When Du Siming returned and told the old couple that the Dachuan brothers agreed to buy the house, the old couple of the Huo family opened their mouths wide in disbelief.

After a long while, Mrs. Huo recovered a little and asked, "Why did they agree?"

"It's for Wuchuan. Wuchuan has been resettled in another place and has nothing." Du Siming felt a little emotional when he thought of the brothers who cared deeply for his sister and didn't think anything bad of her. "The brothers and sisters have a good relationship. I thought I could sell it and get some money to send to Wuchuan so that he can settle down and start a family there."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Huo couldn't help but sigh, "The relationship between the brother and sister is really good. They are right. A poor family makes a lot of money. Wuchuan has just arrived in an unfamiliar place, so I'm afraid he will spend the most. This is also true. Besides, there are not many families in the village who can afford to buy a house."

"Indeed," Du Siming nodded in agreement. "That's what Dachuan and the others think. Not many people can afford the price. Plus, Wuchuan's case has been reported to the police, and his reputation is not very good. Even if someone wants to buy it, they will try to lower the price. So it's better to sell it to Du Jiaming. I don't think he will deliberately lower the price."

"That's true. Then you can reply to Du Jiaming," Mrs. Huo said with finality. "By the way, it's best to deal with those uncles in Dachuan before the transaction to avoid any trouble later."

"I'm not worried about that. I think Du Jiaming has a plan in mind, otherwise he wouldn't come to Wuchuan and ask to buy the house on the first day he came back." Du Siming rubbed his chin and said lightly, "He should be aware of Wuchuan's situation. Using this method to help Wuchuan and ease the hatred of the Dachuan families towards him and Du Yingying is not a bad idea."

"He's a talented person," Old Man Huo agreed. "It's a pity that he has to bear the burden of such a father. If he had continued to develop according to the original plan, I think he would have been quite good."

"Yes, I just don't know if the person in the underworld will regret it." Thinking back to the execution ground, Du Siming felt a little lost.

After a while, he calmed down. "Forget it, it's someone else's business after all. Uncle Huo, I'm going to the kiln factory first. I have things to do. I won't be back at noon. If Du Jiaming comes, tell him to go to the kiln factory to find me."

"Okay, go ahead."

After Du Siming left, the old couple of the Huo family couldn't help but chat for a while before getting up and going out to the square.

Du Jiang and Yu Chunxiao were chatting while washing clothes on the riverbank. Yu Chunxiao seemed to be in a bad mood today and was distracted frequently. After Du Jiang once again grabbed the clothes that were about to be washed away, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? Why are you distracted so much today?"

"Thank you, Sister Jiang." Yu Chunxiao finally came to her senses after taking the clothes. She looked down at the wet clothes in her hands and sighed, "Sister Jiang, I... I'm not my parents' biological child. My sister is married."

Huh? Du Jiang was a little dumbfounded. Both of these pieces of news shocked her. "You... you're not my biological child. I think you look a lot like Principal Yu."

"That's because my biological father is his younger brother, so I should call him uncle," Yu Chunxiao's smile was very faint, not even reaching his eyes. "If I hadn't suddenly dropped by a few days ago, I wouldn't have known about this. My biological parents left some things for me, but she gave them all to my sister as a dowry. I feel a little sad."

"So are you planning to come back?" Du Jiang turned his head to look at Yu Chunxiao and stopped what he was doing.

Unexpectedly, Yu Chunxiao shook her head and said, "No, just consider it as child support for these years. My uncle treats me like his own son, and I can't let him down. But I also plan to sort things out with them. We'll just be ordinary relatives from now on."

Yu Chunxiao was the most sentimental person, but now he could actually say these words, which made Du Jiang speculate about the relic. He whispered, "Is the thing left behind valuable?"

Yu Chunxiao didn't say anything, just nodded silently, and then whispered, "My uncle also knew about it, but I don't know why he acquiesced. Although they raised me, they did this without telling me, which made me feel uncomfortable. And if I hadn't suddenly visited them and overheard, I'm afraid they would have kept it from me. I don't like this. If they told me directly, I would definitely give it to them. I don't care about that thing, I just... just..." Yu Chunxiao's voice was choked with sobs and she couldn't continue.

Du Jiang sighed, reached out to stop Yu Chunxiao and let her lean on his shoulder, "I know, you just feel that they are hiding you from others, and that they don't treat you as a family."

Yu Chunxiao couldn't hold back her tears any longer and cried out loudly. Du Jiang felt distressed when she kept calling her "Sister Jiang". She gently patted her shoulder and said soothingly, "It's okay, it's okay, Chunxiao, you still have us, we still have us."

It took a while for Yu Chunxiao to calm down. Looking at Yu Chunxiao's red eyes, Du Jiang gently scooped up some water to wash away the tears and wrinkles on her face. "It's okay, you still have us. We are a big family. We will be your family from now on, Chunxiao. The past is the past. They raised you, and the relic is a token of their gratitude. It will be a good thing for you and them in the future. From now on, there will be fewer disputes between you. I think they won't be able to ask you to do anything in front of you as benefactors. This is a good thing, isn't it?"

Listening to Du Jiang's analysis, Yu Chunxiao's depression and hatred gradually subsided. After calming down, she nodded slowly and said, "Thank you, Sister Jiang. I'm the only one in the entire educated youth center who dares to tell you this. I've figured it out. My parents gave me money and raised me, and now they've taken my belongings for themselves. I'm even with them now. This way, they won't use their kindness in raising me to blackmail me or make me do anything." Yu Chunxiao paused and continued, "But I still have to settle things. I'm thinking of going to school this afternoon to find my uncle and write a written document about their support for me and my parents' belongings. That way, we're even."

Du Jiang couldn't say whether it was good or bad about Yu Chunxiao's move to draw a line between the two. She could only listen quietly as he talked about his childhood prejudice, his reluctance to go to the countryside, and the bumps and grudges in life.

Yu Chunxiao's words brought to mind a series of images: a weak girl desperately trying to squeeze into a strange family, being subtly rejected and loathed by the hostess and her sister. The host knew about it, but perhaps because of the heavy burden of his family, he could only turn a blind eye. He kept telling the girl about the difficulties of his family and downplaying her past family. Slowly, the girl forgot the past, and only occasionally complained about her parents' favoritism with a smile, but she still worked hard and gradually fell silent.

Du Jiang touched Yu Chunxiao's head distressedly. She didn't know how this child could still maintain a cheerful personality in such an environment, but this made her feel even more distressed. "It's okay, it's all over. You still have me and Guan Chuan and the others."

"Well, I still have you." Thinking of his family at the educated youth camp, Yu Chunxiao's lips curled up slowly, and tears flowed from his eyes again, but this time there was no bitterness, only warmth.
