"Can I ask the specific reason?"

"It's probably because of suspicion. I suspect that our ancestors left something good for Shen Mingyi and Shen Changshou. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense... Shen Ankang's sister was exchanged for Shen Ankang, so she gave birth to a daughter. She wanted to have a daughter-in-law. The child was having sex with her husband. I remember that they recruited the son of Godfather Shen Changshou. When this happened, everyone in our family thought. I don't understand what's going on. In terms of seniority, it's not suitable, very inappropriate. Although the godfather has more than one son in his family, it's a bit strange to have his son adoptive. My son was adopted as soon as he was born. Our family was invited to have a drink, and we thought about asking what was going on, but they didn’t explain it clearly, and they were talking about fortune telling and so on... My grandma’s idea was that they were asked. I got impatient and made excuses. There might be fortune telling, but both the Xiao family and the Guan family agreed that it must have been given by Shen Ankang. The things left by their ancestors to Shen Mingyi and Shen Changshou must have fallen into Shen Ankang's hands. in."

"Is this just speculation?"

"They firmly believe it. My grandfather and the others don't talk about it very much. Is this just a chat between women's families, as an outsider... I mean my thoughts as a daughter-in-law, or is it true, I'm not sure. In that era, If you really want to have any rights or inheritance, it has nothing to do with your daughter-in-law or daughter. They may not have the opportunity to know the secrets of a family. It is a bit exaggerated to say that the family is... The sisters who first declared Xiu and Mingyi were married after they got married. The contact with the family is cut off, and the status is even lower..."

"Yeah. After Shen Ankang died, the other two families wanted to recognize their children as their ancestors. Is that right?"

"There is such a thing. At that time, our family had less contact with their family. The main reason was that Shen Ankang's wives did not agree to return Xiao Ying back. They were just daughters-in-law. After their men died, they were regarded as that family. There are only a few members, but to the outside world... Shen Ankang's sister also wants Xiao Ying to go back. They have no choice but to invite several elderly people from our family. But what happened... My grandma told me about this matter. There must be something weird. They called people from our family to support the situation and provide justice, but there was a quarrel between the two parties. Some of the things our family said could not be understood, and they were not willing to explain...it was probably the original marriage, adoption, and application. Ankang has offered benefits and made an agreement. It is reasonable for them to let Xiao Ying recognize his ancestor and return to the clan, but Shen Ankang's wives do not agree. "

"You don't know what their conditions are?"

"Well, I don't know. My grandma and the others are just suspicious. Ha...my grandma even scolded my grandpa for this. She felt that he had hidden things and treated people as relatives foolishly. He didn't get any benefits at all and gave them all to others. ”

"I understand. So, your family also received New Year's cards from Xiao Ying? Are you sure that Xiao Ying who sent the cards is your relative?"

"My mother thought so. She was very sure. When I received the card... I remember it was my father who took the card from the mailbox. He didn't know the person and asked my mother, and he asked me. My mother thought about it. After a while, I remembered that Xiao Ying was actually Xiao Ying. My grandparents called him a nickname, Xiao Wu or Ah Wu, but he had a one-character name. Win', it's something else...the pronunciation is somewhat similar...Sorry, I really can't remember."

"It doesn't matter. Your mother is very sure of his identity, but your mother's brother doesn't seem so sure?"

"That's right. My uncles and uncles... It's not that they are bad, it's just that they may not know these things. My grandma and great-grandmother won't tell them too many such things. My grandpa and the others are not willing to listen, let alone I don’t want the younger generation to know. The main reason is that they don’t treat my mother harshly, but they still think that boys should take on more important responsibilities in the family and work hard. For girls, it doesn’t matter if their mother or grandmother does some housework and talks about the family’s shortcomings.”

"Yeah. What do your elders think of Xiao Ying himself?"

"It's pitiful...it's a bit complicated. Considering the later recognition of their ancestors, they think...Xiao Ying might have been in his teens or 20s at the time? He was admitted to college. They thought he was a good boy, but Shen Ankang should be in the end I gave him an important inheritance. He should have gotten the most important thing in our family. From this perspective, our family is at most a rich man with some savings, and the connections and connections he has are in that way. It’s impossible to keep it going. The main reason is that there is no one to maintain it. Of course, this is my opinion. Although no one in our family has been affected by the war, we have not benefited from it, and it is impossible to maintain it. Relationship. Our elders definitely didn’t get such instructions and didn’t know those people. The men at Shen Mingyi’s side are short-lived and in poor health, so they have been struggling for a long time.”

"Well, I can understand your idea."

"When it comes to relics... antiques and the like, it's understandable. It's possible that some old objects from the past were left behind and passed on to Xiao Ying. The matter of recognizing his ancestors and returning to the clan should also worry Xiao Ying. Normal people would be worried about why their biological parents would be willing to send him away and then take him back after he dies. They would also suspect that they have other agendas, not for that person, but for him. What I got. He must be good-looking, with a good temper, and very polite. My grandma and the others had a very good impression of him, and they felt sorry for the child. He must have been grateful to us afterward. Several companies send New Year's cards, probably because of this kind of kindness... It can't be said to be kindness... There may also be envy... His family is in a state of fragmentation, while ours is a loving father and a filial son..."

"I understand. Have you ever sent anything back to Xiao Ying?"

"My mother sent New Year's cards. She sent them in the first two years. Later, I saw that the addresses of the New Year's cards he sent every year were different, and they were all from different countries. I suspected that he always traveled during the New Year, so she stopped sending them. This point... In fact, my mother has also said that he is so cool and unrestrained, maybe it is because of what he got from his adoption to Shen Ankang. "

"Well. The suspicion of your family elders has never been confirmed, right? There are no clues?"

"No."

"In addition to New Year's cards, are there any other contacts?"

"there is none left."

"Ok, thank you."
