When Qian Jindou saw Zhan Jinhua coming back, he quickly sat up from the bed and asked, "How is our son? Is he okay?"
Zhan Jinhua casually picked up a bottle of water from the small cabinet in the room, gulped down half of it, and then said, "Things have changed!"
Afterwards, she told Qian Jindou everything she had just experienced. Qian Jindou was very happy to hear that his other biological son was in his hometown of Luojiagou and that he could keep the child there in the future.
Otherwise, I would have to travel all the way to Qingyang City several times throughout the year to understand the child's situation at that family before I can feel at ease. It is really too troublesome.
Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou were talking when Qian Longchuan pushed the door open and came in, lowering his eyebrows and whispering, "Dad, Mom, I bought the meal!"
Then, he handed over the food in his hand. Zhan Jinhua glared at him with a look of disgust and said, "How many times have I told you to knock on the door before entering the house? Why don't you remember? You are so stupid."
Qian Longchuan stood there awkwardly, and said weakly, "Mom, I'm sorry, I just forgot. I will definitely change it next time!"
Qian Jindou waved his hand and said, "Okay, go out and take food to your sister. Make sure she eats more!"
Qian Niandi was their first child. She had been sensible and obedient since childhood, and she was generous in her words and deeds. She was also always at the top of her class. This was also an important reason why Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou loved this daughter so much.
Not only the couple like Qian Niandi, but also the relatives at home often praise her, which makes them very proud.
Recently, Qian Nian Di was implicated by her parents and had to temporarily stop going to school, which made Qian Nian Di very depressed. She had no appetite and felt like she had lost a lot of weight.
After Qian Longchuan carefully came out of his parents' room and returned to the next room, his tense nerves finally relaxed.
Although Qian Longchuan was only three years old when he arrived at the Qian family, he always knew that he was not his biological child. When he was young, he grew up with his grandparents, but neither his grandparents, uncles, or cousins had a good attitude towards him.
In reality, his life in the Zhan family wasn't much better than Qian Xiaoshu's in the Qian family. Having been beaten since childhood, he had become sensitive and timid, and he didn't dare to resist his nominal parents in words or actions.
Some time ago, his parents brought him to live in the city and asked him to take care of his younger brother Qian Longfei.
He hadn't even finished elementary school yet and wanted to continue studying, but after arriving in the city, his parents didn't even mention anything about his schooling, and he didn't dare to ask.
Qian Niandi, her elder sister, had asked her parents several times to transfer her to a school in the city, but they always laughed it off and put it off. Until now, not only had she not been able to go to school, but neither had her sister.
"Sister, it's time for dinner!" After entering the room, he called Qian Niandi who was sitting on the bed in a daze.
Qian Niandi came back to her senses, forced a faint smile at Qian Longchuan, and said, "Xiaochuan, you eat first. I'm not hungry yet. I'll eat later!"
Qian Longchuan advised: "Sister, you haven't eaten properly for several days. You should eat something. If you continue like this, you will get sick. Maybe in a few days, our parents will be able to take us back home, and you can go back to school."
Qian Niandi didn't comment on Qian Longchuan's words, but she felt that something bad must have happened to her parents this time, and she didn't have much hope of returning to school in the near future.
Seeing that Qian Niandi didn't say anything and didn't seem to want to eat, Qian Longchuan continued to persuade her, "Sister, it's not a good idea for you to keep doing this. Mom and Dad are worried about you. Dad just told me to watch you eat more.
If you starve yourself, it will affect your studies when you return to school. Since you didn't bring your books back this time, we can go out and buy some books and materials for the third year of junior high school and study on our own first."
Under Qian Longchuan's persuasion, Qian Niandi finally ate more at this meal. She thought that she had to go to the bookstore to buy books and materials in the next two days so as not to miss classes.
The family stayed in Qingyang City for another day and bought train tickets back to Jiangyuan City the next day.
As for Mafang City, Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou were still waiting for news. Their accomplice Cao Yong and his two companions had contacted them after escaping from the path in the Shengli Village orchard, and were looking for money.
Because the incident happened suddenly, their internal informant did not receive the news in time, so there was no time to notify Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou to deal with the aftermath, which allowed the police to find clues in the noodle shop that the two of them might be involved in human trafficking.
If not for this, they would not be on the wanted list now. Once the storm has passed, they can still use the identity of the noodle shop owner to continue their old business.
Now, they were waiting for news that Cao Yong and the other two had been apprehended. Once the money was in place, the three would insist that they were the only three members of the gang, which would allow Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou to successfully overcome their difficulties.
By then, the arrest warrant will be withdrawn and their lives can return to normal.
After Cao Yong and the other two received the money, they have been arranging where to spend it these days. Cao Yong has a wife and children in another place, and he used another identity to get married and have children.
Zhan Jinhua and her husband gave Cao Yong 30,000 yuan, and the other two accomplices 10,000 yuan each, asking them to take full responsibility for the crime. They also promised them that they would make arrangements to reduce their sentences and release them sooner.
Cao Yong was confident about this. Zhan Jinhua had helped him get his second identity, which had only taken a few days. The system could verify it, so he didn't have to worry about it being a fake ID or household registration.
Having worked with the couple for several years, Cao Yong knew they were indeed quite capable. They knew every little thing about the company ahead of time, allowing them to prepare in advance. As a result, there hadn't been a single accident in the past few years. This convinced Cao Yong.
So this time, even though the compensation Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou gave him wasn't much, he was still willing to help them shoulder the blame. After all, he couldn't do this quick money business on his own, and when he got out, he would have to rely on these two people.
After Cao Yong arranged for his wife and children, he quickly returned to Mafang City to surrender. Two of his brothers also surrendered. Cao Yong was the mastermind, while the other two were accomplices. They all insisted that they had nothing to do with the noodle shop owner.
Since there were no surveillance cameras inside or around the noodle shop, there were no other solid clues besides the cellar found inside. Furthermore, the case was very close to being solved at that time, and after several human traffickers were brought to justice, the case was quickly closed.
After Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou stayed in Jiangyuan City for a few days, they received a notice from an insider telling them that the case had been dropped and they could return to Mafang City with peace of mind.
Others who are paying attention to the case include Sun Aimin, Wu Xing and Zhao Hongjun.
