Chapter 102 Double Eyelids The Internet Has Memory
The next second, Zhang Li's face appeared on the other half of the screen. She was talking excitedly to the camera, and her saliva flying reminded Yang Guisi of the unbearable memories of her childhood.
Zhang Li only realized the call she had just made had been picked up after Yang Zong reminded her. Yang Guisi, wearing makeup today, had sharp features, but now, staring at them expressionlessly, she felt a strange sense of panic in her heart.
She raised her chin and said sarcastically, "Oh, the big star finally came to recognize us?"
Yang Guisi remained silent, instead gazing at the tiny soul sitting beside her—Yang Junyi, staring intently at the screen, observing the parents who had once put her to death. But her eyes held no emotion, neither resentment nor love, as if she were looking at a stranger.
Yang Junyi didn't have the resentment Yang Guisi had harbored towards Zhang Li and Yang Zong. She was too young to understand the evil in human nature, and naturally, she had no reason to resent it.
After a while, Yang Guisi asked Zhang Li, "I haven't asked you this question in all these years. Now that we have time to talk, can you please answer me?"
Zhang Li saw that she hadn't reacted at all to her insults. Instead, she acted politely, as if she were giving an interview. She was momentarily at a loss for words. But after glancing at her husband's expression, she said, "Go ahead and ask."
"What were you thinking when you killed your own child that year?" Yang Guisi asked.
Zhang Li didn't expect this kind of question. She panicked and said defensively, "I didn't kill her. It was snowing so hard, who knew she would run away on her own?..."
Zhang Li didn't understand the internet. She didn't realize that, thanks to the preconceived fanbase, all the traffic in this livestream was currently being generated by Yang Guisi. Even if Zhang Li was right, she'd still be three points behind him, let alone if she wasn't. She looked at the barrage of words in the comments. Even though she barely knew the characters, she could tell they were filled with profanity. She opened her mouth to say something, but her husband suddenly grabbed her arm.
"Guisi, you misunderstood. My sister refused to come back on her own. Maybe she went home with your aunt." Yang Zong told these lies with ease.
His expression was very indifferent. If one had to comment, one could see a gloom in his eyes and brows, and he was very impatient with everything that was happening before his eyes. But now, seeing the momentum pouring towards Yang Guisi, he suddenly changed his mind and said to smooth things over, "Don't blame your mother. She is uneducated and ignorant."
"So you're not dumb." Yang Guisi looked at the so-called head of the family who had been hiding behind his wife. She treated his excuses as bullshit and asked, "Every decision made by our family over the years, including the choice between me and Junyi that year, was it all decided by you without your approval?"
But he didn't want to be the bad guy, so he pushed it all onto Zhang Li.
"You are too young. How many things that happened back then can you remember? You just kept it all in your heart and didn't tell us. After so many years, it has become prejudice." Yang Zong sighed.
This led to a situation where everyone was sticking to their own opinions. Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of her, Yang Guisi knew that Junyi hadn't followed her aunt back then, so he didn't want to say anything more. "Since you're so insincere, I'm hanging up."
"You unfilial child! I worked so hard to carry you for eight months before giving birth to you! Twins, do you know how hard it is to give birth to twins? I have spent half my life, but one child died young and the other one is unfilial. Damn it, how can I live like this!" Seeing that Yang Guisi was about to end the conversation, Zhang Li fell off the stool and sat on the ground, slapping the floor and crying loudly.
There was a young man next to her, Yang Hong, Yang Guisi's cousin. He was a little confused and wanted to ask Yang Zong something in a low voice, but was stopped by Yang Zong's eyes.
At this moment, someone suddenly spoke:
Yuxiang: [By the way, I think I've seen this woman named Zhang Li before. Does her name match?]
Yuenao: [Where did you see it? In a video someone uploaded a few days ago?]
Yuxiang: [No, no, no, it was many years ago. That year, she sat in front of my store and threw a tantrum. The impression was so deep that I can never forget her face.]
Yuenao: [Are these some trolls from somewhere? What was the exact time and location? Do you have any evidence? You said you've seen him, so what? I even said I saw Guisi many years ago.]
Yuxiang: [I can go find it, but where is your evidence?]
Then both sides stopped talking.
Then someone suddenly asked:
[Straight up, I'm a bit crazy with my homework, but I wanted to ask, since both Onisi's parents have single eyelids, how come their daughter has double eyelids? Is this even possible?]
[Hiss…good question, let me check it out]
[It’s over. I’ve returned all the books I’ve learned over the years to my teacher.]
[No, double eyelids are dominant genes, while single eyelids are recessive genes. If both parents have single eyelids, that is, both genes are AA, then the children will also be AA, and they cannot have double eyelids.]
[That Oniji is...]
When Yang Guisi saw this, she was stunned. She suddenly looked at Yang Junyi beside her - both sisters had double eyelids.
On the other side, Zhang Li, Yang Zong and Yang Hong had low cultural levels and were unable to understand these sentences for a while.
