Su Ruyi rose and refused their greetings.
"It's best to confirm this matter."
Moreover, the old man said that Xia Tianxiu was impersonating someone else on purpose, and that she knew she wasn't a child of the Qi family.
Zhang Ruyi's parents originally intended to marry her off to someone from their own village, but...
Three days ago, a matchmaker from another village went to marry her off to someone in Inner Mongolia, more than 1,000 kilometers away!
They will give more betrothal gifts, 300 yuan!
With such a high dowry and the marriage being to someone from afar, the bride will probably be from a family with a disabled or mentally challenged member!
I always felt that Summer Show was also involved in this matter.
But how did she know that your real daughter was in Zhangqiao Village?
Upon hearing Su Ruyi's words, Qi Yaqin and Qi Yasheng exchanged a glance.
Qi Yasheng immediately said:
"Sister, let's not alert them yet!"
Now that we've confirmed that Zhang Ruyi is my niece, let's make further plans!
If the woman surnamed Xia is deliberately deceiving us, then our family will not let her off easily!
"I won't let her get away with this!"
Xia Yaqin nodded.
"That makes sense!"
Whenever I see someone with the surname Xia, I just can't stand anything about them!
It turns out she was a fraud! A fake!
It's hateful that she kept lying to my father until he passed away, and I never exposed her!
Thankfully, my father knows this from beyond the grave…
The next morning, Su Ruyi and her siblings Qi Yaqin and Qi Yasheng set off early and arrived at Zhangqiao Village around 8 o'clock.
Zhang Dehui and his family did not go to work that day.
When Su Ruyi knocked on the courtyard gate, the family of four stood neatly in the yard.
Qi Yaqin's gaze instantly locked onto the dark-skinned girl in front of her.
Immediately, she covered her mouth, and two lines of tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Yes, they look so alike, especially in their eyes and brows...
The magic of blood ties was proven in that instant.
Although Qi Yaqin was arrogant and domineering, while this girl had a meek and obedient expression, if the two of them stood together, anyone could tell that they were mother and daughter.
The mother and daughter looked exactly alike, except that Qi Yaqin was well-fed and plump, while the girl was very dark and thin.
Zhang Ruyi looked at Qi Yaqin, and was also stunned.
No further proof is needed.
The middle-aged woman in front of her evoked an instinctive urge to get closer to her.
However, she was still mindful of her adoptive parents' feelings, and her gaze drifted towards Xia Liuer.
At this moment, Zhang Dehui and Xia Liuer were trembling like leaves.
Zhang Dehui stammered, "Comrades, this...this is all a misunderstanding."
Qi Yasheng snorted, "What misunderstanding? Didn't you buy the child from the nanny?"
As he spoke, he took out a portrait: "Come and take a look!"
Zhang Dehui and Xia Liuer stepped forward, trembling. Upon seeing the portrait, they immediately exclaimed in unison, "It's her! She's the one who sold it to us!"
Tears streaming down her face, Xia Liuer added, "The child was bought for five yuan. The woman said her family had suffered a disaster and couldn't afford to raise him, so she asked us for a bowl of millet porridge to keep him alive... Over the years, we haven't neglected the child..."
Xia Liuer covered her face and squatted down, sobbing.
Zhang Ruyi was already crying with snot and tears all over her face. She couldn't take it anymore, so she turned around and went back to her room. Soon after, the sound of her wailing came from inside.
The thin young man standing behind the group was clearly Zhang Ruyi's brother. He clenched his fists tightly and suddenly punched the wall.
Qi Yaqin looked at him, her gaze displeased: "What's wrong with you?"
Qi Yasheng stopped her: "Young man, I know you're upset. Don't worry, our family will make it up to you."
As he spoke, he took out a thick envelope and handed it to Zhang Dehui.
Zhang Dehui repeatedly declined, saying, "No, no, Cadre Su has already given me so much. I bought the child once; I can't sell her again!"
Qi Yasheng gently advised, "This isn't a business transaction; it's a gift from Tianyue to you!"
"Sweet Moon?" Xia Liuer asked, puzzled.
Qi Yaqin said, "The child's name has already been chosen; her name is Qiao Tianyue."
Zhang Ruyi's brother murmured, "Sweet Moon...it sounds so nice."
After saying this, the young man looked at Zhang Dehui and said, "Dad, I actually knew a long time ago that my sister was bought, and so was I! Why aren't my parents important figures in the capital? Why haven't they come looking for me?"
Zhang Dehui and Xia Liuer were both dumbfounded: "Son, how did you know?!"
The young man glared at the two men with hatred, then suddenly turned and ran away.
However, this is not something that Su Ruyi and the others need to worry about.
Qi Yaqin stood at the door of Zhang Ruyi's room and gently knocked: "Child, may I come in? I want to talk to you."
A very soft voice came from inside: "Please come in."
Qi Yaqin took a deep breath, pushed open the door, went inside, and closed the door.
A moment later, the sound of a mother and daughter crying came from inside the house, and then a moment later, laughter came.
Half an hour later, Qi Yaqin came out, followed by Zhang Ruyi, who was carrying a bundle in her hand.
She knelt before Zhang Dehui and Xia Liuer and kowtowed three times: "Mom and Dad, thank you for raising me."
Su Ruyi couldn't help but shed tears.
The car was parked at the entrance of the village.
Qi Yasheng, carrying Zhang Ruyi's package, opened the car door for her.
This was Zhang Ruyi's first time riding in a car, and she was at a loss, not knowing how to get on.
Qi Yasheng then kindly demonstrated it for her.
Just as the car was about to start, Xia Liuer chased after it, crying and shoving a bag of red eggs into Zhang Ruyi's arms: "Girl, you have to eat a red egg before you go out... Eat slowly... Don't choke..."
Zhang Ruyi looked at the seven or eight red eggs that were stuffed into her arms and covered her mouth again.
These were originally wedding eggs for her when she got married.
Zhang Ruyi burst into tears.
Qi Yaqin advised, "There's no need for that, Yue'er. If you want to come back to see your... foster parents, you can come back anytime, as long as your uncle's car is available. There's no need for that, ah..."
Just as the car was about to start, Zhang Ruyi's brother suddenly rushed over again and clung to the car window.
Looking at Zhang Ruyi, he couldn't say anything more.
After holding back for a long time, he said with tears in his eyes, "Sister, take care! The family has let you down, I apologize to you!"
As he spoke, he bowed deeply.
Zhang Ruyi choked up and said, "Brother, take care of yourself too. The family debts should be paid off this time. You and sister-in-law must take good care of Mom and Dad. I... I will come back to see you."
"Don't come back!" Zhang Ruyi's brother gritted his teeth and said, "Don't come back again. Mom and Dad aren't good people, and neither is your brother. Don't come back!"
After saying this, he turned around and ran away.
Zhang Dehui and Xia Liuer stood at the village entrance, supporting each other, watching the car disappear into the distance.
