Chapter 1149: Chapter 1149: Birth Mother Visits 1

Guan Cheng took out five yuan and a pound of Grain Ticket and gave it to her while taking the silver dollar and the jade feather pipe.

Transaction complete, without deceiving either the young or the old.

"Thank you brother, you’re really a good person, and good people will always be rewarded!" The girl joyfully pocketed the money and Grain Ticket, and ran off in a flash, disappearing in a moment.

Guan Cheng shook his head, considering it a good deed for the day.

If it hadn’t been for the kindness of the Lu Family and Feng Qingxue, he and his brother would not be where they were now, so whenever he encountered someone in need, he was willing to extend a helping hand instead of looking on with indifference.

It was a rare trip to the city, and Guan Cheng visited several black markets, spending more than twenty yuan.

The money was given to him by Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, so in his heart, unless he particularly liked something and would ask Feng Qingxue for it, everything else belonged to Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue.

In the evening, he trudged through the deep snow back to Wanglou Brigade. As he reached the entrance of the village, he saw someone waving at him.

"Auntie, what do you need me for?" Recognizing the fully equipped figure as Wang Fengqiao, Guan Cheng promptly asked.

Wang Fengqiao pulled him toward her own house while speaking, "Don’t go back just yet, come sit at my home, wait until nightfall before you return. I’ve also called Tianzhi and Ayu over to our place."

"What happened?" Guan Cheng was utterly confused.

Wang Fengqiao snorted and said, "This noon, a madwoman came to our brigade with two or three boys and girls, demanding to see you. It just so happened she ran into me. I asked who she was, what she wanted you for, and she claimed to be your mother. She heard you were doing well and deliberately brought your brothers and sisters to find you."

Guan Cheng was shocked, "What?"

For the first time in many years, he heard news of his biological mother.

When he and Guan Yu were brought by Feng Qingxue, they arrived without causing any disturbance to the locals, including the group of orphans. So, how did his biological mother find them? How did she know he and Guan Yu were at Wanglou Brigade?

Wang Fengqiao seemed to sense the confusion on his face and spoke in a low voice, "As soon as I heard she was looking for you, I knew something was wrong. Although Qingxue never mentioned it, I think I have figured it out. I used to visit the Lu Family often as a child and naturally saw your aunt and your father. And you happen to have the surname Guan. Many of the old folks in the brigade could guess, but they just wouldn’t say it outright."

"Thank you!" Guan Cheng said softly, aware that the origins of him and his brother could not be hidden from the astute elders of the village. He was especially grateful for their discretion, allowing him and his brother to grow up safely.

Wang Fengqiao continued, "I asked your mother why she was certain that the two orphans taken in by our brigade were her sons. After all, there are many people in the world with the same name. Guess how she responded?"

"Probably started from the Lu Family. The detail about my aunt marrying here, she knows it all too well."

"Exactly!" Wang Fengqiao clapped her hands, "She said, her sister-in-law married into the Lu Family of the Wanglou Brigade. If Guan Cheng and Guan Yu taken in by the Lu Family are not her sons, then who are they? They say little Guan Yu bears a strong resemblance to the youngest son of the Lu Family, and that youngest son is the spitting image of his mother. To say that he and Guan Yu aren’t related would be too absurd even for fools. Moreover, she learned that the time the Lu Family took you in was exactly when you both went missing from the broken temple. Doesn’t that fit together?"
