Chapter 443 When Soldiers Come, Generals Will Block Them
Lei Jingwu not only sternly rejected Xiao Tiantian's request, but also threatened him.
"If you don't behave, Grandpa will teach you another foreign language tomorrow. Go and get some rest. Your sister-in-law and I have something to discuss. Go and rest now!"
Xiao Tiantian snorted twice and glared angrily at Lei Jingwu.
"Brother-in-law, I understand! Eldest sister, let's have breakfast together tomorrow morning. I'll have someone buy your favorite glutinous rice balls and fried dough sticks."
After saying that, Xiao Tian rolled her eyes at Lei Jingwu before going back to her room.
Lei Jingwu sighed.
"You've spoiled Xiaotian rotten!" Lei Jingwu complained.
Yao Shula snorted and tugged at Lei Jingwu.
"Come on! I have something to ask you. After I'm done, we'll go talk to your second aunt and the others." Yao Shula said, pulling Lei Jingwu into the small room next door.
...
"Back in Yun County, didn't you arrest Tian Lei's brother and mother? Was it because of the testimonies of those human traffickers?"
Actually, some of the evidence pointed to Tian Lei back then, didn't it?
In order to avoid any further complications and also for the sake of Tian Tian's father, we should have let Tian Lei off the hook, right?
The old man must have tacitly approved of this, otherwise Tian Lei wouldn't have been able to get away so easily.
"Besides, just in case, the old man and you must have kept some evidence from back then, right?" Yao Shula asked several questions in a row.
Lei Jingwu looked at Yao Shula with some surprise.
She even guessed these things...
When dealing with Tian Lei's matter, the old man did think about his third uncle, but it wasn't just his third uncle's sake; he was also thinking about Tian Tian's.
At that time, in order to exonerate themselves, Tian Lei's mother and brother did indeed drag Tian Lei into the mess. In their testimonies, they all said that it was Tian Lei's idea and that she was the one who made them do it.
Their reason for doing this was simply that if they dragged Tian Lei into it, given that Tian Lei was Secretary Lei's wife, the matter might end up being handled leniently...
Unexpectedly, in the end... they still went in.
Lei Jingwu and Grandpa Lei had kept some evidence to prevent Tian Lei from causing trouble.
I never thought it would come in handy today.
“Yes! It’s in my drawer. I’ll go back and get it for you later if you want it!” Lei Jingwu said readily.
Yao Shula breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, she was right. Lei Jingwu did have something on Tian Lei.
"There's another thing. Back then, the old man decided to send Tian Mi to the distant Su family. Tian Mi became the child of my cousin and was renamed Su Nuannuan."
"The procedures must have been completed completely back then!" Yao Shula continued to ask.
Lei Jingwu nodded.
"Yes, it's definitely complete. As soon as Tian Mi was sent over, my uncle took her to complete the adoption procedures."
"The household registration and everything else were transferred, and the next day Tian Mi's name was changed to Su Nuannuan," Lei Jingwu said immediately.
Upon hearing this, Yao Shula immediately shared her thoughts with Lei Jingwu.
"Since the paperwork is complete, things will be much easier. Whatever Tian Lei wants to do, it's a family matter."
In those days, it was normal for families with many children to give away their children if they couldn't afford to raise them all. Anyway, the paperwork was complete, and no matter how you look at it, you can't find any reason why the Lei family was involved.
Even if others want to criticize the Lei family, the conclusion they can draw is that this child is not what the Lei family expected.
Doesn't Tian Lei want a child?
"Sure! Just go ask your cousin's family! We'll see if she has the ability," Yao Shula said with a faint smile.
Lei Jingwu was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Yao Shula meant.
"You mean... you want Tian Lei to go to her cousin's house to ask for the child back? That means you're telling Tian Lei where the child went?"
"That's right! This can't be kept a secret! Many people knew when my uncle's family adopted Tian Mi. If Tian Lei really wanted to find her child, she could have easily found out by asking around."
Or perhaps Tian Lei already knew where the child had gone, but she also knew that her uncle and aunt would never give Tian Mi to her, so she pretended not to know anything and planned to cause trouble at the Lei family's place.
She thought that the Lei family had a sense of honor, and her father was in that position, so they definitely wouldn't want to make a big fuss. Maybe the Lei family would step in and negotiate with her cousin's family to get the child back!
Since that's the case, let's just tell Tian Lei where Tian Mi went and let her go get her herself!
"As far as I know, Auntie has been waiting for this day for a long time!" Yao Shula said happily.
Lei Jingwu...
It seems so. Although my uncle is honest and upright, my aunt is quite shrewish. Every time my uncle and aunt come to visit the old man, my aunt will say that she is just waiting for the day when Tian Lei comes to visit!
“Then… shall we call my cousin’s house now? My cousin’s house is in Zhabei. If Tian Lei really wants to find him, it will be easy for her to do so,” Lei Jingwu muttered to himself.
Yao Shula nodded.
"Yes, let's call my uncle's family now so they can know about this as soon as possible and make preparations."
We were just thinking of our uncle's family!
Lei Jingwu thought about it and agreed that it made sense. This was really just a family matter. According to Yao Shula, it was a small matter that could be easily resolved. If it was handled like a family matter, there wouldn't be any problems.
"Come on! Make a call! After you're done, go talk to your second aunt about something." Lei Jingwu said, pulling Yao Shula to make the call.
After Lei Jingwu finished his phone call with Yao Shula, Yao Shula whispered a few words to Lei Jingwu, and then Lei Jingwu drove back to their own house to get his things.
Yao Shula also went to the living room to talk to Aunt Lei.
Some things need to be said by Aunt Lei, since she is Tian Lei's cousin!
...
Aunt Lei had been waiting in the living room for a long time. According to her usual routine, she should have been asleep by now.
But she wasn't sleepy at all, and the longer she waited, the more anxious Aunt Lei became.
What am I supposed to do...? Will Yao Shula give me another sarcastic remark?
Or perhaps Yao Shula wouldn't ask her to persuade Tian Lei...
That Tian Lei is clearly not taking me seriously now. What good will my words do?
As she was lost in thought, Yao Shula and Lei Jingwu arrived.
Lei Jingwu nodded to them, took his car keys, and went out, while Yao Shula sat down next to him.
"Second Aunt, have you been waiting long? I haven't asked you to go back yet because there are some things I need you to take care of," Yao Shula said with a smile.
Aunt Lei's heart jumped. Before she could speak, Lei Jingqiu spoke up.
"Sister-in-law, please tell us! We will definitely do whatever we can. We are all family, and there is nothing we cannot say."
Aunt Lei rolled her eyes at her son, but when she turned to look at Yao Shula, she immediately put on a smile.
"Shura, tell me, I'll definitely do anything I can, but that Tian Lei... never mind, I'll talk to her properly tomorrow!" Aunt Lei quickly said.
“No need to talk to her properly!” Yao Shula laughed.
