Chapter 1156: Chapter 1156: Birth Mother Visits 8

"Guan Cheng’s mother said that Guan Yu is a posthumous child!" someone chimed in.

Chen Dazhuang spread his hands, "A mouth is just two flaps of skin; it can make up anything. You all forgot, back then Wang Lingzhi used those same flaps of skin to spin tales at the commune, framing the Lu Family and Guan Cheng, making it so hard for Guan Cheng to marry a good wife. Now their family’s found someone, who knows from where, with unclear origins, do you think their words are trustworthy? Anyway, I don’t believe it. If Guan Cheng and Guan Yu really had a mother, would she have let them end up homeless and on the streets? They survived only because Xiaoxue adopted them."

Lu Grandpa Three sat on a stone padded with an old sheepskin, tapping the snow-covered ground with his cane, "Dazhuang, hold on a moment, what’s the relation between the people who came to make trouble today and Wang Xinlai’s family?"

The rest of the people echoed, obviously all having the same question, "Tell us about it!"

Chen Dazhuang feigned surprise, "You don’t know? They’re the ones found by Wang Xinlai’s wife. Whether Wang Xinlai had anything to do with it, I can’t say for sure since I didn’t witness it myself. They bumped into my spouse on their way into our brigade. My spouse, being quick-witted, didn’t bring them to the Lu Family. On the way, they were asked how they found the place; just as they passed by Wang Xinlai’s house, they said it was Wang Xinlai’s wife!"

Upon hearing this, someone immediately said, "That’s settled then, it must be Xinlai and his wife getting back at Guan Cheng!"

"What does Lingzhi serving re-education through labor have to do with Guan Cheng? It’s all her own doing. Guan Cheng didn’t do anything."

"Usually, Wang Xinlai and his wife seem so honest, not much for words, but who knew their hearts were so venomous? That Wang Xinlai’s wife going to the commune to settle scores with Wu Lijuan, making it so that Wu Lijuan now dares not leave her house, that’s not unfounded."

"Dear heavens, how poisonous can people’s hearts be! They want to ruin Guan Cheng and Guan Yu’s lives!"

Everyone sympathized deeply; if what this woman said were true, that Guan Cheng and Guan Yu were descendants of the Guan Family, their social status would be different.

Lu Grandpa Three couldn’t help frowning, "What is this mess? Guan Cheng and Guan Yu are just two orphans, raised by our brigade, just like any of us country folks, working and earning work points, what the hell do they have to do with that damned Guan Family?"

The few middle-aged and older people who knew the truth nodded along. An old man whose life Guan Cheng once saved exclaimed, "Exactly, exactly, they grew up right here with us. That long gone Guan Family never raised them, never taught them; their good thoughts and skills were all nurtured by our great laboring masses—what does it have to do with the Guan Family?"

"Right, right, the children we raised are the sons and daughters of the working people; they’ve got nothing to do with the Guan Family."

"Such good young men, both hardworking and intelligent, trudging over mountains and through rivers to gather herbs, treating the illnesses and wounds of the poor folks in miles around, their hearts as red as the sun; how in any way are they like those Guan Family people?"

As the discussion grew heated, Wang Zhengguo came out.

"Dachun, Dachun, go find them, bring Guan Cheng and Guan Yu here, today in front of everyone we’ll have a good talk about this matter. We can’t let any Tom, Dick, or Harry come and trouble the common folk of our brigade!"

In the crowd, where they were just saying Guan Cheng and Guan Yu had nothing to do with the Guan Family, Wang Dachun gave an affirmation, "Understood, I’ll go find them right now!"
