Chapter 79: He Is Very Good

Chapter 79: He Is Very Good

Jiang Yu's question made Liu Junmei feel very embarrassed.

She had originally only guessed in her heart and at most said a few words to He Youfu.

"What am I supposed to say about this... Jiang Yu, your aunt was just guessing, speaking off the cuff, it's not to be taken seriously." Liu Junmei slapped her own mouth twice.

"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."

Jiang Yu's face was solemn. "Then don't you think Jiang Hao looks a lot like my aunt?"

She had actually been standing at the door for quite some time, and only after hearing Liu Junmei's words did she begin to think divergently.

Jiang Ye and Jiang Hao are not only of the same age, but they were born one after the other.

Wang Meili took the initiative, followed closely by Yang Cuilan.

The child born to Wang Meili was raised solely by Ye Laotai; where would Yang Cuilan have the opportunity to swap the two children?

Liu Junmei knew it, she had suspected it a long time ago.

This is just something one dares to keep to oneself, not daring to speak out, isn't it?

She fears causing trouble.

"Jiang Yu, just pretend you haven't heard these words. You're getting married soon, so don't worry about your mother's family's affairs." Liu Junmei advised.

Jiang Yu, with a composed expression, shook his head slowly.

If Jiang Ye were her own brother, she could not remain indifferent.

He Youfu glared at Liu Junmei and said unhappily, "I told you to shut up a long time ago. You are so careless with your mouth that you can't hide anything!"

He stood with his hands on his hips, pacing back and forth in the courtyard, sighing in dismay.

This time, there's really going to be trouble.

"Jiang Yu, there are some things we can tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone. You learned this from us."

Jiang Yu's expression was grave, and he nodded solemnly.

"Uncle Youfu, I promise you that if I reveal your secrets, I will never..."

"Alright, alright, it's not that serious. Your aunt and I just want to live a peaceful life and don't want to cause any trouble."

In particular, it involves the matter of fortune-tellers.

"Close the door, let's talk inside."

Jiang Yu quickly shut the door and followed them into the house.

It was Liu Junmei who discovered these things.

That year, a few days before Wang Meili gave birth, Old Mrs. Ye seemed particularly melancholy. When others asked her what she was worried about, she didn't say.

"Others didn't notice it, but I saw your grandmother interacting with Mrs. Zhang from Yunjiao Village."

Mrs. Zhang is a famous fortune teller in the area.

Later, amidst the turmoil of the times, she was even taken away for criticism.

Being childless and alone, Old Lady Zhang had nothing to fear.

After being criticized, they continued with their old trade, but did so furtively.

Liu Junmei sighed and said, "I was so curious at the time that I couldn't help but ask around. I found out that your grandmother actually went to see Mrs. Zhang for fortune-telling."

"Whose life is being calculated?" Jiang Yu asked.

Liu Junmei: "Considering the child in your mother's womb, she wants to know whether this child will be a boy or a girl."

Because Wang Meili gave birth to twins as her first child, but both were girls, Grandma Ye was very unhappy.

The second pregnancy came unexpectedly, and the signs were not very promising.

It's likely for this reason that Ye Laotai sought out old lady Zhang.

Old lady Zhang spun a tale, insisting that Wang Meili's child would surely be a boy, but alas, a celestial demon star, destined to bring misfortune to kin.

With him at home, the Jiang family is bound to have no peace.

Jiang Yu let out a cold smile and continued the conversation: "Just in time, my mother did give birth to a son. My grandmother would undoubtedly believe every word old lady Zhang says. Coincidentally, Yang Cuilan also had a son. She knew that if she took the child to be raised in the third household, with my grandmother there, the child would definitely not be treated poorly. Moreover, she and my mother have never gotten along. The two of them must have conspired and swapped the children?"

Liu Junmei shook her head. "I asked someone to find out about your grandmother and Mrs. Zhang. It's almost certain because after your mother gave birth to the child, she brought a lot of gifts to thank Mrs. Zhang. But the child swap is purely my own speculation because I have no evidence."

It just so happened that she was there on the day Yang Cuilan gave birth and even helped with the delivery.

After the child was born, she was the first to hold him, and at that time, she said that the child's eyes and nose were very much like Yang Cuilan's.

Yang Cuilan has squinty eyes and a bulbous nose, and so does the child.

Two days later, she delivered eggs to the door and held the child again, only to find that the child had peach blossom eyes and a very straight nose.

It should be acknowledged that, despite Wang Meili's flawed character, her appearance is truly exceptional, otherwise she wouldn't have caught Jiang Yonghua's eye, compelling him to insist on marrying her.

She was suspicious and only mentioned it to He Youfu.

He Youfu asked her to forget about it and pretend she knew nothing about it.

When she brought it up after so many years, she was in a dilemma because it was a very offensive thing and it would not please either side.

"Jiang Yu, now that you know about this, don't mention it to anyone. I told you this!" Liu Junmei was really afraid of getting involved in gossip.

Jiang Yu assured again and again: "Auntie, don't worry, I will say that I suspected it myself and then went to inquire."

When I came out of the captain's house, the moonlight was already high in the sky.

Jiang Yu exhaled slowly, feeling heavy in his heart.

She had loved her younger brother when she was a child, and she had also thought about protecting Jiang Hao.

Over time, she realized her status at home was far inferior to Jiang Hao's.

He is the son, without any effort required, simply due to his gender, he receives the love and affection of his parents and grandmother.

He doesn't need to work; there are provisions at home, and he is always the first to eat.

He can also bully his older sisters at will without being scolded by his parents.

But she could not resist; if she hurt her younger brother, she would be disciplined.

Jiang Hao is doing well at home, but what about Jiang Ye?

She had no doubt that Yang Cuilan must know Jiang Ye's true identity, otherwise she would not have beaten and scolded Jiang Ye at every turn.

That night, Jiang Yu's mind was full of thoughts and he tossed and turned in bed.

"Sister, can't you sleep? Is it because Brother Jiang Ye was beaten that you can't sleep?" Jiang Xin was also woken up.

Jiang Yu hummed in agreement, "What do you think of Brother Jiang Ye?"

Jiang Xin fell silent for a moment, then spoke: "It's pitiful."

She felt that Jiang Ye was even more pitiable than herself; at least Wang Meili and Jiang Yonghua rarely resorted to physical violence and never beat their child so brutally.

"He is very good," Jiang Xin added.

Jiang Yu turned around, "Why do you say that?"

"Before, Wang's dog stole my things, but Brother Jiang Ye protected me. My brother never protects me, and he even joins in bullying me."

Jiang Xin does not like Jiang Hao, not at all.

Jiang Yu patted her head and said no more.

"Go to bed."

After talking with Jiang Xin, she felt a little relieved.

She could completely ignore her parents' affairs and do as Liu Junmei said, since she was going to get married anyway.

But regarding Jiang Ye's matter, she not only has to take care of it, but also has to clear his name.

She's determined to take charge of this matter!

After thinking all this through, Jiang Yu fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, she was awakened by the sound of Jiang Ting's voice.

"What time is it? Why is she still sleeping?"

Wang Meili lightly scolded: "Keep your voice down, don't disturb your elder sister."

"Mom, you are too partial! I never slept in at home before. You would scold me if I slept one minute longer!"

Jiang Ting was jealous to the point of madness. Why was Jiang Yu better than her in every way?
