Chapter 250 The Truth Comes to Light

After hearing this, Xia Juanjuan felt a little relieved.

It seems that the descendants of the Li family are all good people. After all, Shen Wanxue entrusted her affairs to the right person.

Li Jie was even more confused: "Sister, you said the jade belonged to our family, and then you said it wasn't. What's going on?"

Li Zhaodi glanced at Xia Juanjuan, sighed, and said, "This matter has been kept secret for so many years, let's just talk about it today!"

As he said this, he explained that Li Zhan was not their biological brother, but was fostered in the Li family by a couple, and that the jade was a token of trust.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

There was no surprise on Liu Lan's face, and it was obvious that she had known it all along.

Li Zhaodi glared at Liu Lan with hatred: "Fourth brother is so old now. Even if his parents don't come to look for him, our family should return the jade to him, tell him the truth, and let him look for his biological parents himself. My father must have told Liu Lan! I really didn't expect that Liu Lan actually kept it a secret! Bah! I guess she just wanted to steal someone else's jade and keep it for herself!"

Liu Lan shrank back.

Li Zhaodi actually guessed it right about this matter.

When Li's father was about to die, he told Liu Lan to give the jade to Li Zhan and tell him the truth. He was still muttering that he was sorry for his parents by letting the child join the army at such a young age, and then he died.

Although Lizhan had only been in the army for a few years at that time, he had already sent most of his allowance back home every month.

Coupled with the jade pendant that Old Man Li took out and gave to her before his death, Liu Lan became greedy.

If I tell Li Zhan that he is not Li's father's son, then the jade will be gone, but what if Li Zhan stops sending his allowance home? How much of a loss will that be?

Fortunately, when Old Man Li talked about this, she was the only one there, so Liu Lan hid it with peace of mind!

After hearing this, Li Jie was silent for a while, then he suddenly rushed to Li Qiang, raised his hand and grabbed Li Qiang's collar, dragged him to the ground screaming, and asked sternly: "Li Lao Er, you must go to Jing City with me now to find the jade!"

How much care has their family received from Fourth Brother and Xia Juanjuan in recent years?

Now that we know that the jade is related to Li Zhan's life experience, how can we just let it go?

If he didn't have the jade, what would Lizhan use as proof to meet his biological parents?

Li Qiang had never seen Li Jie look so serious and scary before, and he laughed so hard that his body was terrified: "Li Lao San... No, Third, Third Brother, let's talk it over nicely! Second Brother... I... Didn't I tell you that the jade has been sold? Beijing is so big, we can't find it even if we go there! And we have to pay for the trip! The jade... was only sold for thirty yuan, which is not worth much... Besides, even if we find a buyer, we still... need money to buy the jade back! Seeing that we are in a hurry, the buyer might even ask for a huge sum of money. Where can we get the money?"

Li Jie corrected him coldly: "It's not us, but you... You, your wife, and your mother, where are you going to get the money! Don't you have any on hand? I don't care if you smash your pot or sell your iron to buy a house, just give it to me! Do you want a lion to ask for a huge price? Even if it goes up to a hundred yuan, you have to give me the jade back! Otherwise... you can try!"

The unspoken threat was even more terrifying, especially since Li Jie looked like he wanted to eat someone!

Li Qiang was a bully who feared the strong and weak. Seeing Li Jie like this, he was so scared that his legs went limp. He could only cry and beg, "Third brother... Third brother, can't I... I go and borrow money? Just let me go first..."

Li Jie didn't say much. He pushed Li Qiang to the ground with his arm, and then said coldly: "I'll give you one day. If you can borrow the money, I'll go to Beijing with you!"

The longer time passes, the lower the possibility of getting it back, but without money you can't do anything.

Li Jie actually didn't expect Li Qiang to raise money, he mainly wanted to leave himself time to raise money.

Of course, he didn't intend to be a sucker. He would charge Li Qiang with all the money he spent on the search for Yu, and he would definitely get the debt back in the future!

Xia Juanjuan looked at the scene in front of her, and to be honest, her heart was warm and she was really moved.

At first, Li Jie didn't know the origin of the jade and was still thinking about dividing the money. But after he found out, he became like Li Zhaodi and didn't want the money, but just thought about how to get the jade back.

Lizhan is blessed to have such an older sister and brother.

Xia Juanjuan walked over and said softly, "Big sister, Third brother, I thank you on behalf of Lizhan."

