Rebirth in the 90s: The Long Road to Finding a Son

Yuan Jie, pregnant with her second child, fell into a coma after an accident. While her beloved Sun Aimin did everything to save her life, she entered a long and strange dream. In the dream, her fa...

Chapter 124 Strange Things

It took Sun Xiaohao half a day to successfully win the favor of the Qian family, with the exception of Yu Min, of course. However, there was no need for her to show any dissatisfaction with a child.

Soon, the news that the Qian family had a new tree spread. Old Mrs. Qian was not surprised by the villagers' curiosity and said that the lost tree was sent to the Qian family by someone who pretended to be her grandson.

No one knew what was going on, but they used this new thing happening in the Qian family as a topic of conversation after dinner.

Shen Nan naturally knew the news. She secretly went to see the new little tree. That face was exactly the same as Zhan Jinhua. Thinking of Zhan Jinhua, she felt an uncontrollable hatred in her heart.

Originally, she only suspected Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou about her son's disappearance, but she had no evidence, so she could only make a fuss when they occasionally returned to Luojiagou.

However, ever since she learned that Luo Dajiang might have been abducted together with the son bought by Zhan Jinhua, she was 100% certain that the disappearance of her child was closely related to Qian Laoer and his wife.

In order to get more information about Qian Jingui who was working away from home and the lost child, she saved some money in the past few years and spent about 3,000 yuan to install a landline phone last year.

She used her home phone to call the number Sun Aimin had left. Yuan Rui answered.

"Hello, who is this?" Yuan Rui asked after answering the phone.

Shen Nan said on the other end of the phone: “Hello, I’m looking for Sun Aimin, can you let him answer the phone?”

In the past few days, the Yuan family has already known that their child was switched, but they pretended not to know. They told everyone they knew that Sun Xiaohao was missing and asked everyone to keep an eye out for him.

Yuan Rui replied, "He's in the hospital now. If you have anything to say, you can tell me. I'll tell him later!"

Shen Nan hesitated, worried that telling the truth would ruin Sun Aimin's plan, so he just said, "Is your child missing? Now there is news. When he comes back, you can ask him to contact me by calling this number!"

Yuan Rui said, "It's the same if you tell me the specific situation. I'm their family member. If the information is confirmed, we can arrange for someone to go see the child right away!"

As a result, these two sentences were confused due to information gap.

Yuan Rui couldn't reveal the family's situation, wanting to let the other party know they were desperately looking for their child. Shen Nan, believing Sun Aimin and his wife were still keeping it a secret from their family, didn't dare to speak the truth either. She simply said, "My last name is Shen. Ask him to call me back when he gets back!" before quickly hanging up.

When Yuan Rui arrived at the hospital ward, Old Man Yuan and Sun Aimin were both in the ward. Old Mrs. Yuan and Sun Aimin's sister-in-law had gone back to cook for Yuan Jie.

Ever since Sun Xiaohao went missing, Sun Aimin gave up the lease of the house he had already sold and rented a cleaner short-term house next to the hospital. The old couple also moved in.

In recent days, in addition to taking care of Yuan Jie and the child in the hospital, the family members have been cleaning the house at home and keeping it spotless so that Yuan Jie can have confinement after childbirth.

Yuan Rui told Sun Aimin about the phone call she received today. When Sun Aimin heard that the other party's surname was Shen, he guessed that the caller must be Shen Nan.

He briefly explained the situation to his family members in the ward and quickly ran to the public telephone booth downstairs in the hospital to make a call.

After Shen Nan answered the phone, he told Sun Aimin about the new child in the Qian family.

Sun Aimin asked, "Sister Shen, do you know what the child looks like? What clothes did he wear when he came to the Qian family?"

Shen Nan replied: “I took a look from a distance, and she was wearing a yellow sportswear suit, with long pants and a short-sleeved top. She looked very similar to Zhan Jinhua.”

After hearing this, Sun Aimin was basically certain that the child was Sun Xiaohao.

He then asked, "Has the child mentioned us since arriving in the village? He's very smart and knows a lot about our family. If the police found him after he got lost, they would definitely ask them to send him back."

Our family hasn't received any news from the police yet, nor have we made any anonymous calls to the police about the Qian family's missing child..."

When Shen Nan heard this, he also felt a little confused and said, “What is the name of the child from Qian Laoer’s family in your family?”

Sun Aimin replied: "Xiaohao, Sun Xiaohao!"

Shen Nan said: "This is even more strange. I heard from the villagers that the police sent the child to Qian's house that day, and the old woman said she didn't know the child and asked the police to take him away.

As a result, the child identified himself with the Qian family. He didn't call his parents' names "you two" but "Zhan Jinhua" and "Qian Jindou", and called the old lady "Grandma" all the time.

Later, she kept the child, probably because the child looked like Qian Laoer's wife. And the child himself said his name was Qian Xiaoshu. Now the old woman is saying in the village that the previous Xiaoshu was an imposter and this is the real Xiaoshu.

Sun Aimin became increasingly confused as he heard this. He had thought that little troublemaker would continue to entangle with the Sun and Yuan families for a while, but now all ties were severed?

Sun Aimin always felt that something was amiss. Sun Xiaohao, however cunning he might be, was still only a six-year-old. Furthermore, he couldn't endure any hardship. Every time he went back to his rural hometown with Sun Aimin, he would complain about the hardship and exhaustion and refused to go.

How did he get out of his house that night, and how was he taken directly to Luojiagou by the police? Why didn't he mention the Sun family or the Yuan family, but instead just said he was "Qian Xiaoshu"?

All of this made Sun Aimin feel incredible, and at the same time he had a vague worry in his heart, fearing that this child would do something detrimental to the Sun and Yuan families.

Sun Aimin felt a sense of urgency in his heart at this moment. He had to find a way to make money as soon as possible and become stronger quickly so that he could deal with all possible accidents and not let Qian Jindou's family or other evil people play with him and his relatives in the palm of their hands.

He asked Shen Nan, "Sister Shen, please help keep an eye on the child's movements. If there are any special behaviors, please let me know in time."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Aimin immediately went to an electrical appliance store and bought a pager. He called to tell Shen Nan the pager number, and then called Zhao Hongjun and Wu Xing's homes and asked them to write down his number.

He heard from Yuan Jie that in a few years, mobile phones developed rapidly, and many different styles were released with many functions and were very compact. Most importantly, the price was much cheaper.

Nowadays, buying a mobile phone, including the network access fee, can cost several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan, which is really too expensive.

They didn't have much money. The house they sold before was worth a little over 100,000 yuan, and they still had a lot of money left, so they couldn't spend it lavishly and had to make plans for the future.
