Lin Minjun touched her belly and was unable to react for a moment, "Brother, who do you think is the real one?"
Yan Li: "I don't know either, but I heard a story about a baby being taken away by someone. The biological mother and the adoptive mother went to court together, both claiming that the child was their own. Someone then came up with an idea, saying that since both of you claim to have given birth to the child, you should each grab one side of the child, and whoever wins will get the child. Imagine, the child was pulled in both directions, crying in pain, and one of the women let go. In fact, that was the child's biological mother, and it was a piece of her flesh that had fallen off her body, so it was natural for her to cry and feel pain."
"You mean, the leader surnamed Huo is my father?" Lin Minjun looked down at her belly and put herself in his shoes. If her own child was pregnant, she would not be willing to give her such a big shock all of a sudden.
Bah, bah, bah, her baby won't get lost.
Lin Minjun's mind was in a mess. She didn't know what to do and didn't know which one was her father.
When I looked up, I saw that Yan Li's expression was still very complicated.
"Is there something you haven't told me?"
Yan stood up and said, "No more."
Lin Minjun held his hand and suddenly realized something was wrong. "No, there must be something else. You used to look me in the eyes when you spoke, but you didn't dare to look me in the eyes just now. What happened?"
She held Yan Li and refused to let him go, "What happened? You've aroused my curiosity."
"Ajun, I can't tell you this now. Your body can't bear it." Yan Li had no choice but to say.
But Lin Minjun had already discovered something, and she was getting even more uncomfortable from being so nervous. She shook Yan Li's arm, "I swear I won't get too excited or angry. Just tell me, or I won't be able to sleep well tonight."
The situation went on like this until Yan Li finished cleaning up and finally compromised with Lin Minjun.
He first went to pour Lin Minjun a glass of water, "You have to promise me that you won't get angry or lose your temper after listening to this, and you have to control your emotions."
"Come on, tell me what's going on?"
Yan Li took a deep breath and said, "The leader also told me that when he found out about your daughter's existence, he went back to investigate and interview the locals. The locals said that your mother, Lin Wan, died of a difficult labor."
Lin Minjun nodded, "Yes, that's what I know. My mother died of heavy bleeding during childbirth."
"But after investigating for some time, the leader believes that Lin Wan's death was not an accident. It is very likely that Wang Qiuhua is the biggest suspect. At that time, Wang Qiuhua was also sent to Yunnan. She had a very good relationship with Lin Wan. You could say that they were like sisters. When Lin Wan gave birth, only Wang Qiuhua was by her side. Later, when Lin Wan passed away, Wang Qiuhua returned to the capital and never went back to pay tribute to your mother, nor did she pay attention to you."
After Yan Li finished speaking, he kept observing Lin Minjun's reaction, fearing that she would not be able to accept this stimulation and would harm her own body.
Lin Minjun saw his nervous expression and forced a smile, "I'm fine."
She asked, "Wang Qiuhua, is that Wang Qiuhua, the proprietress of Huguo Hotel? She's the woman who came to toast us at our wedding."
"That's her."
"It's her." Lin Minjun nodded, and her face was blank for a moment. She didn't know what to say or what expression to make.
Her mind went blank, and for the first time she realized that her mother might have been murdered.
She lost her mother when she was born and was sent to live with her uncle, so she always thought her mother's death was an accident. But now she knows that this matter is not simple.
Lin Minjun felt very sad just thinking about it. She had only seen her mother in photos. If her mother were still alive in heaven, she would be very sad to know that she was killed by someone who was as close as a sister to her.
At this time, Yan Li said, "The leader told me that Wang Qiuhua is going to take this opportunity to go abroad with Jiang Yanqing. Currently, there is no extradition treaty between our country and Southeast Asia. That is to say, once she goes abroad, even if the truth of that year is found out, we can only watch her get away with it. I am going to Yunnan this time to investigate this matter, find evidence, and make Wang Qiuhua plead guilty."
"But Jiang Yanqing will only stay in the country for seven days and then leave." Lin Minjun said in a muffled voice.
