Jiang Wan's last sentence caused the woman to have a mental breakdown. She covered her head and screamed uncontrollably, speaking loudly.

"No! It's not what you think! There is nothing wrong between Li Qidong and me."

After saying this, the woman drove the two children into the room and closed the door.

"Go to your rooms and lie down on the beds. Cover your ears. No one is allowed to eavesdrop."

After settling the two children, the woman found a chair and sat down, calmly speaking about what to do next.

"His wife couldn't have children, and he saw that I gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, so he wanted to use my belly to have children."

"I disagreed at the time and kicked him out. I thought the matter was over, but he still refused to give up."

"One night, when my husband was not around, he quietly climbed over the wall and tried to molest me."

"Later, I screamed loudly and struggled violently, and finally he didn't succeed."

"This incident caused a big stir at the time. When my husband found out, he threatened to sue him."

"Later, he might have been scared, so he came to apologize with gifts."

"My parents-in-law were still alive at that time and advised me not to hurt my brother's feelings because of this matter."

"I didn't have a strong opinion at the time. In fact, I had already compromised after seeing all this. But my husband wouldn't allow it and insisted on reporting him to the police station and having him jailed."

"Later they realised that this was not going to work, so they went out and bought a boy, and then left the house to us as an atonement."

The woman paused here, and the following words seemed a little difficult for her to say.

"This incident was very disgraceful. Their family left in a very secretive manner. No one in the village knew where they went."

The woman didn't say anything else, so Jiang Wan continued.

"Others don't know where their home is, but you do, right?"

"Let me make a bold guess. Li Qidong must be still harboring evil intentions. Raising someone else's child is not enough. He wants to have another child of his own with you."

"So when he left, he secretly left you his address. No one in the whole village knows his whereabouts except you. Am I right?"

Jiang Wan smiled slightly. She said it was a guess, but in fact she was very sure.

The woman's face was pale, she nodded resignedly, then looked up in surprise and asked.

"You are not from our village, not even from here. How do you know this?"

"Of course I guessed."

Jiang Wan smiled slightly. She felt somewhat fortunate that she had been studying words for some time and had also learned to understand people's hearts.

For many things, she can guess the ending as long as others tell her the beginning.

Sometimes it’s because things are too simple, and sometimes it’s because her logical thinking is constantly being strengthened.

Whatever the reason, it helps her writing.

"Impossible! I haven't told anyone about this, how could you have guessed it?"

The woman expressed disbelief after hearing this, and the smile on Jiang Wan's face became even brighter.

"Nothing is impossible. Like you said, I'm not from here. I don't even know the grudges between you."

"The reason why I know so much is all due to the information you gave me and my own speculation."

"Okay, let's cut to the chase. Now can you tell me where Li Qidong's family moved to?"

Jiang Wan couldn't sit still when he heard that Li Qidong's family bought a newborn boy seven or eight years ago.

She had a feeling that the child must be hers.

Jiang Wan trembled with excitement at the thought that his son's whereabouts would soon be known.

This woman's story might be good material, but it is not important at all compared to the whereabouts of her son.

The woman lowered her head and said nothing. After a while, she ran into the room.

She fished out a yellowed note from the deep corner of the cabinet.

"This, this is what Li Qidong left for me."

Jiang Wan opened the yellowed, almost weathered piece of paper and saw that the words on it were crooked. The person who wrote it must have a low level of education and it must have been extremely difficult for him to write these words.

These words were written with some strokes light and some heavy, and as time went by, some of the ink began to turn yellow, making the words increasingly unclear.

Jiang Wan read the note again and again before he could barely recognize a few words.

"You actually kept the note Li Qidong gave you until now?"

Jiang Wan really couldn't see all the words written on the note, so she handed the note to Cheng Jinnian to study, and then asked another question in confusion.

When the woman heard this, her face turned red.

She lowered her head and said nothing, unwilling to answer and not knowing how to answer.

"Could it be that you like Li Qidong? Are you planning to rekindle your relationship with him?"

Jiang Wan looked at the woman in front of him with shock. The reason he asked these questions was mainly to find out more about Li Qidong.

"No, no, how could I possibly like that scoundrel?"

"He is such a shameless person, always taking advantage of others and often touching me."

"I like upright gentlemen, not villains like him."

"The reason I kept this note was because I was thinking about how he would come to trouble me later. I could tell my husband his address, and then my husband would naturally go to trouble him."

What the woman said made sense and the excuse was plausible.

"So, what you mean is that Li Qidong has never come to see you once in all these years? Even though your family lives in the house he once lived in?"

According to Jiang Wan's guess, Li Qidong and this woman's husband are brothers.

Li Qidong got married early and he and his wife built a house outside and then separated.

But they got married early but couldn't have children. Maybe they had no solution at the beginning.

Later, when he saw his brother's wife gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, he felt uncomfortable thinking that he was so old and still had no children, so he started to have ideas about her.

Moreover, this woman looks gentle and seems easy to control.

Li Qidong thought that the good things should be kept within the family, so he came up with such an outrageous idea.

"Yes, I heard that after he had a child, he turned all his attention to that child."

"Oh? Could it be that Li Qidong is very good to that child?"

Jiang Wan asked in a deliberately nonchalant manner, and until this moment the woman had not guessed her actual identity.

She asked so many questions about Li Qidong, but in fact she didn't know him at all.

What she was really interested in was the child he had bought. How was he doing now? Was he living well in the adoptive parents' home?

"I'm not sure about this. After all, we haven't met privately since they moved away. I just heard that he had very high expectations for the child and was very strict with him."

Jiang Wan grasped a key word from the woman's words, which was that they had not met in private, so did they meet in public?
