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 216: Baoyu's Concern

Things have come to this point, and even if Qian Niandi cries to death, it won’t solve the problem.

Zhan Dayou comforted Qian Niandi on the phone and said, "Xiaoshu is fine, don't worry. He got lost while going to the toilet and was brought back by the conductor.

Once we catch your traffickers, Xiaofei should be able to be found too. I'll have your uncle buy a train ticket right now. If he can't get the fastest one, I'll have them drive to pick you up."

When Qian Niandi heard that Qian Xiaoshu had returned to the Zhan family and that Qian Longfei was the only one left alone outside, she felt a little relieved.

She thought that Xiaofei was smart and pretty, and even if she had been trafficked, she would probably be quite popular and safe for the time being. As long as they found the two human traffickers as soon as possible, they would be able to find Xiaofei's whereabouts.

Soon, Zhan Dayou told his family about the phone call and arranged for his two sons to rush to Wenxi City to pick up Qian Niandi and bring her home.

Zhan Baoku agreed readily, saying they would drive off right away. However, Zhan Baoyu was gloomy, showing no joy at having his niece found home.

Mrs. Zhan noticed that her second son was acting strangely and asked, "Second son, what's wrong with you? Did something happen to you?"

Zhan Baoyu had a bitter face and did not answer Mrs. Zhan's question. Instead, he said, "Go get Nian Di first. We can talk about other things after you get back."

He recently went to the hospital for a full-body checkup, and unsurprisingly, the worst possible result was obtained: he was diagnosed with leukemia.

He didn't give up and went to another hospital for another check-up, but the result was the same.

A few years ago, my eldest brother died of leukemia. At that time, my parents cried their hearts out. Even now, when they see Tingting, the daughter of my eldest brother, they still can't help but feel sad.

If they knew they had the disease, would they be able to bear it? Oh, I'd better tell them later.

Because Tingting lost her father at a young age, the Zhan family had always treated her well and did not drive the mother and daughter away just because they lost their son.

Zhan Tingting is now twelve years old. Her father, Zhan Baoliang, was diagnosed with acute leukemia and died within three months. Zhan Tingting was only five years old at the time.

Two years after Zhan Baoliang's death, his wife Wu Chunfang found another husband and remarried, but she was still a member of the Zhan family's interest chain and relied on the Zhan family for her livelihood.

Zhan Dayou and his wife were worried that their eldest granddaughter Zhan Tingting would be wronged if she lived with her stepfather, so after their eldest son remarried, they let Zhan Tingting stay and live with them.

So, the Zhan family has quite a few children now. Granddaughter Zhan Tingting, granddaughter Qin Xin (also known as Zhang Ling), and grandson Sun Xiaohao all currently live in the Zhan family.

At the beginning of the year, Zhan Baoku and his wife welcomed their first child, who is now eight months old. They named her Zhan Yingying and are also taken care of by Mrs. Zhan.

Zhan Baoyu is 29 years old now. Among Zhan Dayou’s children, he is the only one who does not have any children yet.

It would be easy for them to bring back a son to raise, but Zhan Baoyu was unwilling to do so. Firstly, he did not want to raise a child who was not his own blood, and secondly, he felt that he was still young and had no problem with fertility.

He looked at his father Zhan Dayou, who had lived to be almost seventy years old and had no family genetic diseases. He also had a certain sense of luck, thinking that he should not be so unlucky. There must be exceptions. Why couldn't he be that exception?

In this way, although the matter of him and his wife having a baby was important, they did not seem to be too anxious.

But the moment he learned the diagnosis, he was truly anxious. He was still so young, was he going to die like this? His elder brother at least had a descendant, but was he going to be without any descendants?

He was really unwilling to accept that his short life came and went in a hurry, leaving nothing behind.

Perhaps, time is running out for him, and it is too late to have a child of his own. Then, he can only take another risk before he dies, so that at least there will be someone to carry on the family line.

These thoughts have been lingering in Zhan Baoyu's mind for the past few days. He thought that as soon as he brought his niece back to the Zhan family, he would immediately tell his family about his situation and start to implement his plan.

Trains in those days were slow and often delayed. In order to get Qian Niandi home as soon as possible, the brothers Zhan Baoku and Zhan Baoyu decided to drive directly there. They took turns driving on the road and they arrived at their destination in about five hours.

After the two brothers had discussed it, they drove straight to Wenxi City.

They set off after breakfast and arrived at the police station where Qian Niandi was at two o'clock in the afternoon.

When Qian Niandi saw her two uncles, she burst into tears and ran over to throw herself into their arms and cried bitterly. Zhan Baoyu and Zhan Baoku coaxed her for a long time before they barely calmed Qian Niandi's excitement.

Since they were here, they had to understand the progress of the case. Fortunately, Wenxi City was not a key area for the abduction and trafficking case currently under the supervision of the Provincial Public Security Department, so the two brothers did not need to remain on high alert.

According to the investigators, the two human traffickers had been apprehended at their homes. The arrest went so smoothly thanks to Qian Niandi reporting the case in the middle of the night.

The fool's parents were sleeping soundly in the middle of the night and had no idea that their foolish son had jumped over the wall and ran away with his bought wife, so they did not alert the enemy.

Two human traffickers kidnapped two children at once. Qian Niandi was sold for 15,000 yuan, and Qian Longfei was a boy. He was young, had no memory, and was handsome. They sold him for a good price of 40,000 yuan.

This money was enough for them to splurge for a while, so after that they stayed at home for a while, eating and drinking every day, and lived a very comfortable life.

The police set out in the middle of the night to arrest the human traffickers while they were sleeping soundly at home.

After interrogation, they only admitted to abducting Qian Niandi, but flatly denied the incident involving Qian Longfei, insisting that they had only abducted a young girl and no other children.

They had already squandered a lot of the money from selling the child. The police found more than 10,000 yuan in cash, a newly purchased refrigerator, a color TV, and two savings books, each with 50,000 yuan in it.

Such family economic conditions were relatively rare in rural areas in the 1990s.

In particular, these two people did not have a legitimate livelihood, and their family land was contracted out, earning only a few hundred yuan in rent a year. If they did not have some shameful way of making money, it would be impossible for them to accumulate such a fortune.

During the interrogation, the two men said they didn't understand the source of the large amount of funds, but they also knew that the police couldn't convict them without evidence. Therefore, they were determined not to speak about Qian Longfei's matter.
