Chapter 36 The Truth
The girl was smiling, wearing a pure white dress and leather shoes with small flowers, looking like a young lady from the Republic of China.
Standing in front of the man, they seemed like a perfect match made in heaven.
"What are you doing..." Shen Jiaojiao covered her mouth. She had an unsure thought in her mind.
The girl in front of her is her real sister-in-law.
Sure enough, the girl came forward and said to her with a smile: "Hello, my name is Li Luo, the girl who was mistakenly taken away with Lin Ge."
"Xiao Song, come out quickly and see who's here!" Shen Jiaojiao shouted into the house.
After a while, a young man about twenty years old came out of the mud house. There was charcoal on his face, but it did not affect his handsome appearance at all.
Even if he is just wearing an old man's shirt and grey shorts, you can see the lazy feeling on him.
Lin Song looks 70% similar to Li Luo, and they look like siblings from the same mother.
"Mr. Ling, it's you!" Lin Song almost took several steps back when he saw Ling Zhuoqun. "I... my family doesn't have the money to pay you back now... If you give me two more days, my sister won't marry you."
“Don’t worry, we won’t default on the payment of the 5,000 yuan. We don’t know why the money was lost…” Lin Song lowered his head, looking as if he had done something wrong.
Shen Jiaojiao approached Lin Song and tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Look at the girl next to Mr. Ling, do you know her?"
Shen Jiaojiao lowered her voice, but Lin Song still noticed that this girl looked like her mother when she was young! Could it be...
Lin Song didn't dare to recognize her for a moment, and couldn't even utter the word "sister". His throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, blocked and unable to make a sound.
"I... I'll go call Mom and Dad back. Jiaojiao, you ask Mr. Ling and the others to come in and sit down first." Lin Song said in a panic.
Then he took the bucket from Ling Zhuoqun's hand and brought it to the kitchen. He also picked up the gift from Ling Zhuoqun's hand, muttering, "Mr. Ling, you are too polite. Just come and bring so many things."
Lin's parents went to the fields to weed early in the morning and had only been busy for a while. Lin Song ran to the end of the field and told his parents the news that Ling Zhuoqun had come looking for him.
"Mr. Ling...Mr. Ling, are you here to ask us for money? The money was stolen, and our daughter doesn't want to get married. She even recognized someone else's biological parents. We are too embarrassed to see our biological daughter again..."
As she spoke, Lin's mother Cheng Yuzhu became overwhelmed with grief and burst into tears.
"Don't cry... We didn't take good care of our daughter. It's understandable that she doesn't want to recognize us. It's because we don't have the ability to give her a good life."
"Xiao Song, you've been wronged over the years. It's because of dad and mom's helplessness." Lin Weiguo was also infected by Cheng Yuzhu and felt a little sad for a while.
"Dad, Mom, what are you thinking about? You have worked so hard to raise us. It's not easy. Now we have clothes to wear and food to eat. We are already satisfied."
"As long as the family is healthy and happy, that's enough. I'm not here to talk to you about paying back the money. It's because Mr. Ling...he brought a girl with him who looks a lot like mom!"
Lin Song explained incessantly before he heaving a long sigh of relief.
"You mean, Mr. Ling brought a girl here?" Cheng Yuzhu stopped crying immediately. "Yes, maybe it's a little sister." When Lin Song said the word "little sister", his heartbeat in his chest was about to jump out.
He originally thought that after Lin Ge left, his former sister would not be willing to return to their home, but he did not expect that Mr. Ling would actually bring his sister back.
He had many questions in his mind, but the most common one was surprise. So, did he have a younger sister again?
"Weiguo, let's go home quickly. I want to see...my daughter!" In eighteen years, she had never seen her biological daughter, and she had never thought that the tragic incident of taking the wrong child would happen to her.
Xiaoge was already at the age of getting married, so they found many marriage proposals for her, but she didn't like any of them. Until the matchmaker brought Ling Zhuoqun to her house, Xiaoge agreed immediately.
That's why they accepted the 5,000 yuan betrothal gift. However, just two days after receiving it, Xiaoge suddenly changed her mind and said that she would never marry Ling Zhuoqun.
She disliked the smell of pork on Ling Zhuoqun.
It's not like they haven't seen Ling Zhuoqun before, but Ling Zhuoqun kept himself clean and there was no smell on his body. They didn't know where Xiaoge smelled it.
They also thought that Xiaoge was still young after all, and Ling Zhuoqun was almost eight years older than Xiaoge. Since Xiaoge didn't want to, they could just return the money to him and cancel the engagement.
At this moment, Xiaoge suddenly ran out of the house, saying that they would tie her up and take her to the Ling family to get married, so she wanted to escape.
Their whole family went out to look for her. They didn't sleep for three days and three nights, but they didn't find her. Three days later, Xiaoge appeared in front of them again and told them that she had found her biological parents.
Xiaoge also threw them a report sheet, which they couldn't understand either. They only saw kinship and only an 80% probability.
Xiaoge also said that if they were biological parents, the similarity should be 99.99%.
Afterwards, Xiaoge said that she was going to the city to look for her biological parents. After she found them, she never appeared in front of them again. I heard that Xiaoge’s biological parents were from a high-ranking official family and had a special driver to pick them up when they went out.
Maybe Xiaoge has found her biological parents and is enjoying herself.
Since Xiaoge was not going to get married, they thought about returning the money to Mr. Ling. However, when they went back to look for the 5,000 yuan, they found that after searching the entire house, not a penny of the money Mr. Ling gave them was left.
All this money was stolen!
As for who stole it, they had no idea.
In order to find Lin Ge, even the pregnant Shen Jiaojiao went with him. But when she returned home, the house was in a mess, everything was scattered everywhere, and there was not a penny left.
They didn't interact with others on weekdays, and no one except their family and Ling Zhuoqun knew that the bride price was 5,000 yuan, and no one knew where the money was kept.
As a result, word spread out at some point that the Lin family sold their daughter for 5,000 yuan and even ran away to hide. How unfair it was for them!
If they really wanted the 5,000 yuan, they wouldn't have to get up early and work in the fields. The reason they weeded so early in the morning was because they wanted the wheat to grow better so they could sell it at a good price to pay back the money, right?
The whole family was feeling miserable and had thought about calling the police, but in today's world, if you lost money you could only consider yourself unlucky. There wasn't even a door lock at home, and anyone could jump over the wall.
The person who stole the money might have already run away, so the Ling family could only swallow their anger.