"I will go and come back quickly, and try to be back within seven days."
Lin Minjun saw Yan Li off and when she came back it was already dark. Aunt Cao boiled some hot water and Lin Minjun took some cool water to wash her feet, then climbed into bed.
That night, Lin Minjun tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She still couldn't calm down. Two problems kept fighting in her mind.
She first wondered who her father was, Jiang Yanqing or the leader named Huo?
Also, Wang Qiuhua looked very friendly. When I got married, she came over to toast and said many congratulatory words. She didn't look like a murderer at all. Did she really kill her mother?
Lin Minjun only hopes that Brother Yan Li will come back soon and give her an answer.
***
The next day at noon, which happened to be a Sunday, the restaurant was doing a booming business. Most of the customers were working families who were on break, or couples out for fun, or people with children. No one smoked in the restaurant, so Lin Minjun came out from the backyard to entertain them.
After the first wave of customers left, a middle-aged man came to the restaurant. He came alone. He was tall and had an imposing manner. He came over and ordered a table of dishes. While eating, he looked at Lin Minjun behind the counter from time to time.
It was only after Xiao Zhang reminded Lin Minjun that she realized someone was watching her.
Xiao Zhang nudged Lin Minjun and said, "Boss Lin, why is that guy looking at you so strangely? Hey, I found that you two look a bit alike."
Lin Minjun looked in the direction Xiao Zhang pointed and saw the middle-aged man.
She didn’t know if it was a feeling between family members, but after just one glance, Lin Minjun inexplicably felt that this person did look like herself, and she felt as if she knew the other person.
Yesterday, Yan Li described the leader to her, saying that his name was Huo Hong and that he had retired from the army. He looked exactly like the middle-aged man in front of her.
Lin Minjun looked at him and suddenly felt homesick. She didn't dare to go up to him and ask him if he was her father, and she didn't know what to say.
After the man finished eating, Lin Minjun went to clear the plates. Before she even touched the table, the man reached out and said, "You look a lot like your mother."
"Really? I've never met my mother, I only have her photos. She is much prettier than me, and I always thought I looked like my father." As soon as she opened her mouth, there was a sense of grievance in her tone that even Lin Minjun herself didn't realize.
Huo Hong: "Your mother is very beautiful, and you are also very beautiful. Your eyes are very similar. You know, your mother is very brave. She dares to do things that others dare not do. Things that others think are outrageous are just a small matter for her. When I was with her, I never felt how difficult life was. I just felt that time passed quickly. Before I could get along with her properly, the days passed by."
"I had a very good relationship with your mother at the beginning. She even told me that if we had a child in the future, we should name him Minjun."
He looked at Lin Minjun with sadness in his eyes. He said, "My child, you have suffered so much these years. I am sorry for you and your mother. Can you give me a chance and use the rest of my life to atone for you and your mother?"
His words were like breaking the window paper, telling Lin Minjun directly that he was her father.
When Lin Minjun heard this, she didn't know when her eyes were filled with tears. She bit her lip, feeling angry and sad at the same time. She thought to herself, why didn't you do anything earlier? If you are my father, why didn't you want me after I was born? Why didn't you stay with my mother when she gave birth? Why did you come to find me only when I was so old?
These questions were stuck in her heart, and she couldn't ask them all at once. Finally, Lin Minjun asked, trembling and crying, "Why did you abandon me, why did you abandon my mother, and why didn't you come to see me for so many years?"
She also wanted to ask, do you know what kind of life I lived at my great uncle's house, do you know that I was almost sold out by my great uncle's family.
After asking this question, Huo Hong was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe. He explained to Lin Minjun, "I have not abandoned you, nor have I abandoned your mother. I have been looking for you."
Speaking of this, he was almost heartbroken. Despite his age, he actually shed tears. Many people in the restaurant turned around to watch.
Lin Minjun sniffed and said, "It's not convenient here, let's go to the backyard and talk."
Huo Hong naturally agreed, and immediately stood up and protected Lin Minjun as they walked inside.
