Lu Jiaguang was very perceptive. He asked, "Jiaxin, you just said that the trafficker could accurately call out my uncle's name and my name? How did she know?"

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "I only said my hometown is Feng County, and the old woman asked if my dad was Lu Hongjun from the Sijiucheng Department Store. She also said that my uncle Lu Tiejun had been the party secretary for more than 20 years, and everyone in the surrounding area knew that he liked to show off."

"What's the other person's name? Where is he from?"

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "She didn't tell me her name. She just cried to me that her daughter-in-law was vicious and her son couldn't tolerate her. She also told me that there were few good stepmothers and asked me to be more careful. I saw that she was so familiar with my family, so I didn't doubt it."

After listening to this, Lu Jiaguang felt that this matter was not that simple: "What are the names of her son and daughter-in-law? Where do they work?"

Lu Jiaxin said: "I don't know, she didn't say."

"Didn't she tell me which city her son works in?"

Lu Jiaxin still shook her head: "No, I didn't say anything."

In fact, the old woman's son worked in Jinshi, but she didn't say which factory he worked in or what its name was. She concealed it because she had other plans.

The more Lu Jiaguang listened, the more he felt that the old woman came prepared. But how could a little girl like Jiaxin offend anyone? Why would the other party deliberately harm her? He had suspected that this was a trap set by Ding Jing, and now it was confirmed.

Ding Jing knew that Lu Jiaguang was suspicious of her. She had no way to prove herself, but she reacted quickly, raised her hand and swore: "If Jiaxin was kidnapped by me, let me die with my intestines pierced, and Siyi live in poverty and loneliness for the rest of her life."

Lu Hongjun took her hand and said, "Xiao Jing, I believe this matter has nothing to do with you."

Lu Jiaguang didn't say anything. He didn't believe in oaths, he only believed in evidence. If he found evidence, he would send her to jail.

Lu Jiajie felt it was offensive, and turned around and asked Lu Jiaxin with disdain: "Why didn't you call me and my brother after you escaped? We were almost going crazy these days."

Lu Jiaxin explained: "I have lost my memory. I don't even know my name, so I can't call you."

Lu Jiaguang felt extremely upset. If Third Aunt knew about this, she would be so heartbroken.

Lu Jiajie asked: "Then how did you get through the past month?"

Lu Jiaxin said: "I was unconscious for three days before I woke up. I had no money to go to the hospital so I had to endure it. There were too many mosquitoes in the shed and I couldn't sleep well..."

Lu Jiajie was stunned: "A shed? Why do you live in a shed?"

Lu Jiaxin explained, "Xue Mao's parents died of illness three years ago. His brother and sister-in-law wanted to take all the family property and said he was picked up, so they drove him out of the village. He wandered to the ancient capital, hungry and full, and slept under bridges at night because he had nowhere to go. It was only when he met his father's childhood friend that he was able to live in that shack. During those days, he spent all the money he earned from odd jobs on me and starved himself."

In fact, life in the ancient capital was not as miserable as she said. The old woman was not a professional human trafficker. Seeing that she was dead, she only took away her watch, but the jade pendant she was wearing was still there. The jade pendant was mutton-fat jade, and after she woke up, she asked Xue Mao to exchange it for 80 yuan.

After receiving the money, she immediately went to the hospital for a checkup and prescribed medicine, then rented a house and stayed in bed for more than a week before recovering. After she felt better, she and Xue Mao set up a stall to sell snacks. The reason why she played the victim was to make the Lu brothers hate Ding Jing and her daughter even more.

Lu Jiaguang was very grateful to Xue Mao. Saving people is easy, but raising a person who has lost his memory is very difficult, not to mention that he himself is in danger. He said sincerely: "Little brother, thank you for saving our Xinxin. You can ask for anything you want, and we will agree to it as long as we can do it."

Lu Jiaguang felt that she had become more mature and responsible after this incident, but he disagreed with her words: "As a student, you should study hard now. Your father and I will take care of Xue Mao's affairs."

Lu Hongjun then said, "Yes, Xinxin, school will start in a little over a week, you should prepare in the next two days."

Lu Jiaxin deliberately said, "I repeated a year, and then before the exam, I was given something unclean to eat so that I had a stomachache during the exam. I worked hard for another year in vain."

Lu Jiaguang stood up suddenly: "Jiaxin, what did you say? Did you have a stomachache during the exam?"

Ding Jing cried and said, "Lu Jiaxin, I know you have never liked me, but you can't make up stories to slander me."

After saying that, she held Lu Hongjun's arm with tears on her face and said, "Old Lu, not only did you eat breakfast that day, Siyi and I also ate it. If there was really something wrong with the breakfast, we would all have diarrhea, not just her."

Lu Jiaxin looked at her, she was crying so hard, it was really pitiful.

Lu Hongjun held her in his arms and comforted her, "I believe you. Jiaxin, we all ate the same thing that day. Your stomachache must have been an accident."

Lu Jiaxin said mercilessly: "It is said that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. Now it seems that the old saying is really true. Big brother, I dare not live under the same roof with this vicious mother and daughter again. I was lucky to escape this time, but I won't be so lucky next time."

Ding Jing pushed Lu Hongjun away, wiped her tears and pretended to be strong and said: "Old Lu, since this family can't accommodate Siyi and me, let's just leave."

Lu Hongjun immediately grabbed her arm and said, "You are my wife, Siyi is my daughter, this is your home, where are you going?"

Lu Jiaxin looked at Lu Hongjun indifferently: "Dad, this family either has her or me, or it has me or not, you choose?"

Lu Hongjun felt that his daughter was too ignorant, and said in a harsh tone: "Jia Xin, what nonsense are you talking about? We are a family, and a family should live together."

Lu Jiaxin cursed directly: "What a shitty family. Zhao Siyi hooked up with my fiancé. This vicious woman drugged me before the exam so that I couldn't get into college. Even the human trafficker might have been arranged by her. Lu Hongjun, either you make them go away today, or I'm leaving."

Lu Jiaguang also felt that he couldn't let his sister live with the mother and daughter anymore, otherwise she would really die one day. But before he expressed his opinion, he had to see what Lu Hongjun chose first.

Lu Jiajie had no say in living at his mother-in-law's house, so he kept silent.

Lu Hongjun naturally didn't want to make a choice. One was his wife and the other was his biological daughter. He couldn't let either of them move out.

Seeing him like this, Lu Jiaguang had nothing to understand. He chose his wife and stepdaughter instead of his biological daughter. He was very disappointed and heartbroken, and he didn't understand why the smart and decisive uncle became like this? Was he really blinded by lust?

Seeing this, Lu Jiaxin didn't want to waste any more time and called Xue Mao back to the house to get something.
