"Everyone is like a frightened bird, and everyone is in danger."
Mr. Xiao said: "I don't know how long this will last. Our country can't stand the turmoil. It's already full of wounds and holes. How many innocent people have died with hatred in their hearts."
Old Master Gong said: "We old guys are half buried in the earth, so don't worry about it. We live one day at a time. If we collapse, there are tall people to hold us up."
"We have to believe in our country. Things will get better one day. It won't stay like this forever."
"Okay, old man Xiao, let's not talk about these things to avoid making everyone feel upset. Let's talk about happy things. Didn't you just say you were happy? Do you have any good news to share with us?"
Grandpa Xiao: "Haha! My grandson called me and said that my granddaughter-in-law has been pregnant for a month. This is not the point. The point is that my granddaughter-in-law is pregnant with twins. What do you think? Are you surprised? Are you happy?"
"My great-grandson is also your great-grandson. As grandfathers, don't you want to bring a gift for the meeting? This is a little unreasonable."
Mr. Gong said: "That is really something to be happy about. Old Man Xiao, since you have given us such good things, we should give you something in return. I will have someone send the gifts over later, and you can send them to your future great-grandson."
Grandpa Xiao took out the photo and said, "Look, my grandson's wife is not only talented and beautiful, but also very filial. She also started a sideline business in her village. My grandson's vision in finding a wife is first-rate."
When old man Gong snatched the photo, his eyes widened and he almost fainted. This scared old man Xiao and old man Gu, and they immediately pinched the man's Ren Zhong point to prevent him from fainting.
Mr. Xiao said, "Old Gong, what's wrong with you? My grandson's wife is just a little prettier. Are you really like this? You scared us. If you faint, we won't be able to get away with it. Are you trying to scam me?"
Old Gong didn't hear what Grandpa Xiao said at all. He just stared at the photo stupidly. The person in the photo looked exactly like his wife when she was young. He was sure that this was the granddaughter that his family had lost. He also found out that the granddaughter was deliberately taken away and abandoned.
It's really a blessing in disguise. We have been looking for her so long but still haven't found her. I didn't expect that she is still alive and well. She is so beautiful and has become the granddaughter-in-law of old man Xiao. This is really fate.
After Old Man Gong calmed down, he asked, "Old Man Xiao, I want all the information about this girl. Please get it for me right away. Don't you realize that she looks exactly like my wife when she was young?"
"I am 100% sure that she is the granddaughter that my family lost when she was young."
"We have been looking for her for so long, thinking she must have died, but to our surprise she is still alive."
Old Man Gu and Old Man Xiao couldn't believe it either. They didn't expect that this was the little girl from the Gong family. They remembered that the Gong family had a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, but the girl disappeared just a few days after she was born.
They thought the girl was gone because the twins were difficult to raise, but they didn't expect that she was quietly taken away by someone.
The old man was in no mood to chat anymore, so he hurried back to use his connections to find out where Xia Yunxuan was and every detail of her past.
When Grandpa Gong came home, he called everyone back. The people at home were wondering what Grandpa had to say and why they were still busy. He insisted that they come back now or not.
At first, we thought something had happened to the old man, but when we heard the loud voice, we couldn't guess what the old man was up to.
But there was no other way. No one dared to disobey the old man's orders, and everyone had to give up their work.
An hour later, all the members of the palace arrived at the house, and the old man sat in the throne, holding a photo in his hand. The people were even more confused, who was the photo of?
Gong Jinghuai, the youngest son of Master Gong, asked, "Dad, why did you call us back in such a hurry? Is there something wrong? You scared us all and we thought something happened to you."
The eldest son Gong Jingting also said, "Yes, Dad, I was in a meeting at the military district. When I received your call, I ran back without even starting the meeting."
The second son Gong Jingkai said: "Dad, don't you usually play chess with Uncle Gu and Uncle Xiao? Did something happen to you?"
"Dad, if you have any problem, just tell me. We, your sons, can help you solve it. Although I am just a small leader, I can still do some things."
Master Gong did not keep the secret, took out the photo and said, "My dear wife, I found Yunxue, and I have news about her."
After the old man said this, the place became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
This news was really a bolt from the blue for everyone. At that time, Meng Zhixia gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, in the hospital. But when she was about to be discharged, her daughter was stolen.
They searched the whole capital but could not find any clues. They thought their poor daughter had been killed.
Unexpectedly, now the old man said that he had news about her. How could they not be surprised?
Gong Yu'an: "Grandpa, where did you get this news? Is it true? Is it accurate? You know we have been looking for my sister for so long, and my mother is not in good health because of this. We can't let everyone be happy in vain."
Meng Zhixia: "Dad, tell me where you got the news. I want to know. I want to go and see if she is my daughter."
"I don't know how my daughter is doing these days, and I don't know if she hates us for abandoning her when she was a child."
Master Gong: "All of you listen to me quietly. My information is 100% accurate. Do you know who the Xiao family kid married?"
"She is my granddaughter. She is now a villager in Xiangshuwan Brigade. Her surname is Xia and her name is Xia Yunxuan."
"But I have some bad news to tell you. From what I have found out, that family didn't treat her well. They raised her as a maid and beat and scolded her since she was a child."
"Even if they sent her to school to learn a little, it was to sell her for a good price in the future. The old woman sold her to Zhang the butcher in the town who beat several wives to death for 500 yuan."
"The girls in that family were older than her, and they all bullied her and didn't give her food to eat. In winter, they made her wash clothes with cold water, and her hands were frozen."
