They didn’t let the carriage enter the Zhu Village but had the coachman wait for them at the village entrance. Then, they entered Zhu Village.

As they entered Zhu Village, Jiang Yue lowered her voice and asked Xue Yan, “Do you know exactly when your father found you?”

“l know.” Xue Yan nodded and also suppressed his voice. “Many people in our village know that it was on the twentieth of April.”

It was no secret that he was adopted and on which day he was adopted.

His family didn’t hide it from him, so he knew everything.

“At that time, there was work in a town on the edge of the county. There were many people, so it would only be half a day’s work. The chief saw that our village was poor, so he took on this job.

“He was afraid that if this job were not done well, it would be even more difficult to find work for the people in the village in the future, so he found some people who were especially good at hard labor in the village. They all went before dawn, including my father.

“After he finished, he came back with the others at noon. He picked me up on the road back to Pingan Town at the edge of the county. The others saw it too, but they all thought it was difficult for their families to support themselves and were unwilling to bring me home. Only my father carried me home.” Xue Yan continued to speak in a low voice,

Jiang Yue nodded and said, “This means that there are many people who can prove where your father adopted you and what day he adopted you. If Laicai also says that he threw you there, everything can be connected.”
