Chapter 297 Worship
"Just tell me the result."
"It is indeed the relationship between uncle and nephew."
After hearing the definitive answer, Song Anning glanced at Wang Qiuyue and Wang Sheng without leaving any trace, thinking to herself: If this were in a novel, these siblings would definitely be the protagonists, encountering an exceptional relative, being rescued, and then accidentally discovering their extraordinary life experience...
At the same time, she felt a little reluctant. Although Sister Qiuyue and her mother were gone, the Chen family would definitely take them back and let them live a life of luxury.
After two months of getting along, she already considered Wang Qiuyue and Wang Sheng her family. Thinking about how they would all live a good life in the future and how she could visit them in Linhai Town whenever she had time, she was happy for them from the bottom of her heart.
At this time, Chen Guanghui walked to Wang Qiuyue and Wang Sheng, picked up the small gold lock in her hand, and seemed to see his sister whom he had never met through the gold lock.
"Sister, I found you, I finally found you..."
He touched Wang Sheng's head, his eyes reddened, and he suddenly made a decision:
"Qiuyue, where is your mother buried? Can you take me to see it?"
Wang Qiuyue couldn't stop her tears. She nodded heavily and said with a sob, "I'll go prepare some incense and candles and some of Mother's favorite food. I'll take you up the mountain in a while."
After she finished speaking, she brought Wang Sheng to pay their respects to Chen Guanghui, which was the courtesy that the younger generation showed to the elders.
Seeing this, Chen Guanghui couldn't hold back any longer. The grown man burst into tears. Why were these two children in the master's house? As for the brother and sister who Wang Yuanshan had just mentioned being wronged, although he didn't know what happened here, he guessed that the two children must have suffered a lot to get to where they are today.
"I'll go with you. Master, I..."
Song An Ning knew that they had a lot to say. She had a good relationship with them, but after all, they were not related by blood. She would leave the rest of her time to them.
"Go ahead. There's no need to rush back. Let's talk together."
But Wang Qiuyue wiped away her tears, walked forward, took Song Anning's hand, and looked at her firmly: "Aning, come with me to see mother. I feel at ease with you by my side."
Wang Yuanshan and his wife were completely bewildered. Wasn't that man the one who delivered duck eggs to Aning? How was he involved with Qiuyue's mother? What a mess!
Song Dashan and Song Erhe, who were sitting nearby, said in unison, "Aning, you should come along. Burn some incense for Qiuyue's mother. After all, she's an elder."
"it is good."
Song Anning took Wang Qiuyue's hand and walked outside. Chen Guanghui followed them into the yard and looked back at the small yard with three adobe houses.
Did his sister live here for more than ten years? Does she still remember her childhood?
Just now, when he listened to Wang Yuanshan's story, his heart was filled with hatred for the Wang family. But the two elders of the Wang family were already gone. Although Wang Yuanshan knew about it, it had nothing to do with him after all. What else could he do?
After they left, Wang Yuanshan cautiously approached Song Erhe and asked, "Uncle Erhe, is that man from Qiuyue's family? How could it be such a coincidence? He came here to deliver duck eggs and became a relative?
"Is this a trap set by you? Are you going to sell Qiuyue to that man as a concubine?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? He saw that the two children looked like family members, so he took out Qiuyue's portrait and asked us.
The time and appearance match, that's why he came here. Wang Yuanshan, you should know that this Mr. Chen comes from a merchant family, rich and powerful, and can kill your family with just a flick of his finger.
In other words, if your parents are gone, you can be thankful that they didn't transfer their anger to you.
"Watch your mouth. Qiuyue and Ah Sheng were rescued by Ah Ning, so they are members of the Song family. You don't have to worry about them. Just stay home and don't have any bad thoughts."
After Song Erhe said this indignantly, he pulled his elder brother out. He knew that Wang Yuanshan was a bad boy and that he had said a few nice words to Qiuyue just now because of Aning's face. As soon as Aning left, he showed his true colors.
On the other side, several people got on a carriage and went to Taohua Village first to buy some paper money and incense and candles. Taohua Village makes a living from these jobs, and coffins and paper figures are placed in the courtyards of every household.
This was Chen Guanghui's first time in such a place, and he felt uneasy. In the carriage, Wang Sheng was already familiar with him and explained to him with a smile:
"Uncle, those paper figures are fake. Taohua Village makes them. My sister and I have come here twice to buy paper money for Mom. After seeing them for a long time, we are no longer afraid of them."
Chen Guanghui pinched Wang Sheng's nose and whispered in his ear, "You should call me uncle. We share the same blood."
Wang Sheng looked up at his elder sister, and when Wang Qiuyue nodded, he called her uncle. This made Chen Guanghui very happy, and he held Wang Sheng's hand tightly on the way back.
That means Wang Qiuyue has reached the age of marriage. If she was just a little kid, he would definitely hold her in his arms and not let go.
Wang Qiuyue was talking to Song An Ning about what happened in Taohua Village just now.
The news that Song Anning had brought back duck eggs from Linhai Town spread quickly. When they arrived at Taohua Village, a group of people came up to Song Anning and smiled at her, mentioning in both explicit and implicit ways that the duck eggs could be sold as usual. Song Anning didn't say anything and just laughed it off.
Chen Guanghui couldn't get a word in, he just stared at the two children quietly, his joy growing with each passing moment. These were his sister's children, his own nephew and niece.
His younger sister is not married yet, and this is his first time as an uncle. He really wants to give them the best things in the world.
When they got to the mountain with their things, it was a sunny afternoon and the woods were very quiet, without even the sound of birds singing.
There is a lonely grave mound halfway up the mountain. The surroundings are kept very clean without a single weed, which shows that Wang Qiuyue and Wang Sheng often come here.
"Uncle, my mother is right here. Wang Qingshan said my mother died in bad luck, so we are not allowed to enter the Wang family cemetery. She can only be buried here."
"Okay, that's a good thing. I won't go with them."
Chen Guanghui burst into tears. He had imagined countless times the happy scene of finding his elder sister and recognizing her.
But in front of me, there is only a handful of yellow earth...
He knelt before the grave, lit incense, burned paper money, and slowly said:
"Sister, I'm Xiaohui, my parents' third child.
You must have had a hard time these years, sister?
Ever since we could remember, the children in our family knew that one of our eldest sisters was lost at the age of four.
Your childhood toys are still in mom's room. They feel very guilty and miss you every day.
The family did not give up on my sister, but they were unable to find her earlier.
Now that we've found you, your brother plans to take you home, along with the two children. Your family will take good care of them."
After hearing what he said, Wang Qiuyue and Wang Sheng looked at each other, then turned to look at Song Anning beside them and shook their heads decisively.
Wang Sheng also whispered behind him: "Uncle, my sister and I are not going anywhere. We are staying in Banyue Village."
"Why? Are you afraid that your grandparents will treat you badly?
We feel so sorry for you, Aning knows that your family is doing very well."
Chen Guanghui was a little anxious. They had finally recognized each other, so why didn’t the two children go back with him?
Wang Qiuyue sniffed, took Song Anning's hand and whispered, "Aning, let's burn some incense for my mother."
"it is good."
Song Anning tidied up his clothes and knelt respectfully in front of the grave. He then listened to Wang Qiuyue say to Chen Guanghui:
"Uncle, once you've heard what Qiuyue wants to say to Mother, you'll understand..."
