Chapter 476: So there is no body left...

If Jiang Guoping and his wife knew about this, they would definitely want to get involved again, after all, they had a legitimate reason.

As Jiang Rou expected, Jiang Guoping and his wife soon asked to meet with her.

The two of them worked in the production team every day. After Zhou Chongshan's instructions, the team leader would not let them out for no reason.

The most Jiang Guoping and his wife could do was to try their best to pass the message to Jiang Rou.

This time, Jiang Rou did not refuse the meeting, but unexpectedly agreed.

Because she had some doubts in her heart, she wanted to ask Jiang Guoping and his wife in person.

After Zhou Chongshan learned about this, he became particularly worried.

Jiang Rou is not alone now, she is pregnant with another child. If Jiang Guoping and his wife get emotional and start arguing, the consequences may be disastrous.

Jiang Rou is no different from before.

She complained.

"Chongshan, don't be so nervous. I'm only three months pregnant now. Apart from the occasional morning sickness, there's nothing else wrong with me. I'm just like before, and I'm fine!"

Even after hearing Jiang Rou say this, Zhou Chongshan was still worried.

He took half a day off on purpose.

"Wife, I'll listen to you on other matters, but I'll listen to me on this matter. I'll go with you."

Jiang Rou couldn't convince Zhou Chongshan, so she could only let the man follow her.

There are also advantages to following Zhou Chongshan. A man with a strong build and broad shoulders has an extraordinary aura when he stands there.

Jiang Guoping and his wife originally came together, and they were excited to meet Jiang Rou.

But after meeting Zhou Chongshan, Jiang Guoping's expression changed.

It was a very cold winter, and they both wore dark blue work clothes with old balloon sweaters underneath. Their bodies were covered with dust from moving stones. They looked very simple, but the details showed that they both had scarves and thick gloves.

Compared with others in the production team, it is already good.

During these days, Jiang Guoping and his wife received help from Jiang Rou from time to time, and they finally didn't have to go hungry anymore.

Their mental state is much better than before.

Jiang Guoping was a little scared when he saw the soldiers, especially when he saw Zhou Chongshan who was so tall.

Just met.

Jiang Guoping suddenly said, "I...I...I have a task to complete, so I'll go back first. You should have a good talk with Xiaorou."

He stuffed something into Jiang's mother's hands and left in panic.

Jiang's mother was standing by, also panicked and scared, and didn't even dare to look at Zhou Chongshan.

Jiang Rou figured out what was going on.

She gently pulled Zhou Chongshan's sleeve and said, "Chongshan, please go out for a while."

Zhou Chongshan glanced at Jiang's mother with a cold face. Seeing that she was an old and weak woman with a child, she could not do anything to Jiang Rou, so he turned around and left.

Wait until Zhou Chongshan leaves.

The air in the room seemed to be a little lighter.

Jiang's mother finally took a breath and dared to speak.

"Xiao Rou, I heard from the production team leader that you are pregnant. Is that true?"

"Well, I'm pregnant. I'm three months pregnant."

Jiang Rou told the truth.

Jiang's mother's face suddenly showed a look of surprise and joy, and she said happily.

"That's great, that's great... My Xiaorou is going to be a mother too. I've always thought that when you get married and have children, I can still help you take care of the children..."

Speaking of which.

Jiang's mother's eyes were red and there was a hint of tears in them, revealing guilt and self-blame.

But Jiang Rou's expression remained unchanged.

Because she is not the original owner, not Jiang's mother's former daughter, she cannot empathize with her.

Jiang's mother thought Jiang Rou didn't like to hear these words and still resented her.

She wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.

"...Xiao Rou, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing again. Mommy is not qualified to tell you this now. Your dad and I did something wrong... We are sorry for you, but we are really happy to know that you are pregnant, and we are relieved to see that you are doing well... This is for you."

The ball of stuff that Jiang Guoping had stuffed into Jiang's mother's hands earlier was now placed in front of Jiang Rou by her mother.

It was wrapped in an old piece of clothing.

Jiang's mother opened it bit by bit.

Hidden in the clothes were three eggs.

Red, dyed, red eggs.

"Xiao Rou, do you remember? There is a custom in our hometown that if a daughter is pregnant and gives birth, she must share the red eggs. Your father and I have been thinking about it for a few days and want to give it to you in advance. Don't reject it, just ask for a good omen, and bless you to be safe and smooth."

Jiang's mother's voice was slightly choked with sobs, but she was also somewhat happy and smiled timidly.

Jiang Rou looked at the red eggs, and a slight change appeared in her calm eyes.

Because in Jiang Rou's hometown a century ago, there was also a custom of eating red eggs.

