The police asked Village Chief Zhou to call the Zhou family members over to identify the person.
Fan Xiaofan was also taken to Shuncheng and waited in the office. The other police officers in the office were very welcoming and poured her a cup of hot water with a cup that said "Serve the People" written on it, telling her not to be nervous.
She admitted to being a little nervous, after all, she wasn't the original owner of this body.
It was just an identity that Little Lemon created to make her existence believable in this era.
When Zhou Xuehua's family members were brought over by the police, they showed no other emotion when they saw Fan Xiaofan; instead, they appeared impatient.
Before anyone else could speak, Zhou Xuehua's older brother said, "Sigh, what's the point of her coming to us? She's at most a relative of ours. Now her parents aren't even sending food or money. We're feeding her for nothing..."
Zhou Xuehua's sister-in-law rolled her eyes. She hadn't expected that after leaving Fan Xiaofan unattended for so long, the police would come looking for them now.
She said in a shrill voice, "Hey, officer, we haven't broken the law. We just can't afford to support her. Sending her back... that's not a crime, is it..."
Before anyone could say anything, Zhou Xuehua's family members started talking non-stop, leaving no room for a reply.
Fan Xiaofan blinked. This week, the family is so noisy.
At the behest of President Xu, the police officer coughed a few times and said, "Stop arguing. Do you know her?"
Zhou Xuehua's sister-in-law, who is also Fan Xiaofan's aunt, curled her lip and said, "How could I not recognize her? But this child seems to have gained some weight..."
As she said this, her eyes darted around rapidly, and then she rushed up to Fan Xiaofan and was about to slap him, but fortunately the police officer next to her stopped her in time.
Why are you hitting me?
Fan Xiaofan's aunt was extremely aggrieved: "We're starving at home! You see how plump and healthy this girl is, she must be hiding something good, maybe even stealing something from us..."
The police officer glanced at Fan Xiaofan without realizing it, then glared angrily at Fan Xiaofan's aunt: "What nonsense are you talking about? Look at that little girl, she's so skinny, how can she be called plump and chubby? You're just spouting nonsense."
Fan Xiaofan wasn't actually fat; she just looked healthier than her previous pale and thin appearance, which made her appear heavier. In fact, compared to many young women today, she was quite thin.
Her uncle also noticed this; as expected of a husband and wife, they thought of the same thing, wondering if his sister had given Fan Xiaofan some personal items...
Otherwise, how could a young girl like her, after being abandoned by them, live such a good life?
He thought she had starved to death outside.
So when I told my sister in Beidu the news, I wasn't nervous at all. But I didn't expect that the girl was still alive and seemed to be doing quite well. At least she had gained weight.
He tugged at his wife's sleeve, forcing a smile, and said, "Oh, you're right, but I don't know why you called us here? There's still work to be done in the fields; every day we miss a day's work points..."
The police officer snorted and said, "It seems this girl has had some trouble and has lost her memory. Since you are her relatives, how can you contact her parents?"
Uncle Zhou's face stiffened for a moment as he recalled the death notice he had sent to Beidu. If he were to say now that Xiao Fan was alright, wouldn't his sister expose their lie?
He pondered the matter in his mind and did not answer for a moment.
But amnesia means not remembering anything, right? No wonder the child looks at them like they're complete strangers...
