Chapter 74
Because of Meng Yinyin's guess, Lin Xiuzhi was panicked and frightened at the same time.
How could she have guessed that? It's impossible!
Isn't it said that people of this era avoid talking about ghosts and gods? Besides, it is impossible for them to have such imagination!
In short, no matter what, Lin Xiuzhi was caught off guard by Meng Yinyin's guess.
"I am who I am. I have always been who I am. It's just that you didn't know me well before, so you didn't understand my personality at all!"
Lin Xiuzhi didn't know whether she was trying to convince Meng Yinyin or to comfort herself.
"If you say these nonsense things again, be careful that someone will hear you and take you away!"
Meng Yinyin didn't say anything after this threat, as if she was frightened. Lin Xiuzhi heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but she had originally wanted to continue to maintain a good relationship with Meng Yinyin, so now she had no choice but to give up and quickly slip away.
Was Meng Yinyin frightened by what she said? Of course not!
Not only that, she was even more certain that something was wrong with her from Lin Xiuzhi's flustered expression, especially when Lin Xiuzhi denied her guess, she looked more like a coward.
Perhaps, there is really something wrong with this Lin Xiuzhi in front of me.
Meng Yinyin raised her eyebrows and suddenly felt that things were more interesting than ever before.
Lin Xiuzhi felt something was wrong. Did this prove that the book she read in her dream was becoming increasingly detached from current reality?
For example, she no longer seems to see any sparks between Lu Chen and Lin Xiuzhi.
Yes, yes, this is a good omen!
Thinking about how Dabao and Erbao seem to be becoming more and more pitiful, Meng Yinyin felt a little sad.
She was concerned that something might happen between Lu Chen and the real Lin Xiuzhi, but the two children were innocent and pitiful.
It would be great if there was a way to make Lin Xiuzhi return to her original appearance and take care of the two children, but without having any special feelings for Lu Chen.
Because of this incident, Meng Yinyin didn't concentrate on reading the whole day, but kept thinking about how to have the best of both worlds.
The Dong family also gained nothing.
Just as the old lady's son and daughter-in-law said, waiting for their old mother to wake up was really a mysterious thing. In short, they stayed in the house for almost a whole day but did not wait for the old lady to wake up.
In the afternoon, the family of four returned to Lu Chen's house feeling tired, and then went into the house for a meeting.
They have been in the Nanjiao Brigade for two days, but judging from the current situation, they have almost gained nothing.
For no reason, the Dong family began to feel irritated and panicked.
If there is no progress, then what is the point of them coming here?
"Dad, Mom, how about this, let's just play cards with Lu Chen." Dong Wen Qian saw that her parents' brows were tightly wrinkled and their expressions seemed to have aged a little, and she felt worried.
In fact, the two elders are most obsessed with finding their sister. Besides, they are so old now and might pass away one day. Naturally, they want to find the truth in their limited life.
Dong Wen Qian and her husband are both filial younger generations. Not to mention herself, her husband was also raised by her parents since he was a child, and the old couple are like his biological parents to him.
Hearing Dong Wenqian speak, Deng Tao nodded in agreement with a sincere tone.
"Dad, Mom, Wen Qian is right. In fact, the most critical factor in this matter is still the sinking."
"We have been investigating for so long, and all signs indicate that Lu Chen's mother is my younger sister, so instead of looking for those missing clues, we should seize the time to recognize Lu Chen and spend more time with him."
When saying this, Deng Tao quickly glanced at Dong Wen Qian, and received an affirmative look from Dong Wen Qian.
The two people's thoughts were all expressed in silence.
After hearing this, the old couple of the Dong family remained silent for a long time. Perhaps they were really tired and didn't want to look for some so-called "clues" or "evidence" anymore. Finally, they nodded.
"Okay, then let's explain this to Lu Chen tonight."
Seeing the old couple finally nodded, Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "You've been tired outside all day. Mom and Dad, you should take a good rest first. I'll help Lu Chen and the others make dinner."
After saying this, the two of them left the old couple's room and walked out.
The moment they closed the door of the old couple's room, Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao looked at each other and saw relief in each other's eyes.
The two of them first returned to their room because they had something to say.
After closing the door, Dong Wen Qian sat on the stool and smiled bitterly.
"Tell me, if my sister knew that I mistook a person who I wasn't sure was her for her, would she blame me?"
Deng Tao sat next to her, patted her shoulder and comforted her.
"If Wenqi were still alive, she would definitely understand us."
In fact, it’s not that they don’t want to accurately confirm their identities, it’s just too difficult, too difficult.
So many years have passed, haven't they looked for it?
Found it.
But every time they went there with full of expectations and hopes, they got disappointing results.
