Chapter 75
As for the Dong family, after arriving at the old lady's house, the old couple of the Dong family could hardly wait to ask the questions they wanted to know.
At this moment, they no longer cared whether the purpose of their trip would be discovered or not; they just wanted to get an answer immediately.
The old lady, who was in a conscious state, was very easy to talk to and her articulation was clear, especially when she said something the moment she saw Dong Wen Qian.
"This girl looks alike to Xiaolin."
In fact, the old lady had said this before, but hearing the familiar words now, the Dong family members were still excited.
Mrs. Dong couldn't wait to hold the old lady's hand and trembled, "Sister, do you still remember what happened to Xiaolin when he was a child?"
The old lady in front of him sighed when she heard this, and then told a story from the past that many people didn't know.
"Of course I remember, that girl was only a few years old when she came to us..."
Because the old lady and Lao Lin, that is, Lu Chen's grandfather, lived close to each other, the two families were neighbors, and she had already given birth to a child at that time, so she was better at raising and taking care of the child than Lu Chen's grandfather, a single man, so Lu Chen's grandfather would often ask her for advice and help.
Because of the frequent contacts, the old lady also knew some things that no one else knew.
For example, Lu Chen's grandfather told the outside world that this girl was born to his ex-girlfriend in the city, and that she had an accident and he had no choice but to bring the child back to raise. But in fact, only the old lady knew that this girl was picked up by Lu Chen's grandfather when he was outside.
It is said that the girl was dirty and skinny at the time, hiding alone in a corner. No one knew how long she had been wandering. He felt sorry for her and wanted to send her directly to the police station, but the girl said that she didn't remember anything. In the end, the people in the police station couldn't do anything, so Lu Chen's grandfather had to bring the girl back.
After bringing her back, he was worried that she would be bullied in the village because of her adopted identity, so he made up an identity for her.
When Mrs. Dong heard that the child had no memory of what happened before he was picked up, she burst into tears.
She knew that if nothing happened to their daughter, she was so smart that she would definitely remember the way home!
It turned out that she had lost her memory, but why did she lose her memory? It must be that she suffered at the hands of human traffickers!
When she thought of this, Mrs. Dong couldn't stop crying.
Mr. Dong's eyes also turned red, with hatred and regret constantly emerging in his eyes.
Dong Wen Qian was naturally sighing, but she still had some rationality. Before she was finally sure that the little girl was her sister, she tried her best to hold back and asked the key question.
"Auntie, do you remember if she had anything special on her or was carrying anything with her at that time?"
In fact, what she wanted to ask was whether the little girl had any birthmark or wore any jade pendant, but that would be too purposeful, and she was afraid that the old lady in front of her would get angry about it.
Although she knew that it was meaningless for others to do so, she still thought it was better to be safe than sorry.
But what she didn't expect was that without her giving any hint, the old lady opposite her suddenly said something.
"I remember that girl had a scar on the left side of her back, as if she had been burned by something!"
Because the old lady was helping to take care of the little girl, she naturally also gave her a bath, so she saw the scars on her back.
In such a secret place, it's normal for others not to know.
If the group of people in front of us are really the girl's relatives, then they must know about the scar.
When the Dong family heard the old lady mention the scar on her back, they were all stunned, their eyes widened as if they had heard something incredible.
After a long time, the old lady suddenly uttered with trembling lips: "My Wenqi, my Wenqi!"
Then he fainted.
"Mom!"
"Old woman!"
There was a commotion in the house, but everyone had come to a conclusion about Mrs. Dong's coma. It seemed that Lu Chen's mother was really the lost daughter that the Dong family was looking for.
.....
Old Mrs. Dong was carried back to Lu Chen's home by Deng Tao. Lu Chen was cooking dinner at that time. He noticed that the Dong family members rushed in with the old lady on their backs. Lu Chen frowned, paused, and finally did not go out.
If they really need help, they will come to me.
On the contrary, if he hadn't been called, he would have gone up there without warning and might have even obstructed them.
But just as Lu Chen thought this, soon, a pair of footsteps came into the kitchen from outside, accompanied by the voice of someone talking. It was Deng Tao.
He said to Lu Chen: "Xiao Lu, can you come with us? We want to tell you something in person."
While speaking, Deng Tao's eyes unconsciously showed pleading. At the same time, Lu Chen also keenly noticed that the way he addressed himself had changed, from Comrade Lu Chen to "Little Lu".
He realized something and finally put down what he was doing. Then he followed Deng Tao into the Dong family's room.
At this moment, in the old couple's room, Mrs. Dong had woken up, but she was still being held down on the bed to rest.
Before Lu Chen came in, she was still crying, feeling sad that she finally found her daughter, but she had left her forever.
But the moment she saw Lu Chen, Mrs. Dong stopped crying, stared straight at Lu Chen, and then shouted in a hoarse voice.
"Lu Chen, my grandson, my grandson!"
Hearing this, Lu Chen actually didn't feel anything much, he even had a feeling that "it's finally here".
He did not respond to the old lady's cry, but looked at Deng Tao and asked, "Comrade Deng, what do you want to say?"
