Because of Meng Yinyin's guess, Lin Xiuzhi was panicked and frightened at the same time.
How could she guess that? This is simply impossible!
Isn't it said that people of this era avoid talking about ghosts and gods? Besides, it is impossible for them to have such imagination!
In short, no matter what, Lin Xiuzhi was indeed caught off guard by Meng Yinyin's guess.
"I am who I am. I have always been who I am. It's just that you didn't know me well before, so you didn't know my personality at all!"
Lin Xiuzhi didn't know whether she was trying to persuade Meng Yinyin or comfort herself.
"If you say these nonsense words again, be careful that someone will hear you and take you away!"
Meng Yinyin did not say a word after this threat, as if she was intimidated. Lin Xiuzhi heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but she had originally wanted to continue to have a good relationship with Meng Yinyin, so at this moment she could only give up and quickly slip away.
Was Meng Yinyin frightened by what she said? Of course not!
Not only that, she was even more certain that something was wrong with her from Lin Xiuzhi's panicked expression, especially when Lin Xiuzhi denied her guess, she looked more like a coward.
Perhaps, there is really something wrong with this Lin Xiuzhi in front of me.
Meng Yinyin raised her eyebrows and suddenly found things more interesting than ever before.
Lin Xiuzhi is not right. Does this prove that the book she saw in her dream is becoming more and more detached from the current reality
For example, now she seems to no longer see any sparks between Lu Chen and Lin Xiuzhi.
Not bad, not bad, this is a good omen!
Just thinking about how Dabao and Erbao seem to be becoming more and more pitiful, Meng Yinyin felt a little sad.
She was concerned that something might happen between Lu Chen and the real Lin Xiuzhi, but the two children were innocent and pitiful.
It would be great if there was a way to make Lin Xiuzhi return to her original appearance and take care of the two children, but without having any special feelings for Lu Chen.
Because of this matter, Meng Yinyin didn't concentrate on reading the whole day, but kept thinking about how to have the best of both worlds.
The Dong family also gained nothing.
Just as the old lady's son and daughter-in-law said, waiting for their old mother to wake up was really a mysterious thing. In short, they stayed in the house for almost the whole day but did not wait for the old lady to wake up.
In the afternoon, the family of four returned to Lu Chen's house exhausted, and then went into the house for a meeting.
They have been in the Nanjiao Brigade for two days, but judging from the current situation, they can be said to have gained almost nothing.
For no apparent reason, the Dong family members began to feel irritated and panicked.
If there is no progress, then what is the point of them coming here
"Dad, Mom, how about this, let's just confront Lu Chen directly." Dong Wen Qian saw that her parents' brows were tightly furrowed and their expressions seemed to have aged a bit, and she felt worried.
In fact, the two elders are the most obsessed with finding their sister, and they are so old now, they might pass away one day, so naturally they want to find the truth in their limited life.
Dong Wen Qian and her husband are both filial younger generations. Not to mention herself, her husband was also raised by her parents since childhood, and the old couple are like his biological parents to him.
Hearing Dong Wenqian speaking at this moment, Deng Tao nodded in agreement with a sincere tone.
"Dad, Mom, Wen Qian is right. In fact, the most critical factor in this matter is Lu Chen."
"We have been investigating for such a long time, and all signs indicate that Lu Chen's mother is my younger sister, so instead of looking for those lost clues, we should seize the time to recognize Lu Chen and spend more time with him."
When saying this, Deng Tao quickly glanced at Dong Wen Qian, and received an affirmative look from Dong Wen Qian.
The two people's thoughts are all expressed in silence.
After hearing this, the old couple of the Dong family remained silent for a long time. Perhaps they were really tired and didn't want to look for some so-called "clues" or "evidence" anymore. Finally, they nodded.
"Okay, then let's explain this to Lu Chen tonight."
Seeing that the old couple finally nodded, Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "You've been tired outside all day. Mom and Dad, you should have a good rest first. I'll help Lu Chen and the others make dinner."
After saying that, the two of them left the old couple's room and walked out.
The moment they closed the old couple's room, Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao looked at each other and saw relief in each other's eyes.
The two of them first returned to their room because they had something to say.
After closing the door, Dong Wen Qian sat on the stool and smiled bitterly.
"Tell me, if my sister knew that I mistook a person who I wasn't sure was her for her, would she blame me?"
Deng Tao sat next to her, patted her shoulder and comforted her.
"If Wenqi were still alive, she would definitely understand us."
In fact, it’s not that they don’t want to accurately confirm their identities, it’s just too difficult, too difficult.
So many years have passed, haven’t they found it
Found it.
But every time they went there with full of expectations and hopes, they got disappointing results.
As disappointments accumulate, your heart will become tired.
