The four of them sat in the last row of the bus, and Su Ying told Jiang Xiuqin what happened on the train.
"Well, if Xia Lianfang hadn't been so cruel and stolen another child, we might not have found the cave, and if we couldn't find the diary, we wouldn't have been able to help those eight children find their biological parents."
Jiang Xiuqin was extremely grateful. "Comrade Xiao Su, it is thanks to you that we have the opportunity to find our son. I know in my heart that you are the benefactor of our whole family."
"It was because of your alertness that you realized that Mrs. Hua was Xia Lianfang in disguise. You were willing to take the risk of being the bait. I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life."
Su Ying looked at the honest man sitting to Jiang Xiuqin's right and asked with a smile, "Lu Ming looks like his mother, not his father."
Jiang Xiuqin was also generous and told Su Ying about her and her husband's situation. "I was married once before, but my husband died. My in-laws scolded me for being unlucky, and I was kicked out while I was pregnant."
Su Ying was puzzled, "So they don't even care about their children?"
Jiang Xiuqin has gone through the most difficult period. "My mother-in-law has many sons, she doesn't care. Several uncles are unwilling to take on more responsibility. No one wants to keep me. I get tired of living in my parents' house after living there for too long."
Although my parents didn't say anything, my sisters-in-law took the opportunity to split the family, and in the end, the only option left was to get married."
Jiang Xiuqin is pretty and capable. She said she wanted to remarry, and her parents found several candidates for her. Some of them were willing to pay a 200 yuan dowry for her second marriage, but they requested not to have children.
Jiang Xiuqin was more than four months pregnant at that time. She couldn't bear to leave the baby in her belly, so she ran away in anger and met Qiu Fengnian.
The man also had a miserable life. He was kidnapped when he was young. He didn't remember his biological parents and had also cut off ties with his adoptive parents.
Because of a work-related injury while rescuing cultural relics, he became lame and retired to work as a warehouse manager. He couldn't have a wife, but the leader of the unit was a kind person. He allocated a one-bedroom apartment to the honest Qiu Fengnian according to his length of service.
At that time, Jiang Xiuqin insisted on giving birth to the child, and moved out of her parents' home out of anger, with nowhere to go. She was met by Qiu Fengnian, and the man rented the house to her.
"I had no other options at the time, so I went to rent a house from a man I didn't know."
Jiang Xiuqin had a pair of scissors hidden in her sleeves for self-defense. If she met a bad guy, she would fight to the death.
She laughed at herself, "He is such an honest man. From the time I was pregnant to the time I gave birth, it was the landlord who ran around and helped me carry rice and gas tanks. You don't know, the rumors that spread at the time were really ugly. They said Qiu Fengnian wanted my body, and I wanted Qiu Fengnian to help me raise my child."
Su Ying saw Qiu Fengnian's aura, which was light green in color, very pure without any impurities. He was an honest and good person.
She said, "Even if it is, what does it matter? We each get what we need. I didn't eat someone else's rice, nor did I sleep in someone else's bed. Did you curse back at me?"
Jiang Xiuqin was stunned. No one had ever told her this. At that time, she went out with a bulging belly. She met Qiu Fengnian’s neighbor and colleague. When they met and said hello, everyone would point fingers at her when she turned her back. Her family even called her shameless and said they couldn’t understand what she was trying to do.
She just wants to find a man who can accept a child so that she can live a good life and raise the child.
Jiang Xiuqin touched her still pretty and youthful face. When her husband died, her husband's sisters-in-law were afraid that she would have an affair with some uncles, so they urged her mother-in-law to drive her away.
Her parents advised her not to have children, saying that she could start over if she didn't have them. But every time she thought about not having children, the child would kick her in her stomach and she would suddenly feel reluctant to give it up.
Her parents thought she was disobedient and no one came to visit her during her confinement period.
Qiu Fengnian was the only one in the hospital when she gave birth. Later, she gave birth to a son, but her husband's family's several sisters-in-law gave birth to daughters one after another in the following years, so her husband's family came to fight for the son.
If it weren’t for that quarrel that left no one to look after the child, Lu Ming wouldn’t have been lost.
Jiang Xiuqin let out a long breath, "Qiu Fengnian and I have an agreement that when we find Mingming, we will get married. He doesn't mind that I've been married and have children, and I don't mind that he has a disabled leg."
Su Ying was surprised and asked, "You haven't gotten married yet, why are you waiting so long?"
"Qiu Fengnian didn't want to get married until we found the child. He said if we got married and had another child, there would be too many messy things and we wouldn't have the energy to look for the child. He encouraged me to persevere. We worked and looked for the child over the years, and almost all our savings were spent on travel expenses."