Seeing him so calm, several people in the room felt uncomfortable. After all, they had finally found their bloodline, and they wanted to acknowledge him excitedly. However, Lu Chen's reaction was so calm that they naturally couldn't get excited.
But considering that Lu Chen has never seen them in all these years and didn't even know they existed, his current attitude seems to be predictable.
Several people sighed unconsciously in their hearts, knowing that the best way now was to take it slow.
Finally, Mr. Dong spoke.
"Xiao Lu, this afternoon we went to your grandfather's neighbor's house and asked some questions. We found out that your mother is indeed the second daughter of our Dong family who was abducted by traffickers, so you are the grandson of our Dong family."
Lu Chen looked at Mr. Dong and asked only one question.
"Are you sure?"
Mr. Dong nodded solemnly.
“That’s for sure.”
The scar on the second daughter's body was caused by her accidentally pouring hot water on herself while playing with a water heater when she was a child. She was young at the time so she had the scar, but because she was a little girl and for her future life, the Dong family did not tell any outsiders about it.
So when the old lady next door said this, the Dong family no longer had any doubts that Lu Chen's mother was their daughter Dong Wenqi!
Lu Chen didn't know how they confirmed their relationship, but he did not doubt the authenticity of the matter.
Because the Dong family had no reason to deceive themselves.
He nodded to show that he believed it.
"From now on, we are a family, Xiaolu, we are all your relatives."
Although Lu Chen's reaction was very calm, the Dong family still wanted to express their position.
In response, Lu Chen simply nodded and said, "I hope you have fun during your time here."
Nothing else.
But this passage has already made Lu Chen's position clear.
He was more polite than affectionate towards the Dong family. At the same time, he would only stay in the Nanjiao Brigade and would not leave or go to the capital with them.
The Dong family members were not stupid, so they naturally understood the meaning behind Lu Chen's words. They were filled with thoughts, and finally they all sighed.
It is indeed difficult to make someone who has no feelings for them accept them quickly.
It will take some time for both sides to get going.
After finishing this discussion, Lu Chen left the room and continued to prepare dinner.
The Dong family members in the house began to discuss matters concerning him, specifically how to compensate Lu Chen.
They had already inquired about Lu Chen's experiences over the years from the captain's wife on the first day they arrived. Naturally, they also knew how miserable it was for Lu Chen to grow up without a father or a mother, so the Dong family decided to repay him for all their guilt towards him and his mother.
The Dong family didn't stop discussing until Lu Chen came outside to invite them to dinner, but they still didn't come to a conclusion.
At the dinner table, the Dong family began to try to ask Lu Chen some questions about him, such as what he liked, what he needed, etc., and they almost had the words "We want to compensate you" written on their faces.
Even Meng Yinyin noticed that the Dong family was unusual, so Lu Chen naturally realized it as well.
However, his reaction was still very cold. No matter what the Dong family asked, he said he didn't need anything, leaving the Dong family at a loss as to where to start.
Although this was the first meal after everyone finally confirmed their relationship, the Dong family members had no appetite for the meal.
After dinner, Meng Yinyin sneaked into Lu Chen's room again to ask him about the Dong family. Lu Chen did not hide anything from her and directly told her that the Dong family said he was their grandson.
Meng Yinyin couldn't help but mutter after hearing this: "Then why did they ask you that question while we were having dinner? Could it be that they were trying to make up for you?"
Lu Chen didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he shared the same idea as Meng Yinyin.
He himself did not have much affection for the Dong family or their things, and did not want to accept their compensation, but he was a little worried whether Meng Yinyin would care.
After all, although he didn't know the specific situation of the Dong family, he could see that their conditions were very good. If Meng Yinyin wanted it, he...
Fortunately, Meng Yinyin has always been the most clear-headed about such major issues. Seeing Lu Chen looking at her hesitantly, she immediately expressed her opinion.
"You decide your own affairs. I trust you completely!"
"Besides, it's actually really hot to hold someone else's things."
She whispered this very quietly, but Lu Chen heard it.
He was very touched by Meng Yinyin's understanding, and made up his mind again that he must rely on his own hands to let Meng Yinyin live a happy life!
Ever since the Dong family confirmed Lu Chen's identity, they never mentioned leaving again. The next day they even went to the town to contact Dong Qingcheng and asked him to come to Lu Chen's place to get to know him again.
The other members of the captain's team seemed to have noticed something. When they saw Dong Qingcheng coming to Lu Chen's house on the third day carrying large and small bags of things, they couldn't help but think that this family from the capital was too generous.
Lu Dashan and his wife, who lived next door to Lu Chen, were so jealous that their eyes were about to bleed. They hated in their hearts why those things were not given to them, but to that damn Lu Chen!
Jiang Guihua put her ear against the wall and vaguely heard Dong Qingcheng next door saying that he had brought something, and there seemed to be a radio inside!
Oh my god, that thing costs hundreds of dollars, and you may not be able to buy it even if you have money!
Now she had a deeper understanding of the strength of the Dong family next door, and at the same time she was more tempted.
Thinking about how her man seemed to be close to the Dong family in the past two days, she became interested.
