[Chapter 178 Chapter 178 Rescue]
Joan's mother naturally made preparations before going back.
In addition to the troops, she was accompanied by personnel from relevant county units whom they had contacted in advance, as well as local public security personnel.
So the process of having a child this time went very smoothly.
It took almost no effort to rescue Joan.
Yes, rescue.
Fortunately, they arrived early. If they had arrived later, the family would have married Joan off.
She married a 26-year-old cripple from the mountains, and in exchange the cripple's sister came back to be the wife of the eldest grandson of the family.
And that year Joan was only twelve years old!
After learning the truth and confirming that the timid, thin and small girl in front of her was indeed her own flesh and blood, Qiao An's mother was furious!
In addition, there was a group of people who followed her, so that family received the punishment they deserved.
Joan was also taken home.
But the problem becomes what to do with these two girls when I take them home.
Logically speaking, Qiao An has returned, so Qiao Fei and she should return to their respective positions.
But although Qiao An is her biological daughter, Qiao Fei is also the child that the couple has raised for ten years as a treasure.
Moreover, compared with Qiao An's pale and thin appearance that looks unremarkable, Qiao Fei appears to be more graceful, excellent and likable.
There was no way Qiao An's parents could think of sending Qiao Fei back to the countryside.
Later, the couple discussed it and decided to keep both children.
They first went to find Qiao Fei's biological parents, and on the condition that they would not be held accountable for the crime of human trafficking, they asked them to write a letter of commitment, promising to give up Qiao Fei, never recognize her, and never cause trouble for her.
Several members of that family were still in prison at that time. When they heard that they would not be held accountable, they signed the agreement without thinking twice.
After all, for a girl who was taken away at the age of two, it is more important to release her family from prison.
They gave up on Qiao Fei directly.
But this incident completely broke Joan's heart, and she no longer had the initial sense of closeness to this family.
Only those who suffer know.
No matter how many reasons her parents had, she was the one who was almost sold.
Seeing that her parents gave up pursuit of the crime and released the family from prison because of her sister, it was impossible for Qiao An not to feel sad.
She was twelve years old at that time.
In the country, a twelve-year-old girl who has been abused for a long time has learned a lot.
She can easily tell other people's attitude towards her.
So even though they lived under the same roof, and even though the things her parents gave her were almost the same as those they gave Qiao Fei, Qiao An could still feel the difference in how her parents treated her and Qiao An.
I can sense their conflicting feelings towards me, both feeling sorry for me and feeling disgusted with me.
As a result, Joan just couldn't get close to them and felt out of place in that family.
These behaviors made her even less likable, and caused her parents to think that they couldn't keep her company.
Then Joan fell ill, in the third month after she returned home.
She fell seriously ill and nearly died again.
Later, Mr. Qiao went to the hospital in person and stayed with her at her bedside for a whole day. After she recovered, the old man took her to his own residence.
From then on, Joan lived with her grandfather.
Joan never moved back to her parents' home.
The two sides only maintained normal exchanges of courtesy, but were never close from beginning to end.
When Qiao An was 20 years old, the old man was seriously ill. Before he died, the old man personally chose a husband for Qiao An and married her to Feng Changyuan.
Feng Changyuan is twelve years older than Qiao An, and he was already thirty-two when the old man chose him.
Feng Changyuan had been stationed on the island for many years, so he had never married.
When he was selected by Mr. Qiao, he had just been transferred back to the division headquarters to serve as deputy director of the political department.
At the age of 32, he has been a full regiment commander for three years and is about to be transferred to the deputy division commander. His future is bright.
Qiao An did not refuse her grandfather's arrangement. The next day after Feng Changyuan received the notice to return to Beijing, she went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with him to get the certificate.
After seeing their marriage certificate, the old man closed his eyes peacefully.
After finishing her grandfather's funeral, Qiao An and Feng Changyuan came to Binhai together and have lived here ever since.
Qiao An would occasionally return to the capital during the holidays, and she would be told about any big or small events at home.
The two sides have been interacting like this, but they are not close.
After Cheng Liyan told Shen Yuyao these words, he concluded: "I have known Lao Feng for many years. We knew each other before he was transferred back to the division headquarters. In addition, the Qiao family's affairs are no secret in Beijing.
So I know a little more about this matter.
You should accept whatever your sister-in-law gives you in the future. I think she probably doesn’t want to see the things sent by that family, and feels upset to have them at home.”
Shen Yuyao blinked, and for a moment she was speechless.
Speaking of which, she and Qiao An have known each other for quite some time, but she never expected that she would have such an experience.
Putting herself in his shoes, Shen Yuyao felt that what her husband said made sense.
If she were in his place, she probably wouldn't feel happy when she saw the things sent from there.
Probably feel bored too.
Anyway, Shen Yuyao felt that she could not understand it at all.
What kind of mentality is it to ignore your own daughter for the sake of the child of your enemy?
While Shen Yuyao was still shocked by what Cheng Liyan had just said, this person continued, "Don't ask her about the book. She probably got some gossip from somewhere and rushed over to grab some. Even if she knows something, she can't just say it out.
Instead of asking her, why don't you go with me for acupuncture in the evening, and then you can just ask Dr. Gu directly.
To be able to bring back so many books at once, they must be books that are no longer needed somewhere."
Which book do you no longer want?
Shen Yuyao had never thought about it in this way before.
The main reason is that in Wushuang country, books were very valuable.
There is no such thing as someone not wanting it.
But she immediately realized that this kind of thing should be very common here.
Thinking of those people who secretly burned and tore up books, she felt heartbroken.
"Go ask Doctor Gu, will he know?"
"I guess so. They have their own channels for collecting waste. They are definitely the first to know where there is waste to be collected."
