Chapter 285 The truth behind Sun Xiaojun's disappearance
Shen Jiale guessed the whereabouts of the child.
Just as Mrs. Zhuang said, it doesn't matter if she knows, the child will most likely not return to his biological parents.
A week later, Shen Jiale met Comrade Zheng at the school gate.
Comrade Zheng said: "The case that has been hanging in my mind for two years has finally been solved. What Mrs. Zhuang said is true!"
It turned out that Comrade Zheng was inspired by the child at the flower and bird market, and immediately returned to the police station to look through the previous materials.
He went to Sun Xiaoyan's house and asked the neighbors around.
He happened to hear Sun Xiaoyan's mother-in-law chatting with the neighbors.
The neighbors said that there was a river nearby, and a child almost drowned. A drowning incident also happened two years ago.
Sun Xiaoyan's mother-in
-law mentioned that two years ago, her daughter-in-law said that she would take the children to the river for a picnic that day, but she did not go, but returned to her parents' home, thankful that she had escaped. Comrade Zheng asked about the time when the child drowned two years ago, and Sun Xiaoyan's mother-in-law accurately told the time, because it was her birthday a week later, so she remembered it very clearly.
Comrade Zheng found the river where the accident happened and discovered a small grave nearby. There was no tombstone, and there were fresh fruits and burnt ashes in front of the grave.
He asked people who were fishing by the river, and they said that a woman had just come to pay tribute, but he could not see her face clearly because she wrapped her face with a scarf.
Comrade Zheng visited the people near the river again.
The effort paid off, and Comrade Zheng finally found a sister-in-law who was present at the time.
Seeing that I was asking about the drowning incident two years ago, the eldest sister-in-law asked in confusion: "Didn't the child get rescued? I also met that parent."
Comrade Zheng asked: "Did you see the drowning child with your own eyes? When was it?"
"Just a week after the accident, I met him in the store while buying something. The child's mother was buying gifts for her mother-in-law.
You can say that the child is really lucky. His belly was so bloated, but he was rescued.
After experiencing this incident, the child and his mother have changed a lot. The child's personality has changed a little. He is very afraid of people and hides in his mother's arms when he sees people."
...
Comrade Zheng asked the local police station for help and searched nearby hospitals to see if there were any drowning children who came to the hospital for rescue at that time two years ago.
Finally, he found a hospital.
When Comrade Zheng saw the names of the child and the mother in the medical record, he understood everything.
The local police station quickly arrested Sun Xiaoyan.
Faced with the evidence, Sun Xiaoyan admitted that she had exchanged the child, but she did not admit the crime of stealing the child.
Because she said that she had negotiated with her natal family to adopt the child, just like adopting Xiaobing, and gave a huge amount of compensation.
...
When Sun Xiaoyan met her husband through an introduction, she knew that her husband was infertile.
But her husband's family was rich and her husband was an only son, so Sun Xiaoyan resolutely married him.
The mother-in-law felt that a family was incomplete without a child, so she asked them to adopt a child.
The second sister-in-law in her natal family happened to be pregnant, so Sun Xiaoyan wanted her mother to come forward and persuade the second sister-in-law to adopt the child to her.
At first, neither Sun Zhiping nor Kong Xiumei agreed.
When Kong Xiumei gave birth to twins, her mother lied that one of the children was weak and needed to be hospitalized.
Sun Zhiping was raising a family alone and was worried that he had no money to treat the children. After discussing with his wife, he agreed to pass the children to Sun Xiaoyan.
With children by her side, Sun Xiaoyan lived a very comfortable life in her husband's family. She
didn't have to go to work every day, she just had to take good care of the children, and her husband's salary was all given to her. Her
parents-in-law didn't live with them, but they would give her money every week.
This was all for the sake of their grandson.
So, when Xiaobing drowned and couldn't be rescued, Sun Xiaoyan had a plan in mind.
When the doctor asked the child's name, she said it was Sun Xiaojun, and the parent's name was Kong Xiumei.
That day, Sun Xiaoyan buried the little soldier near the river and hurried back to her parents' home to discuss exchanging Kong Xiumei's child with her family.
...
After listening to Comrade Zheng's account, Shen Jiale asked: "Kong Xiumei must be very sad to hear such a result. Will the child return to his biological parents?"
Comrade Zheng said: "The Sun family now has two opinions. The mother-in-law does not suggest taking the child back. She believes that from the child's perspective, Sun Xiaoyan's family is more beneficial to the child's growth.
Although Kong Xiumei found her son, she also lost another child at the same time. The couple has been asking to get their son back."
"Is Sun Zhiping on his wife's side? Didn't he take money from his sister?"
"No, Sun Xiaoyan said that she gave a lot of money, but it was not given directly to Sun Zhiping, but to Sun's mother. Sun's mother did not give the money to Sun Zhiping, so Sun Zhiping was kept in the dark about the child exchange."
...
Shen Jiale thought that the whereabouts of the child had been found, and the final ownership of the child was decided by the Sun family, so he put the matter behind him.
However, when he returned home one day, he saw Sun Zhiping and Kong Xiumei bringing gifts and holding Sun Xiaojun.
Shen Jiale smiled and said, "Congratulations, the child is finally found."
The couple took the child and were about to kneel down to Shen Jiale, but were stopped by Liang Qiaoli and Shen Jiale.
Shen Jiale said, "I didn't do anything. If you want to thank someone, you should thank Comrade Zheng. He found out the truth."
Kong Xiumei said excitedly, "Comrade Zheng should be thanked, too. I said that God still favors me, otherwise he wouldn't have appeared in my dream and guided me to find Teacher Shen. Sure enough, Teacher Shen went to my house and my child was found."
Shen Jiale didn't dare to accept the credit imposed on him, so he changed the subject and asked how the child came back so easily.
Kong Xiumei said, "My husband and I are fools. We were fooled by the Sun family. We have severed our relationship."
Liang Qiaoli asked, "Has it gotten to this point?"
Kong Xiumei said, "Auntie, you don't know how much the Sun family bullies people.
I thought my sister-in-law had heard the news and came back to help me find the child, but she had already come back and discussed with my mother-in-law to exchange my child.
They drugged Xiaojun and made him sleepy. When I called him, the child couldn't hear me. My sister-in-law pretended to come back and followed us to find the child.
It was dark under the lamp, and I never thought that they changed the child's clothes and appeared in front of me so blatantly.
After that, they lied to me that the child was sick and took my child away in front of me.
I was so pitiful that I almost went crazy thinking about my child in the past two years. They also sold my child for money and gave it to my eldest brother's family.
Even if my sister-in-law's family is rich, such a family that treats people as commodities cannot teach a child with good moral character.
I would rather my child suffer with us than let my child enjoy happiness with such people.
My sister-in-law said she had given the money, and I asked her to find the person who took the money from her.
She also hid the child. In the end, Zhiping broke up and said that if she didn't return the child to us, we would investigate her for stealing the child. Only then did my sister-in-law return the child to me. "
Shen Jiale looked at the couple and realized that they had to work together, otherwise, the child would not necessarily come back.
Although he did not help in this matter, he was really happy for the couple.
The fruits in the orchard are ripe, and Lu Mingfeng has notified the previous merchants that it will be officially open to the public in three days.
Shen Jiale invited Sun Zhiping and his family of three to pick fruits in the orchard, and Kong Xiumei happily agreed.
