Chapter eight hundred and seventy-ninth grandfather's request
Chu Nan drank heavily, looking hesitant and helpless.
He glanced at Zhou Hailan lying in the coffin with some confusion, full of decadence.
Who would have thought that the mother who raised her up through all kinds of hardships turned out to be just her adoptive mother, while her real biological mother still had no news.
What happened that year?
Why was Zhou Hailan willing to sacrifice his own happiness to raise him up and not reveal his mother's identity until his death?
Now that Zhou Hailan is dead, Chu Yunsheng may be the only one who knows the clues about his biological mother.
However, Chu Nan also understood from Zhou Hailan's suicide note that it was obviously impossible for him, his biological father, to know too much about him, and it was possible that he came into being in a daze.
What's more, the Chu family has nothing to do with him. If he really wants to ask Chu Yunsheng directly and reveal his identity as his son, I'm afraid he will only humiliate himself.
It is impossible for Chu Nan to take the initiative to hug the Chu family's lap. He has his own persistence and backbone, so he has no interest in recognizing his biological father.
On the contrary, it was his mysterious biological mother, and he wanted to know more and more who she was.
If his biological mother didn't love him, she wouldn't have given birth to him in ten months of pregnancy, let alone ask Zhou Hailan to raise him.
There must be a reason why she had no choice but to leave him, and she must at least know what happened back then.
If someone wants to harm his biological mother, then naturally the son cannot stand by and watch.
Glancing at the dragon-shaped jade pendant hanging on his waist, Chu Nan took a sip of wine and made up his mind to find his biological mother! Not only that, he also wanted to find the killer who killed his adoptive mother Zhou Hailan and the mastermind behind it.
Although Zhou Hailan is not his biological mother, Chu Nan must repay the kindness of raising him for so many years! Milan frowned with some worry. This was already the third night of vigil. Since Chu Nan came back from the bank yesterday,
He still looks worried until now.
She leaned close to Xu Yuan and whispered, "Your brother is not in a good mood. Find a way to enlighten him."
Xu Yuan said with a bitter look on his face, "Sister, I'm not that good at it, why don't you go..." Milan glanced at him lightly, but could only nod in desperation, and was about to get up, but unexpectedly, there was someone outside the door.
At this time, Chu Nan's grandparents, as well as his uncles and aunts walked in.
After chatting for a while, I realized that it was Zhou Hailan's family members who took the initiative to come over and accompany everyone.
Chu Nan originally planned to politely refuse and let his grandparents leave.
After all, adoptive mother Zhou Hailan's family is getting older, so staying up late may be too much for her.
But then he thought about it, sat down next to his grandfather, and said, "Grandpa, when we were in the mourning hall the day before yesterday, you and I talked about my mother's past. We haven't finished talking yet. Can you talk to me again?
?"
Grandpa glanced at Chu Nan, waved his hands with a look of helplessness, and said, "No more, no more, your mother is already dead, why are you talking about this..." "Of course I want to say it, I want to know my mother
More things can help me remember her better in my heart."
Chu Nan said hurriedly, "Grandpa, just tell me."
"This...I don't know what to say?"
Grandpa was a little embarrassed and made a sound.
"Let's start after mother comes back."
Chu Nan said this and asked carefully, "Didn't you say that there was a beautiful woman who came with her?"
"Yes, when your mother came back more than ten years later, she did bring a girl with her to the village."
Grandpa said, "That girl is very beautiful, almost like a fairy. As soon as she arrived in the village, she made all the young men in the village dumbfounded."
"But she usually lives in a reclusive way and doesn't make much public appearances.
My daughter didn’t know what kind of evil she was possessed by, so she built a bamboo house in the back mountain just to live there with the girl.”
Hearing his grandfather's words, Chu Nan had already guessed in his mind whether this beautiful girl could be his biological mother, the young lady Zhou Hailan talked about?
The more he thought about Chu Nan, the more likely it was that he felt it was possible, but at the same time he was confused. His biological mother was obviously not a local. Why would she follow Zhou Hailan to a rural area like Southeast Province?
And...how did she meet Chu Yunsheng?
