When I was just reborn, I was sold for 300 yuan.

Chapter 573 Did Someone Tell You Something?

"No, nothing." Zheng Jiang lowered his head quickly and said to cover up.

"Xiao Jiang, what happened? Did someone say something nonsense to you?" Zheng Lin asked with a frown.

The fact that the Li family's daughter was replaced was no secret in the compound, and what Li Yuan had done could not be concealed. Almost everyone who knew the Zheng family knew about it.

It can be said that the Zheng family is also a victim. No one will say anything to other members of the Zheng family, but many people are not so friendly to Li Yuan's two biological sons. It is said that like father and son, like daughter, like daughter, and a mouse's son will dig holes. In the minds of many people, Li Yuan's son must have inherited some of Li Yuan's inferior genes. Therefore, some children in the compound are no longer willing to play with Zheng Jiang and Zhang Hai.

Zheng Jiang and Zheng Hai were fourteen and twelve years old at the time, and they were already sensible. Although their family members treated them no differently, the changes at home and the estrangement from their former friends still had a great impact on them. Over the past year, Zheng Jiang and Zheng Hai obviously talked less and were not as lively as before. The Zheng family saw it, and although they tried to guide them many times, the effect was minimal.

"No." Zheng Jiang pursed his lips and said, "Brother, don't ask."

Zheng Jiang's reaction made Zheng Lin frown. He was sure that someone must have said something to Zheng Jiang, otherwise, Zheng Jiang would never have reacted like this. Thinking of this, Zheng Lin sighed and said, "Xiao Jiang, I know that Second Aunt's matter is a blow to you and Xiao Hai, but you shouldn't be depressed. You should know that you and Xiao Hai are descendants of our Zheng family. You should put aside some people and things and don't let them affect your mood. If you continue to be depressed, you will destroy your life. Do you understand?"

Zheng Jiang looked at Zheng Lin and said, "Cousin, my brother and I are inseparable from our mother. No matter what, we are all connected to our mother. I know that what my mother did was wrong, but, cousin, it takes two to tango. I think my mother must have had her reasons for doing that. However, everyone says that she is a bad person and that she has let down the Li family. But I have also seen over the years that my mother has been really good to the Li family."

The more Zheng Lin listened, the more he felt something was wrong. His brows furrowed even more tightly. "Xiao Jiang, how could you have such an idea? What Second Aunt did was indeed unfair to the Li family. The family has explained this matter to you and Xiao Hai. You are not young anymore, you should understand this principle."

Zheng Jiang pursed his lips and said, "Cousin, that's my mother after all."

Zheng Lin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Jiang, tell me the truth, did anyone tell you something?"

Zheng Jiang's eyes flickered at Zheng Lin's words. He thought of what that person said to him, and he felt it made sense. No matter how bad his mother was, she was very good to him and his brother. Besides, if his mother had not married into the Zheng family, he and his brother would not have existed. All these years, it was because of her mother's choice that he and his brother had the rich life they have today, instead of having to struggle for life like other people, or even worry about their future jobs.

"No." Zheng Jiang denied: "Cousin, no one told me anything. I just missed my mother. Will I have a chance to see her again?"

Zheng Lin pursed his lips. Some time ago, the Zheng family received news that Li Yuan had passed away on a farm in the northeast due to health reasons. However, the Zheng family did not tell the two children, Zheng Jiang and Zheng Hai, about this news, fearing that it would devastate them even more.

"Xiao Jiang, you are a child of the Zheng family and only a child of the Zheng family. Don't think about other things. You are only fifteen years old and still a child. Your most important task at the moment is to study. Don't think about other things, okay?" Zheng Lin slowed down his voice and said to Zheng Jiang.

Zheng Jiang didn't say anything. He looked at Zheng Lin, his eyes reddening again. Then, he lowered his head and whispered, "I know."

Sure enough, that person was right. The Zheng family would not help him, nor would they help his mother. He was his mother's son. Since the Zheng family would not help, he would help himself. He could not let his mother suffer on the farm while he, the son, enjoyed himself here. He had to find a way to rescue his mother.

Zheng Lin had no idea what Zheng Jiang was thinking at the moment. He thought Zheng Jiang agreed with what he said, so he patted Zheng Jiang on the shoulder and said, "Let's go home first. It's almost time for lunch."

"Ah."

Not far outside the compound, a man wearing a hat and sunglasses, covering himself tightly, looked in the direction of the compound for a long time without moving. Then the man snorted coldly, turned around and left.

When Su Qing arrived home, Aunt Zhang had just finished cooking and brought out the food. Aunt Zhang was the staff member who took care of Mr. Li and Mrs. Li. She was mainly responsible for the diet of the two elderly people. The Li family was very kind, and the younger generations like Su Qing were very respectful to Aunt Zhang. When Su Qing saw Aunt Zhang bringing out the food, she greeted Mr. Li and Mrs. Li, washed her hands, and smiled, "Aunt Zhang, let me help you."

"No need, Qingqing, it will be ready soon. Go to the living room quickly. The two leaders were talking about you just now." Aunt Zhang said to Su Qing with a smile, and then pushed Su Qing to the living room.

Seeing that everyone in the kitchen was almost done, Su Qing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wash the dishes after dinner."

After saying that, Su Qing smiled and fell beside Old Lady Li, hugging her arm: "Grandma, do you miss me?"

"You are getting more and more spoiled as you grow older." Mrs. Li hugged Su Qing and asked, "Are you busy studying at school?"

"It's okay, I can handle it." Su Qing responded with a smile, and then she saw the resentful look in her grandfather's eyes.

Su Qing narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Grandpa, I miss you so much."

"Huh, miss me still holding your grandma."

When Mrs. Li heard this, her eyebrows immediately stood up: "Why, you old man still want to compete with me for my granddaughter."

"Why should I fight for her? She is my granddaughter." Old Master Li snorted.

Before Mrs. Li could say anything else, Su Qing hurriedly said with a smile, "Aunt Zhang has prepared the food. Let's eat quickly. I'm almost fainting from hunger."

Ever since Su Qing took better care of the health of the two elderly people in the family, their temperaments have become more and more cheerful. The Li family is no longer surprised by this kind of "competing for favor" drama.

Hearing Su Qing say this, Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, let's eat first. We can't let Qingqing starve."

As they were preparing to eat, the doorbell rang.