Walking to the backyard, there was a small coffee table, a few stools and a rocking chair under the big tree. Lin Minjun often sat there to enjoy the cool air. Lin Minjun said, "Let's go there and talk."
After sitting down, Huo Hong slowed down and explained to Lin Minjun, "I have been looking for you all the time. I have never stopped. When I changed my job, I went to Yunnan and married your mother. Later, I received an emergency mission and left. When I left, I didn't know your mother was pregnant. When I went back, everyone said that your mother died of a difficult birth. I asked about you, but no one in the village knew where you went. I kept looking for you. After asking around, I finally heard about you. They said you were thrown on the roadside, and then someone in the village picked you up and sent you to your uncle's house. But when I went back, the old man who picked you up had passed away, and the clue was broken. I had to look for you everywhere, and only recently did I find any definite news about you."
Huo Hong's eyes were red, "Son, I really am your father."
In fact, after talking with him, Lin Minjun already felt who her real father was.
She sensed the intimacy between blood relatives, and also noticed that when Jiang Yanqing mentioned her mother, he was more respectful and loving, while the man in front of her was closer and more like a husband.
But Lin Minjun said, "Actually, yesterday a man named Jiang Yanqing came to me and said he was my father. Now I can't tell the difference."
Huo Hong was stunned, with a funny expression on his face, "Jiang Yanqing? He used to follow your mother around, and your mother treated him as her younger brother."
Lin Minjun said, "I don't know which of you is telling the truth, so I want to ask, is there any way to verify the paternity? Otherwise, how can you prove it?"
Just now, Lin Minjun was still in trouble. She didn't know when Brother Yan Li would be able to come back. What if Wang Qiuhua had already gone abroad when he came back? Then everything she did now would be in vain.
But she suddenly thought of a way, could she use the paternity test to keep Jiang Yanqing here? Even if she couldn't keep him here, it could at least delay the time and buy some time for Brother Yan Li.
Huo Hong was stunned for a moment after listening to Lin Minjun's words, then he suddenly smiled and looked at his daughter approvingly, "Okay, you can do whatever you want, as long as you are happy, I will cooperate."
Lin Minjun suddenly came up with this idea, but didn't know how to implement it, so she sat there frowning and thinking of a solution.
Having just seen his daughter at this moment, Huo Hong felt extremely guilty when looking at her. He hated himself for not coming back earlier, hated himself for not going to Yunnan to find her earlier, and even more hated himself for not having time to go back to save Lin Wan, causing the three of them to be separated for so long.
He looked at Lin Minjun's thoughtful expression, and his heart softened. He tried to say, "Ajun, I know that the country is now in contact with a technology called DNA, which can verify blood relationship based on hair. It is estimated that it will be introduced in a while. I can go and ask the person in charge."
DNA technology.
Lin Minjun has the impression that it was not introduced into China until 1987, her previous life, so it is too late now.
Lin Minjun knew that this matter would take a long time and there would probably be no results, but she still agreed, "Okay, then I'll find someone to tell Teacher Jiang, and we'll do the DNA test."
Of course Huo Hong agreed. He didn't feel it was hurtful at all. He just thought his daughter was so smart and clever to have come up with such a good idea in an instant.
When he looked at Lin Minjun now, he felt that she was the daughter God had given him. Even if she wanted to go to heaven, he would just quickly make a ladder and support her from below.
When Jiang Yanqing left, he wanted to leave his bodyguards behind and let Lin Minjun use them, but Lin Minjun refused. However, he still kept one bodyguard and stood at the door like a security guard.
Lin Minjun couldn't bear it and wanted to call the man in to take a break, but he refused and told her in broken Chinese that he had to do things for him since he had taken the money.
Lin Minjun walked to the door and told the bodyguard that she wanted to do a DNA test. The bodyguard left immediately after hearing this.
Less than two hours later, the bodyguard came back with a message.
It turned out that Jiang Yanqing, the wealthy Mr. Jiang, was very generous. When he learned that Lin Minjun wanted to do a DNA test, he just waved his hand and asked someone to fly a private plane abroad to do the test, and then send the result back to China. The result would be available in half a month.
