CHAPTER XXXIX
The Song family raised other people's children and didn't know it.
That's the big question.
The police questioned Xu Yuling's concubines, and the Song family had not yet been separated, and a large family of more than a dozen people lived in a courtyard, and they did not find that strangers came to the house with children.
Xu Yuling's children are also normal.
It's just that one day someone noticed that the child had changed.
And, "At that time, there was no separation of families, food and housing were all at home, and all the money was managed by the parents, I know that young people today must think it is ridiculous when they hear this, but at that time, it was like this, the family supported each other, so that they could have food and clothing, so that they would not starve to death, so ah, even if someone came, they had no money to buy." Xu Yuling They were divided when Song Shi was three years old, and it was from that time that the family's money was slowly separated, although they still lived in the same yard, but the money was in their own hands, and later, the old man simply divided the family and the land. ”
The neighbor who lived next to her at the time also confirmed the words of Xu Yuling's sister-in-law.
How many pairs of eyes are there in the village?
Not to mention that someone is added to the family, whoever has relatives is the one who has added an extra bowl of tofu to the table today, one person knows, and the whole village knows.
I can't hide it.
Don't think that country people are stupid, ignorant and easy to deceive, and no culture does not mean that they are not shrewd.
No one in the Bisheng Village found out how Song Jianhua's children had changed.
I don't know if I live under the same roof, and Xu Yuling, the mother who gets along with her son day and night, doesn't know.
Big problem.
Clearly, someone is lying.
As soon as Xu Yuling quarreled with her in-laws, she took the child back to her parents' house, and she had seven or eight kilometers of road from her mother-in-law's house to her parents' house.
And the time on this road is the only one, only her time.
Too much time has passed.
Many things, even if they were strange at the time, have been forgotten after many years.
But as long as it has been done, it will leave traces.
The police took Song Shi's photo and visited along the road, and inquired along the road.
Within a few days, I heard that a family had lost their child 30 years ago.
It's a boy.
Take out the photo of Song Shi again.
The man recognized it at once: "Yo, isn't this the son of Tian Zhigao's family?" How do you guys have a picture of him? I haven't heard that someone from his family is coming back recently, and I explained in advance that I don't have his phone number. ”
He thought he was here to collect debts.
In line with the idea that more things are better than less things, I denied it first.
The staff who came to visit glanced at each other, and there was a play.
So he asked him about the Tian family.
The fellow didn't say whether he was alive or dead at first, saying that he didn't know and was not familiar with the Tian family.
looks like he's afraid of getting into trouble.
The interviewer asked a different question: "Has the Tian family ever lost a child?" ”
Fellow: "."
"Really!"
"Why do you ask this for what? Did the kid find it? ”
His eyes lit up.
Forget about debt collection, he is definitely cooperating when talking about gossip, and he knows everything and says everything.
"Whether it's him or not, we haven't confirmed yet, let's talk about the Tian family first."
"Okay." The fellow agreed, full of pride, "This piece is the closest distance between me and the Lao Tian family, decades of old neighbors, I grew up with Tian Zhigao's father, his family has a son, at that time, he was not happy to go out to work, but his son went, very bold, and later found a city girl to marry, and within two years had a pair of twin sons, at that time, who did not envy his family good fortune." ”
"Twins? And what about later? "Did you lose both?
"This family is imported from Tianding, the old Tian family is very tall, the chickens and ducks at home are left to lay eggs, and the others are carried to the city, and they also buy eggs everywhere in the village, and they have made up more than two hundred, oh yes, the twins were born in the city hospital, and they were born directly over there for confinement, and the two old ones went to the city, and they came back in only half a month, and the two only said that they were not used to staying there, and they could not rest assured that the chickens, ducks and pigs at home were not at ease, and others asked about their sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren, and they all said yes."
"Actually, who doesn't know."
"What's the value of that little thing at home, let me take care of it before leaving, it's important to have two eldest grandchildren? Who hasn't ordered trivial things, it's not that the daughter-in-law is not easy to get along with, dislikes them, and drives them back. ”
"It is said that his in-laws are helping to take care of it, and if there are many people, won't there be more things."
"But there is something going on at home, my mother's brother is married, and my daughter-in-law is not happy, compared with my daughter, I must care more about my son's thoughts, so I went back."
"Twins are hard to bring."
"Tian Zhigao wants to go to work, his wife has two babies alone, so he can't bring it, and he doesn't want to call the old woman over to take it with him, young people, they are used to living by themselves, so they don't want someone to point fingers at home, you know, the elderly like to say, sometimes it is inevitable to talk a little more, and they will be disgusted."
"There was no way, the two decided to send a child back to their hometown."
The interviewer raised his eyebrows, "It means that one follows grandparents and the other follows parents?" Are they not afraid that children who leave their parents will not be close to their parents in the future? Is there an estrangement with your brother? ”
Who knows what the two of them think, anyway, within a few days, Lao Tian and his family came back with the child, the child was eight months old, white and pure, fleshy, and laughed when he teased. Usually, when they go out to work, they carry their children on their backs and go to the street to sell vegetables, so they put the children in baskets, and send the surplus money to the city. ”
"They're really tired."
"I feel sorry for my son's pressure, and I work hard to reduce my son's burden."
"I remember that it was very hot that day, dog days, Lao Tian was still pulling weeds in the field at noon, Tian's sister-in-law went to call him back for lunch, but he fainted from heat stroke when he walked on the road, or Lao Tian found it when he came back."
"I quickly called a neighbor to help carry it back, and found that my grandson was missing."
"The child ate rice cereal and fell asleep, and Sister-in-law Tian closed the door before going out, just a few minutes away, who would have thought that such a thing would happen."
"Sister-in-law Tian almost didn't cry to death, and the people in the village also helped to find it, but they couldn't find it, and I didn't see any strangers coming."
"When the child's parents heard that they had lost it, they hurriedly ran back, crying and making trouble, scolding Lao Tian's sister-in-law and wanting to apologize for his death, they looked for a few days, but they couldn't take leave, and there was a child to take care of, so they hurried back."
"Lao Tian and the two continue to look for it."
"I searched all the nearby towns, went to a neighboring city, and went to a certain province, and first came back a few times a year, three times, two times, and then I didn't come back for a few years, and I heard their relatives say that they died outside, and they burned directly into the river."
"Eh, young man, let me ask, is there any news of his child?"
"It's not clear now, by the way, did his family continue to look for it later?"
"What are you looking for, within two years, Tian Zhigao's wife gave birth to a daughter again, and she couldn't leave, and they were satisfied with both children and daughters. Someone deliberately asked, and they said with a bitter face that they couldn't leave, and they really didn't have time, or they didn't know how to find it in the vast sea of people, and finally directly said that they didn't have fate and hoped that the child would be fine for the rest of his life. The fellow pouted as he spoke, obviously very dissatisfied with the actions of Tian Zhigao and his family.
