Xiao Dan also felt that the first question didn't make sense, but that's the fact: the child was switched.
The second question concerns Zhou Ling, the girl who was switched with Zhou Shi's biological family.
Given the Zhou family's status in Beijing, arranging a job for their child would be a piece of cake; Zhou Ling wouldn't need to go to the countryside at all.
However, in order to demonstrate her high level of ideological awareness, she volunteered to go to the countryside with her best friend.
As luck would have it, the place she was sent to in the countryside was Wangjia Village, which was in the same commune as Zhoujia Village.
No one knows how she discovered Zhou Shi. Seeing that she looked exactly like her grandmother, she secretly investigated and found out that the two families had given birth at the same health center.
Another reason is that they are young and simple-minded, and because they think they are from the Zhou family of Zhoujia Village, they take the initiative to contact them.
Once the two sides integrated their findings, the true truth behind the child swap was revealed.
According to the Zhou family's testimony, Zhou Ling gave them a sum of money in return, promising to help them find their biological daughter and then find her a good husband who was an official.
When they reunite with their biological daughter, the son-in-law will also be able to promote the bride's family.
With such a huge temptation, they were tempted.
Perhaps it was because there was no blood relation between them, but Zhou Shi did not have as good a life as the other children in the Zhou family in their hometown.
From childhood to adulthood, I've always worked from dawn till dusk, not only doing housework but also working in the fields.
The little girl is also very diligent; in order not to go hungry, she has been trained to be a skilled worker.
The reason I'm so thin, besides my physical condition, is that I work a lot and eat very little.
Life is hard enough when it's normal, let alone after you become mentally impaired.
With the benefits promised by Zhou Ling, the Zhou family acted without hesitation, drugging Zhou Shi and throwing her into the river on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Zhou Shi was lucky to be rescued, but the fever damaged her brain.
The second time she threw him into the river was also because Zhou Ling was dissatisfied; she worried that Zhou Shi's existence would disrupt her path to wealth.
So even if he's mentally unstable, he's unwilling to let her go.
This kind of person can no longer be called malicious; they are rotten to the core.
Before returning to the city, she gave the Zhou family another sum of money, which led to Xie Lin's passing by and saving Zhou Shi.
However, what the Zhou family didn't know was that Zhou Ling didn't help them find their biological daughter, let alone arrange a good marriage for them.
Because of the Zhou family's status in Beijing, Zhou Ling's information about going to the countryside was kept secret; she was simply there for fun.
With the Zhou family's deep-rooted influence, she can easily return to the city when she's tired of playing around, making it difficult for the Zhou family in Zhoujia Village to find her.
"Xiao Xie, guess where the other child is?"
With Dong Zhongsheng personally intervening and Song Yunchao's connections, Xie Lin believed that the truth would eventually come to light.
He wasn't interested in who the other child was or where he was, only asking casually, "Where?"
"You think it's a coincidence that you were sent to the countryside as an educated youth in the village right across from the military camp?"
If Dong Zhongsheng hadn't said that the family was innocent and that the baby swap was done by a relative of the mother alone, Xiao Dan would have suspected that the girl was an insider sent to spy on them.
What a coincidence, Zhou Shi went to the island and she went to the island too?
"We found out that the train she took before entering the island was the same train you took back. You may have met her. Her name is Bao Shan."
Xie Lin: ...What a small world!
Xie Lin felt disgusted at the mention of this person and briefly recounted the previous entanglements.
Xiao Dan was at a loss for words.
It's one city, one city, one city; they all coincidentally started production in the same place. People who should never have seen each other also ended up together by chance.
Is this what those intellectuals mean when they say the earth is round and we'll eventually meet again?
Therefore, it's best not to do anything against your conscience. Being down-to-earth and honest is the only way to last.
Well, karma has caught up with them.
If Zhou Ling hadn't acted recklessly, her background wouldn't have been exposed, and she could have lived a life of wealth and privilege.
Or, if she behaves herself and behaves honestly, even if her true identity is eventually revealed, she is an innocent child, so at least she won't be punished.
She herself blocked her own path to wealth and ruined her secure life.
Not satisfied with enjoying a life of luxury for 18 years in place of Shishi, he actually had the ruthless desire to kill someone.
Xiao Dan gritted his teeth.
Regardless of what the Zhou family in Haishi thinks, the Xiao family will not let the little girl suffer any injustice.
Zhou Ling must receive the punishment she deserves!
She caused the country to lose a tremendous talent; for that alone, she deserves to be torn to pieces.
It doesn't matter whether the Zhou family in Haishi acknowledges the girl or not, but if they protect Zhou Ling, then he will avenge the girl.
The Xiao family isn't to be trifled with either, hmph!
“Dad, Shishi doesn’t understand anything. I don’t want her to know about these dirty things.”
"What did the Zhou family in Haishi say? If they value Shishi, I have no objection if Shishi wants to reunite with her family. If they don't value her, then we should each go our own way."
"Chief Song Yunchao dotes on Shishi, so we can get to know each other."
Xiao Dan shook his head. Dong Zhongsheng said that the Zhou family would call him personally, but the call hadn't arrived yet, and he didn't know what they were thinking.
Normally, the Zhou family should have called shortly after Dong Zhongsheng's call.
What is the Zhou family's intention behind this long period of silence?
Hmph, I hope it's not what he thinks.
He only gave the Zhou family one day. If they didn't call today, he would call the old man in Beijing tomorrow and tell him to bombard the Zhou family.
Just then, the phone rang.
Xie Lin immediately left through the doorway.
Regardless of whether he belongs to the Zhou family of Haishi, he should respect his superior. If it is something he should know, his superior will naturally call him.