After hearing this, Lin Minjun was stunned for a long time, wondering if there is such a thing?
But I felt relieved in my heart. After all, it has been delayed for half a month. I hope Brother Yan Li can come back soon.
More than ten days passed in such anxiety, and Yan Li still hadn't come back. The DNA test results were already out and had been faxed back from abroad. Jiang Yanqing's secretary would come and deliver the results in due time.
It was originally agreed that on the day the results came out, Jiang Yanqing and Huo Hong would both come to the restaurant to pick up the results together.
As a result, Jiang Yanqing did not come that day, only the secretary came and brought a test report.
Lin Minjun took it and read it. It said that she and Huo Hong were 99.9% related by blood.
In other words, Huo Hong is really her father.
Lin Minjun's tears suddenly fell, and she couldn't stop crying when looking at the test report. She didn't know why she was crying. She just felt that it was really fate. She had suffered so much in the first half of her life, but now she had a happy family and was pregnant, and her father appeared.
At the same time, she thought, it’s great that her father has been found. From now on, she will have a father and she will be a daughter who is protected by someone.
Huo Hong's eyes were red, and he kept hugging Lin Minjun and saying, "Dad will spend the rest of his life to compensate you and your mother."
He had fought in the battlefield a few years ago and had old injuries. His heart was not in good condition. He was so emotional that his face turned pale. Lin Minjun said quickly, "I'll take you to the hospital, Dad."
Huo Hong was stunned. After a while, he turned to the side and touched his eyes. "No need. You are still pregnant. Dad will go by himself. Don't worry. The driver is still at the door."
He walked out of the restaurant, got in the car, asked the driver to drive to the hospital, and sat in the back seat, looking at the sky for a long time. When the driver saw his leader's attitude, he quickly turned down the radio in the car.
He used to be the leader's orderly, and now he has changed his job, but he is still the leader's driver. One look at the leader's attitude and you can tell that he is missing his wife who passed away early again.
As for Lin Minjun, it had not been long since her father left. She was still sitting at the counter, unable to recover, when Jiang Yanqing arrived.
Lin Minjun stood up and looked at Jiang Yanqing, not knowing what to say. Now that she knew she had no blood relationship with him, it would be awkward for her to meet him again.
Jiang Yanqing's expression was quite natural. He pointed upstairs and said, "Shall we go talk upstairs?"
"good."
The two of them went upstairs together. As soon as they sat down, Jiang Yanqing smiled and said, "Do you know who your biological father is?"
"I know." Lin Minjun smiled embarrassedly.
Jiang Yanqing poured himself a cup of tea. "In fact, I have long known that we are not father and daughter. Your mother...she is very beautiful in my heart. She has never had any romantic feelings for me. It's just that I selfishly want to have a relationship with her."
Lin Minjun looked at him blankly without saying a word.
"You look just like your mother." Jiang Yanqing looked over with red eyes and sighed, "I have no children in my life. If you are willing, I would like to adopt you as my goddaughter and take care of you in the future. This way, when I see your mother again a hundred years later, I will always have something to say to her."
Lin Minjun could not appreciate the pure friendship and kinship between them, but she could clearly feel that when Jiang Yanqing looked at her, the love and guilt in his eyes were no less than that of his biological father.
Lin Minjun nodded gently, "I do, fuck daddy."
"Hey! Hey!" Jiang Yanqing responded twice in succession, so excited that he didn't know what to say. He came up with an idea every now and then, "Ajun, come with me to Nanyang. You and your whole family will go, and the child will be born there. If you go with me, you won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. I will let you enjoy the best medical care, so that you will have no worries in your life, and let this baby enjoy the best education from childhood to adulthood."
This life sounds really good, no worries about food and clothing, and always have money to spend.
But after thinking about it, Lin Minjun refused.
Jiang Yanqing was puzzled. "Why? Are you afraid that your godfather's money is not enough for you to spend? Don't worry, your whole family will never be able to spend it all in the rest of their lives."
