"It was my mother who sold us. ”
In 2009, a father and son who had been separated for 18 years hugged each other and cried, but the first words of the son shocked everyone.
What kind of woman can ruthlessly sell her own children? What really happened back then?
This gray-haired old man named Jin Kailiang was born in a small mountain village in Bijie, Guizhou.
In 1979, Jin Kailiang, who was already in his 20s, was still working on the farm with his parents, and he himself learned a superb carpentry skill.
However, a young man has not been married for a long time, which can be very bad for his parents.
It turned out that Jin Kailiang was a mute.
Although everyone praises him when he usually gets along, when it comes to talking about marriage, everyone is afraid to avoid him.
In order to find a support for their son, the old parents asked someone to inquire around, and finally heard that there was a divorced woman with a baby in the neighboring village.
The woman was also very happy, because it was very hard to carry a daughter who had just turned one year old, so she did not dislike Jin Kailiang for being a mute. In this way, the woman named Li Yuxian remarried Jin Kailiang and renamed her daughter Jin Shuqin.
After marriage, the two gave birth to 5 children one after another.
Jin Kailiang usually works in the fields most of the time, and when the people in the village are in need, he does some carpentry in exchange for money and materials to support this huge family.
And Li Yuxian is also very virtuous, takes care of the housekeeping at home in an orderly manner, and takes care of the children very thoughtfully.
However, 12 years later, one winter, when Jin Kailiang woke up, all seven members of his family disappeared mysteriously.
Jin Kailiang ran around the village, his speechless voice kept "babbling", and the villagers saw his urgency, and then they learned about the disappearance of the family.
But even though the whole village was searched, there was still no trace of the family.
Since then, Jin Kai has a disheartened conscience, and often sits in the courtyard of his house, staring blankly at the path leading to the outside world.
The villagers couldn't help but sigh every day as they passed, and although this honest man could not speak, everyone knew that he had been waiting for his wife and children to come home.
I survived 18 years like this, until one day in 2009, Jin Kailiang's nephew Jin Xianpeng suddenly received a **.
Is there a man named Jin Kailiang in your village? Is he a dumb man? ”
Jin Xianpeng thought it strange at first, because his uncle was mute, he had not gone out in the village for many years, what stranger would look for him?
But then, he thought of the family where his uncle had disappeared, and immediately replied excitedly: "Yes, yes, I am Jin Kailiang's nephew, do you have anything to do with him?" ”
Sure enough, the man on the other end was also very excited: "I may be the son Jin Dajiang he is looking for, I want to find you to confirm my identity in person." ”
In order to better contact each other, and to find out the truth about the mysterious disappearance of a family of seven that year, Jin Xianpeng immediately found the police and ** reporters to assist in the investigation.
Soon, the reporter got in touch with the person who claimed to be Jin Dajiang, and learned that his current name is Zhou Peng, an executive of a listed company, with a car and a house, and a net worth of tens of millions.
Zhou Peng and the impoverished old man in the mountain village Jin Kailiang don't seem to be people of the same world at all, so will he really be the missing son of the old man?
Jin Xianpeng was the first to meet Zhou Peng and found that although he spoke with a foreign accent, he looked very similar to his uncle.
And as soon as Zhou Peng saw each other, he felt even more cordial, their cousins used to play together when they were children.
After the two got acquainted, they drove back to their hometown, looking at the familiar path in front of them, Zhou Peng's eyes turned red.
Soon after, a gray-haired old man came into his field of vision.
After getting out of the car, the two stood still.
Although 18 years of change had changed their appearance, the two still recognized each other immediately.
Just when the father and son hugged each other and cried, Zhou Peng said an unbelievable sentence: "It was my mother who sold us back then." ”
What was the secret of what happened back then? We may know the answer from Zhou Peng.
According to Zhou Peng's recollection, one morning in the winter of 1991, before dawn, his mother, Li Yuxian, called all their children up and said that she would take them out of the house.
The 13-year-old eldest daughter Jin Shuqin and 12-year-old Zhou Peng asked very suspiciously: "Mom, shall we go to **?" ”
I only heard my mother say, "Let's go outside the village, it's good outside, and we can make a lot of money." ”
When he saw that his mother was going to take away his 12-month-old brother, although his heart was full of doubts, he still didn't think too much, after all, no one would have thought that his mother, who had been diligent for many years, would harm him.
In this way, several people followed a man out of the mountain village, and after I don't know how long he sat in the car, Zhou Peng was sold to a rich family.
I saw it with my own eyes, because I was 12 years old at the time, and I was already literate and able to remember. I saw that the receipt for my purchase was $1,400. ”
At that time, when the young Zhou Peng learned the truth, he felt that the sky had fallen, and he was so frightened that he cried.
However, the mother followed the man and left without looking back, amid his cries.
Fortunately, Zhou Peng's adoptive parents treated him very well and did their best to train him to become a talent, which allowed him to have his achievements at this time and gave him the opportunity to find his father again.
After listening to this passage, the reporter was very surprised, why could this mother sell her biological child so ruthlessly?
It all seems to have something to do with the strange man next to the mother.
The reporter then asked, "Then do you remember who the man who walked with you was?" ”
Zhou Peng remembered this person deeply, and replied firmly: "His surname is Li, and his name is Li Yuanbing." ”
Who knew that as soon as this name was mentioned, Jin Kailiang, who had been sitting silently next to him, suddenly stood up excitedly.
