Chapter 50 Why Suspicion? (Page 1/2)
"Aunt Xiao, you told my brother that your daughter-in-law looks a bit like him. I'd like to ask you, how old is your daughter-in-law? Where is she from?"
Xiao Ya was a little confused as to why Lin Ke suddenly came to ask her this question. Could it be that Manman had some hidden relationship with their family?
Xiao Ya looked at Lin Hun carefully and was really shocked. Manman was actually somewhat similar to Lin Hun. Could it be that Manman was really related to their Lin family?
"My daughter-in-law is Lin Man, she's eighteen years old. I told you she looks a bit like your brother Lin Jing, and now it seems she looks a bit like you too.
Lin Hun, tell me the truth, has your Lin family ever lost a child?
Lin Hun's face turned pale. "Aunt Xiao, I can't answer this question for now. I just heard that your eldest son and daughter-in-law are back. Can I meet that Lin Man?"
"Comrade Lin Hun, if you don't tell me the truth..."
"Auntie, I..."
Xiao Ya was so anxious when she saw Lin Hun hesitating and stammering for a long time without getting any answer.
"Comrade Lin Hun, your family didn't lose a child, so why are you curious about my daughter-in-law?"
After Xiao Ya finished speaking, Huo Qingyan saw his mother arguing with Lin Jing's brother at the door, so he walked over.
"Brother Hun, now that you're here, why don't you come in and sit down?" Xiao Ya glared at Huo Qingyan. She didn't know the specific situation yet. How could this brat bring someone to see his daughter-in-law so casually?
Even if Xiao Ya was angry, she couldn't just chase the guest out. She could only watch her silly son lead the guest into the yard.
Huo Qingci was helping his father cook in the kitchen, while Huo Qinghuan and Lin Man were sitting on small stools in the backyard cutting the tails of snails.
Huo Lizhe was sitting alone in the living room eating the bayberries washed for him by his granddaughter-in-law. Xiao Ya finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her daughter-in-law was not in the living room.
She took the initiative to invite Lin Hun to sit down, "Comrade Lin Hun, please take a seat!"
As soon as Lin Hun entered the room, he saw Commander Huo and hurried forward to greet him, "Hello, Commander Huo."
"Grandpa, you're here."
"Um."
Huo Li glanced at Huo Qingyan and nodded. He then said to Lin Hun, "Hello, Comrade Lin Hun. How come you have time to come here today?"
Lin Hun said nervously, "Commander Huo, I came here today to ask Aunt Xiao two questions."
"Oh, then please sit down. Junshan's wife, go get some lychees."
Huo Qingyan pulled Lin Hun to sit down, "Grandpa, where are my brother and sister-in-law?"
"They're busy in the backyard."
Huo Qingyan wanted to get up and go to the kitchen, but seeing that Lin Hun was still there, he had no choice but to stay and keep him company.
"Brother Hun, what question do you want to ask my mother?"
"Auntie said before that your sister-in-law and Lin Jing have some similarities in their eyebrows and eyes, so I came to take a look."
Huo Qingyan exclaimed, "You want to see my sister-in-law?"
He hasn't even met my sister-in-law, but this guy wants to meet her.
Xiao Ya brought a plate of lychees and placed it on the coffee table. "Comrade Lin Hun, try some lychees first."
"Thank you, Aunt Xiao."
Huo Qingyan asked, "Brother Hun, what exactly do you want to ask my mother?"
"I want to meet your sister-in-law and see if she is really my biological sister."
"What? How did my sister-in-law become your biological sister?"
"Eighteen years ago, my mother gave birth to a daughter in a military hospital. My father was busy with a mission at the time and couldn't accompany my mother during the delivery.
My grandmother took me to the hospital to accompany my mother, but who knew that by some strange mistake, my newborn sister was switched with someone else.
Huo Li asked seriously, "Why do you suspect Xiao Lin is the child who was switched?"
Facing the majestic Commander Huo, Lin Hun did not dare to tell a lie, "My sister was born fair and clean, with big eyes and a red mole on her left earlobe.
That afternoon, my grandmother and I went to the cafeteria to get dinner, and when we came back, we found that my sister and my mother were not there.
Half an hour later, my mother came in holding a wrinkled baby, crying to my grandmother.
My grandmother saw that something was wrong and told me to go out and play, but I didn't go far at all. I just stood by the door and eavesdropped on their conversation.
