Chapter 282: Lost everything
Li Xiulan said with a worried look on her face, "Well, if they don't want to give it to us, we have to find an excuse and let them bargain. At least Zhaodi has a gap in her heart towards them. By doing this, you have really severed the relationship between Zhaodi and us."
Qin Zhigang was very clear in his heart. He said, "The moment the money is asked, there will be no more affection. Let's sell the house tomorrow, move to another place, and adopt a child. We can't stay in this village anymore, otherwise we will be laughed at to death."
Li Xiulan knew her husband was right: "Indeed, what kind of relationship is there? I don't want to stay here anymore. Looking at everything here makes me sad. Sell the house. I never want to come back."
"Just tell others that Zhaodi went to visit her grandmother. Don't make people bother us when she leaves."
"Well, I know. How much does this house sell for?"
"Just make it cheaper and sell it quickly. I can't stay here another day."
"That's all we can do."
The couple thought about these things, feeling extremely upset and regretful. If they hadn't asked for more money, they would have been able to get a few thousand yuan in return. At least they wouldn't have ended up with nothing like now.
Even if it's not five thousand, three thousand will be fine.
Before, Qin Zhigang thought that without them, Lin Mei’s household registration could not be completed, so he took the initiative in this matter. However, he overlooked that they were powerful and influential, and that Lin Mei was lost at the beginning, so they had a missing person notice and the police station’s files, so they didn’t need them at all.
There is no point in thinking too much, and there is no point in regretting, because everything is too late.
Lin Xiaoxia and the others returned to Lingyuan City. They first went to Lin Xiaoxia's house. Because it was still early, Lin Jianye didn't want to leave Lin Mei now.
At noon, Lu Jingshen went out to buy some food. After dinner, Lu Jingshen and Lin Xiaoxia said they were going out to buy some fruit, and also wanted to let Lin Jianye and Lin Mei, father and daughter, talk alone.
Lin Mei told Lin Jianye about some of her childhood experiences, and Lin Jianye told Lin Mei about his family members.
Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen came back, washed the fruit, made tea, and sat down to talk. Lin Mei's mood also stabilized.
What no one expected was that Huang Wanxia came at this time. After her hypnosis treatment today, she remembered everything about Lin Mei, and she proposed to continue looking for Lin Mei.
The psychologist knew that they had found Lin Mei and felt that she could accept this information, so he told Huang Wanxia this.
Lin Rui also said that Lin Jianye, Lin Xiaoxia, and Lu Jingshen would take Lin Mei back to the Qin family today and would be back in the evening.
Huang Wanxia wanted to see Lin Mei first, so she came quickly. She didn't know that Lin Xiaoxia and the others had already returned.
After opening the door, Huang Wanxia looked at Lin Mei, tears streaming down her face like beads from a broken string, and she walked over tremblingly: "Is this my little girl?"
Lin Mei had some impression of what her mother looked like, and she had seen family photos before and knew that this was her mother.
Looking at Huang Wanxia's messy hair and red eyes from crying, she threw herself into Huang Wanxia's arms.
After crying for a few times, Huang Wanxia suddenly fainted.
Fortunately, Lin Rui was right behind Huang Wanxia and quickly hugged her.
Lin Rui carried Huang Wanxia to the bed and diagnosed her. He found that she was just over-excited and asked her to calm down.
At this time, Lin Mei held Huang Wanxia's hand tightly and squatted in front of Huang Wanxia's bed, looking at her.
She knew that her biological mother had been sick for many years because of her, and no matter how well her adoptive mother talked, she still exchanged her for money in the end. In her heart, she was longing for true maternal love, and this mother was the one who truly cared for and protected her.
Huang Wanxia woke up after a while. She looked at Lin Mei and smiled: "Xiao Ya, is it really Xiao Ya?" As she spoke, she held Lin Mei's hand, as if she was afraid that the child would run away.
Lin Mei nodded: "Mom, I'm back."
The word "Mom" made everyone in the room cry, as it contained so much emotion.
But today is also a day worth celebrating because the whole family is really reunited this time.
Lin Xiaoxia called her elder brother Lin Xiao and said that the family would get together in the evening.
Lin Jianye asked Lin Xiaoxia to invite Lin Jianguo and his wife as well, and booked a large private room at a restaurant near their home in the evening.
The family arrived at the restaurant early and put everything else behind them to celebrate the family reunion.
Lin Jianguo and Li Lan both took leave before get off work and arrived first. When they saw Lin Mei, they hugged her and were very surprised.
Li Lan touched Lin Mei's face and told her about some things that happened at home after she got lost. Her grandmother was ill for several months and could not get out of bed. Huang Wanxia also had mental problems. In order to find her, her family almost turned Lingyuan City upside down. But at that time, no one thought it was Ai Zhu, and no one thought that she was sent to another city by bus.
Lin Mei listened to her uncle and aunt's words. She also knew how much this family cared about her. The psychological damage she had suffered at the Qin family that morning was slowly being healed.
After dinner, the whole family returned to Lin Jianye's place, and Lin Mei returned to her real home.
When they got home, the family also discussed Lin Mei's household registration issue. They decided to go to the local police station to get a certificate tomorrow morning, and then take the certification materials here to Qingyan County.
Because Lin Jianye had a friend at the police station, he called him directly and told him about these things.
They agreed directly and asked them to go there tomorrow morning to get the supporting documents.
Lu Jingshen also called Zhou Yunchao directly and asked Zhou Yunchao to help him find the right connections so that he could go directly to the corresponding units and staff tomorrow morning and try to get the matter done as soon as possible.
Lin Xiaoxia knew that there was no Internet at that time, and some things might seem inconvenient, but they were actually easier to do. This was mainly because of connections, which were more effective than anything else.
Because they had to get up early tomorrow to handle Lin Mei's household registration, Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen didn't stay here too late and went home.
After returning home and taking a shower, Lin Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen lay on the bed. They were the only two left at home, and they felt completely relaxed.
Lu Jingshen pressed down on Lin Xiaoxia: "Wife, we are going to fight for 300 rounds today. I'm going to make you cry, you little devil."
Lin Xiaoxia hugged Lu Jingshen's neck and said, "Have you heard the saying? There is no such thing as spoiled land, only exhausted cows."
Lu Jingshen laughed: "You are not serious, girl."
"I learned it from you."
"When did I teach you this?"
"Anyway, didn't I learn all these things from you?"
"These are things we should explore together, okay? Let's explore more tonight?"
…
Because he had to get up early the next day, Lu Jingshen didn't make a fuss and let Lin Xiaoxia go after two attempts.
The next morning, Lu Jingshen went to work, and Lin Xiaoxia also went downstairs to wait for her parents and sister.
Soon Lin Jianye came to pick her up. The four of them went to the local police station to get a certificate, and then went to Qingyan County.
Along the way, Huang Wanxia looked at her two daughters. She was in a particularly good mood today. Although she had experienced so much hardship, the children were now back. This was the best. She would find a way to make it up to her two daughters in the future.
