Chapter 192 The truth behind the child exchange
…
Wen Zhu covered his aching lips and glared at Qian Jingsheng.
"No kissing next time."
Qian Jingsheng was helpless and apologized with some heartache, "I'm sorry, I lost control a little, it's my fault. How about trying again, I'll be gentler?"
Wen Zhu glanced at him sideways without any intimidation.
"Go away..."
The comments were hilarious.
[Hahaha, Brother Qian, your abacus beads broke and even hit my face!]
[What did you just do? Why is there an ellipsis?!]
[Yes, as a valued member, just give us the ellipsis! I pay for on-demand viewing, is that not enough?]
[I've seen through everything! Look at Sister Wen's red face and neck. They must have done something behind our backs that children shouldn't know about...]
[Hey hey 乛v 乛 hey hey, I'm not a kid anymore. Tell me more details!]
…
Wen Zhu, who had been kissed to the point of exhaustion and was somewhat annoyed at his own incompetence, felt even more like a coward when he saw the comments.
She pulled the quilt over her head.
"You go first, I need to rest for a while."
Qian Jingsheng touched her head through the quilt.
"I'll go get you some food. Eat and then go to sleep."
Wen Zhu only came out of the window when she saw everyone had left, and took a breath. She was so hot that she was dying.
Will every time we kiss, we'll be surrounded by comments? That would be really lively.
After dinner, Qian Jingsheng returned to the army, and she called her eldest brother to tell him the truth about her mother's life experience.
The eldest brother analyzed the issue very rationally and also raised the existing problems.
"How are you going to convince that midwife to stand on our side?"
The midwife was indeed the most crucial factor. She was the most crucial witness, the only person who could testify.
Wen Zhu was also clueless for a moment.
Those two greedy ones are easy to deal with, but people like this who are a little smart and vigilant are difficult to control.
The eldest brother gave her an idea.
"You just said that her great-grandson is injured in the military hospital, right? Little sister, you can go and take a look at the situation first. Medical skills are your forte, and I believe you will understand what to do. Since the midwife is too shrewd, some things cannot be forced. The debt of favor may be the most difficult to repay."
Wen Zhu understood what his elder brother meant. The two of them talked for a few more words and then hung up the phone.
Wen Zhu did not delay and immediately went to find the injured officer Su Guozhu.
This time she actually ran into old lady Shen Cuiying, who had been stuck in traffic for a long time but couldn't be found.
Wen Zhu started by talking about his accent, trying to get close to him by pretending to be from the same hometown. He never mentioned what happened in the past, just saying that he was from the same hometown and came to chat.
Then, inadvertently, they started talking about Su Guozhu's leg injury.
Shen Cuiying was relieved to see that Wen Zhu didn't mention that matter, but when she thought that her great-grandson's future was ruined, she burst into tears.
"What a sin! Our national pillar loves the army so much, but he has to leave due to injury. It's all my fault, it's all my fault. Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its perpetrator. If there is retribution, it should be on me. How could it be my grandson?"
Others might not understand and think that the old lady was just blaming others, but Wen Zhu understood that she was repenting for her mistakes.
So, she did do something wrong back then.
The old lady was beating her chest and stamping her feet, and her soft crying made Su Guozhu, who was lying on the hospital bed, eyes red.
"Grandma, don't worry. Even if I'm lame, I can still work and support you, my wife and children."
Shen Cuiying wiped away her tears and comforted Su Guozhu.
Wen Zhu glanced at the two of them and said, "If you don't mind, I can help see if I can treat it. I have cured a similar case before."
The grandfather and grandson looked over at the same time.
After the application was approved, Wen Zhu took over Su Guozhu's leg treatment.
The original plan to leave in two days was changed.
It will be postponed for at least another week.
In that case, if her second brother recovers well, she can take him back with her.
If we were to ask who is the happiest, it would naturally be Qian Jingsheng.
After all, it's another chance to spend another week with your partner.
He had already submitted his love report, but Wen Zhu stopped him from submitting his marriage report, as she didn't want to get married so early.
A week later, after the examination and receiving another positive response from the doctor, Mrs. Shen burst into tears of joy and hugged Su Guozhu and cried heart-wrenchingly.
He can recover and won't have to leave the army.
When old lady Shen Cuiying found Wen Zhu, she was not surprised at all.
After all, this was her plan. She felt there was no conflict between using medical skills to cure illnesses and saving lives, and curing illnesses and saving lives for the sake of achieving certain goals. Medical skills were just a means to an end, and the balance was in the heart of the person.
"You know me, don't you?"
Her first words stunned Wen Zhu, but then he realized that this old lady was a smart person.
However, she couldn't understand how such a smart person could help someone conceal the fact of child swapping?
She waited quietly for Old Lady Shen to give her an answer.
Shen Cuiying sighed and narrated slowly.
"Back then, my son and daughter-in-law all starved to death, leaving me, an old, aging man, still alive. I wanted to take my grandson with me. The villagers stopped me. They tried to persuade me, but I finally understood. The child was still young, but I couldn't decide his life or death for him. That would be tantamount to killing him. So, I couldn't die. My grandson was still young. If I died, he wouldn't be able to survive.
It just so happened that two pregnant women in Xiahe Village were about to give birth, so I went to deliver them, which would earn me some food. However, the family with the same surname in our village wanted me to swap their child, saying that the father was a factory manager and the mother was a famous doctor, and that only such a family could have a good environment.
They promised me a year’s worth of food.”
Her eyes were full of confusion as she continued, "That's a year's life! I'm moved."
"But Dr. Sun was very kind to the people in our village. Even though she was away from the war, she still taught us some hygiene knowledge and common sense. She's a very good person. How could I repay her with evil? I couldn't bring myself to do that. But I couldn't bear to give up the food."
She looked away uncomfortably. "So, I came up with a plan. I took both children home with me, claiming they had severe jaundice. I washed them with medicine and kept them for ten days. Doctor Sun was in confinement and weak, so she agreed. The Su family had no ulterior motives, so they naturally wouldn't stop me."
"Ten days! Children grow so fast! They change so much in ten days. When I brought them back, I put Jiang Qin's jade pendant in Su Lan's swaddling clothes. I returned both children intact. I didn't exchange them. But I wanted food, so I told the couple who were up to something bad that the children had been swapped."
Wen Zhu understood.
"So, the child was not changed at all."
Shen Cuiying's wrinkled face was full of shame. Her tone was helpless.
"But, I did something else, I'm sorry, Qin girl."
