Chapter 255 Incapable of Raising Children
Lu's mother couldn't help but ask, "Did they really go abroad?"
Jiang Jianni laughed: "The neighbors all say she went abroad. Her family is rich, so she must have gone abroad."
Whether they moved to another city or went abroad, if they don't say so, who would know?
In this modern age where the internet is ubiquitous, if someone truly wants to hide, they can disappear without the other party seeking police assistance.
Not to mention the present day, when there is no internet, no surveillance cameras, not even cell phones, and transportation mainly relies on old green trains.
You don't even need to change cities; just change the region, change the house, and change the name.
Even if you live in the same city, you might never see each other in your entire life.
Moreover, when they came to the family compound to settle scores, they were driving a car.
Five vehicles were driven at once.
The elderly couple rode in a car with their youngest daughter and son.
Each of the four daughters had a car, and each of them brought a few people with them.
Cars aren't as hard to buy as they were a few years ago, but they're not exactly easy to get either.
Not to mention a family buying five cars at once.
You really can't afford a car like this if you're not really rich.
Going abroad is incredibly difficult for ordinary people, but for these wealthy individuals, it's just a matter of spending a little money.
Aunt Lu looked regretful: "Why is this family causing all this trouble?"
"If we treat the girl well, wouldn't it be great if she becomes a college student in the future?"
Jiang Jiani shook her head as she thought of that family.
That family was a rare exception, having only boys as their children.
Grandpa and Grandma had three sons, and the three sons together had eighteen grandsons: seven in one family, six in another, and five in yet another. Their only granddaughter was obtained by exchanging their youngest grandson for their granddaughter.
The old lady in that family was most proud of the fact that she had only given birth to sons, and her sons had only given birth to sons.
They kept saying that their only granddaughter would be blessed in the future, and that if she was bullied by her husband's family, she would have seventeen older brothers to support her.
In reality, it's just talk.
When his grandson couldn't find a wife, the old man even considered marrying his adopted granddaughter to another son's grandson.
That way, you can essentially raise a child bride without spending any money.
However, the girl's adoptive parents refused.
This couple has a longer-term vision than their parents.
They felt that the girl was beautiful and academically excellent, and could marry into a wealthy or powerful family like Jiang Jiani, so that she could help her brothers.
Um.
These things were only revealed intentionally or unintentionally after their family affairs became a big deal.
When Jiang Jianni heard this, she was just glad that even though the girl grew up in that kind of environment, she hadn't been brainwashed. On the contrary, she was very resourceful and ran away as soon as she sensed something was wrong. She ran away very quickly.
Otherwise, you'll never be able to get rid of these seventeen brothers for the rest of your life.
Mr. Lu found it unbelievable: "No way, how can there be such people in the world? Don't they have any shame at all?"
Lu's mother said, "If being shameless could lead to a good life, there would be plenty of shameless people out there."
Mr. Lu was still skeptical: "Impossible, who would be shameless? I've never met one..."
Aunt Lu: "Have you forgotten how Old Liu died?"
Lu's father was speechless.
Old Liu was his comrade-in-arms, and was about fifteen or sixteen years older than him.
Unlike his first wife, who was Lu Ma, and unlike Fang Bo'an, who married Su Jing after his first wife died.
After liberation, Lao Liu divorced his wife from his hometown under the pretext of an arranged marriage and married a young and beautiful new wife.
The wife back home is quite interesting. Originally, Lao Liu's idea was that she could divorce but not leave home and continue to live in Lao Liu's house. Anyway, she still has children to take care of, and she can take care of the children and Lao Liu's parents. It would also save her from having nowhere to live alone because her family doesn't want her.
As it turned out, they got divorced without a second thought, and didn't want any of the children.
She got divorced first, then married a widower and had two more children.
Old Liu's first wife had three children, and his second wife had three children.
The three children in front have their grandparents to support them, while the children in the back have their own mothers to support them.
From childhood to adulthood, I've caused chaos and unrest in my family.
As they grow older, conflicts escalate due to work, dowry, bride price, housing, partners, partners' families, and so on.
Then, a year before Lu Xiangyang was discharged from the army, Lao Liu finally died of anger in the hospital.
When he died in the hospital room, his six children, along with their respective partners' children, were arguing in the corridor, trying to divide Old Liu's inheritance.
Old Liu's body was already stiff when it was discovered by a nurse during rounds.
Old Lu thought about all the mess Old Liu's family was making and fell silent.
Jiang Jianni didn't know why Lu's father was silent, so she secretly decided to ask Lu's mother about the Liu family later.
Jiang Jianni brought the topic back: "As for guessing that I was the child the Fang family lost, it was a bit of a coincidence."
She sighed: "Didn't you guys talk about the Fang family at home before?"
"It has been mentioned that the Fang family's youngest daughter has a birthmark on her buttocks."
“I happen to have a birthmark, and I happen to be born in that hospital. I also happen to be adopted by my maternal grandmother, not the Jiang family’s biological child.”
"Although there are still some uncertainties, if all the clues are put together, it's pretty close to the truth."
Mr. Lu was dumbfounded: "You, you knew so long ago, why didn't you say so?"
"How anxious is Lao Fang?"
"He's still your biological father, how can you just stand by and watch them worry?"
Jiang Jianni said bluntly, "It's still not certain whether they are biologically related or not."
"Besides, what does their anxiety have to do with me?"
"Was it me who replaced myself back then?"
"So what does their anxiety have to do with me?"
"I only know that my surname is Jiang, my father's name is Jiang Baoguo, and my mother's name is Yang Yuemei."
“They raised me from a baby to adulthood, providing me with food, clothing, and education. Even though they knew I wasn’t their biological child, they treated me better than their own children.”
"Just because they're in a hurry, I should rush to acknowledge them? What would that make me? Where would that leave my parents?"
"Their sadness and pain have nothing to do with me, but I cannot let my dad, my mom, my brother, my sister be sad and heartbroken because of myself."
"Besides, what's so special about their family background?"
Mr. Lu disagreed, saying, "You can't say that. After all, they gave birth to you, and besides, it wasn't their fault they lost you..."
Jiang Jianni shook her head: "That has nothing to do with me."
She looked at Lu's father and said, "Given the way they raise their children, and considering we have three kids, do you really think it's a good thing to acknowledge them as family?"
Mr. Lu was puzzled: "What do you mean by that?"
Lu's mother seemed to be deep in thought.
Jiang Jianni said directly, "I'm telling you, their family doesn't know how to raise children!"
"If they really cared about raising the child, would Fang Shuying have turned out the way she is now?"
