Chapter 1186: Chapter 1186: Confirmation Received 1

After Fang Ning left, Feng Qingxue remembered that she had forgotten to ask about Fang Ning’s in-laws. She wondered whether Fang Ning knew about Qiao Desheng’s family background after they got married. She must know, right?

Qiao Desheng kept it a secret from outsiders, but surely he wouldn’t keep it from his own family?

"What are you thinking about instead of resting properly?" Lu Jiang returned from washing the diapers and saw his wife deep in thought. He couldn’t help but say, "I’ve told you many times, when the child sleeps, you should sleep too, to avoid lack of sleep."

Feng Qingxue motioned for him to come closer, and when he did, she asked, "Do you know about Qiao Desheng’s family background?"

"Family background? What family background?" Lu Jiang was completely confused.

Just as Guan Cheng walked in, holding Fubao who was taking his afternoon nap, Feng Qingxue yawned, "Let Acheng tell you, I’m going to sleep."

She turned over and lay down, dismissing everything else.

Lu Jiang had no choice but to put his daughter to bed on the small kang and cover her with a blanket, then he asked Guan Cheng.

Guan Cheng was initially startled, then said, "At present, it cannot be confirmed whether Comrade Wang Xuehai from Mr. Zhou’s family is indeed my maternal aunt Wang Xiangxue, as I have never met her and don’t know the specifics. It’s just that the name and birthplace are the same."

"Is it related to Qiao Desheng?" Lu Jiang asked.

Guan Cheng quietly explained the whole story to him, and he suddenly understood, "No wonder Qiao Desheng was so anxious when the triplets were born. When I asked him, he said it was nothing. Ever since Fang Ning was transferred here, he hasn’t taken any leave. Other than missions, he has not left the army. This year, unusually, he’s going to take a home visit leave, at the end of this month."

After saying this, he couldn’t help but scrutinize Guan Cheng, "I never imagined your maternal grandfather’s family had such a history!"

Guan Cheng said helplessly, "What good does a grand history do? When the moon is full, it begins to wane; when a river is full, it overflows. Nowadays, whether it’s the Wang Family or the Guan Family, both have vanished into the past, leaving only us to survive by any means we can. If she hadn’t suddenly turned up, being so vulgar and vicious that even I question how such a person could end up with my father, my grandmother wouldn’t have mentioned the Wang Family at all."

Lu Jiang patted his shoulder, "You’re still young; youth means you can afford to wait. There will come a day when you’ll get what you want."

"Will there ever be such a day? One where, in the name of the Guan Family, I and my brother can live upright and proud," Guan Cheng asked. "Will it, Uncle? Will there be such a day? How long do we need to wait?"

"There will be!" Lu Jiang had seen a lot of materials at Feng Qingxue’s place, "Ten years, and you’ll only be thirty."

Although this great movement would end in eight years, dealing with the aftermath would take some time. It was very clear on those documents that the redress for most people took place around 1978 to 1980, more often later than earlier.

A trace of a smile appeared on Guan Cheng’s face, "I hope what you said comes true, Uncle."

"You little one!" Lu Jiang knew he still didn’t believe. After all, it had almost been nineteen years since the founding of the nation, and those with undesirable "class origins" had always struggled. "Do you want to see Qiao Desheng?"

After some thought, Guan Cheng shook his head, "No, I’d rather not."

"Why? If it were because their family is currently in the limelight, I would understand your reluctance to be seen as opportunistic, but their family is in trouble now. Given his parents’ unclear situation, shouldn’t you go and find out exactly what’s happening?"

Guan Cheng hesitated upon hearing this.

Feng Qingxue hadn’t fallen asleep; she turned over and said, "Go ahead, Ajiang, you take Acheng to find Qiao Desheng. Inquire if his mother is indeed your aunt. Regardless of whether she is or isn’t, ask if there’s any way we can help Qiao Desheng!"
