After hearing this, the woman sighed continuously. She had heard that her husband had a younger sister, but she had never seen her.

She also secretly inquired about his sister, but everyone in the family was very secretive about the matter.

Every time she started a conversation, everyone would change the subject.

As time went by, she didn't dare to mention this matter anymore.

This time when her husband revisited the place, he was so moved that he told her about his past. Only then did she know the whole story.

I didn't expect this to be the case. No wonder they didn't want to mention Jiang Wan.

This incident seems like a misunderstanding, but isn’t it also an eternal pain in the hearts of each of them?

"On the day my sister got married, my parents came over specifically to ask me to see her off."

"It's just that I'm not escorting the bride openly. Instead, I'm asked to follow quietly and make sure my sister is doing well."

"I watched my sister get married with my own eyes, and I felt very sad when I saw her living in such a shabby little house."

"After my sister got married, I also came here quietly to find out some news about her."

"I was also very happy when I heard that she was pregnant, but then the baby was gone for some unknown reason."

"Later, when I saw her taking care of those ungrateful nephews and nieces, I secretly asked someone to persuade her, but she just wouldn't listen."

"I don't dare tell my parents about these things. I'm afraid they will be mad at me."

"Ever since my sister married Cheng Jinnian, she seems to have been cursed. No matter how hard the family tries, it's useless."

"Mom's health has not been very good since last year. As people age, they always like to reminisce about the past."

"Mom has regretted a lot over the years. She shouldn't have been so harsh on her sister before."

"My mother often said that if she hadn't been so strict with my sister and made her feel deprived of the warmth of family, she might not have been so determined to get married and never look back."

Jiang Zhuoran looked at the dilapidated house in front of him, and a trace of uneasiness flashed through his heart.

"It looks like no one lives in this house. I don't know what's going on."

"Why don't we ask the neighbors about the situation?"

Yu Jingshan felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the depressed expression on her husband's face.

Jiang Zhuoran nodded. This was the only way for now.

They found the house closest to Wei Mingxiang's home and knocked on the door.

The house also looked quiet, as if no one lived there.

Jiang Zhuoran knocked on the door several times but no one answered. When he was about to leave, he saw a man crawling out of the house.

Both of the man's legs were broken, and even for a simple action like opening the door, he had to crawl out without the help of crutches.

The moment the man opened the door, a foul odor came out of the room.

Only then did they realize that the door of the room was not locked.

The room was dark, and it seemed that there was no one else in it except this man.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The man was half-lying on the ground. He raised his head and looked at them coldly with a pair of terrifying and cold eyes.

Yu Jingshan had never seen such a terrifying man before, and she was so scared that she took two steps back.

She let out a small exclamation, but before she could say anything, she saw the man's eyes became even colder.

The man gritted his teeth, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Looking at him like this, how dare you continue to ask questions as they are a couple?

"Sorry, we knocked on the wrong door. We'll leave now."

As soon as Jiang Zhuoran saw the look in this man's eyes, he knew that he was definitely not a good person.

With such a person, it is impossible to even have a good communication with him, let alone ask him any questions.

Instead of continuing to explain to him, it’s better to just leave.

The couple had just turned to leave when they heard a loud bang behind them.

It turned out that the man was unhappy after being ignored by them, so he closed the door directly.

"Why was that man's leg broken? He looked so fierce, could he be sick?"

Yu Jingshan hugged her husband's arm and said with some concern.

"Don't worry about him. We don't have much to do with him anyway. We know that he has problems, so we can just not provoke him in the future."

After hearing what her husband said, Yu Jingshan nodded. She patted her chest and still felt a little dazed.

The two of them went to another house, and when Jiang Zhuoran arrived, he saw two aunts chatting at the door.

"Hello, Auntie. I want to ask you something. Is it convenient?"

Jiang Zhuoran had a smile on his face and he greeted everyone as soon as he walked over. He was tall and had fair skin, so he looked very likable.

"What's the matter? Tell me first."

The two aunts stopped talking and looked at Jiang Zhuoran with a little wariness.

"Comrade, you look so unfamiliar. You are not from our village, right? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"You suddenly came to our village and asked around. What's the meaning of this?"

"Yes, yes. Even if you want to inquire, you should introduce yourself first, right?"

Without waiting for Jiang Zhuoran to speak, the two aunts sang in unison and firmly seized the initiative.

"Hello, aunties. My name is Jiang Zhuoran, and I'm Jiang Wan's brother."

Jiang Zhuoran knew that if he didn't make things clear today, he probably wouldn't be able to find out any useful information.

He directly reported his identity and greeted the aunts enthusiastically.

"Jiang, Jiang Zhuoran? I haven't heard of him. Does Jiang Wan really have such a brother? Why haven't I heard my parents talk about him? Have you heard of him?"

"You are so well-informed and you haven't heard of it. I am even worse than you in this respect, so of course I haven't heard of it."

The two aunts looked at each other. Jiang Zhuoran looked at them and got straight to business.

"It's like this. Jiang Wan went to such lengths to marry Cheng Jinnian that she fell out with her family."

"Over the years, my parents have been too embarrassed to come to my sister because of the harsh words they said to her."

"This time it was because my mother was seriously ill and knew she didn't have much time left, so I wanted to see my sister for the last time."

"My husband and I came here this time just to find my sister, and we also wanted to use this incident to ease the relationship between us."

Jiang Zhuoran's words were well-reasoned and sounded very sincere, which made people feel sympathy for him.

"So that's how it is. No wonder I haven't seen you before."

"But you're late. Jiang Wan's family has already moved away, and they may not come back in the future."

An aunt sighed softly and decided to tell him the truth.

"Moved away? Where did you move to?"

Jiang Zhuoran was very shocked to hear the news. He had always thought that his sister would live here forever, but he didn't expect that she would move out without a word.

There are so many people here, where can he find her?
