Chapter 90 The two arrived at the hospital, in the ward...
When the two arrived at the hospital, a policeman on duty was dozing on a bench outside the ward. Hearing footsteps, he looked over, stood up and said, "Director Lu, Comrade Yu."
Lu Chenzhou nodded slightly, his tone gentle: "You've worked hard. Have you eaten yet?"
The police officer was somewhat flattered and subconsciously straightened his back: "Reporting to Director Lu, it's no trouble at all! I ate before coming to relieve you."
Seeing this, Yu Jiajia took out a handful of sunflower seeds from her pocket and handed them over with a smile: "Uncle, you're bored on duty, have some sunflower seeds."
The police officer looked at the smiling little girl and couldn't help but smile too. He said "thank you" and reached out to take the money.
Yu Jiajia knocked on the ward door, and after hearing a response, she pushed the door open and entered, followed by Lu Chenzhou.
The ward was quite quiet, with only Xu Mei there. She had changed into clean clothes, loosely combed her hair, and seemed much better. She was leaning against the bed reading a book when she saw Yu Jiajia and Xu Mei enter. She closed her book and was about to get out of bed when she exclaimed with delight, "Director Lu, Jiajia, it's so kind of you to come see me. Why did you bring things with you?"
Yu Jiajia quickly stopped her, sat down on the stool next to the hospital bed, and asked, "Sister Xu Mei, how are you?"
Lu Chenzhou placed the net bag on the table but did not approach the hospital bed.
Xu Mei's eyes instantly welled up with tears: "I've never felt so at ease before. I'm safe here. That family won't dare to hit me anymore. The thought of getting a divorce, getting out of that quagmire, and starting a new life on my own makes me happy. Director Lu, Comrade Jiajia, thank you for saving me."
Yu Jiajia: "You saved yourself. You are very brave, braver than many people."
Many people are afraid to get divorced; they wouldn't even dare to think about it.
Xu Mei wiped away her tears and smiled, "I begged so many people to let me get a divorce, to let me leave, but they all said I'd lost my mind, that I'd get a divorce over something so trivial. Only you and Director Lu supported my decision to divorce."
Xu Mei's previous living conditions were terrible, and she didn't encounter any kind people, so she was beaten without anyone to break it up or anywhere to hide. Xu Mei only knew how to run away, not how to run to the police station.
Yu Jiajia held Xu Mei's hand: "It's good that you're divorced. If you don't want to work at the oil press, you can find someone to transfer you to another job. Your future will be bright and you'll have a lot of freedom."
Xu Mei recounted what happened this afternoon. Since she was hospitalized, her in-laws and her own family had come several times. At first, they verbally abused her, calling her heartless and saying she had even taken her husband to the police station, demanding that she go there immediately to pick him up. Xu Mei's wicked mother-in-law, who routinely falsely accused her of having affairs, reached out to hit her, but was chased away by the doctors at the health center.
Even the police threatened them not to lay a hand on them, or they would all be locked up in the station. Those people finally realized that the situation was serious.
When they came back into the ward, their attitude was much better. They stopped using harsh words and even brought pastries and candies. They patiently persuaded him, saying things like "a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness," and "everyone lives like this, what man doesn't beat his wife?" They told him to just bear with it and it would pass.
Yes, Xu Mei's father and father-in-law both beat their daughter-in-law. They acted like landlords in the family, and if they were dissatisfied with anything, they would beat and kick their daughter-in-law.
Xu Mei smiled bitterly: "In the end, they promised that as long as I didn't get a divorce, the Liu family would never lay a finger on me again. They just wanted to treat this as a family matter, and if I bowed my head, the problem would be solved immediately." She looked at Yu Jiajia: "How could I bow my head? Once I give in and compromise, what awaits me is endless beatings. Maybe I'll be beaten to death one day, and a coffin will be enough to bury me. No one will care whether I was beaten to death or not. I've had enough of this kind of life."
“The comrades from the neighborhood committee also came to see me. They brought snacks and were very gentle. They were concerned about my injuries, criticized the Liu family, and dealt with the cadre who had threatened me before that I wouldn’t get a divorce. They told me to focus on recovering and that I could get a divorce certificate at any time. The leaders from the oil mill also came. They also told me to focus on recovering and stopped threatening me. They even said they would transfer me to a different job. I said I would get a divorce certificate after I recovered.”