Although she and Jiang Guoping and his wife are not parents and children, they are indeed connected in some aspects.

Moreover, Jiang Guoping and his wife had no idea how long they had been hiding these three eggs before they managed to save them.

Jiang Rou finally gave in.

"Thank you. I'll take it."

Jiang's mother was overjoyed. "As long as you are willing to accept it, that's good! That's good!"

For some time afterwards, Jiang's mother asked many questions one after another, and Jiang Rou answered them all.

Beneath Jiang Rou's seemingly softened surface, she still didn't forget the most important thing.

"Where's Lin Xiu'er? Are you still unwilling to tell you the truth?

Jiang Rou no longer beat around the bush. She came to meet him this time just to ask him in person.

Jiang's mother was suddenly stunned, her smile froze and her face turned pale.

His eye sockets trembled and tears fell.

This time without Jiang Guoping's obstruction, Jiang's mother vented all her emotions.

"Wuwuwu... Wuwuwu... She's dead... She's dead..." Jiang's mother sobbed and sobbed. She wiped her eyes but couldn't stop her tears. "On the day of the tsunami earthquake... She died..."

Jiang Rou frowned when she first heard the news.

For a moment she couldn't believe that Lin Xiu'er died so easily.

But when I thought about how Zhou Chongshan didn't find Lin Xiu'er on the list of people who went to the island, it was consistent with her death.

After all, how could a dead person appear on the list?

besides.

Jiang's mother cried sincerely, it didn't sound fake, and she said a lot more afterwards.

"Xiu'er...she wanted to come to you for a long time...she said your man was hers...she also told you what she did to you...she knocked you out..."

"Xiao Rou, I'm sorry... I'm sorry... We know you didn't leave voluntarily, but we didn't look for you... I'm really sorry..."

"Later I found out that you were doing well... How could I let Xiu'er influence you... Your father and I both stopped Xiu'er from looking for you..."

"But it just happened, it just happened...she sneaked on the boat without telling us that day and sneaked out alone...and a storm happened...she died...she just died like that, we didn't even find her body...there was no body left..."

Jiang Rou's calm expression was finally broken when she heard the words "no body left".

It reminded her of the original story, where the original owner's final fate was to fall into the sea during the storm that day and nothing was left of his body.

Since Lin Yuyao left, Jiang Rou has integrated into her current life and has not thought about her past life or the original text for a long time.

Whether this is the world of the original novel or another parallel space.

She just wanted to live a down-to-earth life and have a good time every day with Zhou Chongshan.

But he didn't expect that the coincidence of fate continued and it fell squarely on Lin Xiuer.

Mother Jiang continued to cry.

"Xiao Rou... Mom knows what you are worried about... Xiu'er is no longer here, we already don't have a daughter, and we can't live without you anymore... Your father and I really just want to see you... I hope you are doing well..."

Jiang Rou believed what Jiang's mother said.

Jiang Guoping and his wife have never been bad people with bad natures. They are just ordinary and worldly people.

They seek benefits and avoid harm. When they have a biological daughter, they want her; but if the biological daughter dies, it is also good to have an adopted daughter.

That's why they started looking for Jiang Rou as soon as they arrived on the island, trying desperately to recognize her as their relative.

Now Jiang Rou understood everything.

After listening to Jiang's mother's venting, Jiang Rou accepted it calmly until Jiang's mother calmed down a little.

Jiang Rou suddenly asked.

"Did I have any accidents as a child? Or have I been hospitalized for a long time?"

"Ah?" Jiang's mother was stunned, paused for a moment, and then answered, "No, no. Xiaorou, when you were a child, you only had a few colds and fevers. In other aspects, we took good care of you and never let you get seriously ill..."

When Jiang's mother heard Jiang Rou reminiscing about the past with her, she was unexpectedly happy.

She wanted to continue, but Jiang Rou stood up after hearing the answer she wanted.

Jiang Rou accepted the three red eggs and said, while her mother Jiang was looking at her in surprise.

"The weather has been cold recently. I'll ask someone to send you some clothes in a few days."

Finished.

Jiang Rou walked out of the small house without looking back. Zhou Chongshan was waiting for her outside the door.

She still had no feelings for Jiang Guoping and his wife, but it was true that they had taken care of the original owner for eighteen years.

Now that she was using the original owner's body and had a baby in her belly, she considered it as repaying the original owner for the 18 years of raising her. In the future, she would take care of Jiang Guoping and his wife.

After Jiang Rou left.

Jiang's mother looked at the figure walking away outside the door, and then thought about Jiang Rou's last words.

Tears fell from the red corners of his eyes again.
