Chapter 253: Jiang Xun’s Visit (4) (1/2)
Jiang Xun nodded. “That’s right. He really looks alike. I don’t know if that child is from somewhere near the Qing River Brigade. An auntie carried him to the Gu family to treat his sickness. He is running a fever.”
Jiang Ping looked at the two little ones. “Can it be Mu Mu’s relatives? Uh… Relatives from uncle’s family?”
The expression in Jiang Jing and Mu Mu’s eyes became serious instantly and they could not help but look expectant.
Both of them did not have any parents and were very young thus they did not have any sense of security and really wanted to have family members.
It was fine even if it was just a relative!
Jiang Xun frowned as he never heard that there’s anyone in his uncle’s family. His uncle seemed to have said that he was saved by Jiang Xun’s aunt back then and don’t remember who else is left in his family.
Jiang Xun knew nothing about this and really could not ascertain if that was Mu Mu’s relative.
Mu Mu immediately rushed to the corner where they slept in and took out a photograph hidden under the pillow. “Cousin, Father’s photograph. If they are Father’s relatives, they would definitely recognize Father.”
After all, Mu Mu was only five years old and really longed to have a family. He no longer remembered how his mother looked and the only picture he could see was his father’s photograph.
Jiang Xun’s smile turned bitter when he saw the expectant look in the child’s eyes.
Jiang Jing pulled Mu Mu over and said, “Mu Mu, hold your photograph properly. Don’t let it touch the fire. We only have this one photograph.”
Mu Mu turned around and tilted his head upward to look at his brother. “Elder brother, are you not happy? It’s Father’s kin! We may have a relative already!”
Jiang Jing forced a smile.
Of course, he was happy to have a relative but would they acknowledge them?