Su Ying could give Qiu Fengnian a score of 90, even though she saw the birthmark on Qiu Fengnian's neck, which was the same as the birthmark found on Xia Lianfang's abducted son when Duan Fan investigated.
She smiled and said, "That's great, Brother Qiu. When you pick up Lu Ming, you can get married when you go back."
Qiu Fengnian smiled naively, too embarrassed to respond, but took out a brand new red wool scarf from the canvas bag at his feet with great care.
It is October now and the weather in Beijing is cold, but it is not yet the season to wear a scarf.
Qiu Fengnian explained: "This was a birthday present Mingming gave me a few days before he went missing. I thought if I wore the scarf he gave me, maybe the child would remember it."
Jiang Xiuqin didn't know: "Mingming also gave you a gift, why didn't you take it out for me to see in the past few years."
"I was afraid you would be upset by the scarf, so Mingming bought it with his New Year's money."
Su Ying said: "Then you should wear it. The scarf is red, and Mingming bought it with his New Year's money. Maybe it can really stimulate him to remember it.
"Okay, then I'll listen to my benefactor."
Both of them had red eyes. Jiang Xiuqin held the scarf with both hands and tied it around the man's neck. She was very skillful and the knot she tied looked very beautiful.
Although it was strange to wear a scarf in this weather, the scarf just happened to cover the birthmark the size of two coins on the back of Qiu Fengnian's neck.
Su Ying smiled and said, "This scarf is very nice. Mingming has a good taste. He and Brother Qiu have a father-son relationship. I hope your family will live a peaceful life in the future."
"Thank you for your good wishes." The couple thanked them repeatedly.
Han Jingyuan listened to them in silence all the way and observed their expressions and movements. He saw the birthmark on the back of Qiu Fengnian's neck. It was the same shape and color as the birthmark on Xia Lianfang's son as recorded in the file after Duan Fan's visit and verification.
Su Ying also saw it and encouraged Qiu Fengnian to wear the scarf.
However, to pick up the child from the hospital, Qiu Fengnian and Jiang Xiuqin had to go to the Municipal Bureau to take statements and register. It was impossible for him to wear a scarf in the Municipal Bureau.
The bright red wool scarf, which is not suitable for this season, would arouse Duan Yu's suspicion.
…
Xiao Luming has been transferred to a single room as there are so many children in the room that there is no room for everyone.
Han Xinxing sat cross-legged on the quilt and told him, "I heard from Uncle Duan that your parents, I mean your biological children, have been looking for you for the past few years. They will come to pick you up soon. You have to be sensible and call them mom and dad obediently, so they won't be sad."
Xiao Luming hesitated, "But I don't remember."
"Then don't call me for now. You can call me later when you are familiar with me."
Gu Zhinan was like a caring elder, so his sister never forced him to call anyone. The last time his mother went to South Island to see him, his sister also respected his ideas.
Han Jingchen felt mixed emotions, even a little envious, "Lu Ming, at least you still have your parents, you should cherish them."
Gu Cancan followed the crowd and thought that what her uncle, brother and sister said were all right. For a moment, she didn't know whose opinion to agree with.
She stood obediently beside Ji Chuanbai and looked up to ask for his opinion, "Uncle, tell me, should Lu Ming call him mom and dad?"
Ji Chuanbai is thin and handsome, and doesn't like to laugh. He looks cold to outsiders, and only little Sheng Qinghe has seen him. He is more obedient than anyone else in front of Su Ying, and his voice trembles pitifully whenever he opens his mouth.
But it’s not like that now. Ji Chuanbai’s tone was emotionless. “Listen to my sister.”
"But Sister Xingxing said she wanted to call me mom and dad."
Ji Chuanbai lowered his head and glared at Cancan, saying disdainfully, "Stupid."
Only Gu Zhinan and Han Xinxing understood what Ji Chuanbai said. Xingxing yelled angrily, "Uncle, you are not allowed to bully Cancan. Second Aunt will be angry."
This statement can control Ji Chuanbai. When he heard that Su Ying would be angry, he frowned and compromised, "Okay, smart."
Han Jingchen reacted and said disdainfully, "Ji Chuanbai, you have no principles at all."
Ji Chuanbai despised Han Jingchen even more, thinking he was too stupid and didn't even bother to talk to him.
Ji Chuanbai's twin brother was studying at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in Beijing. He was called in to be recognized on the first day after he was rescued. Facing an identical face, Ji Chuanbai was not so resistant to Ji Liwen.
