Chapter 79 – Grandma, Grandma, I know where Aunt is!
When Bai Xiuhua got married, her mother-in-law had just given birth to her younger sister-in-law.
At that time, Zhang Ailian hadn’t married yet.
When Bai Xiuhua just got married, she hadn’t had a child yet and treated her younger sister-in-law as her own daughter.
Just didn’t expect that her younger sister-in-law would be taken away by a human tr*fficker.
“I wonder if my younger sister-in-law will ever come back,” Bai Xiuhua sighed.
“The country is so big, it’s so difficult to find someone. Even if my younger sister has a red butterfly birthmark on her back, it’s impossible for us to strip someone to check,” Zhang Ailian sighed deeply.
“I hope mom can think about it.” After all, it’s too difficult to find my younger sister.
Afterwards, the two talked about other things.
Xu Jinning outside the door accidentally overheard their conversation.
But…
Red butterfly birthmark.
Why does it sound familiar to her?
Is it a plot from a book?
Xu Jinning frowned, trying to remember, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t recall if she had read about it in a book.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Jinning still couldn’t remember.
It was like something flashed through her mind, but she couldn’t grasp it.
“If only I could remember, maybe we would have a clue about Aunt.”
Before lunch, the old lady finally woke up.
Xu Jinning was brought in again.
Seeing her eldest daughter and granddaughter, the old lady naturally felt happy, and her spirits lifted considerably.
Grandma Zhang was a kind and charitable old lady, her gaze towards Xu Jinning was gentle, constantly holding Xu Jinning’s hand, saying she had suffered.
Things will definitely get better in the future.
She even gave Xu Jinning some biscuits and a can of peaches from her bedside table, telling her to eat more.
“Take them back, try them, if you like them, in the future, when you come to grandma’s place, grandma will give you everything she has.”
“Child, don’t be afraid, grandma loves you, grandma knows you’re a good child.”
Saying that, she also hugged Xu Jinning.
Xu Jinning nestled in the old lady’s arms, feeling warm again in her heart.
In the 21st century, she also had grandparents, but she never saw them all year round. They almost ignored Xu Jinning’s existence and never missed her.
It can be said that Xu Jinning’s family ties were extremely thin in the 21st century.
“Dinner’s ready.”
Bai Xiuhua called from outside.
Xu Jinning and Zhang Ailian helped the old lady to go out together.
Xu Jinning also saw her uncle in this world, as well as her cousin Nannan who came back with him.
Uncle Zhang Yuanshan was tall and sturdy, at first glance, his appearance resembled her eldest brother Xu Xiangdong.
No, to be precise, it was the nephew resembling the uncle, it was Xu Xiangdong resembling Zhang Yuanshan, this uncle.
They both had honest, simple, and very approachable faces.
And cousin Nannan also followed Uncle’s character, he was also relatively easy-going and loved to smile.
It’s just that cousin Juanjuan is more introverted, she is also easily shy, especially when it comes to discussing her intention to get engaged, she becomes even more shy.
With seven people at the table, they ate happily, even Grandma Zhang, who had little appetite, took a few more bites.
But looking at this harmonious scene, Grandma Zhang, who was initially very happy, seemed to think of something and suddenly became sad.
“It would be great if your little sister is still here.”
“If only Lanlan was here.”
Grandma Zhang said, her eyes turning red and tears welling up.
“Mom…” Zhang Ailian went over and hugged Grandma Zhang.
“I believe, if Lanlan knows how much you miss her, if she remembers, she will definitely find a way to come back.”
“But you must take care of your health. Only if you take care of yourself can you see the day when Lanlan returns.”
“My Lanlan, she’s probably suffering somewhere…” Grandma Zhang suddenly broke down. Actually, if it was just suffering, she could handle it, what she feared the most was… what she feared the most was… if Lanlan was no longer in this world, she absolutely couldn’t accept that.
Lanlan…
Xu Jinning muttered in her heart, she leaned closer to her aunt beside her and asked, “Aunt, is Aunt’s full name just Lanlan?”
Aunt turned around, wiping the tears from her eyes, and explained, “Your aunt’s full name is Linglan, it’s the name of a flower. When your grandmother was pregnant with your aunt, she was particularly fond of this Linglan flower, so when your aunt was born, she was given the name Linglan.”
Linglan, Linglan…
Why does this name sound more and more familiar?
Xu Jinning furrowed her brow, pondering. She was certain she had heard or seen this name before.
Definitely in the plot of a book.
Which part exactly?
Linglan, butterfly birthmark, Dongfeng Production Brigade, abd*cted…
And in the next moment, something suddenly flashed through her mind, and this time, Xu Jinning instantly grasped it.
Her eyes widened in an instant.
I know, I know! Xu Jinning shouted frantically in her mind.
Xu Jinning finally remembered where she had seen the name Ling Lan before.
It was in the extra chapters of this “Real and Fake Rich Daughter” book.
Yes, it’s in the extra chapters, there’s a woman named Linglan!
That’s right, that woman named Linglan has a butterfly birthmark on her back.
Later, she came to Dongfeng Production Brigade to search for her family.
[Grandma, Grandma, I know where Aunt is!]
The crying Grandma Zhang suddenly heard such a voice, and she was stunned for a moment, then looked towards Xu Jinning in the direction of the voice.
Ningning knows where her aunt is? Grandma Zhang wanted to ask, but she found that although she opened her mouth, she couldn’t make a sound.
What’s going on? Why can’t I make a sound?
Meanwhile, Xu Jinning’s inner voice continued.
[Aunt didn’t die. Although she didn’t have a good life before, considering the time, she’s now become a big star in Hong Kong.]
[In a few years, with the reform and opening up, Aunt will come back from Hong Kong.]
[Aunt has memories. She always remembers her name is Linglan and that she lived on the mainland. She just forgot more, but she never forgot about finding her family, and she found it here!]
Later, Ling Lan, who had become a big star, did find Dongfeng Production Brigade, but by then Grandma Zhang was no longer there.
The reason for this extra chapter is also a line set by the author later to let Lin Wangshu develop in Hong Kong.
Zhang Linglan can also be considered as a stepping stone and a connection for the female protagonist Lin Wangshu.
Grandma Zhang was completely stunned.
Hong Kong, where is that? Which place is it? Grandma Zhang had never heard of this place.
Big star, reform and opening up, Hong Kong, she didn’t understand any of these.
But she understood what Xu Jinning said, that Lanlan would come to look for her family in a few years and found Dongfeng Production Brigade.
Is this true?
If it’s true, then that’s great!
Tears streamed down Grandma Zhang’s face, but this time, it was tears of joy.
