Chapter 422: Fragments of the Past



"Jiang Dahe, you are Dahe!"

Mei Dongliang immediately became excited and began to look up and down at Jiangdong City.

"Dahe, yes, it's you. You're back, alive and well."

"Yeah, I'm back."

But after Mei Dongliang looked at Jiang Dongcheng for a while, his expression suddenly changed, from excitement to staring at Jiang Dongcheng fiercely.

"You've been gone for so many years. You didn't come back when the children were little, but now you're back. Oh, you're dressed quite nicely and look respectable. You must have had a good life these years."

As he spoke, he raised his fist and stretched it in front of Jiang Dongcheng: "What have you been doing all these years? Do you know how hard Xiangcao's life was? How could you cruelly abandon her and the children? Why are you back now?!"

Mei Dongliang thought of the sufferings his cousin had endured in the past. If Jiang Dongcheng couldn't give him a convincing reason, he would hold Jiang Dongcheng down and beat him up.

Jiang Dongcheng is tall and strong, so it doesn't matter if he can't beat him. He still has children and the young and old men here. He will call them all over and beat Jiang Dongcheng half to death.

Jiang Dongcheng knew that this was another person who thought he was a traitor. He said to Mei Dongliang, "You can hit me, I won't dodge. No matter what the reason is, I didn't take good care of the four of them. I deserve to be hit, so you can hit me."

He closed his eyes and waited for Mei Dongliang's fist to fall.

It seemed that he would feel better only when the other party hit him.

But Mei Dongliang's fist did not fall after all.

"Forget it. Considering that you were stabbed eighteen times to protect Vanilla, and you were so kind to Vanilla and my uncle, I won't bother you for now. So tell me, what have you been doing all these years? Since you're still alive, why don't you come back?"

Mei Dongliang slowly calmed down. Jiang Dongcheng might have abandoned his cousin, but he was also his brother-in-law. In fact, this guy had helped him before.

He took two stools, sat down, and asked Jiang Dongcheng to sit down as well. "Talk to me carefully."

Jiang Dongcheng sat down and asked him, "I still don't know how to address you."

"What? You don't know who I am?" Mei Dongliang was surprised. "You really can't tell. Look carefully. I may be old, but my appearance hasn't changed that much. How can you not recognize me? I can recognize you. You, don't play dumb with me."

Jiang Dongcheng shook his head: "I really can't remember who you are, because I have no memory of being here now."

"I don't have that memory anymore. Why?"

Jiang Dongcheng told him about his amnesia, "When I first came here, I had amnesia. I forgot everything that happened before."

"I know this. Vanilla even asked me to help you find your relatives."

"I know. After living here for a few years, probably after I left here that time, I met some bad guys. They knocked me unconscious and took me to the mine. When I woke up, I was in the mine. The people there told me that I had been working there the whole time. I thought I had been mining all those years, but I recovered my memories before coming here. I secretly ran away from the mine and returned to my hometown in the capital. I have been in the capital ever since."

"So you just forgot about Vanilla. You lost your memory and then recovered it, but you wiped Vanilla out of your memory completely, as if she had never existed."

Mei Dongliang sighed deeply: "Xiangcao has a miserable life. She thought she had found a man who truly loved her and could take care of her and protect her, but she didn't expect something like this to happen.

You have lost your memory, you don't remember anything, it's like you've never been here. But Vanilla gave birth to three children for you. When you left, Xiaoyang and Tingting were only that old, you had to hold them in your arms, and Jiangye was only four or five years old.

Vanilla had to take care of three children during the day and was dragged through parades after work. As a woman, you have no idea how she endured those years.

Mei Dongliang couldn't help but wipe away his tears, choked for a while, and continued: "She was really in a difficult situation at that time. I couldn't bear to see her and persuaded her to remarry. With Xiangcao's conditions, even with three children, it wouldn't be difficult for her to find a man who could take care of them.

But she said she was waiting for you. We all said that since you didn't come back, you must be in danger outside, but she just didn't believe it and kept going no matter how hard it was.

When she couldn't bear it any longer, she said that if she remarried and you came back to see that she had become someone else's, you would go crazy, because she would still be thinking of you at that time.

She was like a fool, waiting for you to come back no matter what. Did you know? In fact, her mental state was a little abnormal after you left, but for the sake of the children and to wait for you to come back, she has been trying hard to hold on and endure.

Jiang Dongcheng listened to Mei Dongliang's story, and suddenly hugged his head in pain, curled up on the ground like a cooked shrimp.

Fragments flashed through his mind intermittently: flowers all over the mountains, a girl smiling sweetly at him, thieves coming to the house, blood all over the ground... and red silk all over the yard, and a wedding candle in the bridal chamber.

But these images appeared and disappeared so quickly that he couldn't connect them.

These are all the memories he has lost, and he really wants to get them back completely.

Mei Dongliang patted his shoulder and said, "Tell me about your life these years. In Beijing, have you remarried?"

Jiang Dongcheng nodded and did not hide it from him: "I married one."

"How are you guys doing? How many children do you have?"