Ji Liwen is a 20-year-old young man with a mature mind. He occasionally greets the old men at the school gate when he enters and leaves the school.
Who would have thought that he could imprison his twin brother and yet greet his younger brother as if nothing had happened.
Ji Liwen even wanted to kill Qian Yousheng.
He hid all his emotions in his heart, stood at the door of the ward, and smiled gently: "Brother, my parents just called the hospital and said they got off the train and will be here in half an hour. Why don't we go back to our ward and wait."
There are too many people in Lu Ming's ward, and Lu Ming's parents will come to recognize him soon. Together with his parents, this ward cannot accommodate so many people.
Ji Chuanbai immediately carried Gu Zhinan, Gu Cancan, Han Jingchen, and the naked Han Xinxing down, then stood with them and firmly expressed his determination, "Return to South Island."
Ji Pingliang's transfer is already in the process, and since his son has been found, the process is moving very quickly. This time he will return to Beijing to recognize his relatives and stay.
The family will never return to the South Island.
Ji Liwen didn't dare to provoke his brother, "Then we'll discuss it after our parents arrive."
Han Xinxing was not satisfied. "Uncle, you have your own parents. You can't go back to South Island with us. Besides, we only have two rooms. We can't accommodate you."
Ji Chuanbai's negative emotions came up, and his eyes became colder and colder as he stared at Han Xinxing, which even made adults feel scared.
But Han Xinxing was fearless. He circled them with his hand and said, "Uncle, we are all Second Aunt's treasures. Don't have any extreme or bad intentions towards us. Second Aunt will definitely be angry and ignore you."
This trick really worked. Ji Chuanbai's eyes softened and he asked nervously, "What can I do to you? I can't do it."
The order of the sentences was problematic, but Han Xinxing understood the meaning.
She held Ji Chuanbai's hand and said, "Come on, let's go outside. I'll tell you one thing at a time. If you listen to me, Second Aunt won't be angry anymore."
When there are outsiders around, Han Xinxing doesn't call her mother "mom", but in her heart, no one can take her mother away from her.
Gu Zhinan was told by Su Ying to keep an eye on Ji Chuanbai and not let anyone provoke him, so he followed Han Xinxing and Ji Chuanbai out.
Ji Liwen thought about it and thought, Han Xinxing is a quirky girl, who knows what she will say, so he decided to follow her and see.
…
"You are finally here, Xiao Su. Your children have been playing with Lu Ming and have persuaded him. The words of these children are more effective than ours. Lu Ming is much more stable today."
Xie Feicui took a few days off to spend more time with her newly found son. Now, she held little Sheng Qinghe in her arms and picked up Su Ying, Han Jingyuan, and Lu Ming's parents at the hospital gate, and took them to the ward.
The ward was just around the corner, and Jiang Xiuqin's steps became heavier. She felt a little homesick and worried about gains and losses.
"What if my son doesn't recognize me? What if he refuses to go back with us?"
Qiu Fengnian touched the red scarf around his neck and said, "Then let's take a long vacation and stay with our son in the hospital. We can go home after he recognizes us. There is always a way. Let's go in and see the child first."
In the room, little Lu Ming was sitting on the bed. Jiang Xiuqin looked at the birthmark on his body with trembling hands. In fact, there was no need to look at the birthmark. He was her own son. The sense of familiarity could not be erased.
Su Ying told her not to get too emotional so as not to upset the child, so Jiang Xiuqin suppressed her sadness and acted as anxious as if she had just returned from a business trip and learned that her son was sick, so she rushed to the hospital to see him.
She stroked her son's hair and smiled gently, "Mingming, I'm your mother. We've been apart for a long time this time. Do you still remember your mother?"
Lu Ming shook his head. He really didn’t remember, but this mother was so gentle that he naturally wanted to be close to her.
Jiang Xiuqin talked about some things from her child's childhood, and she felt very sad when she saw that her son didn't remember anything. But she couldn't blame the child, as he was too young at that time.
Jiang Xiuqin held back her tears and pointed at Qiu Fengnian who had been silently standing behind her. "Mingming, this is Uncle Qiu. The red wool scarf he is wearing is your birthday gift that you bought with your lucky money. You and Uncle Qiu bought it together without telling your mother. Do you remember?"
The bright red color was eye-catching. Xiao Luming seemed to remember something of it and stared at the scarf around Qiu Fengnian's neck for several minutes.
The adults didn't dare to interrupt. Little Lu Ming looked at it for a while and finally said, "It cost three dollars, right?"
