Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

Everyone was silent for a moment, unable to persuade them.

Old Lady Chen thought for a moment and said, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, you've been tired all day, so take a rest first. There's no rush for things like this, so we can inquire privately another day."

Seeing that Chen Lin was still lost in thought, Old Mrs. Chen frowned slightly and asked her family to take good care of him and comfort him carefully.

When Old Mrs. Chen went home, it was already dark.

Her two sons couldn't come home early today, and she told them that when they left in the morning. She wasn't worried about someone following her.

But even if she didn't mention Chen Lin about what happened today, she would still find it difficult to remain calm.

"Old lady, since you are troubled, just go and ask for clarification. From Mr. Zhang's expression today, I think there seems to be something hidden. However, there were so many people around at the time that it's not appropriate to discuss it in detail."

Xu Miao Niang has been accompanying Old Madam Zhang today, and she has seen the whole process clearly.

Old Mrs. Chen came back to her senses and looked at her intently.

"Did you look carefully? Mr. Zhang looks like he has something to hide?"

Xu Miao Niang nodded and said, "Old Madam, instead of making groundless guesses, why not ask her face to face?"

Old Mrs. Chen agreed with this logic, but it was the complicated emotions in her heart that made her so hesitant.

"Let's go to Mr. Ma's house."

After figuring it out, Old Mrs. Chen simply took Xu Miao Niang to Mr. Ma's house.

When the two arrived at Mr. Ma's house, someone was waiting for them.

"Sister Chen is here, come in and talk."

Mr. Ma invited people into the house, where Mr. Zhang was sitting waiting.

After a few people greeted her, Old Lady Chen went straight to the point.

"Mr. Zhang, today's matter was presumptuous of my second brother. But please also understand that my eldest aunt and them have a more than ordinary sister-brother relationship."

Old Mrs. Chen first complained about what happened today.

Mr. Zhang didn't take it seriously and expressed his understanding.

Old Lady Chen continued, "I've come here for no other reason than today's matter. Mr. Zhang, may I ask how old the old lady is this year? Where is she from? What are her honorific names?"

When Old Mrs. Chen asked these questions, she was already extremely nervous and held Miao Niang's hand tightly.

Mr. Zhang, "To be honest, Madam, my wife's name is Chen Xiu'e. She was born in September of the third year of Zhentong. As for where she came from, I don't know."

When Mr. Zhang told the old lady her name and birthday, Mrs. Chen was already shocked.

"How could I not know?"

Old Chen was too anxious and didn't realize that he had scratched Miao Niang's hand until it turned red.

Xu Miao Niang didn't say anything, but just kept stroking her back.

"I rescued her by the river. She was wearing a red dress and had a wound on her head. She was lying by the water, barely breathing!"

"After I rescued her, I consulted a doctor and took medicine to nurse her back to health for half a month before she woke up. However, after waking up, she had no memory of the past and no one knew her first or last name."

"I took her in when I saw her like this. I also asked around, but there's no news."

Mr. Zhang described the process of their meeting. It was just a few sentences, but it revealed a lot of information.

"So, this Chen Xiu'e, what did you, your husband, name her?"

"No"

Old Mrs. Chen couldn't help but lean forward.

Mr. Zhang said, "My wife has a mahogany plaque around her neck with these three characters and her birthday engraved on it. I think it must be a talisman that a family elder prayed for her."

"You said you met her by the river, wearing a red dress? Do you remember the exact time?"

Mr. Zhang thought for a moment and said, "It was around the beginning of August in the early autumn of the 20th year of Zhentong."

"really?"

After hearing this, Old Mrs. Chen was so excited that she rushed to Mr. Zhang.

Seeing her like this, Mr. Zhang nodded seriously in affirmation.

"Mrs. Chen, please take a seat first."

Old Mrs. Chen was confused for a moment. The name matched and the time matched.

He asked again in a trembling voice, "Where did you rescue the person, sir?"

"It's on the Xizi River, about 20 to 30 miles outside the county seat."

After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, Old Mrs. Chen was speechless for a moment.

No one else disturbed her, just letting her calm down.

"Miao Niang, go and invite my second brother over."

After a long silence, Old Lady Chen immediately ordered Xu Miao Niang to call someone.

When Xu Miao Niang saw the old lady like this, she understood what was going on and did not dare to delay. She trotted to Chen Lin's house.

"If what Mr. Zhang said is correct, the old lady is most likely my poor elder sister-in-law."

Then Old Mrs. Chen told everyone present about the past events.

While everyone was still lamenting the cruelty of fate, Chen Lin staggered in alone.

After entering the house and looking around, he didn't see the person he was worried about, and he felt a little uneasy.

With red eyes, she looked at Old Mrs. Chen helplessly.

Old Mrs. Chen asked him to sit down and told him in detail what they had just talked about.

"Second brother, you~~~"

Before Old Lady Chen could finish her words, Chen Lin burst into tears.

When Wang brought her children over, she saw how sad Chen Lin looked.

Wang looked at Old Lady Chen, then at Chen Lin, and without asking any questions, she walked over to comfort Chen Lin.

After a long while, Chen Lin calmed down and said in a choked voice, "Mr. Zhang, can you let me see that peach wood talisman?"

Mr. Zhang didn't let his wife come out, fearing that she couldn't bear the situation and would be overly stimulated.

Now seeing the Chen family like this, my previous doubts have become certainty.

He went to help his old wife out personally and explained the matter briefly.

Old Madam Zhang was naturally very excited, but she was still restrained when she came out to see Chen Lin. She was afraid.

Handing over the peach wood talisman, Chen Lin looked at it carefully, then took out his own piece from his neck and handed them both to Madam Zhang.

Old Madam Zhang held two almost identical peach charms and looked at Chen Lin cautiously.

Seeing her like this, Chen Lin couldn't help crying and knelt on the ground: "Sister, you are my sister, and I am Erlang!"

Mrs. Zhang's eyes were filled with tears, but she still spoke carefully, "Could it be a coincidence?"

Chen Lin cried and shook her head, "No, this peach wood talisman was carved by my grandfather himself. We three siblings each have one, and each of us has our name and date of birth engraved on it."

As if he thought of something, Chen Lin quickly turned over the piece of peach wood that belonged to Chen Xiu'e and pointed to one side.

"Look here, sister. There's a tooth mark here. I bit it when we were little. Now that you've grown up, you still tease me about it."

"Also, there's an inch-long scar on the left side of your waist. That's where you were beaten by Nian when you tried to save me."

"There's also a scar on my left pinky finger. It was burned."

......

Chen Lin was afraid that she wouldn't believe him, so he hurried to prove it.

His eldest sister was six years older than him. His mother passed away the year after he was born, and he had been raised by his eldest sister alone.

Mrs. Zhang no longer had any questions. Although she did not remember what happened before, none of the marks Chen Lin described were wrong.

"Second brother, are you really my second brother? I am not alone!"

Mrs. Zhang was so overwhelmed with joy and sorrow that she fainted.

When he fainted, everyone in the room was in a panic, crying and shouting for Mr. Ma to save them!