"I still remember that in the year you were born, my daughter and the young lady suddenly left without saying goodbye and disappeared without a trace. When we all thought that my daughter might have gone away again, she ran back again, holding a baby in her hand.
you."
When my grandfather said this, he said with an expression of hatred, "I was so angry at the time that I asked her directly who the child was. She insisted that it was her child with another man. She has been hiding in the house these days.
Outside, I just want to give birth to a child.
When I heard the bad news, I almost kicked her out."
When my grandpa said this, he glanced at Chu Nan and said with some embarrassment, "Chun Nan, in those days, an unmarried woman with a child was the most shameless existence in the countryside. Your mother was forced to
You had no choice but to fall out with me, and went to the city to find your stepfather, a worker, and start a family."
As for the quarrel between Zhou Hailan and her family, my grandpa actually said before that Chu Nan also felt that Zhou Hailan had no contact with his family for so many years because he was angry.
But when he knew that Zhou Hailan was not his biological mother, and that her identity was very mysterious, he made some bold guesses. Maybe Zhou Hailan didn't really hate his parents for not having contact with each other, but just because he was afraid of someone.
Find her, are you afraid that your family will be harmed, so why do you do this?
"Grandpa, do you know the name of the beautiful woman my mother brought back?"
Chu Nan still wanted to have a chance to find out about this mysterious woman who was probably his biological mother.
"Well...I really forgot, your mother didn't introduce you to me, she just said she was her friend.
I didn’t meet her very often after that, so I probably didn’t tell her what her name was.”
When grandpa said this, he glanced at Chu Nan, seemingly hesitant to speak.
Seeing his grandfather's expression, Chu Nan was a little confused and said, "Grandpa, is there something you want to tell me?"
"Well... Chu Nan, I do have something to discuss with you."
Grandpa seemed to be coughing awkwardly before speaking out, "Your mother has passed away. The most urgent task now is to find a place with good feng shui for her to be laid to rest."
Our custom there is called fallen leaves returning to their roots, so I want to bury your mother on Longtou Mountain, which has the best feng shui in our village."
When Chu Nan heard this, he nodded in support and said, "Well, after my mother has been away for so many years, she should return to her hometown after she passes away.
I have no objection to burying her somewhere with good feng shui."
"Yes, Longtou Mountain is the place with the best Feng Shui in our village. The Feng Shui master said that if the ancestors are buried there, future generations will enjoy happiness."
When my grandfather said this, he sighed, "Your mother is from our village, so it would not be difficult to bury her on Longtou Mountain, but that mountain was occupied by the village chief. This guy wanted to honor his ancestors and planned to use the graves of his family's ancestors.
They were all moved here and buried here."
"Oh, does that mean that others will have no chance to be buried on that mountain?"
Chu Nan thought for a while and said, "Isn't this village chief too overbearing?"
"Isn't it?
Many people in the village are dissatisfied, but they can't stand up to someone so powerful. The village chief has two younger brothers, one of whom is a high-ranking official in the city, and the other is a promiscuous man who is very powerful. Who dares to offend him?"
When grandpa said this, he seemed to be afraid that Chu Nan would be afraid, so he couldn't help but said, "I thought about it, otherwise we would spend money to contract and buy a piece of land in Longtoushan. In this way, the land would be ours, wouldn't that?
Then it can be buried."
"Okay, this is a good idea."
Chu Nan nodded in agreement. He also thought that it would be better to do less than to do more.
"I asked, and the village secretary said that if I want to buy land, it will cost 100,000 yuan. Our family is all farmers, and we can only raise 30,000 yuan. I will come to you first to talk about this. Look,
You go back and discuss with your stepfather if you can let the old Xu family do something more?"
Grandpa seemed to be afraid that Chu Nan would disagree, and then said, "I'm not asking you to contribute 70,000, but you can contribute as much as you can. There's not enough left, so I have to get it even if I get a loan."
Chu Nan was suddenly moved.
Grandpa's family are simple farmers, and one hundred thousand yuan is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for them.
But in order to let his mother rest in peace, he even went into debt. Could he not be happy with such behavior?
