Lin Wanwan then told him what she knew before.
Cheng Jinyan seemed to be deep in thought. "The Jian family? Could it be Jian Xiangrong's illegitimate son?"
"It should be. I don't know them, but Lu Feng does; they're his good friend's maternal relatives."
At this moment, Song Lanzhi asked, "Xia Yang's maternal uncle?"
"Yes, Mom, you knew about this too?"
"Yes, they grew up with Lu Feng since they were little. Before going to the Northwest, they used to hang out together all the time. Now they've all become much more sensible. Xia Yang's uncle is also a muddle-headed fellow. Fei Yin is such a good person, but he can't let go of those women outside."
Lin Wanwan and Cheng Jinyan exchanged a glance. "You know Senior Brother too?"
"Well, there are quite a few families with some background in Beijing, and they are deeply intertwined. If you were to investigate them, you would find that they are all related by blood or marriage."
"Jinyan, I remember your grandmother's surname was Jian, wasn't it?"
"Yes, Grandma and the old man of the Jian family are sisters."
"Then you should call that Jian Xiangrong 'Uncle'?"

Your maternal grandmother couldn't stand how your uncle and aunt spoiled their children. She had a few words with her. At that time, your maternal grandmother scolded her for not being able to distinguish right from wrong, for not following the rules, for being high-profile and flamboyant, and for getting into trouble sooner or later."
Song Lanzhi smiled and said, "That's all ancient history, but you were right. By the way, how is your grandma?"
"Yes, it's good. They're getting old and have all sorts of illnesses. They've been staying in a state-run nursing home. I'm planning to bring her and my grandfather back. We'll hire a nurse and a caregiver so I can see them more often and feel at ease."
Song Lanzhi nodded. "It's time to bring them back. If you need any help, just let us know. Don't be shy with your auntie."
