As for Mother Le, Political Commissar Li personally went to see her.
Political Commissar Li asked, "The address you gave us was wrong. Luckily, they found the person they were looking for. They were almost fooled by you. There is no one named Zhao Xiaomei in that village. However, they still found her."
Political Commissar Li deliberately tricked Le's mother; he wanted to see her reaction.
Mrs. Yue was shocked: "If her name isn't Zhao Xiaomei, what is it?"
"That woman lied to me, how awful!" Mother Le never expected that people back then could be so cunning.
Fortunately, she gave the woman fifty yuan so that she could run away with the child as soon as possible, lest she be discovered and unable to escape.
Who knew she had given herself a fake identity!
Seeing that her reaction seemed genuine, Political Commissar Li knew that even Le's mother was unaware that the address and name were fake.
He turned and left.
From behind, Mrs. Le pressed, "Tell me! What's that damned woman's name? She cheated me! Make her give me back my fifty yuan!!!"
Political Commissar Li thought it was a fart from his mother.
That evening, Political Commissar Li called Ruan Yunxi in Beijing.
Mr. Gu answered the phone, and I thought it was the call he was waiting for.
Upon hearing each other's voices, the two immediately realized they had waited for the wrong person: "You're looking for my daughter-in-law, right? I'll have her answer the phone."
Political Commissar Li chuckled: "Good!"
Ruan Yunxi stayed in her room and rarely came out unless there was something going on, for fear of feeling awkward.
The living room is basically only used by Mr. Gu. Mrs. Gu is not feeling well and is lying in the bedroom. She has lost weight in the past few days.
Ruan Yunxi answered the phone: "Any news?"
"She didn't know either; she was also deceived. She didn't know the real address or the person's name," Political Commissar Li said.
Ruan Yunxi frowned: "It seems that the woman who took the child back then probably gave her a fake address and a fake name to avoid trouble."
Political Commissar Li nodded in agreement: "It might be a bit difficult to find now."
Ruan Yunxi said, "The only way is to start with the hospital records. Thank you, Political Commissar. I'll treat you to a meal when I get back!"
Political Commissar Li nodded with a smile: "Okay, we'll wait for you and Xiao Gu to come back."
Ruan Yunxi nodded and hung up the phone. She then saw Gu's mother come out of the bedroom. She had been lying down for too long and was a little dizzy. She looked at Ruan Yunxi expectantly, waiting for news from her side.
Ruan Yunxi said regretfully, "She was also deceived. The woman who took the baby away gave her a false identity."
Mrs. Gu covered her face: "Where did that child go?"
Just then, the phone rang again.
Mr. Gu answered the phone: "Comrade Gu, we found the file you wanted. On the day your wife gave birth, there were more than thirty women in labor. They were all registered, with names and addresses, but we don't know which one is the correct one."
Mr. Gu said gratefully, "Thank you for your help. I'll go get the addresses tomorrow and look for them one by one. I'm sure I'll find them."
The other party thought about it and agreed.
Upon hearing the news, Gu's mother excitedly asked, "Have they found them?"
"We found your hospital records from the day you gave birth, but we don't know who took our daughter away."
Ruan Yunxi suggested, "This is easy. Just exclude the mothers who gave birth to sons. Since you had a daughter, we just need to find the mother who took the daughter away."
Mrs. Gu nodded.
Mr. Gu thought so too.
Unexpectedly, this young daughter-in-law is quite clever; she came up with the process of elimination so quickly.
With hope in her heart, Gu's mother felt energized. She patted her stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry."
Mr. Gu immediately said, "Sit down for a while, I'll cook you a bowl of noodles." He also asked Ruan Yunxi, "Are you hungry? Would you like some?"
After having dinner, Ruan Yunxi shook her head: "I'm not hungry, you can cook for Grandma."
Mr. Gu had no choice but to give up.
After finishing a bowl of noodles, Gu's mother asked her to boil some hot water so she could wash up properly and go see her daughter tomorrow.
Ruan Yunxi stayed in her room, not disturbing Gu's parents, and acted as a sensible daughter-in-law.
