“I didn’t go in, but waited for them at the door. After some time, I saw them leading someone out of the house. That person was Uncle Lin,” Xiang Wanqiu said.
"Uncle Lin?" Xiang Wanlan seemed to understand what was going on.
He had heard his parents say that before.
Uncle Lin, who often ate at their house, was a pitiful man.
Many, many years ago, when Uncle Lin was a handsome young man, a beautiful woman pursued him relentlessly, wanting to be his wife.
The two fell in love after the woman pursued them, got married, and had a daughter.
However, just one year after the little girl was born, Uncle Lin, who thought his family was harmonious and happy, discovered that his wife was having an affair, and with more than one other person.
Uncle Lin was furious, feeling that his wife had disgraced him and made him look like a fool for so long. Enraged, he wanted to die together with his wife.
But the wife was no pushover. Not only did she ransack the house and take all the valuables, but she also used the property deed to sell the house. Even more incomprehensible, she took their daughter and sold her too...
After learning about this, Uncle Lin searched desperately for his daughter but to no avail. He couldn't find his wife either. He had no money and nowhere to live, so he was left to wander the streets.
Not only that, he also became the target of public criticism, with his former neighbors pointing fingers and gossiping about him.
Later, unable to withstand the immense pressure, Uncle Lin went insane overnight and was sent to a mental hospital.
I heard that Uncle Lin's condition only improved slightly a few years ago, so his parents took him out and arranged a place for him to live.
Thinking about it that way, it seems to make sense.
When Uncle Lin was first brought out, Wanqiu particularly disliked him. Whenever she saw Uncle Lin come to the house, she would immediately hide in her room, refusing to eat or drink, and no amount of calling her would work.
However, Wanqiu later became unusually close to Uncle Lin. She not only visited him at his house frequently, but also brought him a lot of things each time, and even called Uncle Lin her godfather.
Xiang Wanlan stared intently at Xiang Wanqiu, a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
"Brother, don't look at me like that." Xiang Wanqiu gave a wan smile, then asked knowingly, "Mom and Dad must have told you about Uncle Lin, right?"
"Um...I did say that."
"What they tell you is probably somewhat different from reality."
When Xiang Wanlan's parents told her about Uncle Lin, Xiang Wanqiu happened to come home and hid in the shadows to hear the whole story.
But even before that, Xiang Wanqiu had already investigated and done a DNA test, confirming that she was indeed Uncle Lin's child...
Therefore, she knew that the version told to Xiang Wanlan by Xiang's parents was somewhat different from reality.
"What difference?"
Xiang Wanqiu closed her eyes and began to recall.
"It's true that my biological mother pursued my biological father, and they eventually married and had me. It's also true that my biological mother cheated on me after I was born and was caught red-handed by my biological father. It's also true that my biological mother sold all of my biological father's valuables, including me."
It's true that my biological father became the target of public criticism; the only mistake he made was finding me and stealing me back.
Ming Jiayi felt like her worldview was about to be shattered.
Her biological mother sold her for money, and her biological father, finding out, stole her back. Isn't that illegal...?
Xiang Wanqiu continued, "Later, my biological father sent me to live with my parents and went to find my damned biological mother."
