He Yinhua gently raised her trembling hand and stroked her daughter's face: "Xuanxuan, seeing that you are doing well, I have no regrets in this life."

She sighed softly, her eyes flashing with pain and reluctance: "Mom knows you are filial, but Mom doesn't want to be a burden to you. Mom wants to leave quietly by herself."

"My brother is still alive, don't you want to see him?"

He Yinhua was shocked. "You, which brother of yours?"

"Mom, do you know that my twin brother is still alive?"

"How...how could this be?" He Yinhua was at a loss, pacing back and forth in a panic. "Xuanxuan, you must be lying to me, right?"

"Mom, you said my brother died at birth. Think carefully, did you see him after you gave birth?"

He Yinhua sat in the chair, pressing her scalp.

She fell into a coma while giving birth, and when she woke up, Yang Shuying said that the baby was stillborn and had been lost.

What happened?

What exactly happened?

He Yinhua felt dry mouth and throat, and her chest felt tight and she was short of breath.

“My brother was given away by Yang Shuying as soon as he was born. Mom, you’ve been deceived by her.”

"Why? Why would she do this? I treated her like an older sister, why would she do this?"

He Yinhua shook her head repeatedly, tears streaming down her face: "Yang Shuying, why did she do this to me?"

Jiang Xuan pressed down on her shoulder, "Mom, don't get agitated. Some people are just inherently bad. I heard that my brother is in Ningzhou right now."

He Yinhua grabbed her hand: "Xuanxuan, did you see him?"

Jiang Xuan didn't know Lin Che's thoughts, so she could only try to appease He Yinhua for the time being.

She knew that once a person has something to hold onto, they will keep living.

She wanted her to live a little longer, even just one more day.

“I haven’t found him yet, but I’m trying my best to find him. And Mom, I’ve bought a house near Ningzhou University. The landlord will be able to finish preparing it in the next couple of days. The house is on the first floor, so you won’t have to climb the stairs. You can move in there and never have to stay in a guesthouse again.”

"I will try my best to find my brother during this time. Mom, you must have faith that our family will be reunited."

He Yinhua burst into tears.

What terrible things did she do in her past life?

The two children, one was given away shortly after birth, and the other was mistreated from a young age.

I don't know what kind of family they are, or whether their son has been abused.

Seemingly sensing her thoughts, Jiang Xuan said, "Mom, don't overthink it. My brother is a boy, and that family will definitely treat him well. Don't be sad anymore. Aunt and the others are still outside. Let's go out."

As she spoke, Jiang Xuan took a damp towel and carefully wiped He Yinhua's eyes.

“Your mood can also affect your condition. In order to find your brother as soon as possible, you have to be happy every day.”

He Yinhua nodded.

night.

Jiang Xuan lay in Lu Shengye's arms and told him about her brother.

Lu Shengye was shocked. "Yang Shuying's behavior constitutes human trafficking, and she must be punished by law."

Jiang Xuan wasn't very familiar with the laws of that period, and didn't know if this was considered a crime.

Now that Lu Shengye had said so, she felt more confident.

“She’s wicked to the core, I can’t let her get away with this. Shengye, I can get Yang Shujun to write this statement, and the Lin family too, but I don’t know if they’ll cooperate. Besides that, what other materials do I need to prepare?”

Lu Shengye patted her shoulder and kissed her forehead: "It's okay, just focus on taking care of Auntie, leave this to me."

Yang Shuying never expected that this incident from many years ago would suddenly be brought up again.

That day, she was at home, furious because her son's engagement had been called off.

Jiang Yonggui lost his job, and his fiancée, Wu Li, immediately broke off the engagement.

"Such a shallow person, it's a good thing he didn't enter the Jiang family. Marrying someone like that would be a misfortune for the Jiang family."

“Yonggui, don’t be angry. You’re just temporarily out of work, not out of work for life. Didn’t your Aunt Wang say that she’ll help you look for a job?”

Frustrated and upset, Jiang Yonggui slammed the door and stormed out.

Yang Shuying had just finished using the restroom when two police officers came in.

At the same time, other villagers gathered at the Jiang family's door, wanting to see what had happened.

"Comrade Yang Shuying, you are suspected of a human trafficking case. Please come with us."

The neighbors looked at each other and whispered among themselves.

"She's a human trafficker? That's impossible."

"I thought something was wrong. The police must have made a mistake. Let's go."

Yang Shuying was stunned for a moment. "Police officers, are you sure you're not mistaken? I'm just an honest farmer, not a human trafficker. How could I be involved in human trafficking?"

“Yes, comrades, you must have made a mistake,” Jiang Qiutang said.

"Nineteen years ago, Comrade Jiang Chunting's wife, Comrade He Yinhua, gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Did you and your brother Yang Shujun abduct and sell that boy? Is that true?"

Yang Shuying was shocked. She had thought of this countless times, but she never expected it to be this. Cold sweat instantly covered her forehead.

The neighbors who were about to leave turned back after hearing about it.

"What happened? Wasn't that baby stillborn?"

“Yes, I remember Yinhua saying that the baby was stillborn. How could she have trafficked a stillborn baby?”

"Didn't Yinhua know that it was her own child?"

"I heard from Yinhua that she seemed to have fainted at the time."

"Oh my god, does that mean it's true?"

"That's so immoral! Secretly giving someone's son away, aren't they afraid of being struck by lightning?"

"Yinhua is so pitiful, sigh."

Yang Shuying composed herself. "Officer, my sister-in-law did give birth to twins, but the first one was stillborn. My sister-in-law knew this. I just helped her get rid of that child. Who is the heartless person who harmed me? I am truly innocent."

The taller policeman said sternly, "You're still trying to deny it? If we didn't have evidence, would we be here looking for you? Come on, let's talk at the police station."

Yang Shuying's legs were too weak to walk, and she was eventually carried away by the police.

She saw Yang Shujun as soon as she arrived at the police station.

She initially thought Yang Shujun had also been arrested, but soon she learned that Yang Shujun had confessed on her own initiative.

He betrayed her.

It's hard to guard against a thief within your own ranks!

Enraged, Yang Shuying picked up an enamel mug and smashed it on Yang Shujun, yelling, "So it was you! How could you be so mean?"

The policeman shouted, "Behave yourself."

Yang Shujun gently brushed the water off her clothes. "Sister, if you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. You've committed many sins, and your retribution has come."

"Yang Shujun, you're involved in this too. Do you think you can get away with it?"

"I will take responsibility for my actions, you don't need to worry about it."
