A sharp and piercing woman's scream was like thunder, suddenly breaking the originally quiet and peaceful air.
"Zhang Xiaoning, what are you doing? Ah!!! Someone, someone is stealing my child!"
This terrified cry instantly gripped Lu Yu's heart, making him feel nervous.
With his keen hearing and familiarity with the neighbors, he almost immediately recognized that this was the distress signal sent by Wang Yanhong, the wife of Ge Dazhuang who lived next door.
The situation was urgent, and Lu Yu had no time to think. He turned around without hesitation and ran towards the direction of the sound like an arrow from a bow.
Just a few minutes later, Lu Yu quickly rushed to the scene.
I saw a woman about thirty years old, tightly guarding a large bamboo basket, and confronting Wang Yanhong, who had an angry face.
Judging from the situation, this woman must be Zhang Xiaoning who caused the riot.
At this time, more and more people rushed over after hearing the screams just now.
Many of the wives of soldiers who lived nearby were among the crowd. They all looked nervous and were whispering about the scene unfolding before their eyes.
"Oh my! Isn't Zhang Xiaoning Yanhong's sister-in-law? How could she do such a thing? She actually wanted to steal Yanhong's child! This is really unimaginable..."
I saw a tall and heroic military wife with a look of astonishment on her face, her beautiful eyes wide open, her mouth wide open, she said in disbelief.
"Oh my God, it's her sister-in-law? What should we do? How will this relationship continue in the future?" One of the sisters-in-law said in astonishment, her voice unconsciously rising eight octaves.
"That's right, but don't jump to conclusions. Listen to me, this is not her biological sister-in-law, but her cousin!" Another sister-in-law who obviously knew more about the situation hurriedly explained.
At this time, the people around began to whisper to each other, and someone couldn't help but echoed:
"Yeah, no matter if she's my sister-in-law or my cousin's sister-in-law, she shouldn't do such a wicked thing! How can she steal someone else's child? This is simply outrageous!"
Everyone was outraged and expressed extreme indignation and condemnation of such behavior.
At this moment, the woman named Zhang Xiaoning carefully placed the basket in her hand on the flat ground. She smiled and said:
"Oh, sister Yanhong, look at what you said. How could I possibly steal your child?
I just wanted to take advantage of the early morning when the air is so fresh and pleasant to take our lovely children out for a walk so that they can breathe in the fresh air gifted by nature.
However, in the face of Zhang Xiaoning's sincere explanation, the woman who was called the child's mother, Wang Yanhong, did not let her guard down at all.
Her beautiful big eyes were filled with suspicion at this moment. She stared at Zhang Xiaoning, as if she wanted to see through the other person's surface to see his true intentions hidden deep in his heart.
Then she rushed towards the basket and took her child out of it. Then she snorted coldly and said in a cold and sarcastic tone:
"Huh, is it really that simple? It's already early in the morning, the sky isn't even bright yet, and the children are still deep in sleep, each one soundly asleep.
You suddenly come over here and want to secretly take them out for a walk. If you were in my place, would you believe it?"
"Whether you believe it or not, Yanhong, I really just wanted to take the child outside for a walk and some fresh air. Don't you think about it, if I really want to steal your child, then don't I have a child of my own? Why would I bother with this?"
The woman named Zhang Xiaoning explained with a look of grievance and helplessness.
She frowned slightly, her eyes full of sincerity, and continued:
"Besides, I already have two lovely sons. They are the apple of my eye. I love them so much! Why would I steal someone else's child and make my own children miserable? Besides, stealing children is illegal. I wouldn't dare take that risk."
However, Wang Yanhong remained unmoved. She angrily asked:
"Humph! Just because you have two sons makes you more likely to steal my children! Don't think I don't know that long before I gave birth to these two children, you and my mother-in-law secretly discussed it behind my back and planned to adopt one of your sons into our family."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoning was furious. She raised her voice and retorted:
"At that time, everyone said you couldn't get pregnant, so that's why everyone had this idea.
Do you think I'd be willing to give my own flesh and blood to someone else? If your mother-in-law hadn't kept nagging me about it, I wouldn't have even considered it!
Now that you've successfully given birth to a son, we naturally can't think of giving my child to you for adoption!"
