"Can you ask the specific reason?"

"It's better because of doubt. I doubt that my ancestors gave Shen Mingyi and Shen Changshou and others some good things. Otherwise, there's no reason... Shen Ankang's sister changed the bride to Shen Ankang, so she gave birth to a daughter and wanted to get a child. The child who will give birth to the future is to have sex with her husband. I remember that the surname is Xiao. They hired Shen Changshou's godfather's son. That godfather should have the surname Guan. When this matter was made, our family couldn't understand what was going on. In terms of seniority, it was not suitable, very inappropriate. Although the godfather's family was at home.

It was strange to let his son marry into his family. Later, he said that he adopted his first son, and he adopted him as soon as he was born. Our family was invited to have a drink and wanted to ask what was going on, but there was no explicit statement on the other side, and he was talking about fortune telling and so on... My grandmother's idea was that they were impatient when asked and found excuses. It might be that there was fortune telling, but the Xiao family and Guan family agreed that it must have been Shen Ankang who gave it. The things that the ancestors left to Shen Mingyi must have fallen into Shen Ankang's hands."

"Is this just speculation?"

"They believe it. My grandfather and the others don't talk much about this. Is this a chat between women's families, or as outsiders... I mean, as a daughter-in-law, or it's true, I can't be sure. In that era, if there were any rights, inheritance, they had nothing to do with their daughter-in-law and daughter. They may not have the chance to know the secrets of a family. It's a bit exaggerated to say that the family is... The sisters who were the first to declare Xiu and the State have broken off contact with their families after getting married, and their status is even lower. Alas..."

"Well. After Shen Ankang's death, the other two families wanted to recognize their children as their ancestors. Is that true?"

"It's because of this. At that time, our family had fewer contacts with their family. The main reason was that several wives of Shen Ankang did not agree to return Xiao Ying back. They were just daughters-in-laws. After their man died, they were considered a minority member of the family, but to the outside world... Shen Ankang's sister also wanted Xiao Ying back. They had no choice but to invite several elderly people from our family. But what happened... My grandmother said, there must be something strange about this. They asked our family members to support the scene and uphold justice, but when they quarreled, the people in our family didn't understand what they said, and they were unwilling to explain. It was probably... At the time when they first recruited a husband and adopted him, Shen Ankang had all made benefits. There were conditions and agreed to make an agreement, and it was reasonable for them to make Xiao Ying to recognize his ancestors and return to his hometown. But Shen Ankang's wives did not agree."

"You don't know what their conditions are?"

"Well, I don't know, my grandma and the others are just suspicious. Haha... My grandma even scolded my grandpa for this, thinking that he had concealed the matter and was foolish in treating people as relatives. He didn't take any benefits at all, and gave them to others."

"I understand. So, your family has also received Xiao Ying's New Year's card? Do you confirm that Xiao Ying, who sent the greeting card, is your relative?"

"My mother thinks so. She is very sure. When she received the greeting card... I remember that my father took the greeting card from the mailbox. He didn't know this person, so he asked my mother, and asked me. My mother thought for a while and then remembered that Xiao Ying was the one Xiao Ying. The name is actually not very certain. My grandparents called him a nickname, Xiao Wu or A Wu, etc. After adoption, they took a single word name, but it was not 'win', it was something else... The pronunciation is a bit similar... Sorry, I really can't remember it."

"It's okay. Your mother is very sure of his identity, but your mother's brother doesn't seem to be so sure?"

"That's right. My uncles and uncles... don't say they are bad, but they may not know about these things. My grandma and the great grandma won't tell them too much about this kind of things. My grandma and the others don't want to listen, and they don't want the younger generation to know. The main thing is that they have the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. They have not treated my mother badly, but the way to raise children is different. I still think that boys should take on the heavy responsibilities of the family and strive to improve. The girl's words, mothers and grandmothers will take some housework and talk about family matters, and it doesn't matter."

"Well. What do your elders think about Xiao Ying himself?"

"It's a bit complicated. Considering the fact that they would recognize their ancestors later, they thought... Xiao Ying might have been in his teens and twenty years old at that time? He was admitted to college. They thought he was a good child, but Shen Ankang should have given him an important inheritance in the end. He should have obtained the most important thing in our family. In the present opinion, this idea... Our family is at most a rich man with some savings. The relationships and ways he has could not be kept in that era. The main reason is that no one will maintain it. Of course, this is my opinion. No one in our family joined the army. Although it was not affected too much by the war, it was not beneficial, and it was even more impossible to maintain some of the previous relationships. Our elders definitely did not receive such instructions and did not know those people. On the other side, the males, who had not lived long and had poor health, had to struggle to continue the incense for a long time."

"Well, I can understand this idea."

"If you want to talk about relics... antiques, it is understandable. There is such a possibility that some old objects from the past were left and passed to Xiao Ying. The matter of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the family should also bother Xiao Ying. Normal people will be distressed. Why are biological parents willing to send themselves out? When the person dies, they will take him back. They will definitely suspect that their biological parents have other plans. They are not the person who is looking for him, but the things he gets. He should be good-looking, has a good temper, and is very polite. My grandmother and the others have a very good impression of him and think it is a pity for the children. He should be grateful for the fact that my grandmother and the others have asked him several times to uphold justice. Later, he sent New Year's cards to several families, probably because of this kindness... it cannot be said to be kindness... There may be envy... His family is divided, and our family is kind and filial to our son..."

"I understand. Have you sent something to Xiao Yinghui?"

"My mother sent New Year's greeting cards. I sent them in the first two years. Later, I saw that the addresses of the New Year's greeting cards he sent every year were different, and they were all different countries. I suspected that he always traveled during the New Year, so I stopped sending them. This... Actually, my mother also said that he was so carefree, maybe because he adopted Shen Ankang and got something."

"Well. This is something your elders in your family have never been confirmed, right? There is no clue?"

"No."

"Are there any other contacts besides the New Year's greeting card?"

"there is none left."
