Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Chapter 685 - 0685: Brothers Meet 3_1



Guo Yan noted the surprise on his face and felt puzzled. "Why are you so excited?" she asked.

Wang Xinsheng abruptly remembered that he had never mentioned Lu Zhiyuan in detail to his wife. With no one else around, he spoke softly to her, "I think I’ve told you before that I have two sworn brothers, remember?"

"I remember, one is back home, and the other is Cheng Baoguo," said Guo Yan. "We often see Cheng Baoguo and his wife, aren’t they now transferred to their hometown to serve as the mayor? Although we haven’t been in contact much over the years, we still get bits of news from them. Who is the other brother back home? I’ve never heard you mention him, I thought he might have passed away."

During the war-ravaged era and the subsequent years marked by disaster and famine, many people perished, Guo Yan’s assumptions weren’t uncommon.

"It’s Xiaoxue’s father-in-law." Wang Xinsheng lowered his voice even further, detailing the whole story to her, "Wang Zhengguo, me, and the third brother, we all were study companions of our second brother. No one understands each other better than us. Back then, without the generosity of our second brother and his financial support when we left home, the lives that the third brother and I lead today might not have been possible."

Speaking to this point, Wang Xinsheng found himself lost in a flood of emotions, reminiscing about their days studying together.

After listening, Guo Yan pointed to his forehead mockingly, "What am I to say about you, Old Wang? You forgot to tell me about such an important matter! Where has your mind been? I wondered why you were so overly affectionate toward Xibao, I could understand if you liked him immediately, who wouldn’t love a child like Xibao? But your concern for his mother was incredibly detailed, giving them opportunities to meet former leaders, insisting that I take good care of Xiaoxue during her confinement period, you treated her almost no different than our own daughters-in-law. I was always cast in doubt, wondering was it because you two were from the same hometown? Now look, our two families have become so close. No wonder Xiaoxue calls us ’uncle and aunt’ with such warmth and trusts you to take care of Xibao."

Wang Xinsheng scratched his head, "The higher the position in power, the more their actions can have wide-reaching implications, attracting attention. Given the Lu family’s situation, we maintained no visible contact. Years have trickled by, more than thirty of them. The matter has been suppressed in my heart for so long that I forgot. I thought I had mentioned this to you before, but in reality, there wasn’t any."
