Chapter 1202 Child abduction?
There was a great deal of jubilation in the courtyard of Huajie, with red silk hanging at the gate to celebrate Ma Siyi's admission into Peking University and Tsinghua University.
At first, Grandma Ma didn't plan to be so ostentatious, but parents like Xie Tiancheng agreed that if they didn't celebrate if their child was admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University, it would be even more embarrassing for Xie Wang and them to celebrate if they were admitted to a second-tier university.
As a result, every day neighbors would bring their people to visit the red silk at the gate of the courtyard, saying that they wanted to be influenced by Ma Siyi's literary style. Even the small courtyard became a tourist attraction.
Li Yan was also very happy. Although her daughter only got into a junior college, it was a diploma after all, which was better than dropping out of high school.
However, Li Yan's good mood only lasted less than two days, and her husband Xia Maotian told her a "good news"
"Our mother is coming to attend Dahuazi's graduation banquet."
Li Yan's face fell instantly: "Why is she here?"
Xia Maotian frowned: "How can you say that? No matter what, Dahuazi is still my mother's granddaughter. It's not right for her granddaughter to attend her graduation party."
Li Yan curled her lips and complained to her daughter after Xia Maotian left: "Just wait and see, your grandma's visit this time is definitely not just to attend the graduation banquet."
As expected, what he said came true. Old Mrs. Xia did not come alone. She brought not only Xia Maotian's sister, but also a little boy.
At first everyone thought the little boy was cute and gave him a lot of snacks.
As a result, Xia Fenghua learned a shocking news from the little boy: his grandmother wanted to adopt the boy as her parents' son.
"So, you will be Dahuazi's younger brother in the future?" Shao Xingchi blurted out subconsciously.
Xia Fenghua was so angry that she grabbed his arm and twisted it: "Your brother, your whole family's brother!"
"I don't want a younger brother. My parents would never agree to that."
After saying this, she rushed home angrily. She knew that she had to stand with her mother at this moment.
As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I heard a heated argument coming from inside.
Li Yan pointed at Xia Maotian and said, "If you dare to agree to this, I will divorce you immediately!"
Hearing this, Old Lady Xia sneered and said, "Divorce if you want. I will find another one for Mao Tian. No matter what, the Xia family must not be extinct in this generation."
Xia Maotian's sister also supported her mother: "That's right, three-legged frogs are hard to find, but there are plenty of big, living people with two legs. I will find a young and beautiful one for my brother."
Just when the three of them were arguing fiercely and were about to fight.
A police car stopped at the gate of the courtyard.
"Who reported the case?"
"Officer Zhou, what a coincidence, it's you again. We were the ones who reported the case."
Seeing that it was an old acquaintance, Qin Hao took the little boy over directly.
Officer Zhou pointed to the red silk at the gate and said, "Celebrate Ma Siyi's admission to Peking University and Tsinghua University. Wow, I didn't realize that the girl is such a good student. It's amazing."
Ma Siyi smiled and said, "He was also admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University."
"Great! Next time I'll bring my son here to get some of your influence."
After chatting, Officer Zhou's face turned serious: "You are the ones who called the police to report that someone is abducting children here?"
"Yes, Officer Zhou, he was the one who was abducted." Qin Hao brought the little boy to Officer Zhou.
The little boy looked at the police uniform on Officer Zhou and rushed over immediately: "Uncle police, please save me. I was kidnapped by bad guys. My father's name is Zhang Liangyong. I don't know where my home is..."
Officer Zhou and the two other policemen who came with him immediately squatted down, comforted the little boy, and asked, "Which bad guy kidnapped you?"
"Uncle police, they are inside." The little boy pointed to the yard.
"An old woman, very skinny, and obviously not a good person, and another one who is a little younger. They are in the same group."
Qin Hao added on the side.
Officer Zhou asked the little boy: "Is that so?"
"Well, that's them."
In the courtyard, Old Lady Xia was still arguing with Li Yan. They were arguing fiercely when two policemen rushed over, pinned her down on the spot without saying a word, and gave her a pair of silver bracelets.
Xia Fenghua's aunt was not spared either, and another policeman quickly subdued her.
Suddenly, everyone in the courtyard was stunned, even Li Yan and Xia Fenghua were dumbfounded, not understanding what was going on.
Officer Zhou said coldly: "You two are suspected of child trafficking, come with us."
"Child trafficking? Police comrade, that's ridiculous. We are all honest people. How could we possibly traffic in children?" Old Mrs. Xia cried out in injustice.