As disappointments accumulate, your heart will become tired.
But after correcting for a period of time, the mentality can be adjusted again, but what cannot be stopped or adjusted is time.
Dong Wen Qian watched helplessly as her parents' hair grew more and more white, and watched helplessly as wrinkles grew more and more on their faces.
She and Deng Tao could afford to wait and rest before continuing to look for her sister, but her parents could not afford to wait any longer.
This long journey must have consumed all their energy, so Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao knew very well that they had no extra energy.
In this case, why not make their dream come true?
Although she was really not sure whether Lu Chen's mother was her sister, but at this point, even if she was not, she must be!
Because she knew that her parents could no longer withstand another disappointment, and that would be a huge blow.
"I hope Lu Chen is really my nephew."
Finally, Dong Wen Qian sighed deeply and said no more.
At this moment, they had prepared themselves mentally to treat Lu Chen as their nephew no matter what, because only in this way could their parents be more convinced and feel at ease.
After the two made up their minds, Lu Chen came back soon. Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao went out immediately after hearing the sound, and then called Lu Chen aside before he entered the house.
"Comrade Lu Chen, can I talk to you alone?"
Dong Wenqian's voice was very low, as if she was afraid of being heard.
Lu Shen paused, looked at Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao, and finally nodded.
Then the three of them went to the kitchen, the place farthest from the Dong family's old couple's room.
In the kitchen, Dong Wen Qian did not delay and directly told Lu Chen that she hoped he could cooperate with them to play the roles of the old couple's youngest daughter and son.
"I think you also know the purpose of our visit this time." Dong Wenqian smiled helplessly.
"But at the moment, we really can't find any evidence to prove this, but my parents are old and I can't bear to let them run around, so..."
Dong Wenqian thought that after she said this, Lu Chen would agree directly because of their sincerity, but she didn't expect that Lu Chen refused without even thinking about it.
"I'm sorry, I probably can't help you with this."
Dong Wen Qian was stunned.
"Comrade Lu Chen, this matter is actually not as complicated as you think. You just need to..." Just call grandma and grandpa a few times.
But before she could finish her words, she heard Lu Chen continue, "Comrade Dong, fake is fake after all. Do you think the two elders will be happy about this?"
Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao were both stunned and remained silent for a long time.
The two were silent for a long time before finally giving a bitter smile.
They originally thought that as long as they could persuade Lu Chen, the matter would be a complete success, but they didn't expect that Lu Chen's words would wake them up.
Yes, will parents really be happy if they deceive them like this?
The two of them didn't mention this matter again, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the person who came was the same voice they had heard during the day, it was the old lady's son!
"Comrade Dong, my mother is awake now. If you have something to say, you can tell her now!"
Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao were still immersed in loss one second, but heard the good news the next second!
The two looked at each other, and then immediately split up, one went to open the door to ask for details, and the other went to call the old couple. Soon, the old couple also came out excitedly, and then the four of them quickly followed to the old lady's house.
After they left, Meng Yinyin heard the noise and came out. Seeing the Dong family hurried out, she looked confused.
Seeing this, Lu Chen told her what had just happened.
Meng Yinyin said "oh", and because of Lu Chen's previous attitude towards this matter, she didn't ask any more questions.
But she was not curious about this matter, but she cared a lot about Lin Xiuzhi.
So after hesitating for a while, Meng Yinyin expressed her guess implicitly.
"Um, do you think Lin Xiuzhi is acting strange recently?"
It was naturally impossible for Meng Yinyin to say that Lin Xiuzhi might not be the same Lin Xiuzhi as before, so she could only lead Lu Chen to that speculation as much as possible.
Otherwise, she was really afraid that Lu Chen would think she was a monster.
After hearing this, Lu Chen didn't think much about it, because Lin Xiuzhi was indeed too abnormal.
He looked at Meng Yinyin's cautious, fearful and even panicked expression, paused, and then comforted her.
"Don't be afraid, Dou Zhengrong will find a way."
Although Lu Chen didn't know what was written in the letter that Dou Zhengrong asked him to send last time, he had a hunch that the letter was related to Lin Xiuzhi.
Meng Yinyin felt relieved when she heard this.
Yes, the most anxious person should be Dou Zhengrong. She now just hopes that he can find a way to solve this problem.
…
At the same time, in a small village in Yunjiang.
"Awu, there's a letter for you!"
The man named Wu took the letter handed to him by someone else. He was confused at first, but when he noticed that the sender was his former comrade-in-arms, his brows relaxed.
It was just very quick, but when he saw the content of the letter clearly, his brows furrowed again.
After quickly browsing through all the contents, Wu put the letter away, then returned home and said to his family, "I'm going to be away for a while."
