Chapter 110 Chapter 110 Useless Man
Father Zhuang stood in front of his wife and said earnestly, "You know your mother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She doesn't think before she speaks. Her words are not pleasant to the ears. Please forgive her."
He calmed down. He thought that at this point, he shouldn't fall out with his eldest daughter. He should say more nice things to win her over.
Father Zhuang said earnestly, "You should have seen how your mother treated you over the years. We treat you as our own child. She was too afraid of losing you, so she said something she didn't want to say. Don't bother with her."
Zhuang Ruonan came back to her senses from the shock and asked, "You treat me like your own child, so why can my brother go to school but I can't?"
The reason why Zhuang Ruonan didn't go to school was not only because they were partial to her, but also because she didn't have a household registration until she was thirteen years old, and it was troublesome for her to go to school without a household registration.
At that time, they already had their own biological son and were unwilling to spend the effort to send their adopted daughter to school, so they decided to let her stay at home and take care of the second child instead of going to school.
Kill two birds with one stone, saving money and getting more free labor.
Mother Zhuang pointed at her and said angrily. "I knew you were a nobody. Your father taught you all his martial arts, and you're still not satisfied?"
Father Zhuang kept winking at his wife, asking her not to add fuel to the fire. "You know, your brother is not as talented as you. I did my best to teach you and treated you as my own daughter. Even if you are not grateful, I don't want you to hate us."
Zhuang Ruonan sneered, "I'm not a fool. I have my own judgment. I used to think that you favored my brother more because I was a daughter. Now I understand everything. It's because I'm not your child that you treat me like this."
The banker's parents favor their son because he is their own flesh and blood.
If Zhuang's father brought home a boy and his own child was a girl, he would definitely not be too partial.
"We originally just wanted to confirm whether she was our sister and did not want to disturb her peaceful life. We found that her life was not going well, so I thought it would be better for both parties to talk it out."
"You want child support, right?"
No one expected that Jiang Ling would ask so directly.
Father Zhuang coughed lightly and said, "It was not easy to raise her. My husband and I have paid a lot."
This is a euphemism for admitting that the purpose is to get child support.
Zhuang Ruonan was not without sadness. After all, she had called so many of them her parents, and even though they were not very nice to her, she always regarded them as the closest people to her.
They don't care about feelings now, their only goal is money.
Jiang Ling smiled and said, "What a coincidence! My wife wants to sue you for child trafficking."
Father Zhuang returned to his previous honest and upright appearance. He said, "When I found her, there was no one around her. I thought she was abandoned by her parents. You also know what a beautiful girl would be like if she was taken home by someone with evil intentions. No matter what we did to her, at least we didn't force her to do such dirty things."
Who on earth is this person who can be proud of not forcing his children to do dirty things?
Song Guanshu, who had been silent the whole time, sneered, "If it weren't for you, if she had been picked up by a rich man, she would still be living a good life with nothing to lose."
It's reasonable to make assumptions about things that haven't happened.
"They kidnapped my sister and separated us from each other. We can't just let this go." Song Guanshu played the good guy, his face serious. "I'm going to call the police and have them arrest them."
Jiang Ling seemed very easy to talk to. She said, "No matter what, I have raised Ah Qin. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard. Let's just let it go."
Song Guanshu insisted, "No way. If I let it go, someone will imitate their behavior and steal children in the future, which will cause great harm to society."
He began to rise in altitude, very righteous and awe-inspiring.
"Just go, who's afraid of who?"
Zhuang's mother is not afraid, but Zhuang's father is afraid of being arrested because he is the one who brought the child home.
He kept explaining that he didn't abduct the child, but picked him up.
But he could not prove that his actions at that time were not trafficking, and the neighbors could all prove that the child was not born to the couple.
When I arrived at the police station, I couldn’t explain it clearly.
Mr. Zhuang's tone softened first, "What do you want to do?"
"My lover wants to bring his sister home."
Mother Zhuang spoke quietly, but everyone in the room heard her. She said, "We can't let them take people away so easily."
Song Guanshu said coldly, "My goal is not just to bring Ah Qin home. If I don't send the traffickers who abducted her to jail, I will be sorry for her parents."
Jiang Ling said softly, "Let's forgive her when we can. After all, I raised my sister."
Zhuang's mother was a money-grubber. She was very determined. "Don't even think about taking her away unless she pays us back what she's spent on us over the years!"
"Did you spend your money?"
As someone who deals with numbers every day, Jiang Ling is very quick at calculating.
According to the monthly quota for raising children in the city in the past two years, Jiang Ling multiplied it by twelve and then seventeen years, and said a number, and then immediately regretted it, "No, this is too much. My sister does so much work in their family, and she doesn't have enough food and warm clothes on weekdays. She definitely doesn't need so much money."
Zhuang's mother screamed immediately, "That's all. Don't even think about giving her a penny less. If you don't give her this much, don't even think about moving her household registration."
Although Zhuang Ruonan had never been to school, she was not stupid. She immediately realized that her adoptive mother had been deceived, but she did not remind her.
