After Zhang Lin received Zhang Sen’s call, he instantly woke up and immediately opened his short video APP. He saw “999+” displayed in the “Message” area at the bottom of the screen.
Wow, this popularity was beyond Zhang Lin’s imagination.
When I clicked on the video I posted in the middle of the night, I saw thousands of comments, and that was just the result of a few hours.
Zhang Lin didn't expect that the video he posted with a try-it-out mentality would have such a surprisingly good effect, so he quickly shared his results in the WeChat family group.
Dalinzi (Zhang Lin): [I've accomplished something great. Come and praise me, everyone!]
After sending this message, Zhang Lin immediately got up, dressed and washed up.
By this time, Yuan Jie had already packed up. Her years of high school coaching had ingrained in her the habit of waking up early.
Yuan Jie thought that young people like to sleep in, so she planned to wait until after seven o'clock to call Zhang Lin for breakfast. When she opened WeChat on her mobile phone, she saw the message Zhang Lin had just sent.
Clicking on the video link and reading the comments, Yuan Jie couldn't help but smile and said to herself, "This kid has so many clever ideas!"
If this incident had not happened, both the Sun and Yuan families would have been basically invisible on the Internet, and Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin would have had little time to use their phones.
Yuan Jie didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to let this matter ferment on the Internet, but if she wanted to force Qian Jindou and Zhan Jinhua to come forward and acknowledge their relationship, she had to resort to extraordinary measures.
Today, Yuan Jie and Zhang Lin are going to meet the children born under the names of Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou.
Qian Jindou claimed that the child, born in 1991, had died. Yuan Jie's heart ached when she heard this. But this wasn't as simple as Qian Jindou's words; Yuan Jie had to confirm it herself. Was the child truly gone? When did it happen, and how did it die? These were questions Yuan Jie needed to answer as quickly as possible.
Household registration information shows that Qian Jindou and Zhan Jinhua's eldest daughter is Qian Niandi, born in 1982 and currently in her mid-thirties. Their two sons, Qian Longchuan and Qian Longfei, were born in 1988 and 1994, respectively.
After having breakfast, Yuan Jie and Zhang Lin called Qian Niandi according to the phone number recorded in the household registration information.
After two beeps, the other party answered the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
Well, that's quite polite.
Yuan Jie briefly explained the situation and made her request: "Can you please persuade your parents to see the child? He has been diagnosed with leukemia and urgently needs a matching bone marrow. The success rate of matching between siblings is the highest.
"Can you get a matching test with your brother? It won't cause any harm to your body. If you have any requests, you can tell us."
Qian Niandi listened to the voice coming from the other end of the phone and fell into a brief silence.
Yuan Jie could sense her hesitation and pressed the issue, saying, "I know this matter has caused you some trouble, but human life is at stake. If there was any solution, we would have done it long ago and would not have let the child's illness drag on for several months.
We can handle the financial issues ourselves, but unfortunately, life-saving bone marrow is something money can't buy. If we can cure your child's illness, we can also give you some compensation.
We've been trying to contact your parents, but they seem reluctant to acknowledge us. If they don't want to show up, that's fine. As the eldest sister, could you discuss the matching process with your two younger brothers?
Qian Niandi replied, "Well, can I think about it again?"
The fact that there was another child wandering around was no longer a family secret. Zhan Jinhua had already given the three siblings a small meeting, telling them to ignore them if anyone came looking for them.
But now, Qian Niandi was somewhat touched when she heard that Yuan Jie cared so much about someone else's child.
Yuan Jie didn't give Qian Niandi too much time to think and said, "Can we meet in private? Some things can't be explained clearly over the phone in a short time."
Yuan Jie had two main considerations in requesting a meeting. One was that she wanted to take Qian Niandi and Sun Xiaohao for bone marrow matching as soon as possible. The other was that she wanted to learn more from her about the other children in the family, especially the child born in 1991. No matter whether he was in their home now or not, as long as he had lived in that home, there would always be some traces left.
Logically speaking, Qian Niandi was already 9 years old in 1991 and should have understood something.
Yuan Jie was worried that if she talked too much on the phone, the other party would become defensive and hang up, blocking her like her parents did, thus cutting off the line of communication. If they could meet in person, things would be much easier.
"Well, okay! I have time in the afternoon. Let's meet at the coffee shop on the first floor of Zhongwang Shopping Mall at 2 o'clock!" Qian Niandi agreed.
After resolving this matter, Yuan Jie felt a little relieved and continued to call Qian Longchuan.
After the call was connected, a low and weak voice came from the other end: "Hello, who is it?"
Yuan Jie said, "Hello, is this Qian Longchuan?"
Qian Longchuan: "It's me, what can I do for you?"
Yuan Jie briefly explained the situation and requested, "Can you do a bone marrow match with my adopted son, your brother? He's waiting for help, but we haven't found a suitable bone marrow donor. You can find out. Donating bone marrow doesn't cause much harm to the body."
If the child hadn't been sick, we wouldn't have known he wasn't our biological child. Even though we've found a home for him now, we've never thought of giving him up.
We can cover the medical expenses ourselves, but finding a suitable bone marrow donor is extremely difficult, so we're begging you siblings for help. After all, you're all siblings, so your chances of matching are much higher than with others."
After hearing what Yuan Jie said, Qian Longchuan felt very upset. It was not because he felt sorry for his terminally ill brother, but because he suddenly realized that there is such a motherly love in the world that can transcend blood ties.
He couldn't help but shake his head and give a wry smile, then replied to Yuan Jie: "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's really because... I'm not my parents' biological son, so I can't help you."
Yuan Jie, however, caught on to this crucial information and became quite emotional. When she discussed this with her family, they had already concluded that their child had been stolen. If the other party was afraid she would find the child, it's entirely possible they'd altered the child's age and other details. Since Qian Longchuan had said this, could he possibly be the child they'd lost?
Yuan Jie tried hard to calm herself, but her voice was still trembling. "Child, are you saying you're not from the Qian family? Then do you know how you ended up in their family? Is your real age 1988 as registered on your household registration?"
Facing Yuan Jie's question, Qian Longchuan did not hide anything and told the truth: "I also heard it from the neighbors. When I came here, I was about two or three years old. My parents registered my household registration that year."
By this calculation, Qian Longchuan was born two or three years earlier than 1988, so the time doesn't match. Yuan Jie's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. But she still had some hope and asked, "Can we meet?"
