Chapter 478 Just a coincidence
Chapter 478 Just a coincidence
This result was totally unexpected.
Xiaoyuan, who was sitting on the side, had already seen the note in Hualei's hand. For a moment, he was so shocked by the contents of the note that he was speechless.
Obviously, he must have imagined this situation with his father thousands of times, but this matter has completely exceeded his imagination.
Rong Jin on the other side saw Hua Lei crying and suddenly became anxious and said, "Sister Hua, don't cry, you don't even know what happened?
Maybe this is just a coincidence, and they are not Uncle Xiaocheng and Auntie at all. Is it possible that there really are people like Chen Manhua and Wan Siyun?
There are millions of people in the Great Sheng Dynasty, and there are many people with the same name and surname, not to mention that it is just a reverse homophone. Maybe it is just a coincidence, don't cry. "
Uh...? Coincidence? They are not my parents! Hualei was choked for a moment. This is indeed possible. In her previous life, Hualei had seen many people with the same name.
Then... there really is a Cheng Manhua and Wan Siyun, so they have nothing to do with me. I don't know anything yet, and I'm crying here first. Hualei suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
I was worried that Xiaoyuan couldn't bear it, but it turned out that I was the first one to be unable to bear it. After wiping the tears from her face, Hualei asked Tian Changjin again, "Uncle, have you found anything else?"
Tian Changjin nodded and said, "There was a gap of three days between the time these four people came ashore and left the shore. Xiaofu and I thought that they should stay in a restaurant or inn near the pier.
So we went to all the inns and restaurants near the pier to ask, but there was no record of them staying there. "
Hualei was stunned. They went ashore, and three days later, they boarded the ship and left the shore again. That means these people must have stayed near the dock for three days.
As for adult men, in order to save money, they might just stay in a corner or under a bridge for one or two nights.
However, it seems unlikely that a man, two women, and a two-year-old child would stay in a bridge hole for three consecutive nights. If nothing happened, they would simply not go ashore. Staying in the cabin is better than staying in a bridge hole.
If they left after three days on land, it was unlikely that they were kicked off the boat by the original boatman. Three days was not enough time to save money to get back on the boat even if they had to work part-time.
Something must have to be done, or something must have happened that required them to go ashore. So what had happened?
No, I don't even know if these people are my parents, why should I try to figure out their affairs? Hua Lei was speechless to herself.
Looking at Xiao Yuan who was frowning and Rong Jin who was thinking, Hua Lei asked Tian Changjin again, "Uncle, besides these people, are there any other people or families with the surname Hua or Yun in the detailed book?"
Tian Changjin and his son both shook their heads. These two surnames were the ones they paid special attention to, and they had carefully read the detailed booklet of the ferry twice, and there was indeed no such name.
"When you saw Cheng Manhua and Wan Siyun, did you also think that they were my parents? And you also thought that my father had a concubine and a child, right?" Hua Lei asked Tian Changjin and his son.
Tian Changjin looked at Hua Lei, then at Xiao Yuan, and nodded with some difficulty. When the father and son were looking at the booklet together, they almost simultaneously reached out and pointed at the two names.
After all, no matter how coincidental it is, it is impossible for the names of the couple to match the names of his cousin and his wife in reverse. This is really unlikely, right?
Moreover, when the father and son saw the book, they both agreed that Hualei's father must have taken a concubine. After returning to the inn, the father and son discussed it seriously and came to the conclusion that Hualei's father had taken a concubine and had a child.
It was this realization that made them a little absent-minded when they were looking for people in the shantytowns in the next few days. So after a quick walk through the shantytowns.
He also took his men to carefully check the restaurants and inns near the ferry, and when he found no records of lodging, he boarded a ship and left Fengyang Prefecture in advance, and rode as fast as he could to Qingyang Prefecture to find Hua Lei to report the news.
Therefore, Rong Jin's questioning just now stunned both the father and son. Now they regretted that they had dealt with the matter hastily in the shantytown.
I really took it for granted. There are many people with the same name and surname. The father and son are almost 70 or 80 years old together, but I still think things are so simple. I shouldn't end the search in Fengyang Prefecture so early.
“Miss, I don’t think Young Master Cheng is that kind of person. He would never take a concubine. He and his young mistress have a very good relationship.
Besides, Master Cheng is not without children. He already has you and Master Cheng. So it is impossible that he took a concubine for the sake of having children. Could it be that the wife and children of an acquaintance were asked by Master Cheng to take care of them?"
Uncle Fu on the side spoke up. Hua Mancheng could be said to have grown up under his care, and he trusted Hua Mancheng's character very much.
Looking at Uncle Fu who looked trusting, Hualei sighed secretly. You know, people's hearts are fickle, and men are all big pigs who are tempted by beauty.
Although the name Ni Daya sounds a bit rustic, what if this Ni Daya is as beautiful as a flower? It has been so many years, who knows what her father has become?
"Forget it. We don't know what's going on. Let's take it one step at a time. Let's all rest today. For the next few days, we'll still follow the original plan."
Seeing that it was getting late, Hua Lei asked Tian Changjin and his son, who were exhausted after traveling for several days, to rest first. She and Xiao Yuan Rongjin went upstairs and returned to their own rooms.
Hualei returned to her room and sat on the couch, thinking silently. As she was thinking, there was a knock on her door. Ziyan opened the door and Xiaoyuan walked in.
"Xiaoyuan, why are you here? Why don't you wash up and go to bed early?" Seeing Xiaoyuan, Hualei sat up straight.
"Well, Brother Rong Jin is washing up, so I came over to talk to you." Xiao Yuan sat down opposite Hua Lei.
"What's the matter? Tell me." Hua Lei asked as she covered Xiao Yuan's knees with a small blanket.
"Sister, remember, all the farms, shops, houses, and money in our family were earned by you. They are all your dowry. You should keep all the deeds to the houses and land.
When you get married, you have to write it down on the dowry list and take it with you, understand?"
