Chapter 400: Empathy

With the current family planning policy, every family only wants one child.

Zhao Fanggang and Xu Lan, one is a soldier and the other is a teacher, so naturally they both responded to the call.

But in fact, both of them still want a daughter, and when they see Yaya, they will naturally treat her as their own daughter.

The main thing is that Yaya is really lovable, she is pretty and cute, and she is sensible and considerate. Who wouldn’t love such a girl?

Xu Lan really fell in love with Yaya at first sight, and wished she could exchange the brat Zhao Lei for the one next to her.

As a mother, if you put yourself in his shoes, if something like this happened to Zhao Lei, she would be worried to death, not to mention that Yaya is so young.

When Xu Lan thought of the little girl falling into the water, her heart ached.

"Eat first, then we'll go over after dinner."

"Shall I make some porridge for Yaya?" Xu Lan asked Zhao Fanggang.

"No need, the kitchen staff has prepared everything."

"Okay, then let's bring some more food over later." Before Xu Lan came, she specially bought clothes for Yaya.

It’s just that I haven’t had time to deliver it today. I’ll deliver it later.

"Mom, I want to go see my sister Yaya, too." Zhao Lei said, "I can give my toys to my sister."

"Okay, let's go together later." Xu Lan reminded Zhao Lei: "But you have to behave yourself when you get there, and don't make trouble for your sister, okay? Your sister is still young and she's not feeling well, and she'll be even more uncomfortable if you make trouble for her."

Zhao Lei nodded: "Mom, I know."

During the meal, Sun Cui'e and Zhao Yan came out, both of them looked unhappy.

Sun Cui'e glared at Zhao Fanggang: "You ungrateful bastard, you side with outsiders instead of me and your sister."

"And you two, you treat a stranger better than your family members, and you even went to see that little girl. She deserved to fall into the water. You are so mean at such a young age!"

Sun Cui'e's words made Xu Lan frown. For the first time, she couldn't help but want to talk back to her mother-in-law.

Zhao Fanggang held her hand under the table, shook his head at her, and took the initiative to pick up a piece of pork ribs for Sun Cui'e: "Mom, you are wronging me. I am on your side and Yan Zi's side. If I am not on your side, I should help Yan Zi and Xiao Yue to be together. But Xiao Ye is also a soldier. If he is unhappy, he will sue Xiao Yue and Yan Zi, and Yan Zi will really go to jail."

"Brother, do you really think so?" Zhao Yan looked up at Zhao Fanggang: "Why do you seem to have changed all of a sudden?"

"What has changed? I have always been your brother. You are my only sister, so I will definitely stand by you."

"But Yan Zi, if you really want to be with Xiao Yue, it's okay, but you can't be impatient. You always go to him to make trouble. I'm also a man, I understand. You will only make Xiao Yue more and more annoyed with you. Look how gentle Xiao Ye is."

"Besides, Xiaoye and Xiaoyue have a child, and Yaya's grandparents like Yaya very much. If Xiaoyue really did something to let Xiaoye down, then his parents would definitely not want Xiaoyue."

Sun Cui'e curled her lips: "I think Xiaoyue's parents are confused. What's so important about a little girl? They even disowned their own son for that little girl."

"Mom, don't disbelieve it, it's really like this."

Zhao Fanggang picked up another piece of braised pork for Sun Cui'e, and then he put a lot of food in Zhao Yan's bowl: "Yanzi, you have to listen to what I say to you. I won't hurt you. You have to take your time in liking Xiaoyue. If you make him angry, not only will you suffer, but you will also cause trouble for me, understand?"

"Xiao Yue's father is a general. He can kick me out of the army with just one sentence. I can't even be a soldier. How can you get close to Xiao Yue?"

Zhao Yan's eyes flickered a few times, and she grinned at Zhao Fanggang: "Brother, you are right."

"Then you just listen to me."

At this time, Zhao Fanggang had already confirmed that the Zhao Yan in front of him was not his biological sister Zhao Yan.

If it was her sister Zhao Yan, it wouldn't be like this.

But who is this woman in front of me? And when did she disguise herself as her sister?

After dinner, Zhao Fanggang, Xu Lan and Zhao Lei went to the infirmary to see Yaya.

After leaving the corridor, Zhao Fanggang pulled Xu Lan and Zhao Lei into the dark.

"Dad, let's..."

Zhao Fanggang covered Zhao Lei's mouth, and then moved sideways to block Xu Lan tightly. He saw that Zhao Yan was indeed following them.

But she didn't see them, and seemed to realize something was wrong, so she quickly went back.

After she went back for a while, Zhao Fang just pulled Xu Lan and Zhao Lei out of their hiding place.

Xu Lan wisely didn't ask anything, and they went straight to the infirmary.

Yue Mingyuan, Ye Zhiqiu and Huo Jiusi were all guarding Yaya, and Dong Yuanbin and his lover were also there.

After the high fever, Yaya was in low spirits and looked listless, but she was still very polite and greeted and thanked people.

Such a bud is so pitiful.

"Leilei, you stay here with sister Yaya. I have something to talk to your mother and Uncle Yue about outside." Zhao Fanggang rubbed Zhao Lei's head and winked at Xu Lan.

The three of them came to the ward next to the infirmary, and Zhao Fanggang asked Xu Lan directly: "Lan Zi, do you feel that Yan Zi is not right?"

Xu Lan nodded: "Yes, I have felt it for a long time. I told you about it when I wrote to you, but you didn't take it seriously. I can't keep talking about it."

If she said too much, she was afraid that Zhao Fanggang would think that she had some opinion about his sister.

Zhao Fanggang slapped his head and said, "This is my fault!"

He remembered that this was indeed the case, and Xu Lan had mentioned it several times, but he was busy at that time and didn't pay much attention to it.

"Sister-in-law, when did you feel something was wrong? What happened to Zhao Yan that made you feel something was wrong with her?"

Yue Mingyuan looked at Xu Lan and said, "Sister-in-law, this matter is very important. Please think about it carefully and answer truthfully."

"Let me think about it carefully. Don't worry." Xu Lan realized something and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"When Yan Zi was about fifteen years old, not long after Gang Zi and I got married, she disappeared for a day and a night. But I only heard about this from the villagers later. Mom never mentioned it to me."

Xu Lan told the truth: "I don't know how to ask mom."

"But after that, I felt that Yan Zi was different from before."

"How can I put it? He still looks like the same person, but it just feels wrong."

"Lan Zi, have you noticed any unusual behavior from Yan Zi?" Zhao Fanggang asked Xu Lan.

Xu Lan thought for a moment and asked, "Does it count if it tastes good?"

"Swallows were delicious before, but they were different. Sometimes it was like I had never eaten that thing before."

"One time I brought some stinky tofu back home, and she insisted that I was trying to harm her by bringing her something rotten to eat."

"Even if you haven't eaten stinky tofu, you've heard of it. Uncle Zhang next door loves to eat it, so Yan Zi shouldn't be unfamiliar with it."