"Of course not." Lin Minjun chuckled, "I just don't want to go. I have a business here, my own restaurant, and my husband has a job. Do you know my godfather? He works as a police officer. We are very happy and blessed now, and we have a baby."
She touched her belly and said softly, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, I hope he can grow up happily, have his own hobbies, and do what he wants. I think that's good enough. Too much money and material things are not what I pursue. Even if I want them, they have to be earned by myself."
Jiang Yanqing looked at her for a long time, feeling deeply moved. She was indeed Lin Wan's daughter. Even though she was not raised by her personally, the mother and daughter had similar thoughts.
He knew that Lin Minjun would not go with him, so he had to take a step back. "Then you can go to Nanyang with me to wait for the birth. I will ask the best doctor in the world to deliver your baby. Your mother had an accident during the birth, and your godfather is very worried about you."
Lin Minjun still refused. "No, I've already made an agreement with my wife that we'll give birth in a hospital in the capital, so we don't have to travel back and forth. My father also said that he has friends in the capital hospital, so I'll just have to take care of them when the time comes."
She begged Jiang Yanqing again, "Father, can you please stay and wait until the baby is born before you leave? You can also take a look at the baby before you go back."
If Jiang Yanqing could stay, it would be good for the Investment Promotion Office and his mother's case.
But this was also very difficult for Jiang Yanqing. He smiled and said, "Ajun, I won't hide it from you. I was invited back this time, but I actually had no intention of investing at all. I just wanted to come back to see you and give a flower to your mother's grave. I have no plans for anything else."
He added, "You are still a little pregnant now, so I will go back to Southeast Asia first. I will fly back before you give birth to your baby. I will definitely come to see the baby."
Lin Minjun was in no position to persuade him any further. Now there was no evidence, and everything about Wang Qiuhua was just speculation, so it was naturally difficult to explain to her godfather.
Lin Minjun took Jiang Yanqing to stay in the capital for a few days. On the twentieth day, Yan Li had not returned yet, so Jiang Yanqing was leaving. Before leaving, he invited Lin Minjun and Huo Hong to have dinner together in the restaurant.
Because this day is Lin Wan’s death anniversary.
Lin Minjun asked her sister to prepare the dishes early and started eating as soon as everyone arrived. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yanqing brought someone else, Wang Qiuhua.
Lin Minjun exchanged a glance with her biological father, and Huo Hong shook his head, signaling her not to act rashly.
Jiang Yanqing brought Wang Qiuhua to the banquet. Lin Minjun waited for the two to sit down, then stood up and said, "I'll ask them to start cooking, and the dishes will be served soon."
When the dishes were served, everyone started eating. Jiang Yanqing raised his glass and said, "We are gathered here today to commemorate a person and to celebrate our finding Ah Jun. From now on, she has someone to lean on, a biological father and a godfather."
After tonight, Jiang Yanqing will fly back to Nanyang, and Wang Qiuhua will leave with him. Lin Minjun is of course anxious.
She asked about the relationship between Jiang Yanqing and Wang Qiuhua, and it sounded like the two did not have any ambiguous relationship, they were just simple friends.
Lin Minjun said: "Father, please stay a few more days for my sake. I can't bear to leave you."
"I will come back when you give birth. By the way, I asked someone to buy you a mobile phone. You can call me anytime when you miss me in the future." Jiang Yanqing said immediately.
Jiang Yanqing raised his glass to Huo Hong again. He drank glass after glass without saying a word.
When it was Wang Qiuhua's turn, Jiang Yanqing said, "I brought Qiuhua here today because she is also Lin Wan's friend and was the one who accompanied Lin Wan in her last moments. I thank you for taking care of her in her last moments."
There was a hint of gratitude in his words.
Wang Qiuhua also raised her glass and said with a smile, "I also congratulate you, Mr. Jiang, for finding your goddaughter. As for taking care of Lin Wan, that's what I should do. After all, we had a very good relationship at that time, just like real sisters. I think about how happy we were when we were in Yunnan. Now things have changed and we are all old. The more I stay here, the more I think about Lin Wan. I feel sad when I think of her. It would be great if she were still alive. Now that I am old, I can't always be sad. That's why I want to go to Southeast Asia with you and leave this sad place."
