Mu Ziwei knew that last night was their wedding night, so he waited until the afternoon when the sun was about to set before he came to Zhou's house anxiously looking for someone.
Meng Zhiyu was already sitting in the shade of the yard waiting for him. Zhou Songbai even pulled a table over and sat next to Zhiyu to cut an apple for her.
Grandma Yun and the others couldn't stay here for too long and had to go back, so Zhou's mother and father specially accompanied them for a stroll to cultivate the relationship between the newly-formed in-laws and to leave some space for the newlyweds.
When Meng Zhiyu saw Mu Ziwei with a little dark circles under his eyes, he didn't say anything and directly took out the wooden sign that Grandma Yun had given her.
He asked directly, "Do you recognize this thing?"
Mu Ziwei thought he knew the relationship between Yu's family and the person his uncle was looking for, but he didn't expect to see his uncle's wooden sign here.
He picked it up and looked at it several times to confirm that it was real. He asked in shock, "Sister Zhiyu, where did you get this?"
Although he didn't answer directly, Meng Zhiyu knew that he was admitting that he knew the brand. Instead of answering his question, he asked, "What is the function of this brand?"
Although Mu Ziwei was anxious for an answer, he patiently answered her, "This is a wooden sign unique to our family. My dad said it was designed by my great-grandfather himself. Although it looks simple, there are some things on it that others can't imitate. It's a symbol of my family's status."
Although this brand looks ordinary, it is still very important to the Mu family. After the third birthday, both boys and girls will get their own brand and will never take it off.
This is also the reason why he was so surprised to see his uncle's sign here. He didn't seem to say that his uncle's sign was missing. Perhaps no one else in the family knew about it except his uncle.
"What is your relationship with the person my uncle is looking for?" Although the answer was already on the tip of his tongue, Mu Ziwei still wanted to hear it from Meng Zhiyu himself.
He didn't sleep much last night. He thought all night and guessed many possibilities. Combined with this brand, he was sure that Meng Zhiyu must be related to the person his uncle was looking for.
Mu Ziwei still felt it was a bit mysterious. His uncle had spent a lot of money, energy and time but still couldn't find the person, but he met her just by rebelling and avoiding blind dates and going to the countryside?
Meng Zhiyu didn't keep it a secret, "This brand belonged to my mother, and later my mother gave it to my grandmother. When I went home for the Chinese New Year, my grandmother gave it back to me according to my mother's wishes."
Mu Ziwei listened to the brand changing hands repeatedly and had a bad feeling in his heart, "What about your mother?"
In all the time they had known each other, he had never heard Zhiyu mention her mother.
Meng Zhiyu sighed, "My mother passed away."
Mu Ziwei was originally happy because he had found the person his uncle had been looking for for nearly twenty years, but in the end...
He was silent for a moment, then asked Zhiyu for her opinion. "My uncle has been looking for someone for so many years, ever since I can remember. I want to talk to him about this."
Although the person he was looking for was gone, there was still Zhiyu, who was suspected to be his uncle's biological daughter. He asked tentatively, "Is your father still alive?"
Meng Zhiyu, "...You don't know if your uncle is still alive?"
Not to mention her, who came later, the original owner had never seen her biological father since she was born.
"No, I mean, um, is your biological father my uncle?" Mu Ziwei knew that he had not explained it clearly and caused her to misunderstand.
Meng Zhiyu thought it might be the case. "Right? According to my grandma, the owner of this brand is my biological father."
"That's good, that's good." Mu Ziwei breathed a sigh of relief. His uncle had insisted on finding someone for so many years, and no matter how his family members tried to persuade him, he ignored them. Now that there was finally some news, the person was gone. He was really worried whether his uncle could bear it.
However, Mu Ziwei glanced at his newly born little cousin. It should be easier to have a biological daughter around, right?
After Mu Ziwei made sure that Meng Zhiyu had no objection, he rode his bicycle in a hurry to the county town to report the news home.
Zhou Songbai, the invisible man sitting on the side, was also in a complicated mood. He had been thinking about when to find an opportunity to talk to his wife and take him, the son-in-law, to burn some paper for his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
I never expected that my dear father-in-law was still alive.
When the family came back, Meng Zhiyu told them about the situation. Mother Zhou and Father Zhou were also a little surprised. They didn't expect that their father-in-law, who had passed away, was still alive.
The Yun family decided to wait until they met Mu Zhengze, whom they had never met before leaving.
Mu Zhengze came faster than Meng Zhiyu and the others had expected. On the third day after Meng Zhiyu's wedding and the third day after her return home, Zhiyu and her partner were watching the little ducks bought by Zhou's mother swimming by the river.
Mrs. Zhou ran over breathlessly, pinching her waist and gasping for air, "Zhiyu, Songbai, go home quickly, someone is coming home."
Meng Zhiyu held up a long wooden stick, a fishing rod made of a broken rope, and asked, "Sister-in-law, who's here?"
When she and Song Bai got married, all the relatives of the Zhou family came. It’s only been a few days and they are here to visit again?
"I don't know what they were called, but they were two middle-aged men driving a car. Mom asked me to come find you and get home quickly."
Meng Zhiyu's heart beat rapidly twice, and she exchanged a glance with Zhou Songbai. Was this her biological father?
The person who came was Mu Zhengze. When he received the call from his nephew, he had just returned from looking for someone outside. Now that he was at the place, he still felt a sense of unreality.
Seeing that his youngest son looked absent-minded, Mr. Mu was worried about him coming alone, so he asked his second son, who was on vacation at home, to accompany him to see if this was the person he was looking for.
As soon as Meng Zhiyu entered the Zhou family yard, she recognized who was Mu Ziwei's uncle, because the two men looked so similar that she believed they were father and son.
Mu Zhengze and Mu Zhengzhi also saw her. They both looked at her in shock. Mu Zhengzhi exclaimed, "This is too similar."
Mu Ziwei was puzzled. He thought this sentence should have been said by Zhiyu or someone else. How could it come from his father's mouth?
"Dad, you're wrong. It's not the first day I've known that my uncle and I look like you."
Mu Zhengzhi secretly glared at his silly son and scolded him in a low voice, "Shut up."
Then when he looked at Zhiyu, his face was gentle again, "Zhiyu, right? I am Mu Ziwei's father and Mu Zhengze's second brother." I am also your second uncle.
Meng Zhiyu nodded politely, a standard smile on his face, "Hello, I heard Brother Mu mentioned you."
They say that you are not only afraid of your wife, but also a tsundere.
Mu Zhengzhi didn't know that his son mentioned him to complain about him. He thought he felt that he missed him. He sighed in his heart and decided to secretly give him some money later. After all, he was his biological son.
Mu Zhengze secretly wiped the corners of his eyes, wanting to talk to Zhiyu but not knowing where to start. Mu Zhengzhi saw what his third brother was thinking and said with a smile, "It's not a problem for us to stand here. Why don't we sit down first and talk."
