Yu Yao's reaction seemed to have surprised Jiang Yuqing.
He took an old pocket watch out of his pocket and showed it to Yu Yao.
"I know you don't believe me, but you should believe me after seeing this photo."
Yu Yao's gaze fell on the photo inside the pocket watch.
The woman in the photo is wearing a beautiful silk cheongsam, with bright eyes and a charming smile.
If she hadn't been certain that the original owner hadn't taken the photo, she would have almost mistaken it for the original owner at first glance.
"Doesn't it look alike? The person in the photo is your maternal grandmother, and you look just like her."
Jiang Yuqing presented evidence and stated the facts, "Now you should finally believe that we are your biological parents."
Yu Yao remained silent, but Zhou Yinhua couldn't hold back any longer.
"Yu Yao, these two are your biological parents. What do you mean by not saying anything? Don't tell me you find them a burden and don't want to acknowledge them as your family?"
“You have their blood in you, so you are their daughter. In our family compound, there are no family members who don’t recognize their own relatives. You have to acknowledge this relationship whether you want to or not.”
Yu Yao was truly fed up with her mouth.
Talking and nagging.
She walked over and stuffed the mud-covered octopus into Zhou Yinhua's wide-open mouth.
Zhou Yinhua was rambling on, trying to use reverse psychology to force Yu Yao to acknowledge her family, when she was suddenly stuffed with a mouthful of octopus, almost making her vomit from disgust.
"Ah!" Zhou Yinhua screamed, pulling frantically at the octopus that was trying to crawl inside. "Yu Yao... ugh... you flower rope! Ugh~"
Zhou Yinhua pulled out the octopus and threw it on the ground, spitting out mud.
He was furious, his finger trembling as he pointed at Yu Yao.
"Yu Yao, how dare you!"
Yu Yao patted the mud off her hands, not feeling she had done anything wrong at all: "Some people like to casually claim a living father, I don't like hearing that."
Zhu Xiudan never expected that Lu Ze's wife was such a feisty little firecracker.
Before she could even speak, she started arguing with Zhou Yinhua.
However, Zhou Yinhua's mouth was indeed something to be ashamed of!
"Alright, everyone, say less."
Zhou Yinhua, whose mouth was still full of mud, accused, "Sister Dan, she stuffed an octopus into my mouth."
“I didn’t say anything offensive. She must be feeling guilty and doesn’t want to acknowledge her parents. Sister Dan, you have to stand up for me.”
Zhu Xiudan said sternly, "You really shouldn't have said those things. You two should each compromise on this matter."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Yu Yao: "You must be Commander Lu's wife, Comrade Yu Yao?"
The eyes behind the glasses subtly scanned Yu Yao up and down.
She has worked for decades and seen countless beautiful girls, but she has rarely seen such a fresh and lovely girl.
She and Lu Ze are indeed a good match.
This little temper of hers is to her liking.
She doesn't actively seek trouble, but she's not afraid of trouble either; she's a perceptive and clever woman.
Yu Yao turned to look at the person who was speaking.
The woman in front of me had short, ear-length hair, wore metal-framed glasses, and was dressed in a cadre's uniform. A Parker pen was clipped to her breast pocket.
She looks calm and capable, and exudes the aura of an iron lady, making her quite unique.
Especially since she was so small and stood at the very front of the group of military wives, the other military wives clearly looked up to her.
Yu Yao recalled the important female comrade Lu Ze had introduced, and almost immediately guessed her identity.
Zhu Xiudan, the women's director of the military compound, is also Commander Zheng's wife.
If it's just a matter of real and fake parents, it should be her family matter, so why are all these people acting so indignant and even calling the women's director?
It seems she did something that angered and resented everyone.
Then she thought back to how Zhou Yinhua had been subtly pressuring her to acknowledge her relatives.
Yu Yao glanced at her fake parents, a flash of understanding crossing her eyes.
The identities of these two people are questionable.
In this day and age, the only thing that can affect children is their family background.
The fake parents' clothes were covered in patches, and their hands were calloused, clearly indicating that they worked hard.
Judging from their speech and demeanor, they must have come from good backgrounds and been well-educated.
She had only ever seen this sense of incongruity in the reformatory prisoners in the cowshed.
These two are either intellectuals or capitalists.
She prefers the latter.
So everyone came because they mistakenly thought she was the daughter of a capitalist?
That makes sense.
Fortunately, she knew her biological parents beforehand; otherwise, if these fake parents had come to claim her, they might have really fooled her.
Having figured everything out, Yu Yao took off her straw hat, revealing a gentle smile.
"Hello, I'm Yu Yao. You must be Sister Dan, right? Hello, Sister Dan!"
Hello, ladies.
Yu Yao greeted the military wives with a graceful and generous demeanor.
She is beautiful, especially when she smiles, her eyes crinkle and she has two dimples at the corners of her mouth.
It's so pleasing to the eye.
The military wives had originally come to cause trouble, but faced with her smile, their attitude softened without them even realizing it.
She was also pitiful; she was unlucky to have bad parents, and it wasn't her intention.
When they chased her away a little later, their attitude was better.
Zhu Xiudan stepped forward and said to Yu Yao, "I received a report that there are problems with your family background... These are your biological parents. They have presented evidence to prove that you are their daughter. Do you have anything to say?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Yao realized it was exactly as she had guessed.
"Sister Dan, if their evidence is just an old photo, then I won't acknowledge it. What if they found a photo of my relative somewhere else and are pretending to be my parents to claim them as family?"
The military wives frowned upon hearing this.
The chances of such a coincidence are small, but not impossible.
Jiang Yuqing and Liuyu panicked when they heard her say that.
“We’ve been looking for you for so many years, how can you not recognize us? You look exactly like your grandmother, you are our daughter.”
Zhou Yinhua interjected, "Yu Yao, you're about to die and you're still trying to deny it? To avoid being labeled as the child of a bad element, you're even unwilling to acknowledge your own parents. That's unfilial."
"Zhou Yinhua, shut up!" Zhu Xiudan interrupted her. "Yu Yao, continue?"
Yu Yao thanked Zhu Xiudan and turned to look at her fake parents.
"You say I am your daughter, but besides photos, what other evidence can you provide? Do I have any other evidence on me, such as birthmarks or moles?"
Jiang Yuqing immediately said, "Yes! You have a red mole on your arm that I accidentally burned. You have a tendency to form keloids, so the scar should still be there."
These words surprised Yu Yao.
At first, she thought her fake parents had mistaken her for someone else, but they even knew about the burn scars on her arms that looked like red moles.
This was a well-prepared trip.
Zhou Yinhua pointed at Yu Yao's half-sleeve with sharp eyes, as if she had caught something wrong, and became very excited.
“She has scars on her hands. I saw them when she put the octopus in my mouth. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her to roll up her sleeves and see.”
After listening for a long time, Song Yufeng finally understood what was going on.
Upon hearing Zhou Yinhua's accusations, she wanted to say a few words in defense of Yu Yao, but Yu Yao stopped her.
Then she heard Yu Yao whisper in her ear, "Sister Song, go find Lu Ze and tell him there are enemy agents."
