Chapter 96 Li Ying's Interpretation
Lin Yuxi put down her chopsticks and said with some emotion: "Really, my brother was taken away when he was just born. My grandmother was worried about what the family would say about him, so she kept it a secret for all these years and searched for him privately, but to no avail. She only told him before she died."
Zeng Ling felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this, but considering that the person was Lin Yuxi's grandmother, she didn't say anything unpleasant. She just said, "Fortunately, she has been found now, and your family can be reunited!"
Lin Yuxi knew what she was thinking by looking at her expression, but didn't say anything.
Her grandmother was indeed a thoughtful person. In her early years, she had always dreamed of becoming someone's concubine. Later, when New China was founded, her dream was shattered. She married her grandfather and became somewhat depressed.
She gives people the impression that she is always unhappy. Now she has found such a high-sounding excuse. I guess even if the old lady knows about it, she won’t care!
Li Ying was a straightforward person. After hearing what Lin Yuxi said, she couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Xiaoxi, your grandma was wrong in this matter. No matter how afraid she was of being talked about, she couldn't have kept such a big thing secret. If the child was taken away, she should have called the police immediately and asked them to help find him. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been no news for so many years."
She took a sip of soup and continued, "Although you have found him now, you missed him for so many years. The relationship between you and your brother has been affected. This kind of thing cannot be delayed and must be resolved as soon as possible."
Li Ying turned to Zeng Ling and Lin Yuxi and said earnestly: "You guys, if you encounter any problems in the future, remember to find the police first. Don't feel embarrassed or afraid of trouble. The police serve the people, and it is only natural for them to help us solve problems."
She sighed, shook her head and said, "Although the conditions were not as good as they are now more than a decade ago, the police were still trustworthy. Our grandmothers' generation may have some old-fashioned ideas, thinking that family disgrace should not be made public, but times are different now. We must learn to use legal weapons to protect ourselves."
After saying that, Li Ying took another bite of food and sighed as she ate: "Fortunately, I have found it now, otherwise my life would have passed by in such a muddle, how sad it would be!"
"You guys really need to remember, if you have any problems, call the police, don't keep it to yourself, or you'll end up delaying important matters. Got it?"
Lin Yuxi and Zeng Ling listened to Li Ying's continuous sighs and nodded, indicating that they understood. This sister has a really strong aura, and I don't know what kind of person she will find in the future!
They chatted about other things and finished their meal quickly. Li Ying was from the logistics department and was not with the other two. He said goodbye and left quickly.
Lin Yuxi and Zeng Ling chatted as they walked, "Xiaoling, what does Sister Li Ying do at home? Why does it feel a little different?"
"You can sense it too. Yingzi's father is a soldier. The children in the family have been training since they were young. I heard that her father wanted to send Yingzi to the army, but her mother refused to let her go!"
Lin Yuxi nodded suddenly. No wonder she always felt that Yingzi had a military temperament. "I see. However, Sister Li Ying's personality is quite straightforward."
"Yes, that's why we all like to make friends with her." Zeng Ling agreed, "By the way, we still have to continue working in the afternoon. Do you want to take a break now?"
"No, I'm not tired." Lin Yuxi shook her head, "Let's finish early and get off work early!"
Zeng Ling gave her an appreciative look and said, "Well, let's go back to the studio first. This afternoon might be busy, as there are a lot of fabrics to check."
The two returned to the studio and continued to work hard. Lin Yuxi carefully checked each piece of cloth, not missing any tiny flaws.
Busy time always passes quickly. In the evening, Lin Yuxi finished her work for the day and stretched her body to stretch her muscles.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoxi." Zeng Ling came over and handed her a bottle of water. "You did a great job today!"
Lin Yuxi took the water with a smile, "Thank you, Xiaoling. With your help, I was able to adapt so quickly."
"Hehe, we are good sisters!" Zeng Ling hugged Lin Yuxi's shoulders affectionately, "It's time to get off work, let's go home together."
"Okay." Lin Yuxi packed up her things and walked out of the factory with Zeng Ling. As the sun set, the orange afterglow shone on them, illuminating their youthful faces.
……
"Xiaoxi is back? Are you adapting well today?" Sun Li is an accountant in the factory. She gets off work early. When she saw her daughter come back, she asked with concern.
"Not bad!" Lin Yuxi put down the bag in her hand, sat on the chair, and talked to her mother about her experience today.
"And the kid from the Zeng family? That's good! You've gotten along well since you were young! It's a good fit for you to work together now!" After saying this, Sun Li talked about another thing.
"Xiaoxi, now it's just us, mother and daughter. I'll only say this once and won't mention it again." The excuse her daughter made at the beginning fooled everyone, but the three members of their family knew what was going on.
She had been wanting to talk to her daughter these days, but with her son around, it was inconvenient to say some things. Now that she had the chance, she also spoke to her daughter from the bottom of her heart, hoping to comfort her daughter.
As soon as Lin Yuxi saw this posture, she knew what her stepmother wanted to say. It was not like she was just a teenager and was competing with someone for her parents' love.
I smiled helplessly and said, "Mom, I am your and Dad's daughter. I have always been, I am now, and I will be in the future! You don't have to worry that I will think too much!"
"Mom knows, but I still have to tell you these things. Otherwise, I will always feel like there are things on my mind that I haven't dealt with, and I won't be able to sleep at night!"
Sun Li started laughing as she spoke, "My dear, mom has been taking care of you since you were a little kid, and I never thought that you were not my child!"
"To be honest, I was stunned when I found out. If your family was still decent, even if I couldn't bear to let you go, I wouldn't stop you from keeping in touch. At most, the two children will have two families in the future! Let's visit each other more often!"
"But your brother showed up at our house in that state. How could your father and I bear to leave you there? What's the difference between you showing up in that state in a family like that and sending you into a tiger's mouth?"
"Originally, your father and I had planned that we would get you all back, even if it meant bleeding! I didn't expect you to be so smart and find an excuse first!" Sun Li laughed again as she spoke. It was obvious that her daughter's cleverness made her very happy.
"Mom, have you ever thought about actually sending them in?"
"Of course I have thought about it, but they have raised your brother for so many years after all! Mom doesn't want your brother to be criticized in the future!"
Besides, those people are your biological parents, my daughter, mom and dad don’t want you to feel unhappy!
