As for the one from the Qiao family, when he first met her, she was less than a month old, and he felt that she was not the daughter of the Qiao family.

And her birthday is July 21st, almost the same as Shen Tan's.

In addition, when Aunt Qiao went to Beijing from the central region, she was only accompanied by her cousin, who was very consistent with the cousin Hu Cuifen mentioned, and they both had the surname Qiao.

But, there can't be so many coincidences in the world.

"How is this possible?" Lu Zhongqing was filled with anger and uncertainty. "Are you imagining things again?"

When his son was young, he said that Qiao Yu'an was not from the Qiao family, and he was beaten by him countless times.

Could it be that he was right?

However, the daughter of the Qiao family doesn't look like Jianing at all.

On the contrary, Chen Tan and Jianing are about 70% similar.

"Do you remember the accident that happened to Aunt Qiao on her way to Beijing? She gave birth halfway, with only her cousin Han Rong by her side. When Uncle Qiao picked them up, Aunt Qiao was already dead. No one knows whether the child was Aunt Qiao's biological child or not."

Qin Li suppressed his anger and repeated what Zheng Jinzhi and Hu Cuifen said.

After listening to this, Lawrence Lu thought of the time when he was a neighbor of the Qiao family.

He heard that the cousin of the Qiao family had always wanted to sleep with her cousin-in-law.

If Qiao Lifeng hadn't relied on her to help take care of his four children, he would have driven her away long ago.

"You have a point. Chen Tan really does look a lot like your Aunt Qiao, almost exactly the same. It's just that we are stuck here and can't check."

Lawrence Lu thought for a moment and continued, “After your eldest sister gives birth, take Chen Tan to the capital and find Qiao Shaoxuan and ask him to investigate this matter.”

Among the three sons of the Qiao family, the eldest, Qiao Shaoxuan, is already a regimental-level cadre in the army.

He should remember what his mother looks like, and he will definitely be able to tell there is something wrong when he sees Chen Tan.

As for his old friend Qiao Lifeng, because his wife passed away, he doted on his youngest daughter Qiao Yunan.

If I tell him directly, I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it.

"good."

When they came back, the food was already on the table.

At the dinner table, Lawrence Lu kept staring at Chen Tan. The more he looked, the more he felt that she looked like Jianing, even her temperament was similar.

Chen Tan felt scared when he looked at her. Did he not agree with her and Qin Li being together?

Mother Lu found something wrong and kicked Lawrence Lu under the table, "What are you doing? Eat!"

"Hehe, haha, eat, eat."

Lawrence Lu smiled awkwardly and retracted his gaze, but he still couldn't help but look.

Qin Li felt inexplicably unhappy. If he didn't know the reason, he would have suspected that his father had some dirty intentions.

Chen Tan felt very uncomfortable during the meal.

Putting down the bowl, Qin Li took her back.

On the way, Chen Tan asked, "Does your father look down on me?"

"Nonsense," Qin Li thought of her as the younger sister of the Qiao family, and felt a little guilty. "He feels like you are an old friend."

If he had investigated the matter back then, his wife wouldn't have been tortured by that evil woman Hu Cuifen for so many years.

"I thought I had done something wrong and that he didn't like me."

Chen Tan leaned on his shoulder and said, "Your mother and your sister are both fine. I like them."

Qin Li tilted his head and kissed her on the top of her head, "They like you very much, too."

"Brother, it's great to meet you."

"Silly girl, I will protect you for the rest of my life and will never let you suffer any injustice."

When the two returned home, heavy rain fell again and continued for three days.

Qin Li became busy again, and together with the men in the team, wearing straw raincoats and hats, they drained the rice fields.

After the Wei family's yard was built and the family moved into the new house, Liang Yujin never went to the breeding farm on the other side of the brigade again.

Chen Tan went there to work for two hours every day.

Liu Xu had difficulty walking because of her big belly, so Shen Jinquan did all the work.

Fortunately, all the pigs in the farm were sold, and only the seven breeding sheep were left.

Because of the rain, the second batch of animals had not yet been purchased, so there was not much to do.

After helping to clean the chicken coop, Chen Tan went to study medicine with Xie Junqian.

"Doctor Xie, Doctor Xie, my child is dying, please go and save him."

Chen Hehua braved the heavy rain and rushed into the health center holding her little son.

The child's symptoms are similar to Shen Jinbao's.

His skin was eerily pale, his lips were dark, and he was very thin.

After Xie Junqian looked carefully at her and her child's faces, he placed his hand on the child's pulse.

His face was serious. "Chronic poisoning, there's no way to save him."

"No, it's impossible. How could he be poisoned? We didn't eat anything poisonous," Shen Hehua didn't believe it. "You must have seen it wrong. My son is just like my brother. He didn't eat any meat and was hungry."

But, their family has not been short of food recently.

My mother's niece kept sending things to their family.

She fed her two sons with the good milk powder she sent them, so how could they be hungry?

"Stretch out your hand." Xie Junqian couldn't explain to someone who didn't understand, so he looked at Chen Tan and Xie Shuijun, "You can also examine him and tell us what you think."

The two men nodded, one on the left and one on the right, pinching the child's wrist. The pulse was very weak, and it looked like a deficiency syndrome, but it was caused by poisoning.

People with limited skills cannot diagnose it at all.

Xie Shuijun said, "They've been taking this poison for half a year. If they were adults, they could at least survive until the end of the year, but this child is too young to handle it."

Chen Tan's heart skipped a beat. Half a year?

She also quickly put her hand on Shen Hehua's pulse, which was also a pulse caused by chronic poisoning.

Xie Shuijun also examined her. "Just like her child, she has been poisoned for over half a year. If she continues to eat that poisonous substance, she will definitely not survive the New Year."