She hopes to move out of this house as soon as possible, but it will cost so much money. Is she worthy of it?
"No, it's not certain if she is our sister."
Zhuang's mother was afraid that any further delay would affect her ability to collect the money, so she wanted to settle the payment and the goods immediately.
"Let's go to the police station now, we'll be off work soon."
Half-reluctantly, Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu were dragged to the police station. Under pressure from the locals, the two weak outsiders paid a sum of money, of course, on the premise that Zhuang Ruonan's household registration was moved out.
Zhuang Ruonan’s household registration cannot be moved to the northern city, thousands of miles away. Even if it could be done, Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu would not ask her to move there immediately. They hope that she can decide where to go when she can make her own decision.
Zhuang Ruonan is now the head of the household, although she is the only one registered in the household registration book.
Zhuang's parents didn't even allow her to go back to get her clothes and simply kicked her out of the house.
It just so happens that I can get a letter of introduction from the police station and stay in the guesthouse.
There was no need to explain much to the police and the letter of introduction was issued smoothly.
After all, Song Guanshu was of the opposite sex, so there were many inconveniences. Jiang Ling took her into the room and talked for a long time.
Talk about her experience in the Zhuang family and Song Guanshu's family affairs.
"You mean, my parents and my brother are no longer alive?"
"Life is unpredictable, but at least you are alive."
Zhuang Ruonan had been observing Jiang Ling's movements. She noticed that she frowned slightly and put her hands on her lower abdomen. She immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Jiang Ling shook her head. "It's okay. Maybe it's time for her period."
Ever since Chen Xiangyang got into trouble, she became worried and her menstruation became very irregular.
Now there was a dull cramping pain, like the one she felt a few days before her period.
Zhuang Ruonan was as strong as a calf and had never experienced any pain, so she didn't understand what that felt like.
So she uttered the classic quote, "Drink more hot water."
She not only talked but also took the initiative to pour Jiang Ling a cup of hot water.
After receiving the hot water, Jiang Ling thanked her and said, "We will return to North City in a few days. If you are willing to go back with us, we can live together in the future. If you are more accustomed to the life here, you can stay here."
"When you went to change your clothes just now, your brother and I reflected on our handling of the situation. We didn't handle it well." Jiang Ling sighed, "If we had been more gentle, you wouldn't have been kicked out of the house by your adoptive parents, and you would have one more relative now."
After all, we have been together for so many years, how could there be no feelings?
Zhuang Ruonan was very free and easy. "What they care about is the money, not me. It's not that you handled it badly, but that you handled it too well. If you didn't give her the money, I wouldn't be kicked out of the house so easily."
She looked at Jiang Ling and said seriously, "I will pay back the money."
"After all, he is his only relative in this world. How can he ask for your money?"
She smiled and said, "I still have to pay it back, just in case I'm not Aqin."
Jiang Ling also laughed, "It doesn't matter, whether you are Aqin or not, you have the same experience, we are willing to help you, and we also hope that someone can lend a helping hand to Aqin."
Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu returned to North City, and Zhuang Ruonan did not go with them.
She said that she wanted to stay in Wancheng for a while longer to think about her future.
Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu respected her idea. They left her a lot of money before leaving and told her that she could come to Beicheng to find them at any time.
After sending Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu to the platform, Zhuang Ruonan went to the police station to get a letter of introduction, and went to the ticket office to buy a train ticket. The destination of the train ticket was the "hometown" that he had learned from Jiang Ling not long ago.
After traveling for nearly half a month, Song Guanshu finally returned home. Despite his obsessive-compulsive disorder, he changed the clothes he wore on the train. He didn't even have time to wipe the kang and just lay down on it.
This is something that the previous Song Guanshu would never have done.
Jiang Ling teased him, "Get up, the first thing you should do when you get home is to use your small rag to clean the whole house."
Song Guanshu said in a tired voice, "Tired."
Of the two, Song Guanshu was obviously in better health. During this trip, Jiang Ling did not suffer from any acclimatization problem, but Song Guanshu's acclimatization started the moment he got on the train.
He started to feel carsick and nauseous on the train to Wancheng. He finally made it to Wancheng, but he had no appetite for anything.
Not only did he have no appetite, but he also felt unwell. Song Guanshu couldn't tell exactly where he felt unwell. So he accompanied him to the hospital for a check-up, but they couldn't find anything wrong with him. The doctor prescribed him a box of stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets.
It was Jiang Ling’s first time to go to Wancheng. The eating habits there were different from those in the North City, so Jiang Ling found everything new and fresh.
The delicious food in Wancheng made her, who already had a big appetite, eat even more.
Eat three meals a day in a variety of ways, and don't repeat yourself every day.
Song Guanshu lost a lot of weight after going out, and she gained three kilograms.
If Song Guanshu hadn't suffered from severe acclimatization, Jiang Ling would have wanted to stay in Wancheng for a few more days and wouldn't have wanted to go home so early.
