Chapter 2485: Chapter 2485: But No Child Was Lost!
"No, Clan Leader, please don’t tell Prince An Yang. We... we really never thought about reclaiming those two children. Back then, we couldn’t get enough to eat or wear, and we didn’t have the time or ability to find those two children. Now we don’t have the face to reclaim them again."
Daya’s Father looked at the Old Patriarch, wanting to leave, and hurriedly stopped him back, speaking with a face full of pain.
But when these words reached the Old Patriarch’s ears, they made him involuntarily frown.
What do you mean by not having the time or ability to look for them? He had already sent people to inquire household by household in the village; what does this have to do with searching? If the children were lost, they could just say they were theirs.
If not certain enough, they could first come and see if the children were really theirs.
Little children look nearly the same; maybe it’s hard to tell, but they would have the clothes the children had worn, right? They should be able to recognize if they are their own children’s clothes, shouldn’t they?
Is it impossible to come and recognize if they’re your own children?
"If the old man remembers correctly, someone went to your village to ask, right? You yourselves didn’t want the children, so don’t say to my old face that you had no time or ability to find them, it’s disgraceful!"
He looked at Daya’s Father with a very disapproving gaze and said in a deep voice.
"Exactly."
The Clan Leader’s son also nodded in agreement.
The person who went over there to inquire was a good brother of his, who definitely wouldn’t do a sloppy job of it. So, he must have asked household by household.
"He asked every house; your village didn’t lose any children!" he said angrily.
"How could that be?"
Daya’s Father was also full of shock. If someone had really come to ask, how could they not remember?
Even if the one being asked wasn’t his own son, he would hold onto a one in ten thousand chance and take a look, wouldn’t he? It couldn’t be that no one lost a child.
"Clan Leader, this is impossible. No one came to our village, absolutely not..." He stopped halfway through his words, suddenly unable to continue.
Had no one come to ask? Not exactly.
What if someone deliberately said no children were lost to brush people away?
Thinking of this possibility, he gnashed his teeth. That woman was really heartless; her own son, and she could just forget him like that?
Didn’t she think that people might also be unable to support a child and might sell or otherwise dispose of her child?
"Clan Leader, it must be that woman, it’s her!"
The Old Patriarch, at the pause in his words, had already figured it out.
He had seen it earlier, too. Big Sister clearly didn’t intend to bring the two children back but wanted to extort a sum of money from An Jiuyue.
"Ah, your family’s domestic matter, I shouldn’t interfere much. You handle it yourself." He shook his head, said one sentence, and then left directly.
"Dad, where are you going, I’ll go with you."
The Clan Leader’s son saw his father just walk away like that and quickly grabbed a hoe and followed him.
His father just mentioned going to find Prince An Yang, and that’s up in the mountains. Without some strength, you can’t make it up there, especially with his father’s age.
No way, he had to go along; what if something happened?
"That damned woman, see how I deal with her when I get back!" Daya’s Father cursed on the spot and, not bothering with the matters in the field, grabbed a hoe and hurried home.
