Ever since he mentioned his cousin, Brother Jiao has always looked bad.
Sister-in-law Jiao pulled them into the house and was busy serving noodle soup.
Liang Yuanque went over to help and asked Sister Jiao in a low voice first.
"Sister-in-law, cousin...what happened?"
If the matter is serious, then he will have to be careful about what he says later.
"Hey, to be honest, it's not a big deal," Sister-in-law Jiao sighed, "He is just unfilial, and your eldest brother is very particular about this, so he always feels uncomfortable with it."
The room was so big, and as soon as Sister-in-law Jiao's voice was silenced, Brother Jiao behind her heard her.
"Hmph, filial piety comes first among all good deeds. How can being unfilial not be a big deal?"
"Yes, yes, anyone who hears about being unfilial will feel angry." Liang Yuanque quickly came over with a bowl to comfort him.
Brother Jiao felt much more comfortable when he saw that he was on his side. He became even closer to Liang Yuanque and pulled him to start chatting.
Brother Jiao said that his aunt's origins are somewhat legendary. The reason why she is said to be so is because she can be said to have "fallen from the sky."
Brother Jiao's uncle, whose surname is Pang, is an honest farmer who married a wife in his early years.
It's a pity that the first aunt was not lucky enough and died during childbirth, and she didn't even save the child.
Uncle Pang has been a bachelor for many years, dragging his younger brothers and sisters to grow up. Until one year, when he went up the mountain to collect firewood, he found a woman in a ravine.
This is the aunt that Brother Jiao and the others call.
This woman was wearing thin clothes and was carrying a newborn baby. Uncle Pang felt sorry for them and took them home on his back.
The woman said that she was a foreigner, and her family was originally wealthy. Unfortunately, they were attacked by bandits, and only she and her children survived.
She saw that Uncle Pang was an honest and kind-hearted man, and she was willing to stay and live with him.
The two became husband and wife. Uncle Pang respected this educated and sensible daughter-in-law very much and treated the children she brought as his own, so the relationship between the couple has always been very good.
My aunt wanted to send her son to study in the city, and my uncle was very supportive, thinking that studying was a good thing. Even though the tuition was a bit high for a peasant, he gritted his teeth and sent his son to school.
This son is the cousin who makes Brother Jiao angry just by mentioning him.
Not long after he entered the city to study, his uncle Pang fell seriously ill and passed away. After that, his aunt was left to support him through all kinds of hardships.
My aunt was also very weak and couldn't do farm work, so she worked hard to make embroidery work and sell it in the town. She usually had to do laundry, sewing, and supplements for supplements. Her life was very hard.
My aunt is a very kind person to her children. During her most difficult time, she often thought about Brother Jiao and her brothers, cooking for them and reminding them to buy extra clothes.
After the Jiao family's parents also passed away, the two Jiao family brothers have been taken care of by their aunt.
Sister-in-law Jiao also agreed with this. After she married, her aunt was kind and gentle to her, and she never experienced the hardships of being a daughter-in-law.
Sometimes she had quarrels with Brother Jiao, and her aunt would protect her and teach Brother Jiao to love his wife.
When Mrs. Jiao talked about this, she couldn't help crying when she remembered that her aunt had passed away.
Brother Jiao's family is very close to his aunt, and he naturally has a good relationship with his aunt's cousin.
The deterioration of the relationship with my cousin started with the death of my aunt.
My cousin did very well in school. After he finished primary school, his aunt decided to let him continue his education, even if it meant selling iron. She sent him to a middle school in a big city.
One day when he came back from vacation, his aunt closed the door and she didn't know what she had talked about with him. He cried and slammed the door and left.
After a while, he came back again, no longer dressed as a student, but wearing gold and silver, looking like he was returning home in fine clothes.
At that time, before Brother Jiao had a detailed chat with him, he was dragged into the house by his aunt, and the two closed the door again, and a violent quarrel broke out.
The aunt was very angry, but the cousin said that he still had important things to do, so he left some money and a contact address to Brother Jiao, asking him to help take care of his mother, while he left in a hurry.
As a result of her illness, my aunt's condition became more and more serious. It seemed that she had more air coming out and less air coming in.
Brother Jiao wrote a letter and sent it to the address left by his cousin, but the letter was ignored and there was no reply.
At first, Brother Jiao thought that he was very busy and had no time to reply to the letter. Maybe he would come home when he was done.
But later, when his aunt passed away and Brother Jiao wrote to him in grief, he still had no reply.
Even after his mother passed away, he refused to come home. Brother Jiao now understood that this bastard was determined to sever ties with his family.
They say people change their minds when they get rich. This was the first time that he didn't want his mother after getting rich.
His aunt has worked extremely hard to support him throughout her life. His behavior will be struck by lightning.
From then to now, Brother Jiao has never seen his cousin again, and has been unable to contact him. Every time he thinks of him, he feels angry.
After listening to Brother Jiao's story, Liang Yuanque narrowed his eyes.
Comparing the accounts of the Lin family and Brother Jiao, it is almost certain that this legendary aunt of the Jiao family is Miss Mo who was thrown out by the Lin family.
It seemed that Liang Yuanque's previous speculation was correct. Miss Mo did not really die during childbirth. Maybe she was just temporarily in shock due to blood loss and was mistakenly thought dead by the Lin family and hurriedly thrown out.
As a result, not only did she survive, but the baby boy she gave birth to grew up successfully.
Perhaps she was afraid that her identity would be spread out and the Lin family would be silenced again, so she lied to Uncle Pang about her identity.
"Brother Jiao, has your aunt ever said your name?" Liang Yuanque asked just in case.
Brother Jiao thought about it and shook his head.
"No, my uncle has always called her wife, and we have always called her aunt. She has never mentioned her name to us."
Mrs. Jiao on the side also nodded after hearing this.
"Yes, I asked curiously when we were chatting before, but my aunt said that when she mentioned it, she would think of the sad things in the past, so she didn't want to mention it. Let me just pretend that she has no name."
Although he didn't know the name of this "aunt", Liang Yuanque was even more sure that she was Miss Mo with her efforts to conceal herself.
Brother Jiao also mentioned in his words that his cousin was later sent to a school in a big city by his aunt, which made Liang Yuanque think of the tin buckle.
If those are really the buttons on the student uniform, then maybe the cousin did not abandon his old mother, but hid his identity and waited for an opportunity to take revenge!
That year, what his aunt closed the door and told him might be his life experience and this tragic past!
