Aunt Gao went to the front yard carrying an insulated lunch box, and Uncle Gao gave her a surprise, saying that Ding Hao would be over soon. Aunt Gao was so happy, as she hadn't seen him for several days and missed him a lot. The couple didn't even have a midnight snack as they wanted to save some for Ding Hao.

Ding Hao was not there for a midnight snack. After entering the house, he did not even have time to say a few words to the couple. He just picked up the six people and drove away.

Wang Wenqiang and Ge Hongjiao took their four children to their rooms, where they were tired and sleepy. They had no intention or desire to move - the Shen residence was so nice and had such a big yard, the food and drink were more abundant than during the Chinese New Year, and during the day the nanny had already arranged and decorated a guest room for them. Wouldn't it be nice to live in a beautiful, comfortable and bright room? Why go to a guesthouse?

Shen Yu did not bother to talk to them. He knew who these people were and knew how to deal with them. He just gave them a random excuse, and Wang Wenqiang, Ge Hongjiao and a few other girls immediately became energetic, picked up their luggage, and followed Ding Hao into the car.

Shen Yu drove his own car to the guesthouse first, and waited for Ge Hongjiao and others to arrive. When he got out of the car, he found that although the conditions here were not bad, they were completely incomparable to the Shen residence, and he vaguely felt that it was a bit sloppy.

But it was too late to regret. Shen Yu and Ding Hao's subsequent actions made Wang Wenqiang, Ge Hongjiao and others feel that their journey to the capital was like a dream.

This dream is so unrealistic. It gives people full of hope and is so beautiful that it reaches the sky. Then, like a balloon exploding, hope is shattered and everything returns to the starting point...

The next day, after breakfast at the Shen residence, Shen Yu told Shen Heping and Xu Zhen the results of his overnight inquiries. Meng Tao listened casually nearby. When Shen Yu came back in the middle of the night, he told her roughly what he had learned.

——Lin Dajiang sent his old mother back to her hometown. The old lady passed away a few days later. After Lin Dajiang took care of the old lady's funeral, he went up the mountain alone to collect firewood. Unfortunately, he fell off a cliff and died.

So Ge Hongjiao was lying when she said that she had worked hard to take care of the seriously ill Lin Dajiang for five or six years.

When Mrs. Lin passed away, Lin Dajiang did not inform Ge Hongjiao and his children, including relatives such as Wang Wenqiang. Instead, he stayed alone in his hometown, relying on fellow villagers to help with the old lady's funeral, basically eliminating the possibility of being harmed by these two people.

However, we still need to have someone conduct a more thorough investigation and thoroughly clarify the relationship between Wang Wenqiang and Ge Hongjiao.

Ge Hongjiao pretended to be crazy and acted like a spoiled child. Wang Wenqiang could not stand the pressure and admitted that Lin Aiqing and Wang Xiaobao were both his and Ge Hongjiao's children! Ge Hongjiao and Wang Wenqiang were not very close cousins. They were just related. They happened to work in the same factory as Lin Dajiang, so they became relatives. Lin Dajiang and Ge Hongjiao had a bad relationship and often quarreled. As a fellow villager and cousin, Wang Wenqiang often comforted them and was willing to listen to Ge Hongjiao's complaints and understand the conflicts between them. After a while, the two hooked up.

Lin Dajiang didn't notice it at first. It was not until Lin Aiqing fell ill when she was seven or eight years old and needed a blood transfusion that Lin Dajiang realized that the child was not his.

He wanted to divorce but failed, and Ge Hongjiao and Wang Wenqiang became closer.

A few years later, Ge Hongjiao became pregnant again. She went back to her parents' home for more than half a year, using the excuse of taking care of her sick mother. She gave birth to Wang Xiaobao. Wang Wenqiang's mother loved her grandson, so she took him back to her hometown to raise him. He came to Wang Wenqiang when he was three or four years old. At this time, Wang Wenqiang's wife had died of illness. He "entrusted" Wang Xiaobao to his cousin Ge Hongjiao for help in raising him, saying that he did not know how to take care of the child. Wang Xiaobao has always called Ge Hongjiao "Mom".

Upon hearing this, Shen Heping was furious and cursed: "This is outrageous! The evil woman Ge Hongjiao and Wang Wenqiang deserve to die! If I had known this would happen, I would not have allowed them to enter our house yesterday! Dajiang... No wonder he refused to talk about family matters for so many years. How can I tolerate this? Oh! Why are you so stupid?!"

Shen Heping took it carefully and said excitedly, "Yes, yes! It's his handwriting, his usual writing style... He said that he would stay in his hometown for a few days to mourn his mother, and he felt that he was about to die. If he couldn't go back in the future, please take care of his daughter Lin Xiaoxue... Hey! Old buddy, why did you do this? Couldn't you tell me?"

Shen Yu: "The date at the end of the letter is half a year ago, which is indeed the time of his death. The letter does not mention anyone else, so Ge ​​Hongjiao took the letter away and only gave us an empty envelope to fool us."

"I almost fell for their trick! I am prepared to satisfy all the requests made by Ge Hongjiao, all because of Lin Dajiang's face and the two girls. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her!"

Shen Heping was angry, but also felt sorry for his old friend: "...Back then, your Uncle Lin was willing to give her a large portion of his salary every month to support his nephew, but she refused to do so. She used the two elders of the Lin family to force your Uncle Lin. As a result, she herself did such a wicked thing! Her little girl, Lin Aiqing, is already 18 years old... It's a pity that Lin Dajiang has suffered all his life for such a woman!"

Shen Yu said: "This letter had been torn up, but Lin Xiaoxue picked it up and hid it secretly. Uncle Lin made plans for Lin Xiaoxue, but Lin Xiaoxue was timid and indecisive, so she was taken advantage of by Ge Hongjiao."

"Lin Xiaoxue seems a little reserved, not as bold as Lin Aiqing and the other girl. How about we leave this child in the capital?"

"I talked to her. She said that the capital is so big that she would be scared to be alone. She must settle her mother, sister and cousin in the capital together. Only then can she feel at ease to stay."

"This child... doesn't she know what Ge Hongjiao and Wang Wenqiang did?"

"You're already 22 years old. If you really don't know anything, then you're either stupid or stupid."

Meng Tao chuckled, and Xu Zhen couldn't help laughing either.

Shen Heping was in no mood to laugh. He said worriedly, "But we can't just ignore her. Your uncle Lin only has this one daughter."

"She was born to Ge Hongjiao. She has been taught all kinds of ideas by Ge Hongjiao since she was a child. She has become accustomed to being controlled by Ge Hongjiao. Currently, she is still like a baby who has not been weaned and cannot leave her mother. We can only take it step by step. Since she is unwilling to stay, let her follow Ge Hongjiao back to the small county town.

Ge Hongjiao's plan was shattered, and she will definitely take it out on Lin Xiaoxue. When Lin Xiaoxue can't bear it anymore, we will help her. We can't give her too much benefit at once, in case Ge Hongjiao exploits her. This is not something we can stop. The key is Lin Xiaoxue. She still recognizes this mother, so she will definitely be willing to be exploited. Only when she realizes and knows how to plan for herself, then our actions will be useful."

Shen Heping sighed: "That's it."
