Chapter 288 Lin Wanxia, save me! They are going to take me away!
Lin Wanxia pushed open the door and saw several strangers standing outside the yard.
There were men and women, each holding a bulging woven bag.
Aunt Wang looked over and asked Lin Wanxia: "Do you know them?"
Lin Wanxia shook her head.
"Are they relatives from Jiangying?"
Lin Wanxia was unsure, so she motioned for Aunt Wang to stay in the room and went out to take a look.
Standing at the gate of the yard, she asked the people outside: "Who are you?"
Several people had heavy local accents, and Lin Wanxia had to listen several times before she could hear clearly.
They were not Jiang Sinian's family, but Li's family.
They were Xingxing's family.
Lin Wanxia let them into the room, poured them some water, took some food, and went into the house to make a phone call.
The main thing was that Lin Wanxia couldn't be sure whether they were Li's family.
She was just a stepmother.
Xingxing himself didn't know them either. He had never seen the Li family since he could remember.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Wanxia called the unit where Jiang Sinian served as a special forces soldier.
She contacted Da Pingzi.
"Sister-in-law, I don't know about Xingxing either. No, I mean we haven't seen the Li family either." Da Pingzi was speechless, "It's strange. Why did they show up now after ignoring Xingxing for so many years?"
Lin Wanxia didn't know either. After thinking for a moment, she told Da Pingzi to report this matter.
Da Pingzi asked Lin Wanxia which level to report it to?
Lin Wanxia said, "Whoever approved Jiang Sinian to adopt Xingxing should be contacted."
Da Pingzi: "..."
He had to find the army commander.
He didn't dare.
But he couldn't tell Lin Wanxia that he didn't dare, so he could only bite the bullet and agree, "I'll try."
"If... I mean if, you have some secret code that can contact Jiang Sinian, please tell him too."
Just like Lin Wanxia said to Tan Qiuyun, sometimes they will subconsciously put themselves in the position of stepmother.
For example, now, Lin Wanxia didn't know what attitude to use to face Xingxing's family.
Lin Wanxia hung up the phone and went to the living room. There were
three men and two women from the Li family.
Judging from their looks, two of the men and one woman should be related by blood.
Xingxing's eyebrows and eyes are a bit similar to one of them.
You can't tell unless you look carefully.
Xingxing is now well raised by Lin Wanxia, and he looks like a well-educated city kid.
But the man who looks like him looks like an ordinary person who digs for food in the fields, with sad eyebrows and eyes.
One of the women ate silently, as if she had been hungry for days.
Her expression was a little strange.
The rest of the people were trying to talk to Xingxing.
"Xingxing, don't you remember your third uncle?"
"Xingxing, I'm your big uncle."
Big uncle also means uncle.
"Xingxing, I'm your little aunt."
"This child looks so much like Wenbin."
"Yes, at first glance, he's our Li family's child." "
..."
Xingxing, a social expert, didn't say anything, frowned and didn't want to talk to anyone. When she saw Lin Wanxia coming over, she breathed a sigh of relief, shook off the hands of her "relatives", and ran to hide behind Lin Wanxia.
"Lin Wanxia, save me! They're taking me away!"
"Who's taking you away?" Lin Wanxia asked Xingxing, but her face was facing the Li family.
The five people looked at each other, and it was the one who was called Xingxing's aunt who spoke.
"You are the sister-in-law of the Jiang family, right? I am Xingxing's aunt. That's right, we came all the way here to take Xingxing back home. After all,
he is the child of our Li family." Lin Wanxia immediately regretted letting them in, and said in a not-so-polite tone: "Now he is the child of your Li family? Xingxing is already six years old, isn't it a little late to come and recognize his relatives? As far as I know..."
Lin Wanxia felt the clothes on her waist tightened, and she stopped talking immediately, turned around and patted Xingxing, "You go and look after your sister first, I'll take care of this."
Xingxing didn't let go.
"Don't worry! I won't let anyone take you away!"
Xingxing finally let go, made a face at the people in the living room, and ran into his own bedroom.
Aunt Wang was inside with Yueyue.
Watching Xingxing close the door, Lin Wanxia continued, "As far as I know, when Xingxing was just born, you all voluntarily gave up your right to raise Xingxing." Lin Wanxia
asked Jiang Sinian, Xingxing has a grandparent, why did Jiang Sinian, a single young man, adopt Xingxing?
Logically, it shouldn't be Jiang Sinian's turn.
Jiang Sinian didn't like to talk about people behind their backs, so his answer was very simple, with only three words: "It's inconvenient."
It's inconvenient for them, so he raised the child.
Jiang Sinian didn't say why it was inconvenient.
Lin Wanxia guessed a few possibilities.
Xingxing's grandparents didn't want to raise Xingxing, so there's basically no need to guess.
It was said that Xingxing's grandparents opposed their daughter keeping Xingxing as a posthumous child.
Later, she lost her daughter due to heavy bleeding. She had no good feelings towards Xingxing and stopped associating with the Li family.
She did not want to acknowledge Xingxing as her nephew.
As for the Li family, Lin Wanxia had always been curious as to why they did not raise Xingxing.
At least it had been three years since she came from the book, and during these three years, the Li family had never exchanged letters with her.
Not to mention coming to see Xingxing.
As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal.
They did not acknowledge Xingxing for the first six years, but now they do?
The few of them looked at each other again.
Finally, the oldest one spoke.
"We couldn't afford to raise children before because of poor conditions. Now we can have food to eat after the land is subcontracted to each household, so we came to take the children home."
Lin Wanxia raised her eyebrows, not quite believing it.
The land contract was vigorously implemented in 1980, and it was widely popularized in 1981. By 1983, there were no farms or production teams in the country.
Now it is 1985.
Even if the Li family is backward, it is a bit late to come now.
Unless Xingxing can bring them some benefits when he returns.
One more person of population and arable land?
Seeing that Lin Wanxia didn't say anything, Aunt Xingxing rolled her eyes and tried to get close to her, "Sister-in-law Jiang, we all have to thank you! You became Xingxing's stepmother right after your wedding, and you took such good care of him! Put yourself in his shoes, you are good to Xingxing, and we can't let him drag you down.
It's hard to be a stepmother, we all know that. If we take Xingxing away, it will be one less burden for you, right?"
"Xingxing is a burden to you, but not to me." Lin Wanxia denied it very straightforwardly, "He is my son, my jacket, a part of my happiness, and a member of my small family. You can't take him away just because you want to!"
Xingxing, who was eavesdropping against the door, blinked and tears suddenly flowed down.
Aunt Wang, who had just coaxed Yueyue to sleep, got up and came over to wipe Xingxing's tears.
This is an unfortunate child, but also a lucky child.
Aunt Xingxing's face froze. She
subconsciously looked at the older man.
This was not what they thought.
They heard that Xingxing was living with her stepmother, and thought they could come and take Xingxing away. They
never thought that Lin Wanxia would not want to let her go.
The older man looked about sixty years old, but his hair was not white, and his expression was obviously a little surprised.
