Chapter 401 Jiali is confused
Yu Jiali looked at his three uncles and said, "Uncles, do you know who my grandpa and grandma went to work with in Shangyang City?"
He felt that this fellow villager was the most crucial person.
Yu Zhiqing and Yu Zhitian both looked at the eldest son. When his parents left their hometown, the eldest son was already seven or eight years old and could remember things.
They are younger than their elders and can hardly remember anything from their childhood.
Yu Zhilin said without hesitation: "It's a distant relative. I remember my father called him my cousin. He lived in Shaxi County. I only met him once when he came home and took my parents away."
"Because he took my parents away, I had a deep impression of him. I never met him again, but I heard about this cousin from my grandparents. I know he is a very capable man. When he was young, he worked as a bookkeeper in a guesthouse. Later, he caught the eye of a wealthy family and was invited to work as a bookkeeper in their house."
"I heard that he was in charge of the accounts of a wealthy family, but grandpa and grandma told others that he was the manager of a wealthy family."
"Zhi'an, if you want to find your biological parents, you may need to look for the descendants of this cousin."
Yu Zhiqing frowned: "Shaxi is only a day's journey away from here, how come your family has relatives in Shaxi?"
This is what they can't figure out.
Yu Zhitian said: "If you really want to find out the truth, we can go with you."
I haven't been very busy recently, and a trip to Shaxi only takes a few days, which doesn't affect anything.
Yu Zhilin shook his head: "We can't all leave. My second son and I will stay here to stop our parents from coming to the county to look for Zhian, and try to buy you some time."
"Zhi An, I asked last night, and the two old people were unwilling to tell you who your biological parents were. The only thing I know is that you and we are related by blood."
"My grandparents only have one son, my father, so we don't have any relatives like aunts and uncles. Our relatives on our mother's side don't look like us. Now the only relatives we can doubt are our relatives on our father's side."
"Dad doesn't have many relatives. Most of them are from the same brigade or the brigade next door. The farthest one is Shaxi's cousin's family."
Yu Zhian said: "In this case, let's go to Shaxi. Now that we are here, we must clarify things."
"Third brother, you don't have to accompany us. You just need to tell me the name of that cousin and we can always find out something."
Yu Jiali nodded repeatedly: "Yes, three uncles, I still need you to go back and persuade the two elderly people at home to not come to the county town in the next few days."
After sending the three away, Yu Zhian and Yu Jiali immediately packed their luggage, checked out, and bought a train to Shaxi.
After waiting for more than two hours at the train station, they finally boarded the train to Shaxi. Yu Jiali looked at the scenery outside and suddenly said, "Dad, if I remember correctly, the fourth brother's military camp is not far from Shaxi County."
Yu Zhian glanced at his son and said, "If you say a day's drive is not far, then it is indeed not very far."
Thinking that it would take a whole day to sit in the car, Yu Jiali shut up instantly.
He's been spending a lot of time in the car recently, so he's still exhausted.
On the way to Shaxi, both father and son made many assumptions.
It was already noon when they arrived in Shaxi. After getting off the train, the two took a horse carriage to the county town. It took them half an hour to get to the only guesthouse in Shaxi.
After settling in, the father and son planned to go to the state-owned hotel for dinner. After the meal, they would inquire about Yin Zilie.
They did not ask about Yin Zilie openly, but pretended to be people who came on business trips. They were just curious about the local customs and wanted to inquire about some celebrities and famous events.
They wanted to slowly start to lead the conversation to Yin Zilie, but when they asked, an old man smiled and said, "Speaking of celebrities in Shaxi, Yin Zilie is the one."
Both the father and the son were a little surprised. They thought it was a difficult matter to find out, but unexpectedly, they got the information they wanted just by asking an elderly person.
The old man said: "Yin Zilie was the most powerful person in our parents' eyes. When I was very young, he was already working as a bookkeeper in Shangyang City."
"That's fine, the most amazing thing is his wife, she used the money Yin Zilie sent back to open a cloth shop in the county town, and her business is booming."
"Within two years of opening the cloth shop, Mrs. Yin gave birth to triplets. This was the first time in Shaxi County that triplets were born, and both the children and the adults were alive. The whole county was shocked at the time. He had money and three sons. I don't know how many people envied him."
"When the triplets were three years old, Mrs. Yin gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. Although the youngest son was not raised, what he had was something that many of us will never get in our lifetime."
When the old man said this, there was an envious look on his face.
Yu Jiali glanced at his father and pretended to be shocked: "In this case, Yin Zilie and his wife are really amazing. If they were still alive, they would definitely have five generations living under one roof."
"If he were still alive, he would be over a hundred years old. He would have left the country with his family and followed the master of Shangyang City decades ago. No one knows what he is doing now."
When Yu Zhian heard them talking about their youngest son not being able to support himself, for some reason he thought of Old Man Yu.
It is said that my grandparents gave birth to Old Man Yu when they were in their thirties. They had few children and Old Man Yu was their only son.
Yu Zhian had some suspicion that this son was Yin Zilie's youngest son who had died that year.
He sighed and said, "It's a pity. If the little son had been raised well, we would have four sons and a daughter now. How enviable."
"Although his youngest son was not raised, his youngest daughter was amazing. I heard that she was admitted to university and married the young master of the master's family. That's why the master took them with him when he left."
After hearing this, Yu Zhian pretended to be surprised: "At that time, it was hard to get a boat ticket. This owner was very kind."
After hearing this, the old man laughed and said, "Of course, the girl from the Yin family gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins for the young master of the master's family."
Yu Zhian and his son Yu Jiali learned a lot about the Yin family from their grandfather, and also knew where the Yin family members lived now.
Yu Jiali glanced at his father and asked in a low voice: "Dad, do we still need to look for the Yin family members?"
Yu Zhian shook his head: "No, I can probably guess what's going on now."
Yu Jiali stopped and looked at his father: "Do you know what happened?"
This shouldn’t be the case. We were all listening to this old man talking about the past of the Yin family, so why doesn’t he know what’s going on?
