Wen Jinyu took out the milk powder and clothes that her daughter-in-law had prepared for Xiao Sitian and said, "These are the milk powder and clothes we prepared for the child. The child is going back with you, so I have no use for these. You can take them all back to Xiao Sitian."
Bai Xiuyan could tell from the fact that the milk powder was packaged in a tin can that it was of high quality, and the fabric of the baby clothes was very soft, just right for a child to wear.
Upon seeing these two items, the Cui family immediately realized that the Liu family was no ordinary family. Otherwise, who would give such good things to an adopted child? Even for them, getting such a can of milk powder was not easy.
This also shows how good the Liu family is to their child. The Cui family was deeply moved; their child had truly met good people.
Little Sitian was terrified of the stranger who wanted to take her away, crying incessantly and reaching out her little hands to Wen Jinyu. Wen Jinyu was heartbroken, and tears welled up in her eyes. She truly couldn't bear to part with her child.
Wen Jinyu finally managed to coax the child to sleep after holding him for a while.
She gently handed the child to the child's mother and whispered, "You should leave quickly while the child is asleep."
After seeing off the Cui family, who were expressing their profuse gratitude, Wen Jinyu felt a deep emptiness as she looked at the empty kang (heated brick bed). She sat on the kang, staring blankly at the spot where Xiao Sitian had been sleeping.
Seeing the girl's state, Liu Zhongyi knew she was reluctant to let her go and advised, "Girl, it's good for Sitian's growth to go back to her parents. You should be happy."
Besides, don't forget that Yixian and Yuhan got married. They might have a child soon, and you'll be busy then. Now that Sitian has found her biological parents, you won't be too busy to take care of her when you have a grandchild.
Wen Jinyu said, "Of course I'm happy for Sitian. No one is as good as being with her parents. I'm just a little unaccustomed to it right now, but I'll be fine in a couple of days."
However, from what Yi Xian said, they don't plan to have children for the first two years of their marriage, and want to wait until Yu Han is two years older. After all, Yu Han has only recently become an adult, and Yi Xian is worried that it might be bad for her health.
"Even if I want to hold my grandson, I'll probably have to wait two years."
Liu Zhongyi said, "We still have work even without children, and I estimate that Han Xiao will resolve things in Kyoto soon. You'll have to stay by Han Xiao's side to take care of him from now on. It's better without children."
Du Lianqiao and his wife also heard about what happened to their in-laws' mother and came over to comfort her, fearing that she would be upset.
Wang Yuqiao was secretly delighted that the child had returned home with his biological parents. Since the mother-in-law had adopted a child, it would likely be her daughter's responsibility in the future. Moreover, even if her daughter had children, the mother-in-law might not have the energy to help raise them.
Now that the child is back with his biological parents, everyone is happy.
This time, Han Yixian didn't drive; instead, he and He Yuhan took the train. They planned to travel south by car. However, He Yuhan had prepared a large amount of gasoline and several SUVs in her luggage, just in case.
The two of them took a train that first went to Kyoto, and then transferred in Kyoto.
Trains in that era were very slow. It took the two of them several train transfers and a week to travel from the north to the south of country Z.
When they reached the southern border, someone was there to meet them. In order not to alert anyone, they followed their messenger along a small path across the border.
After several detours, they finally arrived at City E, a city in a neighboring country. People sent by Han Yixian had already taken care of things there.
Moreover, Han Yixian has friends here, which is why he chose to settle in City E.
Although the journey was all in sleeper berths on the train, the ten-day trip left He Yuhan feeling very tired. Han Yixian also noticed that his wife's complexion was not good. When they arrived in E City, he told He Yuhan to rest in the room while he went out to make contact with someone.
He Yuhan was indeed very tired and had no interest in going out to play, so she stayed in her room to rest.
Han Yixian went directly to his friend Zhong Kun. Han Yixian's accomplice had already contacted Zhong Kun and conveyed Han Yixian's intentions: to have Zhong Kun help contact large local jade mine owners and exchange grain and other goods for jade.
Zhong Kun had already contacted several powerful jade mine owners as Han Yixian had instructed.
Zhong Kun himself owns several jade mines. When Han Yixian sent people here to purchase the mining rights to one of the jade mines, it was Zhong Kun who helped him and put the rights under Zhong Kun's name.
In his early years, Zhong Kun did business in Country Z and had business dealings with the Han family. He received considerable support from the Han family, and the two families had a relationship spanning decades. Their relationship could be described as very close.
Now that Han Yixian has come to his land, Zhong Kun is very happy and of course wants to show him hospitality.
Zhong Kun was very happy to see Han Yixian. He patted Han Yixian on the shoulder and said, "We haven't seen each other for several years. How is your father?"
Han Yixian nodded and said, "My father is doing well. Uncle Kun's business is growing bigger and bigger, isn't it?"
Zhong Kun smiled and said, "There are disasters everywhere now, and the land isn't very peaceful, so business is tough. Take jade, for example; the market has suffered because of the disasters. Z country used to be a big market, but now there's basically no market left."
What people need now is food, sustenance, and various daily necessities. When survival is at stake, things for enjoyment take a backseat.
Han Yixian said, "Uncle Kun, I'd like to buy a batch of jade, gemstones and diamonds. I can exchange them for food and other necessities. Do you think that's possible?"
Zhong Kun's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Of course it can work. Let me tell you, right now all the major mine owners have mountains of jade and gemstones piled up in their homes. You can't eat this stuff, so it's hard to sell and they can only keep it in their hands."
It's not peaceful here right now, so some foreign jewelry merchants don't dare to come. It's not easy for us to ship our goods out, and we can't get a good price for them, so things are just dragging on like this.
If it could be exchanged for food and various daily necessities, people would be scrambling to buy it.
How many supplies do you have? I can help you use some of them. You know, I own several jade mines. If you want, I'll give you all the jade I have. You really saved your Uncle Kun from a dire situation this time.”
Han Yixian said confidently, "Uncle Kun, don't worry, I have enough supplies. I'll take any quality of jade. Not just jade, but if someone is willing to buy grain with gold, that's fine too, as well as all kinds of gemstones. We'll take anything that's gold and silver. I just hope you'll keep my information confidential and conduct the transactions on my behalf."
Moreover, my time is limited this time; I won't be able to stay here for more than a few days before I have to go back. I'll have to rely on your help, Uncle Kun.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Kun said, "No problem. I'll contact them for you. You prepare the supplies. I'll let you know when I've made the arrangements."
