Chapter 340 Not Your Child
Until Shao Jiakang and Zhou Xue were captured, Lan Raoping still stood there like a lost soul.
Jiang Yu did not move, and stayed beside her.
He Tingyue had more information than her, and there was a lot of information she didn't know.
For example, Ye San, for example, the child named Shao Jing.
Lan Raoping smiled bitterly and spoke in a hoarse voice: "Am I ridiculous?"
She spent all her manpower and resources to find her daughter, pretending to be a good mother.
But the reason why her daughter was lost was because she brought Zhou Xue back.
Without Zhou Xue, Shao Jing would not have such a tragic ending.
Lan Raoping looked up at the sky, and the sky full of rosy clouds fell into her eyes.
"It's all my fault."
Jiang Yu held her hand, as cold as ice.
"Zhou Xue was wrong, Shao Jiakang was wrong, these are all sins they committed, and you shouldn't be held responsible. Chief Lan, now that we have found Ye San, we have clues, and you should cheer up and continue to look for your daughter."
Jiang Yu's words reminded Lan Raoping that this was not the time to feel sentimental, as she had finally got clues, so of course she should look for someone first.
"Yes, I still have a chance to find her, right?"
She looked at Jiang Yu, eager to get a positive answer.
She got this daughter when she was thirty years old, and the child was only about ten years old. If she
finds her daughter, she will have many opportunities to make amends.
Jiang Yu nodded, "Yes, you still have a chance to find her. If even you give up on her, what should she do?"
Lan Raoping wiped her tears and hugged Jiang Yu.
"Thank you, Jiang Yu."
Jiang Yu wanted to send her back, but was rejected by Lan Raoping.
"I'm not that fragile. I can do it myself."
Jiang Yu knew her character very well, so he didn't force her.
However, when Lan Raoping returned to Dongmin Lane, she saw Zheng Shufen.
She looked much more haggard after not seeing her for just a few days.
Of course, her son had an accident, and the family lost a daughter-in-law to serve her, so she had to do everything by herself.
"Ping'er, you're finally back. Mom has been waiting for you for a long time! You see how thin you have become during this period. Mom stewed pig's trotters for you."
Lan Raoping didn't even look at her and put the key in her pocket.
"Shao Jiakang is indeed thoughtful. Not only did he arrange Zhou Xue to take the blame, he also called you over. How stupid am I to let you think that I would forgive you if you suddenly stewed pig's trotters for me when you haven't cooked for me in all these years?"
Shao Jiakang was worried that his plan would fail and wanted to use Zheng Shufen to influence her. It was really ridiculous.
Zheng Shufen was embarrassed and defended herself, "He didn't ask me to come. I know he did something to make you sad. I don't have much to say. Mom only has one thing to say, you will always be my daughter-in-law, and I only recognize you!"
Lan Raoping sneered, "Do you only recognize me as your daughter-in-law, or are you used to me working like a cow and a horse for you, giving you money, and you can't bear to part with me? With these few words, do you want me to be grateful to you?"
"Ping'er, how can you think of me like this?" Zheng Shufen clutched her chest and looked at her with hurt eyes.
Lan Raoping didn't want to argue with her about these hypocritical words, and her sharp eyes stared at her closely.
"I just want to ask one question, did you know about Shao Jiakang and Zhou Xue's affairs a long time ago?"
Zheng Shufen panicked and didn't dare to look her in the eye, but she couldn't deny it.
But what can she do? That's her son. How can she destroy her own son with her own hands?
"Ping'er, why are you so serious? No matter how many women he has outside, I only recognize you as my daughter-in-law. With me here, he dare not divorce you!"
Lan Raoping sneered, "Is it an honor to be your daughter-in-law? I serve you all day long. When you are sick, I take care of you. When you have no money, I give you money. Shao Jiakang's women outside are much easier than me!"
Zheng Shufen's face turned pale. "We are a family. You should spend money on me. How can you say such harsh words!"
Lan Raoping just thought it was ridiculous.
Except when he used her, he would treat her as a family member. The rest of the time, she was just an outsider.
"After saying so much nonsense, I almost forgot to tell you that Shao Jiakang was detained by the security department. He didn't take a penny home in these years because he borrowed high-interest loans and used all his salary to pay off the loans. I guess he will have to stay in there from now on, so you should go and see him for the last time."
Zheng Shufen opened her mouth, as if she had lost her soul, staring at her blankly.
After her brain digested her words, he reacted and revealed his true face, which was ferocious and terrifying, like a fierce ghost crawling out of hell.
