Chapter 1155: Chapter 1155: Birth Mother Visits 7

Chen Dazhuang changed into a pair of wool valenki boots and threw on an old military coat that Lu Jiang had discarded, then sauntered over to the Wanglou Brigade office. From far away, he could hear loud voices and clamor, especially a shrill and harsh woman’s voice that could be heard from miles away.

Upon hearing this woman’s voice making a bold statement, Chen Dazhuang heard her say, "I don’t care, say what you will, but I need to see Guan Cheng and Guan Yu, they are my children, I gave them life, so they must support me!"

"Right, support us, I want to eat."

"I want to eat!"

"I want to wear a cotton-padded jacket!"

"Hurry and let our two brothers come out to cook for us and send clothes, I’m almost starving to death, freezing to death."

Following the woman’s voice, there was a chorus of children’s voices, all talking at once, revealing their greed.

The elder residents of the Wanglou Brigade had nothing to do in the winter, and upon catching wind of such news, they couldn’t even bother to prepare dinner, appearing on the large open space in front of the brigade office in twos and threes, gathered in groups and talking amongst themselves.

Upon seeing Chen Dazhuang, someone immediately waved to him, "Dazhuang, over here!"

Chen Dazhuang walked over and pretending to know nothing, he asked, "What’s happened? Why are you all gathering here, livelier than during the New Year? Who’s speaking in the office? Sounds like a woman, and she even mentioned the names Guan Cheng and Guan Yu. Guan Cheng and Guan Yu are really down on their luck, how could two homeless orphans suddenly have a mother?"

"Hey, we’re all puzzled. That woman insists that she’s Guan Cheng’s mother, and now that Guan Cheng has grown up and is capable, he should support her and take care of his younger siblings. Oh, and she brought a string of four or five children with her!"

"She said she had already severed ties with the Guan Family a long time ago and remarried, and that all her children are from the second marriage."

"My goodness, I always thought that the brothers Guan Cheng and Guan Yu were orphans, left to fend for themselves on the streets, cold and starving, and that’s why Qingxue picked them up and took them in to raise at her home."

"Who didn’t think that? The strangest part is, according to that crazy woman, Guan Cheng and Guan Yu are cousins of the Lu Family."

At this point, someone asked Chen Dazhuang, "Do you know anything about this? I was wondering, our brigade took in such a large group of orphans, yet your niece only took in the Guan brothers, turns out they are the Lu Family’s cousins."

Chen Dazhuang outright denied it, "What do I know? I’m still completely in the dark! Don’t go making assumptions. Initially, seeing so many orphans, Xiaoxue felt sorry for them, pleaded with my uncle, and they were taken to live in the bomb shelter. You all know about this! Later, after discussion, the brigade took them in, and it was Xiaoxue who paid to build them houses. As for why she took in Guan Cheng and Guan Yu, it was mainly to take in Guan Yu, who at the time was so sick he was barely hanging on. Xiaoxue saved his life, and he clung to Xiaoxue, calling her mom, which moved her to adopt him to keep Tianzhi company, and Guan Cheng was just included to accompany Tianjun."

Chen Dazhuang noticed that as he spoke these words, many of the village elders listened intently, with a hint of amusement on the faces of those who were older and knew better, while the younger ones who had never seen the Guan siblings showed curiosity on their faces.

Therefore, Chen Dazhuang cleared his throat and continued his speech.

"Qingxue has only been married into the Lu Family for a few years? She has never met Lu Jiang’s older brother, Lu Jiang’s sister-in-law, nor any of the long-gone Guan Family members. How would she know anything about the Guan Family? Out of sheer conscience, she just adopted a few orphans. I myself am baffled, how can there suddenly be a ’Guan Family’? There are many people with the surname Guan all over, how did Guan Cheng and Guan Yu become those from the Guan Family we know? Think about Guan Yu’s age, it doesn’t match the time when the Guan Family had their troubles, does it?"
