Chapter 116 The 60s (1)
In addition, apart from her younger brother Xie Xiaojiang, who was closer to her, everyone else in the family had their own thoughts. Therefore, Wangyou preferred to eat alone and only occasionally share some with her younger brother Xie.
"Sister, I heard from Aunt He next door that food is almost sold out. Will we starve to death?" Xie Xiaodi said worriedly.
"Why worry about that? Even if someone starves to death, I, your sister, won't let you starve to death!"
"Hehe, thank you, Second Sister!"
"Knock Knock Knock!"
"Go open the door!"
"okay!"
"Excuse me, is this Xie Dazhu's house?"
"Yes, who are you looking for?"
"I need to speak with Xie Dazhu!" the girl said nervously.
"Who is Xiao Jiang?"
"Second sister, it's a woman. She said she's looking for our parents!"
"Let them in first, we'll talk about it when Mom and Dad get back!"
"Okay!" Xie Xiaojiang replied, then turned to the girl at the door and said, "You come in first, my parents won't be back for a while!"
Wangyou looked at the newcomer, who was dressed in patched clothes, had a sallow complexion, and whose eyes held a mixture of timidity and resentment.
Her facial features seem somewhat similar to those of Xie Dazhu and his wife; if she were to gain weight, she would be quite a beauty.
"What's your name? How old are you?"
"My name is Zhou Zhaodi, and I'm fifteen years old!" Zhou Zhaodi was a little confused. Whose daughter was this girl with such an air of nobility? She didn't remember her from her past life!
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Xie Wangyou, and I am the second daughter of this family. This is my younger brother, Xie Xiaojiang. What brings you to our house?"
"Is your sister named Xie Xiaowan, and is she also fifteen years old this year?" Zhou Zhaodi asked, taking a deep breath.
"Yes!"
"I was switched at birth with her. I am the eldest daughter of the Xie family!" Zhou Zhaodi had probably been holding back for too long, and after confirming that she hadn't mistaken the person, she spoke up directly.
"Oh, then let's wait until they get back!" Wangyou remained remarkably calm.
Seeing his second sister so calm, Xie Xiaojiang quickly swallowed back the words that were about to come out. He couldn't lose face with his sister so composed.
"Aren't you surprised at all?"
"Not surprised, because it has nothing to do with me!" Wangyou stood up and smiled. "Little brother, I'm going out for a while. Keep an eye on the house and make sure the guests are well taken care of!"
"I understand, Second Sister, don't worry!"
Wangyou turned and left, leaving Zhou Zhaodi and Xie Xiaojiang staring at each other.
School was closed for a while, so Wangyou and the others don't have to attend classes now, so they decided to come out and look for something suitable.
Wangyou first went to the junkyard, found a carved dressing box and then stopped. Since things hadn't completely fallen apart yet, there weren't many good things at the junkyard. She also found some books and then left with a pile of old newspapers.
Afterwards, Wangyou went to the black market again and came out carrying a pound of meat. When Wangyou returned home, everyone was back, but the atmosphere was so quiet it was frightening.
"Mom, I bought a pound of meat, shall we cook it?" Wangyou's voice broke the silence of the room.
"Forget-Me-Not, come here!"
"What's the matter?"
"This girl and your older sister gave the wrong information, what should we do?"
"Of course everyone goes back to their own home and finds their own mother. Do I have to say that?" Wangyou said casually, swaying her head back and forth.
"Dad, Mom, I really can't bear to leave you. Please don't send me away. Second sister, we've lived together for so many years. I don't ask for much, just give me something to eat!" Xie Xiaowan said, crying.
“But Zhou Zhaodi was originally my eldest sister. Just look at her hands and face, and you can tell she’s not doing well. You’re not wrong, but it’s wrong that you’ve enjoyed such a peaceful life for so many years!” Wangyou never thought that ignorance was not a mistake, because those who benefit from the system are not innocent.
Just like in her previous life, the reason she could tolerate that adopted daughter was because the two of them being switched was something their families had done. Her parents were killed, and that's why the Xie family adopted her. Besides, she didn't go back because she didn't want to, not because she couldn't.
Zhou Zhaodi and Xie Xiaowan were different. Both were fifteen years old, but Zhou Zhaodi was a head shorter than Xie Xiaowan. Compared to the fair-skinned and delicate Xie Xiaowan, the difference was striking.
"Then let's send them back. These days, we can't afford to support an extra person!" Xie Dazhu made the decision, and Liu Daya didn't say anything.
Don't be fooled by Liu Daya's apparent affection for Xie Xiaowan; when it comes to interests that clash with hers, she will absolutely abandon her.
“Zhaodi, right? Tomorrow you and your second sister go out and change your household registration first, then tell us your home address, and we'll send Xiaowan back!” Xie Dazhu said with difficulty, enduring his second daughter’s oppressive gaze.
"Mom, cook, I'm hungry!" Wangyou shoved the meat into Liu Daya's arms, and Daya quickly left.
After Liu Daya left, the main room fell silent again. Xie Xiaowan glared at Wangyou with resentment, "I'm not her biological daughter, and my second sister certainly isn't either. How could our family raise such a precious girl!"
"You can't spread rumors that I'm not your biological child just because you're not!" Wangyou yawned lazily. "After all, I was delivered at home, and I was the only baby born within a ten-mile radius that day!"
"That's right, Xiaowan, stop talking nonsense and go pack your things. I'll have your mother take you back tomorrow!" Xie Dazhu said unhappily. He had witnessed the birth of Eryatou with his own eyes, so how could she not be his biological daughter?
"Put your things away in your rooms tonight, so you don't get robbed in the middle of the night!" Wangyou reminded her again. Xie Xiaowan was a sophisticated egoist, so she was absolutely capable of stealing the whole family's money and running away in the middle of the night.
As soon as Wangyou said this, she received another big eye roll from Xie Xiaowan, but Wangyou pretended not to see it.
"Dad, I want to join the army!" Second brother Xie Wenyan suddenly dropped a bombshell at the dinner table, "I've passed the physical exam, and I'm leaving in three days!"
"Second Brother, you've gotten away with this big surprise without saying a word. But have you decided where you're going?" Wangyou asked with a grin.
"I heard it's an island area. If I leave, it'll be better if there's one less person to eat at home!"
"Hey, being a soldier is good, being a soldier is good!" Xie Dazhu looked at the bomb his second son had thrown down without the slightest bit of unhappiness. At this point, it was good that his son could find his own way out.
"Okay, Second Brother, remember to write home when you get there!" Wangyou didn't say anything, but she was thinking about making some medicinal bath packs for her Second Brother, after all, they were family.
"I've found a partner, she's the daughter of the factory director!" said Xie Wenbin, putting down his bowl.
Wangyou glanced at her older brother's appearance; he was quite the charmer. "Big brother, how did you manage to deceive that young lady?"
"What deception? I was seriously dating, okay?!" Xie Wenbin suddenly exploded.
"Okay, let's get serious about dating, but the only thing you're good at is your face!" Wangyou said disdainfully.
"No one else has it yet!"
"Are you sure?"
"It's confirmed. That's why I came to ask what you and Mom think."
"Let's find some time for the two families to meet!" Xie Dazhu said wearily.
The children are growing up, and each of them has their own ideas!