Jiang Xiuqin covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying. It was just three yuan. She gave her son one yuan as a New Year's money that year, and Qiu Fengnian gave him two yuan. The man said on the way that the scarf was bought by Lu Ming with all the New Year's money.
Qiu Fengnian suppressed his sorrow and joy, and took out a cloth tiger head from his bag. The word "king" was embroidered on the tiger's forehead with black thread.
Qiu Fengnian held the cloth tiger in both hands and handed it to Lu Ming, "Mingming, you gave uncle a scarf. This is the birthday gift that uncle promised to give you. Cloth tiger, do you like it?"
Lu Ming saw the cloth tiger, then looked at the red scarf, thought about it again and again, and finally remembered it.
"Dad." Lu Ming shouted, took the cloth tiger and held it in his arms, treating it like a baby. "I just want a cloth tiger."
Although I have forgotten many people and many things, I have not forgotten this strongest wish.
Jiang Xiuqin couldn't believe it, "Mingming, what did you call Uncle Qiu just now?"
Lu Ming held the cloth tiger and finally remembered something. He looked at Jiang Xiuqin and said, "Mom, do you remember that we agreed that if uncle chose my favorite cloth tiger for me, I would call him dad. Did you forget?"
Jiang Xiuqin didn't forget. How could she forget? Lu Ming's birthday and Qiu Fengnian's were in the same month. On that day, the mother and son agreed that if Qiu Fengnian chose a cloth tiger as a gift for his birthday that year, Lu Ming would call him dad. Jiang Xiuqin had planned to get married with Qiu Fengnian after her son's birthday.
The two adults couldn't suppress their emotions and they hugged Lu Ming on both sides and cried bitterly. The recognition process was considered to be very smooth.
Su Ying waved to Han Jingchen and Gu Cancan, took them out, then closed the door of the ward, leaving time for the family of three inside.
In the corridor, she asked, "Where are Zhinan and Xingxing?"
Han Jingchen said: "Ji Chuanbai is very dangerous. He will be hostile to anyone who is close to you. Xingxing went to teach him a lesson."
Su Ying also discovered this, so after coming out of the cave, she never saw Ji Chuanbai again.
She really wanted to know what Han Xinxing had said, so she said, "Let's go and listen."
…
The door on the stairwell was half made of glass. Ji Liwen was standing outside the door. When he saw Su Ying and the others coming, he quietly made a gesture and pointed inside the door.
On the stairs, Han Xinxing and Ji Chuanbai sat on the steps, and Gu Zhinan leaned on the railing on the steps.
Han Xinxing listed them one by one like a little adult, saying, "Mom doesn't belong to just anyone. She's my little uncle's sister, my second aunt, Cancan's mother, and my second uncle's wife. I like mom very much, but I still have to share it equally with Cancan, my chou brother, my little uncle, and my second uncle."
"So, uncle, you must never do anything to hurt us, such as standing behind us and pushing us down the stairs or into the river. All kinds of intentional harm are not allowed. If you do that, Mom will never see you again."
Ji Chuanbai nodded repeatedly, "I will protect you."
He finally understood why his sister never came to see him, because in the cave, his sister held Qinghe but not him, and he pushed Sheng Qinghe and was severely scolded by his sister.
Han Xinxing added: "I will use my uncle's pocket money to buy you a copy of the Criminal Law. Don't do anything that will be punished."
Gu Zhinan put down his arm that was resting on the railing and protested, "Why is it my pocket money? Why do you use other people's money to give you gifts?"
Han Xinxing rolled his eyes, "Who told you to be stingy with your pocket money? Help your uncle spend some, don't be so stingy."
Gu Zhinan looked at Ji Chuanbai's expectant eyes and gritted his teeth, "Buy it."
"Go now!"
Ji Chuanbai pulled Han Xinxing up and was about to leave. He turned around and saw Su Ying through the glass on the door. He dropped Han Xinxing in his hand, pushed the door open and ran out, saying very obediently, "Sister, let's go back to South Island together."
Su Ying shook her head and said, "Your parents will be here soon, so go meet them later."
Ji Chuanbai nodded heavily, "I've met you, and then I'll leave."
Su Ying sighed inwardly, it was impossible for her to take him with her.
The person has parents and brothers, so even if she could take him away, she wouldn't. She doesn't even know which body her original self will use to wake up, so she can't take care of herself.
Su Ying said: "You will live with your parents and brothers in the future, so get used to it slowly."
Ji Chuanbai was very disappointed that they couldn't go back to South Island together. "Is it okay if I don't call you?"