But after correcting for a period of time, the mentality can be adjusted again, but what cannot be stopped and adjusted is time.
Dong Wen Qian watched helplessly as her parents' hair grew more and more white, and as she watched helplessly as her parents' faces grew more and more wrinkles.
She and Deng Tao could afford to wait and rest before continuing to look for their sister, but her parents could not.
This long journey must have consumed all their energy, so Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao knew very well that they had no extra energy.
In this case, why not make their dream come true
Even though she was really not sure whether Lu Chen's mother was her sister, but now that things had come to this, even if she was not, she must be!
Because she knew that her parents could no longer withstand another disappointment, and that would be a huge blow.
"I hope Lu Chen is really my nephew."
Finally, Dong Wen Qian sighed deeply and said no more.
At this moment, they had already prepared themselves mentally to treat Lu Chen as their nephew no matter what, because only in this way could their parents be more convinced and feel more at ease.
After the two made up their minds, Lu Chen came back not long after. Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao went out immediately after hearing the sound, and then called Lu Chen aside before he entered the house.
"Comrade Lu Chen, can I have a private conversation with you?"
Dong Wenqian's voice was very low, as if she was afraid of being heard.
Lu Chen paused, looked at Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao, and finally nodded.
Then the three of them went to the kitchen, the place farthest from the Dong family's old couple's room.
In the kitchen, Dong Wen Qian did not delay and directly expressed her hope that Lu Chen could cooperate with them to play the role of the old couple's youngest daughter and son.
"I think you also know the purpose of our visit this time." Dong Wenqian smiled helplessly.
"But for now, we really can't find any evidence to prove this, but my parents are old, and I can't bear to let them run around, so..."
Dong Wenqian thought that after she said this, Lu Chen would agree directly because of their sincerity, but she didn't expect that Lu Chen would refuse without even thinking about it.
"I'm sorry, I may not be able to help you with this."
Dong Wen Qian was stunned.
"Comrade Lu Chen, this matter is actually not as complicated as you think. You just need to..." Call grandma and grandpa a few times.
But before she could finish her words, she heard Lu Chen continue: "Comrade Dong, fake is fake after all. Do you think the two elders will be happy about this?"
Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao were both stunned and did not speak for a long time.
The two were silent for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly.
They originally thought that as long as they persuaded Lu Chen, the matter would be a complete success, but they didn't expect that Lu Chen's words would wake them up.
Yes, will parents really be happy if they deceive them like this
The two of them didn't mention it anymore, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the person who came was the same voice they had heard during the day, it was the old lady's son!
"Comrade Dong, my mother is awake now. If you have something to say, tell her now!"
Dong Wenqian and Deng Tao were still immersed in loss in the previous second, but heard the good news in the next second!
The two looked at each other, and then immediately split up, one went to open the door to ask for details, and the other went to call the old couple. Soon, the old couple came out excitedly, and then the four of them quickly followed to the old lady's house.
After they left, Meng Yinyin heard the noise and came out. Seeing the Dong family hurried out, she looked confused.
Seeing this, Lu Chen told her what had just happened.
Meng Yinyin said "oh", and because of Lu Chen's previous attitude towards this matter, she didn't ask any more questions.
It's just that she was not curious about this matter, but she cared a lot about Lin Xiuzhi.
So after hesitating for a moment, Meng Yinyin expressed her guess implicitly.
"Um, do you think Lin Xiuzhi is acting strange recently?"
Naturally, it was impossible for Meng Yinyin to say that Lin Xiuzhi might not be the same Lin Xiuzhi as before, so she could only lead Lu Chen to that speculation as much as possible.
Otherwise, she was really afraid that Lu Chen would think she was a monster.
After hearing this, Lu Chen didn't think much about it, because Lin Xiuzhi was indeed too abnormal.
He looked at Meng Yinyin's cautious, fearful and even panicked expression, paused, and then comforted her.
"Don't be afraid, Dou Zhengrong will find a way."
Although Lu Chen didn't know what was written in the letter that Dou Zhengrong asked him to send last time, he had a hunch that the letter was related to Lin Xiuzhi.
Meng Yinyin felt relieved when she heard this.
Yes, the most anxious person should be Dou Zhengrong. She now just hopes that he can find a way to solve this matter.
…
At the same time, in a small village in Yunjiang.
"Awu, there's a letter for you!"
The man named Awu took the letter handed to him. He was confused at first, but when he noticed that the sender was his former comrade-in-arms, his brows relaxed.
It was just very quick, but when he saw the contents of the letter clearly, his brows furrowed again.
After quickly browsing through all the contents, Awu put the letter away, then returned home and said to his family, "I'm going to be away for a while."