She took the opportunity to bring up the idea of going abroad just to get Jiang Yanqing to take her away.
When Lin Minjun heard her shamelessly say that she missed her mother, and thought that she might be the one who killed her mother, she almost vomited. She kept looking outside the door, wondering how long it would take for Brother Yan Li to come back.
Two days ago, Yan Li called and said that he had found some clues and was currently in a township under the capital, still looking for key evidence.
Whether Wang Qiuhua can plead guilty and be punished depends on tonight.
The meal lasted until after ten o'clock in the evening. Lin Minjun had already thought of her final retreat. If Jiang Yanqing still wanted to leave, she would question Wang Qiuhua in front of everyone whether he had killed her mother. This could at least delay some time.
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, it's almost time. Our flight is tomorrow morning. Let's go back to bed early. We will be catching a flight early tomorrow morning." Wang Qiuhua was the first one to bring up the matter. She had a smug smile on her face, as if she already knew that she could escape successfully.
She had just chatted with Jiang Yanqing and Huo Hong for a long time about what happened in the past, just to deepen their relationship. She didn't know what Huo Hong thought, but she was sure that Jiang Yanqing had completely believed that she was Lin Wan's best friend, confidant, and sister. This was great. With Jiang Yanqing's help, she could live the best life abroad.
Wang Qiuhua felt happy just thinking about it. She took her bag and was about to leave. Just as she reached the door, it opened and Yan Li walked in.
He had already changed into a police uniform and ran into Wang Qiuhua. Yan Li took out his ID and asked, "Are you Wang Qiuhua?"
"It's me, what are you doing?" Wang Qiuhua took a step back and looked at Lin Minjun, "Ajun, I remember this is your husband, we are all family."
Yan Li: "We have received a report that you are suspected of two murders. Please come back with us for investigation."
Wang Qiuhua suddenly laughed, confident and fearless, "Just because you say there is, does it mean there is? Public security comrades must also provide evidence when speaking."
She was sure that the incident had happened too long ago, and even if there was evidence, it had almost been destroyed. As long as she returned to Nanyang with Jiang Yanqing after tonight, she would be free.
Yan Li remained calm. "After investigation and interviews, I found witnesses who witnessed the incident. Some of them testified that the reason why Lin Wan went into premature labor was because you spilled something where she passed by, causing her to slip and fall, which led to a difficult labor and heavy bleeding. You took away her family's hemostatic pills while she was bleeding heavily. This was the real cause of her death. If she had had the hemostatic pills to temporarily stop the bleeding and was immediately sent to the hospital, she might have survived."
"You said I took the pills. Where is the evidence?" Wang Qiuhua's expression was no longer as proud as before, and his face slowly darkened.
Yan Li continued, "You later used the pill to give to a sick old lady, your current husband's mother, your mother-in-law. Can you explain where the pill came from?"
Wang Qiuhua had not expected that such trivial matters could be dug up, and she did not know how to explain it for a while. Her face was gloomy, and she was thinking quickly of words.
But before she could explain, Yan Li barged in with questions one after another.
Yan Li: "When you met your husband, his first wife was still alive. Someone testified that you had a good relationship with your husband's first wife at that time. She suffered from heart disease and was found dead at home after a banquet. The forensic examination determined that she died of a drug reaction. In her medical examination report, it was mentioned that a large amount of a drug called metronidazole was found in her stomach. Drinking alcohol and taking this drug will produce a severe drug reaction. And you were prescribed a large amount of metronidazole by the hospital during that time. Can you explain it?"
Yan Li took out two documents and said, "This is the record of the medicine you took at the hospital, and this is the autopsy report of your husband's first wife. Come with us."
Wang Qiuhua stared at the document in a daze for a long time, and suddenly she started laughing as if she was crazy. She cried and laughed, squatted on the ground with her head in her hands, and screamed like a madman.
Yan Li asked his colleagues behind him to handcuff her and took her away directly.
