After hearing his daughter's words, Jiang Weimin's eyes turned red.
The initial anger turned into extreme guilt.
I originally thought that my daughter believed Liu Chunlan's words because she was soft-hearted, so she joined her in hiding the truth from me.
Unexpectedly, the reason she kept it a secret was to protect her marriage with Xiaojuan.
When he thought about how he had blamed Xiaomei without asking for the whole story, he felt more and more guilty and uncomfortable.
The tall man suddenly lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Xiaomei, Dad misunderstood you just now."
Xiaomei smiled and shook her head, "I know, Dad is worried about me."
The father and daughter talked it out.
Jiang Weimin began to walk towards Liu Chunlan.
Although I didn't want to say a word to her, I still had to ask her about Hu Zi's matter.
"Liu Chunlan, is it true that Hu Zi was abducted to Beijing?"
"Think it over carefully before you speak. If you dare to lie like you did before, I will never forgive you."
Liu Chunlan glanced at Jiang Weimin and knew that he was no longer the easy-to-control man he used to be.
There was no trace of former affection in those cold eyes.
He answered with a stiff upper lip, "Hu Zi was indeed kidnapped. The village was busy harvesting wheat at the time, and I didn't notice him. When I went back home at night, I couldn't find him. Later, I found my way to the county town and heard that he was taken away by a stranger. He said he got on the train to Beijing, so I came here to look for him."
Liu Chunlan kept her head down while speaking and didn't dare to speak loudly. After she finished speaking word by word, her hands were clenched red.
Jiang Weimin may have become less rational because he is Hu Zi's biological father.
However, Zhou Zhengting, who was observing Liu Chunlan from the side, saw the flaw at a glance.
So when Liu Chunlan finished speaking, she didn't wait for Jiang Weimin to speak.
Zhou Zhengting took the initiative and said, "I remember Huzi was already over ten years old. A boy of his age should have some strength. How come your village didn't notice that he was kidnapped?"
"According to what you said, the trafficker went to your village to find Hu Zi and then brought him to Beijing without stopping. Didn't he contact other gangs in the process? After all, traffickers work in teams, and it's impossible for them to travel thousands of miles to specifically target Hu Zi, unless they have a grudge against your family!"
"Also, how did you find out? How did you know so quickly and accurately that the man brought Hu Zi to Beijing? Did anyone see them along the way?"
Jiang Qingyue also saw through Liu Chunlan's many flaws.
Then he asked, "When Hu Zi was missing, why didn't you report it to the police right away? Instead, you came here to look for him yourself, or do you think you and Hu Zi have telepathy and can find him faster than the police?"
The couple sang the same tune, which stumped Liu Chunlan.
Jiang Weimin and Xiaomei, who were still anxious, gradually realized that something was wrong.
Jiang Weimin then angrily questioned Liu Chunlan again, "It's already this late, and you still won't tell the truth?!"
"What's going on? If you don't explain clearly, we'll report it to the police right away. It's just a phone call away, and the other party will be able to go back to your hometown to investigate immediately."
Liu Chunlan was so frightened that she trembled and stammered, refusing to explain the reason.
Seeing this, Jiang Weimin was so angry that he pulled Xiaomei away and said, "Don't worry about her. Life and death are determined by fate. If she comes again in the future, you are not allowed to pay attention to her and you are not allowed to give her a penny."
As they spoke, several people prepared to leave.
Seeing that Jiang Weimin really gave up.
Liu Chunlan couldn't hold it in any longer and immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "Xiaomei's father, please don't leave. I'll tell you the truth. I'll tell you everything."
Seeing this, several people stopped.
Liu Chunlan dared not hide it anymore and immediately told the truth.
It turned out that Hu Zi was indeed sold to Beijing.
But, I didn’t kidnap the beggars.
Moreover, Wang Mazi joined forces with Hu Zi's uncle, and the two of them sold Hu Zi out.
It was the time for wheat harvest and Liu Chunlan didn't notice it at that time.
I couldn't find Hu Zi until the evening, and I thought he had gone wandering around the village. I searched for half the night and then I realized something was wrong.
On the way back, he ran into Wang Mazi and his eldest brother dividing the money stealthily, and then he discovered something was wrong.
Later, Liu Chunlan took a knife and went crazy, wanting to die together with Wang Mazi and her family.
He even put the knife to the necks of his mother and youngest nephew.
After a long time of investigation, they finally found out the whereabouts of Hu Zi.
It was said that he was sold to Beijing and had to beg on the streets to make money.
After finishing her speech, Liu Chunlan was already crying and unable to speak. "I was tricked by my mother into remarrying. After I got married, Huzi and I didn't have enough food or warm clothes, and we had to work in the fields every day."
"Hu Zi couldn't stand it anymore and gradually lost his temper. Wang Ma Zi also gradually lost his patience and said that he didn't want to support outsiders."
"At the time, I thought he was just saying harsh words. After all, keeping Huzi would allow him to work in the fields. But I didn't expect him to be so bad as to sell his child."
After saying that, Liu Chunlan knelt down and kowtowed several times.
"Xiaomei's father, I was wrong about what happened before. I regret it very much. I only blame myself for not knowing how to appreciate the good fortune I had. It's too late to say anything now."
"I only ask you, for the sake of Hu Zi being your biological son, please save him. He is the only one I have now! If I can't find Hu Zi, I won't be able to survive."
All Jiang Weimin has felt for Liu Chunlan over the years is hatred.
He hated her for disregarding their relationship as husband and wife, forcing him to do hard labor, and for being the first one to run away after she got injured.
I hated her for getting a divorce, getting Huzi, but not taking good care of him and ended up raising a bad child.
It was not until he met Xiaojuan that he finally let go of the past and stopped hating Liu Chunlan.
Because to him, a stranger is not worth wasting emotions on hating.
Now she has lost Hu Zi again, especially since the two who sold Hu Zi were her husband and her elder brother whom she had to consider in everything for so many years.
It was these two people who sold her son.
Jiang Weimin felt both hateful and angry.
Now seeing her crying non-stop, he was even more upset and couldn't help but get angry, "Cry, cry, cry, what's the point of crying now! What were you doing before?"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Seeing this, Jiang Qingyue hurriedly pulled him back and asked, "Second brother, where are you going now?"
Jiang Weimin sighed, "I'll go out and look for Hu Zi to see if he's in Beijing."
"No matter what, it's a life. We have to find the child first before we think about other things."
Jiang Qingyue hurriedly pulled the man back, "Who said we won't look for him anymore? Even if we don't consider anything else, we have to find him for Xiaomei's sake."
"You are just too angry. Beijing is so big, are you just looking for it like a headless fly?"
