Chapter 243 (The End) (Part 1)

Ren Xiaosheng and Guan Ailian naturally tried to deny that they had switched children, insisting that Ren Xiaosheng was their biological son. However, the Su couple produced a blood type test result from the hospital.

At this time, there was no paternity test, so the only way to determine whether the child was biologically related was through a simple blood type test.

Actually, no identification was needed. Just by looking at Ren Xiaosheng, the Su couple could have determined that he was their child. But they were afraid that the two heartless Rens would try to exonerate themselves with their own excuses, so the couple still had Ren Xiaosheng and Su Mingcheng undergo a DNA test.

See, it's come in handy now.

After testing, both parents were found to have type A blood, while their son, Su Mingcheng, had type AB blood. The doctor said that it was impossible for two parents with type A blood to have a child with type AB blood, but it was possible for Ren Xiaosheng, with type O blood, to have such a child. It was clear who their biological son was.

Facts speak louder than words. No matter how much the Ren couple denied the blood type test, the police still arrested them.

The crime was child trafficking.

After the two were arrested, it sparked a heated discussion in the courtyard and the surrounding area.

This is because it is simply too shocking!

Although there were many talented and eccentric people in their courtyard, they had never heard of such a heinous incident.

Why would you trade your own child for someone else's?

In the familiar front yard of the CBD, a few gossipy middle-aged women sat chatting animatedly while sewing shoe soles, their spittle flying as they talked without stopping their work.

"What's the point? Do you guys remember what that couple was wearing that day? They were both in official uniforms, each set costing over a hundred yuan, my goodness! Just look at their demeanor, they're not ordinary people! And look at the police officers accompanying them, how polite they were to them, Xiaosheng's family must have been quite wealthy and powerful!"

"Ren Wenhua and Guan Ailian, that couple, probably saw that the other family was well-off, so they had the crooked idea of ​​switching their own child to enjoy the good life!"

"Listen to the name these two heartless people gave their child: Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng, so that he'll be filial to them for the rest of his life and be a workhorse for the Ren family!"

"Huh? I hadn't thought about it that way until you said it. It's true, this woman's mind... Oh my god, I've got goosebumps all over!"

"What a terrible thing!"

"Hmph, those two are vicious! Look at the kind of life Xiaosheng had when he was a child. Guan Ailian, that black-hearted woman, probably just wants to torment him to death so that her own son's position in that family will be secure."

"Luckily, Xiaosheng is a clever kid. He not only survived but also found his biological parents. Otherwise, that fake would have enjoyed a lifetime of good fortune."

Yes, that kid almost got to enjoy a life of luxury, what a close call!

Ren Wenhua's biological eldest son, who was the fake son of the Su family, was sent back after Ren Xiaosheng recognized his relatives.

That's not a good thing either. After staying with the Su family for so long, they really think they're superior to others, looking down on their neighbors in the tenement and treating them with disdain.

Pshaw, they don't even care~

We all live in the same big courtyard, so who is more noble than whom?

So these middle-aged women can't stand seeing such people living a good life, and they all secretly praise them, saying: "Good thing they caught up!"

Although some people grumbled that Shen Manqing and her husband were heartless, abandoning their child whom they had raised for over twenty years.

However, most people can understand. Everyone has children and is a parent. Imagine if your own child was switched at birth, suffered for over twenty years, and almost couldn't survive, while the other child was cherished and raised like a precious jewel. No one could swallow that resentment.

The greatest kindness is to refrain from harming this fake; how could one possibly face his face every day?

"I heard that recently, Dong Xiangxiang and Ren Yongsheng have been fighting tooth and nail over the family fortune left by the old couple."

"Oh dear, what happened? Tell me!"

Aunt Cao smiled mysteriously and whispered about the gossip she had overheard while peering through her back window.

"That Su Mingcheng, he said he's the eldest son in the family, and the house and all the things left by the two elders should belong to him. He even told Dong Xiangxiang and Ren Yongchao to move out!"

