Chapter 290: Back To Your Positions?
Shao Le happily replied: “It’s Xiao Nan, I’m here.”
Xiao Nan dashed in a few steps, standing at the doorway, panting as he said: “Brother Shao Le, hurry back home. A man your age has come to your house. He, he says he’s the real Shao Le. You and him were switched by his mother…”
Lu Qiaoge was suddenly startled.
True and false young ladies?
Oh, no, true and false young masters?
Lu Qiaoge quickly looked at Shao Le’s expression and found him still smiling. The others were too. Sister Hua smiled and teased: “Stinky kid, are you trying to trick Brother Shao Le out of his candy? You really dare to talk nonsense. Be careful or Brother Shao Le will kick you…”
Sister Qiao picked up a piece of candy and put it in his hand, smiling as she said: “Today is Brother Shao Le’s big happy day. Don’t tease him like this. Wait until his wedding day to make a fuss. It’s not allowed today.”
Shao Le gently patted his back: “You stinky kid, tell me, what mischief have you gotten into again? Afraid of getting beaten, so you want me to cover for you.”
Chen Zhi nearby also covered her mouth and laughed.
Although she and Shao Le had been introduced to date by someone, they had known each other before.
He was Director Hao’s nephew.
Director Hao was also an old factory director, but he had a very good reputation. Although Shao Le was Director Hao’s nephew, he got along well with them and never bullied anyone with his status.
And after she and Shao Le started dating, their relationship had always been harmonious.
The only conflict was because of that incident with Lu Qiaoge.
But that time had nothing to do with Lu Qiaoge; it was their own problem.
Lu Qiaoge didn’t hold it against them, and she was scolded by her family for not using her brain.
Later, she and Shao Le never had conflicts and she wouldn’t get jealous randomly, after all, Lu Qiaoge’s partner was Qin Hengzhi.
She also liked Shao Le’s personality, cheerful and optimistic.
She whispered to the boy: “Xiao Nan, don’t joke around. Let’s go back first.”
Xiao Nan was still a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old boy, without so many twists and turns. He wasn’t sent to deliver a message either; he had purely seen it and felt something big was wrong, so he ran to find Brother Shao Le.
He stamped his foot and anxiously said: “It’s true, really true. That person looks a lot like your Aunt Shao. He… anyway, hurry back. A lot of people are gathered downstairs at your house now…”
Everyone saw this and realized it didn’t seem fake.
They all widened their eyes in shock.
Xiao Nan said: “That man said his mother told him before she died, to come to the military factory to find his biological father and mother…”
Shao Le finally stopped smiling. His face was a bit pale, as if he hadn’t reacted, like his mind was blank.
After a moment, before anyone else could speak, he hurriedly ran toward the door.
Chen Zhi was stunned, her heart beating uneasily.
Shao Le ran a few steps before reacting, turned back to pull Chen Zhi, and they hurried out, with Xiao Nan following. Soon, the three figures disappeared from everyone’s sight.
The general office fell silent for a moment. No one spoke. The previously joyful atmosphere had completely vanished.
In this quiet moment, Lu Qiaoge called Xiao Cangcang over and had it follow Shao Le and the others.
From Xiao Nan’s appearance, it didn’t seem like he was lying or pranking.
Actually, even the people at Xiangyang Neighborhood Committee hadn’t encountered something like this.
And now without paternity tests, how could they confirm the man who came was the Shao family’s biological son?
Besides, in rural areas now, people rarely went to the hospital to give birth; mostly at home, unless special circumstances like twins, then to the town or county town hospital.
But if there was no solid evidence, would that man have come?
Since he came, there must be a reason.
Sister Hua stopped smiling and seriously said: “Let’s not talk about it outside. We still don’t know the situation.”
“Yeah, yeah, what if that person came to randomly claim kinship and make trouble?”
“But if it’s real, what will Shao Le do? This home isn’t his, he and Chen Zhi have already registered, they’re a couple. What about his job?”
Lu Qiaoge said: “How does this affect his job? It only affects his identity as the Shao family son, not his identity as a staff member at our work unit.”
Right, that’s the reason. Everyone suddenly understood.
They had been a bit anxious earlier and got twisted up.
Shao Le didn’t get in through connections or via Director Hao into the neighborhood committee.
He got in by his own skill through the exam.
Everyone discussed for a long time but got nowhere.
It was two hours later when Xiao Cangcang returned.
Xiao Cangcang said: 【Little Master, Shao Le’s mother suddenly remembered that after her son was born, although she only glanced at him, she vaguely remembered a birthmark on his butt. But young Shao Le didn’t have one, so she didn’t think much of it. But this man from the rural area does.
They went to the hospital to test blood types. That man’s blood type matches the Shao family parents’, but he has the same blood type as Shao Le. That man said the specific situation is like this.
He’s a member of Manshan Commune. His mother went to the city to give birth, at Jiangcheng First People’s Hospital, and was in the same ward as Shao Le’s mother, giving birth the same day.
That woman was in poor health and thought she wouldn’t live long. She envied Shao Zhou, Shao Le’s biological father, for having good conditions, so she suddenly decided to switch them, planning to switch back when the son was seven or eight.
At seven or eight, he’d be easier to raise.
Unexpectedly, that child was very smart, sensible, and well-behaved. Originally her husband and mother-in-law treated her badly, but because of this child, they treated her better.
She delayed the switch and knew her biological son living in the military factory would definitely have a better life than here. She kept delaying until a few days ago. Seeing her health failing, she wanted her biological son to see her one last time.
Then she told the family the truth. Unexpectedly, after saying it, her furious husband slapped her, and then she passed away.
The current situation is that this Zhao Yonggang who came, although smart as a child, didn’t continue studying later. Now he’s a member of Wagouzi Brigade, already married with two children, and has come to hope everyone returns to their rightful places.】
Lu Qiaoge thought to herself, what rightful places? Shao Le is now a cadre at the neighborhood committee, formal staff. Even if unrelated to the Shao family, he’s still a staff member there.
But Zhao Yonggang is innocent too.
His life shouldn’t have been like this, but it was forcibly changed by that selfish woman.
What more could be said?
The next day Shao Le continued taking leave. After Lu Qiaoge got off work at noon, the left and right neighbors all knew.
They all asked Lu Qiaoge one after another. Lu Qiaoge just smiled and said Shao Le didn’t go to work, she knew nothing.
But actually, now Zhao Yonggang and his family of four had been driven out from the rural area.
It could be said Zhao Yonggang’s father had his own cunning.
He figured since everyone knew, Zhao Yonggang couldn’t stay in the rural area or provide for his old age.
So he declared the homestead and things at home were all for his biological son, to leave for his biological son.
Telling Zhao Yonggang to go to the city find his biological father.
And at this time, the Chen family was also troubled.
Chen Zhi’s mother said: “If Shao Le is taken back, won’t Shao Le’s biological father come cling to our family? Sounds like no good from the start. How will you live then?”
