Could it be that she asked something wrong and broke Grandma's heart?

But the woman in the photo looked too similar to her, and Aunt Rong seemed to have leaked her mouth just now, so she had to feel very strange.

Although the memory shows that her mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, why is the attitude of Grandma and Aunt Rong so unnatural?

It's as if mom wasn't dead at all.

This bold idea flashed through her mind, and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart.

If Mom doesn't die, it means that she can see Mom again and have a complete home.

The thought of this made her heart beat faster in an instant.

She called Aunt Rong: "Aunt Rong, can you tell me who this woman is in the photo?"

An unnatural expression flashed on Aunt Rong's face, and she wiped her hand on her apron and said, "Miss Yoyou, you must be very hungry all the way here, I'll go and prepare something to eat for you." ”

Lu Youyou took her hand and said, "Aunt Rong, I'm not hungry, tell me, who is this woman?"

Aunt Rong's face was embarrassed, and Lu Youyou said again: "Aunt Rong, this matter is very important to me, you tell me, is she my mother?"

Aunt Rong's face suddenly changed, and she said, "I don't know, I don't know anything, don't ask me!"

With that, she struggled and ran away.

Lu Youyou wanted to chase after her, but Ling Zhaoting grabbed her and said, "Forget it, Lu Youyou, look at it like this, what are they hidden from it." ”

"Ling Zhaoting, do you think the woman in the photo looks like me?"

"Like, very like, if you want to say that she is your mother, I fully believe it. ”

"That's right, Ling Zhaoting, I think so too. But why didn't Grandma and Aunt Rong say a word about the woman in the photo? Could it be that there is something hidden in the middle?"

Ling Zhaoting's dark eyes narrowed: "Lu Youyou, since we are here to visit our family, it is better to stay here for a few more days." ”

Lu Youyou understood what he meant, nodded and said, "Ling Zhaoting, I think so too, there should be many relatives at home, we must be able to find out something." ”

"Since they don't want to say it, there must be something hidden, so don't ask any more questions. ”

Lu Youyou thought for a while: "But I'm really unwilling, if my mother is really alive, why don't they tell me? I must find out the truth of the matter!"

Seeing that she insisted, Ling Zhaoting didn't say anything more.

Grandma closed the door, Aunt Rong went to the kitchen to work, and Lu Youyou sat in the empty house for a while, really bored.

She got up, looked around, and saw that there was no useful information other than the woman in the photograph with features that resembled hers.

She turned and walked out.

Ling Zhaoting grabbed her, and Lu Youyou said: "Don't worry, I'm not going to find Aunt Rong, I want to go to the yard to have a look, when I came in just now, I saw some flowers and plants, some of which seem to be able to be used in medicine." ”

Although she studied Western medicine, she also knows a little about Chinese medicine, and her memory seems to show that her mother's family is a medical family, so it should be useful.

When she came to the flowerbed, she saw that there were not only flowers planted in the flowerbed, but also some things that could be used in medicine, and there should be no difference from what she remembered.

"Wang, Wang!" The barking of a puppy next to him caught Lu Youyou's attention.

It was a small yellow puppy with dark eyes, staring at her all the time and wagging its tail at her.

Lu Youyou suddenly felt very kind, squatted beside it, and said, "Hello, do you know me?"

The puppy barked twice, and Lu Youyou smiled: "You should know my face, right?"

Her gaze fell on the kennel next to her.

When she first entered the door, Aunt Rong said that this was a kennel built by her mother for the puppy, and it looked very new.

If it is true, as Aunt Rong said, her mother died when she was born, then how could there be such a new kennel?

In particular, Grandma and Aunt Rong don't seem to be willing to mention this matter more, but this proves more and more that there is something hidden in this matter.

"Did you find anything?"

A deep voice sounded from behind him, and Lu Youyou shook her head.

"Ling Zhaoting, who do you think we should look for?"

"What do you mean?"

"Grandma and Aunt Rong obviously don't want to talk about it, and I don't seem to have any close contact with the relatives at home. ”

Ling Zhaoting lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "It's better to be like this, tomorrow I will go back to other relatives' houses with you in the name of notifying the wedding, and we will ask one by one, maybe we can ask something." ”

Lu Youyou thought about it, and so far it seemed that there was only this way, and said, "Okay, I'll talk to grandma in a while." ”

At dinner, Grandma did not come out, and according to Aunt Rong, the old man did not eat at night.

Lu Youyou was a little worried about her body, but she didn't ask too much.

Aunt Rong brought the food and withdrew, because she said that she was a servant and could not eat at the table with the master.

The heroine stayed, and she didn't look back.

The obvious evasive attitude of the two of them made Lu Youyou's curiosity even heavier.

After eating in a hurry, Lu Youyou went to Aunt Rong to explain the situation.

Aunt Rong smiled: "Miss Yoyou, you haven't been back for many years, and you may not know the situation at home." In the past, when the family was prosperous, it was full of people, but now there are only the old lady and me, the servant, in the house, and there are fewer people who come and go. ”

"But when I get married, they still have to attend, right?"

Are these people all cut off from the world?

Aunt Rong sighed: "I don't know their current attitude, but some relatives haven't seen each other for many years, if you go rashly, in case they say anything unpleasant......"

