Chapter 1455 A Woman Who Makes a Scene
After settling Chu Xue in, Fu Yancheng glared coldly at the woman: "Who are you?"
The woman pointed to the still unconscious child on the ground: "I am his mother."
Fu Yancheng's expression grew even colder: "Is this how you act as a mother? Your son's life hangs in the balance, and you come here to cause trouble. What are you up to?"
Soldiers generally have good hearing, so he naturally heard the discussions in the crowd.
Perhaps it was because Fu Yancheng's aura was too strong, the woman said with a guilty look, "I came here as soon as I heard the news. He came to play by the river by himself, how could I control him?"
Just as the woman finished speaking, the paramedics stopped: "The child isn't breathing."
Upon hearing this, the woman cried out, "How is that possible?"
She pointed to the few who had been revived: "They're all fine, so why did something happen to my family? Let me tell you, if anything really happens to my child, you'll have to pay for it."
Someone couldn't stand it anymore: "Hey, Mr. Zhang, they've made a mistake while trying to save someone, and so many people are watching. Stop acting like a jerk. This isn't some trivial matter between neighbors. Try acting like a jerk."
"So my son, who's all grown up, is just gone like that?"
"Alright, stop trying to cause trouble. You should call your family over right away and see how to handle this."
The woman was terrified. She knelt down and personally placed her hand under the child's nose: "My God, he's really not breathing. How am I supposed to explain this to my family?"
Someone started crying: "This child has such a hard life. First he had a stepmother, then a stepfather, and then he was always hungry. He probably couldn't stand the hunger anymore and tried to catch fish to eat, which is why he fell into the river."
Qi Fuying's wife, who was holding her son, was trembling with fear.
Seeing her like this, Sister Tao went up to take the child from her arms, but Deputy Battalion Commander Qi's wife refused to let go.
Seeing her like this, Sister Tao said, "The child is still wet. You should go home and give the child a hot bath first, so the child doesn't catch a cold."
Upon receiving the news, Deputy Battalion Commander Qi rushed over. Seeing his wife's condition, he comforted her for a while before finally taking his son from her arms: "We'll talk about it later. I'll take them back first."
The little boy whose parents hadn't come earlier was wearing a neighbor's clothes. His mother, who had rushed over, hugged him tightly: "Son, thank God, you're alright, or I wouldn't be able to live anymore."
Chu Xue glanced at the child on the ground who couldn't be saved, and felt a pang of sadness.
Fu Yancheng was afraid she would feel uncomfortable: "Wife, you are still pregnant, I will take you home first."
Unexpectedly, the child's stepmother, seeing everyone about to leave, said: "You all stop right there! My son is dead, and you're just going to leave like this? You have to explain how the child fell in!"
At this moment, Ye Mingli, the commander of the Third Regiment who had arrived earlier than Fu Yancheng and his men, spoke up: "Let them take the child back to change clothes first. We will investigate this matter."
The woman wouldn't listen: "No, if you're going to investigate, do it now, right here. What if you all collude and my child's life is lost for nothing?"
At this point, someone angrily said, "What you're saying is interesting. What do you mean by 'we're in cahoots'? It's as if we've harmed your child!"
The woman retorted, "I don't care. All the other children who fell in are fine, only my child is gone. You have to give me an explanation."
