The other middle-aged couple must be Bao Shan's adoptive parents.
Why are they here?
Were they sent to plead for leniency because they had received word of it?
For whom are you pleading?
Adopted daughter? Or biological daughter?
Regardless of which one it is, they've gone to the wrong place.
Because no matter which one it is, they can't plead for leniency.
The two exchanged a glance, and Mrs. Bao nervously asked the question she wanted to know.
"You must be Battalion Commander Xie. Someone notified us to come here."
He said our biological daughter isn't Shanshan, but someone else. Where is our daughter?
When they received the news that their child had been switched at birth, they were all shocked. They never expected that their distant relatives on the maternal side would be so unreliable.
Although she didn't swap her own child, it was because of her that they were separated from their own flesh and blood, and she also caused other people's children to be separated from their parents. Now that she has been arrested, she has no one to blame but herself.
The couple were dressed simply, and their faces bore the marks of time; they didn't look like a wealthy family.
However, their eyes looked quite honest, suggesting they were from an upright family.
Unlike Zhao Guifen and her partner, whose abacus beads practically fell into people's faces.
Judging from the content of their questioning, they probably still don't know about their adopted daughter's act of treason.
He racked his brains for a moment and roughly figured out who had called the couple over.
It should be the Zhou family from Haishi.
Three children: Zhou Shi, Zhou Ling, and Bao Shan.
Thinking this way, another girl will be brought over too.
It's a pity that the girl wasn't good enough for those kind parents.
But in any case, it's best to let them see things clearly in person.
After carrying their child for ten months, they have the right to know how their own daughter is doing and what kind of person she is.
"Hello, comrades. I am Xie Lin. The people who sent you here haven't arrived yet. You'll probably have to wait a while. I don't know when they will arrive. You may have to stay at a guesthouse in the city."
The barracks also have accommodations for guests, but those are open to military personnel or their families. Those who are not military dependents can only go to the city.
The two nodded simultaneously and stepped aside.
Xie Lin's gaze fell on Zhao Guifen and her husband.
"Do you two have any questions? If not, you can go to the city and find a guesthouse."
Zhao Guifen grinned, "Son-in-law, what are you saying? We are Shishi's parents, here to see Shishi."
"I also want to ask the people who notified us that a little girl named Bao Shan is our daughter. They said she's in your unit. Could you please call her out for me?"
Besides recognizing their daughter, they also wanted to plead for leniency for their elderly mother.
So many years have passed, and they're still harping on this, arresting an old woman who's about to die. They really have no magnanimity.
They raised Zhou Shi to adulthood, so even if they didn't do anything special, they certainly put in a lot of effort.
"Stop, stop. I wouldn't dare be your son-in-law. Even if you raised Shishi, you know perfectly well how you raised her."
"When I first met Shishi, she was so thin she looked like a minor. How could you possibly call her her parents?"
"Also, whether it happened before or not is irrelevant now. Shishi has severed ties with your family, so we are now at most strangers breathing the same air."
Zhao Guifen was speechless with anger, her face turning red with rage.
“Young man, you’re wrong. The kindness of raising someone is greater than the kindness of giving birth to them. Shishi eats our food and lives in our house, so she is a member of the Zhou family.”
“In this village, which child doesn’t stumble and fall as they grow up? We’ve already shown kindness by not expecting repayment, you…”
"You want to repay a debt of gratitude? Fine, then give Shishi back the eighteen years of good life she was entitled to before you talk about her repaying a debt of gratitude."
"Let her go hungry and cold, and cause her brain damage from a fever. Repay a debt of gratitude? It's already a kindness that she hasn't sought revenge on you."
He returned Zhao Guifen's constant talk of benevolence and morality to her, leaving her speechless with his words.
His daughter Shishi has suffered so much, all because of them, and they have the nerve to spout nonsense here.
Are you blind? Didn't you see the situation clearly?
Once they find out your biological daughter is a bad element, let's see if you still dare to be so arrogant.
Zhao Guifen's face turned pale, and she muttered, "It's not like I switched the child, so what does it have to do with me?"
Xie Lin sneered: "If it's none of your business, why are you babbling on like that?"
Zhao Guifen: ......
The wives of soldiers passing by peeked out, and Zhao Guifen felt as if Xie Lin had rubbed her face into the ground. She snorted and didn't say anything more.
Her husband, Zhou Ping, stood by without saying a word, letting a woman take the lead.
You might call him a coward, but the beads in his eyes were clicking loudly, and Xie Lin could hear them.
However, his wife would take the lead; if there was a benefit, he would step in, and if not, he would stay out of the picture and wait for the next opportunity.
Xie Lin chuckled.
The next match might just scare you out of your wits.
Beep beep, beep beep~~
The sound of a car horn interrupted the argument between the two parties.
Everyone looked up and saw two impressive vehicles slowly driving up and stopping five meters from the gate.
Four tall, muscular men got out of the two vehicles at the same time. The four men stood on opposite sides of the vehicles and opened the rear doors of the vehicles simultaneously.
Two young men and a middle-aged woman got out of the car in front, while a pair of energetic elderly people and a listless girl got out of the car behind them.
Xie Lin raised an eyebrow.
He recognized the old lady just by her familiar face.
It's here!
That timing was perfect.
Needless to say, the girl who came down last was the one who harmed Shishi.
He glanced at the little girl squatting on the ground, foolishly playing rock-paper-scissors with Chou Chou, and smiled meaningfully.
Now that everyone's here, that brat can finally get her revenge.
The Bao couple were unaware of the Zhou family's identities. They were just honest, law-abiding citizens who had never seen anything like this before and were somewhat frightened.
Zhao Guifen was also intimidated by the other party's aura and moved behind her husband with small steps.
They all recognized Zhou Ling.
I knew she came from a well-off family, but I didn't expect her to be this well-off.
They travel in luxury cars and are protected by guards, each one exuding an air of nobility. No wonder Zhou Ling is reluctant to part with them, and no wonder she wants to get rid of Zhou Shi.
They wouldn't be willing to give up such a life of wealth and luxury.
The handsome young man stepped forward and politely saluted the young soldier on guard duty.
"Hello comrade, we are from Haishi, surnamed Zhou, and we are looking for your Chief Xiao. Please inform him."
Shishi was playing next to her post. Zhou Tong glanced at the thin figure but couldn't see her face, unaware that the person in front of him was his younger sister and brother-in-law.
Strangely enough, perhaps due to blood ties, she didn't even glance at Zhao Guifen who had been making a fuss for so long, but upon hearing this voice, she looked up instead.
However, he only glanced up at it once before looking down and continuing to play.
However, Zhou Tong, who had already looked away, didn't see her face, but Zhou Ling, who was walking in this direction, did.
What is she doing here?
No, shouldn't she be?
After sitting in the car for several days, my dizzy head suddenly cleared up.
Looking around, she saw two familiar faces.
Why are Zhou Ping and Zhao Guifen here too?
Boom~~
