Chapter 38 Slapping the Real Daughter in the Face 38
Jiang Lan had a hunch that the evil that Zhang Ergui could see and sense was probably just the tip of the iceberg. There were still many sins lurking beneath this quiet little mountain village. Just like the surging whirlpool under the calm sea, it constantly devoured those who were unaware.
The village chief of Yujia Village was not necessarily the source of this sin. He built a closed kingdom of sin by himself and supported this group of greedy demons. What did he live on? Demons never use their own flesh and blood to feed others, unless there is a more ferocious demon behind him!
Where did those abducted women come from?
Where did those disobedient women go in the end?
What role did the head of Yujia Village play in this? It is unknown for the time being.
Layers of mystery shroud the sky of Yujia Village, making Jiang Lan a little breathless.
When something makes people feel very outrageous, there must be something more outrageous behind it. What exactly is this thing?
Something suddenly flashed through Jiang Lan's mind, so fast that she could hardly catch it.
"Dad, which hospital was I born in?"
"Ah?" Zhang Ergui didn't react for a while. He was a little confused and had no idea why the topic of the young lady changed so quickly.
Jiang Lan explained: "I'm just very surprised that Jiang Jiang and I were born in the same hospital."
The fact that the children were swapped was too unreasonable in itself, and it was even more unreasonable to swap with a family like the Jiang family. According to common sense, the Jiang family would definitely choose a high-end private hospital to give birth to their child, or at least one of the best public tertiary hospitals in the area. There was no reason for them to give birth to their child in the same small hospital as the extremely poor Zhang family.
"You were born in the health hospital in the town." Zhang Ergui didn't think as deeply as Jiang Lan did. He looked relieved when he mentioned this. "Women in Yujia Village usually give birth directly at home, and they just hire a midwife to assist when they are about to give birth. You are special because when you were about to be born, I happened to be working in the town. I was worried about your mother being pregnant at home, so I took her to the town. Later, her water broke and she was about to give birth. We went to the hospital and found out that the fetus was in an abnormal position and needed a caesarean section. Fortunately, we were in the town at that time. If we were in the village, there might have been two deaths."
Because of this incident, the Zhang couple always felt that their daughter was blessed.
"Dad, did you meet anyone from the Jiang family when mom gave birth?"
"I can't forget these two people no matter how hard I try. There were many people giving birth in the hospital at that time, and the couple came in a hurry. They were dressed differently from the people here, and you could tell at a glance. They were rich, and they insisted on getting a single room when they gave birth, but there weren't any single rooms here. There weren't any single rooms, and they insisted on having a separate delivery room and having nurses assist in the birth." It was
also the first time that Zhang Ergui met someone who dared to make trouble in the hospital. Villagers were usually very cautious when they were sick, for fear of offending doctors, so they didn't dare to make requests like them.
Jiang Lan nodded, thinking that something was wrong.
Jiang's father is in the real estate business. Logically, his business scope would not cover such a remote place. And if he was discussing business, why would he bring his wife who was about to give birth.
Jiang Lan looked through Jiang's father's computer. In addition to some small movies that are not suitable for children, there are also some important work information. Jiang's father is a cautious person. There are many small problems, but no big handles. Moreover, this person is a person who will not get up early unless there is profit. It is not certain that he has any poor friends here. At least the few people he is close to are not from G Province.
It seems that I have to check Jiang's father's schedule... I hope it is just a coincidence.
Jiang Lan didn't show any clue on her face, and continued to ask: "Who does the village chief usually contact? Yujia Village is so closed, how did he get to know people outside?"
Zhang Ergui shook his head, "I really don't know."
Jiang Lan also knew that she probably couldn't get anything out of Zhang Ergui here, she took a deep breath, and said seriously: "Dad, what I'm going to do next may be very dangerous. To be precise, it won't have much impact on me personally. I'm more worried about your safety. Are you willing to go with me and leave Yujia Village?"
"This..." Zhang Ergui, who has stayed in the village for most of his life, still hesitated when faced with such a choice. The outside world was too strange to him, and he was no longer at the age of yearning for the outside world.
"My dear, where can we go if we leave here? Your mother and I are uneducated, and your brother only has a junior high school diploma. How can our family live? We can't always rely on you for support, and you are still a student. Besides, your grandparents are here, and if we leave, we have to give an explanation, don't you think?"
Jiang Lan understood Zhang Ergui's thoughts, and she gave up the idea of taking them out of the mountains. It is difficult to leave one's hometown, and she understands and respects it. But she still has to save people, and she has to adopt other methods on the basis of protecting her family.
"Dad, I understand, and I know what to do." Jiang Lan smiled, feeling somewhat relieved. In fact, this choice was better for her.
Zhang Ergui urged: "My dear, you should go back earlier. This society is more complicated than you think. Just live your life well." The young man who was once full of passion eventually lost his ambition in life. This tragedy in the world is always happening. It is better to turn a blind eye to it if you have a compassionate heart but no thundering means. There are always people
moving forward in this world, and there are always people who are still passionate in the face of hardships.
How many people are not satisfied with their own lives, but cannot bear to see the sufferings of the world.
Zhang Ergui knew his abilities, so he could only choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Similarly, Jiang Lan knew his abilities, so he chose a different path.
"Dad, you're right. We are just an ordinary family. We can't afford to make trouble. We should protect ourselves first. I think my college entrance examination results will be out soon and I will have to fill in my application soon. I'd better go back early. Then you can rest assured and some aunts won't always think about matchmaking for me."
Jiang Lan said this with a serious expression.
Zhang Ergui finally felt relieved. He was really afraid that his daughter was ignorant and would make a scene.
"It's great that you understand. You are still young now, and you should study hard. When you grow up and have the ability, you can help more people. My daughter, kindness is a good thing, and it is blessed by God. Dad is not stopping you from being kind, but I don't want you to get yourself involved."
Jiang Lan nodded again and promised: "Dad, I understand, what I want to do must be within my ability, so don't worry."
Zhang Ergui smiled and felt much more at ease.
However, in a place where he didn't see, Jiang Lan smiled apologetically, hoping that the white lie could comfort this worried father.
