Afterwards, the pressure of public opinion completely shifted to Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou. They had no choice but to come forward and say, "My son Xiaohao is preparing to undergo a bone marrow transplant these days. My youngest son happens to be a successful match with him, so the chances of the operation being successful are still very high.
Maybe something went wrong during my son's transfer. He started having a fever after arriving at the new hospital, and the doctor said it was a serious infection..."
As Zhan Jinhua spoke, she began to sob, wiped her eyes with a tissue, and then said with a sob: "I didn't expect that my son would not survive the infection period and died like this... wuwuwu~"
The reporter on the other side was mentally prepared and not at all surprised. She had already heard about Sun Xiaohao's death when she arrived. Furthermore, she also knew that Sun Xiaohao had been cremated yesterday.
As a well-informed reporter, when I heard the news, I was really shocked by the outrageous actions of Sun Xiaohao's biological parents.
But the more jaw-dropping operation was yet to come. It turned out that Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou had signed a secret agreement with the media outlet, selling the exclusive rights to report on Sun Xiaohao's death and funeral. Not only did they secure the money to buy a cemetery for Sun Xiaohao and arrange his funeral, but they also netted over 100,000 yuan in profit.
The filthy affairs behind the scenes were beyond the reporter's jurisdiction, and she didn't want to cause herself unnecessary trouble. All she had to do now was complete the interview assignment given to her by her superiors.
When Zhan Jinhua broke the news of Sun Xiaohao's death and began to sob, the young reporter suppressed her disdain and, upholding basic professional ethics, comforted Zhan Jinhua, saying, "Aunt Zhan, please accept my condolences! I believe that although Xiaohao died young, he must have most wanted his family to live strong. Please take care of yourself!"
After the interview video was broadcast, it immediately caused an uproar. Immediately afterwards, reporters followed Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou to the cemetery prepared for Sun Xiaohao and live-broadcasted his burial ceremony.
At this time, both the Sun and Yuan families were shocked when they heard the news of Sun Xiaohao's death.
After all, he was a child raised and spoiled by two families. Even though he had done many wrong things in his life, the two families still fell into silence because of his death.
Both elderly people in the family are over 90 years old, and the family members plan to keep the news of Sun Xiaohao's death secret for the time being, and keep it secret for as long as possible.
Compared to the silence of her family members, Yuan Jie's reaction was much more intense. She is a person who can't hide her emotions and is very emotional.
When Yuan Jie learned of Sun Xiaohao's death, the funeral ceremony had already been broadcast live on the Internet. The place was 600 to 700 kilometers away from Qingyang City, and she and Sun Aimin could not get there no matter what.
Yuan Jie cried her heart out at home that day, her eyes swollen like steamed buns, her mouth blistered, and she looked as haggard and miserable as she could be.
Sun Aimin stayed by Yuan Jie's side, sighing constantly. He simply thought Yuan Jie couldn't bear the blow of Sun Xiaohao's death, because he knew too well how Yuan Jie felt about Sun Xiaohao.
Perhaps because he was a man and more rational, as Sun Xiaohao brought them disappointment and hurt again and again, his feelings for her were exhausted. So when he heard the news, he didn't even feel too sad, as if the world had lost another person who had nothing to do with them.
Call him cold-blooded or heartless. He thought he had a clear conscience towards Sun Xiaohao. So he comforted Yuan Jie, "Okay, okay, don't be too sad, don't cry and hurt yourself. No matter how we treat him, even if he doesn't appreciate it, we have not done anything to let him down."
How could Yuan Jie not know this truth? But she just couldn't control her emotions. Only she knew that her tears were not all shed for Sun Xiaohao, but for herself and Sun Aimin.
Nearly twenty-seven years, the best years of her life, had been shattered into nothingness with Sun Xiaohao's passing. How could she not be heartbroken? If only there were a time machine that could take her back to the past...

After Zhan Jinhua, Qian Jindou and a few other children saw off the media people, they began a new round of preparations.
They had thought that creating an "accident" to quickly send their biological son away was beyond the limits of human nature. But the truth was, there was nothing that Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou couldn't do, except for what others couldn't think of.
When the young Yuan Jie saw the group of people gathered in the cemetery on a dark and windy night, he was not only surprised but also quite frightened.
So what did the young Yuan Jie see next?
After several of Sun Xiaohao's relatives left the cemetery during the day, they went up the mountain again to look for Sun Xiaohao's tombstone near dusk.
Aside from Qian Longchuan, who was carrying large and small bags on his back and in his hands, the others were empty-handed. Qian Niandi wanted to help Qian Longchuan lighten his burden, but was stopped by Zhan Jinhua.
"My daughter, that's not a woman's job. It's too heavy for you to lift. Let your second brother carry it. He is strong!" Zhan Jinhua said to Qian Niandi.
Qian Niandi curled her lips and said nothing. She naturally went to take the things from Qian Longchuan's hand, but Qian Longchuan subconsciously dodged her: "No, sister, I'm not tired, I'm almost there, don't get your hands on it!"
Although Qian Longchuan said this, his breathing was already a little unstable. He was thin and weak, with a slight limp, and with the dozens of kilograms of weight on his body, it would be a lie to say that he was not tired.
However, since Qian Longchuan had no blood relationship with this family, having been adopted and raised by them, he was unwilling to resist, no matter how harsh they were to him. Furthermore, he had been beaten and scolded so many times since childhood that he had long been tamed. He had a strong fear of Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou, and he dared not say anything to disobey them.
At about seven o'clock in the evening, the group arrived at Sun Xiaohao's tombstone. Zhan Jinhua instructed Qian Longchuan to put down all the things on his body and arrange them one by one according to her requirements.