Xia Maotian also hurriedly stopped the police: "Yes, police comrade, is there a misunderstanding here?"
Officer Zhou said coldly: "It's a misunderstanding. They know what happened to the little boy at the door. Get out of the way quickly, or I will sue you for obstructing public service."
Xia Maotian was still hesitating, Qin Hao winked at Xia Fenghua, and the two of them pulled him away from the left and right.
"Uncle Xia, you have to trust the police. They will not wrongly accuse a good person, and they will not let a bad person go."
Officer Zhou escorted Old Lady Xia out of the yard, and only then did Old Lady Xia come to her senses.
"Comrade police, you are wrong. We picked up this child."
Officer Zhou sneered: "I've heard of people picking up money, but can children pick up money?"
Then, she turned to the little boy and said, "Did this old lady ask you to be her grandson?"
"Yes, she did, and she also said that if I didn't obey, she wouldn't give me any food."
Old Mrs. Xia was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about, you damn kid? I'm going to beat you to death..."
Officer Zhou knocked her down directly: "You dare to threaten the victim in front of the police, too arrogant, Xiao Li, take them both away."
Mrs. Xia was completely panicked now: "Comrade police, we really didn't abduct children. The child's father agreed to give him to our family for adoption."
Officer Zhou sneered, "Adoption? Do you have legal adoption procedures? They gave their son to your family without any benefit? This is child trafficking."
Seeing the police convict her, Mrs. Xia collapsed to the ground and begged her son for help like a dead dog: "Son, please save me."
Xia Maotian was about to step forward, but was stopped by Qin Hao: "Uncle Xia, the innocent will be innocent and the turbid will be turbid. The police will definitely get to the bottom of this matter. If you go over now, you will be obstructing law enforcement and you will go to jail."
When Xia Fenghua heard this, she immediately hugged her father's arm tightly.
After the two policemen stuffed Old Lady Xia and her daughter into the police car, Officer Zhou said to Qin Hao and the others, "You are all eyewitnesses. Come with us to the police station and make a statement."
Xia Maotian wanted to tell Qin Hao something, but Officer Zhou warned him, "If you teach them to give false testimony, not only will you go to jail, but they will also be punished. They might not even be able to go to college."
Now Xie Tiancheng, Shao Bingyi and Zhou Yanlin no longer cared about Xia Maotian's face and hurriedly gave him instructions.
"Tell the police everything you saw and heard."
Xia Maotian could only watch his mother and sister being taken away by the police car.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"I'll go to the police station and wait for news."
Looking at her husband's back, Li Yan, who had tears in her eyes just now, suddenly laughed out loud.
Lucy Liu looked puzzled: "Yanzi, are you okay?"
Li Yan wiped away the tears from her laughter and said, "It's okay, I'm fine. The old woman is reaping what she has sown. She bullied me for so many years and even wanted me to raise someone else's child for her. She deserves it. It would be better if she was sentenced to a few years in prison!"
Shao Bingyi reminded: "But if your mother-in-law is sentenced, your Dahuazi will not be able to pass the political review when he takes the civil service exam in the future."
Li Yan looked at her daughter and said, "She had a hard time getting into a college, how can she take the civil service exam? Unless the examiners mark the papers with their eyes closed."
Xia Fenghua was speechless. How could a mother speak ill of her daughter like this?
On the other side, Qin Hao and Ma Siyi came out of the police station after taking their statements, and Xia Maotian asked hurriedly.
"Have you seen my mother?"
"No, it seems they were taken to the interrogation room."
Xia Maotian's eyes darkened: "Interrogation room?"
Xie Wanghe added: "It's a place dedicated to interrogating criminals."
Qin Hao laughed a lot. Xie Wanghe had a very poisonous tongue.
"So what did you say when you went in?" Xia Maotian asked.
"It's just telling us everything that the child who was to be adopted as your son told us."
Xia Maotian felt dizzy and sat down on the ground: "Oh my god, you are so confused."
"Uncle Xia, you'd better come back with us. I guess we must go back to your hometown to investigate and collect evidence for this case. It will probably take more than a day or two to complete it." Qin Hao helped Xia Maotian up.
Xia Maotian almost fell down again. "So, my mom and the others will have to stay in there for several days?"
"Uncle Xia is fine. The detention center is not a prison and the environment is still good." Qin Hao comforted him.
Xia Maotian: ...
That night, Xia Maotian took a bus home to ask the boy's family to rescue his mother and sister. He was gone for several days, and during these days, Grandma Xia and the others were detained in the detention center.
