Chapter 139 It’s no use crying to death
Lin Zhu sneered, "What plans do I have? I changed my identity for no apparent reason, and my mind is still a mess. What plans do I have?"
Ai Weimin sighed at the side: "You still have these things on your mind? I don't know if they have called the police. Our betrothal gifts have to be returned. If you don't want to think about these important things, then you just say those useless things."
These words really made everyone in the room think a lot more clearly.
Ai Laifu said, "Dad, I'm fine this afternoon, so I guess everything will be fine, right?"
Ai Weimin said, "How would I know? I just know that the Lin family is not an ordinary family. They won't let us go so easily. Let's collect the money quickly and return the betrothal gift first. It will save us a lot of trouble."
When it comes to the betrothal gift, Ai Laibao refuses to accept it: "No, that's the money I used to marry my wife. Why should I return it? Ai Xiaoxia got married in our family at that time. The money belongs to our family."
Ai Laifu also said: "Yes, the betrothal gift was negotiated between us and Lu Jingshen's family. The money belongs to our family. Even if it was Lin Zhu who married in instead of Ai Xiaoxia, wouldn't the money still be ours?"
After he finished speaking, Guan Mingyue seemed to have opened up a new idea: "Oh right, the marriage contract between our family and the Lu family is that our daughter will marry Lu Jingshen. But now Ai Xiaoxia is not ours, and Lin Zhu is ours. Shouldn't we talk to the Lu family and decide that it should be Lin Zhu who will marry her? That's what the Lu family owes Grandpa."
At this time, Meng Qiuju seemed to come to her senses. "Yes, yes, it should be Lin Zhu who marries over. Then Lin Zhu will still be a city dweller. Now that the Lu family is doing well, it should be Lin Zhu who enjoys the benefits. Let's go find them tomorrow to exchange people, and we won't have to return the betrothal gift."
Lin Zhu frowned and looked at them: "Do you think this will work? What era is it now? Arranged marriages are not legal. They are a couple with a marriage certificate, and the law does not support you." She has been to school and has spent a long time in the city, so she understands these things.
"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. What should I do?" Meng Qiuju sat on the edge of the kang, panting, full of anger. How could a good game of chess end like this?
Lin Zhu looked at their greedy eyes, the dilapidated house, and the environment. Thinking of her previous family, she felt sad and started crying again.
The Ai family couldn’t come up with anything now, but they all knew that their situation was becoming increasingly difficult.
Of course, what they didn’t know was that today was the weekend and the staff of the Public Security Bureau were on vacation. Tomorrow would be the beginning of their family’s real misfortune, and there would be many more disasters waiting for them.
The next morning, after breakfast, Lu Jingshen and Ai Xiaoxia returned to their home. Because Ai Xiaoxia had not been at home for the past two days, she also needed to change clothes and do some laundry. Of course, she had promised Huang Wanxia that she would go back when she was free and call her often if she was not free.
When she got home, Ai Xiaoxia cleaned up, took a shower, changed her clothes from head to toe, and put the dirty clothes in the washing machine.
Before she had time to drink a sip of water, the phone rang. Ai Xiaoxia answered it and it was Feng Ying.
Feng Ying said that she called her several times, but no one was at home. Fortunately, she got through.
Ai Xiaoxia had been thinking about her cousin Jiang Qingru calling her today to tell her about her life story, because it was Jiang Qingru who first brought up the matter. If it weren't for Jiang Qingru, Ai Xiaoxia might not have been able to investigate the matter.
She briefly told Feng Ying about her life story, and then added, "I was just about to call my cousin, and you called me."
Feng Ying was also happy for Ai Xiaoxia after hearing this: "Congratulations on finding your biological parents. People should always live with clarity, otherwise it will make you feel uneasy. Now you can rest assured."
"Well, I feel relieved. I feel relieved. How about you? What are you thinking? I'm going to call my cousin later."
"I've made up my mind. I want to be with your cousin. Wherever he goes, I'll just move there. I'm educated, so it won't be difficult for me to move with my husband." Feng Ying said firmly.
"Oh, this is your husband? Then should I change my name to call her cousin-in-law?" Ai Xiaoxia said jokingly.
Feng Ying felt a little embarrassed by Ai Xiaoxia's teasing: "You can make fun of me, but this time you have to help me."
"That's for sure. I'll call my cousin now. I'll get back to you if I have any new news."
"Okay, please."
"Don't worry, I'm hanging up."
After hanging up the phone, Ai Xiaoxia called Jiang Qingru again.
Jiang Qingru picked up the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
"Cousin, I'm Ai Xiaoxia. I have good news for you, brother. I have found my biological parents." Ai Xiaoxia announced the good news first.
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Qingru was also very happy for Ai Xiaoxia: "Congratulations, but I am indeed curious why the baby was switched. Is it as simple as taking the wrong baby?"
"My cousin is smart, it's not true. The Ai family wanted to have more daughters to subsidize their son, so they replaced me with a worker. Their own daughter was raised in the city, waiting for her to earn money before exploiting her. But I didn't listen, so they hurried to find a child in the city, and that's how I found out."
"It's really too filthy and dirty. What kind of mentality is that? It really makes me angry. So how do your biological parents treat you?"
"They are all very good. They have a very positive sense of right and wrong. They sent Lin Zhu back and called the police. However, it was Meng Qiuju's mother who swapped the child, so I don't know what the final outcome will be. But I believe they will be punished."
"This may not necessarily convict the Ai family, but their reputation is probably ruined. In the countryside, that's enough for them to suffer."
"Leave those to professionals. I feel relieved now. By the way, cousin, you asked me to introduce you to a girlfriend before, but it occurred to me that there seems to be someone around you who is quite suitable." Ai Xiaoxia asked Jiang Qingru tentatively about this.
Jiang Qingru asked Ai Xiaoxia in confusion: "Who is it? Why didn't I notice it?"
"Isn't Doctor Feng Ying around your age and a nice guy? Why haven't you considered him?"
"Is Dr. Feng single? The first day I came to work, I saw a man riding a bicycle to take her to work and even tidying up her clothes. I thought she had a boyfriend."
"Ah? This is not a misunderstanding, right? Doctor Feng is single, so it must be her relative or something."
"How do you know so much?"
"I, I'm concerned about you, so I'm asking more questions. Tell the truth, cousin, how is Doctor Feng?"
Jiang Qingru was silent for a while: "She is a good person, but I misunderstood her before. I thought she had a partner. I thought that since she has a partner, she still cares about me so much. Maybe she is not serious about her relationship..." The more Jiang Qingru spoke, the lower his voice became.
Ai Xiaoxia laughed when she heard this: "You misunderstood. Doctor Feng doesn't have a boyfriend at all. I think she's interested in you. If you don't mind, why not try to get in touch with her?"
"This... I'm a little confused at the moment. You wait for me to sort it out." Jiang Qingru was still a little confused at the moment.
