Chapter 16
Chapter 16
Mrs. Zhou stared at Wu Qingyuan and yelled fiercely, but she was already panicking in her heart.
Brother Zhou was adopted by her family. Except for Zhou Daniu who had fallen off the cliff and died, she didn't know if there were any other relatives in Brother Zhou's family.
Brother Zhou is good-looking, and the red mole between his eyebrows is also bright red. He is a sought-after little brother. She finally dragged the matchmaker to find a marriage with Qian Yuanwai. The vain 30 taels of silver dowry, if Wu Qing Yuan is really brother Zhou's relatives, this money will be wasted!
What's more, she has treated Zhou Ge'er badly these years. Judging by Wu Qingyuan's appearance, if Zhou Ge'er resents her and sues her after confessing her marriage, the family will definitely have to find her to settle the score.
Therefore, no matter whether this man is looking for her Zhou brother or not, this kiss must not be recognized!
"You said that my brother Zhou is your relative? You are a thief, who knows where the Jiangyang bandit came from and let us blindly recognize relatives to hide from trouble, or a kidnapper who came to kidnap people!"
Mrs. Zhou did a good job of psychological preparation, and immediately used her ability to make jokes and yelled.
These days, it is not reliable to recognize relatives by dripping blood. You can only rely on tokens to find someone. Brother Zhou didn't know anything when he was so young. As long as she refuses to recognize him to death, who can prove that Brother Zhou and this man are relatives?
Everyone in the village knows her temperament. From what she said, it is clear that this old woman is definitely determined to play tricks and play tricks no matter whether she is really close to her or not.
Lin Amo was so angry that Brother Zhou's eyes turned red.
The village chief couldn't stand it anymore, and warned her with a face, "Mrs. Zhou, don't play tricks!" Then he walked up to Wu Qingyuan, looked him up and down, and said seriously.
"Young master, you said that you are here to find relatives, but do you have any tokens to prove it?"
The village chief followed Grandma Zhou's words and asked questions, and he didn't mean to help people in his own village. Brother Zhou is a child that everyone watched and grew up. Not everyone is as cruel as Grandma Zhou. In fact, everyone in the village pities this little brother. .
It would be great if Zhou Ge'er's relatives really came to look for him, but Wu Qingyuan came from outside, and he didn't know the details. If he was a bad person trafficker, if he took Zhou Ge'er away, wouldn't he be out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den ?
This kind of example is not without. During the famine, a large number of refugees fled to them to settle down. Many of them, like Brother Zhou, were adopted by the local village without father and mother. Several people were abducted in the name of looking for relatives. Later, some people escaped and came back to expose the simple villagers in the village.
What's more serious, last year a bandit who pretended to recognize relatives and settled down in the next door village was wanted by the government, so now people in the village dare not recognize relatives indiscriminately, especially the rich. It's the trouble of hitting the autumn wind!
So as the head of a village, the old village head had to think a little more.
"Yes, yes, little brother, do you have anything to prove it? Hurry up and show it..."
The surrounding villagers also nodded in agreement, this is not too difficult, such things as confession of relatives should be investigated clearly.
Wu Qingyuan knew everyone's worries. When he was in the town to find out the situation today, he inquired about these things and was mentally prepared to be interrogated.
Nodding his head, he politely bowed his hands to the village head, and then calmly began to make up stories.
"The village chief don't call me son. My surname is Wu, and my name is Wu Qingyuan. I really have no blood relationship with the Zhou family. I am a relative who escaped from the Zhou family and adopted an adopted son when they settled overseas..."
This was an excuse he had thought up on the road just now.
Although the ancient times were very backward and there was no modern paternity test, even men in this world can have children. Who knows if there are other fantasy methods to identify blood relationship? Blood relationship, as long as there is a name to make up a story.
"...my adoptive mother has been very concerned about her relatives all these years, so when she passed away, she asked me to return to my hometown to find my family members and return to their roots. However, when my adoptive mother was dying, she was in a state of confusion and did not provide much information. , I only know that the relatives separated from my adoptive mother are two brothers, and the direction of escape is Xia Guo. I found this place after many inquiries. Brother Zhou's information is very consistent with the person I am looking for."
"Grandfather of the village chief, it must be Brother Zhou. Brother Zhou's life experience matches everything that Brother Wu said!"
Lin Amo actively chimed in. In fact, the information Wu Qingyuan said was very vague, and it was difficult to confirm it based on one-sided words, but he just believed it.
