Jiang Yu turned around and saw an aunt in blue clothes standing behind her, holding a little boy about three years old.
The little boy was extremely dirty, as if he had rolled in the mud, with two lines of snot hanging from his nose.
Seeing Jiang Yu looking at him, he grinned and gave her a bright smile: "Sister, you are so beautiful!"
When the aunt saw Jiang Yu's appearance, she cried out in her heart. She had never seen such a pretty girl in her decades of life. Look at her fair and tender skin, which was three points more tender than tofu.
The military casual clothes she wore and the military satchel with the words "Serve the People" printed on it all showed that her identity was extraordinary.
She has lived in this compound for so many years, but has never seen anyone have such relatives.
"Hello, auntie, I'm looking for Jiang Dajun's house." Jiang Dajun was the name of the original owner's father.
Hearing the name "Jiang Dajun", the aunt immediately looked her up and down again: "Who are you, Jiang Dajun?"
Jiang Yu lowered her eyes, a sad look on her face: "I am his daughter."
"Oh my God, you are Jiang Dajun's daughter who was mistakenly identified??"
The aunt's voice was naturally like a loudspeaker. When she shouted, several people immediately ran out from the yard.
"Old Cai, what are you yelling about?"
"Come and see, this is Jiang Dajun's daughter who was mistakenly identified!"
Several women rushed out of the house and surrounded Jiang Yu like an animal in a zoo, staring at her.
"Oh, she really is Jiang Dajun's daughter. I've seen her photo before."
"Now that you mention it, they do look a bit like Jiang Dajun and his wife, especially their eyebrows and eyes."
"Daughter, are you coming back to pay respects to your parents or to visit your grandfather and brother? Do your parents back there agree with you coming back?"
Jiang Yu felt as if there were tens of thousands of flies buzzing around her, but her face showed no impatience at all.
After the older sisters and aunts finished their questions, she finally said in a clear and precise voice, "I came back to recognize my ancestors."
What?
Return to one's roots?
"Hey, girl, you are not kidding, right?"
"I heard that your parents over there are both high-ranking officials. Do you really want to come back and recognize your parents here?"
Jiang Yu raised her head, her eyes full of seriousness: "I am the daughter of the Jiang family, so naturally I have to come back to recognize my ancestors. If I don't even recognize my own biological parents, what's the difference between me and a beast?"
Several people had seen her dressed so fashionably and looked so clean, and they knew she definitely didn't want to come back to live a hard life, but they didn't expect her to say such words.
I suddenly felt that she was a child who never forgot her roots.
However, some people still raised questions: "Your parents have been gone for half a month, why are you back now?"
Everyone frowned when they heard this: Yes, the Jiang couple have been gone for half a month. If this girl was really filial, she should have come back a long time ago!
Jiang Yu frowned, her eyes instantly turning red: "Sister, it's not that I don't want to come back. I fainted on the spot when I heard that my parents were in trouble. Later, I fell seriously ill and was unable to get out of bed until two days ago. Look at my hands-"
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing the needle holes on her arm. Because her skin was so tender, there was a large blue area around the needle holes, which looked a bit scary.
When everyone saw this, they no longer had any doubts.
This is a good kid with a conscience!!!
Unlike Jiang Xue, Jiang Dajun and his wife raised her as their precious baby for so many years, but she just left without a care in the world, abandoning her family.
How heartless!
Jiang Yu lowered his sleeves and lowered his eyes slightly.
The pinholes and bruises are real, but it’s not because of sadness. Instead, the original owner deliberately made herself sick after hearing about her life story so that her adoptive parents would feel sorry for her.
Who wouldn’t like a person with a conscience?
Everyone became more enthusiastic towards Jiang Yu and surrounded her as they walked into the compound.
From everyone's chatter, Jiang Yu also learned more about the Jiang family.
Because Jiang Dajun and his wife saved the son of the textile factory director, the director specially approved them to work in the factory. Jiang Dajun worked as a loader in the production workshop, and Jiang's mother was a textile worker.
Because the salary was good, there were two workers who received wages and rations, plus Grandpa Jiang also had an allowance, so even with three children, life was better than most.
Two months ago, after falling ill, the eldest daughter Jiang Xue suddenly said that she was not their daughter, saying that her biological parents were cadres. Then, despite the dissuasion of Jiang Dajun and his wife, she resolutely ran away from home.
The couple was extremely worried and they searched for her while working. Later, they found her, but were told that Jiang Xue was indeed not their daughter.
What made them even more upset was that both daughters were unwilling to recognize them and were unwilling to go home with them!
The couple returned to the factory sadly, but unexpectedly they had a car accident on the way and both of them died.
Traveling was inconvenient these days, so the funeral arrangements were made on site with the help of people from the factory.
Jiang Yu's eyelashes twitched slightly: "How are my grandfather and brothers now?"
The little boy held onto his mother's hands, twisting and turning, swinging on the swing. Aunt Cai slapped him on the butt and said, "Oh, that's not good. Ever since your parents left, the old man's health has deteriorated a lot. He's been in the hospital all the time. Plus, he's not a good cook, so the grandfather and grandson are so skinny."
"Yeah, it's really pitiful. They are old and young. We neighbors can't help them every day. After all, no one is rich these days." Another aunt interrupted.
Just saying.
