Chapter 6: Life Swap 6 (Completed)

"Wouldn't my son then become someone else's son?" Ji Gangqiang thought about it more and more and it seemed possible.

He stood up, hands behind his back, and took a couple of steps, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly. Suddenly, he glared fiercely at Feng Li, pointing a finger at her forehead:

"It's all your fault! Look what you've done! You lost your own son and now you're raising someone else's!"

Feng Li felt anxious: "How can you blame me? Didn't you agree to it back then?"

"Besides, the doctor said the child was sick, and you heard that yourself. It's not my fault!"

Ji Gangqiang became more and more convinced that he had guessed correctly, and he didn't want to listen to Feng Li's words at all: "Find a time to switch the two children back!"

Feng Li gritted her teeth, feeling wronged: "No way! What if he really is sick? The child was as skinny as a monkey back then."

Ji Gangqiang sat down, also worried that the child might be sick.

“A newborn baby changes every day. If it drags on, it will be difficult to switch the baby back. Go and check on the baby. If there are no problems, try to switch the baby back. If the baby is still as weak as before, we will go out to work.”

Feng Li nodded.

This is one approach.

"Then I'll find an opportunity to go and take a look."

Looking at the child in Feng Li's arms, Ji Gangqiang realized that she truly had no fatherly love whatsoever.

After all, they're not his own offspring.

The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that the doctor misdiagnosed the child. Judging from Gangzheng's appearance, the child must be fine. If there were a problem, he would have been frantic with worry by now.

Feng Li took the child and went next door.

Sun Qiao frowned upon seeing this: "Sister-in-law, you're in your postpartum period, why are you going out in the wind?"

"It's alright, it's alright." Feng Li smiled. "I just came to see how you are and if you need any help."

“I’ve had three children, so I can share some of my experience with you.”

Sun Qiao disagreed: "I have my mother here, and you've already had three children, how can you be so careless?"

Feng Li dressed herself up as warmly as possible, and even took out her woolen hat and put it on herself, just to avoid the wind.

Her mother-in-law had also taken care of her during her postpartum period and knew that Tang Guixiang was a meticulous person. She had taken good care of Tang Guixiang during her postpartum period.

But both she and Gangqiang had other things on their minds.

There's simply no way to have a peaceful postpartum period.

"I was so bored lying at home for so long, so I came to talk to you." Feng Li didn't want to leave, holding her child and glancing at the child next to Sun Qiao.

Sun Qiao stopped talking; she was bored too.

I wanted to knit something, but my mother-in-law wouldn't let me touch it, saying it would hurt my eyes.

"Sister-in-law, if you want to see the baby, just come and see. You can't see him like this anyway." Feng Li picked up the baby, just as Ji Huaizhi woke up.

"I was just afraid of waking him up," Feng Li said, trying to sound natural.

We must not feel guilty, we must not feel guilty.

"Why does he look so much fairer? Wasn't his face a bit purplish when he was in the hospital?" Feng Li tightened her grip on the baby as she saw how chubby and fair he looked.

"It disappeared in just two days. My mom was worried that his lips and face were turning purple, but it just faded away." Sun Qiao smiled and picked up the child to tease him, "Look how cute he is."

Feng Li stared blankly at the child in Sun Qiao's arms: "Really? I heard before that the child's face turning purple or blue was a sign of illness. Although he's recovered, do you want to go and have him checked?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Qiao's smile faded.

"Sister-in-law, the doctors at the hospital said that Huaizhi is perfectly healthy." Sun Qiao's tone was somewhat indifferent.

“Sometimes hospitals misdiagnose children. It’s better to get it checked again. You’ll feel at ease if the child is okay, right?” Feng Li stared at the child in his arms.

I didn't notice that Sun Qiao was already unhappy.

“I’m perfectly at ease, sister-in-law, please don’t keep saying that. I don’t like hearing it. It’s like you wish my child were sick.”

Sun Qiao lowered her eyes and urged her to leave: "Sister-in-law, you're still in your postpartum period. You should go home early, lest you catch a cold and develop postpartum illnesses."

Feng Li smiled awkwardly: "I didn't mean anything by it."

Just then, the child in Feng Li's arms started crying, so she had no choice but to leave with the child in her arms.

As soon as Feng Li got home, she breastfed her child. Once the baby was fed, the baby stopped fussing. However, Feng Li sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.

That child is really different from before; he used to seem listless.

But just now, Feng Li saw that the child was very energetic, his eyes were very bright when he looked at people and things, and he seemed to have gained some weight.

She now shares the same thought as Ji Gangqiang: Could the doctor have made a mistake?

