Cheng Jinnian’s purpose was too clear and his words were very straightforward.

If the old lady still didn't understand what he meant at this moment, she must be a fool.

It was precisely because she understood that her expression became even uglier.

The old lady had a pale face. She clearly knew the child, but she turned her head away and spoke in an attempt to cover up her mistake.

"No children. We don't have any children here."

"You are mistaken. You must be mistaken."

The old lady's eyes were moving around and she looked obviously very anxious.

After the old lady finished speaking, she opened the door and walked into the house. She was very anxious when she went in. Cheng Jinnian still saw that the house was very small and the layout inside was very simple.

It’s obvious that this family doesn’t belong to a wealthy family. Why would such a family buy a child?

The more Cheng Jinnian thought about it, the more confused he became. There were too many suspicious points, and the more he thought about it, the more his head hurt.

Even after being turned away, Cheng Jinnian refused to leave and insisted on waiting here.

Jiang Wan, who had been standing aside, took the initiative to step forward.

When Cheng Jinnian saw her, he immediately said with some grievance.

"Wanwan, you saw it too. I really tried my best, but why are they unwilling to tell me the truth?"

"Maybe it's because you're not fierce enough?"

"They all seem to know a lot, but they are too embarrassed to talk about it."

"So the child's current condition is not very good after all, and this is the real reason why they are panicking."

"We can tell them we don't mind, we don't blame them, we just want to get our children back."

"I believe that after we have expressed such thoughts, they should be willing to open their hearts and minds."

Jiang Wan's words touched Cheng Jinnian's heart, and he suddenly understood.

"I understand now. It turns out that they are unwilling to tell the truth because they have some concerns."

"We just need to dispel their concerns so that we can get the results we want."

Jiang Wan nodded, still with a worried look on his face.

"Right, that is it."

Next, Cheng Jinnian continued to guard the door. After an hour, the old lady finally couldn't help but go out.

She opened the door a little, and when she saw Cheng Jinnian was still there, she immediately wanted to close the door.

Cheng Jinnian quickly put his foot into the crack of the door, then pried it open with both hands.

"Auntie, listen to me. I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm just here to find out the whereabouts of this child."

"And no matter what the child's current situation is, I will never vent my anger on you."

"Can you please have mercy on me and tell me the whereabouts of the child?"

While pulling the door, Cheng Jinnian played the emotional card with the old lady through the crack.

The old lady is old and definitely cannot match him in strength.

And after hearing his considerate words, the expression on her face indeed relaxed a little.

"Are you serious? You just want to know the whereabouts of the child, and you are not here to cause trouble?"

"It's true, Auntie, every word I said is true, please believe me!"

Cheng Jinnian was so excited that he almost swore to the sky that the old lady was finally not so resistant to him.

She let go of her hand and Cheng Jinnian opened the door immediately.

"In that case, come in and talk. You must remember what you said and never take your anger out on us."

"Otherwise, I would rather keep these words to myself for the rest of my life than tell you!"

The old lady said this with a serious look, and Cheng Jinnian nodded quickly to show that he understood.

"Don't worry, I won't blame you no matter what you do."

"I only ask you to give me some useful information after we've been separated for so many years."

"As long as I can find the child successfully, you can ask me to do anything."

The old lady nodded, and the person who had just closed the door suddenly invited people in.

"Come in if you have anything to say. It's not good for you to stand at the door like this. Someone might overhear you."

"You don't live here, and what happens in the future has nothing to do with you. But our family will live here in the future, and we can't ruin our reputation because of this."

What the old lady said made sense, and Cheng Jinnian thought that as a grown man, there was nothing to be afraid of even if a fight broke out.

Cheng Jinnian followed the old lady into the house, and after entering, he found that the house was more narrow than he had imagined.

The house is about a dozen square meters and is divided into two floors.

The lower floor is equivalent to the living room, filled with various sundries and a bed.

There is a simple kitchen on the lower floor, but there is no toilet or bathroom. I wonder how they usually solve the problem?

Cheng Jinnian had too many doubts in his mind, but these questions were not important to him.

The old lady pulled a small stool from under the bed for him to sit on.

"Let's do it. Our house is too small to accommodate our feet."

"It doesn't matter. As long as we know the whereabouts of the child, we can talk about it anywhere."

Cheng Jinnian nodded to show his understanding, and the old lady's expression eased a little.

"We did buy the child you mentioned a few years ago."

"My grandson was abducted by human traffickers, and my daughter-in-law was injured when she gave birth to my grandson. She had lost her fertility by then."

"The only child is gone, everyone is very unhappy, everyone's face is gloomy."

"Then we thought about just buying a child and raising him as our own."

"We searched everywhere and finally found the seller and bought a skinny and timid boy."

"When the boy first arrived, he looked a little pale and was often prone to illness."

"We didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking he just got sick accidentally."

"We provide him with good food and drink, and don't require him to do any housework. We just hope he can get better soon."

"But later we found that no matter how carefully we took care of the child, his health did not improve."

"He is very prone to catching colds and fevers, and every time he gets sick it's very serious."

"We didn't have much money at home, and we didn't think of taking him to the hospital at first. But then one time he had a fever of 42 degrees and was convulsing all over. He was so seriously ill that we had no choice but to send him to the hospital."

"After arriving at the hospital and undergoing a thorough examination by the doctor, it was discovered that he was missing a kidney, and that the area where the kidney was missing had become infected, which was why he kept getting sick."

"We were very sad when we heard the news, and we were all at a loss."

"When we were discussing whether to sell the house to pay for his medical treatment or send him away, he might have heard our conversation and quietly ran away one night."
