Chapter 260: A World of Difference (Fourth Update)
The Jiang family members looked gloomy, and Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she jumped up and down, forgetting the purpose of inviting people. "Old man Jiao, tell me everything in one breath, what are people saying outside? Those people can't stand to see us, the Jiang family, doing well, right!"
Old Jiao shook his head and sighed, "Didn't your daughter run away from home? You have been searching for her for more than 20 years. Even if you searched secretly, there were still people who kept an eye on your family who knew about it and spread the news. So this time they said that your daughter must have been abused. That's why your family has good genes and outstanding looks, but you adopted a granddaughter who is too ugly to be seen in public, and they also said that there is something wrong with her brain."
"What basis do they have to say that? Didn't many people see my sweet grandson yesterday?"
"I don't know about that. It's just that someone saw it, so everyone spread the word." Seeing a table full of delicious dishes, the aroma went straight into his nose, and he found a seat to sit down in a very familiar manner. "They said your granddaughter is sloppy and has no manners at all. Her hair is frizzy, her clothes are wrinkled, she has a pair of dead fish eyes, a bulbous nose, and she is as ugly as can be."
Everyone was stunned and looked at An Zhixia. What kind of looks did those people have? How could such a stunning and beautiful girl become a little fool, with such "high" configuration, dead fish eyes and a bulbous nose?
An Zhixia's face was also full of black lines. After a little thought, she understood. She sighed softly and said to Old Lady Jiang faintly: "Grandma, we hugged each other and cried for a long time yesterday. Our image must be tarnished."
Old Mrs. Jiang also reacted and clapped her legs vigorously, "Look, I'm so happy that I'm silly. You too, old man, why didn't you remind us? It's a pity that my darling grandson, such a good-looking child, was humiliated like that!"
Mr. Jiang glanced at the old woman and said, "My mind was wandering at that time."
What a big mistake! Old Mrs. Jiang was a little distressed. "No, let's hurry up and eat. After dinner, dress up and go out for a walk!"
"Mom, now that we have figured out what happened, should we let Old Jiao check Hongye's pulse?" Jiang's mother reminded.
"Yes, yes, yes," Mrs. Jiang became excited again and pulled the chopsticks out of Mr. Jiao's hand. "It's already this late and you're still thinking about eating. Hurry up and check my granddaughter-in-law's pulse."
Before Mr. Jiao could even take a bite, he could only feel his mouth watering. He muttered, "How can you treat guests like this? Nothing in the world is more important than eating."
However, he still put on a serious face and looked around the room for a while, then asked Fang Hongye to sit on the sofa and put her hands on the armrest.
An Zhiqiu immediately moved a stool to the side.
Old Jiao sat down, put one hand on Fang Hongye's wrist, and began stroking his beard with the other hand, squinting his eyes and shaking his head.
Old Mrs. Jiang was anxious as she whispered to An Zhixia, "This old man is really good at showing off. He only has some medical skills, but he makes himself look like an old scholar. It's really frustrating!"
An Zhixia smiled and said nothing, but she was also anxious in her heart. Although she was not married, she was also looking forward to the arrival of a child. This family needed a child to make everything more vivid, lively and real.
After waiting for a long time, Elder Jiao finally said, "She is indeed pregnant. She has been pregnant for two months. This is the critical period for nurturing the fetus. You need to pay more attention to her. But the child is in good health, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Everyone was so happy that they couldn't help themselves. Old Master Jiang said to Old Master Jiao: "Thank you for your hard work, brother Jiao. Everyone at home was so anxious that we bothered you to eat. Come on, let's sit down and eat together! I'll bring the good wine that the eldest brother brought me, and we'll have a few drinks today. The eldest brother, Mingming, Zhiqiu, you guys should drink too!"
Old Mrs. Jiang snorted at him, "You old man, you never miss an opportunity to drink! Drink less, or forget about the next time!"
Old Jiao looked at him with great envy, with tears in his cloudy eyes. If his old wife were still alive, she would definitely go to get the wine while muttering to him and moving her bound feet to get it whenever he wanted to drink.
An Zhixia and An Zhiqiu stared at Fang Hongye's belly curiously, "Is there a baby in there?"
Although she had taken biology and physiology classes seriously and had read the little yellow text, she still couldn't help but sigh at the greatness of the Creator and had a greater awe of life.
The expectant mom and dad were so excited that they dared not move. They stared at the belly and seemed to see flowers.
Mother Jiang smiled and said, "The first three months are critical, but you don't have to be too cautious. Children are very strong. Hongye, you can't wear shoes that are too high in the future, and don't run or jump. It's best not to ride in a car, whether it's a bicycle or a car, it's very bumpy..." Mother Jiang instructed patiently.
The three members of the An family listened attentively like primary school students, and An Zhiqiu even asked Jiang Shiming to find paper and pen to write it down.
After Old Lady Jiang finished getting the wine, she told Aunt Zhang to stew the hen and to put red dates in it...
Because Fang Hongye was pregnant, everyone enjoyed the meal even more. However, Fang Hongye suddenly started to have morning sickness, and the reaction was severe. She vomited everything she ate, and could only hold a strawberry and eat it on the sofa.
After dinner, An Zhixia rubbed against Elder Jiao, smiled and asked in a low voice: "Elder Jiao, has your granddaughter confirmed it?"
Speaking of this, Jiao Lao paused while stroking his belly, glared at her and said, "I know why you are so annoying. You have an annoying grandma. As a granddaughter, you should learn to be like her. Can't I feel relieved for once?"
He pulled a long face and sighed: "I found it, it is indeed her. You can tell me, they are children of the same generation, why are there such big differences? How come none of the ones I have adopted and raised are obedient and sensible?
"Our Jiao family has been practicing medicine and treating the common people for decades. I don't want to ask for great blessings, but we can't let the cuckoo occupy the magpie's nest!"
He sent his grandson to Jiangzhou labor camp to meet Qi Yunlan in person and obtained a hair sample from her for testing. Three experiments confirmed that they were indeed related by blood.
Because she was the child of the Jiao family, the Chen family would definitely not guide her in the right direction, and Qi Yunlan went all the way to the end, and even committed the evil of trafficking women. The Jiao family didn't know how to treat this child, so they could only take her and her husband to Kyoto with great effort, set up serious rules, gave them a sum of money, bought them a three-bedroom house, and arranged jobs for them.
The Jiao family hopes that these two people can mend their ways and live a good life without being forced by life. This can also be regarded as making up for Qi Yunlan, no, Jiao Yunlan, who has been offended by the Chen family for the past twenty years.
An Zhixia blinked her eyes, "Mr. Jiao, have you really checked it out?"
"Can't we check this out?" Old Jiao's beard twitched. "If we don't check it out, can we really recognize them as a couple?"
"But," An Zhixia frowned and said, "You also know that she and I have never gotten along, so I am very concerned about her dynamics."
