Chapter 39

Everyone stopped what they were doing and listened.

Nan Tao's eyes widened. Could it be that Lan Wen's parents came? No, how could I miss such a good thing? I had to go and see it quickly. If I missed the scene, I might not have the chance to see such a scene again next time.

Nan Tao whispered to Zhou Mei, "Aren't you going to get some movie footage? Can you come over and take a look?"

Zhou Mei looked relaxed, but she quickly washed her hands and dried them, "Let's go."

Jiang Hui and Wen Manqing saw the two people leave and asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

Nan Tao looked back and smiled, "Let's go and see the excitement. Do you want to go?"

"Go, wait for us."

When the children saw that the adults had left, they followed them to join in the fun.

The village chief was helpless, but he didn't persuade them. Anyway, these clips would be edited out when the show was broadcast on satellite TV, so he quickly followed.

When Nan Tao and his friends found the source of the sound, there were already a lot of people gathered around. It was obvious that everyone had come over to watch the excitement.

Nan Tao pushed through the crowd and looked inside.

A neatly and respectably dressed elderly couple was standing in the yard. Judging from what they were saying, they should be Lan Wen's biological parents. The woman was crying loudly at Lan Wen, and the man was talking to the dead old man.

Mother Lan: "My son, how did you become like this? I am your mother, do you still recognize me?"

Lan Wen shrank back in fear.

Seeing her daughter being unfamiliar and afraid of her, and also seeing that her 46-year-old daughter was still pregnant, Lan's mother was suddenly overwhelmed with grief. She hugged Lan Wen and cried bitterly, "Ah, my poor daughter..."

Father Lan: "You were the one who kidnapped my daughter?"

Qian Da: "Father-in-law, look at what you are saying. When did I kidnap your daughter? I would never do such a criminal thing. You can't slander me with empty words without any evidence. Be careful of being struck by lightning."

Lan's father had already prepared himself for Qian Da's tricky excuses, and he turned the tables and said, "Are you still a human being? My daughter is already over 40, and you still let her get pregnant."

Qian Da: "Who made her unable to give birth to a son? She gave birth to three girls in a row. They are all losers!"

"What?!" Lan Wen's parents almost fainted.

Lan's mother let go of Lan Wen and fought with Qian Da for her life.

Father Lan was shaking all over, but he still controlled his emotions. He stopped his wife and angrily said to Qian Da: "You beast!"

Qian Da: "Father-in-law, from what you said, it is natural to have a son. Otherwise, I would have nothing to do but raise her."

Lan's mother: "You shameless man! My husband and I are younger than you, how dare you yell at me like that!"

Qian Da not only did not feel embarrassed, but also shouted: "Mother-in-law, what you said is not authentic. Your daughter has been lying at home doing nothing for decades. I am the one who earns money to support the family. Otherwise, your daughter would have starved to death. You should be grateful to me. Not only are you not grateful, but you are scolding me. It's really unlucky."

Lan's father and mother: "You...you..."

Qian Da sneered: "What are you? I tell you, you are not welcome here. You have seen your daughter, so leave quickly. A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Just meet her once."

Lan's father and mother finally found their daughter, so how could they leave without taking her away?

Outside the crowd, Nan Tao watched with great interest, "Tsk tsk, this old man is so shameless that he can even say black is white. Lan Wen's parents are too polite, and there is no way they can stop the quarrel."

Sure enough, Mr. and Mrs. Lan were so angry that their faces turned red, and their lips trembled for a long time but they couldn't utter a word.

The netizens watching the live broadcast were all cursing angrily when they saw this scene.

[I am much older than them, how can I call them father-in-law and mother-in-law? 】

[His face is as thick as a city wall. ]

[Oh my god, I know this couple. They were my neighbor aunt and uncle when I was a kid. They are also from Haicheng County, but in Bali Village, which is far away from the village you are broadcasting. It only takes me more than an hour to get from the county to the city, but it takes at least two and a half hours to travel between the two villages.]