"It's okay Aunt Rong, you tell me their current addresses, and I'll ask them one by one. ”

Aunt Rong saw that she insisted, so she turned around and took a pen and paper to write down the address and handed it to her.

"There are only one of your cousins who have close contacts in the family, and the others are distant relatives, so it doesn't matter if you go there or not. ”

Lu Youyou glanced at the note and said, "Okay, thank you, Aunt Rong, I'll go and inform them." ”

She was a little uneasy, and glanced at the room where her grandmother was.

"Grandma, she doesn't eat at night, is it really okay?

"The old lady has always been like this, usually she doesn't like to be disturbed, so she always eats and sleeps alone, I am in another room, if you have anything in the middle of the night, you can come and call me. ”

Lu Youyou nodded, and Aunt Rong left.

Entering the room arranged by Aunt Rong, Lu Youyou looked around and sat down on the bed.

This is a carved wooden bed, which looks a little old, but you can vaguely distinguish that the carving on the bed is very exquisite, as if it was made by a famous artist.

I vaguely remember that my grandmother's house used to be very glorious, but I don't know why, but now only my grandmother lives alone.

Is it really as Aunt Rong said, the family has lost power, so those people don't come and go?

If that's really the case, it's really snobbish.

"Lu Youyou, what are you thinking?"

Lu Youyou pointed to the piece of paper given by Aunt Rong: "I haven't seen these people for a long time, and I don't know what to call them when I meet, won't it be embarrassing?"

"It's okay, Lu Youyou, since it is the address given by Aunt Rong, they must all be relatives at home, and before we get married, we will visit them somewhat. If you want to know more about your mother, then we will start at your uncle's house. ”

Lu Youyou glanced at the address, as if she vaguely remembered something.

"Ling Zhaoting, I remember that when I was young, I used to play in this area, and my uncle's house didn't seem to be far from here, and it was ......"

And it seems to be very close to Xiao Yuming's house.

Lu Youyou didn't say this, so she made an excuse and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Ling Zhaoting walked towards his uncle's house with gifts and Lu Youyou.

Sure enough, as soon as I turned into another alley, I saw a lot of white cloth hanging in front of the door, and it seemed that someone had died.

She didn't mean to offend, and was about to turn around and leave, when she saw Xiao Yuming coming out of it.

"Lu Youyou, why are you here?"

Lu Youyou was stunned: "Why are you here?"

"Lu Youyou, I didn't expect you to come back for so long, but you can still remember where our house is. ”

Lu Youyou was a little embarrassed and glanced at Ling Zhaoting.

Ling Zhaoting's expression was still displeased, but he didn't say anything.

"We just happened to pass by, and I came to find my uncle. ”

"Your uncle's house is there. ”

Xiao Yuming pointed to the location diagonally opposite the door of his house: "When you were a child, you often came to your uncle's house to play, and you often came to play with me, have you forgotten?"

Lu Youyou hurriedly changed the topic: "Got it, thank you." By the way, life and death are fate, and you shouldn't be too sad. ”

"Lu Youyou, I'm not so fragile yet, the one who passed away was just a distant relative of our family, and I don't have any feelings for her, but you, who came to your uncle early in the morning, don't you know?"

"Know what?"

"Your uncle runs a bar that is always open until seven or eight o'clock in the morning, and when you come here, he obviously hasn't finished work yet. ”

Lu Youyou glanced at the door of her uncle's house, and sure enough, the door was closed, and it didn't look like someone was at home.

She glanced at Ling Zhaoting: "Maybe we're early." ”

"It's okay, just wait here. ”

"Lu Youyou, otherwise you can go to my house and wait. ”

"Not necessarily. Ling Zhaoting refused coldly, and pulled Lu Youyou to the intersection of the alley.

Xiao Yuming didn't say anything more, and turned around to get busy with himself.

After a while, a car stopped at the intersection of alleys.

There was a person in the car, and Lu Youyou felt very kind at first glance, this must be her uncle.

She didn't speak directly, and it wasn't until the man walked to the door of her uncle's house that Lu Youyou greeted her: "Uncle, don't you know me?"

"You?" the uncle looked at her, a little strange.

"I'm Uncle Lu Youyou, I went to see my grandmother yesterday, and it was Aunt Rong who gave me this address and asked me to come to you. ”

Uncle stared at Lu Youyou's face for a while, thought about it again, and said, "Since Aunt Rong asked you to come, then you can come in." ”

Lu Youyou smiled and hurriedly pulled Ling Zhaoting and walked in together.

After entering the door, there is a huge courtyard, which is roughly the same layout as grandma's house.

After entering the room, my uncle personally made two cups of tea for them and said, "Lu Youyou, haven't you been back for many years? Why did you suddenly think about coming back to see your grandmother, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, it's just that I'm getting married, so I'll come to the house to inform me of the news. Uncle, I hope you and Grandma can be here then. ”

"I'm afraid I won't have time to go, is your dad still alive?"

His tone was very displeased, and Lu Youyou was stunned for a moment.

Although she and her uncle haven't seen each other for a long time, there is a distant relationship, and when her uncle comes up, he says such disrespectful words, does he hate his father very much?

She thought for a while and said, "My dad opened a company, and he has been busy lately, so he doesn't have time to come back." ”

"I already knew that he was that virtuous, Lu Youyou, you are like your father, you are rich and rich, and you don't care about the life or death of others. ”
