Chapter 972 Yu Ziheng
Chapter 972 Yu Ziheng
Jiang Wenming observed Da Bai's every move with great interest. At first, it seemed to dislike the four puppies.
But as time went on, they gradually accepted them and began to happily take them to the river to cause trouble and catch fish and shrimp. They thoroughly enjoyed this "hunting" game.
In this little world, only that river was a place where the master specially allowed Big White to hunt.
Other areas, such as the places on the opposite bank of the river where wild boars, rabbits, and pheasants are kept, are absolutely forbidden zones. Da Bai was explicitly told not to go near them.
Not only that, the domestic chickens, ducks, geese, cows, sheep, pigs, and even horses here are all afraid of Big White and keep their distance from it, for fear of being scared to death by this behemoth.
At first, Big White might feel a little lonely, as the surrounding animals keep their distance from him.
However, as time went by, it gradually got used to this solitary life.
Just then, four fearless puppies wandered into its world.
At first, Big White was a little uncomfortable with these little guys, but soon it found that they were not afraid of it, but were full of curiosity and friendliness towards it.
This made Big White incredibly excited; it finally had a playmate to play with!
"Xiaoyun, bring your uncle out quickly!" Suddenly, Jiang Jiyun heard her brother's voice urging them to go out.
She quickly took Jiang Wenming's hand and hurried back to the room.
The two walked out of the room and stood in the main hall. Their eyes fell on the dirty person in the courtyard, with another injured man beside her.
Jiang Wenming walked out of the door with a displeased expression. Looking at the injured man in front of him, he couldn't help but ask, "Comrade Tang, what happened to you?"
In less than a day, how could this person be so badly injured, looking like a female ghost?
Could it be that she and Yu Juan went back to seek revenge but ended up getting themselves attacked instead?
Yu Ziheng stood there, his gaze fixed on Jiang Jiyuan. After a moment of eye contact, his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking: "Is your surname Jiang? Is your father named Jiang Wenshan?"
Jiang Jiyuan had already guessed Yu Ziheng's identity the moment he saw him.
It's said that nephews resemble their uncles, but Yu Ziheng's appearance does indeed bear a six or seven-point resemblance to Jiang Wenshan.
Seeing this, Jiang Jiyun also looked at Yu Ziheng curiously, then suddenly tugged at Jiang Wenming's hand and said with a grin, "Uncle, our family genes are really strong! Look at his face, it's like he stole my dad's!"
Jiang Jiyuan glanced at his younger sister with a hint of helplessness before turning to answer Yu Ziheng's question: "Yes, my father's name is indeed Jiang Wenshan."
Upon hearing this answer, Yu Ziheng became excited and quickly introduced himself: "My name is Yu Ziheng, and my mother's name is Jiang Wenli. She is your father Jiang Wenshan's older sister! So, I am your cousin!"
Jiang Jiyuan showed no excitement whatsoever. He nodded calmly and said, "I guessed it, but your mother probably didn't tell you about the situation between the two families."
Yu Ziheng looked at the person in front of him with a face full of suspicion, his mind filled with countless questions.
He knew almost nothing about his maternal grandfather's family. He had never seen anyone from his maternal grandfather's family since he could remember, which made him feel very unfamiliar with their existence.
When he was a child, whenever he asked his mother about his maternal grandfather's family, she would always silently shed tears. Those sorrowful tears were like an insurmountable chasm, separating him from the story of his maternal grandfather's family.
As he grew older, he assumed something had happened to his maternal grandfather's family and understood his mother's pain, so he stopped asking and buried his curiosity deep in his heart.
His sister also envied the children of the third wife who were loved by their maternal grandfather and uncle.
Every time her younger sister ran home crying, expressing her longing for care from her maternal grandparents, her mother could only tell them, with tears in her eyes, that her maternal grandparents had already passed away and that they no longer had maternal grandparents.
In the Yu family, the mother and her two children were like marginalized beings, with no sense of presence whatsoever.
However, his mother did everything she could to send him and his sister away to study, hoping they could change their fate through knowledge.
Their mother repeatedly reminded them not to get involved in the Yu family's property disputes and to stay away from those conflicts.
Just today, Yu Juan suddenly returned to the main house secretly, saying it was to take revenge.
After learning the news by chance, Yu Ziheng rushed to the rescue, but unfortunately, he could only barely save Yu Juan's friend, Comrade Tang.
When Comrade Tang told him that his relatives from his second wife's side might be able to save Yu Juan, Yu Ziheng felt an indescribable surge of excitement.
At that moment, he didn't even know he had such a relative.
It wasn't until his mother excitedly grabbed his hand and told him his uncle's name that he suddenly realized that the young man Comrade Tang was talking about might be his cousin.
Now that I see someone whose face looks very similar to mine, I'm sure it's my cousin. But what does he mean by talking about the situation between our two families?
Jiang Jiyuan sighed and said, "Your mother severed ties with my father. She did it herself in front of everyone in the Yu family. My father wasn't married at the time."
Jiang Jiyuan said softly, "After my father lost his sister who was his only family, he left with the villagers to work elsewhere, so the two families haven't had any contact since."
Yu Ziheng stared at Jiang Jiyuan with his mouth slightly open. He didn't know what had happened, but he knew that his mother missed her hometown very much.
Seeing the coldness in the other person's eyes, Yu Ziheng whispered, "Could there be some misunderstanding?"
Jiang Jiyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know. This is a grudge from their previous generation. So when we found out you were here and that you were doing well, we didn't want to disturb your lives."
Seeing that everyone was indifferent to Yu Juan's condition, Tang Danqing became increasingly anxious and couldn't help but ask loudly, "Aren't you all worried about Yu Juan's condition?"
Jiang Jiyun's gaze slowly fell on Tang Danqing, who was sitting on the ground. She said expressionlessly, "How long did it take you to get here from the Yu family?"
Yu Ziheng quickly glanced at his watch and replied, "I drove her here; it took about two hours."
A look of surprise appeared on Jiang Jiyun's face. Her gaze fell on Tang Danqing again, as if she were re-examining the person.
Then, she said slowly, "You guys are pretty fast! But have you considered that if Yu Juan is really in a life-or-death situation right now, even if we rush over to save her immediately, will it be in time?"
Tang Danqing's face turned deathly pale instantly. She had clearly not considered all of this and was now frightened by Jiang Jiyun's words.
Jiang Jiyun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and she continued, "If we had waited for her to come and save her, she would probably have died eight hundred times over!"
