Qiao Xinyi stood at the door for a while, waiting for Chen Yubing to calm down before going in.
She didn't have much experience in deep contact with people, so she was not very good at comforting people.
"Mom, tell us what happened on the day Qiao Yunsong disappeared." Qiao Xinyi pulled out a chair for Chen Yubing to sit and talk, and she sat down opposite Chen Yubing.
"Qiao Yunsong was already 36 years old when he disappeared. And I heard from you and He that Qiao Yunsong has never been convinced by Chen Ju and Qiao Laiwang since he was a child. He doesn't like Chen Ju. I heard from Qiao He that Yunsong was smart since he was a child and could help you and Chen Ju to speak up when he was very young."
"Such a smart child, this isn't the first time he's been home alone, how come he suddenly disappeared that day?"
Qiao Xinyi pondered for a moment, it was okay that she didn't know about Chen Ju and Qiao Dongmei before.
After all, the loss of children does happen, and human traffickers have existed since ancient times.
Moreover, before, I didn't know that Qiao Laiwang was not Chen Ju's biological son. Even if the grandmother didn't like this family of grandchildren, I just didn't love them.
But today, knowing that Chen Ju could sell out her Qiao He so easily, and thinking about the child saying that Qiao Dongmei and their family had known each other for a long time, Qiao Xinyi had to think the worst.
"You are suspicious..." Li Jun was shocked, "No way? No matter what..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Jun shook his head again. There was nothing he couldn't do. He didn't even dare to think about it before it happened, but the fact was that Chen Ju sold out the Qiao Xinyi sisters so easily.
"Qiao Laiwang was not born to Chen Ju. It has been clear over the years that Chen Ju does not regard Qiao Laiwang as her son, but only as her blood. She does not have much affection for Qiao Laiwang, whom she raised with her own hands, and she has never liked the grandchildren born to my mother."
Chen Yubing quickly grabbed Qiao Xinyi's hand, and her whole body was visibly shaking.
"At that time, Yunbai was still young and couldn't be alone, so I carried him on my back."
"I'm going back to my parents' home to borrow money for He's tuition. I think He is a well-behaved child and does well in school. Her uncle and aunt would praise her whenever they saw her and they all liked her, so I thought that if I bring her along, maybe it would be easier to borrow money."
"Plus, I didn't have much money at that time, and Yunsong was tall, so I had to buy tickets. I didn't dare bring too many mouths back, for fear of being looked down upon, so I took Yunbai with me."
Chen Yubing recalled the humiliation she received from her mother's family that morning and shook her head slightly without saying anything.
Instead, he said, "I left home around eight that day and returned home a little after eleven. When I got home, only Chen Ju was at home. I thought Yun Song was playing in the courtyard like before, so I dropped Yun Bai off and went straight to make lunch."
"After lunch, we went to find Yunsong and came back to eat. After asking, we found out that Yunsong was not playing in the compound. Later, someone said that they saw Yunsong leaving the compound, but no one knew where Yunsong went after leaving the compound. No one knew why Yunsong, who used to be very obedient, suddenly ran out of the compound."
Children these days are basically left to their own devices, well fed and warmly clothed, and when they are not at home they play in the staff quarters. Every child lives this way.
Adults would tell their children not to leave the family compound, and good children would obey. Qiao Yunsong was one of those obedient children.
"Yunsong never came back after that." Chen Yubing lowered her head and wiped away her tears.
"Mom, think about it. Before Yunsong disappeared, did any of Chen Ju, Qiao Dongmei, or Qiao Chengda need money? Or did anyone suddenly gain something after Yunsong disappeared?"
After Qiao Xinyi finished asking, Chen Yubing recalled, "Chen Ju has always hated Yunsong, because Qiao Laiwang's father passed away not long after Yunsong was born. Chen Ju always scolded Yunsong, saying that he was the one who killed his grandfather..."
Chen Yubing slapped her thigh before she finished her words. "I remember now! When Yunsong disappeared, Qiao Chengda and Zhao Xiaoyan were talking about getting married!"
Chen Yubing said, "Zhao Xiaoyan and Qiao Chengda fell in love with each other, but others didn't know that when Qiao Chengda and Zhao Xiaoyan got married, Zhao Xiaoyan was already pregnant for several months!"
"The Zhao family said that Zhao Xiaoyan had asked relatives at the hospital to help check and found out that Zhao Xiaoyan was pregnant with a son. The Zhao family asked for a 100 yuan betrothal gift and also asked for 30 yuan. They threatened Chen Ju to get rid of Qiao Chengda and said that if they didn't give it, they would report Qiao Chengda for being a hooligan and then take Zhao Xiaoyan to beat the son in her belly."
"Chen Ju couldn't bear to part with Zhao Xiaoyan's pregnant grandson, nor did she want to let Qiao Chengda go to labor camp, so Chen Ju went around raising money during that period."
"I took a lot from Qiao Yougen and Qiao Laiwang, and wrote an IOU to the Zhao family. I had finally settled the matter, but Qian Chunhua refused to do it again."
"Qian Chunhua said she was the eldest sister-in-law and had given birth to two grandchildren for the Qiao family. She had worked like a slave for the Qiao family for so many years. Why could Zhao Xiaoyan, a slut who got pregnant before marriage, get such a high bride price?"
"Qian Chunhua forced Chen Ju to raise more money. If Zhao Xiaoyan gave more betrothal gifts, she would give her the corresponding amount. If Chen Ju didn't give more, she would take her two grandsons to Qiao Chengda's wedding place and kill themselves."
At that time, Qiao Laiwang had just started working, and even though his salary was held by Chen Ju, Chen Ju had always spent Qiao Laiwang's money lavishly, so he didn't save much.
Not to mention Qiao Yougen, who was as cunning as a sieve and didn't pay much.
Qiao Dongmei and Lin Jianye did not borrow much. Most of it was borrowed from Chen Ju's family and the Qiao family's relatives and friends.
After Qian Chunhua's disturbance, Chen Ju had no choice but to borrow money from somewhere else.
"At that time, everyone in the textile factory's family compound was afraid of Chen Ju. None of Qiao's relatives dared to see Chen Ju, and her family didn't even want to let her in."
Chen Yubing never interfered in the affairs of the Qiao family. When Chen Ju asked her to take out the money, she refused.
After that, Chen Yubing no longer paid attention to where Chen Ju went to borrow money.
Chen Yubing clenched her hands tightly while saying, "About two months after Qiao Yunsong disappeared, Zhao Xiaoyan and Qiao Chengda got married, and Qian Chunhua stopped causing trouble."
The not-so-long nails pinched her palm and left a bloody mark.
"Qian Chunhua must have taken the money. She is not just making trouble for her own sake. It must be Qiao Yougen's intention. The two wives are singing the same tune, one is the good guy and the other is the bad guy." Qiao Xinyi said.
Chen Ju had borrowed all she could before, so where could she borrow money from later?
Qiao Xinyi suddenly stood up and said, "I have to meet Chen Ju again."
After saying that, she strode out, picked up the bloody brick that Li Jun had just thrown back to its original place, and then went to the detention room where Chen Ju was imprisoned.
"Li Jun, ask your colleague to help me open the door." Qiao Xinyi stood at the door and turned back to call out to Li Jun who was chasing after her.
Before Li Jun could speak, the public security comrade had already opened the door.
Qiao Xinyi strode straight in. With just a glance, the police officer opened the iron gate again.
