After transmigrating, he supported his family by working at a garbage dump.

Zhang He was disappointed when she didn't get the answer she wanted from Mei Xiangyun.

Seeing that her hopes were dashed, she didn't want to make any more pointless tests and upset anyone, so she took the opportunity to chat with Mei Xiangyun about everyday matters.

Questions such as: How old are you? How did you get here all by yourself? What's going on with your family?

Although, in the end, Mei Xiangyun's arguments were nothing more than the same old ones.

But Zhang He was sincere, and Mei Xiangyun saw that Zhang He spoke kindly and had no ill intentions, so she gradually opened up and revealed some things about herself.

"After this summer, I'll be fifteen... I came with the convoy..." and so on.

After listening, Zhang He concluded that although the girl was thoughtful, clever, and had some secrets, she was not a bad person.

The friendship between women is that simple. After a few words, Mei Xiangyun softened her sharp edges and became easier to get along with. Before Zhang He could ask, she even took the initiative to start a conversation with Zhang He.

So, after only half a day, Xu Zhuzhu and Xu An, the two children in the yard, stared in disbelief at the incredible scene before them.

Doubts arose.

Zhang He and Mei Xiangyun walked out of the house hand in hand, laughing and chatting like best friends. Mei Xiangyun even called her "sister-in-law" repeatedly.

Xu Zhuzhu mentally gave a thumbs up. Her emotions changed so quickly, like a lightning bolt from a movie. Where was the aloofness she had shown when she went out with the two siblings before?

Xu An also showed an expression of disbelief.

Zhang He scanned the courtyard. The large water bucket in the corner was full, and there was a pair of wooden buckets, one next to the water bucket and the other next to the basin in the stove shed.

The bucket returned, but Xu Wenjie was nowhere to be seen; she clearly remembered hearing his voice.

At this moment, Xu Zhuzhu mentioned in time, "Daddy went to find Godfather."

Zhang He asked what was wrong, and Xu Zhuzhu shook her head and said she didn't know.

Zhang He nodded, not giving it much thought.

Seeing that it was still early, we picked up the remaining half-bag of potatoes and took the two children to the backyard to continue planting potatoes.

Mei Xiangyun also said she wanted to go.

Zhang He glanced at the slender Mei Xiangyun from head to toe, then couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. "Good girl, you should rest!"

Zhang He's affirmation wasn't even needed.

Looking at Mei Xiangyun's delicate hands, Xu Zhuzhu knew she didn't look like someone who knew how to farm. Besides, her injuries hadn't fully healed, so her mother definitely wouldn't allow it.

Zhang He naturally refused.

But Mei Xiangyun insisted on going with him, and Zhang He couldn't persuade her no matter what she did, so she had to say that they wouldn't plant it and would talk about it again tomorrow morning.

Mei Xiangyun felt a little embarrassed, fearing that she had delayed Zhang He from getting out of bed, and apologized repeatedly.

With her hands fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, her cheeks slightly flushed, she said, "If you think I'm getting in your way, then I won't go!"

In just a few words, she revealed a hint of allure, making one marvel at her beauty.

Zhang He exclaimed in surprise.

"What are you thinking? I was just worried you'd aggravate your wound."

It's hard to believe that the woman who was glaring at you with a cold, aggressive look in the room just now is the same person as the girl in front of you.

Xu Zhuzhu sighed. Fortunately, her mother was a woman. She was certain that she would never be able to learn Mei Xiangyun's natural and unpretentious manner.

Her mother naturally couldn't go, so she could only tidy up the yard and prepare dinner.

By the time her father returned, it was already dark.

As for what he did at Li Quanfu's house alone, and why it took him so long, Xu Zhuzhu had no idea.

Zhang He didn't know either.

She has always adhered to the belief of being a "virtuous wife," and unless it involves her life or safety, she rarely inquires about her husband's private affairs, just as always.

Moreover, Zhang He's mind was preoccupied with Mei Xiangyun's affairs, leaving her with no extra thoughts about those matters.

