Reborn in the 1980s: I became a stepmother in the 1980s

Part 190 Finish

Zhou Suisui wiped her hands and hurried to open the door.

"Who is it?" she asked.

As soon as she opened the door, she was stunned. It was actually Lin Sisi's biological parents. But what surprised Zhou Suisui even more was that the Si parents, who had been so arrogant and haughty the last time they visited, now looked drastically different. Their faces were sunken, making them look like they had aged ten years. She also didn't see a car outside.

The two were carrying some items in their hands. Zhou Suisui was puzzled and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Seeing Zhou Suisui's suspicious gaze, Si's father and mother were visibly embarrassed. Last time they had come to the Lin family, they had shown disdain and condescension. But now, they were showing up at the door, trying to ingratiate themselves. For them, this was a huge insult.

However, they couldn't show their discomfort and could only awkwardly ask, "Are Sisi's adoptive parents at home?"

Over the past few days, they had been seeking mediation from the police, but the responses had all been refusals, with the message being that the matter should be handled as it is. Even with the Fu family and Fu Yang stepping in, it was to no avail.

If this incident had happened privately without such a public outcry, given their connections, Lin Sisi would likely have been sorted out easily. Unfortunately, the matter had become widely known, with the entire military compound aware of it.

Si's father had even been summoned by his superiors for questioning. Although Lin Sisi had been raised in the countryside for over a decade, and technically his responsibility was minimal, the scandal caused by a direct family member being imprisoned was a severe blow to his position as an official.

The military was now monitoring his handling of the situation closely. This meant that Si's father couldn't leverage connections, use his influence, or offer bribes to the Fu family to seek help from Fu Shouzhang.

With only one daughter, a precious only child, he couldn't bear to watch her life be ruined. To repay the 3,000 yuan, he even sold his prized car. In the past few days, he had lost his appetite and sleep, visibly aging by over a decade.

The couple realized that this situation couldn't go on, so they decided to visit the Lin family. Although they were unsure about how Lin Sisi's adoptive family had treated her in the past, they had raised her for eighteen years, and there must have been some bond.
