She knew the two children were clever, and they joined her in persuading Song Zhaodi.

Yueyue giggled and hid behind her: "No, it wasn't me. When we went out to play today, a lot of kids had candy to eat, and some even shared some with me and my brother. Mom taught us to reciprocate, didn't she?"

Shu Ying's eyes held a hint of a smile: "Then when Mom has time, I'll take you to the mall to buy a box of candy. But you can't eat too much, or black worms will grow in your teeth."

The two little ones danced with joy.

Song Zhaodi carefully put the money away: "I'll take this money for now. If you need to buy anything later, you can take more money from me. I don't usually spend much money. You manage the house very well, so there's nothing I need to buy."

She and Shu Ying were not related, yet the man opened his heart to her the moment they met, which made her feel really bad.

Shu Ying didn't say anything more.

Song Zhaodi had been living in dire straits for a long time. Now that she had finally escaped that hellhole and arrived in a new environment, it was inevitable that she would feel a little uncomfortable.

Whether it's the people she's currently interacting with or the things she'll be doing in the future, she needs time to get to know them.

At the same time, at the entrance of the family compound.

Looking weak, Zhong Yun'er held the child, crying with tears streaming down her face.

"Comrade, this is my identification and a letter of introduction from my unit. I just received a notification yesterday that my husband, Wei Chengping, has died in the line of duty?"

Her voice trembled; the rope always breaks at its thinnest point, and misfortune always finds its way to the unfortunate.

Not only did her child have problems, but she was also told that her husband had died before she even finished her postpartum confinement period.

Although there would be a large sum of compensation, she was a woman with no one to rely on. The most important thing now was to find Duan Huaichuan immediately!

They were childhood sweethearts, and if Duan Huaichuan knew, he certainly wouldn't have the heart to let her shoulder the burden of life alone.

The guard took all the documents from Zhong Yun'er's hand and carefully verified her identity information before responding.

"Please wait here for a moment, we'll get back to our superiors right away."

Zhong Yun'er wiped away her tears, held the child in her arms, and sat down beside him, looking vulnerable and innocent.

Its pitiful appearance drew extra glances from passersby.

She has no one to rely on now. If Duan Huaichuan were still alive, she wouldn't have to take care of this disabled child alone.

He was her only way out.

Because of their failed attempt to switch children, Zhong Yun'er's parents have been arrested and are unlikely to be released.

Thanks to her mother, Wei Juan, who came up with a quick idea, she said that she had suffered a severe blow when she was pregnant and now has mental problems, so exchanging children was not her own wish.

Everyone had already witnessed Zhong Yun'er's depraved and insane behavior when they went to the police station.

Although this incident did not cause any major uproar, its social impact was negative.

The police station was unwilling to close the case like this, so Wei Juan anxiously took all the blame and actively cooperated with the police station to conduct a mental evaluation for Zhong Yun'er.

When the psychiatric evaluation came out, Wei Juan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Officers, look, my daughter is under a lot of pressure during her pregnancy. She can’t handle any stimulation now. Someone must have said something to her about what happened that day. My daughter is usually very well-behaved. She hasn’t even finished her postpartum confinement. Please, for the sake of her becoming a mother, give her a way out.”
