“It was Song Weidong who did it.” Lu Zhixia looked at Dr. Ma and continued, “Because our blood types are completely incompatible with the blood type of our current child, and there is scientific evidence to support this.”
"How could this happen?" Ma Jianguo was completely baffled. Then he thought that more girls were born in those days, so it was possible that the nurse had made a mistake.
"So what do you want to do now? Do you want to hold the hospital responsible? To be honest, so many years have passed, I can't even remember what features the child had." Thinking about how many children she had delivered over the years, she suddenly sighed, "If I remember correctly, your daughter should be 10 years old now! I've been an obstetrician and gynecologist for 10 years."
"What! A daughter?" Lu Zhixia grasped the key point. "You mean I gave birth to a girl back then!"
Ma Jianguo: "Yes! It's a girl, is there a problem?"
Lu Zhixia jumped up abruptly, wanting to ask more questions, but seeing the people around her looking at her, she could only sit back down.
"Dr. Ma, think about it again. Are you sure I gave birth to a girl?"
“What’s there to reminisce about? All the babies born those days were girls, and you were the second woman I delivered, so I remember you quite well. You almost died from severe bleeding!” Ma Jianguo then realized, “Could it be that you had a boy?”
Lu Zhixia said, "It's a boy and he looks a lot like Song Weidong, so I never suspected anything until recently when we were going through a divorce. I learned from my child that I wasn't his biological mother. Then I took him to the hospital to have his blood type checked, and that's how I found out."
Ma Jianguo was shocked when he heard this. This was too absurd. How could such a thing happen?
Gu Lingxiao brought over a tray with rice on it. The vegetables and fish were ready to cook quickly, so he brought them over first.
He noticed the awkward atmosphere between them as soon as he arrived, and knew that the conversation had probably already started, so he put the items on the table one by one.
When Ma Jianguo saw the food, he lost his appetite and instead became more gossipy. "So, is this child his child with someone else?"
Lu Zhixia said, "I'm not sure about that, but in terms of appearance, if you're not related to him by blood, you wouldn't look that similar."
Ma Jianguo has been through a lot, but what happened today will stay with him for the rest of his life.
"Don't rush, let's go through this again. You gave birth to a girl back then, and then he switched the baby with another one, making you raise the child for about 10 years until you recently found out. Isn't that the process?"
Lu Zhixia nodded, and then she saw Dr. Ma slam his hand on the table.
"That man is a beast! I thought he was a loving husband back then, but he tricked me!" Ma Jianguo said angrily. "Because of the fight with him, I was disciplined, and many of the benefits we had agreed upon were gone. Later, I had no choice but to transfer from that hospital to a more remote place. It took me several more years to get here as a doctor. I can say that I suffered a lot in the process, and all of this was because of a fight with him!"
As Lu Zhixia listened to his indignant words, her own heart was also in turmoil.
Suspicion is one thing, but once it's confirmed, you'll want to eat his flesh and drink his blood!
Gu Lingxiao seized the opportunity to say, "If we sue him for switching the child, would you be willing to testify in court for us?"
Ma Jianguo hesitated because his job was as a doctor, and he understood the intricacies of the situation better.
Song Weidong's act of switching the children would have been impossible without someone helping him tamper with the records.
They had a fight back then, and he stopped reflecting on his actions in the dormitory. By the time he went to work, they had already left the hospital.
He didn't know what happened after that. If he were to expose his past now, would he also implicate the hospital?
"Let me think about this some more; it's a big deal."
Lu Zhixia opened his mouth to say something, but then swallowed it back. From his perspective, he really needed to think it over carefully; haste makes waste.
Gu Lingxiao went back and brought the ribs and twice-cooked pork over to the table, then sat down next to Lu Zhixia.
Seeing that neither of them had touched their chopsticks, and Ma Jianguo sitting on pins and needles, he wanted to leave, but couldn't. With intellectuals like these, only gentle words could suffice, so he began to speak...
"Dr. Ma, let's eat first."
Ma Jianguo looked at the pork ribs, twice-cooked pork, and braised fish on the table—all dishes he usually couldn't bear to eat. He felt embarrassed to eat this meal if he didn't agree to their request.
It feels like I've tripped over my own feet. What should I do?
"Dr. Ma, let's talk after we finish eating," Lu Zhixia said, then picked up her chopsticks and started eating ribs, eating them with great gusto and loudly.
Just because it was a girl, Song Weidong switched the babies; he was so heartless.
In the 1970s, the idea of having many children was promoted, and many people were inherently sexist. Whenever she thought about her daughter not being well, she felt heartbroken and couldn't control herself.
Tears welled up involuntarily and dripped into the rice bowl.
Ma Jianguo had just taken a couple of bites of food when he looked up and saw this scene, and he also began to feel sad.
Thinking that they had been separated from their children for more than ten years, and that he, as a doctor, would not stand up if he did not act like a human being.
Thinking of this, he said, "I am willing to testify, and I will attend whenever you need me to. However, I cannot do so as a doctor, as I do not want to implicate the hospital."
Hearing him say that, Lu Zhixia quickly wiped away her tears. "I will not hold the hospital responsible. This whole thing was planned by Song Weidong. I will hold him accountable and make him reveal the whereabouts of the child."
