Chen Yuan knew the details of Yan Ru's situation, which he found out when Fu Haozhe stayed at his house for a few days.
"Chu Chu got engaged to the regiment commander of Yan Ru's army. When Yan Ru heard about it, he went to Chu Chu's unit to make a scene. Yan Xiaomin also made things difficult for Chu Chu and acted in a weird way several times. Yan Ru said Chu Chu looked like her grandmother when she was young, so Chu Chu became suspicious."
"Yes, Chuchu looks exactly like my mom when she was young, and I look like my dad." Lan Guihua held up a photo of Chen Chuchu and smiled with red eyes, "My mom was very pretty when she was young."
As mothers, Hu Yumei knew what Lan Guihua was thinking. "Chuchu has been pretty since she was little, with a chubby face and very cute. She was also very brave and dared to learn surgical operations. She was also very good at studying. After graduating from high school, she couldn't continue her studies, so she followed a surgeon in our hospital to learn medical skills. Now she is a surgeon in a military hospital."
Grandpa Yan's eyes brightened. It was such a surprise that his granddaughter was so capable.
I just wonder if he will be like Yan Ru and look down on me as an old farmer.
He knew the reason why Yan Ru went to the army and didn't come back, that is, he wanted to get rid of his countryman identity. His daughter Yan Xiaomin was the same, she looked down on them.
Since she married Liu Sijin and became a school teacher, she has not returned home, for fear that others will know that she has a farmer father.
She didn't come back and didn't allow them to visit her in the army.
When they first got married, he didn't know and thought about growing some vegetables and raising chickens and ducks at home, so he could give some to her.
When I arrived at the army, I was not allowed to enter the door.
When the daughter saw him, the first thing she asked was: "Dad! What are you doing here? Don't you think I'm embarrassed enough? Don't come here again. You're so dirty, where can I put my face? Leave your things and go back!"
I got up early in the morning, drank two bowls of porridge, took a bus from home to the county, and after arriving in the city, I walked to the army. It was already past lunch time.
He was tired, hungry and thirsty, but his daughter turned a blind eye to him. She didn't say a single nice word to him and just took the things and left, not caring whether he lived or died.
He knew then that he could no longer rely on this daughter.
After marrying a military officer, she felt that she was superior to him. Even her father looked down on her, so who else could she look up to?
When he got home, he told his wife about the situation, and she saw it more clearly than he did.
"A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. She looks down on us, so we won't bother to complain. Don't go there in the future, and just pretend that we don't have this relative."
Later, when the grandson was born, the daughter sent a message asking for someone from home to help, not the old woman, and specifically asked for Yan Ru.
The old woman refused to let him go: "Why should you go? Isn't she capable? Find a way yourself. Our family doesn't owe her anything."
Yan Ru said, "I want to go. My aunt's family needs me. What's the point of doing farm work at home every day? I want to join the army. In three years, I will be old enough and maybe I can find a job in the army."
She insisted on going, and her family couldn't stop her, so they let her go.
She did well, and I heard she had learned dancing and was admitted to the art troupe. Two years ago, her son hurt his waist, and wrote to her, asking her to send some money back to treat his waist, but Yan Ru ignored him.
Last year, his legs were swollen and he couldn't walk due to rheumatism. The eldest grandson secretly wrote a letter to Yan Ru, asking her to send some money back, but his letter fell on deaf ears.
A few years ago, I received a rare letter from her, saying that she was engaged and asked her family to make furniture for her as a dowry.
My son and daughter-in-law are not happy about it and haven't replied yet.
Who would have thought that such a thing would happen again? It seems that they don’t have to pay for her dowry. Let’s go find her biological parents!
"Thank you! You have trained Chuchu very well."
Lan Guihua knew that Hu Yumei did not treat the child as an outsider and raised him wholeheartedly. Regardless of whether the child could recognize her or not, she should say thank you.
"She is our only child, so we should have taken good care of her. But my son didn't have such good luck." Thinking of her son's experience, Hu Yumei burst into tears with heartache, "That family stole him away and didn't treat him well. They beat and scolded him from childhood to adulthood. Not only did they not have enough food and warm clothes, but they also ordered him to do all the housework.
I signed up for the army secretly, and was seriously injured. When I went to the hospital to visit him, they didn't even give me an eggshell. As soon as they entered the door, they shouted for money. I didn't want to let them go easily. "
"We can't let him go." Grandma Yan was indignant. "That family's character is definitely problematic. Although Yan Ru grew up in our home, he is selfish and only cares about himself, not others.
She was getting married, so she wrote to my family and asked them to prepare furniture for her. She hadn't given a penny to the family over the years, so what right did she have to ask her father to prepare furniture for her? I don't know how she had the nerve to ask for that."
Yan Fengchai sighed and said, "No matter if he is my own child or not, I have raised him for more than ten years. He usually helps the family a little, so I am not reluctant to give him a few pieces of furniture.
There are many fir trees planted in the private plot, which is perfect for making furniture. But I just can't stand her energy, as if the family owes her something."
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly: "People's personalities are innate. Selfish and cold temperaments are inherited and cannot be taught. From childhood to adulthood, we didn't teach Chuchu much, but she was well-behaved and sensible. Everyone in our compound likes her."
Grandpa Yan waved his hand at his son and said, "I think there is no need to make furniture. She has biological parents. Let them worry about it! Making furniture for marriage is the man's business. It has nothing to do with us, the woman."
Hu Yumei looked at the Yan family with sympathy. It seemed that Yan Ru's personality was exactly the same as her son's adoptive mother. They both only cared about themselves and didn't care about others.
Fortunately, it was Chuchu who gave the baby to them. If it was Yan Ru, she would probably be furious.
Chuchu has never been a worry to anyone since she was little. She does everything by herself, except not liking to go into the kitchen. She knows everything else.
Looking at his watch, Wu Jun suggested: "For this case, we need to call the parties involved. Not only you adults need to be present, but the three children must also be present. This is the typical case in the county this year."
Yan Fengchai and Lan Guihua were both a little nervous. They could go with them, but whether Yan Ru could be moved was not up to them.
Chen Yuan knew they were in trouble, so he took the initiative to say, "Just follow me. I'll take care of Yan Ru's problem, and I'll also call Chu Chu, and I'll also call my son.
I just want you to go to Sanduo Village in Sanduo Town, and our three families will get together to resolve the matter. Our children will also know who their biological parents are, and after that, we can do whatever we need to do next."
Hu Yumei was afraid that the Yan family would be embarrassed: "You guys wait at home for us to come pick you up. Chuchu's boyfriend is the regiment commander of the army. I will ask him to drive over and also call Chuchu to come back and let her get to know her family."
This was not a big deal. Lan Guihua started crying again, holding Hu Yumei's hand and thanking her repeatedly.
She knew that the daughter was not hers, but no one believed it. She wanted to look for her, but was stopped by her family.
Unexpectedly, her guess was correct. Her daughter was not Yan Ru.
