Chapter 61: Cousin
It took Yang Xiaoxi some effort to break free from the woman's hands.
She didn't expect that Xie Guangan's wife would be so difficult to deal with. The fierce-looking girl turned out to be a paper tiger, and she was also implicated.
A month had passed when Yuan Lingling found out about this. She had read the original novel and knew that Xue Wen was not a bad person, but she was rather blinded by love.
She believed that Xie Guangan could subdue her if he wanted to.
These two people have someone in their hearts for each other, so it's better for them not to harm others.
In fact, Yuan Lingling no longer needed the answer in the letter, because she was already convinced that the so-called cousin Feng was actually her cousin.
And Ding Yue is really her cousin.
Cousin Feng's name is Feng Teng. He looks at least 60% similar to Yuan Lingling. As soon as he stood in front of Yuan Lingling, she felt the intimacy he brought.
It was the same feeling as when I first saw Ding Yue's mother.
It was only then that she realized that Ding Yue looked like her father, so she didn't think about it that way at the time.
"My father passed away a few months ago. The only thing he was worried about before he died was his lost sister."
At that time, the brother and sister encountered some troubles, and Feng Ling was forced to leave with his things. As a result, he broke his head and lost his memory.
But she probably didn't lose her memory completely, so she knew that the box of things could help her find her relatives. It's just that in Yuan Lingling's memory, she was not keen on letting Yuan Lingling go looking for her relatives.
Yuan Lingling didn't know what was going on in her mind. Maybe she felt that her current identity was a bit embarrassing as she had already given herself to another man who was nothing, or maybe it was for some other reason.
A big part of the reason why she married Yuan Qiang at that time was because she was pregnant. She couldn't hide her pregnancy for long, and Yuan Qiang looked honest, so Feng Ling chose him.
But the facts have proved that just because they look honest doesn’t mean they are really honest. Feng Ling and his children suffered a lot in the Yuan family.
And she didn't know who the biological father of her child was until her death.
This matter was mentioned in the letter written by Xie Guangan. It turned out that Feng Ling had secretly tried to find out her own background, but because Old Lady Yuan was keeping a close eye on her, the matter was left unresolved, and she died of depression because of it.
"Your father has passed away in the accident that year, but don't worry, you are not without relatives. Grandpa and aunt have already come over here. From now on, we are all your relatives."
After hearing what Feng Teng said, Yuan Lingling felt complicated. It turned out that her original body still had relatives.
"I have a younger brother." Yuan Lingling said, "My mother and Yuan Qiang's younger brother, he is now serving in the army."
Feng Teng was silent for a while and said, "Aunt's children are all our relatives." After saying that, he wanted to reach out and touch Yuan Lingling's head, but he took his hand back the moment he moved.
-
The news that Yuan Lingling had dinner at Political Commissar Sun's house and that she was close to Sun Qian had been circulating in the family compound.
Everyone said that Shen Caisheng and Yuan Lingling were not simple people. They immediately got close to the leader as a backer. What they knew was that she saved the boy from the Sun family, and maybe she was trying to repay the favor in private.
Some people always like to speculate about others with the greatest malice, never caring whether their speculation will cause any unnecessary trouble to others.
Qian Jiao was a little annoyed, "I told you they were not the kind of people who would keep quiet, but you didn't believe me. Look, they just took this opportunity to climb up."
Previously, she thought that the couple were indeed courageous for jumping into the water to save people, but their true colors were exposed after that incident. She said that they did not really want to save people, but wanted to gain benefits by saving people.
"You better stop spreading gossip. If I hear these things outside, you should go back to your hometown."
Yes, Qian Jiao was the wife that Qi Yue's mother found for him from the countryside. In fact, Qian Jiao was pretty, educated, and capable of doing housework, so Qi Yue had no complaints about her.
But she was the only daughter in her family. Even in the countryside, she was spoiled as her name suggests. Therefore, she was a little spoiled. Her biggest flaw was that she learned to nag from those country aunts, and now she brought this bad habit to the army.
"You...what's your attitude? Who am I doing this for? Is there something wrong with what I said? Didn't you see that Yuan Lingling is not only close to Sun Qian, but she even wants to get to know Sun Qian's cousins. Who would believe that she is just trying to climb up the social ladder?"
"Cousin? Are you sure? Which cousin?" Qi Yue was a little surprised. It was not what he thought.
He heard that Political Commissar Sun's family background was very powerful and that he was the nephew of that leader. But if he was Sun Qian's cousin, he might not be from that family. He was probably overthinking it.
"I don't know which cousin it is. I just heard his name was Feng or something."
With a clang, Qi Yue's bowl fell to the ground.
Feng, if his last name was Feng, he would also want to climb up.
At this time, Yuan Lingling had no idea what kind of powerful person her cousin who suddenly appeared was. Xie Guangan did not give her a definite answer in the letter he wrote to her. He just guessed that she might not really be Yuan Qiang's daughter. As for her father, they could not find out.
Either the incident happened so long ago that evidence is hard to find, or someone is deliberately preventing him from finding it.
Yuan Lingling didn't think much about it. She knew that Xie Guangan was capable, but that didn't mean that Xie Guangan could accomplish everything.