As long as the divorce certificate isn't issued, these people won't be able to settle down.
The Revolutionary Committee has been keeping a close eye on the progress here.
Yu Jiajia was completely relieved. "You should focus on recovering and getting plenty of rest. Getting healthy is the most important thing!"
Xu Mei: "Thank you."
There was a loud 'thud' outside. Lu Chenzhou immediately pulled Yu Jiajia to his side, but after the bang, nothing seemed amiss. Yu Jiajia leaned out the window and looked out; it appeared to be a tire blowout. The health center's security guards quickly went to check and found nothing wrong.
Yu Jiajia said gently, "Sister Xu Mei, don't be afraid. No one can hurt you now."
Xu Mei patted her heart as if she had just recovered from a shock, and repeated, "Yes, no one can hurt me now."
When Lu Chenzhou and Yu Jiajia left, Xu Mei insisted on getting out of bed to see them off, and Yu Jiajia couldn't stop her. Xu Mei said, "I ran away this time and wasn't beaten much. Before, it was much worse. I was in so much pain that I couldn't even get up. I still had to cook for my family, otherwise I would have been beaten again."
And this isn't even considered a serious beating? How badly were they beaten before?
Yu Jiajia's temper flared up again. "That scumbag, all he does is bully the weak."
Xu Mei looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that and made you worry. I'm fine, look at me, I'm perfectly alright. I won't be beaten again, I've gotten out of that quagmire."
Yu Jiajia gave a few instructions before leaving with Lu Chenzhou, waving back at Xu Mei, "Go on in."
Xu Mei watched Yu Jiajia and Lu Chenzhou walk away side by side, only turning her gaze away after they turned the corner. By the time she returned to her ward, the pitiful look on her face had vanished.
Yu Jiajia is so kind.
The wind was a bit strong, and Yu Jiajia tidied her hair. "I think Sister Xu Mei is really strong. Many people who are often beaten will suffer trauma. I was really scared when my tire blew out outside, but Sister Xu Mei wasn't afraid at all."
She turned to look at Lu Chenzhou.
Lu Chenzhou was also looking at her.
Yu Jiajia blinked. "Say something."
Lu Chenzhou: "Xu Mo investigated the Liu family. This family is incredibly unlucky. Just this year, Xu Mei's husband broke his leg and was bedridden for two months, and broke his arm and took more than a month to recover. Xu Mei's mother-in-law was hoarse for more than a month. Xu Mei's grandmother fell into the river and drowned on a rainy day. In the end, the Liu family thought that their youngest daughter was unlucky and brought bad luck to the family, so they married her off. The youngest daughter's husband's family also suffered a series of misfortunes. However, the Liu family itself has been relatively fortunate."
Yu Jiajia:......
She frowned, her little face stern, and said, "Why did it take you so long to tell me!"
Lu Chenzhou chuckled and reached out to press down the stray hairs that were blowing wildly across her forehead: "I almost suspected that my sister-in-law Xu Mei was just unlucky. I only just started to have that suspicion. Maybe it's not that my sister-in-law is bringing bad luck to the family, but rather that those who bullied Xu Mei are all unlucky. She might have deliberately approached you. I'll go back and check on Xu Mei's family."
Yu Jiajia pursed her lips: "I can't make malicious assumptions just because someone is bold. I didn't sense any malice from Sister Xu Mei. But you can continue your investigation."
Even if there is only suspicion, enemy agents must be thoroughly investigated.
Yu Jiajia continued to look at Lu Chenzhou, "Have you investigated me thoroughly?"
Lu Chenzhou paused for a moment. This was a difficult question to answer. He said, "Are you hungry? Shall we go eat hot pot?"
Yu Jiajia muttered, "Then it must have been checked repeatedly."
Fortunately, she was cautious enough that she rarely used the things in the space, and when she occasionally stole food, it was always inside the house, so no one could possibly see her.
We need to be more cautious in the future.
Lu Chenzhou still said, "Your name has already entered the central government's records, and you're going to participate in the National Day celebrations, so there will definitely be a thorough investigation."
