The crying went from heart-wrenching at the beginning to getting softer and softer at the end. Ma Desheng could no longer wait and rushed in.
"Who are you?" A man holding a kerosene lamp came out after hearing the noise outside. He paused slightly when he saw the group of people.
"Where's my daughter?" Ma Desheng ignored the man and rushed into the house.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to steal the child?" The man saw Yan Zi's mother behind him and knew who they were. The child had already been replaced, so what were they going to do next?
Ma Desheng heard the crying in the house and wanted to go in anxiously, but the man was strong and stopped him after he struggled several times.
"Bang" Ren Jingxiao couldn't bear it anymore, so he walked over and picked up the man with one hand and threw him aside.
Everyone looked at Ren Jingxiao in horror. Ma Desheng paused and then rushed into the house.
"Hurry up, someone is trying to snatch the child! Hurry up, someone is trying to snatch the child!" An old woman wearing a headscarf in the room shouted loudly when she saw something was wrong.
The quiet Hushan Brigade suddenly became noisy. First, a few families nearby came, and then the entire brigade gradually came.
"Captain, you have to stand up for our family. These people came to my house to snatch my child." The woman cried to the captain of the Hushan Brigade.
"Who are you? How dare you come to our Hushan Brigade to cause trouble?" The captain of the Hushan Brigade had no doubts and planned to call people to drive them out.
"No, the one in my arms is their child. I foolishly wanted to change it for a boy, but my son-in-law disagreed. We want to change it back."
"Yes, the one in my mother's arms is theirs. Give our child to us. We are not here to steal the child."
Yan Zi's mother and sister-in-law became anxious when they saw this group of people. They knew that these teams were on the side of their own team.
They are weak and powerless, and nothing good can come of them.
"Exchange for a boy? Who has a boy to exchange with you? Ours is a girl. The child you are holding might have some problems. Are you trying to exchange for our good child?"
The woman rolled her eyes and refused to admit it. She was extremely annoyed as she looked at the crying child in her arms.
"Didn't the Cheng family give birth to a girl? Where did they get a boy to exchange for it?"
"That's right! If it's a boy, who would be willing to trade him? These people must be trying to blackmail us. There must be something wrong with their child, and they want to raise a good kid instead, right?"
The members of the Hushan Brigade treated Ren Jingxiao and his group very badly.
They thought that these people must have heard that the Cheng family's child lost his mother when he was born and felt that no one loved the child, so they came to bully them.
Would the people from the Hushan Brigade allow themselves to be bullied by outsiders? They all looked at Ren Jingxiao and the others with angry glares.
"No, we just came here to exchange the child. This family gave birth to a son, and we paid ten dollars in exchange for the child!"
Seeing that they refused to admit it and were even blaming others, Sister Yan Zi was so angry that she wanted to take action because the people in this team were so unreasonable.
"What are you going to do? If you cause trouble in our team, don't blame us for bullying the minority."
Seeing that she was about to take action, the captain of the Hushan Brigade had someone stop her and gave a final warning to several people.
If they don't leave, they will take action. As soon as the captain finished speaking, the people of Hushan Brigade looked at Ren Jingxiao and his group angrily.
Old Mrs. Cheng felt relieved. Humph, he wanted to fight with her without even asking what kind of family the Cheng family was. Would they allow outsiders to bully them?
"In that case, let's go. We'll come back tomorrow with the police, and then we'll know who's right and who's wrong."
"Captain, you don't know that these children are twins. They look exactly the same."
"As long as we bring another child here tomorrow, the truth will be clear, and you will be accomplices."
"I believe that the public security comrades will not wrongly accuse any good person, nor will they let any bad person go."
Ren Jingxiao looked for a long time and knew that no matter what the truth was, no one would believe them on someone else's territory.
But do they think that the brigade will definitely protect their family just because they are in their own brigade?
Ren Jingxiao knew best the selfishness of human nature. No one would be so selfless when it came to matters concerning themselves.
"Young man, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by accomplice? We don't know anything. Isn't this the Cheng family's family affair?"
"That's right, you guys should solve your own problems, it has nothing to do with us."
The members of the Hushan Brigade were suddenly panicked when they heard Ren Jingxiao say something about reporting to the police.
They also said that the child had two sticks, which didn't seem like a lie. They were confused about what was going on.
However, when they heard him say "accomplice", no one was willing to admit it. It was none of their business, so how could they be accomplices?
"Comrade, please don't say anything careless. You were the ones who started the trouble in our brigade. We just stopped you. As for your relationship with the Cheng family, you should handle it yourselves. We won't get involved."
The captain of the Hushan Brigade was a smart man and immediately changed his tone.
He came just to stop them from causing trouble in Hushan Brigade, not to interfere in the affairs of their two families.
"Since the captain said so, we are not the kind of people who don't want to teach. We want our own child. The Cheng family's daughter-in-law gave birth to a boy and said it was a girl so that her good-for-nothing son could marry her again in the future."
"We had a pair of girls born here. The children's grandmother knew that this family wanted to exchange the girls, so she brought the children here secretly without telling anyone and just swapped them."
"Who would want to raise someone else's son if he's not their own? When he grows up, won't he want to recognize his ancestors?"
"We just want our child back. Is that wrong? The Cheng family doesn't admit to swapping the child, let alone taking the money. But I also said that this child is a twin, and there's another one in the family who looks exactly like him."
"If the police come tomorrow, the truth will be revealed about who lied. If your team gets a bad reputation because of the Cheng family, you can't blame us."
Ren Jingxiao explained everything in a few words, and even involved the interests of the brigade in this matter.
The Black Mountain Brigade taught him many things, but the most profound one was that only when one cuts one's own flesh does one know the pain.
"Comrade, is everything you said true?" The captain looked at Ren Jingxiao, then at the panicked Cheng family members. He knew in his heart that what this man said must be true.
"Whether it's true or not, you'll find out tomorrow when the police arrive. But if something like this happens in your team, it'll be known all over the place!"
Ren Jingxiao's words seemed to add fuel to the fire. Everyone was extremely angry but did not dare to get angry.
