Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

After Qian Jindou was sentenced to death, his photo was shown in the TV and newspaper reports. Now, Qian Jindou has become a "celebrity" in Luojiagou.

The streets and alleys across the country have been paying attention to this case for a long time. Now that the criminals have finally been sentenced, the vast majority of law-abiding people are cheering.

Luojiagou, as Qian Jindou's hometown, naturally became the focus of everyone's attention. Many nearby villagers came to ask their acquaintances in Luojiagou about the affairs of the old Qian family, so that the Qian family had been scolded by the villagers and the people of the surrounding villages to the point that they could not raise their heads.

The old couple of the Qian family were worried and sighed when they thought about their second son being shot. The second son had been doing well outside these years and was generous in giving them living expenses.

They once regarded their second son as their pride, and vaguely felt that the second son might be doing something shameful, but they did not expect the matter to be so serious.

That day, the Qian family received a strange phone call. The old lady Qian who answered the phone said, "Your son has been sentenced to death. Don't you feel aggrieved?"

When Mrs. Qian heard the words that her son had been sentenced to death, she felt extremely depressed.

Now someone called to provoke her, making her so angry that she yelled, "You bastard, are you deliberately making fun of our family? Bullying an old lady like me, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

The person on the other end of the phone said calmly, "I'm not here to laugh at you, but to speak up for your son. He didn't have to die, but now he has to die for his wife. Don't you relatives feel aggrieved?"

Old Mrs. Qian frowned and asked, "You, what do you mean by that?"

The other party responded: "Think about how your son made his fortune before? Zhan's family is the mastermind, and your son is at best a worker. How come all the Zhan's family members are fine, but your son is going to die?"

Old Madam Qian said, "Then, won't Zhan Dayou also be sentenced to death?"

The other party sighed and said, "Old lady, you are a smart person, why are you confused now? He is the organizer and must die, but his daughter, son, and daughter-in-law are all alive and well, and only your son will die with him. How much benefit can your son, a small follower, get? His daughter and son have made a fortune..."

After being reminded by the other party, Mrs. Qian suddenly realized what was going on. She had been so sad these days, and she was heartbroken about losing the several hundred yuan her second son gave her every month, that she had forgotten about it.

No, she had to go and have a good talk with the Zhan family. Even if the second son couldn't come back alive, she had to get more money back. The eldest son and grandson couldn't stand hardship and didn't have the ability to make money, so she had to make careful plans for them.

After hanging up the phone, Old Mrs. Qian held a small meeting at home and said that she would take her son and grandson to Jiangyuan City to settle accounts with the Zhan family.

When Qian Jincai and Qian Longbin, father and son, heard that they were going to Zhan's house to ask for money, they both became eager to make a move.

Qian Jincai had experienced the unfortunate incident of being robbed at the train station last time, and he was still afraid of traveling far away. However, with his family accompanying him, he was not so afraid anymore.

As for Qian Longbin, he had just been imprisoned for intentional injury and had been well behaved for a few days. Now that he heard that he was going to another city, he was still looking forward to it.

He has grown up but has never left the territory of Mafang City.

Finally, the family decided that Mrs. Qian would take her son and grandson out, and Old Man Qian would stay at home. Qian Meijuan had to go to school and could not go either.

As for the eldest daughter-in-law Yu Min who has been missing for many days, the Qian family has now forgotten that there is such a person, and no one has suggested looking for her.

Even if they called the police and asked them to help look for him, it would be fine. But it was a pity that Yu Min had almost no presence in this family except for doing housework.

Soon, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren packed up their simple luggage and set off. At this time, Zhan Tiehua was very busy every day, working during the day and buying groceries at night.

Although Zhan Tingting and Zhang Ling can help with some housework, she can't just let them go. She still has to do the laundry for the family and cook some complicated meals.

Zhan Baoku has never worked since he was a child. Now that he is in such a state of poverty, he doesn't even think about going out to find a job to earn some money, but instead directly asks Zhan Tiehua for money.

Zhan Tiehua wanted to persuade Zhan Baoku, saying that he had a daughter who was fed with milk powder, and that he should find ways to earn some money to make ends meet. However, every time the words were on her lips, old lady Zhan would block them out.

Zhan Baoku, after seeing the family's prosperous days, did not even bother with a job that paid two or three hundred yuan a month. However, he had no education and no special skills, so he could not get a high-paying job.

So he just stayed idle at home, occasionally playing with the children every day, and spending most of his time lying in bed.

Fortunately, Zhan Yinhua heard about what happened at her mother's side and generously remitted 10,000 yuan to Zhan Tiehua, solving his urgent problem.

As for Zhan Tingting and Zhang Ling returning to school, she has no time to take care of it now. If nothing unexpected happens, they will have no chance to return to school.

Zhan Tingting was fine, at least she had graduated from primary school. Zhang Ling, Zhan Tiehua's biological daughter, was just in the second grade. If she didn't go to school now, she would be illiterate when she graduated.

As a college student, she raised an illiterate daughter. I wonder if she has ever thought about how ironic this is. Perhaps, she has forgotten that this is her own daughter. In her eyes, there are only two precious sons.

Although the young Zhang Ling wanted to continue going to school, she did not realize the importance of going to school. She also knew that her biological parents would not care about her feelings at all, so she never even mentioned wanting to return to school.

What happened in Zhan Tiehua's home spread throughout the streets and alleys. Colleagues who knew some inside information naturally also knew that she was the relative of a human trafficker.

Although she still went to work as usual every day, she could clearly feel that the way her colleagues looked at her and their attitude towards her were obviously different.

She often saw her colleagues whispering to each other, but when they saw her coming, they all shut up.

There was also a colleague who had never gotten along well with her before, who directly told her about the ugly things that happened in her family in public without giving her any face, making her lose face.

Now, the pressure at home and the setbacks at work are driving Zhan Tiehua crazy. She doesn't know that there are more embarrassing troubles waiting for her in the future.