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Jin Kailiang introduced this person in sign language.
In the early years, Li Yuanbing was Jin Kailiang's neighbor, because this person has always been unprofessional, idle in the village, and has never married a wife and had children for many years.
However, one day, when Jin Kailiang returned home, he suddenly heard the screams of his daughter Jin Shuqin.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Li Yuanbing acting mistoward according to his 13-year-old daughter.
Although Jin Shuqin is not related to himself, he has treated her as his own daughter for many years.
After seeing this scene, Jin Kailiang was angry, picked up the sickle in his hand and slashed the opponent's waist.
But no one thought that Li Yuanbing would take revenge on him, and teamed up with his wife to abduct and sell his children and break up his family.
Li Yuanbing is the culprit of this shocking human trafficking case, and it seems to be a sure thing.
Both father and son want to bring the beast to justice and ask about the whereabouts of the other children.
So, the indignant people came to the police station, hoping that ** could find Li Yuanbing and Li Yuxian.
In addition, everyone also needs to answer a question, why would Li Yuxian sell his children with outsiders?
Soon after, by checking the ID card and the movement of people, ** quickly found the two people.
However, when ** came to Li Yuanbing's house, he found that his wife was Jin Kailiang's eldest daughter Jin Shuqin.
What's going on here?
In the face of **'s inquiry, Jin Shuqin was always reluctant to speak, nor did he want to show up, let alone accept interviews with reporters.
According to Li Yuanbing, he forced Li Yuxian to keep his eldest daughter with him, while Li Yuxian took his other children to Yixing, Jiangsu Province, and the two had no contact for many years.
In Yixing, Jiangsu, ** found Li Yuxian, but found that she had already formed a new family.
When asked if she would like to go back to see her former husband and son, Li Yuxian refused very indifferently.
Although they were very resentful of the woman who broke up their family, Jin Kailiang and his son decided to meet her, hoping to find out the reason for their abduction and trafficking, and also to find out the whereabouts of the other children.
Jin Kailiang and his son came to Yixing, Jiangsu, where Li Yuxian lived.
In the face of her husband and son many years ago, Li Yuxian has always been very indifferent and kept silent about her criminal behavior.
mentioned the whereabouts of other children, and she only gave three cold words "I don't know".
And at this moment, ** suddenly came with news that Li Yuanbing, who had ** a few days ago, was released again.
It turned out that after Li Yuanbing and Li Yuxian abducted and sold their children, Jin Kailiang did not report to the police because he did not understand the law, and now the case has long passed the legal prosecution period.
Seeing that the father and son were helpless with Li Yuxian and Li Yuanbing, the reporter decided to mediate.
What is surprising is that when he learned from the reporter that Zhou Peng is now worth a lot of money, Li Yuxian changed his indifference a few days ago, began to approach his son, and cried to everyone.
She cried and said that she was bewitched by Li Yuanbing, thinking that she could live a better life by following him.
As a result, it was not until she ran away from home that she knew that Li Yuanbing was going to take her to sell her child.
Because Li Yuxian was helpless in the field, he had no choice but to listen to Li Yuanbing's words, and first sold his son Jin Dajiang, who is now Zhou Peng.
Later, Li Yuanbing told her that as long as he married his eldest daughter Jin Shuqin to him, he would return the other children to Jin Kailiang.
However, after doing so, Li Yuanbing reversed course and sold the other three children to other places one after another.
Li Yuxian felt sorry for her husband, and remarried to Yixing, Jiangsu Province with her youngest son Jin Wenlong alone.
Although Jin Wenlong, who went out to work, soon returned home to reunite with his father and brother, they never thought that Li Yuxian was innocent.
The cruel mother wanted to hug Zhou Peng in tears, crying and saying, "It's my mother who is sorry for you." ”
But Zhou Peng pushed her away very resistantly, and he said indifferently: "You'd better not be next to me, unless you find my two younger brothers and one younger sister, I won't forgive you." ”
In this regard, Li Yuxian was helpless, saying that he had no way to find them.
Li Yuxian's explanation did not exchange forgiveness from the father and son, who still find it difficult to understand why a mother would sell her child, let alone believe that a 30-year-old adult would be stupid enough to distinguish between right and wrong.
If Li Yuxian had only one motive for selling her sons and daughters, Zhou Peng believed that she must be living more comfortably with herself for money.
And the reason why her mother is so ruthless is not because she is stupid, but because she is so vicious and selfish by nature.
In the end, Li Yuxian and Li Yuanbing both said that they no longer remembered that their three children were sold to **, and they did not leave the buyer's name and specific address when they traded that year.
Jin Kailiang and Zhou Peng had no choice but to take a photo with their youngest son Jin Wenlong, and the father and son talked about the past together, and they all said that they would spare no effort to continue to search for the missing three relatives.
Regrettably, the statutory prosecution period in this case has long passed, and the two culprits cannot be properly punished.
What is even more distressing is that the eldest daughter Jin Shuqin was forced to marry the enemy of her own family and was unwilling to see her father and younger brother.
When they left Li Yuxian's house, the father and son were very heavy, and they could only hope that the three children would also take the initiative to contact them through the missing person notice posted on the Internet like Zhou Peng.
But the children were very young at the time, and perhaps they had forgotten about it.
Will there ever be a day when this separated family will be reunited? We hope so, but the reality may not always be as it should be.