"What did you do? He was released, why did he go back in? You must have done something to him! Lan Raoping, if anything happens to my son, I will stab you to death and die with you!"
Zheng Shufen beat her chest and cried and accused her: "How can you be so cruel to a couple who have slept together for 20 years! Shao An is gone, Shao Jing is missing, and he let you do whatever you want when you said you didn't want a child. Over the years, I have urged him so many times, but he never let you have another one. What sin did our Shao family commit to marry such a deadly star like you!" The
old man who lived next door to Lan Raoping heard the noise and opened the door to take a look.
"Xiao Lan, what are you doing? After all, you are the elder, so why can't you talk to her in a nice way?"
Zheng Shufen cried for a while and asked the old man to make a decision for her.
"Brother, please judge for me! She has been married for so many years and has not been able to leave a child for my family. What's wrong with my son going out to find a woman? If she doesn't give birth, can't my son find another woman to give birth? It's good enough that he didn't divorce her!"
The eldest master thought it was reasonable and rebuked Lan Raoping righteously: "Xiao Lan, I thought you were sensible before, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Listen to what the eldest master said, quickly help your mother-in-law get up, live a good life as a family, and cherish your mother-in-law. Fate."
Lan Raoping glanced at him coldly, "Fourth Master, her son committed a crime and was arrested by the Security Department. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the Security Department of the Second Factory to show your brother's sense of justice. Don't worry, their family has not been extinct. Without me, Shao Jiakang would have found a woman outside to have a child."
When the eldest master's son heard this, he quickly scolded: "Dad, why are you meddling in other people's business? Come back soon!"
Zheng Shufen obviously didn't know about this, otherwise her expression wouldn't be so complicated.
Lan Raoping found it ironic that Shao Jiakang had done a good job of keeping the secret.
"If you don't believe me, go ask Shao Jiakang."
Zheng Shufen was surprised and happy. She was busy asking Shao Jiakang for clarification. She didn't have time to embarrass her and immediately turned around and ran away.
Lan Raoping then took out the key to open the door and walked in with a tired face.
She originally wanted to use Shao Jiakang's two children outside to tie Zheng Shufen down so that she would not have time to come and cause trouble. She
never expected that the subsequent developments would be out of control.
Shao Jiakang admitted that he still had a child and asked Zheng Shufen to help take care of her.
"Her name is Huang Li. You go find Jiang Chenghuai. He knows where she is."
Zheng Shufen's originally desperate heart was rekindled with hope.
With this pair of grandchildren, her life has hope. She excitedly went to find Jiang Chenghuai to inquire about the whereabouts of Huang Li and her two children.
After finally finding the person, she unexpectedly heard Huang Li's heart-wrenching words.
"You damned ghost, why did you come just now! Did you hear that Shao Jiakang was in trouble? What should I do? I can't ask him for money in the future."
Zheng Shufen looked through the crack of the door and saw Huang Li nestling in a man's arms, looking like a little bird.
She widened her eyes, and her reason was almost burned out by anger.
The man laughed obscenely, "You are such a heartless woman. You have slept with him for so many years, but now that he is in trouble, you only think about money."
Huang Li said angrily, "Why did I ask him for money? It was for you and our two children. It's because he is in trouble. If he knew that these two children are yours, he would kill you."
The man laughed, "My life is worth it to be a cuckold for Director Shao!"
Zheng Shufen was heartbroken, holding her chest and staggering.
Her mood was even more ups and downs, falling from heaven to hell.
She held her breath, picked up the wooden stick in the corner, pushed the door open, and beat the man and woman inside. She
lost her mind and acted without any rules. She just wanted to beat the man and woman in front of her to death.
The man hid behind Huang Li, and his legs went limp with fear when he saw the crazy Zheng Shufen.
Huang Li was hit on the head several times, and she didn't even have the strength to fight back. She fell down with blood gushing from her forehead.
The man saw that the situation was not good, and fled.
When Lan Raoping heard about these things, Zheng Shufen had already been arrested for intentional homicide.
Jiang Yu sighed, "I never thought that the two children were not Shao Jiakang's."
If Zheng Shufen hadn't made a big fuss about it, who else would know the truth except Huang Li.
Lan Raoping remained silent, with a dark look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
All we know is that later, someone saw Lan Raoping go to the security department.
"Section Chief Lan, according to the rules, you cannot see him, but Section Chief He asked me to make it convenient for you."
Lin Changan asked someone to bring Shao Jiakang out. Even if they wanted to talk, they could only do so under their surveillance.