The older women were all surprised:

"Ha! This kid's got quite the nerve!"

"That's right, he came back and wanted to take all the family property!"

"But Dong Xiangxiang definitely can't do it; she has the Ren family's eldest grandson in her hands."

To be honest, Dong Xiangxiang felt extremely unlucky. She had always thought that since she had given birth to the Ren family's eldest grandson, the house and the old man's wealth would eventually fall into her hands.

Who knew that a biological brother-in-law would suddenly appear out of nowhere?

If only she had known, if only she hadn't mentioned Ren Yongsheng and Jiang Qiubai's affair in front of the police!

That way, Ren Yongsheng would at least still be at home and could still compete with this suddenly appearing brother-in-law.

Man proposes, God disposes; I really made a terrible mistake.

Dong Xiangxiang was filled with regret!

However, the older women in her courtyard had no idea that she was chatting about the latest gossip about the Ren family.

Just then, Ren Xiaosheng appeared at the main gate.

Ren Xiaosheng was carrying a net bag filled with many things, clearly indicating that he had come to visit Yu Junsheng and the others.

The aunties' eyes lit up the moment they saw him. They stopped chatting and swarmed around him, each one asking gossipily, "Oh, Xiaosheng, you're back!"

"How are you doing over there? Are your parents treating you well?"

Have they arranged a job for you?

Are you still going back to the countryside?

Questions like these came crashing down on him all at once. Ren Xiaosheng was almost frightened by the spectacular scene, fearing that if he was a step too slow in answering, these middle-aged women would spit their saliva into his mouth.

So enthusiastic! So enthusiastic!

He couldn't handle it!

He quickly replied, "Okay, okay, everything's fine, I still have to go back to the countryside..."

After quickly greeting each of the older women, Ren Xiaosheng finally broke through the encirclement, quickened his pace, and darted to the Yu family's house.

He breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he entered the door.

"Oh my god, those aunties are so enthusiastic!"

Yu Junsheng laughed at him, "Hmph, I think you just want to stir up trouble!"

He knew all about the people in the courtyard; they were all eager to watch the drama unfold. For the past few days, they had been gossiping about the Ren family's child swap, but since they couldn't find the person in charge, they could only speculate. Now that they had met Ren Xiaosheng in person, they were bound to ask him all sorts of questions.

Ren Xiaosheng, the person in charge of the lively performance, gave an awkward smile and changed the subject:

“My family helped me find a job, and I can go back to the city after I finish the formalities back in the village. I came here to say goodbye, and I’m going back to the countryside tomorrow. I’ll come back after I hand over things in the village.”

He came here today mainly to talk to Yu Junsheng about this.

After the Su couple came over and the police took Ren Wenhua and his wife away, they treated Yu Junsheng and his wife to a formal meal that evening, which could be considered a family reunion banquet.

However, due to the large number of people present, Ren Xiaosheng didn't have much of a chance to chat with Yu Junsheng.

So after he finished dealing with things at home, he took some time to come here and say goodbye.

"Really?! That's wonderful!" Yu Junsheng exclaimed in surprise, then understood. With the Su family's connections and status, a job would naturally be no problem. Besides, the Su family had finally found their biological son, who had suffered so much outside, so naturally they wanted to give him everything they could.

He was genuinely happy for Ren Xiaosheng. It wasn't that he was prejudiced against him or anything; it was just that life in the city and the countryside were worlds apart. If Ren Xiaosheng could stay in the city, get married, and have children, his future prospects would definitely be much better than in the countryside.

Moreover, he did indeed regard Ren Xiaosheng as an elder brother. He stayed in the city, and he and his wife had an extra relative to visit.

Yu Junsheng said happily, "Don't leave either. I'll cook later, and we all have to celebrate. First, to congratulate you on finding your biological parents, and second, to congratulate you on returning to the city!"

Ren Xiaosheng thought for a moment and realized he still had a lot to say to Yu Junsheng, so he didn't refuse and stayed for dinner.
