On the surveillance footage.
Zhang Dong and Deng Peng went out together.
At that time, Pei Wanwan and Zhang Qingqing had just finished discussing the child's nickname. After they went out, they wanted to visit Yue Yue and the child, hoping that moving around more would be beneficial for the delivery.
As soon as the two sisters got out of bed, the little boy in bed number one started yelling, saying he was hungry and wanted milk powder.
The family didn't seem particularly poor in terms of clothing, but the old lady was clearly a shrewd person. With a quick glance, she set her sights on Zhang Qingqing and her friends' milk powder.
That sounds nice, but the child can't eat much, so just make one cup.
The new mother then spoke up, saying that she had no milk and hoped that she could give more so that her youngest son could also have a taste of milk.
See? They haven't even agreed yet, but they're already drinking one cup after another.
They didn't bring any bottles, so are they trying to borrow bottles to feed the baby?
How is that possible?
Pei Wanwan and Zhang Qingqing hadn't had a child yet, and the milk powder bags they brought were unopened, so they politely declined and put the milk powder in the drawer.
This is perfectly normal.
Other people's children haven't even had a chance to eat yet, why should strangers benefit from it?
The mother and daughter felt humiliated and were unhappy, so they didn't say anything on the spot. After the two walked out the door, the old lady immediately went to get the milk powder. The drawer was not locked, and the old lady easily got it.
As the sisters guessed, they also took both baby bottles.
Just as they were about to tear open the packaging, the two sisters turned around and did something unexpected.
The baby formula and bottles were stolen, and the two were very angry.
Pei Wanwan said coldly, "Return the formula and bottle, and I may not pursue the matter further."
The little rascal was about to drink sweet milk powder, so how could he be willing? He threw a marble at Pei Wanwan, then covered his head and rammed his head against Pei Wanwan's stomach.
A four- or five-year-old boy can have extraordinary strength when he has a fit of madness.
Pei Wanwan tried to dodge, but stepped on a marble. Despite her attempts to grab something, she couldn't steady her heavy body and fell backward.
After Zhang Qingqing came in, she went to check the drawer. When she heard the scream, she turned around and was so frightened that her heart stopped. Her face turned pale and she clutched her stomach as she tried to pull the person away.
But with a bed between them and her heavy belly, she didn't have time to react. In a panic, she scattered the things on the table, ran out, and accidentally stepped on a marble, causing her to fall.
The family of three watched helplessly as the elderly woman lay on the ground groaning in pain. Instead of seeking medical help, the old woman closed the door, afraid that passersby would see her.
"It's not our fault, you fell down on your own."
The new mother even said they were faking it, saying, "I've been pregnant twice, I know that falling won't cause any serious harm. Get up, we can just return the formula."
Because of that remark, the brat actually threw a baby bottle at Pei Wanwan, who was closest to him.
"No, the milk powder is mine, but you can have the bottle back."
The bottle hit her stomach and bounced away. The old lady muttered that she would return it after the two children had finished drinking their milk powder. When she went to pick up the bottle, she was shocked to see the blood under Pei Wanwan's body.
When they saw Zhang Qingqing lying unconscious in a pool of blood, the mother and daughter truly panicked.
Pei Wanwan begged them to call a doctor; her voice was already very weak.
The mother and daughter were frightened.
"Mom, what should we do? What if something happens to them and we get blamed?"
“We didn’t touch them, they fell on their own, what does it have to do with us?”
"But, but my son's marbles..."
"Don't talk nonsense. They just didn't see clearly. It has nothing to do with my grandson."
"Are there any marbles on the ground? No marbles."
The mother and daughter ignored Pei Wanwan's cries for help, and the old lady even climbed up and down to pick up all the marbles.
At that moment, the door was pushed open, and the two were so frightened that they dared not utter a sound.
The person who entered was horrified by the blood everywhere, and when he learned the ridiculous reason that had caused such a tragedy, he shuddered violently.
"Are you guys crazy? You'd go to such lengths over a bag of baby formula..."
“Son-in-law, isn’t it because you took all the money? The child was just greedy. He’s so young, what does he know?”
The visitor retorted, "I was going to buy goods, all for the sake of this family."
"This is not the time to talk about this. If they die, you will have no son." The old woman felt a chill run down her spine.
She really didn't expect things to turn out this way. If something really happened, not only her grandson would be doomed, but she would be too. She was the one who went to get the milk powder.
"Dad, it's not my fault. It's her fault for not giving me milk powder. Dad, Mom, let's go. I don't want to stay here."
"Yes, Xiong-ge, they fell on their own, it has nothing to do with our son."
The pregnant woman, who kept saying that she wouldn't be hurt if she fell, is still shirking responsibility at this point.
Instead of chatting, they would have gone to the nurses' station to ask a nurse for help.
Pei Wanwan felt despair, and the light in her eyes dimmed inch by inch.
The man's head was buzzing, he had no idea what to do, and he was drenched in cold sweat. Pei Wanwan's unconsciousness was the signal that the string in his heart had snapped.
He reached out to check Pei Wanwan's faint breath, but ultimately chose to flee. The old lady and the new mother also ran away in a panic, carrying their babies and bundles.
None of the three adults had any conscience and called for a doctor or nurse. They even took the formula with them, only returning two bottles and throwing them on the table.
The man who came in was Yu Haixiong.
Because of poor sales and being mistreated at the mall, he was not a kind person to begin with. He was also afraid because Pei Wanwan and Zhang Qingqing had lost too much blood, so he completely unleashed the demon in his heart.
A person can be unkind, but if they lose their moral compass, they truly don't deserve to be called a human being.
"Brother Lin, sister-in-law, Guagua, do you know him?"
