Chapter 1691: 1627 Already Dead

Chapter 1691: Chapter 1627 Already Dead

Chiang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh.

“Why are you so anxious? I said others like you, not that you like others.”

Xu Linjiang wiped nonexistent sweat from his forehead and said, “You have no idea, your aunt is always watching me.”

“Well, who’s to blame for you being so handsome?”

“You little girl, even you are teasing me.”

Chiang Songhai chuckled beside them.

However, seeing Ge Dejun’s family living well now, he was quite pleased too.

Besides, this Peace Town Siyang Village is ultimately their roots, with relatives here. In the future, if they want to return to their roots, there won’t be a complete lack of people to connect with.

Thus, Chiang Songhai was glad to see Ge Dejun and Xu Linjiang’s family thriving here.

As they entered the village, people gradually greeted them.

However, there was a funny phenomenon: the first person to greet them in the village was actually Xu Linjiang.

“Little Xu, here already? Bringing such distinguished guests to see our secretary?”

After asking, the villagers recognized Chiang Songhai and almost stumbled.

“Oh my, isn’t this Uncle Songhai?”

“Is it Uncle Songhai?”

“Uncle Songhai looks so much younger, almost didn’t recognize him. So this must be Chiang Xiao?”

Chiang Songhai now not only had fewer wrinkles, but his brows were relaxed, his hair was black and shiny, his back was straight, even his clothes were different—truly unrecognizable at first glance.

And Chiang Xiao had completely grown up, making them even harder to recognize.

So when the two returned, it caused quite a stir.

Chiang Songhai now greeted villagers with ease, no longer feeling nervous, clearly more confident and optimistic.

The families they had good relations with came over to chat.

This took time, and when they arrived at Secretary Yao’s house, twenty minutes had passed.

It was the first time Chiang Xiao felt the enthusiasm of the Siyang village villagers.

It truly gave her a complex feeling.

Arriving at Secretary Yao’s house, Chiang Xiao directly stated the purpose of her visit.

Secretary Yao was taken aback.

“Really?” He looked at Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao nodded, “Actually, this could have been dealt with long ago, but I didn’t have the awareness before, and now it’s becoming a real inconvenience for me. You know, without this paperwork, whether filling out any documents in the future or answering questions, don’t I have to explain how to fill out the ‘mother’ column? If I say my mother is missing, people look at me strangely, and there are always questions about how she disappeared, whether we tried looking, if we didn’t find her.”

After over ten years missing, people in Siyang Village had already assumed Chiang Qingzhu was dead.

Hardly anyone thought a pretty young girl like her could run off and still be alive.

Secretary Yao thought it over and found it somewhat reasonable.

Previously, villagers who disappeared for years were also presumed dead, simply referred to as dead, but for Chiang Xiao in the big city, the parents section might be troublesome.

Secretary Yao also believed Chiang Qingzhu was certainly dead.

“I’ll make a call to the office to check.”

As a result of his inquiry, he returned with a strange expression and told them, “You haven’t checked about Qingzhu’s situation with us before, have you?”

Chiang Xiao paused slightly, “No, why?”

“The colleague responsible told me that in the household registration records, Chiang Qingzhu is listed as deceased.”

Pfft!

So, the ‘Chiang Qingzhu’ in the register is actually ‘deceased’?

Who handled this matter?
