Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

Qian Jinling said through the receiver: "Aunt Zhan? You suddenly remembered to contact me, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Zhan didn't beat around the bush with Qian Jinling and said directly: "I know you are a busy person. If it weren't for something very important, I wouldn't want to bother you.

This is what happened. Your mother brought your brother and your nephew to us and asked us for money right away. You should know our situation now, right? We don't have anything valuable left, and our pockets are cleaner than our faces.

We just went back to our hometown a few days ago, and the only house left was the one in the village. As a result, the villagers started to smash, loot and rob, and we were about to have no chance of survival. So we moved to my daughter's house, but my son-in-law kicked us out and divorced my daughter.

You said we don’t have money, now the aunt is not talking nonsense, we are just about to go out to beg for food…”

As Qian Jinling listened to what Old Lady Zhan had to say, her brows furrowed more and more, and she thought to herself, her mother was really causing trouble.

I've already told her the ins and outs of this matter. Don't even think about rescuing your second brother, and try to stay away from the Zhan family and not have any contact with them. So why is she asking them for money now?

The 5,000 yuan I just gave her is one or two years' salary for a worker. It's only been a few days. Is she going crazy because of poverty?

And his elder brother and nephew are also very worrying. If they can do something good and go out to earn some money, his mother wouldn't be so old and still want to get more money for them.

She suppressed the anger in her heart and said to Mrs. Zhan: "Where are my mother and the others now? I'll tell them to go home immediately..."

Mrs. Zhan answered truthfully, “They are staying in a hotel in Jiangyuan City right now, and we don’t know which one.

They said they would come to our house tomorrow and ask for two hundred thousand dollars. If we don’t give it to them, they would ruin my daughter’s job.

Tell me, our whole family is now living on the little salary of my third daughter. Isn't this pushing us to death?"

"How much? Two hundred thousand? This is what my mother said herself?" Qian Jinling asked in surprise.

She usually sent money to her parents, usually a few thousand at a time, and rarely more than ten thousand. I didn't expect the old lady to be so bold as to ask for two hundred thousand right away.

Mrs. Zhan immediately responded with a crying poor face: "That's right, tell me about our two families. If you want to talk about misery, our family can be said to be broken up. Even if your mother and your brother sold our entire family, it would not be worth two hundred thousand..."

Qian Jinling now gets a headache whenever she hears about selling people. Although she has not been involved in it, she is afraid that Qian Jindou's affairs will implicate herself. After all, she is Qian Jindou's biological sister.

What if it were to be discovered that she was a relative of a death row inmate who had committed a heinous crime? Would she still be able to stay in that circle?

After thinking for a moment, she responded, "Well, call me as soon as my family comes to see you tomorrow and I'll tell you about this."

Old Mrs. Zhan didn't know what Qian Jinling was going to say to her family, but it was still necessary to warn her so that she could think it over.

"Jinling, although we have never met, we can talk to each other now. This is also fate. Are you satisfied with the girl I found for you last time? How is the situation now?" Old Lady Zhan turned the topic to surrogacy.

This made Qian Jinling feel a little embarrassed for a moment. She actually didn't want anyone to mention this matter again. She planned to let the two girls give birth to the children quietly and then send them away. In the future, she would let everyone who knew about this matter keep it a secret and treat the two children as her own.

Unexpectedly, the deal with the Zhan family had already ended, and the old lady brought up the matter again. How could Qian Jinling not guess what the old lady Zhan was going to do?

She replied in a solemn tone: "Auntie, please don't ask about this matter. I hope you can help us keep this secret in the future."

Old lady Zhan readily agreed: "Of course, I have seen some great people, so I understand this principle. But, you don't plan to let your parents know about this?"

The tone of her voice was normal, but there was actually some threat in it.

Qian Jinling was also a little irritated at this time, and responded: "Just don't say anything about this. I will find a way to settle the matter between my mother and my brother. Now that our two families have lost the relationship with my second brother, it is better to break it off in the future..."

Although Qian Jinling didn't know much about the Zhan family, she could guess a thing or two from the news. Although not all of the family members were sent to prison, in Qian Jinling's opinion, they were probably not very clean.

In the past, they were involved in illegal and criminal activities and were used to making quick money without any investment. It is basically impossible for them to earn money to support their families in a down-to-earth way.

I just heard what old lady Zhan said. The whole family depends on Zhan Tiehua who works to support them. How long can this kind of life last?

It won't be long before they go back to their old ways or think of other ways to make quick money.

If his family gets involved with the Zhan family again, not to mention that asking for money now is extortion, if he makes the other party angry, they might directly send several people from the Qian family to jail.

Even if this didn't happen, if the matter of asking for money got out, once it was said that she was asking for money to buy her second brother's life, she might even have to accuse her family members of being accomplices, and she wouldn't be able to explain herself then.

So no matter what, Qian Jinling must try her best to cut off the connection between the Qian family and the Zhan family from now on. It would be best if they forget each other and pretend they never knew each other.

Now Mrs. Zhan mentioned the matter of finding a surrogate mother again. It seems that she wants to use this handle to control me.

She had to warn those two girls not to have any inappropriate thoughts.

Since both girls were confirmed to be pregnant, Qian Jinling had them move to another house with a nanny to take care of them, but she no longer allowed Xu Jinfeng to meet them.

After all, she had been through that age before, and Xu Jinfeng had abandoned his wife and daughter for her younger self. Although she was certain that Xu Jinfeng had deep feelings for her, she had to take precautions and not give other women the opportunity to take advantage of her.

Qian Jinling had specially asked someone about the family situations of the two girls, so she had some leverage over them. If they wanted to hold their heads up high in the future, they'd better be obedient.

At the moment, it seems that the two girls are very respectful to her and don't seem to have any ambitions. Who knows if they will want more as time goes by!

In another month, the gender of the fetus can be identified. I hope everything goes well and it will be a boy. That way, she can stop Xu Jinfeng's parents from thinking of fighting for their grandson's property.
