Lin Ying glared at Aunt Chun and said irritably, "What's the use of saying all this now? We'll settle the score with you properly once we find the child."

As everyone was talking, a commotion suddenly broke out outside, and several young men led in a strange woman. The woman was dressed in simple clothes, her hair was somewhat disheveled, and her face was full of anxiety.

One of the young men said, "The village chief told us to bring this person over first. She is Xing'er's mother-in-law. We intercepted her at the village entrance. She was planning to sneak off to town."

Lin Ying strode forward, grabbed the woman by the collar, and roared angrily, "Where did you hide my child? You heartless old woman, you're willing to sell your own grandson, are you even human?!"

The woman trembled with fear and stammered, "I... I didn't hide your child, I... I don't know what you're talking about."

Li Yue'e sneered from the side, "Hmph, still being stubborn. Wait until the village chief and the others come back from Xiaxi Village and put the evidence in front of you, then let's see how you still argue!"

Upon hearing this, the woman's face turned even paler, and she knelt down on the ground with a thud, beginning to sob: "I have no choice. My family is poor, and my eldest son has many children, so expenses are high. I was thinking of selling this newborn grandson to get some money to supplement the family income. I'm doing this for the good of the family."

Upon hearing her words, everyone burst into a tirade: "For the good of the family? You're committing a heinous crime!"

"What kind of grandmother are you? You're absolutely heartless!"

Just then, footsteps sounded in the distance. Everyone looked over and saw the village chief and his group rushing back. Lin Ying's heart jumped into her throat; she didn't know if the child had been found...