When Sun Qiao was eating, Ji Gang came back and she brought up the matter with him: "Sister-in-law, you're really something. My son seems so well-behaved and easy to take care of. How could he be sick?"

"I could tell from her expression that she had ill intentions."

"My older brother mentioned it to me before, and I wasn't happy about it either." Ji Gang was holding his son and pacing around the house when he suddenly thought of something:

"Do you think they're hinting at something to us? They're just too embarrassed to say it."

Sun Qiao swallowed the chicken in her mouth: "What are you implying?"

Ji Gang, holding the baby, said thoughtfully, "This is their third child. They're more experienced than us. Maybe they've noticed something. I'd rather go to the hospital for a checkup to put my mind at ease."

Sun Qiao immediately yelled, "Ji Gangzheng, you also think my son is sick? Are you out of your mind? My son is so cute and clever, how could he be sick?"

Seeing how protective she was of her child, Ji Gang comforted her, "I didn't, I was just worried."

Sun Qiao couldn't eat anymore: "It's affecting my mood and my appetite. Give me the child."

Ji Gang said a few more flattering words, thinking to himself that he should take some time to go to the hospital to see a doctor.

Ji Huaizhi was blowing bubbles and humming to himself, thinking, "You guys better take me to see him soon, so the neighbors will know I'm a healthy, chubby boy and they'll be so angry."

Ji Gangqiang, standing next door, fell silent after hearing Feng Li's words.

“You also think our child doesn’t seem sick.” Feng Li nodded and looked down at Yaoguang.

The joy I felt before because I had a healthy son is now matched by my complicated feelings.

“Okay.” Feng Li suddenly broke the deadlock: “Go find the doctor who told us the child was sick before, the one I just told you about, and talk to that doctor and ask him if the child is not sick in this situation.”

Ji Gangqiang scratched his head, wondering what was going on.

"What are you thinking about? Go on." Feng Li was anxious when he didn't speak.

"I understand. So, should we still go out to work?" Ji Gangqiang asked.

Feng Li: What do you think?

Ji Gangqiang: "How would I know? I just wanted to switch the child back if nothing was wrong."

Feng Li felt a headache and chills: "Let's talk about going out to work later. First, let's make sure there's nothing wrong with that child."

(I'm sleepy~ I'm going to sleep now. ('-ω ))

Ji Gangqiang secretly went to the hospital. He saw the doctor seeing patients at the office door and waited for a while. When he saw someone come out, he immediately went in.

The people in line behind him called out to him, "What are you doing? Are you going in just because your number is next?"

Ji Gangqiang turned his head: "I'm not here for a medical appointment, I just want to ask you something, right away."

The doctor looked up and frowned as he stood blocking the doorway: "What are you doing here instead of seeing a doctor? Aren't you delaying other people's medical treatment?"

Ji Gangqiang smiled ingratiatingly: "I just came to ask, doctor, you said before that my son's face and lips were purple because he had heart disease. Now that he's all better and chubby, does that mean he's okay?"

The doctor looked at him and recalled that, after all, there was only one newborn suspected of having heart disease before.

"I remember now, your wife was discharged from the hospital early after giving birth, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Ji Gangqiang nodded, then turned to the unconvinced people behind him: "I know them, I'm just asking, it won't delay your doctor's appointment."

The man frowned angrily and stood at the door watching.

The doctor can't recall the child's symptoms at the time: "I remember that in addition to his face turning purple, the child was also breathing rapidly."

"You still need to bring your child to the hospital for further examination."

Ji Gangqiang shook his head: "The child is too young. I just came to ask if there might be a misdiagnosis?"

"Because he looked listless when he was born, and he's not as chubby and healthy as he was when he was first born, so we wondered if it was a misunderstanding and that the child wasn't sick."

The doctor hesitated to say, "It's difficult to draw conclusions without seeing the child; we need to see the child and conduct further examinations to know for sure."

"However, since the child is young, there is a possibility of misdiagnosis. Also, since the child is young, some of his or her bodily functions are not fully developed. If he or she gets enough nutrition, he or she may recover on his or her own."

Ji Gang slapped his thigh: "Oh dear! Why didn't you say so sooner? Because of your misdiagnosis, my child won't..."

The doctor thought he was trying to pin the blame on him: "You can't say anything? You can't just say things like that. I told you I was going to do some further tests, but you two quietly left with the baby."

"It's all your fault. You didn't think the child was sick and abandoned him, did you?" the doctor frowned.

This kind of situation is quite common, and they might actually be capable of doing it.