[Is this true? Didn’t it mean that my daughter was kidnapped right under my nose? ]

[A similar incident happened in my hometown, but the result was different. The daughter of that family was also abducted while studying at a university. She was also abducted back to my hometown county, but she was from a neighboring village. After being discovered, the family took a dozen relatives from the same village to the next village and beat up the man who abducted their daughter. Then they called the police and had him sent to the police station.]

[Oh my god, there is such a thing. This pregnant woman is so pitiful. She is from the same county, but she still hasn't found her biological parents after so many years.]

[Pregnant women with blue ankles must be tied up and cannot run anywhere.]

[Unless there is a possibility that the villagers were all accomplices who helped to cover up the crime, it is impossible that they were all in the same county and could not be found for more than 20 years.]

In addition to the live broadcast room, this case of missing a child has been on the hot search platforms, and the whole network is discussing it. There are countless official media platforms and self-media accounts that are reporting in real time, all trying to get traffic. Of course, this wave of traffic also won the "Mom Takes the Baby to Travel"

During the live broadcast, Lan's father and mother had an argument with Qian Da. One side accused the other of trafficking their daughter, which was suspected of being a crime, while the other side repeatedly denied it and accused the other side of being ungrateful.

Nan Tao shook her head and sighed, and chatted with Zhou Mei beside her, "This fighting ability is not good, it's like being pressed to the ground and rubbed."

Zhou Mei: "Too thin-skinned."

Nan Tao nodded: "We should bring a relative with strong fighting ability, but the incident happened suddenly, and it is not easy to rush here. Hey, how did they get here so quickly? Are they nearby?"

Zhou Mei: "That should be the case. Listen, they speak with the same accent."

Nan Tao's eyes widened: "It can't be so ridiculous, right?"

Zhou Mei shrugged, "Who knows?"

As the two were talking, a burst of sirens came from far away, and soon a policeman in uniform was seen getting out of the car, pushing through the crowd and walking in.

Nan Tao saw obvious panic flash across the old man's face.

Qian Da cursed at Lan's father and mother: "You two old fools, why are you calling the police? Your daughter is pregnant with my child and has been married to my family for 20 years. Why can't you talk to her in a nice way? I am your aunt. If I go to jail, who will take care of your daughter? Which man would dare to marry her? I tell you, your daughter is a fool now. No one would want her except me."

Lan's mother was shaking with anger, and pointed at Qian Da with a trembling finger: "You old man, we can raise my daughter ourselves. Even if she is stupid, we are willing to raise her. You don't need to worry about it!"

The police failed to mediate between the two families, and finally took everyone into the police car and took them to the police station.

Everyone had left, there was nothing exciting to watch, and everyone dispersed.

When Nan Tao saw Qian Erniu mouthing thank you to her, she smiled, turned around and followed Zhou Mei away.

Back at the gathering place, everyone chattered about what had just happened.

The village chief coughed and said, "It's almost noon, everyone hurry up and make dinner."

After lunch, it was almost three o'clock. Everyone went back to their rooms to sleep and rest. Nan Tao and her son still stayed at Jiang Hui's place.

It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon when the four families woke up.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the village chief issued a new task: "Tonight, the adults will go to the sea to catch seafood. The caught seafood will be sold at the county market tomorrow. The children can play here and have dinner tonight."

After hearing this, the children were reluctant to leave.

Especially little Yang Xuan, although she had experienced a mission separation before, she was still unwilling to separate from Zhou Mei.

Zhou Mei coaxed her for a long time, but finally left quietly. Before leaving, she hid behind the wall to watch her daughter. Seeing that her daughter and Zhang Tong were having a lot of fun, she left with the others without worry.

The adults were working hard to catch seafood at sea, while the children were playing at the gathering place.

When it was time for dinner, the village chief took care of the children one by one.

But after dinner, the village chief had a headache because the children all missed their mother and surrounded him, asking where his mother was and why she hadn't come back yet.

