Chapter 347: Safe Lock Obtained
After entering the house, as expected, I heard the scolding coming from outside the door, coming from Old Mrs. Xu.
What were Xu Guomin and his family doing at this time?
Knowing that Xu Rou was going to be hidden by the old couple and was going to find a way to get the safety lock that contained Xu Guomin's background, it was natural that this was the thing that the family of three was most concerned about at the moment.
After confirming that Mrs. Xu had left after being tired of scolding, the few of them began to discuss what to do next.
The next morning, Zhao Min and Xu Rou, mother and daughter, did not go to work or school after leaving the house. Instead, they hid in an inconspicuous place in the village according to the discussion the night before. Xu Guomin went to the couple's unit in the town and his daughter's school to ask for two days of leave.
Then he quietly returned to the village and found the mother and daughter.
Now is the highlight moment of your acting skills.
This man, who had been naive for more than thirty years, never expected that one day he would have such a side of himself.
Zhao Min seemed to know her husband's tangled emotions at the moment, and immediately stepped forward to comfort him, "Guomin, I know you may still feel a little reluctant about what we are going to do next.
In your heart, that old couple has been your parents for more than thirty years. It must be impossible for you to completely sever ties with them and change your roles all of a sudden.
But what I want to say now is that you are not alone. No matter what the situation is, Xiaorou and I will be by your side.
Over the years, has there ever been a day when your mother, my mother-in-law, and Xiaorou's grandmother, treated us as real family?
I believe that even if this incident had not happened, she would have come up with other ideas in the future to exchange our daughter for a betrothal gift to her younger son. ”
He could see that his wife and daughter were worried about the current situation, so he quickly adjusted his mood.
"Don't worry, ever since I found out that I was replaced at birth by someone with ulterior motives, I no longer have any expectations of that couple.
I agreed with Xiaorou's suggestion to find a way to get the safety lock back, partly because I didn't want this family to go to my biological parents and bring up their greedy ideas.
Another reason was that I thought I would have the chance to meet my biological parents in the future. Maybe they would accept me and cherish the boy who was switched even more.
Whatever the result is, I will accept it with pleasure.
In the past thirty years or so, I have never enjoyed the love and care from my parents, and it doesn’t matter if I continue to not have them in the future.
You are right. I am already most satisfied as long as I have you and our daughter.
The only thing I feel guilty about is that you and I have suffered over the years, and the situation may not improve for some time in the future. ”
It could be heard that the husband/father had thought it through, and Zhao Min and Xu Rou both felt relieved.
Next, Xu Guomin and his wife went home together as they had agreed, and tried various ways to help their daughter create conditions to get the old couple from the Xu family out of the house.
Just before dinner on the first day, Xu Rou got the safety lock.
On that day, when the old couple were not in the house, they were chatting with Xu Guomin and his wife. When they found that the lock was missing, they would be the least likely to suspect.
After all, there are only three people in the family, two of whom are always with them, and the younger one is in school and it is impossible for him to appear at home.
Xu Guomin looked at the safety lock in his hand with an indescribable emotion.
Looking closely, one side of the lock is engraved with the words "good luck and good fortune", and the other side is a pattern of auspicious clouds.
And at the top of the lock, slightly below where the chain hangs, there is a small word "Xu" engraved.
From the overall shape to the detailed design, one can tell how much thought the couple put into preparing this safety lock.
One could vaguely feel how much the two of them were looking forward to the birth of their babies.
But at the same time, in sharp contrast were the old couple of the Xu family, who were also new parents.
They are actually willing to exchange their own children.
Don't use the excuse of going to a rich family to enjoy a good life for the sake of your children.
There is a saying that makes a lot of sense, "A son will never despise his mother's ugliness, and a dog will never despise his family's poverty."
Could it be that in their hearts, their own son's character is even worse than that of a dog that doesn't mind his family's poverty?
After learning the truth, will their son who was replaced still say to his so-called biological parents: "Listen to me, thank you, because of you, selfless motives!!!"
After looking at it carefully, Xu Guomin handed the safety lock back to Xu Rou.
"Your mother and I proposed to sever our relationship later, and anything we took out of the house would inevitably be inspected by this family.
Also, in order to avoid the possibility of someone discovering that this thing is in our hands, we should keep it with you, Xiaorou.
No matter what, as children, they are the least likely to be suspected. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Min on the side quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, just listen to your father and put the lock away quickly.
Forget it, you just go to school tomorrow, and your dad and I will handle things at home.
If you have no place to eat at noon, you can go to the state-owned restaurant. After school in the afternoon, your father or I will take care of the housework, and at least one of us will pick you up at the school gate. I'm afraid we will go directly back to our new home in town. ”
