"Sister?" Qi Mengmeng was a little suspicious. Is this a new trick used by the human traffickers?
At her age, she doesn't look like the other person's sister at all.
The man looked at Qi Mengmeng, put away the bitter smile on his face, and apologized to her: "I'm sorry, maybe I recognized the wrong person."
Qi Mengmeng frowned, said nothing, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait," the man called her again, and asked expectantly, "Do you know Qi Huilan?"
Qi Mengmeng didn't say anything, just looked the man up and down.
When the man saw her gaze, his eyes brightened instantly and he said quickly, "You are Huilan's daughter, right? I am your fourth uncle, Meng Lao Si."
Meng Laosi?
Qi Mengmeng remembered that her mother said that her eldest uncle and fourth uncle died during the war. Could this person be her fourth uncle?
"I really am your fourth uncle. I really am your fourth uncle. Have you heard your mother talk about me?" The man's eyes were filled with expectations. He even grabbed Qi Mengmeng's arm.
Qi Mengmeng quickly stepped back, avoiding the man, and asked, "My mother's name is indeed Qi Huilan, but do you know what my father's name is?"
The man nodded: "Your father is Qi Zhijun. Among the five of us brothers, he is the only one with the last name Qi. Later, Dad married Huilan to him, which means the Qi family has not been cut off."
Qi Mengmeng was a little confused: "My mom said that my eldest uncle and fourth uncle are both gone."
Her meaning was very clear. If you were her fourth uncle, why didn't her mother know?
Meng Laosi sighed deeply and said to Qi Mengmeng, "It's a long story. Why don't you go to your fourth uncle's house and he will tell you."
Qi Mengmeng didn't move and said, "Let's cut to the chase and just go home."
Meng Laosi: "...My eldest brother and I have been fighting with the army. After my eldest brother died, I was also injured. After recovering from my injury, I have been in the army ever since. I left the army a few years ago due to health reasons and am now in Beijing."
"Then why don't you go home? Grandpa and mom thought you were dead." Qi Mengmeng felt that there were too many loopholes in the other party's words.
Meng Lao Si smiled bitterly and lifted his left sleeve to show Qi Mengmeng: "Look at my current state, it is inconvenient for me to go out. I once asked someone to go back, but I only knew that my father was dead, but there was no news about Huilan."
Qi Mengmeng didn't believe it. If she could find out that Grandpa Qi had died, wouldn't she know that Qi Huilan was married to Ge Tiezhu?
This fourth uncle looks weird. Maybe he is worried that Grandpa Qi’s identity will affect him.
I have to say, the truth about Qi Mengmeng is revealed.
Meng Laosi had always wanted to make a name for himself in the army, but he lost his arm. He became an officer of moderate importance in the army, married a wife, but had no children. Later, his wife died of illness, and he lived alone.
He really did secretly look for Grandpa Qi, but Grandpa Qi had passed away at that time, Qi Huilan had married Ge Tiezhu, and Qi Zhijun had not looked for him yet.
When he knew that Qi Huilan had found a home, he did not go forward to recognize her because he was afraid that Grandpa Qi's background would influence him.
But so many years have passed, his health is not good, and he remembered what happened back then. Today, when he unexpectedly met Qi Mengmeng, he thought about recognizing Qi Huilan.
"My daughter, is your mother doing well now?" Meng Laosi asked expectantly.
"Very good." Qi Mengmeng didn't know what the other party meant, so she nodded.
"That's good. Give me your mother's address. I have something to talk to your mother about." Although Meng Laosi had been there once, he did not leave Qi Huilan's address. He was in poor health now and could not go out.
"What's the matter?" Qi Mengmeng asked.
Meng Laosi looked at Qi Mengmeng's expression and knew that if he didn't tell her, she would not give it to him.
He sighed and said slowly, "I am sick now and will soon die. I want to see Huilan before I die. I don't have any other relatives. I have some things I want to leave for Huilan."
Qi Mengmeng didn't know whether what he said was true or not, so she asked tentatively, "Where are your family members?"
"I have no family. I married a wife before, but she died a long time ago." Meng Lao Si smiled bitterly, and then asked, "My daughter, why are you in the capital? Did you marry and come to the capital?"
"My name is Qi Mengmeng. I came to Beijing with my husband for medical treatment." Qi Mengmeng felt that Meng Laosi was a little strange and didn't want Qi Huilan to see him. What if there was something wrong with this man?
"Mengmeng, if you are worried about me, just tell your mother that fourth brother wants to see him. She will definitely come. I really can't make it anymore and I just want to see my relatives." The expression on Meng Laosi's face did not seem fake.
Qi Mengmeng thought for a moment and said, "How about I give Qi Zhijun a call first and ask him what he thinks?"
"Third brother?" Meng Lao Si's face was full of surprise: "Third brother is still alive?"
You are still alive, why can't Qi Zhijun be alive? At least Qi Zhijun has a conscience and went back to find Qi Huilan. He also sent money to Qi Huilan over the years. Even if it was used to support Qi Mengmeng, it was considered news.
Meng Lao Si soon realized that there was something wrong with his words and quickly made amends: "Third brother, are you still in the army now? What about Huilan?"
Qi Mengmeng did not reveal any news about Qi Zhijun and Qi Huilan, but just nodded: "I'll ask him first to see if he can come over when he's free?"
"Okay, Third Brother and Huilan, anyone can come." Meng Laosi's eyes shrank. He had already thought about how angry his third brother would be if he knew that he was alive but had not contacted them for so many years.
Qi Mengmeng looked Meng Laosi up and down. She remembered Qi Huilan saying that if Meng Laosi was alive, he would be only one year older than her. Qi Huilan would still look so young, but Meng Laosi looked more than ten years older than him. No one knew how he had survived all these years.
"Mengmeng, my home is in the alley behind. You can go and get to know the place so you can tell your parents." Meng Laosi's eyes were full of anticipation.
Qi Mengmeng didn't want to go. In case there was something wrong with this Meng Laosi, she didn't want to put herself in danger.
Ever since Xiaoyun’s incident, she realized that this era has its own dangers, so she’d better be careful.
"Give me the address, I'll go and tell Qi Zhijun first." Qi Mengmeng finally did not agree to go to his house.
Meng Lao Si then realized something was wrong and asked, "Why did you call your father's name?"
Qi Mengmeng: ...Your reaction time is a bit long.
As long as Meng Lao Si saw that Qi Zhijun and Qi Huilan had divorced, it would be fine to tell him, so she said naturally: "Of course, before my grandfather died, he married my mother off. I grew up with my mother. Qi Zhijun later married another wife, and they don't live together now."
Meng Laosi knew that Qi Huilan was married, but he didn't expect that Qi Zhijun would marry someone else, so he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Third brother, how can you marry someone else?"
Qi Mengmeng: ...There's something wrong with this fourth uncle?
