Chapter 66 What to do

In a mahjong room on the street, a group of housewives sat together playing mahjong. There were shouts, clashing sounds, and laughter, making a lot of noise.

The three or four-year-old child was chubby and white. He first ran around the mahjong table in the mahjong room, then crawled under the table, and finally ran to the door. Not long after, he came back to find his grandmother: "Grandma, I'm hungry."

Lin Zhixian looked at the grandmother. Her features were exactly those of an old woman, except that she was still a little fat at that time. She was not as skinny and dry as she is now, with wrinkles all over her face and her skin turned brown.

"Hmmmm." Grandma responded casually, but her hands kept touching the mahjong tiles and her eyes never left the table: "Three bamboos."

The child called out several times but got no response. Finally, he was so hungry that he stood in the corner, sucking his fingers and looking at the street vendor selling buns.

A woman in her twenties or thirties came down the stairs behind me. Her clothes didn't look like those of a city girl, but rather rustic.

Her eyes lit up when she saw the child. She looked around and saw no adults around, so she walked over carefully and coaxed him in a low voice, "Zizi, why are you here alone? Where are your parents?"

The child looked back at her, then turned back to look at the stall, his eyes full of desire.

When the aunt saw this, she took out a cookie from her bag and asked, "Are you hungry, son? Can I give you some candy?"

The child's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously. He took the biscuit from the nanny's hand and put it in his hand.

"Auntie has a lot of delicious candies there. Do you want to go with me and get some?" the auntie tempted.

How could the child resist the temptation of candy, so he was abducted by the nanny and became her son.

…

Lin Zhixian let go of the old lady's hand, and the old lady looked at her expectantly: "How is it, did you find my grandson?"

Lin Zhixian nodded and said, "The person who kidnapped your grandson was a country relative of yours who lived next door. She had not had a child for many years after her marriage, so when she saw your grandson walking alone on the street with no adults around, she took him away."

"Relatives from the countryside? Who is it?" The old woman grabbed Lin Zhixian's hand and asked excitedly: "Tell me, who is that person?"

Aunt Zhen and Aunt Zhao also looked at Lin Zhixian excitedly, but Sanxian said to the old woman, "Think carefully and see if you can remember which of your former neighbors had relatives from the countryside who came to the city on that day? And who has been married for many years but has no children?"

The old woman tried desperately to recall, but couldn't think of anything. After all, so many years had passed: "I, I don't remember."

Lin Zhixian reminded her: "It's the family at the end of the street."

The old woman hit her head hard: "I can't remember. Why can't I remember? Remember it quickly!"

Lin Zhixian was afraid when he saw this: "Mother-in-law, don't be anxious, think about it slowly."

"Yes, it's been so many years, it's understandable that you can't remember it right away, take your time and don't worry."

Aunt Zhen and Aunt Zhao also helped to persuade her.

The old woman cried, "How can I not be anxious? My Mingzai has been kidnapped for five years. My family has been destroyed because of him. My husband and his family will not be able to rest in peace. If I can't find him, I won't dare to go down to see my husband and my son and daughter-in-law after I die."

"How can it be so serious?" Aunt Zhao advised: "Didn't Ah Xian just say that he was taken away by a relative from your past neighborhood? As long as we find that person, we will definitely be able to find your Mingzi. Don't worry."

The old woman cried, "But now I can't remember who has such a relative."

Everyone looked at Lin Zhixian.

Lin Zhixian didn't know whose relative he was either. After all, the video started from when Mingzai was kidnapped and did not replay the events before that.

Moreover, ever since he kidnapped Mingzai, the man was afraid of being discovered, so he had not come to the city to look for relatives in all these years. The reason why Lin Zhixian was able to judge that she was a relative of the neighborhood was because when the man came downstairs, he said something like cousin's sister-in-law, which made Lin Zhixian certain that she had a relative relationship with the person on the street.

Another thing is, according to what Lin Zhixian saw, the kidnapper originally wanted to raise Mingzi as his son after kidnapping him. Unexpectedly, after raising the child for a year, the child gave birth to her own son, so she began to dislike Mingzi. It happened that a relative of a villager in their village had not had a son for many years just like them. Seeing that they didn't want to raise Mingzi, the relative thought that Mingzi should be lucky, so he asked the family for the child, and the family sold the child.

After Mingzai arrived at the new home, his new parents soon gave birth to their own son. However, the son was weak and sickly after birth and they almost couldn't raise him. So a fortune teller said that Mingzai was an obstacle to their biological child. The new parents wanted to sell Mingzai, but unfortunately no one wanted him, so they had to drive Mingzai out of the house. In the end, he was adopted by an elderly widower with no children.

If it were in the past, Lin Zhixian would explain all these in detail, but now she still has to be particular about the method.

But saving the children is also urgent.

Because she saw in the video that the lonely old man who adopted Mingzai fell ill years ago and is now dying.

Once this old man dies, Mingzai has no idea how much suffering he will have to endure.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhixian said to the old woman: "Even if we find that person, I'm afraid Mingzi is no longer in her hands."

"What do you mean? Didn't you say that she took Mingzi away because she had no children? Did she sell Mingzi?" The old woman was anxious.

Lin Zhixian nodded: "I have calculated that Mingzai currently has two pairs of adoptive parents in addition to his biological parents."

"That is to say, that family originally raised me, Mingzi, as their own son, but ended up giving him away?" The old woman was very angry: "How can they be so selfish and vicious? They have no son of their own, yet they want to steal someone else's, and then they don't treat him well after stealing him. Why doesn't God send down a thunderbolt to strike them to death?"

Aunt Zhen and Aunt Zhao also followed suit, saying they had never seen such a heartless person.

Lin Zhixian added: "But Mingzai is not living with his second set of adoptive parents now."

"What?" The old woman couldn't sit still any longer. "The second family abandoned my Mingzi again? Where is my Mingzi now?"

"What is the reason that makes these people raise babies for a while and then stop doing so?" Aunt Zhen was also very confused.

Lin Zhixian said, "Mingzai was born with the blessing of having a child. I'm afraid that after the two families adopted the child, they soon had their own biological sons, so they didn't want to raise him anymore. Now the person who adopted him should be an elderly widower, but I think Mingzai will soon lose a parent, and I guess the elderly widower who adopted him won't be able to support him for much longer."

"What should we do?" the old woman was very anxious.
