Chapter 175 What Happened That Year

Hearing Lin Xiuzhen's sarcastic words, Old Lady Gu immediately became furious and slammed the table vigorously, "What? We are not your parents-in-law now, right? Now that you have a good life, you start to look down on us poor relatives, right?"

"Mom, I didn't say that. You said it yourself. As for whether you dislike it or not, you should have some idea in your mind."

"Okay, we just came here to take a look, we don't have any other intentions. Don't make things too ugly. We are all family." Old man Gu couldn't help but come out to smooth things over at this time.

"Haha~ Now you are a family? When our family was in such a difficult time before, why didn't I see you guys say that you are a family?"

Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu stopped talking.

Looking at the atmosphere at the scene, Xu Dongmei didn't bother to say anything and just started eating.

She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to eat after the quarrel.

"Okay, now you know everything you need to know, so go back after dinner."

"Why should we go back? Isn't your store big? Shouldn't you have a house to live in the city? We will just stay at your house for one night. I, an old woman, haven't even been to the city for a stroll."

Old Mrs. Gu has come here with great difficulty, how could she go back so easily?

And before leaving, he had already boasted to the old sisters in the village that he was buying things in the city and asked his daughter-in-law to be filial to him. If he went back like this today, wouldn't he be laughed at?

"Haha~You guys are as shameless as ever."

"Who are you calling shameless? How could you talk about your own mother-in-law like that?" Old Mrs. Gu immediately became unhappy.

"Isn't it? Why didn't I tell you that my family opened a restaurant? Wasn't it because I was afraid you would worry about it? How come I'm showing it so obviously, but you still can't feel it?"

Lin Xiuzhen didn't plan to pretend anymore.

After all, it can be quite annoying to deal with such a large family sometimes.

She now has her own career and is very busy all day long, so she doesn't have the energy to take care of this family.

"What do you mean? Don't you want to honor us?"

"What do you mean? Your son has been dead for several years? I have shown all my filial respects to you all these years. Even if this matter is made public, no one will dare to blame me. I have shown all my filial respects to you all, but you should not take advantage of me. I have this family business today because of my hard work with my daughters. What does it have to do with your Gu family?"

Old Mrs. Gu was so angry at Lin Xiuzhen's words that her chest heaved.

"You, you, you are so unfilial!"

"Then just treat me as an unfilial person! I don't care if you go out and say something to ruin my reputation. Let's see if people outside will speak up for you."

For so many years, Lin Xiuzhen thought she had a clear conscience. Even before her husband passed away, her family cared more about the Gu family than her own family.

But these people are not satisfied after all.

"Since so many people are here today, let's talk about what happened back then."

Originally, Lin Xiuzhen wanted to go home to settle accounts with the Gu family.

Now that all the Gu family members are here this time, she doesn’t have to go back again.

"What, what happened back then?" When Old Lady Gu heard about what happened back then, her eyes began to avoid her, and she even didn't dare to look at Lin Xiuzhen.

"Haha~ Mom, don't you know best? When I gave birth to my fourth child, I gave birth to twins, right? You threw away the youngest one?"

Lin Xiuzhen's tone of voice was very calm at this time, but the content of her words made the faces of the Gu family members change.

Old Mrs. Gu was shocked. "What are you talking about? Why would I throw your child away?"

"Really? I've already asked someone to identify it. Chuxia is my child. Why is my child in the next city? This doesn't make sense!"

"What identification? I don't know what you are talking about."

At this point, Old Lady Gu still refused to admit it. She had to stick to her guns and not admit it. If she admitted it, given Lin Xiuzhen's vengeful character, the two families would probably never have any contact with each other again.

"Don't you know? There is now a blood test that can detect the genes between two people. Once the test comes out, we will know whether they are mother and daughter."

Lin Xiuzhen started to fool people seriously again.

The Gu family has never seen the world and they actually think that technology is so advanced nowadays.

Can the mother-daughter relationship be checked?

"Well, that might really be a coincidence. I remember you only had one child. Maybe the midwife sold your child."

Lin Xiuzhen was so angry that she almost laughed.

"Even if you're lying, make it sound plausible. Weren't you there when I gave birth? What? You watched the midwife take my baby away? What on earth were you thinking, you bastard?"

Lin Xiuzhen's eyes were fixed on the other person.

When Old Mrs. Gu got to the back, she didn't even dare to look Lin Xiuzhen in the eye.

She herself also felt guilty.

It was indeed she who did what happened back then, but she could not admit it no matter what.

"Alright, even if you don't admit it, everyone knows it. It was you who sold my child. If I hadn't met Chu Xia on the train, our whole family would have been kept in the dark by you."

This is what made Lin Xiuzhen most angry.

Just because it was a girl, they could sell the child at will.

When the other sisters heard the voice, they all stood behind Lin Xiuzhen, as if they were ready to support her.

But Lin Chuxia was also stunned at this moment. She didn't expect to hear such words on this occasion.

In fact, she already had a rough guess about her life experience before.

It was just that because Lin Xiuzhen didn't say anything, she pretended not to know and always called Lin Xiuzhen "Auntie", but in fact, she had already treated Lin Xiuzhen as her own mother in her heart.

But I didn’t expect that the Gu family was involved in the incident.

"Is there any misunderstanding about this matter in the old family?" Old man Gu actually understood it when he saw the interested look on his wife's face, but he didn't want to make such an ugly scene for the whole family.

The older generation still hopes that a harmonious family will bring prosperity. Now that the eldest son's wife has become successful, she can take care of her nephews and grandchildren.

But the lives of the other families have also improved, and he will be able to rest in peace after a hundred years.

"What's the misunderstanding? Don't you know what she did? I guess I'm the only one who's been kept in the dark. You guys don't like me giving birth to another daughter, so you just threw the child away without telling me."

In that era, there was no so-called B-ultrasound or pregnancy check-ups. Women almost always gave birth as soon as they became pregnant, and the babies were delivered at home.
