It wasn't that Elder Sheng didn't believe in his old brother, but rather that the matter was too mystical and beyond the comprehension of a normal person. In fact, the main reason was that he had never seen such strange and supernatural phenomena. If there really were gods in the world, then why would people bother to work hard? They could just go and pray to the gods.
Apart from Sheng Qing, even Sheng Hantao, one of the male members of the Sheng family, was only half-believing, and the other men in the Sheng family were even less convinced.
The women in the Sheng family were more religious, such as Grandma Sheng. If her husband and son hadn't stopped her, the statue would have had a place in the Sheng family.
Unfortunately, the crackdown has been quite strong in recent years. Displaying things related to gods is considered equivalent to engaging in feudal superstition, and it would be bad if someone with ulterior motives reported it.
Moreover, the Sheng family itself are meritorious officials and should set an example.
However, in the near future, Elder Sheng's worldview will collapse.
Sister Wan will give them an unforgettable shock.
"Recently, Brother Fu invited a woman named Gu Lizhu to see him for treatment. I wonder what's going on? By the way, more and more people want to visit the Fu family to acknowledge their relatives lately."
Sheng Chuxuan thought of something and pushed Fu Wanning in front of the two elders, "Grandpa, Jingchen and Wanning's mother is named Fu Qingning, and their father should be Fu Yanzhou. Is it possible that they are the real parents?"
That's what she said, but deep down she was convinced that the Fu siblings must be Old Master Fu's grandchildren.
"There have been too many coincidences lately. All those who come to our door say their mother is named Fu Qingning." The more Cheng looked at them, the more familiar they seemed. He already had an idea in mind. "But the Fu siblings do look very alike. However, we haven't seen Qingning for a long time. Once the Sheng family's matter is resolved, I'll take you to see Brother Fu. To be honest, it's been quite a while since we've seen each other, old brother."
"If you ask me, why bother looking for Gu Lizhu? She's just a division commander's daughter. I've heard that she was Jingchen's suitor, but after being rejected, she chased him all the way to the Fu family in Xiangyang Village, offering them a lot of food to secure the marriage. It's just that she didn't expect Jingchen wasn't his biological son. Gu Lizhu has some ability, but she's arrogant and proud. I don't think she can solve Brother Fu's family's problems."
"When it comes to medical skills, Wanwan is second to none. With Wanwan on the case, no illness is a piece of cake. Last time I called Brother Fu and mentioned it, but Brother Fu didn't believe in Wanwan's changes."
Old Master Sheng also felt there was a resemblance, but he would only know for sure once the two met. After all, there were too many coincidences of people sharing the same name these days; he had encountered it several times himself. "Alright, Wanwan is someone we've watched grow up; she's no different from our own granddaughter. You know her well..."
It's no wonder the elders didn't believe it; the original Gu Wanwan's abilities were undeniable.
Old Cheng knew that saying more would be pointless, so he just watched his old brother with a smile, eagerly anticipating the moment when the sharp-tongued Old Sheng would be proven wrong.
After Madam Cheng and Madam Cheng helped Aunt Chou to wash and clean up, they took her downstairs.
Looking at the other woman's clean yet scarred face, Sheng Chuxuan felt a surge of familiarity. "Wanwan, Aunt Ugly's face is just as bad as our aunt's. They're both unrecognizable; even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them..."
Madam Cheng served her a bowl of millet porridge, let it cool slightly, and then handed it to her. "Millet porridge is good for the stomach. Sister, drink some first. From now on, your suffering will soon be over."
For over a year, Aunt Chou had been living in constant fear, pain, and despair. But after meeting Wanwan, the girl who recognized her at first sight, she knew her hope had been rekindled. "Thank you... I believe in Wanwan. I can get through this. I can expose... Ahh..."
Madam Cheng frowned deeply. "Is there a solution to this?"