She took out the few remaining things that Shen Caisheng had taken from the Yuan family from the house, and she saw Feng Teng was very excited and said, "This is it, this is it."
He held the pendant excitedly for a while, then took out an identical one from his arms. Now everyone could see clearly that they were really family.
"You are really my sister." Feng Teng couldn't help but take a step forward and gently hugged Yuan Lingling in his arms. However, Yuan Lingling's big belly made his movements a little inconvenient.
At this moment, Shen Caisheng's voice came from outside, "Lingling, I'm back."
As soon as he entered the room, he saw his wife being embraced by another man.
The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.
Yuan Lingling was the first to react. She hurriedly said, "Caisheng, come here quickly. Let me introduce you. This is my cousin and this cousin." She was so nervous that she even forgot to introduce their names.
"Cousin?" Shen Caisheng guessed what happened almost instantly.
In fact, before he left Beijing, he also asked Lao You to help inquire, and they had already confirmed that Yuan Lingling was not Yuan Qiang's biological daughter. However, they found a lot of clues but could not find the person behind it.
In order to prevent Yuan Lingling from being happy for nothing, Shen Caisheng did not tell Yuan Lingling that he was going to follow this line of investigation when he met Ding Yue and her daughter in the car last time. Lao You had also found the Feng family, but Shen Caisheng happened to be out on a mission, and Lao You's letter was still in the study.
But at that time, Yuan Lingling wanted to use Xie Guangan, and was worried that her own affairs would affect Lao You in the book, so she did not let Yang Xiaoxi ask him for help. Otherwise, she would have been able to determine her own life experience earlier.
"Are you Chen Caisheng?" As soon as Feng Teng opened his mouth, he exuded the aura of a superior, and looked terrifying.
But Shen Caisheng seemed not to be affected at all and called him "cousin" politely.
Feng Teng knew at a glance that he had just returned from a mission, and he did not make things difficult for him. Although it was a bit of a downgrade for a girl from his Feng family to marry such a young company commander of ordinary background, it was precisely because of his ordinary background that he could achieve this position at this age that Feng Teng really looked at him with admiration.
He nodded slightly to Chen Caisheng, but said bluntly, "Go and clean it up, don't make my sister feel uncomfortable."
When these words were spoken, the girls nearby laughed out loud. Who would say such things to someone as soon as they meet?
Shen Caisheng didn't care at all. After hearing this, he stood at attention and nodded, then hurriedly went to take a shower.
Only Yuan Lingling could see how nervous he was.
Shen Caisheng entered the kitchen, still feeling a little nervous. He had long guessed that Lingling's mother's family might not be ordinary people, and now he saw that it was indeed the case.
The fact that they were able to find her in the family compound and that she wasn't afraid at all that I would treat her badly when she saw me can only prove one thing: they have the confidence.
This mission was heavy, and Shen Caisheng had returned home exhausted, so his mind was a little confused, but his hands moved instinctively and did the work quite efficiently.
When Yuan Lingling came in, the water in the pot was already hot.
Yuan Lingling found it funny when she recalled what Feng Teng said before he left: a grown man taking a hot bath in the middle of summer.
Hearing her laughter, Shen Caisheng turned around and saw that it was Yuan Lingling, and his eyes softened.
"Lingling, I miss you so much." He spoke in a low voice, probably because he was afraid that people outside might hear him.
The words "I miss you" made Yuan Lingling's eyes slightly red. He had been away for a month or two, and she missed him a lot, but she was more worried about him.
"Are you hurt?" Yuan Lingling looked at him. He was neither dark nor thin.
Sure enough, Shen Caisheng shook his head. "It's nothing. This mission is not too dangerous. It just takes a little time. How did your relatives suddenly find this place?"
"It's Ding Yue. I didn't expect that she is Sun Qian's cousin. But we are a combined family, so the relationship is quite complicated. We accidentally talked about my cousin, and they all thought that my cousin and I looked alike. As a result, when I asked around, I found out that he is really my cousin. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Of course Yuan Lingling wouldn't be stupid enough to say anything about how they look like a married couple.
But it was really a coincidence to meet these relatives. She is still a little dazed now.
Chen Caisheng nodded, "What a coincidence, is there any problem in confirming the identity?" It was obvious that the other party was not an ordinary family. If they made a mistake, it would be bad to say that Yuan Lingling had made a wrong claim.
"Probably not. There is a keepsake. Do you remember the pendant? My cousin has one too."
Shen Caisheng pondered for a while, "That should be correct." He took Yuan Lingling's hand and asked, "Are you happy?"
Yuan Lingling nodded and said, "I am very happy to have found my relatives."
Hearing this, Shen Caisheng kissed the back of her hand and said, "Just be happy."
"Hurry up and wash up. We'll go to Political Commissar Sun's house for dinner later." Yuan Lingling teased, "The ugly daughter-in-law is about to meet her parents-in-law."
Shen Caisheng squeezed her palm lovingly before letting her go.
When the two of them arrived at Political Commissar Sun's house, Shen Caisheng discovered that Yuan Lingling's grandfather was the target of his mission this time.
