Chapter 325: 0325 Complicated Relationship_1

It turned out that Hordy Young didn’t truly lack family members in the beginning.

It’s just that his life story was also full of twists and turns.

When he was young, he was actually adopted as well, with his biological parents nowhere to be found.

The family that adopted him treated him quite well, and he had several sisters at home.

Indeed, in that era, sons were favored over daughters—it was the norm, and it was for this reason that the family adopted Hordy Young.

However, once they had a son of their own, life became more difficult for Hordy Young as he was an outsider.

Later, during the turbulent times, it was tough for a family to even find enough to eat. After working for the family for more than a decade, Hordy Young, upon reaching adulthood, resolutely joined the army and went to fight on the front lines.

He had been sending money back home all along, but later something happened that led him to completely cut off contact with his family.

After the war, he didn’t return home. Instead, he changed his name and arrived in Haran Village, concealing his identity for decades.

He did send a little money home in the early days, until his family moved, severing all communication.

Decades passed, and during those times, people led very different lives, and with transportation not being convenient, and without any other message from Hordy Young, Ellen Young had always believed that Hordy Young had no relatives.

Unexpectedly, descendants from that family managed to find their way here based on a letter.

The letter was written by Hordy Young, confirmed by the head of the village to indeed be his handwriting.

The girl they brought back this time actually had no relation to Hordy Young. In a melodramatic twist, the family that adopted Hordy Young originally had the Lynch surname. Among several family members were three older sisters and a son. Hordy Young was supposed to be the fourth, with a younger brother as the youngest.

Hordy Young had a childhood sweetheart, who was also his fiancée, but regrettably, after he went to war, something happened that led the family to force his fiancée on his younger brother. His fiancée, woman of strong character, unfortunately became pregnant, gave birth to a daughter, and unable to come to terms with it, hanged herself.

Hordy Young received this devastating news when he returned home during the war, which is why he completely severed ties with the Lynch Family.

It’s not surprising, given his character, that he didn’t owe anything to the Lynch Family.

The daughter, however, had a difficult life; the Lynch Family did not treat this offspring well, so her mother’s family took the child back because they had lost their only daughter.

As the child grew up herself, she was decent and hardworking and married quickly, having a daughter soon after.

By this time, the entire country was beginning to undergo qualitative development. The granddaughter from outside the Lynch Family had her head turned by the glittering world, eloped with a rich man, and when she returned, she left behind an illegitimate child.

This was the child Ellen Young now saw in front of her.

Which meant that, technically, she could be considered Ellen Young’s niece...

By now, due to misfortune, most of the Lynch Family had died off, leaving no descendents.

On the girl’s mother’s side, only an uncle and his wife remained. The couple in front of her was indeed the niece and nephew by marriage of Hordy Young’s once fiancée who had committed suicide. Their family also had no one willing to take the little girl in. Coincidentally, they possessed the letter Hordy Young had sent back in the day. After much deliberation, they sought her out, intending to return the child to her family’s care.

After all, Hordy Young was reckoned to be part of the Lynch Family, and the child was a descendant of the Lynch Family—she belonged to them.

They assumed that Hordy Young was still alive, or even if not, that he must have had descendents, considering that back in their village, Hordy Young was famously handsome.

He was popular and competent, definitely having a family of his own here.