Lan Raoping waited quietly. Shao Jiakang was brought out. He was emaciated and almost unrecognizable.
Compared with the physical torture, the mental pain is the most painful.
He was locked in a small square room, away from the sun, waiting for the final judgment.
The moment Shao Jiakang saw her, hope rekindled in his eyes.
"Raoping, are you here to save me?"
Lan Raoping raised her chin, "Sit down."
Shao Jiakang breathed rapidly, with tears in his eyes, looking at her eagerly.
"I knew it, I knew you wouldn't be so cruel to me!"
Lan Raoping chuckled, "You think too much, I don't have the ability to save you. It's just that something happened, and I have to come here to tell you, your mother killed someone, the one who killed Huang Li. You should still remember Huang Li, right? I also gave birth to two children for you, my Shao Hua and Shao Jing, you have long forgotten them."
Shao Jiakang was hit on the head with a club, and the pain almost made him explode.
"What did you say..." he murmured.
Lan Raoping was not tired of it, and repeated it to him again.
Shao Jiakang suddenly went crazy, leaning on the table and staring at her, his eyes as sharp as a blade.
"How could my mother kill someone? She can't even hold a knife, how could she kill someone! You lied to me, it's all your fault, you framed her! It's okay if you hurt me, but my mother is just an old woman who can't do anything, why did you touch her! Lan Raoping, you are so cruel, you will get retribution!"
No matter how hysterical he was, Lan Raoping always looked indifferent
. It was because she was too calm that Lin Changan felt uneasy.
She raised the corners of her lips, "Don't you want to know why she killed Huang Li?"
Shao Jiakang stared at her in a daze. At this moment, he was suddenly afraid to know the answer.
Lan Raoping would not shut up because of his fear.
"Huang Li's children are indeed adorable, but unfortunately, they are not yours. You have suffered so much for so many years, using your money to raise her children with someone else. Thanks to you, her lover has been able to live a worry-free life these years. Seeing you end up like this, I feel relieved."
Shao Jiakang's face turned from red to blue, and from blue to purple. Finally, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and made a "ho ho" sound from his mouth, and fell stiffly.
Lan Raoping pulled the corner of her lip and looked down at him.
"What happened to me is now being punished on you, why can't you bear it? It turns out that tolerance can only be used to ask others."
...
Shao Jiakang's story was widely spread, with various versions, and the family compound inevitably discussed it.
When Jiang Yu returned to the compound, Old Lady Qian was sitting at the door talking loudly.
"If you ask me, it's because of not having children."
"If there were children, would a man still go out to find women? This Section Chief Lan has a big problem!"
"The first two children she gave birth to were short-lived. She should have given birth to a third child as soon as possible to tie the man down, and he would naturally not run away."
Jiang Yu paused and looked at Old Lady Qian.
Old Lady Qian raised her eyes and met her deep eyes, and was shocked.
"Jiang Yu, why are you looking at me like that!"
Jiang Yu snorted and laughed, "Old lady, is your man a dog? He needs to be tied up?"
"How can you talk like that, you little girl! Who do you say is a dog?" Old lady Qian stood up dissatisfied.
Jiang Yu spread her hands, "Didn't you say that men need to be tied up? Shao Jiakang is still in the security department. He has a crime that is enough to get him shot. You are speaking for him. Are you dissatisfied with the treatment of the factory?"
Old lady Qian panicked and just chattered a little. She had no idea that Shao Jiakang had committed such a serious crime.
"I didn't speak for him! I was just chatting casually. I won't say anymore. There are dishes cooking on my stove!"
Old lady Qian ran away, and the others were afraid of getting into trouble, so they all dispersed.
Jiang Yu then walked into the room, feeling a little tired, and lay on the table for a while.
Not long after, a shadow fell.
A pair of hands gently stroked the back of her head and pressed her acupuncture points.
"Tired?"
Jiang Yu hummed, "Have you dealt with Shao Jiakang's matter?"
He Tingyue said, "He is involved with Ye San, and we have to continue to investigate further. He has been transferred to the Public Security Bureau."
Jiang Yu hated Ye San very much, "These people and traffickers deserve to die! Do you think Shao Jing can be found?"
He Tingyue fell silent. Who can be sure?
"I hope so."
"What about his mother? Huang Li was killed by her. Does she have to pay for her life?" Jiang Yu whispered.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yu's emotions were very complicated, and she felt indescribably depressed.
He Tingyue shook his head, "It's hard to say, don't think too much."