Su Ying understood and said to Ji Liwen, "It's up to you whether you want to call me mom and dad. If you want to, call me mom and dad. If you don't want to, let's just be friends first."
Han Jingyuan was used to Su Ying's attitude. When he came to see Zhinan's mother last time, Su Ying also gave Zhinan advice in this way.
But Ji Chuanbai’s situation is different. After getting Su Ying’s opinion, Ji Chuanbai will not call out his parents, and may even be very resistant.
Han Jingyuan looked at Su Ying.
Su Ying met Han Jingyuan's eyes, seeing that he was hesitant to speak, and said, "Look at me again, I won't force Chuanbai to do something he doesn't like. It's just a name, why force him."
Han Jingyuan was helpless, "That's not what I meant. Come here, I have something to say to you alone."
Su Ying and Han Jingyuan went to the other end of the corridor.
Han Jingyuan did not hide it from Su Ying and said, "I also saw the birthmark on the back of Brother Qiu's neck. He is most likely Xia Lianfang's lost son. After recognizing his father, he will not wear a scarf when he goes to the Municipal Bureau. The police officers handling this case can recite the case files. Someone will definitely find the birthmark on the back of his neck. How do you think we should deal with this matter?"
Su Ying thought about it and felt that Xia Lianfang was hateful, but Qiu Fengnian had done nothing wrong.
She said, "Then don't ask Brother Qiu to go. I'll talk to Jiang Xiuqin instead."
"You need to tell her the truth about Brother Qiu's background. What if..."
Lu Ming was abducted by Xia Lianfang. Han Jingyuan couldn't bear the thought that Jiang Xiuqin would vent her anger on Qiu Fengnian and the family that had finally been reunited would be broken up again.
Su Ying was sure Jiang Xiuqin wouldn't do that. She said, "Your mother sent me pink and rose-red woolen fabrics, and Nan Dao couldn't wear thick clothes. She just felt disgusted that I was a second-marriage. I didn't take my anger out on you."
Han Jingyuan was shocked. "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"
Su Ying smiled and said, "After your mother sent the letter, I put the material away. If she does this again next time, I will send her a disgusting message. You should stop interfering."
Han Jingyuan blushed and was at a loss, "You can just tell me that you don't have to deal with her."
Su Ying said: "These are all small things. I think they are quite fun. You don't have to take them to heart. Send the four children back, then drive to pick me up. Let's go see Su Xinyi together."
"Okay." Han Jingyuan knew that his mother had been hiding something from him, so he stopped and said obediently, "I'll listen to you and pick you up later."
…
Su Ying returned to Lu Ming's ward. Jiang Xiuqin and her son became much closer. Lu Ming was holding a cloth tiger in Jiang Xiuqin's arms.
Lu Ming still remembers that when he was in Su Ying's arms, all the discomfort in his body was relieved.
The child held up the cloth tiger like a treasure and said softly, "Auntie Su, this is the cloth tiger my dad bought for me."
"It's really beautiful. When you go back, don't go with strangers or eat food from strangers."
Lu Ming nodded, "Sister Xingxing has taught me everything."
Qiu Fengnian had already taken off the red scarf from around his neck, folded it carefully and put it into his bag. Especially when he bent down, the birthmark on the back of his neck was immediately visible.
This time they were going to get the marriage certificate, and Qiu Fengnian was filled with joy as he had a legitimate and complete family. The miserable days for him and Jiang Xiuqin were over.
"Comrade Su, our family doesn't know how to thank you enough. Please come find us when you go to Pengcheng next time."
"Okay." Su Ying asked, "Are you going to the Municipal Bureau?"
Jiang Xiuqin was full of gratitude to Su Ying. "The city bureau's car is waiting for us in the parking lot. When we're done, Xiao Su, I'll treat your family to dinner tonight."
Su Ying knew that the couple had spent all their savings looking for their child over the years, and that they had borrowed money to pay for the round-trip fare.
Su Ying said, "No need for dinner, but I really have something I want to trouble Sister Xiuqin with. Can we talk alone?"
No matter what kind of help Su Ying wanted to provide, Jiang Xiuqin had already thought about it, and she would be obliged to do it, even if it meant going through fire and water.
She handed the child to Qiu Fengnian's arms and said, "You and Mingming stay in the room. I'll come over after I talk to Xiao Su."
In the corridor, Su Ying told Jiang Xiuqin roughly about Xia Lianfang's life and her almost pathological obsession with children with birthmarks, which she wanted to kidnap if she saw one.
