Chapter 68 This matter is worth making trouble for
Because they had to transfer twice, Yu Zhian and his family of four arrived at the train station in their hometown five days later.
This was also the first time for the two brothers to take such a long train ride. The third brother, Yu Jiali, was carrying a bag on his back and holding another in his hand. As he walked, he whispered, "Xiaowu also had to transfer once to get to Nanfu, and then he had to walk to get there. I don't know how much suffering he had along the way."
"And what were my grandparents thinking back then? My second brother was only a few months old. How dare they take such a young child on a train ride for several days back to their hometown?" Thinking of this, Yu Jiali had an even worse impression of his grandparents.
He secretly thought that if it was really his grandparents who did it, he would find a way to make his parents break off relations with the people in his hometown.
He carefully glanced at his father's gloomy face and thought he could add fuel to the fire: "The New China had not yet been established at that time. There were wars everywhere and it was extremely dangerous. Aren't they afraid of accidents on the road?"
Yu Jiali knew that when his grandparents were young, they came to Shangyang City from their hometown to find work. They gave birth to his father in Shangyang City. It was not until his father was admitted to university that his aunt in his hometown gave birth to twin sons and asked his grandparents to go back to help take care of the children. Only then did they leave his father in Shangyang City to study and they returned to their hometown.
Later, when my second brother was born, my grandparents packed their bags and came to Shangyang City, saying they wanted to take care of my mother during her confinement. Now I think that their purpose was not to take care of my mother, but to bring my eldest and second brothers back to their hometown.
In the end, my mother didn't agree, so my grandparents had to secretly take my second brother away.
Yu Jiali's words were like a knife stabbing into the hearts of Yu Zhian and his wife. Yes, even their 20-year-old son could figure it out, so how could the Yu family elders not understand it? They knew it was unsafe to take the child on the road, but they still secretly took the child away.
Thinking of this, Li Xiulan even felt a little disgusted with herself, blaming herself for not protecting her second son well, which gave her in-laws the opportunity to take the child away.
At this time, a man in a Zhongshan suit walked towards them and stopped in front of the four people: "Excuse me, are you Comrade Yu Zhian and Comrade Li Xiulan?"
Yu Zhian nodded: "I am Yu Zhian."
The man quickly shook hands with Yu Zhian and said, "I am a friend of Comrade Zhang Chengzhe. My name is Luo Wenzhi. Comrade Zhang asked me to come and pick you up."
Yu Zhian and Li Xiulan were both a little surprised. They didn't expect that their in-laws would send someone to pick them up.
The couple hurriedly thanked him, and Luo Wenzhi led them out of Chengxian Railway Station. After everyone got on the carriage, Luo Wenzhi said, "Chengzhe has already told me about your affairs, and asked me to check on your second son."
"I'm sorry to trouble you." Yu Zhian felt bad for asking his in-laws to use their connections for his own problems.
Luo Wenzhi shook his head: "No trouble, we all know the reason back then, you two are both worthy of admiration."
He looked at the couple and said, "Because it happened so long ago, there isn't much that can be found." Moreover, it happened before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Everyone knows how turbulent those years were. It is really difficult to find out something that happened more than 20 years ago.
He took his people to visit for several days before he found some clues. Luo Wenzhi felt that what he found was related to the matter of the second son of the Yu family.
He said, "I know some people near your hometown, and I asked them to go home and find out some things."
"Your parents did bring a child back that year. They said it was your child. If you want to return to the army, let them take the second child home to take care of him."
Yu Jiali asked Luo Wenzhi: "So the child my father brought back to Shangyang City and the child my grandparents brought back to their hometown are the same person?"
"It's the same person." Luo Wenzhi nodded. "I was also worried that the child might be swapped, so I specifically asked someone to clarify. Everyone in your village can testify to this. The child grew up under everyone's eyes. Your parents loved the child very much and gave the child all the delicious food they had."
In those days, being able to eat enough was already good, but the old couple of the Yu family raised their grandson to be fat. At that time, many people envied this child.
Li Xiulan looked confused. Could it be that their guess was wrong?
No, it's impossible. She firmly believed that the second son Yu whom she raised was not her biological son.
Luo Wenzhi said: "In addition to these, Chengzhe and I visited the staff on the trains in Shangyang City and Chengxian County respectively, and unexpectedly discovered something that may be related to your child."
The family of four looked at Luo Wenzhi. Li Xiulan was so nervous that she grabbed Yu Zhian's hand, her nails digging into his wrist.
Yu Zhian ignored the pain and asked quickly, "What's the matter?"
Luo Wenzhi glanced at them with a bit of regret and pity in his eyes: "I learned from an old train attendant that there was a case of a missing baby on the train. The grandparents took their grandson back to their hometown, and the child disappeared on the first night on the train. It was a big deal at the time."
"The old train attendant remembered that the old couple said that their son and daughter-in-law were both soldiers, and they asked everyone to help find their children."
This news came like a bolt from the blue, and it completely devastated the family of four in the carriage.
Yu Jiaren couldn't believe it: "So, my brother was taken away by someone."
"But grandpa and grandma never told me, and I don't know where they went to pick up a child to pretend to be my second brother." Yu Jiali also felt like the sky was falling.
They thought that it might be someone's child that their grandparents had replaced, and that their second brother (second younger brother) would live in their hometown. Even if life was a little hard, they were not afraid, because at least he was fine and they could be reunited as a family.
But now they are told that the truth that the whole family has been waiting for is so bloody.
Li Xiulan wanted to say something, but then she realized that she was so angry that she couldn't utter a word and her whole body was shaking.
Her son was missing.
She kept shaking her head and murmured silently: No, no, it's not like that.
Yu Zhian held his wife's hand, his heart was cold and his mind was empty.
He had never been so scared and terrified as he was today when he was in the midst of gunfire before. He looked at Luo Wenzhi and asked, "Anything else?"
Luo Wenzhi said: "The child your parents brought back was very thin."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiulan burst into tears: "No, no."
She seemed to have broken through a barrier and was finally able to speak, but she was so hysterical: "My Jiayi is white and plump, loves to laugh, and has bright eyes."
She looked at Yu Zhian: "That beast is fake, fake."
After she yelled this, she fainted completely.
Seeing this, the Yu family's father and son were all panicked, and Luo Wenzhi quickly asked the driver to go to the hospital.
After an examination, the doctor confirmed that Li Xiulan fell into a coma due to excessive emotional fluctuations. She needed to rest well and stabilize her emotions.
After Luo Wenzhi saw Li Xiulan wake up, he took his two brothers to book a room in a nearby guesthouse, and then went back to the unit to make a phone call.
After Zhang Chengzhe learned the truth, he was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Okay, I understand. I'll just have to ask you to help take care of them."
Luo Wenzhi agreed and sighed, "This matter is going to cause trouble."