Although Li Yan was reluctant, she couldn't just stand by and watch, so she had to go with them.
Only when she got there did she understand why Old Lady Xia wanted to adopt a little boy for them.
"Hmph, I wouldn't have gone if I had known. This old woman is so hateful." Li Yan was so angry after returning to the courtyard that she couldn't help but complain to a few of her close friends in the yard.
"what happened?"
Li Yan was so angry that her face turned red: "This old woman actually didn't intend for us to raise the child at all. She knew I would never agree."
"Maotian's hometown is going to be demolished and the land is being expropriated. She wants to use this to make Maotian give up the compensation for the demolition."
Lucy Liu and Liang Haihong didn't know what to say for a moment.
"That's not right. Isn't Old Lady Xia the one who favors boys over girls? Why didn't she leave the demolition compensation to her son, but to her daughter instead?" Grandma Ma asked in confusion.
Li Yan was also stunned when she heard this. Yes, this is not in line with the old lady's usual style.
Xia Fenghua was also very confused. In her impression, her grandmother was quite good to her father. Why did she plot against her father this time when the demolition was such a huge benefit?
Xie Wanghe analyzed: "Is it because your grandmother is afraid that the demolition compensation will be divided up by your mother?"
"It shouldn't be. If that's the case, she could have just kept my dad from telling my mom. There's no need to be so scheming and bring such a child here." Xia Fenghua shook her head.
Qin Hao suddenly had an idea: "Is it possible that Uncle Xia is not her biological son?"
Xia Fenghua and others widened their eyes.
"Haozi, isn't your assumption too far-fetched?"
"That's right, Uncle Xia is not her grandmother's biological son, so why is her grandmother so nice to Uncle Xia?"
Qin Hao tapped the bamboo bed with his fingers: "Once other possibilities are ruled out, the most impossible thing may be the truth."
"Dahuazi, let me ask you a question. How does your grandmother treat your aunt?"
Xia Fenghua thought for a moment and said, "It's OK. At least what I saw was pretty good."
"If your grandmother really favors boys over girls, would she be so nice to your aunt?" Qin Hao continued to ask.
Xia Fenghua, Xie Wanghe and the others all shook their heads subconsciously.
"If I'm guessing correctly, your grandmother doesn't favor boys over girls at all. She simply doesn't have any feelings for your family. She wouldn't like you regardless of whether you're a boy or a girl."
Xia Fenghua felt that her mind was in a mess: "Impossible? I heard from my mother that when I was a child, my grandmother stopped taking care of me during my confinement after she saw that I was a girl."
"Is there a possibility that she was just pretending? She had no intention of taking care of your mother during her confinement. She just had to go and see her because of the situation. If your mother had given birth to a boy, she might have found another excuse. But your mother happened to give birth to a girl, which was exactly what she wanted. She didn't even need to find an excuse."
After listening to Qin Hao's analysis, Xia Fenghua still found it hard to accept.
"You said my dad is not my grandma's biological son, then where did my dad come from?"
"Adoption. There are many ways to get your father to give up the demolition compensation. Why did your grandmother think of this method? Did she have a similar experience before, so this was her first reaction?"
Xie Wanghe opened his mouth wide: "Haozi is indeed a novelist. According to what you said, Dahuazi's family is enough to make a TV series. This is too bizarre."
"You might as well think about it. Apart from this possibility, what else could make Old Lady Xia, who favors sons over daughters, take the demolition compensation from her son and give it to her daughter?"
"Hey, Dahuazi, where are you going?"
Xia Fenghua went downstairs without looking back, and then the sound of glass breaking was heard from the Xia family.
According to Dahuazi, Xia Maotian went to the police station that night and when he came back he was in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
A week later, Old Lady Xia and the others were released. This time, Xia Maotian did not entertain them at his home, nor did he even go to the train station to see them off.
After the farce at the Xia family, the day for Qin Hao and his friends to report to university was getting closer and closer. Several housewives were busy preparing luggage for their children, and each of them wished they could move their entire family there.
On the contrary, Qin Hao and his friends had nothing to do. They either stayed in Internet cafes or wandered around the flower streets all day. When they were really bored, they would go for a walk in the city.
That day, when Ma Siyi and Xia Fenghua came back from the city, they excitedly showed off to Xie Wanghe.
“Guess who we met today?”
"classmate?"
"Hehe, you would never guess it, but when we were shopping, we were spotted by a modeling agency and they invited us to shoot a commercial."
