Chapter 821: Chapter 821: Visiting the Xiu Family (1)
This was Jiang Bin’s second visit to the Xiu Family home. The last time, he had come with Ruan Jiaojiao. Hu Yun knew how to play her part. She thought highly of Ruan Jiaojiao, so she was also very polite to him.
Today, following the Captain and the village secretary, Hu Yun was somewhat puzzled. She didn’t understand why this unfamiliar man kept coming to her house.
Unsure of Jiang Bin’s identity, she didn’t dare to speak rashly. Instead, she just smiled and greeted the village secretary and the Captain: "Captain, Secretary, what brings you to my place today? Is there something going on?"
After speaking, without waiting for their reply, she caught sight of Xiu Xun following behind them. Her expression changed as if by magic, and the obsequious smile turned into a harsh scolding: "You damned kid, loitering around all day, not caring about home. Look at the time! Go chop pigweed for your mother. And by the way, we’ve been out of firewood in the kitchen since yesterday. What’s the use of raising you? It annoys me just to look at you. Go on, go wash your brother’s clothes first."
As soon as Hu Yun finished speaking, she reached out to pull Xiu Xun, trying to shove him into the kitchen to keep him out of sight, but before her hand could touch Xiu Xun’s head, it was blocked by someone.
Jiang Bin’s expression was ugly as he pulled Xiu Xun behind him.
Although he already knew that Xiu Xun’s life in this family was hard, there would always be a difference between imagining it and seeing it with his own eyes.
Seeing his own nephew being treated like this, Jiang Bin felt a mix of heartache and anger. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Blocked by Jiang Bin, Hu Yun was taken aback and then looked at him suspiciously, asking cautiously, "And who are you?"
Jiang Bin did not speak, only looking toward the Captain and the village secretary.
Captain Wu Guoqun normally didn’t meddle in other people’s family matters. There had been several children in the village not living well over the years. Although he was the Captain, these were ultimately private family issues, and it wasn’t his place to interfere.
However, now that outsiders had witnessed child abuse in his village, he still felt quite embarrassed.
He glanced at Hu Yun with displeasure and pointed at Jiang Bin, saying: "Xiu Family folk, enough with the nonsense. This man is Xiu Xun’s relative, his own uncle."
"What?" Hu Yun’s eyes bulged, and she scoffed: "His uncle? Since when did my man have such a brother?"
Her eyes moved up and down Jiang Bin’s body. She had yet to consider the possibility that he was related to Xiu Xun. She purely thought she must have been half asleep to hear such a ludicrous thing.
His uncle?
When did her husband acquire such a brother?
"I am the brother of Xiu Xun’s biological father. My name is Jiang Bin. Here are some identification reports, you can take a look. These can fully prove that Xiu Xun is a member of our Jiang Family." Jiang Bin spoke up and handed over the documents he had brought with him, including several pieces of evidence that could verify Xiu Xun’s identity, both in terms of blood relation and through comparison of childhood photographs.
Hu Yun finally understood.
She looked at Jiang Bin in disbelief.
"The little slave, bring the ball here to your young master quickly," a five-year-old boy suddenly ran out from the house, a ball rolling in front of him, a wooden ball made by Xiu Jianhong.
Reaching the doorway, the boy didn’t want to move any further. Instead, he haughtily ordered Xiu Xun to bring it inside for him, his tone naturally practiced as if this was not the first or second time he had done this.
He was young and didn’t really understand what ’little slave’ meant. He had entirely picked it up from a TV drama he had seen at the Ruan Family home. No one in the Xiu Family stopped him, so it had become a habitual phrase for him.
