Chapter 119: Be prepared for the worst



"That's right! A newborn baby was forced to be separated from his family. These people are so immoral." Zhao Qingshan also sighed.

"Dad, are there any marks on the child's body? Can you find him by just looking blindly?" Zhao Zhenzhu asked.

"There should be a mark, but Tao Jiadong didn't tell me. He just asked me to help pay attention to whether there is anyone in the various units in Taohua Town who adopted a son thirty years ago." Zhao Qingshan said.

"What if he's not in town but in the village?" asked Zhao Zhenzhu.

"The village will also conduct an investigation. Tao Jiadong will ask the team leaders or secretaries of each village to help with the investigation." Zhao Qingshan said.

"What if the village captain and the secretary concealed the truth? After raising their son for so many years, they would definitely be reluctant to return him to his family. Most people in a village are from the same clan and have the same surname, so such a thing would be hard to avoid, right?" Zhao Zhenzhu was determined to get to the bottom of the matter.

"There's nothing we can do. I hope the child has good luck and can be reunited with his family." Zhao Qingshan said with a sigh.

Tao family.

At noon, when the Tao family was eating, they also talked about looking for someone.

"Jiadong, I think the way you're looking for people is not a good idea. There are not enough people and the investigation won't be detailed enough. It's better to mobilize the masses to look for them together." Aunt Tao looked at Tao Jiadong, who had a tired face, and said with concern.

"Mom, the old leader doesn't want to mobilize a large number of people. If a large number of impostors appear, the work will become more complicated." Tao Jiadong was also helpless.

Tao Jiadong has been looking for more than four years.

Taohua Town is the fourth stop of Tao Jiadong's journey, where he encountered hope and disappointment again and again.

I heard recently that Zhou Jin is not in good health. Tao Jiadong is also under a lot of pressure.

Zhou Jin is very kind to Tao Jiadong, and Tao Jiadong really wants to find him as soon as possible.

"Why didn't you tell Zhao Qingshan yesterday that the child had two red moles on his left chest? With him helping you check, your work will be a lot easier." Aunt Tao said.

"Mom, the moles on the child's body when he was young may disappear when he grows up, or they may be removed artificially. I didn't tell Brother Qingshan because I didn't want him to be misled. Also, only the Zhou family and our family know about the moles, so you can't tell anyone. If Taiwan finds out, they might find a man of similar age and use technology to create a few moles to pretend to be the grandson of the old leader, and then things will become complicated." Tao Jiadong warned.

"Ah? Has the technology over there developed to this point? I've only heard of people removing moles, but I've never heard of people getting rid of them." Aunt Tao was a little confused.

"Mom, the technology in Western countries is much more advanced than ours. What if there is one?" Wang Jing couldn't help but reply.

"Xiao Jing is right. We should be prepared for the worst. If we search quietly, we may not find the person at most. If we search in a big way, we may bring danger to the old leader. Then I will never give up." Tao Jiadong sighed and said, "Even if we can't find the child, it will be a comfort to the old leader to know that the child is still alive."

That being said, in reality, Tao Jiadong still felt heavy-hearted because he couldn't find the person.

Aunt Tao nodded and said nothing more.

It was because she saw how hard Tao Jiadong had been looking for someone over the years that she proposed mobilizing the people to look for him together.

No matter how capable Tao Jiadong is, he cannot compare with the power of the masses.

Since Tao Jiadong had made up his mind, Aunt Tao stopped trying to persuade him.

"Grandma Tao, are you home?" Zhao Zhenzhu shouted while standing at the door of Tao's house.

Zhao Zhenzhu came to deliver hairtail.

Before I even entered the door, I heard the Tao family talking about the old leader's grandson. I couldn't help but slow down my pace.

When Zhao Zhenzhu heard that the person Tao Jiadong was looking for had two red moles on his left chest, she felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Zhou Bingchen has two red moles on his left chest, the size of rice grains.

"Wow! It's amazing that your parents still remember that I like to eat hairtail. This is your father's cooking, right? It smells so good." Aunt Tao smiled with joy when she saw the braised hairtail.

After talking to Aunt Tao for a few words, Zhao Zhenzhu went home.

Zhao Zhenzhu did not mention the mole on Zhou Bingchen's body to Tao Jiadong.

Anyway, it is impossible that Zhou Bingchen was adopted.

Zhou Bingchen has two older brothers! Raising a child costs a lot of money, and Zhou Fugui is not without a successor, so he needs to bring a child home to raise.

At the hospital.

Not long after Zhou Bingqiang and his wife left, Zhou Meimei occupied Ding Ermei's hospital bed, saying that she had a severe headache and wanted to take a nap to relieve it.

Ding Ermei really loves Zhou Meimei, a woman who came later in life. She quickly got up and gave the bed to Zhou Meimei.

Yesterday, Ding Ermei didn't really want to commit suicide. She vomited the pesticide before she could even drink it.

Ding Ermei was conscious when she was sent to the hospital.

The reason why she did not refuse gastric lavage was, firstly, because she was afraid that there would be pesticide residue in her stomach, and secondly, she wanted to give her son, daughter-in-law and Zhou Fugui a hard time, so that they would learn a lesson and not hold on to her mistake this time.

Zhou Meimei had a sound sleep on Ding Ermei's hospital bed. When she woke up, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Meimei! Are you awake? Does your head still hurt?" Ding Ermei came to the bedside and asked attentively.

"I have no head..." Zhou Meimei said this, then she remembered that she had just used "headache" as an excuse to ask Ding Ermei to give up her bed, and hurriedly said: "Mom, I slept for a while and my head doesn't hurt much, but I'm a little hungry. Didn't the sisters-in-law come to bring me food?"

"No, they are all lazy. I will teach them a lesson when I go back." Ding Ermei said angrily.

"Mom, how about... I go ask the doctor if I can be discharged from the hospital? I see you can walk now, so you should be almost well. It's a waste of money to stay in the hospital. You might as well buy some food and go home to recuperate!" Zhou Meimei's eyes rolled and she immediately came up with an idea.

The family didn't send them meals, and Ding Ermei had no money. They had to eat three meals a day, and Zhou Meimei had to pay for the meals.

Zhou Meimei didn't want to.

She came back from far away, and she has to pay for the travel expenses and take leave. If she has to put in more money, will she have no means to make a living next month?

"Okay, go ask! The hospital is full of the smell of disinfectant, which is unpleasant. I heard the doctor say this morning that I have to stay in the hospital for 24 hours or so after gastric lavage. If there is no problem, I can be discharged and go home." Ding Ermei agreed.

Ding Ermei also wanted to go home.

Those who should be scared have been scared. Apart from being hungry, Ding Ermei doesn't feel unwell anywhere else.

Continuing to lie in the hospital will only cost money.

While Zhou Meimei is at home, Ding Ermei wants to restore her mother-in-law's prestige and keep her daughters-in-law under tight control.

Half an hour later, Zhou Meimei happily returned to the ward with the six dollars refunded by the hospital in her pocket.

The doctor agreed to discharge Ding Ermei from the hospital.

Zhou Bingqiang still had six dollars left from the advance payment he had made.

Zhou Meimei took the money without any hesitation.

She had taken three days off and had spent most of the day taking care of her mother in the hospital!