Yu Jiajia wasn't angry. Information wasn't readily available in this era, and communication was difficult. However, investigating someone was incredibly easy. Everything was transparent; you could trace the origins of their food, clothing, and daily necessities!
Unless intentionally hidden, they never expose themselves to outsiders.
Just like the fact that they hid gold in their house, people would be suspicious, but no one could find where the gold was hidden!
She said, "No wonder I was rewarded with so many cloth coupons; they knew I liked new clothes."
Yu Jiajia's hair was completely messed up by the wind, so she simply let it down, smoothed it with her fingers, and re-tied it into a high ponytail. This way, she could hold back the stray hairs in front, and finally it wasn't messy anymore.
Lu Chenzhou watched her comb her hair and thought her puffed-out cheeks were incredibly cute. No wonder so many of his friends always bragged about their younger sisters; it turned out sisters could be this adorable. Unlike his sister, who could be deadly when she got angry.
Yu Jiajia: "Does it look good?"
Lu Chenzhou: "Very cute."
Yu Jiajia laughed heartily, "I think I'm cute too." She couldn't resist showing off her new dress: "Lily and the others gave me a bunch of white dresses with double-layered skirts, they're super pretty! I'll definitely look even cuter in them! They're so kind, they even gave me a notebook, and everyone wrote me a letter. Lily even wrote a little poem, her handwriting is so beautiful. Xiaoxi's handwriting is adorable, just like her. Li Heyu even drew a picture, and his drawings are quite good."
Lu Chenzhou: "Did you bring them gifts too?"
Yu Jiajia is a very generous girl, especially towards people she likes. Today is a very special day for the performing arts troupe, and it's definitely worth celebrating.
Yu Jiajia nodded: "Of course, I gave them candy and dried meat, but the rest were different. I gave them according to their preferences."
Lu Chenzhou: "Do you know everyone's preferences?"
Yu Jiajia: "I think I know pretty much. Do you know what you like?"
Lu Chenzhou: "What?"
Yu Jiajia: "You like your work."
Lu Chenzhou had low material desires and was not particular about food, clothing, or daily necessities. He was fine with whatever he ate and did not care about gold, silver, or money.
In other words, Lu Chenzhou likes being an official, and so does her mother; she especially likes being an official.
She's completely different. She likes to enjoy herself. She wants to eat well, dress well, play well, and have someone to pamper her and keep her company.
Lu Chenzhou smiled and said, "Let's go eat hot pot."
Yu Jiajia: "Okay! My treat!" She skipped and hopped out with her hands behind her back, then felt someone behind her, turned around and looked back again.
Indeed, there was someone behind her. A middle-aged woman carrying a basket was following behind. When she saw Yu Jiajia turn around, she stopped abruptly, then lowered her head and continued walking forward, quickly overtaking Yu Jiajia.
Yu Jiajia called out, "Auntie, where are you going?"
The old woman said, "I'm bringing food to my niece, and now I'm going home."
Yu Jiajia: "Auntie, what's wrong? You're sweating."
The old woman said, "Young lady, why are you talking so much? I'm leaving now." She quickly walked forward with her basket on her shoulder.
Yu Jiajia reached out and grabbed the basket, and the old woman immediately got angry, "What are you doing?" She snatched the basket away and ran forward quickly.
Yu Jiajia stumbled a few steps from the tugging, and Lu Chenzhou had to help her regain her balance.
Before Yu Jiajia could even speak, Lu Chenzhou strode forward, pressed down on the old woman's shoulder, and lifted the cotton cloth covering the basket.
Inside lay a baby wearing a red bib.
The old woman's face changed. "What are you doing? Are you trying to steal my grandson? Get out! Get out!"
Lu Chenzhou snatched the vegetable basket, grabbed the old woman, and, amidst her screams, pinned her to the ground, kneeing her in the back.
The old woman screamed, "What are you doing? You're trying to take my grandson! My grandson!"
Yu Jiajia quickly took the vegetable basket from Lu Chenzhou's hand and reached out to touch the baby inside. The baby was warm and breathing softly with its mouth open.
