"Okay, I won't feel at ease until this matter is resolved. I probably won't be able to sleep tonight."
When the captain heard Shen Changan's idea, he immediately slapped his thigh to express his agreement.
"Then sit here for a while."
Shen Changan and the captain squatted in the corner of the Public Security Bureau yard. They were tired after an afternoon of work and just sat down to rest for a while.
As soon as the captain sat down, he took off his shoes and poured out the sand inside.
"Damn it, there's so much sand and I don't even have time to dump it out. I don't know what I'm busy with all day long."
The captain complained, and Shen Changan quickly took over with a smile.
"The team leader is very busy and worried about the villagers of Jiangjia Village. I heard from Jiang Yi that his sister Jiang Li gave birth to a child in your family."
Shen Changan smiled pretending to be relaxed, but in fact his heart was tense, and he was far from being as relaxed as he appeared.
He was afraid that the captain would see through his intentions, because Jiang Li said that since he had not completely accepted him yet, the relationship between them could not be made public.
"Yes, it's fate. My mother was dying right before Jiang Li gave birth, so I invited her to our house to paint her portrait. Unexpectedly, her water broke right after I finished. She didn't know anything at the time and thought she had wet her pants."
Speaking of this, the captain couldn't help laughing. Jiang Li, who is young but very mature, will also have a day when he is at a loss.
"So Jiang Li gave birth to the child in your family? I heard that it's unlucky for a woman to give birth to a child in someone else's family. Do you and your wife also believe so?"
The reason why Shen Changan brought up this topic was mainly because he wanted to know more details about Jiang Li giving birth.
Jiang Yi was not at the scene either, so he could only give a general idea. Jiang Li was always on guard against him and refused to say a word. He could only get information from the captain.
"Well, the situation was so urgent, and Jiang Li's water broke early because she was painting a portrait for my mother. We didn't care about so much. There was no such thing as auspiciousness or inauspiciousness. My mother had just passed away at that time, so it was a good thing that she didn't mind that my family was unlucky."
Having said this, the captain couldn't help but bring up that mysterious matter.
The couple had discussed this matter privately before, but they didn't dare tell anyone else about it, fearing that the villagers would sue them for being superstitious.
But this matter has been weighing on my mind for too long, and I really have to get it out.
Moreover, since Shen Changan can become a junior high school teacher, he must be knowledgeable and may have different opinions.
"It's strange, my mother died right after Jiang Li gave birth. Do you think there's a possibility that my mother was reincarnated into one of the children?"
The captain lowered his voice and looked at Shen Changan with inquiring eyes. He was very much looking forward to Shen Changan's answer.
"Maybe it's a coincidence. Anyway, you two are destined to be together."
Shen Changan did not refute the captain's words, but he did not agree with him either.
The captain was not very satisfied with the answer and shook his head in disappointment.
"Even Teacher Shen thinks I'm overthinking it? My mom always said that being a woman is hard, and if I could be reborn in my next life, I would definitely be a man, so I thought, maybe this is really possible."
The captain was also very emotional when he said this. Shen Changan didn't want to burst his fantasy. How could his son be the reincarnation of the captain's mother who was so old?
This was awkward no matter how he thought about it, and Shen Changan completely disagreed.
But he also knew that the captain said this because he had something in mind.
"Who can say for sure about such things? Besides, you have to drink Meng Po soup to be reborn. After drinking Meng Po soup, you will be a different person. Even if it is true, there is no need to be so entangled. What do you think, Captain?"
What Shen Changan said made sense, and the captain nodded in agreement.
Shen Changan began to ask about the details of Jiang Li's childbirth. Although the captain was a little depressed, it rarely stimulated his desire to talk.
Therefore, the captain talked more than usual today.
Jiang Li didn't know yet that Shen Changan had actually found out all the details about her childbirth from the team leader.
"Giving birth to twins is not easy. Jiang Li had a difficult delivery at that time. If it weren't for the efforts of my wife and the midwife, she would probably have died."
"Giving birth is so hard for women. It's like walking through the gates of hell. If you're not careful, two lives could be lost."
The captain kept shaking his head when he said this. Shen Changan clenched his fists silently, and he also fell into deep thought.
"Besides giving birth, raising a child is not easy either. There's also breastfeeding. I heard it was incredibly painful at first. Jiang Li gave birth to two children, and my wife said she cried from the pain."
"Actually, my husband and I didn't have a very good relationship with Jiang Li before. After all, she got pregnant before marriage and even pissed off her parents to death. It had a huge impact on the village."
"At that time, everyone looked down on her. She was stabbed in the back when she walked on the street. Some people even spat at her. No one looked her in the eye."
"Look at how well Jiang Li is managing his life now. He paints portraits of the villagers, does their hair, and even cuts their hair. He also makes delicious cakes. He takes good care of his two children and even sends his younger brother to school."
"To be honest, Jiang Li is indeed pretty and has a nice figure. Even though she has two children, many young men in the village secretly like her. Many people even ask my wife about her situation."
"Some uncles and aunts have secretly asked my wife to speak well of their children to Jiang Li, hoping that my wife can help introduce them."
"Anyway, Jiang Li has picked up all the face she lost before through her own efforts. Now the villagers like her very much and admire her very much."
The team leader talked endlessly about Jiang Li. Jiang Li was really special in their Jiangjia Village.
A mother who never leaves the house can actually live a prosperous life. Anyone who talks about this will praise her.
The captain said a lot, and Shen Changan felt very complicated and a little heavy after listening to it.
He originally thought that Jiang Li had just suffered a lot during childbirth, but he didn't expect that she would have to endure so many rumors for getting pregnant before marriage.
The villagers accused her and looked down on her, even blaming her for her parents' death. She had two underage siblings at home who needed her to support.
In such a difficult environment, Jiang Li never thought of giving up the baby in her belly.
After she gave birth to the child, she never thought of looking for him as the father of the child, but silently endured everything alone.
Shen Changan suddenly couldn't guess Jiang Li's purpose for doing this, and what she was thinking. Is she willing to make so much sacrifices alone just to have a child with him?
