Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

The dinner prepared by Jiang Weidong's mother-in-law and her family for Sun Aimin was very sumptuous, with steamed fish, boiled shrimp, braised pork and other dishes, as well as several home-cooked dishes. There were also cooked dishes such as pig head, pig ears, spiced pork liver, and smoked chicken.

Ordinary people can't bear to eat like this every day, and many families only prepare such a table during the New Year and other festivals.

For ordinary people today, this table of food can be regarded as the highest honor for entertaining distinguished guests.

The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests. At almost eight o'clock, Sun Aimin said goodbye, left the community, and took a taxi to Yuan Heng's home.

Originally, Jiang Weidong was going to take Sun Aimin there on his father-in-law's motorcycle, but Sun Aimin disagreed, saying it was too late and it would be a waste of time for Jiang Weidong to make two trips back and forth.

Knowing that Sun Aimin was coming over, sister-in-law Yu Lili had already cleaned up the room in advance, changed the bed sheets, got a clean towel blanket, and let him live in nephew Yuan Siyi's room.

It is now August and senior high school students start school early. Yuan Siyi is one of them who has entered the countdown stage for the college entrance examination.

Yuan Siyi chose to live on campus because his home was not close to the school. In his words, going home every day delayed his exams.

Currently in school, Yuan Siyi has long been ranked first in the grade, and Yuan Heng and his wife are not too worried about his studies.

Yuan Sihan is now a fifth-grade student and is very self-motivated in her studies. Colleagues around her envy them for having two such worry-free children.

Sun Aimin arrived downstairs at Yuan Heng's house and went upstairs directly carrying the light handbag he had brought with him.

Yu Lili had already washed a plate of grapes and cut a plate of watermelon. The glass kettle was filled with herbal tea that she had just brewed during the day.

Although Yuan Jie and Yuan Heng's families often contact each other by phone, they have not seen each other for almost a year.

The main reason was that too many things had happened in the past year, and the two families lived far apart. Transportation was inconvenient, and it took several hours to get to Jiangjin by train, whether from the former Qingyang City or the current Mafang City.

There are children at home and the adults are busy with work, so they can't always get away.

Yuan Sihan is on vacation at home now. Her parents go out to work during the day, leaving Yuan Sihan alone at home.

Her grandmother's home is in a county town under Jiangjin City. She went there to live for more than ten days during the summer vacation. After she had enough of the county town, she came back. Usually, the couple went to work and came back to cook her a meal at noon.

In fact, many children from dual-income families now go through this process.

If Yuan Sihan feels like it, she will take the initiative to prepare lunch for her parents so that they can have ready-made food when they come back.

Hearing the knock on the door, Yu Lili hurried to open it and saw Sun Aimin, who looked exhausted, standing outside.

"Ai Min, come in quickly. You must be exhausted these two days." Yu Lili took the bag from Sun Ai Min's hand with a smile and let him in.

After Sun Aimin entered the door, he responded, "It's OK, but it was a bit troublesome on the way."

He walked in, changed into slippers, walked to the sofa and sat down. He turned on the electric fan and finally felt a little cool. He poured himself a cup of herbal tea and drank it.

The weather is really too hot now, and it is still very stuffy at night.

Liang Sihan, who was reading an extracurricular book in the room, heard the noise and came out of the room. When he saw Sun Aimin, he greeted him, "Uncle-in-law, long time no see. Do you want to stay at our house for a few more days this time?"

Sun Aimin replied: "Maybe I have to stay a few more days. Come, Sihan, your aunt asked me to bring you a gift..."

He opened the handbag and took out two wrapped clothes and handed them over: "Your aunt bought you a new dress while shopping. Do you like it?"

Yuan Sihan grew rapidly this year, from 1.5 meters to 1.58 meters, and is almost as tall as Yuan Jie.

Yuan Jie was worried that the clothes were too small to wear, so she bought a size larger.

Yuan Sihan happily took the skirt and said, "Thank you, uncle-in-law. Please also thank my aunt for me. She has the best taste. The clothes are better than the ones my mom bought for me!"

Yu Lili and Yuan Heng couldn't help laughing. Yu Lili rolled her eyes at her and said angrily, "If you think the clothes I bought are not good-looking, then ask your dad to buy them for you in the future..."

Yuan Sihan begged for mercy: "Mom, I was just joking, don't take it seriously. The last time my dad bought me that dress, my classmates laughed at me for several months..."

The family chatted and laughed for a while, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Yu Lili also sat down on the sofa and asked Sun Aimin: "Are your parents in good health recently?"

Sun Aimin said, "It's fine, brother and sister-in-law, you don't have to worry. When I'm done with my work here, I'll bring my parents back to my hometown."

Yuan Heng said, "Just do your thing. Mom and Dad are in good health now and are willing to help you. When we have time, we will go to see them. Tell them when we go back not to worry about home. The grandchildren are all grown up and there is nothing for them to worry about."

Sun Aimin nodded in response. Yuan Heng asked Sun Aimin about what happened in the past two days, and Sun Aimin told them everything.

"What are your plans next?" Yuan Heng asked again.

Sun Aimin responded, "I will stay here for the next two days and meet with the three families to learn about their situation. We still have to find the kidnapped children first, and then we can talk about other things."

He paused, and then continued, "I have already contacted the media about this matter. I contacted a very influential media outlet through Professor Zhou's connections. When public opinion here rises, they won't be able to suppress it easily."

The reason why he made such preparations in advance was that he was unsure. They were powerless now, and if they wanted to gain the upper hand, they had to make good use of public opinion tools.

As for the information about the families that Yuan Jie gave her, Yuan Jie only based it on her general impression and felt that the character of these families was pretty good.

But they had not personally met these people and could not fully trust them.

If someone were to turn a blind eye to personal gain and choose to settle the matter privately with the hospital, all their efforts would be wasted.

Now, he also needs to give these people some reassurance, letting them know that it is only a matter of time before this matter ferments.

After the official media reports the case, their children will be able to return to their families with a legitimate reason, and they can also get a considerable amount of compensation from the hospital and the people involved in the case.

If you choose to settle the matter privately, given the way those demons in white act, they might destroy the evidence after taking the money, and you might even sue them for extortion. Not only will you have to return the money intact, you might also face jail time.

Sun Aimin wanted to explain all the twists and turns to those people to prevent them from hindering the fermentation of public opinion.
