Chapter 188: Having A Younger Brother
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“This photo… doesn’t it look a bit like your eldest sister?” Zhou Lan noticed something unusual about the picture.
Upon hearing Zhou Lan’s words, Jiang Xia also agreed.
In Jiang Xia’s memory, Jiang Qing was a gentle girl, who gave the impression of positively facing her present life, even though she had gone through hardships.
The woman in this photo gave off the same vibe.
Jiang Xia even vaguely felt that the woman in the photo might be their biological grandmother, Jiang Chuan’s real mother.
Since seeing this photo, Jiang Chuan hadn’t said a word. He felt an inexplicable connection with the woman in the photo.
“Considering our previous guess, could the woman in this photo be our father’s real mother? She also bears a striking resemblance to eldest sister.” Jiang Xia couldn’t hold back her suspicions.
Hearing this, Zhou Lan nodded in agreement.
Jiang Chuan had always been handsome, which was fifty percent of the reason Zhou Lan was attracted to him.
Even though the present Jiang Chuan wasn’t as tall and handsome as before, if their life improved and his health recovered, he could still become a good-looking middle-aged man.
In Zhou Lan’s memory, people often said Jiang Qing and Jiang Xia looked like Jiang Chuan, and Jiang Gu looked like her.
“Dear, If this woman really is your mother, we should try to find out more when we have time. Maybe we’ll find more clues.” Zhou Lan said, looking at Jiang Chuan.
She was surprised to see Jiang Chuan, who had always been steady and calm, had tears in his eyes and look of deep sorrow.
“What’s wrong? Did you feel something when you saw this photo?” Zhou Lan asked, treading carefully seeing her husband’s unusual reaction.
Jiang Chuan sniffled, his voice filled with helplessness, “I just felt really sad when I saw this photo for the first time. This feeling has been overwhelming me. And… 1 also feel a bit heartbroken.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Old Madam Jiang is still alive. If the person in this photo is really your biological mother, then Old Madam Jiang must know some clues. Don’t worry, we’ll find her slowly.”
Hearing her mother’s words, Jiang Xia felt like it was like a knife to her father’s heart.
If Old Madam Jiang was willing to speak, would her family have ended up in such a miserable state?
Jiang Xia changed the topic, pulling Zhou Lan’s arm, “Mother, look, with this big box of things, we won’t have to worry about our life anymore.”
Zhou Lan was a broad-minded person, and her attention was once again drawn to the box of jewels and gold. “That’s right. With this box of jewelry and gold bars, do we still have to be afraid that Old Madam Jiang won’t tell us about your sister’s whereabouts? We can afford whatever she asks for now.”
“Yes, but mother, now we have this box of gold, we don’t have to worry about money anymore. We have time too, Have you ever thought about having a younger brother for Jiang Gu and me in this era?”
This memory belonged to the original Jiang Xia.
In the memories of the original Jiang Xia, her mother had always been scolded by Old Madam Jiang because she did not give birth to a boy. They were poor back then, and Jiang Xia wanted to speak up but was afraid of the elder’s authority, so she never dared to discuss it with her mother.
Even if she did, it would be pointless. Even if they had a younger brother, could they afford to raise him?
Therefore, when this memory came to Jiang Xia’s mind, she subconsciously voiced out her thoughts.
“You silly girl, how can I have a baby at this age? Besides, 1 already have you, Jiang Gu, and your elder sister. Isn’t that enough for me? isn’t it, my dear?”
Zhou Lan had always wanted a son, but it was a matter of destiny. Even with the desire and the current conditions, considering her age and physical state, she was unable to do it.
However, even if she was not destined to have a son in this life, Zhou Lan actually didn’t think much of it now.
Jiang Xia was so smart, Jiang Gu was so considerate, and Jiang Qing had always been sensible. All three children had never given her much worry. What else could she ask for?
Upon mentioning this, Jiang Chuan recovered from his sadness and uncomfortably said, “Cough, cough… this isn’t something we can have just because we want it. It’s late now. Let’s put away these things first. We can talk about other matters later..
