Old Lady Zhang was a little out of control, so the noodle shop owner tried to comfort her while saying, "Those people only want the house and the money, not the child at all. Otherwise, they wouldn't abuse the child like that, not feeding him or keeping him warm. They beat or scold him whenever he's not satisfied. Plus, they already have a child at home, and he's like a little bully, bullying Xiao Jie every day. Now that Old Lady Zhang says she only wants the child and nothing else, they should just return the child to her, right? But they won't!"

"Isn't this too much?!" Zheng Jili said angrily, "You don't take good care of your child yourself, and you don't let others take care of him. How can this be justified?"

However, one netizen told the truth: "They adopted Xiaojie in order to get the house and money. The reason why the old lady didn't dare to sue in court is because Xiaojie is in their hands and the old lady is afraid to take action. But if the old lady takes Xiaojie back, how can they threaten her? Then the old lady will go to court to sue them and ask them to return the house and compensation, and they will have no choice but to return them to her. So of course they can't return Xiaojie to the old lady."

The noodle shop owner said the same thing. Zheng Jili asked, "Then can't we call the police or the Women's Federation?"

"I did." The noodle shop owner sighed. "Why didn't I look for her? But it's useless to look for her in this kind of situation. When the police came to her house, she sincerely admitted her mistake, saying that she was too busy and didn't notice that the child had been wronged, and promised that it wouldn't happen again. When the maternity and child care center came to her house, she dressed the child up beautifully. The child looked fine, and the maternity and child care center couldn't do anything, right? Then she took the child away to who knows where, and the old lady couldn't see the child at all. Then she called the police and the Women's Federation, and they said that the old lady had taken the child back to her hometown to visit relatives. Anyway, she wasn't at home. What can you do? You can't do anything at all."

"Scoundrel! Scoundrel!" Zheng Jili was so angry that her eyes turned red and she clenched her fists: "How can there be such a shameless person in the world!"

Netizens also followed suit and cursed.

Jiang Chunian remained calm and asked, "What happened next?"

"Later, the old lady hadn't seen her child for over a year. Suddenly, they said they were willing to give the child to Old Lady Zhang. Of course, the condition was that Old Lady Zhang had to sign an agreement giving up her inheritance and compensation. Seeing that she could get her grandson back, the old lady couldn't wait to agree. After signing the agreement, she finally saw her grandson."

The noodle shop owner recalled the first time he saw the child and shook his head. "You don't know. The child was so skinny, stupid, timid and weak. We all cursed the family for being so heartless. But no matter what, the child is finally coming home, and we are all happy for the old lady. Although the life of the two of them may be a little harder by picking up garbage, with the support of our neighbors and the old lady's true love, the child is definitely better off than in the hands of those bad people, right? But no one expected that the child would disappear just a few days after returning!"

"Gone? How could he be gone?" Zheng Jili was anxious: "Could it be that he was taken away by that family again?"

"No, the child just disappeared. We all suspect that human traffickers have abducted the child." The noodle shop owner had a heavy expression.

"Have you called the police?" Zheng Jili asked.

"Of course I called the police," the noodle shop owner sighed. "But it was no use calling the police. The child just disappeared. After the family got the news, they came over and beat up the old lady and smashed up her place. They made a scene every few days. The old lady was sick for a long time because of this. If she hadn't been thinking about finding her grandson, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to hold on. Well, I heard that Miss Jiang, you are very good at fortune-telling and can even calculate the whereabouts of the child through the eight characters. So I asked someone to pass on a message to her. She may not have heard it clearly, or it may be because she really has no money on her. But don't worry, Miss Jiang, I will help her with the 500 yuan."

The owner of the nearby bakery said, "How can we let you pay for it all? Where's the face of us old neighbors? I'll pay for it with you. As long as we can find the child, this little money is nothing."

Other neighbors also expressed their willingness to help with the money.

"Thank you so much, thank you so much." Old Lady Zhang expressed her gratitude to everyone. "If Xiaojie can be found, I will bring him back and kowtow to everyone."

"Oh, it's a different era now, why are we still bowing? As long as the child can be found, it's fine." Everyone persuaded.

Old Lady Zhang turned around and looked at Jiang Chunian hopefully: "Master, please help me."

"I'll try my best." Jiang Chunian nodded: "Do you have the child's birth date?"

"Yes, yes." Old Mrs. Zhang took out a piece of red paper from her bosom tremblingly, handed it to Jiang Chunian, and then looked at her hopefully.

Everyone also looked at Jiang Chunian.

Jiang Chunian got the birth date and counted with his fingers for more than ten minutes before opening his eyes: "Your grandson was indeed abducted."

"This damn human trafficker."

"Why don't you just die!"

Everyone cursed the damn human traffickers.

"Can we find him?" asked Mrs. Zhang nervously.

Everyone stopped cursing and looked at Jiang Chunian.

"Master, can you find it?"

"We must find him. That child is so pitiful."

…

The noodle shop owner saw that everyone was paying attention to Jiang Chunian; "Everyone, be quiet and listen to what the master has to say."

Jiang Chunian looked at the noodle shop owner and said, "Can you call the police officer in charge of this case over? Because it involves key clues, it is not convenient to disclose them publicly."

"Found it?" The noodle shop owner was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise, "Okay, okay, I'll notify Officer Tao right away."

Old Mrs. Zhang was also very excited: "Did you really find him? Where is he? Is he okay? Did he have enough food? Was he beaten? Wuuuuu, grandma's Xiaojie."

Officer Tao, who was in charge of this case, arrived soon. Jiang Chunian took him aside and told him what he had calculated: "Based on Xiaojie's birth date and time, I've calculated that the trafficker who abducted Xiaojie is related to him. In other words, his abduction wasn't an accident, but rather a relative who sold him. If you want to find him, you can start with his blood relatives."

"You mean, the ones who sold Xiaojie were his grandmother's relatives?" The more Officer Tao thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Otherwise, why would the person who originally refused to return the child suddenly be willing to return it to Old Lady Zhang?

They were afraid that Mrs. Zhang was planning to kidnap the child, and they were also afraid that Mrs. Zhang would come after them if the child was lost, so they simply returned the child to Mrs. Zhang first, then secretly took the child away and sold it, and then turned around and took Mrs. Zhang back.

"Yes." Jiang Chunian thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any photos of Xiaojie's grandmother's relatives? Maybe I can find the person who kidnapped him by looking at his face."

Officer Tao knew that Jiang Chunian had helped the police solve many cases, and now that it was his turn, he naturally would not doubt it.

"I'll go find it right away."
