The Song family is raising other people's children without knowing it.
That's the big problem.
The police interviewed several of Xu Yuling's sisters-in-law. At that time, the Song family had not been separated. More than a dozen people in the family lived in the same yard. No strangers came to the house with children in their arms.
Xu Yuling’s children are also very normal.
But suddenly one day someone discovered that the child had changed.
Moreover, “There was no separation of families at that time, food and accommodation were all in the same family, and all the money was managed by the parents. I know that young people today must find it ridiculous when they hear this, but it was always like this at that time. Only with support can they have enough food and clothing to avoid starving to death, so even if someone comes, they don't have the money to buy. Xu Yuling and the others were separated when Song Shi was three years old, and from that time on, The family's money was gradually separated, and although they still lived in the same courtyard, everyone had their own money. Later, the old man simply divided the family and the land."
Neighbors who lived nearby at the time also confirmed what Xu Yuling's mother-in-law said.
How many pairs of eyes are there in the village?
Not to mention the addition of someone to the family, if a relative comes to the family, that family has an extra bowl of tofu on the table today. If one person knows about it, the whole village will know about it.
Can't hide it.
Don't think that country people are stupid, ignorant and easy to deceive. Just because they are uneducated doesn't mean they are not smart.
No one in the village found out how Song Jianhua's children had been changed.
No one who lives under the same roof knows about it, not even Xu Yuling, the biological mother who lives with her son day and night.
The problem is huge.
Clearly, someone is lying.
As soon as Xu Yuling quarreled with her husband's family, she carried her child back to her parents' home. It was a full seven or eight kilometers from her husband's home to her parents' home. At that time, the road was not easy to walk, and she had a child with her, so it would take half a day to get there.
And the time on this road was the only time she had alone.
Too much time has passed.
Many things, even if they seemed strange at the time, have been forgotten after many years.
But as long as it is done, it will leave traces.
The police walked along the road with Song Shi's photos and asked questions along the way.
Within a few days, I found out that a family had lost a child thirty years ago.
It's a boy.
Then take out Song Shi's photo.
The man recognized it at once: "Hey, isn't this the son of Tian Zhigao's family? How do you have his photo? I haven't heard that anyone from his family will come back recently. Let me explain in advance that I don't have his phone number. ah."
He thought he was here to collect debts.
Based on the idea that more is worse than less, I will deny it first and then talk about it.
The staff who came to visit looked at each other in amusement.
Then he asked him about the Tian family.
The fellow didn't say whether he was alive or dead at first, saying he didn't know and was not familiar with the Tian family.
He looked like he was afraid of getting into trouble.
The interviewer changed the question: "Has the Tian family ever lost a child?"
Fellow: "."
"It really does!"
"Why are you asking this? Did the child find it?"
His eyes sparkled.
Forget it when it comes to collecting debts, he is absolutely cooperative when it comes to gossiping and talks about everything he knows.
"We haven't confirmed whether it's him or not. Please tell me what happened in the Tian family first."
"Okay." The fellow villager agreed with pride, "This is the closest place to me and Lao Tian's family, we have been neighbors for decades. Tian Zhigao's father and I grew up together, and his family is A son, at that time, it was not popular to work outside, but his son went there and was very courageous. Later, he married a girl from the city and gave birth to a pair of twin sons within two years. At that time, who didn’t I envy his family’s good fortune.”
"Twins? What happened next?" Are both lost?
"This family has a new baby. The old couple of Lao Tian's family are so rich that they kept the chickens and ducks at home to lay eggs and took the rest to the city. They also bought eggs everywhere in the village and collected more than two hundred eggs. Oh. By the way, the twins were born in a hospital in the city. They sat there for the confinement period right after they were born. The two elders went to the city, but they came back only half a month later. They just said they couldn't stay there. They are used to it, and they can’t worry about the chickens, ducks, and pigs at home. When people ask about their sons, daughters-in-law, and grandsons, they all say yes.”
"Actually, no one knows yet."
"What's the value of those things at home? You asked me to take care of them before you left. Is it important to have two grandsons? Who hasn't done trivial matters? It's not that the daughter-in-law is not easy to get along with, dislikes them, and drives them back. of."
"It's said that his in-laws are helping to take care of him. If there are more people, wouldn't there be more things to do?"
"But there is something going on at home. My brother-in-law is getting married, and my daughter-in-law is not happy either. She must care more about her son's thoughts than her daughter, so I went back."
"Twins are not easy to take care of."
"Tian Zhigao has to go to work. His wife can't take care of two children by herself, and he doesn't want to call the old woman over to take care of them with him. Young people are used to living by themselves, so they don't want anyone to tell them what to do at home. So do you. You know, old people like to talk, and sometimes if they talk too much, they will be disliked."
"There is no other way, the two decided to send a child back to their hometown to take care of them."
The interviewer raised an eyebrow, "You mean one follows the grandparents, and the other follows the parents? Are they not afraid that children who leave their parents will lose contact with their parents in the future? Are there any barriers between them and their brothers?"
"Who knows what the two of them were thinking. Anyway, within a few days, Lao Tian and his wife came back with their child in their arms. The child was eight months old, white and fleshy, and laughed whenever he was teased. Usually Lao Tian When they go out to work, they carry their children on their backs. When they go to sell vegetables on the street, they put their children in baskets. If they make any extra money, they send it to the city."
"They are really tired."
"I feel sorry for my son who is under a lot of pressure, and I work even harder to reduce the burden on my son."
"I remember it was very hot that day. It was the dog days of summer. Lao Tian was still pulling weeds in the field at noon. Sister-in-law Tian went to call him back for lunch. As a result, he fainted from heatstroke on the road. This was discovered when Lao Tian came back."
"I quickly called my neighbors to help carry him back, and then I found that my grandson was missing."
"The child ate rice cereal and fell asleep. Sister-in-law Tian closed the door before going out. It was only a few minutes away. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen."
"Sister-in-law Tian almost cried to death. People in the village also helped to look for her, but she couldn't be found and no strangers came."
"When the child's parents heard that they were missing, they hurried back, crying and fussing, and scolding Lao Tian's sister-in-law to the point where she wanted to die to apologize. They searched for a few days, but they couldn't get leave, and they still had a child to take care of, so they hurried back. ”
"Lao Tian and I, keep looking."
"We searched all the nearby towns, then went to neighboring cities, and then to a certain province. At first, we would come back several times a year, three times, or twice. Then we didn't come back for several years. I heard from their relatives. , he died outside and was burned directly into the river."
"Hey, young man, let me ask, is there any news about his child?"
"This is still unclear. By the way, did he continue to search for his family later?"
"What are you looking for? Two years later, Tian Zhigao's wife gave birth to a daughter. She can't leave anymore. They have both children. They are satisfied. Someone asked deliberately, but they said with a grimace that they couldn't leave and they didn't have time. , or you just don’t know how to find it in the vast sea of people, and in the end you just say that you have no luck, and hope that the child will be fine for the rest of his life." The fellow said while curling his lips, obviously very dissatisfied with the actions of Tian Zhigao and his wife.
