Chapter 237: Write it off

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren thought that the children were exchanged, but they didn't expect that Zhang Datie had already left the master's house. Zhang Datie did not lie. This matter can be found out if you want to investigate, as long as you know the surname and name of the original master.

Zhang Datie took a sip of tea, looked at Rongchuan and said, "It was hard to find a team at that time. One day, I went home late after drinking with my friends. I heard a baby crying and saw a woman holding a basket. I didn't want to intervene at first, but the baby was crying so hard that the woman became impatient and reached into the basket as if she was afraid of being discovered. I was about to smother the baby, and I was drunk and my brain got hot and I rushed over."

Having said that, Zhang Datie looked at Rongchuan, and his meaning was very clear: I am also your savior.

Zhang Datie continued, "I knocked the old woman to the ground. Seeing how drunk and ferocious I was, she thought the child had suffocated to death and ran away in a hurry. I did not chase her. The naked child in the basket turned out to be a boy. I happened to have no boys. When I saw that the child was still breathing, I took him home. I have seen a lot of secrets in the backyard, including the substitution of one thing for another. Fortunately, we have already negotiated a convoy, and we will leave the capital in three days."

Zhulan believed Zhang Datie's words. Zhang Datie could have made up a perfect life story, and it would take a lot of effort to investigate. Zhang Datie didn't make it up, and told everything he knew. Zhulan asked, "Is there any difference in the basket at that time?"

Zhang Datie shook his head, "Except for Rongchuan being a newborn baby, there was nothing in the basket, let alone anything to prove his identity. Whether they were replacing someone else or stealing a child, if they wanted to do it cleanly, they would leave nothing behind."

However, he didn't say that the less he left behind, the more afraid he was of being found out. Rongchuan must have a complicated background since he was able to conduct a large-scale investigation.

It was precisely because he had nothing to prove his identity that he dared to raise a son. Later, when he had his own son, Rongchuan was in trouble. If he didn't have a son, he would be a treasure. Now that he had a son, who knew whether it would be a good thing or a bad thing if they really found out. Moreover, several years had passed, and if they wanted to find out, they would have found out long ago. If they hadn't, he knew in his heart that they wouldn't find out. He had also grown bolder. He had been a servant for so long and had a lame leg, so it was inevitable that he felt gloomy. He was ordered around by his master, and all his anger as a servant was taken out on Rongchuan. After all, Rongchuan was a son of a wealthy family, and he was also a master. It's just that no one expected Rongchuan to be so lucky.

His plan to sell Rongchuan was shattered, and he couldn't afford to offend the Zhou family. He was angry, but the Zhou family was getting better and better, and he didn't dare to let his wife and children look for Rongchuan.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren didn't know what was going on in Zhang Datie's mind. Although the information Zhang Datie provided was not very useful, they did have a lot of information. First of all, it was about the capital city, and secondly, in order to prevent future troubles, the babies had to be killed. It can be seen that people who dared to kill children were also afraid. Finally, the male protagonist's kind face was indeed not groundless, and Rongchuan might really be cannon fodder.

Zhou Shuren's lower back hurts, and Zhang Datie has said everything he needs to say. He is going to go back and lie down. "Okay, you guys take the money and go."

Zhang Datie was in no hurry to leave. He needed a promise from Rongchuan, so he said to Rongchuan, "If I hadn't felt compassion at the beginning, you would have died. After all, I saved your life, took you away from the place of trouble, and raised you well for a few years. Although I tortured you later, I saved your life after all. Today, I will take the initiative to tell you my life story. You must promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you are not allowed to take revenge on me and my descendants."

Rong Chuan pursed his lips. Zhang Datie was telling the truth. It was thanks to Zhang Datie that he was still alive. Otherwise, he would have died long ago. "Okay, let's make a deal from today on."

Zhang Datie was relieved. As long as he had a promise, it was fine. If he had known that this kid would still have good luck in the future, he would never have tortured him, even if he was beaten to death. "Thank you, thank you."

Zhang Datie took his wife and children and the money and left. Zhou Shuren looked at his sons and said, "Just remember what you heard today. Don't discuss it anymore. Remember that."

Boss Zhou and the others looked at each other and said in unison, "I'll remember that."

Rongchuan opened his mouth and wanted to withdraw money, but his aunt did not give him a chance and went back to the house to rest.

Chang Lian patted Rong Chuan on the shoulder and said, "Mom and Dad treat you as their own family, so don't worry about money. If you dare to mention money, Mom and Dad will be unhappy."

Rong Chuan's eyes were slightly red. He had grown up so big, and his uncle and aunt had been the best to him. "Yes."

Zhulan helped Zhou Shuren into the house and laid him down. Zhou Shuren groaned, his waist aching as he lay there, and he dared not move. Zhulan applied medicine and rubbed his waist, and Zhou Shuren gasped for cool air.

Zhulan felt distressed and did not hold back. If she did, it would not be effective. The two of them talked about Rongchuan again. According to the current situation, it was useless to talk. Although they didn't know much information, appearance couldn't lie. It wouldn't be too late to talk about it when they met him in the future.

Zhulan rubbed for a while, and Zhou Shuren felt much more comfortable. He was indeed exhausted, and fell asleep for some reason. Zhulan carefully put down his clothes and untied Zhou Shuren's hair. Zhou Shuren's hair was really well maintained, and it was smoother than hers.

Zhulan took the pillow and lay down beside Zhou Shuren, and fell asleep in a short while.

When I woke up, it was already dark. Winter was approaching and the daylight hours were getting shorter. Zhou Shuren was still sleeping. I got up quietly and went out.

Mrs. Li was cooking dinner. Since moving here, everyone eats in the main courtyard and cooks in the hospital kitchen.

Zhulan said, "Let's cook some millet porridge in the evening."

I had too much greasy food at noon, so I just want to eat something light at night.

Zhulan came out of the kitchen and didn't see Xuemei. The couple went back home when she fell asleep. They had been busy all day and rested after dinner.

The next morning, the old couple from the Jiang family arrived. Zhulan then remembered that the Jiang family had not come yesterday, and it seemed that no one had informed the Jiang family about the move!
