However, Aunt Lu couldn't help but peek out when she saw that Mother Huo and Third Uncle were each holding a swaddled baby.
Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao were still half-asleep, having eaten and drunk their fill.
His eyes were half-closed.
Her little mouth would smack twice from time to time; she looked absolutely adorable.
"Hey girl, are your babies twins or fraternal twins?"
Mrs. Huo smiled slightly, "Twins."
"Oh my, what a blessing!"
Even though it wasn't her own child, the old lady still sincerely praised him.
"These two children are really good-looking, and they look quite clever."
Mrs. Huo was good at handling things, and she immediately noticed the old lady praising her two adorable grandsons.
Sure enough, they immediately praised him, saying, "Your child is also very good-looking and healthy."
The two chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
However, things changed in an instant.
As soon as the group reached the second floor, they saw several children, around seven or eight years old, squatting at the corner of the second floor.
One of the children had his right hand raised very high.
Before anyone could react...
A loud "Boom!!!" rang in my ears.
Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao were almost asleep.
Upon hearing the noise, both of them instinctively shrank their necks.
Mrs. Huo and her third uncle quickly patted their swaddling clothes, "Don't be afraid, Grandma (great-grandfather) is here."
But no amount of coaxing worked.
The two children burst into tears instantly.
This broke the hearts of Uncle San and Mrs. Huo.
Meanwhile, Battalion Commander Lu, who was standing to the side, had clearly realized that something was wrong.
"Mother, is the child alright?"
Aunt Lu: "It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm sleeping like a little pig."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Si frowned and looked over.
That sound just now startled not only the children, but also her.
Battalion Commander Lu's child didn't react at all!
Fortunately, Aunt Lu realized what was happening by now.
She gently shook the child. "Baby? Wake up."
After shaking the child several times, the child did not react at all.
Aunt Lu panicked now, "Shuanzi, what's wrong with this child? Why is he sleeping so soundly?"
As she spoke, she patted the child's back.
Just then, a little bit of white foam suddenly appeared at the corner of the child's mouth.
Jiang Si had only suspected it at first, but now, through the child's various reactions, she has come to a realization.
It's pretty much confirmed now.
The child was probably given medication.
Huo Tingzhou's next words confirmed her guess.
"You should take your child to a pediatrician immediately. It's very likely that the child has been given sedatives or sleeping pills."
He was fed this many times when he was a child, and every time he woke up, there was this white foam at the corner of his mouth.
What?
Were they given drugs?
"That damned thing, the child is so young, who was the heartless person who fed him medicine..."
Before Aunt Lu could finish speaking, Battalion Commander Lu grabbed the child and ran towards the pediatric ward.
Seeing this, Aunt Lu quickly chased after them.
The commotion they made quickly attracted the attention of other military dependents.
Especially those who shared a ward with Battalion Commander Lu, they all came out one after another.
Seeing that Aunt Lu was crying her eyes out, the group all gathered around her.
"Auntie, what happened?"
Weren't you just happily picking up your grandson from the hospital to prepare for his discharge? Why are you crying like this now?
At this point, Aunt Lu was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.
They thought their son had offended someone.
But when the families of the soldiers heard this, their hearts sank.
No one had time to comfort Aunt Lu anymore; everyone rushed to the nursery on the fourth floor.
...
The military hospital was in complete chaos that day, and it wasn't until more than twenty days later that Jiang Si learned the rest of the story from Huo Tingzhou.
To be honest, Jiang Si didn't expect this matter to drag on for so long.
Mrs. Huo was also puzzled by this, "Isn't the evidence conclusive? How come it has dragged on for so long?"
I heard that when the military families rushed into the nursery that day, Tan Mingna had already prepared soapy water.
She was planning to give Battalion Commander Lu's son a soapy water stomach wash.
The enraged family members immediately started fighting with her.
However, she deserved the beating.
The children were only a few days old, and she gave them medicine because she thought they were making too much noise.
The dosage administered is still the adult dose!
When the pediatricians received the news, it was like the sky had fallen.
How can you pump the stomach of such a young child?
After discussion, the only solution was to prescribe medication and administer intravenous fluids.
However, this medicine had severe side effects, and that very night, half of the children developed high fevers and persistent vomiting.
The most pitiful ones were Battalion Commander Lu's children.
The child was in a deep coma when he was brought to the emergency room due to a severe allergic reaction.
Although his life was saved, he is still in the intensive care unit of the military hospital.
No one can say for sure whether there will be any long-term effects.
What's most despicable is that, in order to cover up what he had done, this person even secretly switched Battalion Commander Lu's child with another soldier's child!
Even though almost a month has passed, Huo Muguang still gets so angry that her liver hurts when she thinks about it.
Of course, what I felt most was lingering fear.
"It's a good thing you didn't put the children in the nursery back then, otherwise the children would have suffered so much!"
Jiang Si remained noncommittal.
She only realized after becoming a mother that principles really do vary from person to person.
If you have no principles, then so be it.
In any case, she was completely powerless against the two glutinous rice balls.
