Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

As soon as Mrs. Zhan and Zhan Baoku arrived in Jiangyuan City, they went straight to the nearby bus stop after coming out of the bus station and took the bus to Zhan Tiehua.

When the two arrived at Zhan Tiehua's home, it was already past two in the afternoon. At this time, Zhan Tiehua went to work, Qin Xingzhou was in the delicatessen, and there were only a bunch of children and an old man with Alzheimer's disease at home.

Zhang Ling went to open the door and saw her grandmother and uncle standing at the door. She didn't care how embarrassed they looked. She rushed over and hugged Old Lady Zhan, crying, "Grandma, you're finally here. Are you and uncle here to take me home?"

Old Lady Zhan and Zhan Baoku were stunned. Go home? Where do they have a home now? All the houses they bought in the county and the city were deemed as illegal gains and confiscated.

As for the big house in Zhanjiazhuang, it was spacious and magnificent, but how could they dare to go back now?

Those unruly people wanted to eat them alive. If murder was not against the law, they would have been beaten to death by the villagers yesterday.

Now, they had no other choice but to stay with Zhan Tiehua for a while and then think of a way out. They couldn't run rampant in the village like Zhan Dayou did, but at least they had to live a life without worries about food and clothing.

Old Lady Zhan first pulled Zhang Ling up from her arms and said, "Grandma and your uncle have to stay with your parents for a while. You've been home these days. How are your parents treating you? Are you getting along well with your two younger brothers?"

Old Mrs. Zhan led Zhang Ling in and asked her about her well-being.

The child was raised by old lady Zhan, and the Zhan family had always been good to her. So when she heard that something happened to the Zhan family, she cried so sadly.

She was still young and didn't quite understand the seriousness of the family incident. She only heard about some things vaguely. She thought she would never see her grandma and uncle again.

When she heard old lady Zhan asking her about her life at her biological parents' home, she cried and shook her head and said, "They are not good to me. My parents just beat me, scold me and make me work every day. Grandma, please take me back to Zhanjiazhuang. I don't want to live here anymore..."

Old lady Zhan comforted her, "Lingling, be obedient and stay here for a while. Something happened at grandma's house, and we can't go back to Zhanjia Village now. Now that grandma and uncle are here, if your parents dare to beat or scold you again, grandma will vent their anger for you!"

Zhang Ling couldn't insist anymore after hearing what Grandma Zhan said. And with her grandma as a backer, she thought her parents would be more restrained.

Although Zhan Tingting's father died when she was very young, she grew up in the Zhan family. Therefore, she was very happy to see Mrs. Zhan and Zhan Baoku coming.

She is not close to her mother. Although her mother was also sentenced this time, she was not worried about her mother's situation at all. Instead, she was very worried about the relatives of the Zhan family.

She is a teenager now and more sensible than other children. A few days ago, she read the news and newspapers, which reported on the situation of the Zhan family, including how their relatives were treated. She now basically understands it all.

Therefore, she didn't feel strange when she didn't see Zhan Dayou and his two aunts, and she didn't mention those people.

"Grandma, uncle, are you hungry? Sit on the sofa and rest for a while. I'll go heat up some food for you!" Zhan Tingting saw how miserable the two looked and knew that they must have suffered a lot, so she was very sensible and went to prepare food for them.

Zhang Ling also reacted at this time. Looking at her grandma and uncle like that, she felt very distressed and took the initiative to pour them some water.

Only when the Zhan mother and son arrived at Zhan Tiehua's house did they truly feel like they were alive again.

Soon, Zhan Tingting heated up the leftovers from lunch and brought them to the table, and made fried rice with eggs as the staple food.

She also specially fried a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions for her grandmother and uncle so that they could have a better meal.

The two of them wolfed down the meal. They had eaten all kinds of delicious food in the past, but now, they even ate the two plates of leftovers from the previous meal with gusto, leaving nothing behind.

After dinner, the two of them remembered to treat their injuries: "Lingling, go get the medicine box, grandma and your uncle are injured, apply some medicine!"

After receiving instructions from Old Lady Zhan, Zhang Ling quickly went to her parents' room to find the medicine box.

Zhan Baoku recovered from the shock and suddenly remembered his daughter Zhan Yingying. He hadn't heard the child crying just now and almost forgot about it.

Now Zhan Yingying is taking a nap on the same bed with Zhan Tiehua’s two sons.

It's no wonder that Zhan Tiehua treated his niece Zhan Yingying very well. After bringing her back home, he bought her milk powder and diapers. Seeing that the clothes she brought back were not enough for the child, she also bought her some children's clothes.

When she was at work, Zhan Tingting and Zhang Ling were responsible for feeding Zhan Yingying, changing her diapers, and feeding her. The two girls were very attentive and took good care of Zhan Yingying.

Because Zhang Ling often looked for opportunities to bully her two younger brothers, her brothers did not like her and would drive her away when they got angry and told her not to stay in their home.

They don't seem to realize yet that this is their home and also their sister Zhang Ling's home.

Perhaps when they grow up a little, they will ask why they have the surname Qin while their biological sister has the surname Zhang.

Growing up in such a family environment, Zhang Ling knew from an early age that money is more reliable than feelings.

This is also the reason why she could use her child born from an affair with someone else to deceive and blackmail Sun Aimin and Yuan Jie. Or maybe her evilness came largely from her family genes.

The kindness she shows now is just to those who are kind to her and who can be relied on by her. Once the issue of interests is involved, she can turn evil in an instant.

But now Zhang Ling is still a weak and helpless little thing. She has returned to her original family, but lives a life like a dependent.

It was not until she saw Old Lady Zhan and Zhan Baoku that she felt a little bit at home.

For the whole afternoon, the Zhan mother and son did not contact Zhan Tiehua. It was not until Zhan Tiehua got off work and returned home that he learned that his mother and brother had been released from the detention center.

Zhan Tiehua first hugged her mother and brother and cried, and then the three of them went into the room and talked in private.

Regarding the matter of the family secretly hoarding millions of cash, the original intention was to leave the money to his son, so the daughters didn't know about it.

But as the conversation went on, the old lady accidentally blurted out something. So much money was taken away by those unruly people, and she couldn't say anything. If she didn't say it, she would die in uneasiness.

When Zhan Tiehua heard her mother talk about how she was injured, she mentioned that she went home to get something and ran out in the middle of the night, was caught and beaten, and her things were stolen.

Zhan Tiehua asked in confusion: "What was taken away? Haven't all the household registrations you applied for been checked out? Is there anything valuable that hasn't been found?"

Old lady Zhan said to her daughter in a perfunctory manner: "Hey, it's nothing, it's nothing, it's just something passed down from our ancestors, I wanted to leave it to your brother..."

Zhan Tiehua knew her mother was hiding something from her when she saw her mother's expression. She could guess what it was without her mother saying it explicitly.

All the good things in the house were brought to us by our younger brothers first. Now that this has happened, are you still hiding them from her?

Forget it, they won't tell me, and I'm too lazy to ask. Anyway, whether I ask or not, the thing is gone. If she knew what it was, she would be even angrier.

She could only comfort herself that it was not true, and repeatedly told the two of them, "I will pretend I don't know about this, and you two should stop talking about it in my house.

Xingzhou always quarrels with me because of our family affairs. If he knows something more, I will have a hard time living like this..."