Even Zhang Tong, who was always cheerful and lively, became depressed, with red eyes and a look of wanting to cry but not wanting to. Perhaps the emotions of the children were contagious, and the two boys, Yu Ze and Zhan Li, also became depressed.

Especially Zhan Li, who has been in an orphanage since he can remember, and was often bullied by older children. It was common for him to be hungry, cold, and often beaten. But after being adopted by Jiang Hui's mother, he felt like he had entered heaven. Every day was happy, as if he was floating on soft cotton, comfortable but uneasy, and he often worried that one day he would return to his previous gloomy life.

Zhan Li's dark eyes were tinged with gloom and anxiety. He grabbed the village chief's clothes with his little hands and stared at him, "When will Mother Jiang Hui come back?"

The village chief felt soft in his heart and touched Zhan Li's soft head: "Mom has gone to do the task. She will be back when the task is completed. Don't worry."

Zhan Li pursed his lips, dissatisfied with the answer. He walked to Yu Ze's side and, like Yu Ze, leaned on the railing and looked into the distance.

After an unknown amount of time, it was already dark, and just when the village chief could no longer console the children, the mothers finally came back.

The children happily rushed towards their mothers.

Yu Ze rarely leaned on Nan Tao, hugged his mother's neck with his hands, and snuggled in her arms.

Nan Tao hugged Yu Ze and whispered, "Do you miss Mommy?"

Yu Ze nodded.

Nan Tao coaxed, "Isn't mommy back? Look, she wasn't out for long, just half a day, just like you normally go to kindergarten, right?"

Yu Ze felt something was not right, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be right, so he nodded again.

Nan Tao smiled and said, "Come on, baby, let's go to your aunt Mei's house to take a shower, and then go home to sleep."

The next day,

The guests gathered at the gathering place and, as usual, they played some small games before having breakfast.

After breakfast, the village chief said, "Divide into groups according to the ranking of the mini-game before breakfast. Jiang Hui and Wen Manqing will be in one group, and Zhou Mei and Nan Tao will be in another group. The two teams will sell the seafood caught yesterday. The group that sells more will be awarded the "Mom and Baby Travel" Season 3 Gold Medal. The money from the sales will be donated to children in need in the mountains."

As the seafood was placed in buckets and was rather heavy, the production crew drove the guests directly to the market in the county seat. However, due to the competition between the two teams, the Nan Tao Zhou Mei team and the Jiang Hui Wen Man Qing team were in different markets.

Nan Tao Zhou Mei found the designated open space, placed the bucket, and began to shout to sell seafood, "Cheap seafood, don't miss it if you pass by, everyone come and take a look."

After shouting for a long time, people came to look one after another, but not many people wanted to buy. Most of them just asked the price and left.

Nan Tao's voice was tired from shouting, so she took a fan to fan herself and take a break.

The lady selling vegetables at the stall next to them was very enthusiastic and gave Nantao and his friends four tomatoes and four cucumbers to eat.

Nan Tao quickly thanked, "Thank you, big sister."

The mother was called "big sister" and smiled broadly, "Oh, I am so old and you still call me big sister. How embarrassing."

Nan Tao smiled and said, "Big sister looks quite young."

The eldest sister was so happy that she asked with a smile: "Are you big stars filming a show?"

Nan Tao: "Yes, we are filming a variety show for kids called "Mom Takes Kids on a Trip."

The eldest sister thought for a moment and said, "Oh, I've heard of this. My daughter likes to watch it."

Nan Tao: "Haha, you have good taste."

The eldest sister laughed and said, "That's right, my daughter has good taste in everything she does. You don't know, she has been..."

The eldest sister talks about everything from south to north and from east to west. She is definitely an expert at chatting.

Suddenly, the elder sister came over with a mysterious look on her face, "Do you know that there was a big case in Haicheng County recently?"

Nan Tao's curiosity was aroused, so she leaned forward and asked, "What is it? A big case?"
