After Marrying the Officer Chapter 735: The Person that is Mother Xia

"Chuyi’s mother has been in poor health ever since Chuyi’s father died," Uncle Xia said. "So, she hasn’t really done much around the house." "However, with the military pension, life has been manageable."

"Chief Ou, you need not worry. After Chuyi marries Huo Commander, Chuyi’s mother will still live in Ling County and won’t disturb the young couple." Uncle Xia treated Ou Jun as if he were soone sent by the Huo family to gather information, speaking to him earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Ou Jun was slightly taken aback.

How did the conversation suddenly turn to marriage... and calling them a young couple?

"Uncle, you’ve misunderstood !" Ou Jun hurriedly explained, "That’s not what I an..."

Although he had co under the pretense of Huo Shiqian’s na, he had no intention of urging marriage.

Absolutely not.

Before Ou Jun could finish, Uncle Xia waved his hand and said, "Chief Ou, you don’t need to explain, I understand."

"Commander Huo is sowhat aware of Chuyi’s mother’s situation," Uncle Xia sighed and continued, "The relationship between Chuyi and her mother... is indeed not very good."

Not very good? Ou Jun felt a shock in his heart upon hearing this, and his brows furrowed.

Chuyi and her "mother" had a poor relationship?

Why would the widow of a martyr have a bad relationship with her only daughter?

The depth of the story was certainly worth delving into.

Ou Jun did not interrupt, but nodded imdiately, indicating that Uncle Xia should continue.

Seeing this, Uncle Xia also nodded and continued, "Therefore, Chuyi’s mother will live in Ling County with Chengzong in the future. Chengzong will take care of her in her old age..."

"Ah, by the way, Chengzong is Chuyi’s brother." Fearing that Ou Jun might not know who Xia Chengzong was, Uncle Xia casually ntioned it.

Hearing this, Ou Jun blurted out, "Chuyi’s brother?"

Seeing Ou Jun’s reaction, Uncle Xia realized that Ou Jun truly was unaware.

"Yes, Chuyi’s brother," Uncle Xia quickly clarified, "But not by blood. He was adopted from the main family into the second branch."

After explaining, Uncle Xia sighed and said, "Chief Ou, don’t be deceived by the fact that Chengzong was adopted into the second branch."

"But this child is kind-hearted, treats Chuyi’s mother well, and has a very good relationship with Chuyi, just like a real brother!"

Uncle Xia’s tone was full of contentnt.

A non-biological, adopted brother...

Unable to help himself, Ou Jun coughed and said to Uncle Xia, "Uncle, let’s talk about Chuyi’s mother."

Although the identity of "Jiao Jiao" had not yet been confird, Ou Jun still felt rather complex emotions upon hearing about Chuyi having a brother.

Uncle Xia’s expression beca slightly surprised when he heard Ou Jun’s words.

He didn’t understand why Ou Jun was so concerned about Chuyi’s mother.

"Chuyi’s mother..." Uncle Xia hesitated for a mont, not sure how to elaborate.

"What’s there to hide?" At this point, Aunt Xia stood up.

Aunt Xia rolled her eyes at her husband and then addressed Ou Jun, "Chief Ou, I’m not afraid to tell you the truth, Chuyi’s relationship with her mother is not just bad, it’s extrely bad!"

Aunt Xia’s face showed dissatisfaction as she spoke very directly, "Maybe you won’t understand, but I still have to say, Chuyi’s mother is truly unfit to be a parent!"

When Aunt Xia ntioned Mother Xia, her tone was full of disdain and even had a hint of anger.
