She Only Cares About Cultivation

Chapter 1623 - 1068: Heroine of the Republic 42

In all seriousness, the probability of someone having the same name is not impossible.

It’s just..., "Your mother is also named Cai Wenfang? Isn’t that a bit too much of a coincidence?"

At the time, it was indeed registered as Cai Wenfang in the mother’s column, and An Yi had nothing to say.

"This... is really too coincidental, but I truly don’t know them, and they don’t know me. We can’t forcefully tie the two families together, right?"

Cai Wenfang fled to the mountains in Sichuan Province due to the war back in those days. It’s fate to say that back then, Yishui was sold off to that area, wasn’t it?

Round and round, her family surprisingly also went there and ended up living for many years.

After Japan surrendered, they had thought about coming back. But with the long journey, money, grain, and time being big issues for them,

they ended up delaying for all these years. They had already learned about Yi Dacheng’s death from the local government earlier on.

They just couldn’t come immediately, so they delayed for so many years. Information wasn’t well-distributed during that era. An Yi’s family connection issue wasn’t recorded over there, so they didn’t know. If it wasn’t for the whole family coming to sweep Yi Dacheng’s grave, they wouldn’t have found out from the office that Yi Dacheng had a recognized daughter.

Back then, Cai Wenfang was so excited, thinking they really found her daughter Yishui. But who would’ve known, the girl in front of them wasn’t their Yishui at all!

"Who on earth are you, and why do you claim my Dacheng as your father? What’s your intention? Do you want to claim veteran benefits and fight for things? I heard you even leveraged this identity to have someone build you a house, didn’t you? Where’s the house? Quickly take us to see it, or you can return the house to us, otherwise, this matter won’t end between us."

An Yi was speechless too; if it weren’t for this family, obviously sponging off of others, she wouldn’t even dare to recognize them. But now, how did she become the one accused of taking advantage? Thankfully, the comrades from the Military Support Office stepped out to explain.

"You misunderstood. That house wasn’t something she proactively asked for, nor did she rely on the veteran status for us to build it. Think about it thoroughly, with so many veteran families, who did we build houses for? The reason we helped this girl settle here was because of her outstanding contributions to the government. As to what those contributions were, it’s unnecessary to disclose to you; all you need to know is that she didn’t gain any benefits from Yi Dacheng for the house. Besides, her father is also named Yi Dacheng; are you sure they’re not the same person? What if...,"

Cai Wenfang pointed at An Yi’s face and sarcastically said, "Comrade, there’s no ’what if.’ Look at her face; where’s any trace of our Yi family’s genes? It’s impossible for her to be our family member. We don’t care what contributions she’s made. She lives alone in such a big house, and it’s just not right. Now, there are two ways to resolve this: First, help us settle here. The Northeast is our home. What did we, a whole family, come back for if not to return to our roots? Second, she can’t just pretend to be our Dacheng’s daughter all these years for nothing. Either she vacates the house for us, or she must give money and grain, be filial and support us in our old age."

Cai Wenfang’s words left An Yi dumbstruck. She didn’t expect that the gentle and virtuous mother in the original memory would be worn down by time and reality like this.

Indeed, from both emotion and reason, as the task taker, she should provide for Cai Wenfang in her old age. Not being found before was one thing, but now that they’ve been found, shouldn’t she provide for them?

But is it about providing for only her? No, this is about supporting her whole family.

She couldn’t stomach such a shady deal. Even if the task would lose points, she didn’t want to do it. Rather than being entangled with such a family, she’d prefer to take in a few more children.

After all, raising children well, they understand gratitude; these people, however, are just here to benefit.

As Cai Wenfang’s biological daughter, ignoring everything may seem unreasonable. After much thought, An Yi made a decision.

"Since Aunt Cai said so, I have nothing more to say. After all, it’s true I’ve mistaken the family connection. But my residence is still registered at that house. Here’s what we’ll do. Give me half a month. After Labor Day, how about allowing the comrades from the Military Support Office to accompany you for a house inspection? During this time, I will move, and transfer my residence registration, would that work for you?"
