Chapter 75 Phone Call

"Xiaowu just called and said that she met a man who looked 60% like her in the brigade that went to the countryside. He was not her biological son. His adoptive parents picked him up on the roadside at Ming'an Railway Station in November 1944."

"Really." Yu Jiaren was shocked: "In that case, he might be our second son." Ming'an City is only a few hundred miles away from the train station where the two elders of the Zhang family lost Jiayi.

"How about this, you call Xiaowu." Zhang Chunyu told Yu Jiaren Xiaowu's phone number.

After paying the phone bill, Yu Jiaren thought about it and decided that he should tell his parents about this matter. It would have been better if his second child had had a mole or birthmark when he was young.

He rushed back to the ward with breakfast. Li Xiulan had already woken up and was leaning on the bed drinking water. She had lost a lot of weight in just a few days. She looked not only haggard but also several years older.

Yu Jiaren felt very upset when he saw this, but when he thought of the good news he had brought, he cheered up again: "Mom and Dad, Xiaowu called Chunyu today."

Hearing the news about her daughter, Li Xiulan's calm eyes moved and she looked over: "What happened?"

"Xiaowu said that she met a man who looked very similar to her in the village yesterday. He was born in the same year as Laoer and was abandoned on the roadside of Ming'an Railway Station in November 1944. The man was eventually sent to the hospital by a couple for treatment. Because they couldn't wait for the child's biological parents, they took the child home to raise."

He watched with his own eyes as his mother's dead eyes began to light up after she heard the news. He felt sad and uneasy, fearing that Xiaowu had made a mistake.

"Really? Xiaowu has found her second brother." Li Xiulan got out of bed and didn't even bother to put on her shoes. She walked to her eldest son and asked expectantly, "You are not lying to me?"

Seeing this, the father and his two sons from the Yu family felt sorry, uncomfortable and painful, and self-blame kept lingering in their hearts.

Yu Jiaren nodded: "Really, Mom, let's call Xiaowu now and ask about this matter."

"Yes, yes, let's make the call now." Li Xiulan strode outside.

Seeing this, Yu Zhian ran out with his shoes in hand: "Xiu Lan, let's put on our shoes first before making the call. If you get sick again, Xiao Wu will be worried."

We would be worried too.

Li Xiulan put on her shoes obediently and said, "Boss, take me to make a phone call right away. I want to ask Xiaowu if it's true."

Yu Jiaren nodded: "Don't worry, Mom, we'll make the call now."

While Yu Wanqing and Zhou Chengye were waiting for the call, Huo Lanci went to the state-owned hotel and bought some buns for them: "Eat two buns first, and then have dinner after the call."

"Thank you." Zhou Chengye took the two big meat buns and said thank you with a smile.

Huo Lanci smiled faintly: "You're welcome. If you are really Wanqing's second brother, you will also be my second brother in the future."

Zhou Chengye suddenly felt that the big meat bun in his hand no longer smelled good after hearing this. He glanced at the girl who was eating the bun with a smile, then looked at Huo Lanci, and suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.

He looked at Yu Wanqing: "How old is Yu Zhiqing this year?"

Yu Wanqing raised her head, her cheeks puffed up from eating the buns: "Eighteen years old."

Zhou Chengye's heart softened instantly when he saw this. Not only did this sister look like him, she was also so pretty and cute. She was exactly the sister of his dreams.

Thinking of her dating at the age of 18, he frowned slightly: "At 18, there is no need to rush to find a partner."

If she really is your own sister, and she is snatched away before you even have time to cherish her, how devastating it would be.

Yu Wanqing smiled and asked Huo Lanci to stand further away. Huo Lanci glanced at her and reluctantly stepped back ten meters.

Huo Lanci instantly felt a sense of crisis. Before he was sure whether he was his biological brother or not, he had to stand aside.

Yu Wanqing whispered, "I was the first one to fall in love with him. It's rare to meet someone who suits my taste, so I should settle down as soon as possible."

She looked at Huo Lanci: "Don't you think he is tall and good-looking?"

"He is very skilled and can kill a wild boar with one punch. I am also very strong. When we get married and have children, I will definitely be a good-looking strongman."

Zhou Chengye looked incredulous. What did he hear?

"Were you really the first one to fall in love with him?" Zhou Chengye still didn't believe it.

Yu Wanqing laughed: "It's true, the first time I saw him at the captain's house, I wanted to drag him home."

Zhou Chengye didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this moment, the phone rang. After the operator answered, he looked at Yu Wanqing and said, "Yu Zhiqing, it's you."

Yu Wanqing and Zhou Chengye hurried in. Yu Wanqing thought it was her sister-in-law calling, but what she heard was a hoarse voice: "Xiaowu, this is Mom."

Yu Wanqing quickly asked, "Mom, how do you feel now? Are you feeling better?"

Li Xiulan briefly talked about her own affairs, and then asked about the person who looked like Wanqing: "When I heard your eldest brother talk about it, I still felt like I was dreaming."

"Mom, this is real, you are not dreaming." Yu Wanqing looked at Zhou Chengye: "Comrade Zhou is right next to me. I want to ask mom, does my second brother have any birthmarks?"

Li Xiulan was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes."

"Your second brother has a red mole on the sole of his right foot." Li Xiulan gritted her teeth in anger when she said this: "The fake's right foot has scars all over it. The old couple of the Yu family said that the child was young and ignorant, and he stepped on the hot coals and burned his foot directly."

"Even the red mole is gone."

Now I think it's not that the child got burned because of ignorance, but the two old guys were worried that they would find out that the child was not real, so they used this method to cover up the fact that the child had no red mole.

Yu Wanqing looked at Zhou Chengye: "Do you have a red mole on the sole of your right foot?"

Zhou Chengye took a deep breath and nodded. He looked around and found that besides the two of them, there was only the switchboard operator busy not far away. He gritted his teeth and finally moved away from Yu Wanqing before taking off his socks.

Yu Wanqing looked at Zhou Chengye's raised right foot, and the red mole caught her eye. She suddenly laughed, "Mom and Dad, Comrade Zhou has a red mole on the sole of his foot."

She told me the location.

Li Xiulan on the other end of the phone burst into tears when she heard this: "Yes, it's this location, it's this location."

"Xiaowu, he is your brother."

"Wait for me. I'll ask your father to buy the tickets and we'll go to Nanfu County now."

"Xiaowu, ask your second brother to wait for us. Don't leave. Wait for mom."

Yu Zhian and his two sons couldn't help crying when they heard the exact news. Yu Zhian asked his two sons to comfort the emotional Xiulan. He took the phone and said to Yu Wanqing, "Xiaowu, can you let your second brother answer the phone?"

Li Xiulan nodded. Even though she couldn't meet her son now, she couldn't wait to hear her son's voice.
