Chapter 25: Public Background
Seeing everyone's confusion, Lin Yuzhu had no intention of hiding anything for the Zhao family and directly told them Zhao Yanshu's life story.
"Our Yanshu is an adopted child of the Zhao family. Seeing that our fourth brother's family is about to come back, it's better to separate us. We can't let our fourth brother's family have no place to live."
When these words were spoken, the neighbors who were watching the fun were stunned.
What the hell?
Isn’t Zhao Laosan the biological son of the Zhao family?
Why haven’t I heard of this before?
And Zhao Yanshu and Old Man Zhao look somewhat alike, don’t they?
Many people didn't have time to think about it further, but after hearing the meaning of her words, they understood. So they split up the family because they wanted to make room for Zhao Laosi, the biological son of the Zhao family?
This... although it sounds unpleasant, if Zhao Yanshu is really not the Zhao family's biological child, and they have raised you to this age, it is understandable that they want you to vacate the house now.
Just as this thought came out, Lin Yuzhu continued: "Although this house and the jobs of my father-in-law and mother-in-law were left by Yanshu's biological mother, they took care of Yanshu after all. We won't go into it too much and just give it to them. It can be regarded as a repayment for their years of raising us."
Upon hearing this, the neighbors were stunned again.
"What? The Zhao family's house and job were left by Zhao Laosan's biological parents?"
Lin Yuzhu smiled and said, "Yes, Yan Shu was still young at that time, and his mother happened to have something to do and couldn't take him away, so we couldn't just find a random family for him.
Although my father-in-law was just a farmer at the time, he was also Yan Shu's mother's biological brother, so he gave the child to him for upbringing.
But in order to give the children a better life in the future, I bought them a house, found them jobs, and moved the whole family into the city.”
After these words were spoken, the neighbors suddenly realized.
"That's what I was saying. I heard that this house was inherited from someone's family, and then it was sold all of a sudden. We thought it was bought by a wealthy man, but who would have thought that it belonged to a country boy.
I was wondering at first, I thought they had some kind of background, but I didn’t realize it after all these years, it turns out they rely on their sister…”
Lin Yuzhu listened but smiled without saying anything. Seeing that the neighbors wanted to dig deeper, she stopped talking and went into the house, saying that she was in a hurry to move.
At first, Zhao Yanshu didn't know that Lin Yuzhu had exposed his background in front of the neighbors. He had already used a cart to send all the household belongings to the new house.
When he came back to pick up Lin Yuzhu, the news had already spread. As soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by neighbors and asked questions.
Zhao Yanshu was so confused by their questions that he had to work very hard to get rid of them. When he saw Lin Yuzhu after coming back, he was hesitant to speak.
"What? You don't want to tell your background?" Lin Yuzhu asked.
Zhao Yanshu shook his head. "No, this is the truth. There's nothing I can't say. I just think Dad... Mom and the others will probably be angry."
Lin Yuzhu smiled. Of course she knew this, but she spoke it out for a purpose, which was to let others know the truth, so that the Zhao family would not be able to control them in the future, and they would not be able to use filial piety to suppress them. This was a direct way to eliminate future troubles.
However, due to Zhao Yanshu's personality, she didn't say it directly.
He just said: "It's okay, they didn't stop us from talking anyway, let's go over there quickly, we still have to pack up the things we moved over there."
After hearing this, Zhao Yanshu was silent and didn't care anymore.
Because the big items at home had already been delivered, only two backpacks were left. Zhao Yanshu didn't let her take them and hung them on himself, leaving one hand free to hold his youngest son.
Here, Lin Yuzhu, wearing thick clothes, held the hand of Xuehua. They took one last look at the room where they had lived for five years. Then, the family of four left the compound without looking back and took the bus.
Although she was leaving the place where she had lived for many years in her previous life so soon, Lin Yuzhu did not feel reluctant at all. Instead, she was a little excited.
Even secretly looking forward to it.
I wonder how the Zhao family would react if they knew what she did today?