"Captain Duan found out that her abducted son had an irregular birthmark on the back of his neck. The shape of the birthmark was the same as that on Brother Qiu's neck. Brother Qiu's age also matched. My husband and I speculated that Brother Qiu was most likely Xia Lianfang's lost son."
"I don't know whether I should let Brother Qiu know about my life experience, so the decision is still up to you."
Jiang Xiuqin was stunned. How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
If Xia Lianfang's son had not been lost, she would not have met Qiu Fengnian. Xia Lianfang lost her son, and her son was kidnapped by accident.
Now that her son has been found, she and Qiu Fengnian will get their marriage certificate when they return. There cannot be any more troubles in this family.
Jiang Xiuqin made a decision immediately, "Xiao Su, thank you for telling me. I will take the children to the Public Security Bureau by myself. I will think of a reason to ask Qiu Fengnian not to go."
Su Ying guessed that Jiang Xiuqin would not vent her anger on Qiu Fengnian because he had such a mother.
She breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's easy to find a reason. I broke a teacup today. I want to go to the market again to see if I can find the same one. Let Brother Qiu help me keep an eye out."
Qiu Fengnian used to work in a museum. He had a good eye and actually found the same teacup for him. However, the boss refused to sell it to him. “Someone has ordered it, but the man didn’t bring enough money. He paid a deposit and asked me to keep it. People should be trustworthy. I can’t sell it to you.”
Su Ying asked about the appearance and height of the man who paid the deposit and confirmed that it was Han Jingyuan.
After sending his child to school, the man actually came looking for the same teacup. He showed his anxiety, so naturally he was asked to pay a high price.
Su Ying said to Qiu Fengnian, "Brother Qiu, you made this trip for nothing."
"It's okay, it's okay." Qiu Fengnian was honest and said whatever was on his mind. "Comrade Han is just like me. We are not good at expressing ourselves, so we are easily hurt in relationships. Fortunately, we met you, Xiao Su."
Su Ying told her boss again, asking him not to tell Han Jingyuan that she had been here. "My husband wanted to give me a surprise. Boss, please keep it a secret for me. Don't tell anyone that I was here."
The boss agreed immediately, "You two are really in sync, you both thought of the same thing. He also told me that if a female comrade comes looking for such a teacup, I should say that it is out of stock, and not to say that he bought it."
…
Su Ying and Qiu Fengnian returned to the hospital. Jiang Xiuqin was at the Municipal Bureau doing routine work. After completing the formalities, she returned with Lu Ming. The couple decided to go back in the afternoon. They exchanged correspondence addresses with Su Ying and took the child to the station.
Su Ying estimated that Han Jingyuan would take a while to arrive, so she ran to the duty room of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department and saw Xia Feicui was still there. Xia Feicui was on vacation today. Because all four children of Su Ying's family were in the hospital today and Qinghe wanted to play with his older brothers and sisters, she brought her son over.
I was preparing to take my son back.
Seeing Su Ying coming, he pulled her to talk in the duty room.
"Duan Fan gave up his housing allocation to Sheng Jianye, a two-bedroom apartment, but we didn't want it. Duan Fan's wife came and persuaded us, saying that the one-bedroom apartment allocated by her company was enough for us to live in."
Duan Fan's home is a courtyard house with many empty rooms. Because his wife has been infertile for many years, Duan Fan doesn't want to listen to his mother's nagging and would rather live in the one-bedroom apartment allocated by his wife's unit.
"Then take it."
Su Ying advised: "We cannot understand the feelings between their comrades. If we cannot understand, we should accept it. If Duan Fan has any problems in the future, I think Brother Sheng will also help without hesitation. We just need to not hold him back."
Just like when she took her children out, Brother Sheng not only picked them up and dropped them off himself, but also asked his friends to pick them up and drop them off at the next stop. Su Ying couldn't find anyone more sincere than them.
Xie Feicui's inner confusion was resolved. Yes, she would solve the current dilemma first. She and Sheng Jianye were now living in a guesthouse with their children. This was not a long-term thing. She would repay these debts of favor.
After resolving the housing issue, Xie Feicui felt relieved, but she was worried about the recognition of relatives in the ward upstairs.
"The recognition of relatives at Political Commissar Ji's home was not going smoothly. Chuanbai had a cold face and didn't say a word. However, he did whatever he was asked to do, except that he didn't speak or call anyone."
"Take your time, it may be fine after a while." Su Ying pretended to know nothing.
"I hope so."
Xie Feicui just heard Qiao Jiuxiang discussing with Ji Pingliang that they wanted Su Ying to take the children to live in Beijing for a longer period of time so that her four children could play with Ji Chuanbai, but Ji Pingliang refuted this idea.
