Uncle Zhou nodded, then exchanged a look with Second Uncle Zhou, and called Huo Chen aside.
"It's time to settle some matters," Uncle Zhou said, looking at Huo Chen's weary face. "Your dad visited you, didn't he? Your mom was the pillar of that family. Without her, your dad would never have enjoyed such a good life back then.
Yet, less than half a year after your mom's passing, he brought your mom's good sister, Zhang Yuhua, into the family. Within half a year, she gave birth to your younger brother. Your Uncle and I have suspicions that your mother's death wasn't due to childbirth complications.
There may be other reasons, and whatever they are, your Uncle and I will find out the truth.
You must return to that home and take back what belongs to you. Only then will your mother rest in peace."
Huo Chen listened without much surprise. He had heard these things before, which was why he didn't want to go back.