Li Zhaodi said apologetically: "Juanjuan, please don't say that. It is our Li family that is sorry to Xiaozhan! If I had returned to my parents' home earlier, I wouldn't... Alas..."

Xia Juanjuan didn't say anything more, and asked softly: "Sister, it's getting late, and it's New Year's Eve this year. You can stay here today. My house has a place to stay and a roof. Stay at my house tonight, and let's celebrate the New Year together as a family!"

Li Jie and Zhou Qiuhe also tried to persuade him to stay.

Zhou Qiuhe witnessed the series of events that happened today as if she was listening to a storyteller. She just felt that... the life story of her fourth brother was even more bizarre and tortuous than the legends told by the storyteller. She was stunned.

Only then did I come to my senses.

Li Zhaodi didn't refuse and agreed, but couldn't help sighing, "Oh...it would be great if Xiao Zhan was at home? I haven't seen him for more than ten years."

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Don't be sad, big sister. We should visit each other more often in the future, and we will have a chance to meet again."

If Li Zhaodi was a greedy person and was only looking for a share of the money from the sale of the jade, then Xia Juanjuan would not plan to have any dealings with her in the future.

But since her heart was good, she would naturally be happy to become related to her.

Li Jie and Zhou Qiuhe also said, "Yes, big sister. From now on, if you don't come back to your parents' home often, we will have to bring our families to visit your relatives!"

After hearing this, Li Zhaodi felt warm in his heart and his nose couldn't help but feel sore.

She was really... How could she be so stupid when she was young, ignoring such good brothers and severing ties with them...

"Ah! As long as you still recognize me as your elder sister, I am not afraid that you will get bored. You will definitely come back often in the future!"

Li Jie smiled and said, "Next time, bring your brother-in-law and the kids at home..."

At night, after eating the New Year's Eve dinner, Li Zhaodi also met the triplets and loved them very much.

The three little brats were smart and sweet-talkers. After Xia Juanjuan taught them for a while, they could vaguely call Li Zhaodi "Auntie".

Li Zhaodi was so happy! I couldn't help but be moved.

She had heard from Li Jie that Li Zhan now received several dozen yuan in allowance every month and was leading a very busy life.

In her and Li Jie's families, who doesn't live in tight conditions? They are just two old relatives.

If other people knew that she and Lijie were not biological siblings, they would probably want to stay away from them immediately!

How can there be someone like Xia Juanjuan who lets her own son call her aunt?

Li Jie had similar thoughts, so he secretly pulled Xia Juanjuan aside and said, "Juanjuan, let me tell you something..."

Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Third brother, what's the matter? Why are you so serious?"

Li Jie looked at Xiao Wen, Xiao Wu and Bei Bei, and then said, "From now on... let Xiao Wen, Xiao Wu and Bei Bei live with our family..."

Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment, then she understood and said with a smile: "Third brother, you think Lizhan is not your biological brother, so you want to take Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Beibei back?"

Li Jie glanced at her and said, "They... are my eldest brother's children after all. There is no reason for you and Li Zhan to raise them..."

Xia Juanjuan frowned after hearing this and said softly, "Third brother, from my personal point of view, the three kids' household registration is under my and Lizhan's name. I don't intend to abandon them and let you, third brother, raise them. Lizhan... I think even if he knows that he is not your biological brother, he will not agree to this. However..."

She smiled and said, "After all, Li Zhan is not at home now. Let's put this matter aside for now and discuss it after Li Zhan comes back, okay?"

After listening to this, Li Jie thought it made sense, so he nodded and agreed.

That night, Li Zhaodi stayed in the two rooms built by Li Jun.

Later, Xia Juanjuan used the cotton and cloth in the space to make several quilts, and then took out an old one to make the bed for Li Zhaodi to sleep on.

Li Zhaodi touched the thick quilt. Although it was old, she was moved. She asked worriedly, "Juanjuan, you really didn't let me sleep on the quilt on your bed?"

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Really? It's an old one that we used before. The ones on the bed in our room are all new! Sister, you can sleep well."

After hearing this, Li Zhaodi finally felt relieved.

After Xia Juanjuan returned home, she went to visit Shen Wanxue.

As soon as I went out the back door, I saw Shen Wanxue waiting outside the back door.

Xia Juanjuan hurriedly said, "Auntie, it's so cold, why didn't you call me when you came?"

Shen Wanxue's eyes were red, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Juanjuan, what your elder sister-in-law said during the day... is it all true?"
