Chapter 278 The Cat-Cat Plan to Replace the Crown Prince

After hearing Xia Juanjuan's question, Li Sancai and Li Erni couldn't help but flash a moment of panic across their faces.

Liu Yuliang secretly followed Sun Chunhua to Beijing and saw her enter the compound, so he knew where the place was. But if he asked which family Sun Chunhua worked for or the name of the owner, they could not tell him.

There were guards standing guard at the gate of the compound, and Liu Yuliang did not dare to go up and ask.

However, Li Sancai reacted quickly and immediately evaded the question, "Our cousin's name is Li Daguo, and his wife's surname is Sun. They both have jobs in Beijing. People who have jobs in the city have working hours, and it's not easy to ask for leave, so they didn't come in person. Niece, don't argue about this. Go back with your uncle and your second aunt first, and we will accompany you to Beijing to recognize your relatives immediately, isn't that okay?"

Xia Juanjuan always felt something was strange when she heard what Li Sancai said.

The two men looked very panicked, and wanted her to follow them immediately. Could it be that they had colluded with the traffickers? Once she coveted her 'biological parents' in the city and went with them, she would be kidnapped by the traffickers in an unfamiliar place, just like Li Qiaoqiao did before?

Anyway, it looks suspicious no matter how you look at it.

Of course, even if it was not possible, Xia Juanjuan had no intention of going with them.

Biological parents who work in Beijing? Even if what they said was true, she didn't care.

Lin Yuru suddenly asked, "You said you are my daughter's uncle and aunt, and you know her biological parents. What evidence do you have?"

The last time Aunt Li from the village sent them a message, she said that the widow Wang who was brought over had a piece of cloth in her hand.

If the bundle can match the one in her hand, it can definitely prove that they are related to Juan'er's biological parents.

In the past, Xia Shuangshan and Lin Yuru did not want Xia Juanjuan to recognize her biological parents because after inquiring, they thought that Li Erni and Liu Yuliang were them. But now they hear from them that it is not the case. Juan'er's biological parents are actually from Beijing, and they are workers who eat commodity grains.

Lin Yuru felt that it would be better for Xia Juanjuan to recognize her relatives.

That's a city hukou. As long as they recognize each other, Juan'er can directly change to a city hukou and move to Beijing to live!

Her biological parents would surely be able to find her a job and provide her with commercial food.

It was natural for the little ones in the family to become city dwellers!

These are what she and Xia Shuangshan could not give to Juan'er.

They can't be so selfish, they should persuade Juan'er to recognize her relatives!

Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Mom, why are you asking this?"

Before Lin Yuru could answer, Li Erni immediately said, "Yes! We have half of the bag that was used to wrap my niece. I can show it to you!"

As he said that, he took out the piece of cloth from the bundle. Lin Yuru saw at a glance that the cloth was definitely the right one without any comparison!

The people they were talking about who were working in the city were Juan'er's biological parents.

Lin Yuru whispered, "Juan'er, don't force it. They have come a long way to find you. I see your parents... they are not bad. They are both registered in Beijing and have jobs. You should just recognize them..."

Only then did Xia Juanjuan understand the meaning of Lin Yuru's action.

However, she was not moved, but shook her head firmly and said, "Mom, didn't we agree on this? You and Dad are my only parents, and I don't want to recognize them anymore..."

Li Sancai and Li Erni were also a little anxious after hearing this: "Why is your niece so rude? Can we harm you? Your biological parents are really rich!"

Having said that, he couldn't help but take a step forward, wishing he could drag Xia Juanjuan to Beijing to meet her relatives immediately.

Xia Juanjuan said calmly, "If they want me to recognize my relatives, it's not impossible. They lost their own daughter and had her sold by traffickers. Now they finally found her, but they didn't show up themselves, but sent someone who had nothing to do with me to pick me up? Why? Having a Beijing hukou and eating commercial food in the city is so expensive? They can't even find the time to come and pick up their long-lost daughter in person?"

Li Sancai and Li Erni looked embarrassed.

The owner lives in the compound. They would like to invite him, but how could he possibly pay attention to them?

However, Xia Juanjuan refused to give in at all. After saying these words, she directly kicked the two people away!

Li Erni also wanted to ask Xia Juanjuan for some travel expenses for coming all the way here - after all, they came here to find Xia Juanjuan's parents, so it wouldn't be too much to ask for some travel expenses, right?

Seeing that Xia Juanjuan still lives in such a spacious house, she must be able to afford it!