"What did they say?"
"My mother was the only woman in labor in the ward she was staying in that day. The room next door was full of people, and one of them was an acquaintance of my mother's.
My mother told my grandmother that she just went to the next ward to talk to an acquaintance, and when she returned to her room, she found that the child had been switched.

My mother held the child and asked everywhere who had entered their room, but none of the nurses knew.
She cried and complained to the nurse that the baby had been switched, and the nurse, fearing responsibility, said it was her child.
Seeing Lin Hun pause, Huo Qingyan couldn't help but ask, "And then?"
"My mother went looking for her like crazy but couldn't find her. When she came back to the ward and saw my grandmother and me, she started crying to her grandmother.
My grandmother scolded my mother, but what else can they do now that things have come to this?"
Lin Hun laughed sarcastically, then continued, "The child is nowhere to be found, and they are afraid that my father and grandparents will find out, so they can only make the best of it.
My grandmother said to keep this a secret and then go look for her secretly. My mother just cried at that time. She was also afraid that if my father knew that she had lost the daughter she gave birth to last night, he would divorce her.
so…"
Huo Li frowned and said, "So what? So your mom and grandma kicked you out of the ward?
I was worried that your father wouldn't want your mother, so I ended up raising the other baby girl as my own. But you didn't go look for your biological sister?"
Lin Hun was filled with shame and choked up as he said, "They were afraid that I would complain, so when they let me in, they asked me if I had heard anything. I asked them if the wrinkled baby on the bed was not my sister?
They were stunned at first, and my grandmother said that this was my sister. I said I heard them talking. My grandmother said that my mother was confused because of stomachache.
My mother told me to go back and not say anything, otherwise I would never see her again. I was only five and a half at the time, and I was afraid of losing my mother, so I didn't dare to say anything.
And now my sister has heart disease and ventricular septal defect, so my father asked my mother to quit her job to take care of my sister. I don’t know if my mother was busy or for other reasons, but in the end she didn’t go to look for my sister.
When I came to the hospital as an adult to look into what happened, it wasn't that early. I checked all the babies who gave birth that day, and none of them had a red mole on their left earlobe.
Xiao Ya and Huo Li both looked unhappy. Lin Man did have a red mole the size of a millet on her left earlobe, and her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Lin Hun's.
Huo Li pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Ya, go to the backyard and invite Xiao Man over."
"Dad, should we discuss this with Manman first..."
"I asked you to invite her over to let Lin Hun see her first. It's not like I'm saying that Xiao Man is Lin Hun's biological sister."
Xiao Ya went to the backyard and saw her eldest daughter-in-law and youngest son happily cutting snail tails. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Manman, go wash your hands first. Someone wants to see you."
Lin Man looked puzzled and went into the kitchen to fetch water to wash her hands. Huo Qingci, who was chopping vegetables, asked Lin Man, "What's wrong? Who wants to see you?"
"have no idea."
Huo Qingci put down the kitchen knife and said to Huo Junshan, "Dad, you can cut the remaining vegetables yourself."
He also washed his hands and followed Lin Man to the living room. As soon as Lin Man entered the hall, she saw that everyone in the room was looking at her, and she felt a little uneasy.
It would be fine if two strange young men were looking at her, but why was Grandpa's expression strange when he looked at her today?
Without giving it much thought, a 5-foot-tall man suddenly rushed up to her and said excitedly, "You are my sister. Sister, I finally found you."
What? She just came to visit her parents-in-law before leaving, how did it become a family reunion scene?
Regardless of whether this man is really her brother, she has no intention of recognizing another relative.
"Comrade, I'm sorry! You might have the wrong person."
"No, I would never mistake you for someone else. You look 60% like my grandmother when she was young. And I've even touched the red mole on your left earlobe. You are my biological sister."
A grown man, crying and sobbing, said that she was his biological sister. Lin Man was really embarrassed.
"Comrade, there are many similar people in the world. You can't just judge me as your sister based on our similar looks."
So what if it was? She was an adult, not a child who needed someone to raise her.
Without her mother's family, she would have fewer troubles. She had no intention of playing games like the real and fake daughter competing for favor with others.
Lin Hun staggered back a step. Huo Qingyan handed him a handkerchief and said, "Brother Hun, wipe your tears first."
"Thanks."
Lin Hun took the handkerchief, wiped away her tears, and said more firmly: "You are my sister."
