Chapter 384: The Inside Story of the Year
A few days after Aunt Zhou Hao took Aunt Zhou away, Chen Xin received a call from Mr. Lin.
She didn't react at the time, it was really because Mr. Lin had met her once, and she hadn't talked much, and she didn't talk exactly about the relationship with Chen Xin's parents at that time, so she suddenly called and said that she wanted to meet and talk to her, and Chen Xin had an indescribable feeling.
It's still the same hotel, it's still Mr. Lin and Ms. Xing, this time there is no Zhou Hao, and no one speaks for a while after they order a drink.
"After the last time I separated from you, my husband went back to check the past, and finally determined that your mother was most likely my husband's sister. ”
Chen Xin narrowed her eyes, didn't say anything, and her face didn't change for a moment.
On the other side, Mr. Lin and his wife glanced at each other helplessly, and sighed in their hearts. I'm afraid that someone suddenly popped up with an inexplicable relative, and I am afraid that it will not be immediately acceptable, although they have passed a little bit of tone before, but at that time even they themselves are not sure, and everyone did not think deeply.
"When I went back this time, my father-in-law recalled the place where I met your grandmother back then, and then we went to check, saying that it was a few years after my father-in-law left, and your grandmother also left, and she was still taking a child with her when she left. Although there is no specific record of the migration of household registration, judging from the time, place, and names of people, as well as several special places that my father-in-law recalled, there should be no mistake. ”
Although she was a little speechless, Ms. Xing still stubbornly continued: "We came to you this time to ask you to agree to do a DNA test. ”
"There's no need. Chen Xin refused, "No matter what happened back then, and it doesn't matter if my mother has something to do with your family, she has gone, and there is no need to trace back to the source." I'm doing well now, I have a family and children, and I don't want or need any relatives. I'm sure you think so, too. ”
Looking at Mr. Lin's style, the conditions in his family will not be too bad. As for saying that grandma and grandfather are separated, it is just a fig leaf for themselves. Chen Xin didn't even need to ask carefully to know why the two elders were separated. And they have been separated for so many decades, and when they suddenly come to look for it, they just feel that they are going to die and want to ask for peace of mind. Last time, she wanted to say that it was best for them not to disturb each other, to maintain the impression of being friendly to each other, and it would be enough to nod and say hello when they met in the future.
Ms. Xing glanced at her husband, who was hanging his head, and wanted to smile bitterly. She knows her mother-in-law's temperament too well, and she has been guarding against it all her life, if it weren't for the fact that people go before the old man, this scene may not have happened at all. The little girl said well, the worst time has passed, and now everyone is doing well, why do you have to break this peace.
The old man felt guilty and wanted to make up for it, and it depended on whether people were willing to give him this opportunity.
Chen Xin glanced at the two people opposite, and said lightly: "Actually, even if I agree, it's useless, in addition to the paternity test, the DNA test is only the parentage test, but this kind of generational identification is identified through the 'Y chromosome', I don't have it." ”
Chen Xin said very realistically, the current DNA identification can only be done for paternal or maternal blood identification, not between maternal grandfather and granddaughter. Chen Xin's grandmother and mother have passed away a long time ago, so it is naturally impossible to do any identification.
"Mr. Lin, Ms. Xing, I understand your wishes and regrets for the sake of your elders, but I'm sorry, I can't help you. ”
Chen Xin was about to leave after speaking, but Mr. Lin suddenly stood up and stopped her.
"I'm sorry, I know I'm presumptuous in asking, but can you please come with me, even if it's an impostor, can you help me comfort my old father? His time is running out, I, I don't want him to leave with regrets. ”
Mr. Lin probably also knew that his requirements were too strong and difficult, so his face turned red when he spoke, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of pleading.
Chen Xin didn't expect that after only a few months of not seeing him, Mr. Lin's attitude had changed so much. Although he vaguely mentioned this last time, Mr. Lin didn't show such a low voice, why did it suddenly change?
"Chen Xin, can you sit down and listen to me a few more words? If you still want to leave after you finish speaking, I won't stop you. ”
"Wife, you ......"
Mr. Lin pursed his lips and frowned, looking at Ms. Xing. The latter took him by the hand and asked him to sit down, with a reassuring look in his eyes.
"I think you have a little bit of your own thoughts, but I would like to say that the truth may not be what you think. ”
Chen Xin finally became a little more curious, and quietly waited for Ms. Xing's explanation.
It's not complicated, and there's nothing sinister about human nature. If you have to say a word, it can only be created to make people.
At that time, the living conditions were not good, Mr. Lin's father and Chen Xin's grandmother were neighbors, and the two grew up together, but Mr. Lin's grandmother was from a good background, so in the last few years, in order to avoid chaos, Mr. Lin's father's family temporarily decided to leave his hometown and go to his grandmother's brother.
At that time, no one knew that the two children had fallen in love with each other, and the night before Mr. Lin's father left, Chen Xin's grandmother boldly found Mr. Lin's father and made an oath. After that, it was a matter of course. But the two thought that there would be a difference of two or three years at most, and when this period passed, Mr. Lin's father would come back to marry her.
However, the situation changed again and again, and Mr. Lin's father went further and further away with his family, and in the end, it was difficult to turn back. At that time, it was impossible for the bureau to even deliver the letter to the other party, so the news was cut off.
Later, I don't know what happened, Mr. Lin's father learned from the villagers that Chen Xin's grandmother had married and had children, and she had left her hometown. So in anger, he married a wife and had children, and he no longer thought about the lover who swore by the mountains and seas.
"A few years ago, by chance, my father learned the truth from a fellow countryman, it turned out that your grandmother was not married at all, but had a child out of wedlock, and then couldn't live in her hometown, so she left with the child. My father came to Shanghai more than ten years ago because my mother was from there. After hearing the news of your grandmother, my father wanted to find someone, but at that time my mother was already sick, and it was decades of conjugal love, and my father could not leave my mother alone, so it was delayed and delayed, and it was not until after my mother's death that my father told us about it. ”
Chen Xin also admitted that such things were too common in those years, but she still didn't want to accept this relative.
It's not that she is ruthless and indifferent, she really has no emotional foundation, and she can't do it if she wants to cry bitterly for her grandmother and mother to forgive and accept each other.
