"Not long ago, my family held a coming-of-age ceremony for me. I'm fifteen this year," Shu Yan said.
Dongxue looked at Shuyan in surprise. It seemed that this girl had forgotten everything that had happened in the past ten years.
"Miss Shu, what I'm about to say might be hard for you to accept right away, but you need to know it." Gu Xin looked at Shu Yan's face, paying close attention to her emotions, intending to speak slowly and stop if anything seemed amiss.
Gu Xin remembered that her sister and Grandma Xiao had both said that the human brain is the most complex structure in the human body, and that if the brain is damaged, all sorts of things can happen.
Ten years ago, Shu Yan injured the back of her head and was accidentally found by Zhang Liushi. After waking up, she had amnesia and could not remember anything about herself.
Now, she was accidentally pushed down by Fatty Wang, which injured her forehead. After waking up, she remembered things from ten years ago, but she couldn't remember the past ten years.
Gu Xin always believed what Gu Nian said. Of course, she also believed what Grandma Xiao said, after all, Grandma Xiao had taught her a lot.
Judging from Shu Yan's current state, isn't the human brain a very complex structure?
"Please speak, Miss Gu." Shu Yan was a little nervous, feeling that she had overlooked something important, but she couldn't remember what it was.
“Miss Shu, your coming-of-age ceremony was held by your family ten years ago,” Gu Xin said.
She felt that the first thing to do was to let people know that it was now ten years later, not ten years ago as you remember it.
Shu Yan was stunned, while Gu Xin waited for her to process what had happened.
"Miss Gu, you must be joking! How could this be? How could this be..." After a long while, Shu Yan finally murmured.
“I’m not joking, I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the people at the inn what year it is. You can say that Dongxue and I conspired to tease you, but I couldn’t possibly conspire with everyone. Also, we’re meeting for the first time today, Miss Shu, do you think I would joke with someone I’ve just met?” Gu Xin said seriously, then paused and continued, “And your cousin Wang Shoucheng, if it were ten years ago, do you think I would have become friends with him at my age?”
Shu Yan shook her head; her head was starting to hurt again.
“Miss Shu, don’t overthink it. Please listen to me, okay? Your father should arrive in Tongzhou tonight or tomorrow morning. It’s okay if you don’t know me or don’t believe me. But you will definitely meet your father, right? You’ll know whether what I’m saying is true or not then. But right now, there are some things I need to tell you. I’m worried that when you see your father and he tells you the situation, you’ll get emotional, which won’t be good for your head. I’m telling you now so you have some idea of what’s going on, and when you see your father, you’ll be able to control your emotions a little,” Gu Xin explained.
"Alright, Miss Gu, please speak. I'll believe you for now." Shu Yan took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and finally decided to listen to Gu Xin finish speaking.
“I don’t know how you got to Tongzhou. When I met you, you couldn’t remember anything. The woman with you said you were her daughter-in-law. Ten years ago, you were washing clothes by the river in the village when you floated down from upstream. She reported it to the authorities, but no one came to claim you, so she had no choice but to raise you in her home,” Gu Xin said.
"Son, daughter-in-law?" Shu Yan was startled by this identity, and her face turned even paler.
