After being rebuked by Luo Sulan, Wang Yanhong felt as if a fishbone was stuck in her throat, and she was choked and unable to utter a word.
Indeed, although she was 100% sure that Zhang Xiaoning was stealing the child, she really had no way to produce solid evidence to prove it at the moment.
Helplessly, she blushed and reluctantly muttered to Luo Sulan: "I'm sorry..."
Then he turned around and hurried back in the direction he came from.
Seeing this, Luo Sulan did not give up, but raised his voice and shouted:
"I'll accept your 'sorry' for now, but don't forget, you still owe Zhang Xiaoning an apology! Without any real evidence, you slandered her and accused her of stealing the child. Shouldn't you personally apologize to her?"
Wang Yanhong was willing to apologize to Luo Sulan, but she refused to accept the apology to Zhang Xiaoning. However, she could not produce any evidence and could not convince the public. In order to avoid further embarrassment, she had to say "I'm sorry" to Zhang Xiaoning.
Zhang Xiaoning knew best what he had done, and at this moment he just wanted to calm down the storm immediately.
She knew very well that she couldn't act so arrogantly. Seeing Wang Yanhong apologize, she quickly walked forward with a smile on her face and said kindly to the angry Wang Yanhong:
"Yanhong, I really don't have any bad intentions! After all, these two little ones are my nephews and nieces. How could I have the heart to do such an outrageous and cruel thing?"
Seeing that the matter was almost resolved, Wang Yanhong's mother-in-law, Aunt Ge, who had been cowering on the sidelines and not daring to step forward, finally came over and tried to smooth things over:
"Yanhong, Xiaoning, since this is just a misunderstanding, let's stop standing here and go home."
At this moment, Aunt Ge felt mixed emotions.
On the one hand, she regretted discussing the adoptive child with Zhang Xiaoning; deep down in her heart, she also doubted Zhang Xiaoning, but she couldn't say it.
At the same time, she was extremely angry that Wang Yanhong had so recklessly made this family affair a big fuss and known to everyone.
Unfortunately, faced with such a chaotic situation, she had no other choice but to find a way to call the two back home.
After Aunt Zhang recounted the subsequent events of this so-called child-stealing farce in detail, she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh again:
"Alas...this matter of adoption is not something you can just casually decide! If it's handled properly, everyone will be happy. But if it's done wrong, it could end up turning into enmity! That's exactly what happened in our village."
Seeing that Aunt Zhang seemed to be about to continue her story, Aunt Yu quickly and swiftly brought the food she had left for Aunt Zhang and placed it on the table. Then, she turned to Aunt Zhang and said softly:
"Okay, let's stop talking and eat while the food is still hot. If we delay any longer, the food will get cold!"
When Aunt Zhang heard this, she responded with two "hmm" sounds and hurried to wash her hands.
However, even when washing her hands, she still couldn't suppress the urge to talk, and kept repeating the thoughts in her mind:
"I don't know if other people noticed it, but I did. The child didn't cry once from beginning to end.
"In my opinion, maybe it was Yanhong's cruel sister-in-law who secretly gave the child some drugs! Alas, Yanhong, who is so smart, didn't even notice the trick at all."
Aunt Zhang's words were like a thunderclap, instantly attracting all of Qin Wan's attention.
If Zhang Xiaoning really drugged that innocent child, then her act of stealing the child would be confirmed without a doubt! Thinking of this, Qin Wan couldn't help but feel a strong sense of justice.
If this is true, then Zhang Xiaoning is an out-and-out child thief!
Whether out of deep sympathy for Wang Yanhong who almost lost her beloved son, or for the safety of all the children in the yard, such evil people must never be allowed to go unpunished.
Qin Wan secretly made up his mind to bring Zhang Xiaoning to justice and ensure that justice was done.
Then, Qin Wan turned to his aunt and said:
"Go and see if Yanhong's child has woken up. If he hasn't woken up yet, we need to send him to the hospital for a checkup!"
Hearing this, Aunt Yu quickly responded, "Okay! I'll go over and take a look."
After saying that, she hurriedly put down the work she was doing and ran towards Wang Yanhong's house with stumbling but eager steps.
Indeed, during this period, when Zhang Xiaoning lived in the Wang family, he got along quite well with Aunt Yu, and the relationship between the two could be considered good.
However, even with such a relationship, when facing Zhang Xiaoning, who might be the baby thief, Aunt Yu still has a clear sense of right and wrong.
She knew very well that she could not turn a blind eye or condone such vile behavior just for the sake of a little bit of so-called face.
Aunt Yu ran along at a brisk pace, and soon she arrived at Wang Yanhong's door. Seeing that the door was closed, she raised her hand and knocked on the door without even taking a breath.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
A voice from Aunt Ge came from the courtyard:
"Who is it?"
Then there was a sound of footsteps coming from far away.
Aunt Ge opened the door. When she saw Aunt Yu standing outside, she was surprised and asked hurriedly:
"Hey, Aunt Yu, what brings you all the way here?"
Aunt Yu didn't bother to exchange pleasantries and asked directly:
"Is your child still asleep now?"
Aunt Ge smiled and replied, "Hey, I'm awake. I just woke up." Then she asked curiously, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Aunt Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"It's nothing serious. Xiao Qin heard that your child has been sleeping all the time and was worried that he might be sick, so he asked me to come and check on him. Since he's awake now, there should be no problem!"
After saying that, Aunt Yu waved to Aunt Ge and turned to go back.
Aunt Ge was stunned as she watched Aunt Yu hurried away. She frowned and pondered secretly.
