Madam Qin and Xin Xin hugged each other and cried for more than ten minutes before finally stopping.
"Xin Xin, what are you doing here? Tell Grandma quickly." Old Madam Qin reached out and wiped away Xin Xin's tears, finally remembering to ask these questions.
Xin Xin looked in Qiao Qiqi's direction and replied, "It was my sister who brought me here for treatment."
"?" Old Madam Qin was taken aback.
Then it dawned on me that the younger sister Qiao Qiqi had mentioned taking to get treatment was Xin Xin!
Realizing this, the old lady immediately looked at Qiao Qiqi and asked, "When you said you were bringing your sister to Beijing for medical treatment, did you mean you were bringing Xin Xin?"
Qiao Qiqi nodded, "Yes!"
The Fang family members standing nearby were also stunned.
I don't understand why Qiao Qiqi's sister suddenly became Madam Qin's granddaughter.
It wasn't until Qiao Qiqi recounted what had happened that she learned she had encountered a brother and sister who were starving a little over a month ago. Her husband had unintentionally saved the siblings, and the two of them had taken them in.
Because Chenchen wasn't present at the time, and Xinxin was too young, Chenchen hadn't told her many things, and more importantly...
Everything was just Chenchen's suspicion, without any evidence, so Qiao Qiqi didn't say that Xiao Tanghai was the mastermind behind it all.
She only said that Chenchen and Xinxin were targeted by human traffickers, who, not giving up, attacked the siblings again by the river, stabbing Chenchen. Xinxin lost her ability to speak because of that trauma.
The old lady's heart was breaking upon hearing this.
Seeing that so much had happened in just one month, and that her grandchildren had been away from her for over a year, she simply couldn't imagine how they had managed to survive on the outside world.
Fortunately, it has now been confirmed that the granddaughter is safe and sound.
The old lady immediately asked, "Where is Chenchen? Isn't Chenchen with you?"
Qiao Qiqi explained, "I came to Beijing in Fang Ke's car. There were only two seats on the car, so only Xin Xin and I came."
Now that things were out in the open, Qiao Qiqi didn't hide anything else. She explained that she had deliberately used buying pastries as an excuse, but in reality, it was because Xin Xin wanted to enter that courtyard. She realized that Xin Xin might know the people in the courtyard, so she deliberately went up to Aunt Zhou.
"I should apologize to you for this," Qiao Qiqi said sincerely to the old lady.
But at this moment, Madam Qin felt nothing but gratitude; she was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
Then Qin Baoguo, who was standing next to her, responded on her behalf: "Luckily you were smart enough to think of this solution, otherwise Grandma and Xin Xin would have missed each other. But perhaps it was fate that made Grandma insist on coming this morning."
Yes, it's all fate.
Grandma Qin sighed and couldn't help but hug and kiss Xin Xin again and again, as if she wanted to make up for all the kisses she had missed in the past year. Finally, she pinched Xin Xin's rubbed little face and concluded, "She's a little fatter than when she was at home, and she's grown taller and stronger."
When this was mentioned, Xin Xin immediately said with a proud look, "The food my sister makes is so delicious! It's the best thing I've ever eaten!"
"Really?" Old Madam Qin had heard from Fang's mother that Qiao Qiqi had been in charge of cooking since coming to Beijing, so she guessed that her cooking skills must be quite good. Now that her guess had been confirmed, Old Madam Qin immediately pointed at her nose and said, "Although you've grown up, your gluttonous nature hasn't changed at all. Look! What's this?"
The old lady suddenly took her hand out of her pocket, revealing two White Rabbit milk candies in her palm.
Xin Xin's eyes lit up immediately. She reached out, took a piece, popped it into her mouth, and smiled with her eyes crinkling.
When Madam Qin saw this familiar scene, her eyes reddened again. "This girl has loved sweets since she was little, and she still hasn't changed."
Xin Xin also reached out her little hand and took out two pieces of candy from her pocket, putting them into Madam Qin's hand, "These are for Xin Xin, my sister bought them for you, Grandma can have some too."
Grandma Qin grabbed her hand, "Grandma doesn't want to eat it, but Xin Xin can keep it for herself."
It was clear that Qiao Qiqi not only took the child to see a doctor, but also provided for her every need. Old Madam Qin was so moved that she didn't know what to say. "Xin Xin, tell Grandma, what has happened in the past year or so since you left Grandma? Do you remember?"
Xin Xin is already over five years old, so she has some memories.
Hearing Madam Qin's question, and recalling those unpleasant memories, she immediately became aggrieved. "Those bad people sold my brother and me. They made me wash clothes, chop firewood, and sweep the floor. If I didn't do it well, they wouldn't give me food and would beat me. Luckily, my brother came and took me away, but those bad people were still chasing me. My brother was afraid to take me to places with people, so he could only take me to the mountains. At night, we slept under trees, and there were wolves howling..."
As Xin Xin spoke, tears streamed down her face.
Old Madam Qin was heartbroken. "Don't cry, don't cry, it's all over now."
Xin Xin sniffed and looked at Qiao Qiqi again, saying, "Only my sister and brother are the best. They make delicious food for Xin Xin and brother every day, and buy me candy, milk powder, and steamed cakes. My sister spent a lot of money to treat my brother's illness, and my brother borrowed money to pay for it when he went home at night."
Qiao Qiqi was slightly taken aback.
Seeing that Xin Xin knew these things even though she couldn't speak at the time, she was a little surprised, but she immediately understood. She guessed that Chen Chen had said these words to Xin Xin.
"Why is my Xin Xin so unlucky, to have to suffer like this..." The old lady cried, tears streaming down her face.
Seeing that she was getting emotional again, Qin Baoguo quickly reminded her, "Grandma, the happiest thing is that Xinxin is back. You should be smiling."
The old lady wanted to laugh too, but she just couldn't control herself!
Fortunately, after Qin Baoguo's reminder, she finally thought of something more crucial and immediately said to Qin Baoguo, "Go and have someone bring Chenchen back right now!"
She had barely finished speaking when she suddenly changed her mind: "No! You go yourself, go and bring your brother back! Leave right now!"
Qin Baoguo thought the same way. Now that he knew where Chenchen was, he naturally wanted to bring her back immediately.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiqi immediately said, "I just bought a train ticket to go back today. In that case, can I ride with you back?"
Although cars are less comfortable than trains, trains require three or four transfers, which is quite troublesome.
If she could ride in Qin Baoguo's car, she could also cancel her train ticket and save some money.
"No! You can't leave!"
Upon hearing that Qiao Qiqi was about to leave, the old lady immediately grabbed her hand, saying, "You are a benefactor of the Qin family. I haven't properly thanked you yet. You can't leave!"