The power of role models is boundless. A special reward is hereby awarded: 100 RMB + (Strength +1) * 1 + ICBM-related blueprint * 1 (10/20)
Yu Jiajia:! ! !
Will something happen to this child?
She frowned at the middle-aged woman who was still cursing and swearing, and sneered: "Stealed someone's child? Or switched someone's child? You should talk to the police if you have something to say."
Yu Jiajia carried a shopping basket, while Lu Chenzhou dragged the middle-aged woman along. The two returned to the hospital without even needing to call the police, as there were officers on the first floor.
The middle-aged woman wailed, "Give me back my grandson! Give me back my grandson! I beg you, please let me take my grandson home!"
Yu Jiajia said very seriously, "This child looks like a newborn. Regardless of whether he is yours or not, you shouldn't have taken him away from his mother. Besides, I suspect this child isn't yours at all." She handed the basket to the doctor, "Check which ward this child is in. Is this child sleeping too soundly? Why isn't he awakened by all this noise? Could he have been given sleeping pills?"
The police had already handcuffed the middle-aged woman's hands and searched her pockets, where they found sleeping pills.
The doctor asked, "How much did you feed the child?"
The middle-aged woman had stopped talking about returning her grandson; she shrank back and said, "That's what I ate."
Lu Chenzhou then dragged the middle-aged woman out.
The doctor looked at the gap in a sleeping pill. Had the baby been given more than half? Her heart tightened. She shook the baby, but the baby didn't react at all and continued to sleep soundly. She quickly drew blood from the child for testing.
The child did not wake up when they were given the injection.
The doctor checked the child's condition again; it was a baby girl with an anklet on her foot, bearing her birth date and the names of both mother and child.
The baby was born this afternoon. The mother's name is Zhou Mingming, and several nurses remember her.
The doctor quickly took the child to find the mother.
Zhou Mingming was breastfeeding her youngest daughter right now. Her husband wasn't there. She patted the baby and noticed that her baby's lunula seemed even whiter. The child was indeed getting prettier as she grew up. She was too ugly when she was first born because she hadn't fully developed yet.
But she didn't seem to like the pretty crescent moon as much anymore.
When the doctor held up another child and asked Zhou Mingming, "Is this your daughter?"
Zhou Mingming: ? ? ?
She laughed and asked back, "Doctor, are you kidding me? If that's my Yueya'er, then who is this?"
But the doctor didn't seem to be joking. She looked at the baby carefully again, then at the one who had just finished feeding. Her expression gradually turned grim. She put down the baby in her hands and carefully took the one from the doctor's arms. Looking at the child's face, which was a little dark and a little red, like an ugly monkey, she felt an inexplicable urge to cry while holding the child's soft little body. She loved this ugly little child so much.
This is her crescent moon.
Tears welled in Zhou Mingming's eyes: "Where did you find Crescent Moon? Why was she taken away? Whose child is this?" She gently shook Crescent Moon, "What happened to her? Why is she sleeping so soundly?"
Doctor: "It seems she was given sleeping pills. We've already done a blood test. If the dosage was too high, we'll need to pump her stomach."
Zhou Mingming: "How long will it take to get the results?"
Doctor: "It will take forty minutes."
Zhou Mingming held Yueya'er in her arms, calling her name repeatedly, but the child was sleeping soundly, and her heart sank to the bottom.
My second aunt came by.
But a tire burst outside, and she went to check out out of curiosity. A little while later, the baby started crying loudly, so she quickly breastfed the baby. Her aunt said it wouldn't disturb her rest and left.
The second aunt gave the child sleeping pills, took away her crescent moon child, and replaced her with another child.
Thinking of this, Zhou Mingming's face turned pale instantly. How could she dare?
Yu Jiajia briefly recounted what had just happened: "She was acting suspiciously, carrying a basket. When I called her, she ran away. We chased after her and lifted the cloth covering the basket, and we saw the baby inside."
Zhou Mingming: "She was wearing a gray cloth shirt and a brown headscarf."
Yu Jiajia nodded: "Yes." She looked at the child and suspected that too many sleeping pills had been given, otherwise why would there be a special reward? She hesitated, not knowing how to bring it up. Gastric lavage was the safest option, and the sooner the better.
