Chapter 174 Labor Reform Farm
Kuncheng Public Security Bureau Interrogation Room
Lu Huailin pushed open the door, his sharp eyes sweeping over Qiao Shuhui, who was tied to a chair.
He walked up to her and asked, "Why did you switch children?"
Ever since Lu Huailin learned who was in charge behind the scenes, he has been completely baffled.
Because my wife has very little contact with Lin Yifei's ex-wife, I really can't understand what benefit she would get from switching the children.
After being caught red-handed by those veterans, Qiao Shuhui knew that Lu Huailin was behind it.
She squirmed in her chair, her eyes glaring frantically at Lu Huailin.
The jealousy in his eyes was impossible to control.
"Why can Gu Yihan live such a good life while I live such a miserable one?"
Lu Huailin was so angry he laughed. Just because his wife was doing well, did that mean she had to be the object of jealousy?
"What do you have to compare to my wife?"
Qiao Shuhui was furious when she heard this. Why was it that even with her interference, Gu Yihan still married a soldier and affected her fortune?
She couldn't even keep the baby in her womb, so why should Gu Yihan be able to give birth safely?
Lu Huailin didn't even need to ask; Qiao Shuhui was simply a madwoman whose mind was controlled by jealousy.
"You will pay the price for what you have done."
After Lu Huailin finished speaking, he walked out of the interrogation room and headed towards Director Fu's office.
Director Fu was sitting behind his desk when he saw Lu Huailin push open the door and enter.
She stood up, walked over to him, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "How do you want to handle this?"
Lu Huailin: "Send them to the most arduous farms for several years of reform."
Director Fu: "Isn't this too serious? Shi Lan will definitely be sentenced to prison and labor reform."
"Qiao Shuhui's attempt to instigate failed."
Lu Huailin's face was grim: "It didn't work because my wife is cautious."
“If it weren’t for Grandma Gu, my wife and son would have been ruined by her. Sending them to the farm for reform would have been too good for her.”
Director Fu couldn't help but twitch his lips. That farm was no place for humans to live; it was mostly inhabited by male labor prisoners.
If a woman like Qiao Shuhui were sent to a labor camp, her health would probably be ruined within a few years.
Director Fu sighed: "Alright, I'll help you."
As for Shi Lan, the midwife, Director Fu explained their investigation results in detail.
It turns out that Shi Lan was a nurse from another department. She was reported by a patient for being irresponsible in caring for the patient.
Head Nurse Cao transferred her to the obstetrics department as a midwife.
Not only is she morally questionable, but she is also greedy and has been bribed by several families who cannot give birth to boys. For money, she will help them switch the babies during childbirth.
Lu Huailin's face was extremely ugly. Because of her greed, her own child was almost switched.
Director Fu glanced at Lu Huailin and said seriously, "Two of the victims are military spouses from your military region."
Lu Huailin instructed Director Fu to find the switched child before notifying the child's parents, otherwise it would be a false alarm.
Director Fu glanced at Lu Huailin and sneered, "Having a son really makes a difference."
Lu Huailin didn't care about his mockery. After talking for a while, he said goodbye and left.
The next day
The first person in the family compound to hear the news was Zhang Xia, the wife of Deputy Battalion Commander Wang.
She felt nauseous while eating breakfast that morning, and Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother told her to go to the hospital immediately for a checkup to see if she was pregnant.
Walking down the hospital corridor, I could hear the nurses talking.
The nurse said, "Have you heard? Shi Lan was arrested for switching the baby with the mother's."
Another female nurse curled her lip: "I've disliked her for a long time. Not only did she harm herself, but she also dragged Head Nurse Cao into trouble."
"Sigh, don't even mention it. There are two unlucky military wives in the military region whose children were also switched by Shi Lan."
Zhang Xia heard the nurses talking about how some children had been switched, and even the military search in the military region had not been spared.
Considering that only Gu Yihan recently gave birth, does that mean the baby has been switched?
She was timid to begin with, and didn't dare to have the examination done, so she quickly left the hospital.
When Wang, the deputy nutritionist's mother, saw Zhang Xia return with a pale face, she assumed it was because the test results showed she wasn't pregnant.
He also reassured her, "It's alright, you're still young, you have plenty of time."
Zhang Xia grabbed her arm, her voice trembling slightly: "Mother, the son of Commander Lu might not be his."
Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother was stunned. She touched Zhang Xia's forehead in confusion. She didn't have a fever. What nonsense was she talking about?
He quickly rebuked, "The couple has a great relationship, how can you talk nonsense like that?"
Zhang Xia realized her mother-in-law had misunderstood, so she quickly told her what she had overheard at the hospital.
Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother glanced at Zhang Xia and asked doubtfully, "Is it true?"
She had heard from her son that Lu Huailin's wife had given birth to a boy.
Zhang Xia nodded repeatedly, pointing to her ear: "I heard it with my own ears."
Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother paced back and forth in the living room, a wave of emotion washing over her. She instructed Zhang Xia, "Don't go around saying anything, okay?"
Zhang Xia was also stunned: "Wouldn't that mean that Commander Lu's whole family would be kept in the dark?"
Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother glanced at her foolish daughter-in-law: "Are you stupid? If you could hear about this, how could others not know?"
"No matter what, these words must not leave our family."
Zhang Xia didn't understand why the news couldn't spread from their family, but she trusted her mother-in-law wouldn't harm her, so she quickly nodded in agreement.
Lu Huailin took advantage of his lunch break to go home.
Grandma Gu came out of the kitchen and saw him, smiling: "Xiao Han is still asleep. She seems to be sleepy these past few days."
Lu Huailin looked worried. His wife hadn't woken up when he left in the morning and was still sleeping. She must have hurt herself from giving birth.
"Grandma, I'm going in to check on my wife."
Grandma Gu smiled and nodded to Lu Huailin, urging him, "Go in and take a look quickly."
Lu Huailin tiptoed to the bedside, looking tenderly at the sleeping mother and child, whose little faces were flushed.
Gu Yihan opened her eyes groggily. She was woken up by the heat. It was the middle of July, and she was suffering a lot during her postpartum period. She couldn't open the window or wash her hair.
When Lu Huailin saw that his wife had opened her eyes, he quickly made her a cup of brown sugar water and put it in the cool water to cool down.
Waited for a while
Lu Huailin handed a glass of brown sugar water to his wife: "Wife, have some water."
Gu Yihan reached out and took the brown sugar water, took a sip, and found it to be just the right temperature, neither too hot nor too cold.
"I never expected that the baby would change so much in just a few days," Gu Yihan said.
Lu Huailin smiled at the child: "He looks a lot like me, but his skin might be like yours."
Gu Yihan smiled and looked at Lu Huailin: "How come you had time to come back this afternoon?"
"I'll be back in a bit." Lu Huailin walked to the bedside, bent down and kissed her cheek: "I missed you, so I came back to see you."
Gu Yihan glanced at Lu Huailin. She knew him perfectly well. He must have fallen asleep when he came back last night and hadn't woken up before leaving this morning. This man must have been worried.
