Chapter 120: Searching for Relatives (Part 2)
Shen Wei thought about it and finally decided to go and take a look first!
Ask Weng Lan to sit in the back seat with the child. Gu Qingyan drives, and Chen Wei sits in the passenger seat. Now Ping An's address has been found!
They will go down and take a look first, and if there is no problem, they will ask the children to go down.
The car drove through the streets, out of the city, and headed towards the countryside. At first, the road was relatively flat, but as it drove further, there were only big trees and farmland on both sides, and even a few houses.
The child has been very good with Weng Lan these past few days, probably wanting to make up for all the hugs they'd received earlier. The child particularly loves being held. Even when sleeping, as long as he's not sleeping too deeply, he'll wake up immediately if he's put in bed.
The child's dependence on her made Weng Lan even more concerned!
Ping An was now nestled in Weng Lan's arms, his little face looking up at her. For a teacher, it was truly healing to have such trust from a child.
It took three hours of driving to find the place.
Shen Wei finally understood what Gu Qingyan meant by the poor family background. The houses here were all made of mud. The small courtyard was small, with only some water tanks and miscellaneous items piled up.
After they got out of the car, they went straight into the house.
"Is this Mr. Song's house?" According to the information, it should be this one.
A man walked out of the room. He looked a little sick. "It's me!" It was hard to imagine a man could be so thin. There was even an abnormal flush on his face.
She was accompanied by a woman who didn't look young.
"Are you also volunteers for the Missing Family Home?" These people have come into contact with many people one after another while searching for their children.
But every time I waited with hope, but it was always disappointed.
Shen Wei said: "Yes, we also want to ask some details about the child's disappearance."
Song Lao San sighed. For him, every memory was a wound. In his current state, he probably wouldn't live more than two years. It was impossible for him to have other offspring; the one he lost was his only child.
The woman next to him mocked Song Laosan: "Why don't you tell the truth at this time?" Her voice suddenly rose.
Song Laosan covered his head in pain.
Chen Wei and Gu Qingyan exchanged a glance. There was a bit of complexity in their eyes. It was a relief that they hadn't called the child down directly. Could there be something else going on?
The woman next to him said, "His family spent 100,000 yuan on a betrothal gift to marry me." This woman is not young anymore. She's been married before and has three children. The eldest is 17 or 18 years old! And the first three are all sons. After her divorce, many people introduced her to men, attracted by her ability to bear children.
Song Laosan's family was the most sincere, offering a betrothal gift of 100,000 yuan. This shocked the entire village. Furthermore, Song Laosan was over a decade younger than her and had never been married. Thus, the marriage between the older wife and the younger husband was concluded.
She gave birth to a son and named him Song Baobao, which shows how much he doted on her.
But after giving birth, Song Lao San contracted tuberculosis. He was treated at a small hospital and recovered, but developed a cough. His health deteriorated. His mother blamed the child for his bad luck.
The villagers are superstitious, and some people gossip about him, but it's all just hearsay.
Later, his mother took the child out to the market and came back to say that the child was lost. Neither of them believed it. But they searched frantically but couldn't find the child.
His mother took this opportunity to ask for a divorce and return the betrothal gift!
The woman didn't tolerate her and slapped her mother-in-law hard. The whole village heard her mother-in-law's screams that day. But the child was still lost.
She was so angry! Under her torture, her mother-in-law was like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw her. Her husband's health was also getting worse. This was their karma!