Because only Wu Qingyuan is Zhou Ge'er's relatives, Zhou Ge'er does not need to be married to an old man by Mrs. Zhou, and Wu Qingyuan said that if he finds his relatives, he will settle in the village, so he is not afraid that he is a human trafficker. It's not like the mountain bandits in the next-door village last year who took people to the government to check and found out.
"Bah, just rely on what he said? These things can be inquired about, the surname Wu, what evidence do you have?"
Mrs. Zhou was so nervous, she hurriedly retorted.
"Of course there is evidence."
Wu Qingyuan was still very calm, he never did anything he was not sure about, and it was not without reason that he suspected that Brother Zhou was the Zhou Fuxi he was looking for.
After finding out the time of the famine, based on the information he provided verbally, there are many little brothers around who can match the number, but this brother Zhou is the only one who is different.
According to what Lin Amo told him about the other party's brother falling off the cliff, it was exactly the same as what the second master's partner Zhou Bo said before crossing. On the way here just now, he asked the other party's name, Zhou Geer's Also called Zhou Daniu!
Although there are coincidences in the world, there is no reason for it to be so coincidental. At this moment, if you look carefully at Brother Zhou's appearance, it is three points similar to the photos he has seen of Uncle Zhou when he was young. If there is no accident, Brother Zhou There is a 90.00% chance that the five or more children are Uncle Zhou's younger brother Zhou Fuxi.
"My adoptive mother told me that one of the younger brothers had a birthmark like an ingot on his back. By the way, I have a photo... a portrait here, which can be used as evidence for identification."
As Wu Qingyuan said, taking advantage of the cover of his clothes, he took out from the space a black and white photo that Zhou Daniu specially gave him before crossing. This was just in case, except for the birthmark, so that he could find evidence for confirmation.
This ancient time is different from the passage of modern times. The famine has only passed 12 years. Most villagers in the village have seen Zhou Daniu. As long as the villagers help him identify that Uncle Zhou in the photo is the same person as Brother Zhou’s brother Zhou Daniu, then there is no need to do anything else. If there is no evidence, Brother Zhou must be Zhou Fuxi!
Seeing that Wu Qingyuan really took out the things, the villagers were very curious, that Zhou's grandmother also ran up with her skirt and her son and daughter-in-law.
Everyone gathered in front of the village chief, looked at the photo in the village chief's hand, and immediately screamed.
"Oh, look quickly, it's Zhou Daniu, it's Zhou Daniu!"
"Really, this portrait is exactly the same as the painting, it's really amazing."
"That's right, the painting is really good, it looks like a real person, I haven't seen it before..."
Although the modern photos that Wu Qingyuan took out were novel, they were novel, a photo would not be too out of the ordinary, everyone didn't think he was a monster, but they all stared at the lifelike photos, chattering excitedly.
But no matter how we discuss it, as long as someone who has met Zhou Daniu before can help to testify by looking at the photo, the person in this photo is really Brother Zhou's own brother Zhou Daniu!
"It's really like, exactly the same, brother Zhou, come and have a look, this is your elder brother, do you still have the impression..."
The old village chief also laughed, he was also someone who had seen Zhou Daniu before, and he could recognize him at a glance, so he hurriedly handed the photo to brother Zhou beside him.
Brother Zhou is completely stupid at this moment, he never thought that he still has relatives, and now he is looking for him.
Slowly took the photo and saw the person in the photo, he murmured "Brother..." and then burst into tears with his red eyes. Although he was young when we separated, he vaguely remembered At one point, the lifelike photos immediately aroused his memory.
He, his family really came to him...
"No, it's impossible. This must be false. When Zhou Daniu lived in my house, he said that all his relatives died and only the two of them were left. He's okay..."
Grandmother Zhou turned pale as she stared at the photo. She shook her head in a panic and made the final struggle. Brother Zhou was picked up, so what about her 30 taels of dowry money?
"That's enough, Mrs. Zhou, you're still fooling around after everyone's evidence has been brought out. If you continue to make trouble, don't blame me, the village chief, for being rude. We have a lot of people in Liushu Village, so we don't miss your household!"
The village head is very impatient with a straight face. This old woman usually makes trouble for him. It’s okay to be harsh on Brother Zhou. Now everyone in the family has come to find him. My son's attention is really too ignorant.
I didn't see that this brother surnamed Wu seemed not to be trifled with, it really started to make trouble, the little brother in his family has been bullied by your Zhou family like a current person for so many years, can you let it go, ignorant old woman.
Her daughter-in-law also tugged at her clothes, signaling her to stop talking. Some villagers have identified and testified that Wu Qingyuan's photo is more convincing than any token!
