Seeing that things were going badly, Yun Que'er quickly grabbed Yun Fu Jin and ran.
It wasn't that she had just given hope to Da Qiang's family and then immediately dashed their hopes. Nor was she trying to run away and leave Da Qiang's family to clean up the mess. She just wanted to figure out what was going on.
Yun Que'er was afraid that someone might catch up and interrupt her train of thought, so she dragged Yun Fu Jin all the way at a full - speed run.
They didn't stop until they reached an empty fire escape, out of breath.
"E...elder brother, what's going on?"
Yun Fu Jin had a blank look on his face. He shook his head somewhat dazedly.
"I don't know either."
But judging from Yun Fu Jin's expression, he clearly believed that the Wang family must be up to something.
But birthmarks don't lie. Could it be that they were specially forged?
Right! Why couldn't they be forged?
Yun Que'er suddenly raised her head. "I get it. Their family must have made preparations in advance! They were worried that the truth would be exposed, so they simply presented the evidence first. In this way, even if Da Qiang's family suspects them, they'll have something to say!"
Having a sudden epiphany, Yun Que'er was about to run back immediately to tell Da Qiang her new discovery.
But at this moment, Yun Fu Jin suddenly grabbed her. "Xiao Que'er, don't make things worse!"
"Make things worse?" Yun Que'er tilted her head in surprise. "How can this be making things worse? If we don't clarify things now, Da Qiang will be wrongly accused! Anyway, the situation is already in a mess. What's the harm in making it a bit messier?"
"You don't understand!" Yun Fu Jin got anxious and held Yun Que'er tightly, not letting her go.
Yun Que'er couldn't figure out what she didn't understand. If there were any hidden secrets in this matter, then Yun Fu Jin should tell her first. At least Yun Que'er needed to know what was going on before deciding whether to tell Da Qiang what she knew.
"Elder brother, if you really know something, please tell me." Yun Que'er said seriously with a straight face. "This is not a trivial matter. After all, someone really died. Their family would say anything and do anything for money. Now it's just in the hospital. If they really go to the police station later, not only will Brother Da Qiang have to pay compensation, but he might even be imprisoned for a couple of years. Then his whole life will be ruined!"
How could Yun Fu Jin not understand this?
Wasn't Teacher Li wrongly accused back then?
If Teacher Li hadn't come to find the Yun family after getting out of prison, he might really have had no will to live and would have had no choice but to die.
But having managed the family for so many years, Yun Fu Jin first understood the principle of protecting himself before doing other things.
He wasn't uneducated either. Having followed Yun Mo Tan, he knew a bit of the law.
Although this was clearly a frame - up, if the charge was somehow established, their family might even be accused of covering up and perjury. Wouldn't that be like a disaster falling from the sky when they were just sitting at home?
Yun Fu Jin hesitated, not knowing whether he should say it or not.
Yun Que'er got impatient. "Elder brother! This matter really can't be glossed over like this! Moreover, Brother Da Qiang has a good relationship with our family. Are you really willing to watch them be harassed to death by the Wang family?"
Yun Fu Jin trembled violently. It was indeed the case. A good family was living a prosperous life and might have a long way to go in the future, but now it was about to be ruined like this.
Although it wasn't their own family's matter, Yun Fu Jin really felt indignant for Da Qiang and his family.
After a long while, Yun Fu Jin sighed. He squatted down and held Yun Que'er's hand.
"You don't know. Their father has been gone for a long time."
"I know." Yun Que'er nodded. "Didn't you tell me on the way when you brought me to the wedding? Their family only has a mother, no father."
"No, that's not what I mean." Yun Fu Jin shook his head. "Their father didn't die. He left. He's no longer in this town."
Yun Que'er was completely confused. "So they got divorced? Divorce is normal. But what does this have to do with this matter?"
Yun Fu Jin took a deep breath and then continued to talk to Yun Que'er.
"The problem is that their father left because he got involved with another woman. When he left, he took away the elder twin sister, Wang Shu Fen. It was only last year that the elder sister came back."
As soon as Yun Que'er heard this, she immediately understood the logic.
So that's how it was...
Since Wang Shu Fen had never lived with her mother and younger sister since childhood, her relationship with them wasn't very deep. After coming back, she might be disliked by her family, so naturally she became a usable target.
No wonder Yun Fu Jin's expression changed immediately after hearing the conversation between Wang Shu Juan and that scoundrel. Because he knew more than Yun Que'er, he could react faster.
"Isn't this evidence!" Yun Que'er said excitedly. "Since that's the case, we should tell Brother Da Qiang even more!"
"Don't be in a hurry. Listen to me." Yun Fu Jin grabbed Yun Que'er to stop her from running around. "But I heard from our father that it wasn't their father who had an affair with someone else back then. It was their own mother."
Yun Que'er felt as if struck by lightning. Another story of frame - up?
"And then?" Yun Que'er asked.
"This is just a rumor. I don't know if it's true. But father told me that at that time, their mother wanted to be with that man but couldn't find a reason to get divorced, so she set up a trap. She got their father drunk and then found a woman..."
Yun Fu Jin's face changed. He felt it wasn't appropriate to tell these things to a young girl, so he just glossed over it.
"Anyway, they caught him red - handed on the spot. Their father left the house with nothing. Originally, their father wanted to take both children away. I don't know how many twists and turns there were in the middle, but in the end he only took one away, and the other was raised by their mother. But later that man didn't marry her either. I guess she was deceived. But Xiao Que'er, you have to understand."
Yun Fu Jin looked at Yun Que'er seriously. "She tried to gain an advantage but instead suffered a loss. But judging from her methods when she was young, she's not an ordinary person. This time she's made such a big deal for money. So no matter what we say, they may have reasons to refute. I'm not unwilling to help Da Qiang or save him from this misery, but we're not in a more just position than them. You can say a thousand words, but she'll have ten thousand words to retort. So it's not that we can't do it, but even if we do, we may not get a good outcome."
