Zhou Chunhua had been married for over twenty years when her husband cheated on her.
She began to reflect: Was she not virtuous enough? Was she not thoughtful enough?
No! It was because...
That evening, the two children were unusually well-behaved and went to bed early, around eight o'clock.
As usual, Gu Yao held their favorite storybooks and told them bedtime stories.
Soon, the sound of even breathing could be heard.
Gu Yao closed the book and asked, "Why didn't you discuss your return to Ganxi Village with me beforehand?"
"It was a last-minute decision. Don't worry, Captain Qin will arrange for someone to go with me." She explained, "As you can see, Tongtong's condition is getting worse every day. I'm worried that if this drags on, Tongtong might... end up like Nini."
He was so young. And if it weren't for Tongtong, Nini might have already…” She didn’t even dare to think any further.
"And the longer it drags on, the harder it is to find clues."
"Can't we postpone it? Wait until I'm healed before we go?" Gu Yao asked.
Zhou Chunhua smiled and said, "The whole village has been arrested, and with Captain Qin's men, there definitely won't be any problems. You just focus on recovering from your injuries and keep an eye on the two children. You know I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving them with anyone else."
After a moment of contemplation, Gu Yao said, "Can we go the day after tomorrow? I don't know why, but my wound has been aching all day. You watch the two children tomorrow, and I'll give it a thorough check-up."
"Did you...did you aggravate your wound? Or did they hurt it while they were being naughty?" Zhou Chunhua's heart jumped into her throat.
"The day after tomorrow is fine, there's no rush. Why don't we skip tomorrow and go see the doctor now?"
"I've already checked," Gu Yao said. "Dr. Liu has even prepared the order for tomorrow's checkup. The main problem is that Yangyang's dad and the others are in complete disarray, and I don't trust them to help look after the child, which is why I asked you to come a day later."
Once my checkup is clear and everything is fine, you can rest assured about the child; I'll keep an eye on him. However, even if Qin Donglai arranges for someone to accompany you, you still need to be extra careful.
Also, always carry self-defense items with you. In deep mountains and forests, you need to be wary not only of people, but also of snakes, insects, and rodents.
“Yes, I know,” she replied.
...
the next day.
Gu Yao was going to get checked out early in the morning.
She was about to go with them, but before she could even leave the house, Yangyang's father arrived.
"Nini's mom, something's happened! You have to come with me!"
Zhou Chunhua hesitated and looked at Gu Yao.
Gu Yao waved to her repeatedly, "It's okay, hurry up and go see Yangyang's dad. I only have a few tests here, I can go by myself. Go quickly, don't delay anything."
Zhou Chunhua then led the two children out with Yangyang's father.
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw a large crowd gathered around the entrance to the ward not far away.
"quick!"
Yangyang's father led the way.
They squeezed through the crowd, entered the ward, and stopped.
Several doctors in white coats were comforting Kexin's grandmother, who was sitting on the windowsill.
As soon as she came in, he sternly told them to leave.
Zhou Chunhua pretended not to see anything and went up to her, shouting, "Auntie! What are you doing?"
Kexin's grandmother, who had already leaned half her body out of the window, turned around when she heard her voice.
"I, Nini's mom, I, I'm so tired."
Seeing that Grandma Kexin's eyes were swollen bigger than walnuts from crying, she handed Nini and Tongtong to Yangyang's father and walked over.
"I know you're tired. But it's precisely at times like these that we need to hold on!"
"What's the point of holding on? What's the point of continuing? My husband is gone, my daughter and son-in-law are gone, and now even my only granddaughter is gone. What am I still holding on for? If only I had known..."
Before Kexin's grandmother could finish speaking, she interrupted, "Of course you have to hold on! Auntie, are you confused? Those people who killed your granddaughter are still alive, how can you not hold on?"
When you get down there, if they ask you whether the murderer who killed your Kexin has been executed, what will you say? Say you don't know? Say you jumped off the building before the murderer was brought to justice?
"Auntie! Those beasts are still alive! How dare we jump? Come down!"
After she finished yelling, she went to help the person up.
Unexpectedly, several young doctors in white coats stopped her.
"Auntie, what if you provoke her like this and she jumps?"
"Exactly! Aren't you just pushing her to her death by saying these things?"
The two little girls kept pushing her out.
She also said, "Auntie, you can go out first."
Zhou Chunhua was so angry that she broke free and pushed the two of them away.
"She won't jump. Let me over and help her down." She looked anxiously out the window.
It was so difficult to persuade Kexin's grandmother; if we don't seize this opportunity to get her down, something might happen...
"Fine, fine, I won't go over there. You guys can go over there, okay? Hurry up and help her down!"
As a result, several doctors in white coats hesitated and dared not step forward.
Just in case, she simply yelled at Kexin's grandmother, "Get down here! We have a lot of things to do! You're just wasting everyone's time sitting there!"
The two junior doctors kept whispering to her, "Could you please stop provoking her?"
The next second, someone shouted, "She's coming down! Look, that auntie is coming down from the window!"
Zhou Chunhua didn't care about anything else. Taking advantage of the moment when the doctors in white coats were stunned, she rushed over and grabbed Kexin's grandmother's leg.
“Yes, you’re right. They’re not dead, so why should I be?” Grandma Kexin muttered as she climbed down from the window.
Zhou Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief the moment her feet touched the ground.
At that moment, a round of applause rang out from behind.
During the incident, someone shouted, "Auntie, the older sister is right. As long as the human traffickers haven't been brought to justice, we have to live well!"
"Yes! Auntie, please don't do anything foolish again, lest those scoundrels get away with it!"
"Go, Auntie!"
"..."
The shouts from all around grew louder and louder.
It is clear that human traffickers are practically as bad as rats in the street.
However, the crowd was quickly dispersed by hospital security guards.
What Zhou Chunhua didn't know was that everything that had just happened had already been posted online by the onlookers.
In just a few minutes, the video received over 300,000 views.
The number of reposts exceeded 100,000 in no time.
The comments section below was incredibly popular.
In less than five minutes, the comment section had been filled with hundreds of replies.
To prevent this from happening again, Zhou Chunhua gathered everyone together in one place.
Looking into their lifeless eyes, she clenched her fists in anger.
"You...you haven't thought about who will seek justice for your families after you die? Who will avenge your children?"
The matter isn't even settled yet, how could you do something so foolish that will only hurt your enemies and please them?
Having had similar experiences, she knew that hatred could also be a form of power!
