But Jiang Dongcheng quickly denied his idea.
After all, Jiang Ye called him uncle, so he definitely had nothing to do with him. Why should he tie others to himself?
Whenever he had something on his mind and didn't want to keep it to himself, he would talk to the old man.
The old man is an experienced person and can enlighten him most of the time.
He walked into the old man's room, and before he could open his mouth, the old man said, "I heard you and Wu Min arguing again. They said there was someone who looked very similar to you. It was the woman you had a misunderstanding with last time. She's his son, right?"
Although the old man is old and has been paralyzed, his ears and brain are still good.
"Dad, let me tell you the whole story. That woman was about my age, Comrade Xu's mother-in-law, and she had just come from the countryside.
The first time we met, she mistook me for her long-missing husband and called me "Da He." I told her she had the wrong person, but the second time we met, she kept calling me "Da He." Wu Min happened to see us, and she misunderstood what was going on between us. Then, she suddenly told me she had the wrong person.
Later, I ran into her again on the bus. Perhaps because she had mistaken me before, she felt awkward seeing me again, so she deliberately avoided me. Unexpectedly, she fell when getting off the bus. I was close to her and wanted to help her, but Yushan saw us again.
You know what kind of people these mother and daughter are. They must have misunderstood me again. I was angry and slapped Yushan, and then the mother and daughter started to make trouble with me together.
When I saw that woman again later, she seemed to be able to avoid me. Yiming said his eldest son looked like me, but I didn't think much of it. However, the mother and daughter saw it and kept pestering me.
They said I looked exactly like that person, so I didn't believe it and went to take a look. And sure enough, I saw that I looked just like them.
"So, you two look more than nine times alike."
"It's more than just a resemblance. When I see him, it's like seeing a photo of myself when I was younger. We're the same height, and I think our body proportions are similar. If we were that age again and stood next to each other, you probably wouldn't be able to tell us apart."
"It's so similar."
The old man laughed silently, he wanted to see the child immediately.
Jiang Dongcheng frowned, "Dad, why are you still laughing? Do you think this is a good thing? The mother and daughter at home both suspect that I'm their illegitimate child. With their personalities, I'm afraid they'll keep nagging about this and start a fight with me."
After listening to him, Old Master Jiang thought for a while and said to him, "Dongcheng, remember I told you before that I had a dream. I dreamed of a gourd vine with three small gourds on it that looked like dolls. It seems that Jiang Yang has not only this brother, but also a sister, which means he has three children in total."
"Dad, what do you mean? Do you really think those three kids are my children? I'm already in a mess, and you're adding to it."
The old man laughed again. "I don't mean to cause you any trouble. They say having more children brings more blessings, and I want more grandchildren too. Okay, okay, I know this kind of thing would be very frustrating for you, and it would be a tangled mess. Your father sees things differently from you. Decades ago, before the new society, a man having three wives and four concubines wasn't considered excessive, right?"
"Dad, I understand your perspective. You can't empathize with my situation. So stop making sarcastic remarks. You don't know how annoying your son is. Dealing with the suspicions of mother and daughter every day is driving me crazy."
"So you think the fact that he looks so much like you is just a coincidence?"
"What else can I do? I can't possibly have a child with his mother when I didn't even know her, let alone have any contact with her."
"Didn't you lose your memory for a few years?"
"That was impossible during those years. I was always in the mines, which is far from their Qingping Bay."
"Since you lost your memory during those years and woke up at the mine, everything you know about what happened during those years was told to you by people at the mine."
"Yes, they said I had been working in the mines for a long time and that I hit my head while working there, so my memory was restored."
"Hasn't it ever occurred to you that they might be lying? Didn't you say it was an illegal mine and you had to go through a lot of trouble to escape? If it's an illegal mine, then the owner can't be a good person and tell you the truth, right? The boss just wants you to feel at ease working there, so he's deliberately lying to you, right? And isn't it possible that your fellow workers are lying to the boss?"
Jiang Dongcheng was speechless for a moment. "At the time, I felt I had escaped, so I didn't think too much about it. Even if I had thought about it, what they said might be false. There were ten thousand possibilities in my life during those years. Do I need to consider all those ten thousand possibilities?"
"I didn't have to think about it before, but now it seems I need to think about it."
"Dad, are you saying that during the years when I lost my memory, I found someone else to bear children, and those three children were born?"
He suddenly remembered the look in Mei Xiangcao's eyes when she looked at him in the courtyard at home, and his body suddenly trembled.
They had already said it before, that Mei Xiangcao had mistaken someone for the wrong person. However, when she looked at him just now, her eyes didn't look like she was looking at a stranger, nor did they look like she was looking at an insignificant person.
There seemed to be hope, helplessness, and... deep affection in those eyes.
deep feeling?
How could he even think of writing a word!
But when he thought of that look, he felt that this word was the most appropriate description.
deep feeling!
She was deeply in love with him, and they really had something in common.
They had been together before and had three children.
In other words, Mei Xiangcao did not recognize the wrong person. He was the husband she was looking for who had been missing for many years.
He couldn't believe it. He suddenly had a wife he had been separated from for many years and three grown-up children.
A man is approaching middle age and suddenly has another family. What should he do?
He looked at the old man with some confusion: "Dad, that lesbian later denied that I was the man she was looking for. Her son also said that I just look like his father, but I am not his father."
"Dongcheng, you are simply obsessed with the authorities. You are afraid of such a situation because of the constraints of morality and ethics. Dad is half an observer and sees things more clearly than you.
Didn't you say that when she was chasing you on the street that day, Wu Min suddenly appeared? Wu Min even accused her of seducing you, so she must know that you have a wife now."
"Yes, she had insisted to me before that I was her long-missing husband. But when Wu Min showed up, she immediately changed her tune."
"That's it. Jiang Yang came to our house before and must have recognized you. He left suddenly that day. Now it seems that it was because of this incident."
"I thought he was afraid of me. I also thought I didn't look that scary. And Comrade Xiao Xu had the same expression when she saw me."
"You look so much like her boyfriend, and she's so smart that she figured out you're her boyfriend's father. She probably thinks you're a heartless person."
"I, I'm unfaithful?"
"Then why do you think Comrade Xiao Xu hates you so much?"
"When he saw I had another family, he thought I was unfaithful."
"There must be some other misunderstanding here."