If Xu Wenjie wanted to tell her, she wouldn't need to ask; her husband would definitely tell her himself. There was still that much trust between them as a couple.

The most important thing in her eyes was to tell her husband all the information she had gathered and see what he thought.

So Zhang He found an opportunity to pull Xu Wenjie aside and relayed to him in detail the contents of her conversation with Mei Xiangyun.

After hearing this, Xu Wenjie fell into deep thought.

Unlike his previous excitement, Xu Wenjie was very calm, and Zhang He carefully examined him.

Her husband remained calm and composed, showing no sign of disappointment or even curiosity.

Zhang He was immediately puzzled and pressed for an answer.

"My lord, didn't you want to know? Why aren't you curious at all now? It's as if you already knew."

Xu Wenjie leaned against the door with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on Mei Xiangyun, who was playing with two children in the yard. He said softly, "I went to Grandma Wang's house."

He paused suddenly as he spoke.

The melancholy that he had been trying so hard to hide in his eyes suddenly surfaced at this moment.

Aside from Granny Wang, the Zhou family in town probably knew more about the Liang family, but Xu Wenjie couldn't ask the Zhou family, so there was no one else who knew.

He composed himself and said in a deep voice, "...She doesn't know much either, and she refuses to admit what she said earlier."

"After much questioning, she finally revealed some information, which she had heard from her relative. At that time, among the younger generation of the Liang family, there were no known daughters, but there was one son..."

Zhang He opened her mouth, but no sound came out; she didn't know what to say.

Even though she had been prepared, and it was all speculation, she was still stunned when she heard such solid evidence, and her heart felt heavy.

This is far from what they guessed...

The atmosphere became tense for a moment. Zhang He looked up and saw Xu Wenjie staring blankly at the three laughing and joking people in the courtyard.

I was afraid that he would deliberately keep his thoughts to himself and keep them bottled up, which would only make him feel depressed. He had just been sick, and keeping it bottled up would only do more harm than good, so I wanted to coax him to talk about it.

She gently advised, "Husband, if you feel uneasy, tell me. We are husband and wife, so please don't hide anything from me."

At the same time, she took Xu Wenjie's hand.

Unfortunately, that's just Xu Wenjie's personality. No matter how big the matter is, he won't say anything except for the occasional glimpse of his emotions in his eyes.

Zhang He sighed helplessly. Her husband was good in every way, but he didn't like to talk about things and kept them from her. It made her feel bad, but after so many years, there was nothing she could do.

After all, her mother-in-law, who raised her husband, had no other way to pass on her skills.

Unexpectedly, before Zhang He could say anything more to comfort him, Xu Wenjie instead gripped Zhang He's hand tightly in return.

A large, warm hand instantly enveloped Zhang He's hand, and Xu Wenjie's gentle voice rang in her ears.

"He Niang, don't overthink it. What could possibly happen to me? Don't worry, I was prepared from the start."

This is the truth.

He just felt that his cousin's family, which was so large, shouldn't have just disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't even find out any substantial information about them.

So when he sees people with slightly similar features, he can't help but think in that direction.

Even if it's completely unfounded...

After calming down and thinking about it again, what else could Mei Xiangyun have that made him doubt her, besides those eyes that even she herself was unsure about?

After hearing what Granny Wang said, I became so desperate that I sought medical help indiscriminately.

“As long as they’re still alive, we’ll find out eventually. The Liang family has lived here for generations, so their ancestral graves must be here too. Didn’t Granny Wang say that story wasn’t true? My cousin and the others must have moved away. They’ll come back eventually.”

Zhang He comforted her.

Xu Wenjie smiled and agreed. However, he could perhaps inquire about where the Liang family ancestors were buried.

Seeing that he smiled, Zhang He was relieved and then asked him what he had been doing at Li Quanfu's house.

Xu Wenjie's smile widened, and he said, "Officer Hu is back."