Yang Guisi and Chang Xile's hearts were filled with turmoil, and they exchanged a glance. Doesn't this mean that Zhang Li and Yang Zong are not Yang Guisi and Yang Junyi's biological parents?
The next second, Yuxiang, who had disappeared for a long time, reappeared. She sent a video link, @Yuenao's account ID, and said: "My family recorded the video to keep as evidence, and it's still there. Go watch it, I guarantee it's the same person."
Yang Guisi's device was still broadcasting live, and Chang Xile took out his mobile phone and clicked on the link posted by Yuxiang.
The video is in front of a restaurant, with a busy street behind it and a sign of "Ganzhou Xiaolongbao" hanging on the shop opposite.
The video quality was poor, looking very old-fashioned. The camera was shaky, and the background noise was filled with voices, making it quite noisy. But despite the din, the voice of the woman in the center of the picture was incredibly penetrating. She sat on the ground, wailing, "Your restaurant is making people sick. If you don't pay me back today, this won't end!"
The woman still looked very young and had a slim figure. Although there had been a big change over the years, it was still possible to tell that this was the young Zhang Li from more than ten years ago.
Yuxiang: [It happened in Ganzhou City. Back then, she and her husband complained about food safety issues at our restaurant and took it to court. They eventually called the police and found out they staged it themselves. I have the verdict here if anyone wants to see it.]
Although Yuenuo still hadn't replied, no one doubted it now. But Yang Guisi's attention was elsewhere. She saw the time code in the lower right corner of the video: September 2, 2002.
Her eyes widened as she questioned Zhang Li, "What's with this video? Aren't you pregnant with twins back home waiting to give birth? Ganzhou City is a million miles away from Yangjia Village, and you don't look pregnant in the video!"
Zhang Li never imagined that after all these years, someone would still have preserved her image. She didn't understand the internet, nor had she heard the popular saying, "The internet has memory."
She was speechless and could not remember the words she had intended to say to scold Yang Guisi. She just subconsciously looked at Yang Zong for help.
The man cursed and then turned off the live broadcast connection angrily.
Yang Guisi stood up. If it weren't for the screen, he would have grabbed Zhang Li by the collar and asked her where her biological parents were.
But she realized that trying to find Zhang Li and Yang Zong in this vast sea of people was like looking for a needle in a haystack. So she sat back in her chair, lost in thought.
Yang Junyi sat off to the side, unable to comprehend the situation. She tried to tug at her sister's sleeve, but her fingers slipped through the fabric. "What do you mean, sister? What were Mom and Dad talking about?" she asked.
Yang Guisi looked at her and murmured, "They are not my parents..."
What exactly happened? Were the sisters abandoned and then adopted? Or were they trafficked by Zhang Li and Yang Zong?
For a moment, she didn't even know whether she should continue to feel resentment.
The live broadcast room has already exploded:
[Oh my god, what the hell is going on? It’s almost 4 a.m. and I can’t sleep at all…!]
[I don’t know what to say… Is the anchor okay?]
[What is the host saying to the air? It makes me feel a little creepy.]
[Lan Tong was stunned. She didn't even know what to say to Gui Si.]
Yuenao: [@Yuxiang, come check out my profile. Don't you look a lot like Guisi? If it weren't for the age difference, I'd really think they were the same person.]
Although the incident was partly caused by the dispute between Yuenao and Yuxiang, she arrived at the battlefield too late, and no one cared who Guisi looked like. In such a big world, isn't it common to have a similar face to someone else?
Only Yuxiang, who was @ed, replied politely: [It really looks like her, about 80% similar. Who is this?]
Chang Xile saw that Yang Guisi was still in a daze, so he went to Yuenao's homepage to take a look.
The woman in the photo leaned against the window, moonlight streaming down her dark hair, making her appear quite demure. Although her temperament was completely different from Yang Guisi's, their eyebrows, nose shape, and even the curved curve of their lips were practically cut from the same mold.
Yang Junyi had come close to Chang Xile at some point. She looked at the glowing brick in Chang Xile's hand with some curiosity, and was fascinated by it.
Anping originally stood up and wanted to stop her, but after realizing that the ghost had no ill intentions, he leaned back silently into Chang Xile's neck.
Yang Junyi stared at the screen carefully for a while, then shouted excitedly: "Aunt! Aunt!"
She turned around and glanced anxiously at Yang Guisi, then turned back to try to grab Chang Xile's phone: "Aunt, where's the birthday cake? Mom asked me to get it."
Her hand once again passed through the phone. Yang Junyi looked at her empty hands and suddenly burst into tears. She had no tears, only dry howls, blood streaking from the corners of her eyes. "I'm so cold... Mom asked me to get the cake... Where are you, aunt?"
Yang Guisi finally came to her senses. She looked at the photo on Chang Xile's phone and said in disbelief, "Is this... Yang Xue?"
Yang Xue, their aunt whom they had not seen for many years, appeared on the mobile phone page through a stranger on the Internet.
