Chapter 326 Marriage Certificate
The two members of the Lin family were speechless, but Ye Wanxi had no intention of letting them off so easily.
“Speak up, why aren’t you talking? Whether the child is alive or dead, there has to be an explanation. Otherwise, if you can’t conjure up a child, you’ll go to jail.”
Lin Cuihua was stunned by Ye Wanxi's bluffing words and retorted without thinking, "Bullshit! That's my child. I can do whatever I want with him. Why should I tell you?"
"Just because the child's biological father is here, and just because if you lose the child, they can sue you for infant abandonment. If the child is injured or even dies because of your negligence, they can even sue you for intentional injury or intentional homicide. Then you two will be murderers, and your son will be the son of a murderer."
"No, no way. You're lying, you're just kidding us!" Lin Cuihua panicked completely.
She never imagined that it was just losing a child, and a useless little girl at that.
There are plenty of families in the village who don't want their daughters, give them away, or cruelly drown them. Why are they all fine? But when it happens to you, it's considered abandonment or murder.
A policewoman who had recently given birth couldn't stand the family's behavior any longer and said coldly, "She's not lying to you. Abandoning your child is illegal and a crime. If they sue you and get concrete evidence, you'll go to jail!"
"You're in cahoots with them, you've been bribed! God, there's no way for us poor people to survive! They're trying to extract confessions through torture, driving people to their deaths!"
The policewoman who had spoken to her was nearly driven mad with anger by her unreasonable arguments, and the Song family members also looked very displeased.
At first, they were just excited that the child's mother had given them a little girl. But after hearing Ye Wanxi's conversation with the couple and thinking about the patriarchal atmosphere in Linjia Village, they instantly understood why the couple had abandoned the child, and their anger grew.
The child who should have been cherished and loved by them was carelessly abandoned by her own maternal grandparents!
The thought of this chilled them to the bone as they looked at the Lin family.
"You can keep deceiving yourself like this. The law won't wrong an innocent person, nor will it let a guilty person go free. You know what you've done. Whether you confess and beg for leniency so they can charge you less, or whether you spend your life in jail with your son, depends on your own behavior."
"I..." Lin Cuihua wanted to make a scene, but her father pulled her up.
Only then did she realize that everyone around them was staring at them with cold, disdainful eyes. Her crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide were nothing but a joke in the eyes of others.
Realizing this, Lin Cuihua felt a chill run through her body and immediately became less likely to cause trouble.
Mr. Lin's face also looked grim. He grabbed his wife's arm and tentatively asked, "If we tell you, will you drop the matter of our lost child?"
Ye Wanxi remained silent, leaving the choice to the Song family.
Mrs. Song's face, which was usually adorned with a gentle smile, had now turned completely somber, making one feel rather uneasy.
Ultimately, it was Old Song, the head of the family, who made the decision: "As long as you tell me where the child is, we can let this matter go."
"Dad!" Song Yulan exclaimed in surprise, clearly dissatisfied with the result.
Song Zhaoming clenched his fists, but ultimately did not utter a sound to stop him.
Although he, like Song Yulan, felt that this matter should not be left unresolved, he had to admit that his father's decision was correct.
Right now, nothing is more important than finding the child.
As for these people, once the child is found, he will have the time, energy, and means to settle this score with them slowly.
The Lin couple were unaware of Song Zhaoming's thoughts. Hearing Song's father say this, they breathed a sigh of relief and hesitated, saying, "We...we..."
"Speak quickly!"
"We abandoned her at the gate of a welfare home."
Which welfare home is it located in front of?
The two men paused for a moment, then said awkwardly, "We can't read, we only remember that the orphanage was near the hospital, about two streets away."
"You must know the name of the hospital where you gave birth, right?"
"I think it's called something like the First Hospital of City B."
The Song family members were extremely angry, and Song Zhaoming immediately called an old classmate in City B.
Ask him to help check if there is a welfare home near their First Hospital, and whether that welfare home found a newborn baby two months ago.
The couple's words were tantamount to tacitly admitting their abandonment of the baby.
Many people in the bureau couldn't help but frown, their gazes towards the two growing increasingly disgusted.
Especially for the women who also have children, put yourselves in their shoes. If you were to give birth to a child after going through all your hard work, and then have such scumbag parents just casually dump the child at the gate of some welfare home, not knowing whether the child is alive or dead, you would probably haunt them as a vengeful ghost.
After finding out where the child was, the Song family members were restless, wishing they could sprout wings and fly to City B right now to find their beloved granddaughter (niece).
But they also knew they couldn't just walk away like that. The child had been found, but the issue of the child's mother was still unresolved!
"Miss Ye, about my daughter-in-law..."
Mrs. Song's mention reminded Ye Wanxi: "Oh right, I almost forgot, where's the marriage certificate?"
The two members of the Lin family were startled, their eyes darting around nervously: "Wh...what marriage certificate?"
"Now that things have come to this, is there any need for you to play games with us? Your daughter's marriage certificate with that guy from the Cao family."
The Song family members were also quite surprised: "Miss Ye, this... there's even a marriage certificate?"
"Of course there are, everything that should be there is, it's just that the living people don't act like humans."
Ye Wanxi glanced meaningfully at the two members of the Lin family as she spoke.
Lin Cuihua's face darkened, and she wanted to curse again, but her father grabbed her and whispered a few words to her.
Lin Cuihua then temporarily calmed down and said reluctantly, "We can give you the marriage certificate, but you must save Junbao and not let him go to jail."
Mr. Lin chimed in, "As long as you're willing to let this matter go and spare Junbao, we'll give you the marriage certificate."
As soon as the two said this, everyone in the room fell silent.
Although Ye Wanxi was somewhat prepared, she still couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard this: "That's why legal illiteracy is the most terrifying thing."
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? You really think your son only committed some minor offense like ganging up on someone? He openly instigated others to traffic people. Even if we don't pursue the matter of him hiring people to surround us, he must still face legal punishment!"
