Chapter 13: Lumps of Wood
Chen Dagang and Li Cuiyan looked embarrassed and nodded hurriedly.
"I know you must be very strange when you look at what our names are, why Hong Xinli and none of us have the same surname."
Chen Dagang was a little calmer than Li Cuiyan, and in the face of such a question, he hurriedly explained: "We have never had a child at the beginning, and we have been seeking medical advice for many years, but there is no way.
It just so happens that there is a relative in the family, the family is poor, and it is somewhat patriarchal, and after the second child gave birth to a son, the eldest daughter is not very popular at home.
The two of us simply discussed with the relatives and brought the child to us to raise, even if it was passed on to us.
But the situation of our two families at that time did not meet the adoption regulations, so it was difficult for the child to move over, so we didn't let her move her household registration and change her name and surname.
"This! This is an electronic photo album that my child helped me get before, and it contains the photos of us taking her from childhood to adulthood, all of which are old photos from the past, and she helped us become electronic, stored on the Internet, and we can see it whenever we want." Li Cuiyan also came back to her senses at this time, hurriedly took out her mobile phone, opened the electronic photo album, and handed it over to Ning Shuyi and them to see.
There are many photos in the electronic album, all of which are group photos of the couple and a girl, the difference is that the background of the photo is different, and the girl in the photo is getting bigger little by little, from immature age to girl to a young girl, it is very clear from the appearance that it is Hong Xinli.
And the couple in the photo is also gradually aging, it is Chen Dagang and Li Cuiyan.
For the sake of insurance, Ning Shuyi still checked from the household registration, and all she could find was Hong Xinli's collective household registration when she was in high school twenty years ago, and she couldn't find the earlier records.
The same is true for Chen Dagang and his wife, whose household registration migration records can only be traced back to 20 years ago, and they settled in the city where Hong Xinli High School is located.
Ning Shuyi calculated the time, and it seems that the realization of the household registration system was gradually implemented about 20 years ago, so in the early stage of the implementation of the network, there are still many imperfections, and many records will have certain omissions in the process of entry.
This was also gradually corrected and improved in the following ten or twenty years.
Before the implementation of the Internet, it is possible to find the most original file only in the jurisdiction where the household registration is located.
At present, it can only be determined from the existing records that the timeline of Chen Dagang and Li Cuiyan's household registration migration is basically synchronized with Hong Xinli, and even Hong Xinli was admitted to university and moved her household registration from the collective household registration of high school to the collective household registration of the university.
"Did Hong Xinli's biological parents have anything to do with her?" Ning Shuyi asked.
Chen Dagang shook his head: "No, no! It's as if they didn't have this daughter! Over the years, there has never been any contact, let alone contact!
Hong Xinli is the daughter of the two of us, and she has nothing to do with others!"
Zhai Yujiang, who had been silent for a long time, also nodded slowly: "Since Hong Xinli and I got married, I haven't heard that her biological parents have any contact with her, and the only people who usually have contact with our family are her parents and the two of them."
Chen Dagang and Li Cuiyan nodded busily.
Although this kind of "adoptive" relationship without any formal formalities is not legally recognized, since Hong Xinli's de facto caregivers before she grew up were Chen Dagang and his wife, and her adult spouse Zhai Yujiang is also there, at least everyone who can understand her life is there.
As for Hong Xinli's biological parents, they have not been in contact for many years which means that they do not know anything about Hong Xinli's recent situation, and the subsequent issues involving the division and inheritance of her estate have nothing to do with the investigation of the case, so naturally they are not within the scope of Ning Shuyi's consideration.
"Then now that Hong Xinli's family is all here, let's go and go through the formalities first." Ning Shuyi looked at the three people in front of him.
Huo Yan also stood up, waiting for someone to come with him
。
Zhai Yujiang stood up silently, and Chen Dagang also stood up together.
"I'll go with you, that's my daughter, I'm her father!" He didn't even look at Zhai Yujiang, and said to Huo Yan, "I am my daughter's relative, and my husband is just an outsider who has been together for a few years after all!" I don't feel comfortable letting him handle it!"
Zhai Yujiang stood there with his eyelids down, and he didn't seem to have any superfluous reaction to this very unkind wording.
"There is no legal adoption procedure between you and Hong Xinli, legally speaking, you are an outsider." Huo Yan glanced at Chen Dagang and said in a light tone.
Chen Dagang's face turned a little red, obviously he felt that this was harsh, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only nod his head stupidly and pointed at Zhai Yujiang: "That's okay, he will sign it, but I will supervise him throughout the whole process!"
Huo Yan didn't make any comments on this, and walked to the door of the office silently, and Zhai Yujiang followed without saying a word.
Chen Dagang had nowhere to go out when he had a fire, so he could only follow along stupidly, and the three of them left the office to go through the formalities.
"Did Hong Xinli have any problems with the relationship between Zhai Yujiang and Zhai Yujiang before her death?" Ning Shuyi asked, "Why do you two seem to be so worried about Zhai Yujiang?"
"Not really, there's nothing bad about the relationship between the two of them." Li Cuiyan wiped her tears, the bad news of the sudden loss of her beloved daughter made this woman look a lot haggard all of a sudden, and the whole person sat on the chair with a depressed expression, "Even you have seen his wrecked appearance.
I don't know what my daughter fell in love with him in the first place, there are so many better young men than him, picking left and right, as if picking and looking for such a wooden lump!
That's it, my daughter is obviously very aggrieved, let's not say anything about whether to marry or not, at least he doesn't know how many backs and goings he has left!
But her in-laws seemed to think that their son was a good baby, and they picked their noses and eyes at our daughter, and they didn't let my daughter get married for so many years and enjoy any blessings!
My daughter is so good, but God doesn't open her eyes!
Such a good child in our family encountered this kind of thing in a good manner, and the wooden lump in their family was nothing! In another year and a half, their family happily married a little goblin again, and it made my poor grandson miserable!
How can this make me not panic when I look at it!"
