Prank wedding pranks? Little fortune teller remarries military officer in a sweet romance.

Ling Jiuyue looked at her: "It's probably just like you said. The old lady always wants to treat everyone equally, but your family's bowl of water is full enough without her help to add more, while your brother-in-law's family is still not as good as yours no matter how much she helps!"

Sometimes, older people tend to subconsciously favor the one who is not doing well. Your brother-in-law has three sons, but jobs are hard to find these days, and the couple only has one job each. Clearly, three sons are not enough to inherit the family fortune.

You two only have one daughter, and she's doing so well in school, her future is dazzlingly bright. Do you think she wouldn't feel bad?

Sister He's lips trembled: "Then...then Old Xiao?"

Ling Jiuyue said meaningfully, "You two, husband and wife, father and daughter, have a very good relationship. Since things have come to this, perhaps you should sit down and have a proper talk!"

As Qin Shixiao approached, he happened to brush past the He family mother and daughter, whose expressions were complicated.

"Has her daughter's matter been resolved?"

"Hmm!" Ling Jiuyue asked curiously, "Didn't you say you were going to visit your comrade's widow today? Why didn't you go?"

Qin Shixiao originally wanted to take her with him yesterday, but the He family was in a hurry because the college entrance examination was only a little over a month away, and they couldn't afford to delay.

Ling Jiuyue then stayed behind to deal with the He family's matter first, and sent Qin Shixiao over first.

Qin Shixiao said anxiously, "Go to Sister Lin's house and check on them. Her eldest son is only sixteen years old this year. These past few days, he's been talking about meeting some big boss and is determined to go south with him to make his fortune. He disappeared yesterday, and her mother-in-law is already bedridden!"

Sister-in-law Lin is the wife of one of Qin Shixiao's older brothers in the army. It has been almost ten years since the older brother sacrificed his life. Sister-in-law Lin's family has survived with the help of the government and the support of Qin Shixiao and his comrades.

"He wasn't doing well in school, and he wasn't old enough to join the army. They promised to help him get a job, but then..."

Lin's wife was not yet forty years old, but her hair was already gray, and she looked as weathered as if she were fifty.

She held Ling Jiuyue's hand and cried, "When his father passed away, Jiashu was still young, so his aunt took over the job. Now that Jiashu is older, his aunt doesn't mention taking back the job."

His grandmother said that his aunt had helped the family a lot over the years, and since they were all family, they shouldn't fuss over such a small matter. It didn't matter who had the job; if the family faced difficulties, his aunt wouldn't abandon them!

Hearing this, Ling Jiuyue couldn't help but glance at Qin Shixiao.

Qin Shixiao clenched his fists, suppressing his anger: "Sister-in-law, you're not that old, you could work, why did you give the job to his aunt?"

Sister-in-law Lin kept crying: "In the years after his father passed away, my health was always poor, and I was raising three children. Jiashu was only six years old at the time, and the youngest, Jiazhen and Jiayuan, were only two years old. My mother-in-law had to take care of my eldest brother's children, so... how could I work!"

Qin Shixiao took a deep breath: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Tell me first, who is this Jia Shu boss, and when did he disappear?"

Aunt Lin began to chatter on and on: "Yesterday morning, I made a pot of pumpkin porridge, but Jia Shu doesn't like to eat porridge..."

Qin Shixiao patiently said, "Sister-in-law, get to the point!"

"I'm saying it!"

Ling Jiuyue asked directly, "Where is that boss from?"

"It seems...it seems like they're from Hong Kong. They speak with a strange accent, we can't understand them!"

"What was Jia Shu's birth year, month, and hour?"

"Time?" Sister Lin was still trying to recall. She knew the year, month, and day, but she couldn't remember the exact time.

Qin Shixiao stated with certainty, "Around three o'clock in the afternoon!"

Sister-in-law Lin looked bewildered: "That can't be right, I remember it was almost dark!"

Qin Shixiao said in a deep voice, "It was pouring rain that day, so the sky looked dark and like it was going to get dark. Brother Lin went to find the midwife and tripped and fell down the slope into the pond!"

Old Lin loved his eldest son very much. He remembered this very clearly. At that time, he was a new recruit. In his spare time, Old Lin often talked to him about the time when his eldest son was born.

Ling Jiuyue's expression immediately darkened after calculating based on Lin Jiashu's birth date and time.

"Oh no, Kazuki is in big trouble!"

"Ah!" Aunt Lin panicked instantly, grabbing Ling Jiuyue's arm. "Sister, Jia Shu... what happened to Jia Shu?"

Ling Jiuyue looked at Qin Shixiao: "His boss is no good. He's always swindling and cheating people, luring them to illegal brick kilns or coal mines, sending kids to be pickpockets, or crippling them to beg. He's already near the city train station. You need to contact him quickly and see if you can stop him!"

TRAIN STATION.

Lin Jiashu happily showed off his aviator sunglasses to his friends: "Old Ma, am I handsome?"

Ma Cheng scoffed, put on his sunglasses, and casually tugged at the large gold chain around his neck.

"See that? Now that's what you call style, buddy!"

A young girl in front of them fanned her nose, looking disgusted: "You two country bumpkins! Dressed like that, you're nouveau riche. If you go to a big city like Guangzhou, people will laugh at you!"

"Yes, big star!" Lin Jiashu and Ma Cheng chuckled. "Ge Xiaohua, when you become a big star in movies, you must send us postcards!"

Ge Xiaohua raised her chin proudly and said, "That depends on your performance!"

A group of sixteen- or seventeen-year-old boys are filled with all sorts of unknown expectations for that distant south.

As the group approached the ticket gate and were about to enter the station, they were stopped.

"Comrade, please show me your letter of introduction!"

Police station.

Sister Lin, holding her son who had almost disappeared, broke down in tears: "Why did you run around like that? Do you know how worried your mother was!"

Lin Jiashu said unhappily, "Mom, what are you doing? I'm going to make big money, why did you bring me to the police station?"

Qin Shixiao retorted, "Lin Jiashu, even now, do you still think you're going south to make big money?"

Lin Jiashu both respected and feared his uncle, Qin Shixiao.

"Uncle Qin, what brings you here?"

Ge Xiaohua, standing to the side, was very unhappy: "Lin Jiashu, did you leak the news and ruin my chance to become a big star?!"

Ma Cheng remained silent, but his gaze towards Lin Jiashu was equally unfriendly.

"Come with me!" Qin Shixiao didn't scold the boys, but led them to the interrogation room. There was a glass wall between them, so they could hear the interrogation inside, but the people inside couldn't see outside.

"Xiao Kairui, formerly known as Xiao Wangcai, male, 38 years old this year, was a former employee of Lingxi City Bank. Five years ago, he fled after embezzling public funds and became a wanted criminal."

The boys looked at each other, their faces showing fear.

"During your time on the run, you married four times. Each time, you sold your wife to a poor mountain village under the pretense of taking her back to your hometown, and sold your children to human traffickers. During this period..."
