Uncle Zhou doesn't really like his younger sister, Zhou Xuehua. You know, she married so well, into the Beidu compound. Even if she only got a little bit of money, it would make their lives a little better.
But once a daughter is married, she's like water spilled from a cup. Not only do they not provide financial support to their own families, but they also leave a little girl to be raised in their home.
With our family's circumstances, we can't even afford to eat our fill, yet we have time to support outsiders.
He didn't feel any remorse for abandoning the girl; even her own mother didn't take care of her, so they had no obligation to.
However, the child does seem to have gained weight.
That makes sense. After all, they are mother and daughter. Zhou Xuehua couldn't be so cruel to her own child. She must have something planned.
Gaining weight at this time is no easy feat. Thinking this, Uncle Zhou instantly put on a loving expression and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "My dear niece, you must be suffering out there..."
Fan Xiaofan was taken aback by Uncle Zhou's sudden enthusiasm. This nominal family was really interesting. One second he almost slapped her in the face, and now he was acting like a close relative.
I'm afraid he's sick.
She blinked innocently, then shrank back fearfully behind a female police officer, saying, "I don't remember anything..."
The poor little thing's appearance instantly stirred the policewoman's maternal instincts. She sternly looked at the Zhou family: "How could you abandon such a pitiful child? What if something happens to her? Alright, alright, contact her parents to come and pick her up. If you don't want to raise her, her parents should..."
Uncle Zhou's enthusiasm wasn't sudden; he was simply curious whether Fan Xiaofan had anything valuable on him.
Firstly, he hasn't gotten his hands on the item yet, and secondly, he already informed Zhou Xuehua of her death, which is a contradiction now. His sister is not someone to be trifled with.
He wasn't going to listen to that, and instead chuckled lewdly, saying, "There's no need for all that trouble. I'll take the child back, and then I'll contact the child's parents."
Just then, President Xu, who was talking to the police chief outside, pushed open the door and entered, smiling as he said, "That won't be necessary. I'll take care of the child."
President Xu has finished reviewing the information about Fan Xiaofan, and with the confirmation from the Zhou family, there's no problem with Xiaofan's identity, however...
It's truly heartbreaking to think about; this child was abandoned by his own family because they disliked him and thought it was a waste of food.
Fortunately, the girl was clever and settled herself down; otherwise, if she had really starved to death outside, it would have been a huge loss for the country.
He turned to the middle-aged man with a crew cut in police uniform and said, "Captain Liu, thank you for your help. We have something urgent to attend to here and need to leave immediately."
Fan Xiaofan finally left the Zhou family and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. President Xu, who was sitting next to her in the back seat, couldn't help but smile: "What's wrong, not used to it?"
She nodded, raising her head without concealing the unfamiliarity in her eyes.
"It's not your fault, since you don't remember them anymore. I'm sorry, we can't let you go back with your relatives. But I didn't expect that it's better to leave your relatives aside. Perhaps we should wait for your parents to come and pick you up..."
He sighed again and continued, "These identity checks are necessary. Our country is rebuilding from scratch, but there are still many people with ulterior motives lurking in our ranks, trying to sabotage our path to becoming a strong nation. We must be extremely cautious."
Fan Xiaofan's expression also became serious, and he earnestly replied, "I understand."