Ji Chuanbai couldn't return to school for a while due to his situation, but the four children of Su Ying's family had to miss several days of classes.
The child has been found, and I can’t ask for more. I can’t even say it.
…
In the single room upstairs, Ji Chuanbai just looked coldly at his 'Mom and Dad' in front of him. He didn't miss them at all. If he didn't have a mom and dad, could he go back to South Island with his sister and the others?
Ji Chuanbai thought of the warnings from the stars and immediately dismissed the dangerous thought. This was wrong and would make his sister dislike him forever.
He stood in front of the window and watched Su Ying and Han Jingyuan walking side by side towards the parking lot at the bottom of the inpatient building. They really didn't take him with them.
Ji Chuanbai still ignored 'Mom and Dad' and just looked out the window.
At this time, Han Jingyuan turned around and looked at the window where he was. Ji Chuanbai immediately waved his hand with a well-behaved smile on his face.
He always knew that his brother-in-law was easier to talk to than his sister and more soft-hearted than his sister.
Han Jingyuan's eyesight was good enough for him to see the changes on Ji Chuanbai's face. The boy was full of flattery, probably hoping that he would say a few good words for him.
He sighed again in his heart and asked Su Ying, "Chuanbai has been standing in front of the window for a long time without moving. Don't you really want to look back?"
Su Ying was also enduring it. Ji Chuanbai had parents, so it was not her turn to take care of him anyway. Besides, she had no intention of taking care of him.
She didn't know how many times she would be able to see the sun rise every day after visiting Su Xinyi.
She didn't even pause, "No need to watch it, he'll get used to it eventually."
Han Jingyuan hardened his heart, waited for Su Ying to fasten her seat belt, stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the hospital.
"Going to the Su family now?"
Su Xinyi has been taken home, a room has been set up as a medical room, and a nurse has been hired to take care of him full-time.
Su Ying nodded. She couldn't delay any longer. She had to use her supernatural powers to treat Su Xinyi today.
"Well, go see Su Xinyi, and then go home tomorrow."
…
Ji Chuanbai was like an abandoned little wolf cub, his teeth were grinding, his lips were bent, and the coldness on his face made Qiao Jiuxiang shiver.
Ji Pingliang didn't dare to provoke his eldest son anymore and left him alone in the single room. He and his younger son didn't dare to go far and went out to eat and came back immediately.
"I heard you say on the phone that your brother is in a relatively stable condition and can still communicate. When did he stop talking?"
Ji Liwen said: "Sister Su said she would not take him back to South Island, and then brother stopped talking."
Ji Pingliang understood this. His son had been locked up in the cave for more than ten years, and the first savior he saw was Su Ying. It was Su Ying who took care of him, taught him, and accompanied him for those three days. His son developed a fledgling complex for Su Ying and became more dependent on her than on his parents and brothers. This was all normal.
But he really couldn't think of asking Su Ying to stay with him for a while like his wife did.
Su Ying had already saved his child, and this great favor had not yet been repaid, so he couldn't ask for anything else.
He said, "Your brother's condition is still unstable. You need to control your temper and be more tolerant of him."
Ji Liwen used to behave in a somewhat rebellious manner towards his parents, but he knew the seriousness of each situation and felt guilty towards his brother. If he had not insisted on eating candied haws that day, his brother would have chased the bicycle selling candied haws and never come back.
After his brother went missing, everyone speculated that it was Liu Qiaozhen's fault. Ji Liwen confessed to his father that his brother would not have gone missing if he had not wanted to eat candied haws.
Ji Pingliang saw his son's regret and said, "Don't worry about the candied haws anymore. Your brother has a birthmark and Xia Lianfang has been targeting him. She wants to take revenge on our family and wants to find a child with a birthmark to raise, so she definitely won't kidnap the wrong one. There is no 50-50 chance that you and your brother will be kidnapped."
Having said that, Ji Liwen still felt guilty towards his brother. He said, "Brother was able to say a few words to me before. I'll go in and try again."
"Okay."
The two walked to the door of the ward and saw Ji Chuanbai sitting in a chair quietly reading "Criminal Law". Qiao Jiuxiang was not there.
The father and son looked around but couldn't find anyone in the hospital.
Ji Pingliang couldn't understand, "Your mother wants to watch over your brother 24 hours a day, where can she go?"
I also brought her food, so there was no such thing as her going out to eat alone.
Ji Liwen's face suddenly turned pale. "My mother won't run to Grandpa Han's house and ask Sister Su to stay for a while, right?"
