Chapter 679 Life is full of twists and turns
"My name is Zhang Lushi... Lu means on the road, and Shi means picking up things." The man said faintly, "My adoptive father and his family said that they met my mother on the road while fleeing famine, and they kindly took her in, and we took care of each other all the way to the countryside of Harbin."
"When were you born?" Qi Anguo asked.
"I was born in the fall of 1947, I think it was October, or September. My mother told me before, but I don't remember. My adoptive father and his family have been so kind to me... that they don't even remember these little things." said the man.
One sentence implies a lot.
He didn't have a good life at his adoptive father's house.
But it is understandable. He is not a biological child, but was adopted. It is good enough that he can have food to eat. Do we still have to celebrate his birthday?
As for the date of birth, some people can't even remember their own children, let alone the ones they adopted.
"That...."
Qi Anguo still has many questions to ask. How did your mother survive? Did you marry this adoptive father?
But I couldn’t bring myself to ask it. This question seemed important, yet unimportant.
Zhang Lushi spoke up himself: "My adoptive father has a wife and children. My mother initially recognized my grandparents as her godfather and godmother, and promised to take care of them in their old age and see them to the end of their lives. She didn't get married, but I didn't expect her to pass away so unexpectedly...
"Later, my adoptive father's family hadn't given birth to a boy, so they took me in and sent me to school. Later, they gave birth to two more boys... I also graduated from junior high school and found a job in a factory in town.
"A few days ago, Aunt Zheng suddenly found me..."
Zheng Manru scolded, "Why call me Auntie Zheng? I am your real aunt, little aunt. From now on, just call me little aunt."
Zhang Lushi smiled at her, with a look of familiarity and gratitude in his eyes.
It's all because of her that he has the good life he has now.
Life is full of twists and turns!
“That’s enough!” Qi Jiaojiao rushed over and pushed her mother aside, then shouted at Zhang Lushi, “Your mother was struck to death by lightning! How can you prove that she is my second aunt?
"Even if she is my second aunt, how can you prove that you are her and my father's child? Maybe you were born by her and a strange man on the street!"
"Enough!" Qi Anguo and Old Man Qi shouted at the same time.
Qi Anguo also rushed over and slapped Qi Jiaojiao hard.
He slapped her to the ground in one swoop.
The force was so strong that it hurt.
Zheng Manru was stunned for a moment, then she screamed and rushed over, picked up Qi Jiaojiao to check on her, and found that Qi Jiaojiao was completely dazed, with blood coming out of her ears and mouth.
When Qi Anguo saw her miserable appearance, he immediately regretted it.
But Chinese patriarchs can't let go of their pride. He said to the nanny with a cold face: "Bring the medicine box over and wipe her."
Zheng Manru was shocked, angry, and cold. She turned around and cried, "Even if you find your son now, Jiaojiao is still your daughter! Are you also the kind of person who favors boys over girls? Now that you have a son, your daughter is no longer a person?"
She glanced at Zhang Lushi. There were some things she didn't want to say before in order to maintain a good image, but now she had to say them.
"Besides, my daughter is not wrong. I just heard some news and suspected that he was my second sister's child. I would rather miss him than give up, so I brought him back. As for who his father is, who knows?"
This person could be Zheng Yajun's child. Anyway, she had been struck to death by lightning.
If I'm mistaken, if she's not dead yet...then this person must be Zheng Yajun's child!
In this way, her reputation will be ruined and the possibility of her coming back will be eliminated.
But she doesn't mind having an extra pair of chopsticks and an extra bowl of rice at home, but she absolutely cannot let this wild man dominate her and her daughter!
If he threatens them, he cannot exist!
For a moment, she looked at the man with a hint of murderous intent.
Zhang Lushi sensed it keenly, and shrank his shoulders in fear. The next second, he raised his head and chest and insisted, "I remember my mother told me that my father's name is Qi Anguo! My grandfather's name is Zheng Ke! She also has an older sister named Zheng Suhua...but she didn't say that she also has a younger sister..."
This is very reasonable, and people who know the inside story believe it even more~
Qi Anguo didn't know what to feel for a moment.
"Hmph! You don't even remember when you were born or when your mother died, how can you remember this?" Zheng Manru said.
Zhang Lushi said with some pain on his face: "I don't want to remember the day when my mother died. When I grow up, I don't want to ask about that date. I don't even dare to ask or think about it.
"As for my own birthday, I was still young at that time and had no idea what a birthday was. It felt no different from any other birthday, and I didn't bother to remember it. But my mother asked me to remember my father and grandfather's names so that I could visit them in the capital in the future!"
He had never told Zheng Manru these things when they were in Harbin.
Zheng Manru gritted her teeth in anger. Sure enough, he was on guard against her!
Qi Jiaojiao regained consciousness, and regardless of the pain and sadness, she loudly retorted: "Why didn't you come before? Why are you coming now?"
Zhang Lushi said painfully: "I only remember the name, not the address, I just remember that it seemed to be in the capital.
"Although I have seen the names of my father and grandfather in newspapers a few times, I thought they were the same name, so how could they be my father...
"Later, I thought that was all my hallucinations. I was so eager to have a home...
"Also, my adoptive father and his family don't want to let me go. I have to give them the rest of my monthly salary except for 5 yuan for food."
Okay, it makes sense and Zheng Manru couldn’t find any reason to refute it.
Qi Jiaojiao insisted: "It's up to you to say whatever you want. Anyway, your mother is dead, there is no evidence! Even if she is alive, she can't prove that you are my father's child!"
"Enough!" Qi Anguo shouted again.
If Qi Jiaojiao wasn't still lying on the ground, he would have gone over and slapped her again!
He knows what kind of person Yajun is! She won't! Unless...a young woman who is alone and stranded in a refugee group has no choice!
He didn't dare to think and didn't want to think about what would happen to Zheng Yajun. He would rather believe that this was his child that she conceived at home.
After all, he had noticed it once. She didn't let him touch her during that period, and he even caught her vomiting once.
That day, before she left, she said she wanted to give him a surprise.
He didn't take it seriously, and Zheng Manru came to his house in the afternoon... After that day, he didn't get any surprises, and a few days later, she suddenly left with some luggage.
There has been no news since then.
"Does your mother have any photos left?" Mr. Qi suddenly asked.
As it concerns the Qi family's bloodline, he is still very cautious.
"No." Zhang Lushi said, "My family is too poor. I don't have any money to take pictures."
Mr. Qi frowned slightly. The rumor at the time was that Zheng Yajun took her children shopping in a department store.
You go shopping, can't you even afford to take a few cents or a dollar worth of photos?
"What are your mother's characteristics? Tell me about it." said Mr. Qi.