Jiang Yanqing hadn't recovered from the farce until the end of the farce. He covered his heart and looked at Lin Minjun, "Was that true?"
Lin Minjun retracted her gaze and looked at Jiang Yanqing, "Fuck dad, that's all true. Wang Qiuhua really killed my mother. You always said before that you hated Yunnan, hated its backwardness, and hated that my mother didn't get timely treatment. In fact, it was all because of Wang Qiuhua."
Jiang Yanqing had just watched for a long time, how could he not know? But he couldn't believe it. He had been supporting Wang Qiuhua abroad all these years, and even sponsored Wang Qiuhua's son to study in the United States, allowing him to enjoy a paradise life.
It turned out that Wang Qiuhua was the culprit who killed Lin Wan.
He was so angry that he nearly had a heart attack on the spot.
Lin Minjun saw Huo Hong walking out, "Dad, are you okay? Where are you going?"
"I'm fine, don't worry, I'll go to the police station with them." Huo Hong said as he strode out of the restaurant.
He wants to sue Wang Qiuhua as the victim's husband, and he also wants to see the murderer plead guilty and be brought to justice with his own eyes!
***
It was late autumn when Wang Qiuhua was arrested. After investigating the evidence and interrogating her, she confessed and was tried. By the time the actual trial came, it was already early summer of the following year.
Spring went and autumn came, and another year had passed. Lin Minjun planted flowers and trees in the courtyard and built a grape trellis. The trellis was full of grape vines, which produced bunches of grapes. The grapes were not yet ripe and were very green.
Lin Minjun picked one and tasted it herself. She was almost disgusted by the sour taste, so she had to instruct Yan Li to go to the grocery store to buy a few bunches of grapes. She invited her biological father and godfather who had flown back from Southeast Asia to see her to taste them together.
The family had bought a TV a long time ago, and this time it was moved to the yard. They called Aunt Xu and Aunt Cao, as well as Xu's wife Ding Ling and others who lived in the back, and they all ate grapes and watched TV together.
Wang Qiuhua's crimes have been investigated. She has two lives on her hands and has been sentenced to death. She was also tried in public and executed live on television.
There is no mosaic in the current public trial. There are circles of people gathered at the scene and in front of the TV. When the gunshot rang out, everyone was shocked.
The yard was quiet for a moment, and then everyone exclaimed and started discussing.
In this bustling atmosphere, Lin Minjun frowned, covered her stomach, and cried out in pain.
Yan Li was nervous. "What's wrong? Do you feel sick?"
"It hurts. It hurts all the time. It feels like something is broken." Lin Minjun looked at him helplessly.
Aunt Cao immediately shouted, "The water has broken! Hurry, hurry, send her to the hospital, hurry to the hospital."
The two old fathers stood up immediately and almost started fighting over who would take their daughter to the hospital. In the end, Yan Li directly carried Lin Minjun into the car and rushed to the hospital.
When we arrived at the hospital, we could only wait at the door, listening to the cries of pain from inside.
Yan Lihan came down and pressed his forehead against the wall. He had always been a materialist and did not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods in the world.
At this moment, I couldn't help but pray to God, praying that my lover would be safe.
I waited like this from dusk till dawn, and finally I heard a cry from inside.
Soon someone came out holding a baby in his arms and asked with a smile, "Who is Lin Minjun's family?"
Yan Li immediately rushed forward and asked, "Comrade, how is my wife?"
"It's very good, mother and daughter are safe, the inside is still being sutured, and it will be out soon." The midwife said with a smile.
After a while, Lin Minjun came out of the operating room, sweating and very weak. She couldn't help but look at the little baby, "Where's the baby?"
"Here, here, she's 15 pounds. She's a big fat girl and very healthy." Aunt Cao said with a smile, holding the baby in her arms.
Probably because she heard the words "fat girl", the little girl in the cradle pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, tried to rub her lips twice, and suddenly opened her mouth wide.
Cry loudly.

The author has something to say:
I have updated six chapters in one go today. The main text ends here. There is also a side story, which I will write soon.
