The villagers were all confused.
"I haven't heard of anyone losing a child? What happened?"
"What baby trafficking case? Is Li Jianzhong involved? Didn't his family move to the city a few years ago?"
"Who is Liang Xiuqing? Why haven't we heard of this person?"
In the crowd, Old Lady Liu, who had rushed over after hearing the news, stared with her eyes wide open. Next to her was her daughter Liu Lanxiang. Liu Lanxiang had already learned that Li Hongyan was not her in-laws' biological daughter, but was raised by her father-in-law for a woman named Liang Xiuqing.
The biological daughter of my parents-in-law was thrown away by my father-in-law and Li Jianzhong.
Have you found it now?
"Mom, what's going on?" She walked up to Chen Xiaoying cautiously and asked.
Chen Xiaoying nodded, glanced at Old Lady Liu, and said, "We found it. It's in Hujiazhuang."
Old Mrs. Liu's face changed immediately. When her granddaughter Li Yutong came to her to inquire about the news, she knew that something was wrong. But she thought that Chen Xiaoying had supported Li Hongyan for forty-eight years, and it was her turn now that she was old and it was time for Li Hongyan to repay her.
So, don't make a big fuss about it. If you make a fuss about it, a selfish person like Li Hongyan will start by saying, "You are not my biological mother," and then go on to talk about trivial things from the past few decades, saying that she is not treated well because she is not her biological mother. Then, she can erase all the kindness that Chen Xiaoying showed her in raising her with just a few words.
Li Hongyan is really good at talking. She can confuse right and wrong all the time.
She really didn't expect that Chen Xiaoying's biological child was still alive and she actually found him.
She felt a little guilty at the moment. If she had told Chen Xiaoying earlier, would she have been able to find her own daughter earlier?
Old Lady Liu thought so, but she did not regret it. Chen Xiaoying had only become independent in recent years. Before, she had no opinion of her own. Whatever Li Pingwang said at home was the truth. Even if she told her, she probably would not believe it. If Li Pingwang and Li Hongyan, father and daughter, came to find trouble with her, she would have no way of explaining herself.
Liu Lanxiang was shocked. She actually found her dear sister-in-law.
Old Lady Liu secretly pulled her daughter's clothes and whispered to her, "When your dear sister-in-law comes back, you must be nice to her, okay?"
Liu Lanxiang listened to her mother and nodded immediately.
Looking at Li Hongyan's eyes, he was also full of gloating. Now that her elder sister-in-law was coming back, she would no longer have the power to call the shots in the Li family.
The villagers didn't know what was going on, but as the police station comrades questioned them, Li Pingwang confessed everything one by one, and gradually the truth came to light.
It was as if a basin of water was poured into a frying pan, with a bang, flames started.
"Oh my God, what's wrong with Li Pingwang's brain? He exchanged his own biological daughter and raised a child born by a woman outside?"
"Over the years, he has been raising this child he brought in from outside like an ancestor, and treating his own sons Li Hongwei and others as if they were picked up from outside. He is an amazing father."
"You have no conscience. Did you hear that? The biological daughter has been found. She is in Hujia Village. The whole family is disabled. It's too hard for her to grow up in such a family."
"Yes, how much hardship he must have endured, serving such a family with a cripple, a blind man, and a mental patient. How could Li Pingwang be so cruel?"
My own daughter actually lives this kind of life.
Li Pingwang's eyes widened: "I, I don't, don't, know, don't, know."
Knowing this, he would definitely try to find a way to get the child back and send him to a better family to raise him.
After all, she is his biological daughter, and he can't bear to let her suffer like this.
"Let's go, while there's still time, and talk it out face to face." The police station people were so efficient that they took the frightened Li Pingwang, who was in tears, into the car.
This time two cars came, and Chen Xiaoying got in and left.
In the yard, the villagers were talking about it, and everyone looked at Li Hongyan who was standing there stupidly, with something strange in their eyes.
"Hongyan, you are so lucky."
"Yes, your biological mother didn't want you anymore, but your father would rather not have his own child, so he exchanged you back."
Some people in the crowd started laughing.
People looked at her even more strangely.
Everyone was young once. If a man did such a thing when he was young, it could only be because Li Hongyan was the daughter of Li Pingwang and Liang Xiuqing, and Li Pingwang loved Liang Xiuqing and was willing to raise her daughter. There must be something fishy between the two of them.
Li Hongyan’s eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
It would have been better to make it clear just now that her father is someone else and not Li Pingwang at all.
Now, she has become the daughter of a mistress, and naturally she has become an enemy of her brothers and sisters because her mother cheated on her and stole their father.
"Are there any of you here? It's okay, I'm going to lock the door." Liu Lanxiang felt very painful seeing Li Hongyan embarrassed, but Li Pingwang was her father-in-law. What were these people thinking? Just looking at the ambiguity on their faces, she knew it was not a good thing.
She is the daughter-in-law of the Li family, so she is also embarrassed.
Since Li Hongyan is no longer my biological daughter, I can't leave her alone in this old house.
She was a person who had always been good at rummaging around in the old house since she was a child. It was she who secretly took away her mother-in-law Chen Xiaoying's dowry jewelry in a bundle.
"Liu Lanxiang, what do you mean? Are you trying to drive me away?" Li Hongyan was furious. Anyone could give her a cold shoulder, except Liu Lanxiang.
Liu Lanxiang always thought that Li Hongyan just disliked her. When her husband Li Hongwei refused to lend her money, Li Hongyan always thought it was her instigation. In fact, Li Hongyan deliberately suppressed Liu Lanxiang: first, because Liu Lanxiang did not listen to her, and most of her family members were smart and she could not calculate them; second, because Liu Lanxiang was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family, when her parents were old, she would have the final say in the Li family.
Isn't this tantamount to challenging her authority and status?
Although she is married, she has the final say in matters concerning her parents' home.
So when Liu Lanxiang came home, she joined forces with her parents and brothers to ostracize and suppress Liu Lanxiang even though Liu Lanxiang did not provoke her.
"I was wronged. I didn't even know about this."
"I just found out about this too. Oh, Dad, Mom, what should I do?"
"Mom, they say once a mother is a mother, always a mother. You will always be my mother."
No matter what others said, Li Hongyan immediately started crying and expressed her attitude: even if she was not her biological child, she had lived up to the kindness of her adoptive parents in raising her, and she was still a loyal and trustworthy person.
"Hurry up and leave. I'm going to lock the door." Liu Lanxiang could tell at a glance that Li Hongyan was crying fake tears and urged her to leave quickly.
Zhao Faliang was stunned just now. Li Hongyan had not told him a single word about all this from beginning to end. Now that the police station had come to his door, he realized that his wife was not Li's biological daughter.
He has a strong sense of self-esteem. Liu Lanxiang has already driven them away, so why are they still staying here?
"Hurry up and leave. Don't you mind being ashamed?" Zhao Faliang said angrily. He glared at Liu Lanxiang and walked out first.
Li Hongyan could only grit her teeth, pack up her things and leave.
Liu Lanxiang stared for a few seconds before locking the gate after all the villagers had left.
