According to Jiang Chuan’s original memories, the answer is certainly negative. Why else would Old Madam Jiang order their family to work every day?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan frowned and scrutinized the items in the box.
This Old Madam Jiang and Old Master Jiang actually held such a secret.
“There should be more gold bars than this, right? It seems like one has been used.” Zhou Lan looked at the jewelry and gold bars in the box and said.
“It must have been used by our grandparents, but what could possibly necessitate the use of a whole gold bar in our family?”
In Jiang Xia’s memory, even when they were about to sell Jiang Qing, she didn’t see the old couple in the Jiang family using this gold bar.
Moreover, this original body was only in her teens. Could it be that it was even earlier?
“It seems like it was about ten years ago.” Jiang Chuan stroked his chin and replied.
However, now his mind seems to have lost the impression of the use of the gold bar.
“This grandpa and grandma are really something. They have so much gold, silver, and treasure on them, but they still rely on our family to work. After selling Eldest Sister, they still want to sell me too!” Jiang Xia became even angrier when she saw this.
Logically speaking, in this era, one could not be considered poor to have such jewelry, but why did the two elders of the Jiang family have to resort to selling their granddaughters to survive?
“Could it be that your father isn’t your biological father?” Zhou Lan widened her eyes and pointed at Jiang Chuan.
With that said, they remembered some of the gossip in the village before.
Now it seems that maybe these are not rumors at all?
“Perhaps, considering the attitude of Grandpa and Grandma towards Dad, could it be that Dad is no only not biologically related, but there was a conflict between Grandpa and Grandma and Dad’s biological mother?” Jiang Xia made a guess based on Old Madam Jiang’s attitude.
Jiang Chuan, who was sitting aside, was spinning his mind rapidly.
The original body’s memories gradually emerged in his mind, recalling some small things, there were indeed such traces.
Jiang Chuan sorted out this information in his mind, and now he can definitively say that the original Jiang Chuan is indeed not the biological child of Old Madam Jiang.
“I can only vaguely feel it, but there’s no solid evidence. Moreover, after so many years, 1 can’t remember what happened before.”
It seems that to clarify this matter, it still requires more time and energy.
However, since he now knows the secret of the original Jiang Chuan’s birth, he will definitely figure out what happened.
He borrowed someone else’s body and should live well for that person.
After being disliked by Old Madam Jiang for so many years, now he finally found the reason behind it. Eventually, he needs to figure out why the Old Madam chose to adopt him but did not treat him well, he can’t just let it pass in a muddle.
At that moment, a wave of sadness welled up in Jiang Chuan’s heart. He also felt the same feeling of being scolded by Old Madam Jiang.
“There were at least ten gold bars in this box before.” Zhou Lan said after counting these gold and silver treasures.
Jiang Chuan reined in the emotions that had suddenly emerged, feeling somewhat sorry for the original body.
The original body was not a useless person, but he was suppressed by Old Madam Jiang for so many years, even if he was capable, he would always doubt himself.
Under such self-doubt day and night, Jiang Chuan turned himself into an ordinary farmer.
Alas, he could not escape the influence of his environment after all.
While Jiang Xia was still searching in that bag for something that could prove her father’s identity, Zhou Lan was busily counting the gold bars and jewels.
The mother and daughter duo had been busy for a while.
Jiang Xia was sweating profusely, her face disappointed, while Zhou Lan was also sweating, but her face was filled with joy.
Anyone who got so many good things would be so happy that they couldn’t sleep at night.
“Mother, did you see anything special when you were counting these jewels?” Jiang Xia asked Zhou Lan helplessly.
“Let me see.” Zhou Lan turned over the pile of jewelry again and said, “Ah, here it is, it’s wrapped in a layer of red cloth, I haven’t opened it to see what it is.”
Jiang Xia and Jiang Chuan’s eyes lit up, and they quickly took the item and examined it carefully.
“It’s a pocket watch!” Jiang Xia exclaimed in surprise.
She had only seen such a thing on TV and had never seen it in real life.
But when Jiang Chuan held this pocket watch, his hands started to tremble.
When he opened the pocket watch’s cover, a black and white photo that was only an inch long jumped into sight.
In the photo was a young woman of excellent temperament, clearly a lady from a rich family, not the kind of cunning that Old Madam Jiang could exude.
Jiang Xia stared at the photo over and over again, feeling as if she had seen it somewhere. It seemed familiar..