"It's not lost!" Ji Gangqiang said anxiously, his face contorted with worry. "But it's because of you... you quack!"

"Oh dear!" Ji Gangqiang couldn't bring himself to say it amidst so many people.

The people behind them grew impatient: "Don't waste our time, the people behind us need to see a doctor."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Ji Gangqiang stumbled, "Why are you pushing me?"

"If I don't push you, who will I push?" The man went inside with his wife and children and slammed the door shut.

Ji Gangqiang was humiliated and returned home in a daze, feeling resentful. He now believed that the doctor had made a mistake and misdiagnosed him.

They were made to exchange their healthy son for someone else's.

When Feng Li heard her husband say that the diagnosis was misdiagnosed, she felt conflicted and didn't dare to say anything, afraid that her husband would blame her for everything.

"Gangqiang, what do we do now?"

The child changes every day, and Sun Qiao dotes on the child and never lets go of him, so it's very difficult for them to switch children now.

"What do we do? What do we do?" Ji Gangqiang was annoyed. "How can you be so quick, you damn woman? You just changed it like that. What are we going to do now?"

“My child is now someone else’s child, and I’ve become the sucker who’s raising someone else’s child.”

"Why am I so unlucky?"

"Bang!" Ji Xiong suddenly pushed open the door, startling Feng Li, who jumped up.

Fortunately, Ji Jiao is with the child now, otherwise she would have been scared to death.

"What were you two talking about inside?" Ji Xiong asked the couple with a dark expression. "Gang Qiang, tell me, what did you mean by what you just said?"

Feng Li shivered, and the wind rushing in through the door made her pull her clothes tighter.

Ji Gangqiang knew that his father had always favored him, so he simply told his father directly and asked him to find a solution for him.

"dad!"

After hearing about what they had done, Ji Xiong felt a headache coming on: "You guys are really... You switched the child before you even confirmed whether the child was really sick."

"Dad, there's nothing I can do. Gangqiang finally had a son, but the doctor said he has heart disease, and there's nothing I can do." Feng Li sat on the bed wiping away tears.

"And Gangqiang agreed to it at the time. I know it's wrong, but my younger brother and sister-in-law said they wanted to have a second child, so..."

Ji Gangqiang stood to one side, hoping his father could come up with a solution for him.

After a moment of silence, Ji Xiong asked, "Are you sure the child is alright?"

Ji Gangqiang recalled that the doctor had also mentioned the possibility of misdiagnosis: "Yes, the doctor also said that the child is too young and there is a possibility of misdiagnosis."

"It won't be easy to get the child back." Ji Xiong thought of how Sun Qiao and Tang Guixiang treated the child like their own eyes, and how they wouldn't even let him near them even after he smoked a cigarette.

Moreover, the child wouldn't let him hold him; he would cry if he was touched.

He's still the eldest son's son, and this kid is so lovable.

Seeing his father remain silent, Ji Gangqiang grew anxious: "Dad, think of something. If the child is healthy, I still want my own child."

Ji Xiong looked up: "Isn't the baby's one-month celebration coming up? We can hold the celebration together then. There will be a lot of people, so mistakes are more likely to happen. We should be able to switch back then."

Ji Gangqiang and Feng Li exchanged a glance and agreed that it was feasible.

"Okay, I'll listen to Dad. You have to help me, he's your eldest grandson."

Ji Xiong's mouth itched for a cigarette: "If you ask me, if we can't get the full moon celebration back, then we shouldn't change it. We should just let things be as they are."

Feng Li's smile froze: "Go with the flow?"

"Dad, what do you mean by this?" Ji Gangqiang asked.

"It means exactly what it sounds like, they're all Ji family children anyway." Ji Xiong didn't really care, they were all his grandsons: "Besides, Gangzheng's conditions are better than yours, your son will definitely have a better life with him than with you two."

Feng Li and the other woman were displeased upon hearing this: "Dad, what you said is wrong."

“Our circumstances are not as good as the second child’s family, but we are that child’s biological parents.”

"Now you're saying you're the child's biological parents? Why didn't you think of that when you switched the children?" Ji Xiong looked at her impatiently: "Idiot!"

Ji Gangqiang shared the same opinion as his wife, but he remained silent when he heard his father say that his wife was stupid.

Ji Xiong said, "How can you be so stupid? If you can't get them back, just raise them like this and see which child is successful in the future. If Yaoguang is successful, then you will be his parents."

“If the one from Gangzheng’s family becomes successful, don’t forget that you are his biological parents. Find an opportunity to say that it was an accidental mix-up at birth.”

"Whose fault is this?"
