The original wife who died young and dressed as the villain regent

the other side.

Lin Xi's feet healed quickly, and the swelling subsided after applying medicine several times.

Soon, the twenty-sixth day came,

Lin Xi planned to make some sausages, bacon, etc., to be eaten during the Chinese New Year. However, she had never done it before, and this was her first time. Although she could make the ingredients and marinate the meat, she did not know the specific steps of making it.

Lin Xi then wanted to find Aunt Zhang to do it together.

The four children went out to play, and Lin Xi told Shen Chen, who was weaving a bamboo basket, to leave.

Unexpectedly, I went out and saw Aunt Zhang and the village chief walking not far away, followed by several people.

Seeing Lin Xi, the village chief and Aunt Zhang immediately called her to say hello.

Lin Xi responded in surprise.

Shen Chen in the yard heard the sound, put down the bamboo basket and came out, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know, Aunt Zhang and the others are already here."

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he looked at the village chief and the others.

As they approached, Lin Xi saw that the people following them were a few strangers. She was probably familiar with the people in the village and could recognize who they were, but those few people were very unfamiliar and they were probably not from the village.

Looking again, Lin Xi's eyelids jumped.

Next to Aunt Zhang was a familiar woman, who was holding Aunt Zhang's hand and talking affectionately. At this moment, she turned to meet Lin Xi's eyes and immediately walked over warmly.

"Lin Xi, my aunt misses you so much."

It was the woman who came to my door that day.

Lin Xi and Shen Chen looked at each other and frowned.

In a short time, the village chief and others were already close to him.

Aunt Zhang said with a smile: "Lin Xi, what a good thing." She looked at the woman and said: "I thought you had no relatives there anymore, but guess what? There is another one! This is your mother. My sister who disappeared a few years ago, Zhuang Hongmei."

As soon as Aunt Zhang finished speaking, Zhuang Hongmei ignored Lin Xi's dark face, grabbed Lin Xi's hand, and forced tears from her eyes.

"Xier, you were disrespectful to my aunt that day, and I can understand it. After all, my aunt has been missing for so many years, and it is normal for you not to be close to her. From now on, you will no longer be alone. With my aunt here, my aunt I will definitely love you well."

Lin Xi felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard her call her.

She immediately shook off Zhuang Hongmei's hand, stepped back and leaned against Shen Chen, saying: "First of all, whether you are my aunt is debatable; secondly, I am not alone, I have my husband-in-law and children, they are my family. Don’t ask for relatives at will.”

Shen Chen's eyes softened when he looked at Lin Xi, and he held her hand, giving her silent support.

Zhuang Hongmei's face twisted, she pulled out a handkerchief from her arms, wiped her face and said sadly: "My aunt knows you don't believe it, so this time, my aunt came to find a witness."

"witness?"

Lin Xi frowned and looked at the person behind the village chief.

The village chief and Aunt Zhang were wondering when they saw that Lin Xi's attitude towards Zhuang Hongmei was not right. After hearing this, the village chief moved a step aside to reveal the person who was following him.

"Lin Xi, let me introduce to you. This is Village Chief Sun of Erdao Village, your original village. He has been the village chief for more than 20 years. He knows everyone in the village and will never admit a mistake."

Then he pointed to another slightly younger man and said: "This is a messenger from the boss. He has brought a certificate of birthplace, which can verify and prove your aunt's identity."

The village chief was actually a little puzzled, "Your aunt looks a bit like your mother at first glance. You don't need this to be sure. But your aunt said she wanted to put your mind at ease, so she must bring her."

Lin Xi looked at the two people.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Lin Xi felt that the two people seemed a little... awkward?

What Lin Xi didn't see was that Shen Chen, who was beside her, looked at the two people expressionlessly and frowned slightly.

The messenger quickly stood up, took out a thin folder from his sleeve, and said: "This is the place of origin that can prove your identity. Madam Shen, I have checked this person's customs clearance documents. Although he came from a distant place, , the identity verification is a bit troublesome, but the document is not fake and I am indeed a good person."

When Village Chief Sun saw that the messenger was so polite, he thought of something and said in panic: "That's right! The old villager has only two daughters. Because they were born from the same child, their looks are very similar. I still remember your mother. She looks very similar to her. She is indeed your aunt."

The weirdness in Lin Xi's heart became even more obvious.

Seeing that Village Chief Sun and the envoy had already proven her identity, Zhuang Hongmei wiped her tears and said: "Xier, you may believe that I am your aunt now? I came back from thousands of miles to find my relatives, and I don't know how much hardship I have gone through. But you It really chills me to be so suspicious of me. But it doesn't matter, I don't blame you, we will live a good life as a family from now on."

Lin Xi was speechless and said: "I feel chilled to you? Who is chilling? How did I hear that Auntie, you ran away with a merchant when you were young and took away all the money in the family. When my grandpa and the others died of illness because they had no money to see a doctor, you Do you think they were disappointed? Before my parents passed away, did you think they were disappointed?"

Zhuang Hongmei's expression froze.

Feeling that the eyes of the four people next to her had changed, she quickly said, "Xier, you have misunderstood my aunt! At that time... there was indeed a merchant, but my aunt did not go with him, she was deceived by him!"

Shen Chen said calmly: "Since you were deceived, have you reported anything to the official in the past few years?"

"I……"

Zhuang Hongmei's face became even stiffer.

Lin Xi almost laughed and said: "Yes, you can come back to find your relatives. It can be seen that your actions are not monitored by anyone. Have you reported it to the official? Has the vendor who lied to you been caught?"

Zhuang Hongmei swallowed her saliva and said: "Xi'er, my aunt really cares about your mother. Remember to come back to look for her. She has no time to think about other things."

Shen Chen said: "It doesn't matter, the official is by your side right now."

He glanced at the messenger.

Chao Zhi took a step forward instinctively, "Yes, I'm here. Do you want to report to the official?"

Zhuang Hongmei: "..."

Lin Xi calmly added fuel to the fire: "At that time, all the money in my mother's family was gone. It can be seen that the merchant was also trying to make a fortune. Auntie, you must not let him go, and you must recover the money. You have been raped by him If you trick him into going there, you must know where he is, right? This is really great, it takes no effort at all."

Zhuang Hongmei's expression was almost twisted into a ball. She forced out an ugly smile and said: "To be honest, the vendor had passed away a long time ago, and I was able to escape back. Xi'er, we finally met each other, let's not talk about it. Let’s talk about what happened to my sister and you over the years.”

The village chief and Aunt Zhang looked at each other and said, "Lin Xi, we don't want to disturb your family reunion, so we're going back first."

The messenger followed closely behind, "Young man still has official duties to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

Village Chief Sun said angrily: "I still have a lot of things to do, please take your time and chat."

After a while, they all left, leaving only Lin Xi, Shen Chen and Zhuang Hongmei.
