out directly?"

As he said this, Yuan Shuo stared intently into her eyes.

When Su Jiaojiao heard him ask that question, she immediately guessed that Yuan Shuo already knew.

Seeing that Yuan Shuo was staring into her eyes, if she continued to deny it, it would only make him have a worse impression of her.

She immediately knelt down before Yuan Shuo; "I'm sorry, Uncle, I lied to you. Actually, Su Li is your real niece."

As she spoke, tears began to fall in large drops; "I didn't mean to, I didn't intend to lie to you, especially when you're so kind to me, I always want to tell you, but thinking about Dad's good intentions, I've been in pain these past few days."

"Uncle, I'm sorry. You can hit me or scold me if you want. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have listened to Dad."

Yuan Shuo's eyes sharpened as he asked, "You mean Su Guoqiang told you to do this?"

Su Jiaojiao cried even harder, tears streaming down her face like a faucet.

“I’m sorry, Uncle, I’m so sorry. It was Su Li who signed me up for the rural assignment. I only found out I was being forced to go to the countryside when I was notified by the educated youth office. My health wasn’t very good at home, unlike my sister’s. That’s why Dad thought I should come and stay with you. At first, I didn’t agree, but Dad said that if I didn’t go and acknowledge you, he wouldn’t send money to my sister. I really had no choice.”

Hearing this, Yuan Shuo wasn't so angry with Su Jiaojiao anymore. He blamed Su Guoqiang for being too biased. "After you come, you can call me uncle along with Su Li. Why did you say before that she was your neighbor's child?"

This matter was a thorn in his side. He remembered that Chen Shujing had said before that Su Li looked like his sister.

He clearly felt that Su Li looked familiar, but he never thought of her as his sister's daughter.

Seeing Yuan Shuo's questioning look, Su Jiaojiao cried even more miserably; "I'm sorry, I was delusional. You've been too good to me. My father has never been this good to me since I was a child. So I couldn't bear to part with you, and in a moment of confusion, I hid the matter about Su Li. I'm really sorry, it's all my fault. I'll kowtow to you and beg you not to be angry."

As she spoke, Su Jiaojiao was about to kowtow to Yuan Shuo.

Looking at her pitiful state, Yuan Shuo realized that their time together hadn't been in vain. He still felt some pity for Su Jiaojiao, especially since she was unaware that he had gone to cause trouble for Su Li. In a way, he was to blame.

Besides, she's pregnant. He quickly helped her up, saying, "Get up first. You're pregnant, and you keep kneeling down. What kind of behavior is that?"

Su Jiaojiao stopped crying and smiled; "Uncle, can I still call you uncle from now on?"

Yuan Shuo hesitated for a moment, then, seeing her pitiful appearance, said, "Whatever you want!"

A glint of triumph flashed in Su Jiaojiao's eyes; "Su Li, this is your uncle. See? I only had to feign a little pitifulness, and he still forgave me, didn't he?"

"Uncle, I'm sorry to my sister. I still have the milk powder and malted milk powder you bought for me before. I'll give them to you now so we can go and apologize to Su Li together. Maybe she'll forgive you sooner."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shuo felt that Su Jiaojiao's words made sense, and his face was no longer as dark as it had been before he arrived.

"Okay, bring those things over, and we'll go talk to her together."

The two of them quickly arrived at the gate of Su Li's house, carrying their belongings.

A fragrant aroma wafted from outside the house, and a flash of jealousy crossed Su Jiaojiao's eyes.

What delicious food is Su Li making now? Ever since she went to the countryside, she's been out of her control, and now she eats and drinks better than Su Li every day.

That's something to be envious of.

“I wonder what my sister’s family is making? It smells so good! Speaking of which, Dad must have sent her a lot of money since she went to the countryside. He hasn’t sent me any money these past few months, so I guess he’s been sending all the money to my sister.”

She said this to let Yuan Shuo know that Su Li hadn't suffered in the countryside and was living a life of luxury, with Su Guoqiang sending her a lot of money, so he didn't need to feel guilty.

Yuan Shuo stepped forward and knocked on the door, which was quickly opened from the inside.

Gou Sheng looked at the two men and asked, "What are you doing?"

Yuan Shuo smiled and said, "Young man, we're here to see Su Li."

Gou Sheng barked towards the kitchen, "Sister, someone's looking for you."
