Chapter 11: Learn Qin Zhan's Identity

They had originally come to the countryside to visit their elder parents, but they met their father Jiang Houde on the way. They learned about his granddaughter from him. The couple were surprised and hurried over to see her.

My third uncle works at the fertilizer factory in town. He is filial, hardworking and capable, and lives a good life.

Third aunt Xia Juying was a woman with a mind smaller than a needle tip. When she heard that Jiang's youngest daughter had arrived, she became very curious.

"Hello, Third Uncle, Hello, Third Aunt, my name is Su Luo."

Su Luo introduced herself and greeted them politely.

"Hello, hello, Su Luo, Luo Luo, right? You look so much like my little sister."

When Jiang Fukang saw Su Luo, he was stunned. It was like he saw his sister when she was young. He couldn't help but shed tears of emotion.

Xia Juying wasn't overly happy. She crossed her arms and asked, "Your mother hasn't come back. She hasn't thought of coming home to visit for so many years. But she ran away without saying a word, leaving our whole family here to be criticized..."

After hearing this, Jiang Fukang quickly nudged his wife with his arm and told her not to say anything more.

"What's wrong? Can't I just say a few words?"

Xia Juying was a little annoyed. Ignoring her husband's hint, she continued, "If you dare to do it, don't be afraid of what others will say! What's going on now? Is your mother having trouble making ends meet over there? Is she asking you to go back to her parents' home to beg for money?"

Looking at Su Luo's pale and thin face, she guessed that Jiang Yunlan must have had a hard life after eloping, and might have sent her daughter to ask for money and things.

Su Luo could feel that her third aunt was not very welcoming to her arrival, and her words and deeds were mocking her mother's elopement.

She slowly stood up, stared at Xia Juying, and told her word by word, "I came to my grandmother's house on my own initiative. It has nothing to do with my mother. My mother died ten years ago!"

Xia Juying: “…”

Jiang Fukang: “…”

Perhaps they didn't expect such a result. Jiang Fukang was shocked and Xia Juying was also dumbfounded.

Her mother died ten years ago?

Jiang Yunlan died ten years ago?

Oh my god!

Xia Juying shut her mouth instantly and couldn't say anything.

At this time, Yao Guixiang came in from outside with a cold face and angrily said to the third daughter-in-law, "What's wrong with my Yunlan? Did I eat your rice when I was here before? What's there to be dissatisfied about? Come and ask me directly!"

Xia Juying could tell that her mother-in-law was angry, so she didn't dare say anything more.

If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have bothered with a dead person!

Jiang Fukang felt very uncomfortable and asked, "Mom, what's going on? My little sister..."

"Don't ask anymore, don't mention it anymore. Yunlan won't be coming back. Luoluo will live in our house from now on. She's a member of our family. Anyone who messes with her is messing with me, Yao Guixiang!"

Yao Guixiang is tall and has a strong aura, and her words basically have the final say in the Jiang family.

The reason why she has such awe-inspiring confidence is that her five sons are more capable than the other.

Except for the fourth son who stayed in the countryside to farm, the other sons were either in the town, the county, the province, or the army.

Her sons are all filial and obedient to her, so even if her daughters-in-law have their own ulterior motives, they dare not confront her head-on.

"Mom, no, we all welcome Luoluo back."

On behalf of his wife, Jiang Fukang expressed that Luo Luo was welcome to stay at the Jiang family.

"Yes, Mom, I was careless with my words just now, blame me. Luoluo, don't take it to heart!"

Xia Juying also followed her husband's lead, which eased the awkward atmosphere.

To please her mother-in-law, Xia Juying even took out all the gifts she had brought. "I just happened to bring two cans of malted milk. You can give it to Luoluo to nourish her body. She's too thin."

Seeing his wife coming forward, Yao Guixiang's expression looked better.

Yao Guixiang didn't care about the food and daily necessities. When she saw the malted milk, she immediately opened the lid and made a large cup for Su Luo and Xiao Liu.

“Malted milk is delicious.”

After drinking the malted milk from the 1980s, the rich aroma filled her stomach and made Su Luo's heart warm.

Third uncle Jiang Fukang was also a kind-hearted person. Seeing Su Luo drinking happily, he immediately said, "There are still a few cans at home. I will send them to Luo Luo later."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Juying's face changed and she subconsciously stepped on him.

I really admire him. Look how much he loves his poor niece!

Would you like to move your home here?

After the third couple left, Yao Guixiang took Su Luo's hand and said, "Luoluo, come here and see how the room grandma cleaned for you is."

Su Luo was taken into the inner room, and her grandmother told her that this was where her mother used to live when she was at home.

After her mother passed away, the room was given to her fifth uncle to live in. However, her fifth uncle was in the army most of the time and seldom came back, so it was just right for Su Luo to use it now.

The room was clean and tidy. The bed was covered with plain cotton sheets and a pure white mosquito net. Yao Guixiang said, "Just make do with it today. Next time there's a market, grandma will take you to town and buy you new floral sheets! We can also buy you some cloth to make you new clothes."

"No, Grandma, these are good enough."

Su Luo is very content and doesn't need too many material things.

The treatment that the Jiang family prepared for her was something that she could hardly enjoy in the Su family.

Even if Su Luo didn't want it, Yao Guixiang had already decided to decorate the girl's room, buy her some new clothes, and dress her up beautifully.

She couldn't let her only granddaughter suffer any injustice again!

Su Luo continued to look around the room. There were some festive New Year pictures on the wall, and some photos were pressed under the glass on the table.

Many of them were individual or group photos of men in military uniforms. Su Luo knew that her fifth uncle Jiang Yunhe was a soldier, and his current rank in the army should be quite high.

However, in the photo with her fifth uncle, Su Luo noticed a man who was also wearing an officer's uniform. After looking carefully, she was surprised. Wasn't that the young man who caught her at the bottom of the cliff when she came from the book?

Thinking of this, Su Luo hurriedly asked, "Grandma, who is this man in the photo with my fifth uncle?"

Yao Guixiang took a look and laughed, "Oh, it's your fifth uncle's comrade-in-arms, the Qin family's kid, Qin Zhan."

"Qin Zhan?"

Su Luo silently repeated Qin Zhan's name in her heart, and felt a buzzing in her head.

She was not unfamiliar with the name Qin Zhan. In the novel, he was the original owner's savior and had saved the original owner's life. The original owner had a crush on him for this reason, but unfortunately she never had the chance to confess her feelings.

"Well, he and your fifth uncle have a very good relationship. They are in the same unit."

Yao Guixiang remembered something and asked her, "By the way, do you know the origin of the jade pendant your mother left for you?"

Su Luo was brought back to her meditation session by her grandmother's words. She shook her head and waited for her grandmother to speak.
