In view of the continuous journey for several days, Mrs. Wei was somewhat exhausted. If she continued to travel all the way to Shuiqing Brigade, she might not be able to see her daughter and would collapse from exhaustion first. So the group decided to rest for two days before setting off again.
Although she was anxious, the matter of recognizing her relatives could not be rushed.
Over the years, there have been people pretending to be her biological daughter, and many of them have come to her house to claim recognition as their biological daughter. Unfortunately, none of them are real daughters. They just want to curry favor with the Lin and Wei families. Over time, she almost collapsed and gave up.
Maybe she shouldn't be so obsessed anymore, or maybe her daughter is no longer alive.
When it comes to finding his daughter, the adopted daughter Lin Shiwei is particularly concerned. Although the adopted daughter is not his biological daughter, she is a filial and good daughter. Every time he misses his daughter, she is by his side.
In her early years, the adopted daughter was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by County Magistrate Lin and insisted on marrying the poor boy Ye Huaili at that time. When the father and daughter were in conflict, the adopted daughter never forgot herself and went home to be filial to her adoptive mother whenever she was free. She asked about her mother's well-being during festivals and the mother and daughter had a deep relationship. She used the Wei family's connections to arrange for her adopted daughter to be a teacher easily, promoted Ye Huaili to the position of factory director, gave her adopted daughter a generous dowry, and brought a wealthy life to her adopted daughter's in-laws.
With the help of the Lin and Wei families, the Ye couple lived a smooth life. Ye Huaili also relied on the Yue family to rise from a poor boy to an upper-class person. With the connections of the Lin and Wei families, he got to know many high-ranking officials.
Compared with the illegitimate daughter Lin Xiaoshan and Hu Shuo, the adopted daughter and her husband are successful and motivated. She herself values the adopted daughter's family very much. A while ago, she happened to hear someone mention that the adopted daughter and her husband found a well-matched man, the grandson of the county magistrate, for their granddaughter Ye Youmeng.
But before that, when Ye Youmeng went to the countryside, she called and revealed that she had a boyfriend, an educated youth who had been sent to the countryside. Because of his life-saving grace, she fell in love with him, and the two naturally got together.
Now the adopted daughter and her husband are bringing Ke Qi to visit their relatives. Isn’t this a bad marriage?
But the adopted daughter is not a reckless person, so is there some hidden story?
However, when it comes to important matters such as marriage, sometimes one still has to seek the advice of one's parents. It is better to find someone who is well-matched and knows each other well than to find another Phoenix man. Ye Youmeng is simple and inexperienced, and is at the age when she is easiest to deceive.
She knew that some educated youth could not stand hardship, and when they saw girls from wealthy families, they would have evil intentions and hope to get rich through Yue family.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but worry about her granddaughter's situation. Fortunately, her adopted daughter and her husband came and helped her granddaughter to choose the right person. If the person was a good one, she could look around first. If the other party had ulterior motives, it would be better to break up as soon as possible.
Over at the Shuiqing Brigade, Old Lady Liu and Old Man Liu learned about the recent situation of their adopted daughter Lin Xueyao's family, so they brought their sons and daughters-in-law to Qin Wenyan's house to play.
The Liu family is quite ridiculous. They directly ask for money and houses, and their greedy faces are so arrogant.
In fact, the Liu family had come here several times before. At that time, the second branch was weak and could be bullied, so the Liu family took whatever they wanted. Now they still think that Qin Wenyan's family are poor little guys who were bullied at will.
According to Mrs. Qin, Qin Wenyan and his family worked for others and earned dozens of yuan just by selling mountain products in just a few days, not including their wages.
Coming here today, they must get the money and the job, and not let go of the house. Why can Mrs. Qin occupy it, but they, as the Yue family, can't?
Old Lady Liu was used to being domineering. She pointed in the direction of Qin Wanqing and said, "You silly girl, I order you as a grandmother. You marry my silly grandson. I can let you marry into the Liu family, which is a close relationship. You should be grateful."
"We are all family, so we won't give you a betrothal gift or hold a wedding banquet. After all, it costs money. But you must bring a dowry of three turns and one ring, 500 yuan, plus a house. I heard that you snatched the house back from Granny Qin. It's not a new house, but at least it's a blue brick and tile house, so we won't be picky. You should move out as soon as possible so that we can move in. Bring all the luggage from the Liu family."
"Also, transfer your purchasing work to my sons and grandchildren. They are efficient and tactful, much better than you weak and disabled people. Just pay them five dollars a day."
Old Man Liu completely agreed with his wife's words, "This is the reward our Liu family deserves. Lin Xueyao owes us!"
The lion's mouth was so big that even the villagers couldn't stand it anymore.
Mrs. Qin and Aunt Guihua were watching the fun nearby. They couldn't live in the blue brick and tile house, so the second branch couldn't expect to live there comfortably.
It’s typical that if I can’t get it, I’d rather give it to the Liu family. You, the second branch, can never get it.
Lin Shiwei was happy to see this happen. If Granny Qin couldn't be defeated, then Granny Liu would be allowed to take over. There would always be someone to suppress the second branch of the Qin family.
"If the Liu family hadn't adopted Lin Xueyao, she would have starved to death. The Liu family only saved her life, not murdered her mother or father. People should be grateful. Your adoptive parents raised you when you were young, so you have to take care of them when they are old. You should fulfill your filial piety for Lin Xueyao."
These words were said righteously, attempting to morally blackmail the second branch of the Qin family, and Qin Wenyan and his son were so angry that they trembled all over. "Xue Yao's whereabouts are still unknown. You don't worry about her whereabouts, but you want to force us to give you money and a house. You are foster parents, but you have never raised Xue Yao."
"Xueyao and I are both miserable people. We earn our own work points to support ourselves. We also have to wash your clothes and cook for you, and take care of your food, drink, and toilet. Being a slave is worse than a dog's. How dare you talk about filial piety? Parents are not kind, and you expect your adopted daughter to be filial?"
"You must have forgotten that you forced Xue Yao to marry a widower and wanted to sell her adopted daughter for money to marry her son. Xue Yao would rather die than obey you, and you beat her until she was only breathing. You thought she was dead, but if I hadn't happened to pass by, they would have already made up their minds to destroy the body and get rid of Xue Yao. You buried her in the dirt until only her head was left. She was almost suffocated to death by you!"
Sheng Chuxuan was furious. "You treat human life as worthless and kill people indiscriminately. You deserve to die!"
In the past, Qin Wenyan and his wife had been patient because of the grace of adoption, but now they could no longer tolerate anything. Sister Wan said that good people are often bullied, "I decided to marry Xueyao right away. I gave them fifty yuan and they agreed to sign a severance agreement. From then on, they have no relationship with Xueyao anymore. We will never mention your Liu family's murder of people. Why don't you let us go?"
"Old Liu, don't keep silent. Without your connivance and instigation, Old Lady Liu and the others would dare to act so recklessly. Don't think that I don't know your dirty thoughts. Xueyao told me that you didn't raise Xueyao out of kindness. In addition to wanting money from Xueyao's biological parents, you also wanted to take advantage of Xueyao. You tried to take advantage of Xueyao time and time again, and Xueyao fought hard to protect her innocence."
Old Lady Liu glared at her husband in frustration, "You old fool, you actually betrayed me..."
The villagers were furious when they heard this. "Old Liu looks honest, but I didn't expect him to be so dishonest in private. He even wants to touch his adopted daughter. He is so stupid at his age. He often cheats on Old Lady Liu."