Zhou Mingming gritted his teeth: "Doctor, give Yueya'er a gastric lavage. Yueya'er was crying just now, and she has only been asleep for less than half an hour. Adding the time for the tests, it will take too long."
Sleeping pills have serious side effects on children; the longer you delay treatment, the greater the harm.
She dared not delay.
Outside, Lu Chenzhou rushed in, "She gave the child one and a half sleeping pills."
Sleeping pills can damage the kidneys and affect brain development; this damage is irreversible.
In more serious cases, it can be fatal.
No wonder they gave a special reward.
The doctor quickly took the baby and immediately arranged for gastric lavage.
Zhou Mingming wept outside the operating room. Her baby, Yueya, had only been born for half a day and had already suffered such a terrible ordeal.
The nurse advised her not to cry, saying that she really shouldn't cry too much during her postpartum period, or she would go blind from crying.
Yu Jiajia also advised, "The child is back now, and he'll be fine after his stomach was pumped."
Zhou Mingming's husband, Chen Aiguo, returned with a net bag full of lunchboxes, but couldn't find Zhou Mingming in the ward. He asked a nurse and learned that she was outside the operating room.
He looked flustered: "Mingming, what happened to Crescent Moon?"
Zhou Mingming's tears fell like beads from a broken string once more. Overwhelmed by immense worry, she became incoherent and unable to speak clearly.
Or someone else told the story.
Zhou Mingming sobbed, "My second aunt, my second aunt."
Chen Aiguo's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his knuckles turning white, a burning rage simmering in his chest. The thought of Yueya'er suffering so much right after birth, of almost losing his own flesh and blood forever, while his entire family treated an imposter like a precious treasure! The moment this thought crossed his mind, a sharp pain shot through his heart.
He hugged Zhou Mingming, his voice hoarse but firm: "It's alright, it's all over! Our Yueya'er will definitely be safe and sound from now on!" He was especially grateful to Yu Jiajia, "Jiajia, thank you, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, our Yueya'er would have..." The last half of his sentence caught in his throat, and he dared not continue.
Zhou Mingming's mind was completely occupied with Crescent Moon, and only now did she realize that she needed to thank her savior, so she knelt down before Yu Jiajia.
Yu Jiajia tried to stop her, but she couldn't. Fortunately, Lu Chenzhou came back and helped to hold Zhou Mingming back.
The gastric lavage was quick, and the child suffered terribly, crying in pain. But the child's tears actually put the adults at ease. Zhou Mingming held the child as if she were holding a priceless treasure that she had lost and then found again.
This is the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy.
The baby from before is temporarily being cared for by the health center.
No matter what the adults do, the children are innocent.
Zhou Mingming and Chen Aiguo kept thanking Yu Jiajia and Lu Chenzhou. The doctor said, "It's Yueya'er's good luck to have met Jiajia. After getting through this ordeal, she will definitely have a smooth and healthy life from now on."
This hospital is the health center of the steel rolling mill. The doctors are all familiar with Yu Jiajia and have brought her to the hospital several times.
Everyone's life was saved because of Yu Jiajia.
Yu Jiajia told them to go back to their wards. Both the mother and the baby were in labor and couldn't be exposed to drafts or stand for long periods. They needed to rest and recover.
Hearing the commotion, Xu Mei came over and quickly understood what had happened. Looking at Yu Jiajia, she smiled and said, "You're such a good person. Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."
Yu Jiajia: "Anyone would do the same in that situation."
Xu Mei shook her head: "If other people encountered this, they wouldn't find it strange. You're a very kind and capable person."
Yu Jiajia's arm hairs stood on end, and she immediately became alert, her smile becoming even sweeter: "It's all just a coincidence. Sister Xu Mei, you should rest now, don't forget you're a patient yourself."
Xu Mei: "Yes, you should all go home and rest early too."
This delay meant it was almost 11 o'clock before the two were finally able to leave the hospital. They didn't need to worry about the rest; the police would handle it.
The streets were deserted; it was so late that we definitely couldn't have hot pot.
Yu Jiajia patted her stomach, "Let's go to my house for noodles."
Lu Chenzhou: "It's too late, let's do it another day."
