The knocks on the door outside were getting louder and louder. Old Mrs. Qin was annoyed: "Don't go out, I'll send them away!"
"No, since they are my daughter's adoptive parents, we should meet them!" Lin Wanru frowned. In fact, she had wanted to find them for a long time.
She wanted to ask her face to face today how she took her daughter away and how she abused her daughter.
When Old Lady Qin saw the looks of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she knew that they were going to settle things.
Without saying anything else, he washed his hands to clean the salt off them, then walked towards the front yard.
"Mother-in-law, I know you are at home. Please open the door!" Zhi Hongxiang kept knocking on the door. This time she learned her lesson and was not as aggressive as before.
She understood the people of the Qin family well enough. They would respond to soft tactics rather than hard ones. The last time they came, they were too forceful, which caused the Qin family to be disgusted.
So on the way here, she repeatedly told the old man and his sons and daughters-in-law not to have any conflicts with the Qin family again.
Just when her hand was about to fall on the gate again, the gate suddenly opened.
Old Lady Qin was looking at them impatiently: "What are you doing here again?"
Zhi Hongxiang looked at the large group of people behind Old Lady Qin, and without thinking too much, she smiled ingratiatingly: "Mother-in-law, why did you open the door just now? Why are there guests at home?"
Her eyes stayed on Jiang Yimin and his wife. She felt that this woman dressed like a noble lady had an indescribable sense of familiarity, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before, so she just thought she was overthinking.
Come to think of it, how could she, an old rural woman, possibly know such a person?
"What does it have to do with you whether there are guests in my house or not? Don't forget that my Yu Wei has nothing to do with you anymore!" Old Lady Qin's tone was still harsh.
Not to mention that she and Yu Wei have no blood relationship, even if there is a blood relationship, she no longer has any good feelings towards her. She wished that they would never have any contact with each other for the rest of their lives, and even after her death, she would not let her Yu Wei wear mourning clothes.
If it had happened in the past, Zhi Hongxiang would have been furious if Old Lady Qin had spoken to her in such a tone, but for the purpose of her visit, she had to hold it back.
She ignored Mrs. Qin and looked at her daughter behind her. She immediately showed a regretful expression: "Yuwei, I came here to apologize to you. I was anxious because your brother was getting married and the betrothal money was not enough. That's why I had to find you out of desperation. Don't argue with me."
As she said that, she took two steps forward, wanting to reach out and hold Xie Yuwei's hand.
In the past, seeing my mother talking to me in this way meant that she knew she was wrong.
I was afraid that Xie Yuwei would cry with joy and hug her, thinking that her years of hard work had finally been rewarded.
But now, Xie Yuwei just felt very hypocritical and even disgusting. She took a step back expressionlessly, and Zhi Hongxiang's hand fell into empty air.
At the same time, Jiang Yimin and his wife protected their daughter behind them, and Lin Wanru's cold voice rang out: "Don't touch my daughter!"
Although she is over fifty years old, she is well-educated and still has charm. The aura she exudes is enough to crush Jiang Zhihongxiang into the dust.
This was the first time that Zhi Hongxiang had come into contact with such an elegant lady. Standing in front of her, she always felt ashamed of herself. She was so shy that she didn't know what to say and didn't pay any attention to what she had just said.
But she didn't hear it clearly, but the two brothers Xie Baogang heard it clearly.
"What are you talking about? Xie Yuwei is obviously my sister and my parents' daughter. How did she become your daughter?" Xie Baogang asked unhappily.
"Haha, do you have any shame? This is obviously my sister.
I heard that you guys are trying to exploit my sister for the bride price of your youngest son. I want to ask you where you got the nerve to exploit a sister who is not related to you by blood?
Are your biological parents all dead?" Jiang Jiabo said with a mocking look on his face.
Xie Baogang's temper exploded: "Who the hell are you? You are talking nonsense here. Did you forget to take your medicine before going out?"
However, Zhi Hongxiang was briefly panicked. She had never thought that the fact that Yu Wei was not her biological daughter would be exposed.
Could it be that this noble lady was the one who put Yuwei in the firewood pile back then?
She looked at the woman's appearance carefully, but could not match her with the woman from that year.
It was so long ago that she only remembered that the woman was well-dressed and looked rich.
When she put the baby down, she said, "I'll come find you after I lead the bad guys away. Your father will bring his soldiers to rescue us."
She was not far away at the time. After hearing her words, she thought of her two hungry sons at home, and that her family was so poor that they had to eat tree bark.
I thought that since this woman’s husband was a soldier and had soldiers under him, she must be an official and her family must be very rich.
So she had a bad idea and thought about taking the child away after she left.
It was obvious that this woman loved her daughter very much. If the child was missing, she would definitely come looking for her. Then she could say that she saw and heard the baby crying in the firewood pile.
She saw that there were no adults around and after waiting for a while she still didn't see anyone, she took the child back.
But what she didn't expect was that she waited and waited, until Yuwei could walk, but she still didn't show up.
At that time, I was unwilling to throw Yuwei away, as it would be like serving her for nothing for so long.
So I kept her, wondering if her parents would come looking for her in the future.