However, Xia Juanjuan pretended not to hear it.

Li Erni and Li Sancai had no choice but to leave in embarrassment.

The two of them thought about it and realized that now that they had seen the girl from that year, although their original plan to take Xia Juanjuan directly to Beijing City was no longer feasible, it would be troublesome to run back and forth, so they simply bought train tickets to Beijing City together.

However, when he arrived at the train station, another idea suddenly popped into Li Sancai's mind.

He looked at Li Erni and said, "Sister, I think we should go home first."

Li Erni was stunned for a moment: "Why? Didn't you say that we should go to Jing City, find her parents, tell them that we helped them find the girl, and ask for the money as a thank you?"

Li Sancai's eyes flashed with greed, and he said, "Sister, think about it, if we go to tell that family about their daughter, even if we ask for a thank-you fee, how much can we get? At most, it will be around 1100 yuan, right? That's a one-time payment, sister, don't you want to earn more?"

Li Erni was also tempted. Although 1100 yuan was not a small amount, who would refuse more money?

"Sancai, your sister can't figure it out, so stop keeping her in suspense and get to the point!"

Li Sancai lowered his voice and said, "Sister, isn't your Erya about the same age as that girl back then?"

Li Erni thought about it blankly and said, "Yes, we were born in the same year."

Li Sancai continued, "Except for the girl we met back then, no one else has seen her, not even Sun Chunhua. As for what happened just now, luckily we didn't tell the girl the address of the family in Beijing. Sister, I was thinking... why don't we let Erya replace the girl and go to Beijing to recognize her relatives?"

When Li Erni heard this, her first reaction was to shake her head: "How can that be possible! Erya is my girlfriend, and besides... that doesn't look like it..."

"Tsk! What's the big deal about whether they look like her or not? We have the bag used to wrap the baby girl! This is the evidence! Sister, don't be reluctant to give up your Erya. Think about it, we are helping Erya! She has transformed from a country girl into the daughter of a wealthy city family. Won't she have a good life in the future? You are her biological mother. When the time comes, our family will definitely get a lot of benefits!"

Li Erni was a spineless and greedy person. After listening to Li Sancai's words, she agreed.

The two of them immediately bought train tickets back to the county, hurried back home, and then took Erya with them to Beijing again.

Xia Juanjuan didn't know that the two had already come up with a plan to replace the prince with a cat, and was still busy preparing for the New Year.

Last year, Li Zhaodi, the eldest sister of the Li family, returned to her parents' home to reconcile with her relatives here. Therefore, she had to make a trip to visit relatives after the Chinese New Year this year.

However, Li Zhaodi lived in another county, and the journey was not close. Both Xia Juanjuan and Zhou Qiuhe had a lot of things waiting for them to deal with at home, so they didn't plan to go, so they just let Li Jie go alone with the gifts.

Xia Juanjuan also prepared a bag of loose white sugar, some flour, a box of snacks bought from Beijing for the children, and a few spinach intestines. She put them at Li Jie's house and asked Li Jie to take them over when the time came.

This year's Chinese New Year, it has been confirmed that Lizhan will not be able to come back to celebrate the New Year.

However, this time Xia Juanjuan knew roughly where he was.

After entering the autumn and winter, Lizhan wrote back saying that the climate in the northwest, northeast, and even the south was very abnormal this year. The south was not so bad, but the north had heavy snowfalls one after another, which had been falling like crazy since August, and many places had suffered from snow disasters.

Many nomadic herders were even trapped in the snowstorm and unable to move, and needed rescue.

In order to protect the lives and property safety of the herdsmen, Lizhan and his reinforced regiment were sent to the northwest to help rescue people and trapped sheep.

However, this is all Xia Juanjuan knows.

It turns out that knowing where he is, it's still worrying.

Worried that he was too enthusiastic in his mission and got frostbitten, or that they were trapped in the blizzard and unable to escape, with no water in the mountains.

I don’t know if it’s because I thought about it during the day and dreamed about it at night, but on the night of the 23rd day of the lunar month, Xia Juanjuan had a dream.

I dreamed of a snowstorm all over the sky, with the wind mixed with snow that looked like fine salt, roaring between heaven and earth.

The entire snowfield was deserted and there was nothing there except thick snow.

However... somewhere in what seemed like a white area, under a protruding rock, a flock of sheep were huddled together, shivering, and making faint "bleating" sounds from time to time.