This is very likely. Ji Pingliang urged his son to go after her. "How dare you beg him? Mr. Han has just been discharged from the hospital. We can't let him get angry and go back to the hospital. Go and get your mother back. I'll call the Han family."
…
At the Han family, the nanny received a call from Ji Pingliang, but did not alarm Han Huaishan. Instead, she spoke to the guard Han Suiyi and asked him to go to the gate of the compound and wait for Qiao Jiuxiang to scold him back.
Besides, Mr. Han didn't have time to meet Qiao Jiuxiang. Duan Huaijin and Duan Yan came with gifts and said they had important matters to discuss. The three of them were in the study on the second floor, and no one dared to go up and disturb them.
In the study, Duan Yu told Han Huaishan the whole context of the case in detail.
"Liu Qiaozhen was pregnant with Qian Yousheng's child. Qian Yousheng went to the northwest to do construction and had no news. Liu Qiaozhen hid in the countryside and gave birth to the child secretly. Xia Lianfang said she would find a good family for the child and take the child to the city hospital. She chose our family."
"She took my sister away and found that she was still breathing, so she threw her into an abandoned nunnery in the suburbs. She was picked up by Su Wenhai. It happened that Li Qingdai had lost her child in premature birth at that time, so the couple raised my sister as their own child."
Later, Liu Qiaozhen, under the guise of an unmarried woman, fell in love with Ji Pingliang, who was hospitalized for surgery. She thought Qiao Jiuxiang was not worthy of her, so she tried to have a difficult childbirth. After being discovered, she was sentenced to several years in prison. Not long after she was released, one of Ji Pingliang's twins was lost.
"After Liu Qiaozhen was released from prison, she was already terminally ill and could not be cured, so Xia Lianfang took revenge on the Ji family while she was still alive and stole one of the twins. This time, because of my sister, we were able to crack such a large kidnapping case. We have already found six children, and are currently rescuing two more."
Han Huaishan waved his hand, interrupting him from continuing to talk about the case, "I know what happened, so what do you want to do now?"
Duan Huaijin was ashamed, "We, we just want to make it up to our daughter."
Han Huaishan sneered, "Then let me ask you, what are you going to do with the fake one in your house? Are you willing to give Wen Xinzhu away?"
Duan Huaijin hesitated for a moment, "The children are all grown up, how about raising them together?"
Duan Yu immediately spoke up, "Dad, I know you and Mom have a deep relationship. You're worried that Mom's heart can't stand the shock, but aren't you afraid that my sister will have a heart attack if she knows your attitude?"
"Duan Chuxia must be sent away. She is not allowed to enter the Duan family again. She can take away all the things I bought for her before, but from now on, Su Ying is my only sister."
Duan Fan's attitude made Han Huaishan slightly satisfied. He said, "You guys go back first. You don't have the final say on whether to recognize him or not. You have to listen to my granddaughter-in-law's opinion."
This is natural. Duan Yu has repeatedly stated that he only has one sister.
After seeing off the Duan family father and son, Han Huaishan smashed the enamel cup in his hand angrily, "Duan Huaijin, this bastard, his wife is more important than anyone else, I won't let my granddaughter-in-law go to his house and suffer from his anger."
"Old man, you just got out of the hospital, don't get so angry that you have to be hospitalized again."
Han Huaishan trusted Fu Yuzhen and Han Suiyi very much, so he told them, "The father and son of the Duan family came to me with a stack of evidence and said that Su Ying was their child, and that Duan Fan wanted to recognize her as his sister."
Fu Yuzhen was so shocked that she dropped the enamel pot she had just picked up on the ground again. She muttered, not knowing what to say, "Then, do you want to admit it?"
"Admit it."
Han Huaishan made arrangements, "Suiyi, go to the train station now and buy the earliest return train ticket tomorrow morning. Rest for a night, and tomorrow morning, ask Jingyuan and Suying to take the four children back."
"But tomorrow is Ruan Mei's birthday, and she has already sent us the invitation."
Fu Yuzhen showed the invitation to the old man. Ms. Ruan invited her son, daughter-in-law, and four children to attend her 50th birthday party.
“That’s even more reason to let them go.”
Han Huaishan tore up the invitation with a few clicks and said, "Take it and burn it."
When I turned around, I saw four children of different heights leaning against the door frame and peeking in. They heard the entire conversation.
Han Huaishan smiled and said, "I heard it, but you have to keep it a secret. Don't tell your mother and Second Aunt. Wait until we return to South Island, okay?"
The other three kids were all shocked, only Han Xinxing was smart enough to nod and promise, "I definitely won't tell you before we get back to South Island."
