Tang Suxiang said angrily, "Su'e, Hanwen kindly paid out of his own pocket to go to the county town to fetch a doctor for you, and now that something has happened, you're blaming everything on my Hanwen. You're being so unfair!"
"Fifth Sister, there are some things I've wanted to say for a long time. Even if Hanwen has a conflict with his second uncle, you can't let an anesthesiologist impersonate a doctor. Isn't that deliberately trying to kill Qiuxue?"
Tang Suxiang and Tang Su'e started arguing again, each trying to shift the blame onto the other.
On the surface, the two women seemed to have a good relationship, often coming up with ideas together on how to frame Song Erzhuang's family and how to deal with Zhou Qiaoyun, but they also harbored resentment towards each other.
Old Man Tang favored Tang Su'e, which made Tang Suxiang unhappy for a long time.
Tang Suxiang, a married woman, ran back to her parents' home to borrow money but didn't know how to repay it. Tang Su'e didn't say anything, but she was dissatisfied.
Everything in the Tang family will belong to her son and daughter in the future; Tang Suxiang is essentially borrowing money from her son and daughter and not paying it back.
Qiao Guilan rushed forward, crying, and grabbed Song Qiuxue. "Qiuxue, say something! Look at your father, his face covered in blood because of you. Do you know how hard it was for us to save money to send you to school? Why did you do this? Why didn't you come home to your parents when something happened?"
Old Tang pushed Qiao Guilan away, "Don't pressure Qiu Xue. If you really treated Qiu Xue well, would she not come home to you when something happens?"
Qiao Guilan felt heartbroken. She had raised her for eighteen years, yet she was treated worse than a stranger for a few days.
"Qiuxue is my daughter, how could I treat her badly? Among all their children, she's the only one who went to university. Aren't we good enough to her?"
Qiao Guilan felt guilty for burning her son's college admission notice so that Qiuxue could go to school.
Song Qiuxue cried, feeling wronged, "That's because I'm excellent. My second brother failed to get into university on his own, it has nothing to do with me..."
Snap!
Song Erzhuang, his face covered in blood, rushed over and slapped Song Qiuxue hard across the face.
All the family's money was spent on her.
To ensure she could continue her studies, he personally burned his son's college acceptance letter.
She's saying it has nothing to do with her now?
Such a big thing happened, and instead of going home to find her parents, she came to find an outsider like her great-uncle!
Old Tang, enraged, slapped Song Erzhuang several times. "Who told you to hit Qiu Xue? Who told you to hit her? If you touch Qiu Xue again, see how I deal with you!"
"Qiuxue is my daughter. I'm disciplining her, what's it to you? Even if I beat her to death, it's none of your business!" Song Erzhuang shoved Old Man Tang aside and reached for Song Qiuxue. "You're coming home with me now, and you can forget about your studies!"
"Let go of Qiu Xue!" Old Tang stepped forward and desperately tried to stop him.
Seeing that Song Qiuxue was about to be taken away by Song Erzhuang, Old Man Tang could no longer bear it and shouted, "Qiuxue is my son Youliang's own daughter, not yours. You have no right to take her away!"
The entire ward fell silent instantly.
Song Yinhua, standing outside the ward, was filled with shock; the mystery in her heart seemed to become clear in an instant.
In her past life, Song Qiuxue was very close to her aunt and uncle's family. During summer and winter vacations and Chinese New Year, Song Qiuxue would go back to her uncle's house.
Even when Qiu Xue got married, when the bride's parents were invited to the stage, it was her uncle and aunt who went up.
The uncle's family attended as the bride's family members.
Song Qiuxue and Tang Su'e had a relationship as close as mother and daughter.
She always thought that Song Qiuxue was so close to them because she had been admitted to a university in the provincial capital and would stay there in the future, thus becoming a city dweller.
It turns out that Song Qiuxue was originally a member of their family; she was the granddaughter of their great-uncle.
From a young age, Song Qiuxue looked neither like her father nor her mother, but rather resembled her uncle's daughter, Song Erniu.
Because my father and my eldest uncle are brothers.
At that time, everyone in the village thought that Qiu Xue and Er Niu looked so alike because they resembled their respective fathers, and no one doubted Song Qiu Xue's background.
Hearing her great-uncle's words, she realized that Erniu looked most like her aunt, while Qiuxue resembled the Tang family.
At that moment, Song Erzhuang's roar came from the ward: "Qiuxue is my daughter, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Song Yinhua already knew in her heart that her old uncle hadn't been talking nonsense.
At this moment, all the things she had been unable to understand had their answers.
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Old Man Tang glanced at the people present and decided to tell the truth.
If we don't speak out now, things will get out of hand.
“Qiuxue is my son Youliang and his wife’s daughter, not your child. You can’t take Qiuxue away.”
"Bullshit!" Song Erzhuang would never believe such nonsense. "How did Qiu Xue, born after my wife carried her for ten months, become yours?"
Tang Suxiang and her son secretly slipped away.
As soon as they opened the ward door, a majestic black wolfhound bared its teeth and lunged at them, startling Tang Suxiang so much that she quickly closed the door.
"Your sister-in-law changed it herself back then!" To protect his own interests, Old Man Tang never cared about the daughters who got married.
Everyone in the ward turned to look at Tang Suxiang.
Qiao Guilan couldn't understand it. "It shouldn't be like this. Qiu Xue has never left me since she was born. How could my sister-in-law replace my third son?"
"When you gave birth to your third child at home, Erzhuang first went to ask your sister-in-law to come and help, and then went to ask the midwife." Old Tang recounted the events of that year. "At that time, the midwife hadn't arrived yet when your third child was born. When your sister-in-law was wrapping up the baby, she took the opportunity to switch with a girl who had grain. You were too tired after giving birth and fell asleep."
“You can tell from a newborn baby. I remember when I woke up, the baby looked like a newborn, with a piece of umbilical cord still on its belly button.” Qiao Guilan couldn’t believe that the child she had raised with her own hands wasn’t her own.
"Qiuxue was born on the same day as your third child, but only a few hours earlier."
Zhou Qiaoyun: "So, my daughter isn't dead?"
She looked at Song Qiuxue, and all her dislike for Song Qiuxue vanished instantly.
"Qiuxue, are you really my daughter?! The daughter I didn't even have a chance to see before she was taken away?"
Zhou Qiaoyun was so moved that tears streamed down her face.
For the past eighteen years, she has cried every time she thinks of this child.
I've cried all my tears out.
Qiao Guilan, who was always timid and hesitant, rushed forward and stood in front of Zhou Qiaoyun, "No, this is my third son, not your daughter!"
“My father-in-law said that Qiu Xue is my own daughter, and your third son was drowned by Tang Su’e by being forced into a chamber pot.”
Tang Su'e quickly denied it, refusing to acknowledge that the third daughter had drowned Song Erzhuang.
"You said it yourself, that you drowned that child by pushing him into the chamber pot. Since Qiu Xue is my daughter, then wasn't the one pushed into the chamber pot the third son of Er Zhuang's family?"
A murderous glint appeared in Song Erzhuang's eyes. His fists were clenched tightly. His face was covered in blood, and his clothes were stained red, making him look quite gruesome.
Tang Su'e didn't want to cause trouble, but Song Erzhuang could beat her to death with one arm: "I was just saying that in anger. Back then, the matter of exchanging Erzhuang's third son was discussed by Dad and Fifth Sister. I didn't know anything about it."
