The military master pledged his life to the country, and the military wife pledged her life to him.

Mother Fu was also surprised when she saw Lin Youwei and his wife.

But she quickly calmed down and gave Lin Xi a look.

After Lin Xi nodded in understanding, the two of them came to Lin Youwei and his wife with smiles on their faces.

As if she didn't know the relationship between Lin Youwei and his wife and Lin Xi, Mrs. Fu introduced Lin Xi to him, "Xixi, this is Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin, the family that I told you about before that had an engagement with the fourth child. Youwei, why didn't you bring Weiwei with you when you and your sister-in-law came to dinner?"

"Weiwei is still at work. Meilan and I rushed here after hearing from others that today is Huaichuan's big wedding day. Is this Huaichuan's daughter-in-law?"

Facing the gazes of Lin Youwei and Zhong Meilan, Lin Xi greeted them politely as if she didn't know them: "Hello, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin, I am Fu Huaichuan's wife Lin Xi. I am very happy to meet you and welcome you to attend the wedding banquet of Fu Huaichuan and me. Please come in--"

"Lin Xi, are you pretending not to know us?" Zhong Meilan spoke before Lin Youwei finished speaking.

She glared at Lin Xi with dissatisfaction and said, "I was wondering about you these days..."

"Shut up!"

Lin Youwei suddenly interrupted Zhong Meilan's mumbling.

Zhong Meilan was stunned for a moment after being scolded. After she came to her senses, she immediately showed a look of dissatisfaction towards Lin Youwei.

Then Lin Youwei said, "What are you talking about in public?"

Hearing this, Lin Xi stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Uncle Lin, it's okay, but Aunt Lin, do you know me?"

Lin Youwei: ???

"You don't know us?"

Lin Xi: "Does just meeting count as knowing each other?"

"My daughter-in-law suffered brain damage due to excessive blood loss, which is why she doesn't remember anything that happened after coming to Lingcheng."

Before Lin Youwei and his wife could ask further questions, Fu's mother took over the conversation.

The relatives and friends around were shocked when they heard this and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"

Mother Fu sighed and said, "You don't know how miserable my daughter-in-law's life is. This girl was originally from South City, but she doesn't remember how she came to Lingcheng. I only remember that she seemed to have a marriage contract, and I don't know whether the family didn't want to recognize her or what. This girl couldn't bear it and committed suicide by cutting her wrists..."

"what?"

"Slashing your wrists to commit suicide?"

"No wonder she and Huaichuan had white veils on their hands when they got their marriage certificate."

"And then? How did you bring them together?"

……

Without waiting for Lin Youwei and his wife to speak, their relatives and friends began to ask about the following plot.

"I found this girl when I went to the hospital to take care of our old man. At that time, this girl was covered in blood and fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss. As soon as I sent her to the hospital, she was pushed into the operating room for emergency treatment. After that, she was in a coma for several days before waking up. As a result, after waking up, I found that she had lost her memory of Lingcheng and was threatening to commit suicide..."

"I had no choice but to lie to her and tell her that I still had a son who was not married, but he had three children. If she didn't mind, she could marry my son..."

Nowadays, a woman abandoned by her husband's family has no way out, so what Fu's mother said was very convincing. At the same time, Lin Xi also showed a shy expression at the right time.

"Originally, this was just a delaying tactic. But I didn't expect that this girl had lived in the hospital for such a long time and no one had ever visited her. What surprised me even more was that this girl really fell in love with the fourth brother. They got their marriage certificate without telling me and even bought wedding candies. I only found out about it when I met them at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative that day..."

All the neighbors knew what happened next.

"After our old man's condition gets better, the fourth brother will take Xixi back to her hometown to meet her parents."

"Could it be that the big package you sent to the post office some time ago was sent to your in-laws?"

Before the second son, Fu Boyan, got married, his mother would send him some local specialties and the clothes and shoes she made for him every once in a while. Since Fu Boyan and Hu Qiong got married, his mother seldom sent them anything anymore.

Since Hu Qiong didn't want to accept it, Fu's mother had no intention of trying to please her.

This is why the neighbors around asked this question out of curiosity.

"You are so smart!" Mother Fu scolded and then explained, "That package was indeed sent to my in-laws. Who asked them to raise such a good daughter-in-law for me? But, Youwei, how do you know Xixi?"

Lin Youwei originally thought that the previous incident had been over, but he didn't expect that Fu's mother would bring it back again.

At the same time, the people around them all looked at Lin Youwei and Zhong Meilan, their eyes full of scrutiny and speculation about them.

If it weren't for what Fu's mother said before, Lin Youwei might have admitted that he and Zhong Meilan were Lin Xi's biological parents or distant relatives.

But after hearing what Fu's mother said, he didn't want to be labeled as cold-blooded and heartless, so naturally he couldn't admit in front of everyone that they had a relationship with Lin Xi.

So, he said, "Xixi and I met on the train when I was returning to Lingcheng. She stayed at our house the night she arrived in Lingcheng."

"So that's how it is." Mother Fu said with sudden enlightenment.

"You all have the last name Lin, and I thought Xixi was the distant relative you mentioned before!"

Lin Youwei quickly denied: "No, no."

"Ever since you told me that you had already arranged a marriage in Huaichuan, I returned the letter to my relatives. My niece has never been to Lingcheng since the beginning."

Zhong Meilan: "We are all born and raised in Lingcheng. How could we possibly know a girl from South City?"

"Oh, by the way, where is Huaichuan?" Lin Youwei didn't want to continue the previous topic and quickly diverted everyone's attention.

Mother Fu smiled and said, "Huaichuan is driving to pick up his elder sister. He won't be back until later. You guys go in and sit down. We'll have dinner soon."

"We still have to go back to work, so we won't have dinner, but we still want to wish Xixi and Huaichuan a long-lasting marriage and a baby soon."

Lin Youwei couldn't stay any longer with all the stares from the people around him. He handed the brown sugar in his hand to Lin Xi and left in a hurry. Even from a distance he could still feel the stares from the curious people.

"Can you please watch your mouth? You dare to scold Lin Xi in front of everyone before you even know what's going on? Do you want me to become a pariah with you? If I had known Xixi's condition was so serious, I shouldn't have listened to you. I should have gone to the hospital to see her instead of ignoring her life or death. Now, we can't recognize her even if we want to..." Lin Youwei vented all his dissatisfaction on Zhong Meilan.

Zhong Meilan said disapprovingly: "If she doesn't want to recognize us, then don't recognize us. It's not a big deal. Besides, it's hard to say whether she really has lost her memory. Maybe this is just an excuse she made up to not recognize us!"