Yu Jiajia tugged at his sleeve: "Come on, even if you don't come, I need to have an extra meal. I ate too early this afternoon and I'm so hungry now. Eating alone is so boring, let's eat together."
As she swayed her sleeves, Lu Chenzhou felt a slight itch in his palms and wanted to grab her hand. He said, "Okay."
Yu Jiajia was satisfied, and then instructed Lu Chenzhou: "Brother Chenzhou, you have to have someone keep an eye on Xu Mei. The way she looked at me just now was weird. My hair stood on end. Does she want to kill me?"
Lu Chenzhou: "We'll keep a close eye on her, you don't need to worry, she can't hurt you."
Yu Jiajia added, "Don't let her pass on the message to outsiders and get someone to kill me."
Lu Chenzhou smiled and said very seriously, "Jiajia, everyone will protect you."
Yu Jiajia is very precious.
Yu Jiajia: "Mmm!"
I really hope the system can give her a life-saving skill, or a buff, such as 100% evasion of fatal attacks, or the ability to transfer fatal attacks.
It's better to redirect the fatal attack; whoever hits her will take the damage.
She couldn't help but laugh when she thought about it.
Lu Chenzhou asked, "Why do you think that person is strange?"
Yu Jiajia: "It's a feeling."
Lu Chenzhou: "Your intuition is so accurate, I'm envious."
Yu Jiajia's lips curled up, looking smug: "There's no use being envious, it's innate, hahahaha."
The two walked on the road, with Yu Jiajia on the inside, which allowed her to step on Lu Chenzhou's shadow, which was quite amusing. Yu Jiajia felt her face was a little wet and reached out to touch it, saying, "I hope it's not raining."
As soon as she finished speaking, more and more raindrops began to fall. Lu Chenzhou pulled Yu Jiajia to run under the eaves to take shelter from the rain. Fortunately, after only a few steps, their hair and clothes were not wet. The wind blew the raindrops under the eaves, and some of them still got on their clothes.
Lu Chenzhou took off his shirt and draped it over Yu Jiajia.
Yu Jiajia reached out to catch the raindrops, which felt cool on her hands. "Guess if my mom will bring me an umbrella?"
Before Lu Chenzhou could answer, Yu Jiajia said, "I bet she definitely will. My mom must be worried sick right now."
Lu Chenzhou pulled her back a little; her skirt was about to get soaked by the rain.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, the raindrops were becoming more and more frequent, and the eaves were almost no longer able to keep out the rain. In the distance, lights were shining, and Yu Jiajia heard her name. She said, "I'm here."
A moment later, Cheng Xiuying arrived, holding an umbrella. Seeing Yu Jiajia and Lu Chenzhou, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily, you didn't get wet." She first removed the shirt Yu Jiajia was wearing, then unfolded the thick coat tucked under her arm and draped it over her shoulders. "Are you cold?"
Yu Jiajia: "It's not cold anymore."
Cheng Xiuying handed the shirt to Lu Chenzhou: "Chenzhou must be cold."
A short while later, Yu Songyan and Yu Songyan also arrived, both of them holding umbrellas.
There are three umbrellas in total, and I brought them all.
Cheng Xiuying and Yu Jiajia shared one umbrella, Yu Songyan and Yu Songqing shared another, and they gave one to Lu Chenzhou.
Cheng Xiuying: "Chenzhou, come to my house first, and leave when the rain gets a little lighter."
We've reached the entrance of the family compound, but it's quite a distance from the county government compound.
Yu Jiajia tugged at Lu Chenzhou's sleeve; "Brother Chenzhou, let's eat noodles together!"
The rain was indeed heavy, and since Lu Chenzhou had already promised Yu Jiajia, he had no choice but to go to the Yu family's house with her.
Cheng Xiuying carried Yu Jiajia on her back, while Yu Jiajia held an umbrella. The heavy rain pounded against the umbrella, creating a rather pleasant sound. She leaned on Cheng Xiuying's shoulder and said, "Mom, I ran into a girl at the clinic today who was exchanging children..."
Cheng Xiuying knew that Sibao must have run into trouble to come home so late, otherwise why would he still be home at 11 o'clock? If Lu Chenzhou wasn't reliable, she would have gone out to look for him long ago.
When it started raining that day, she couldn't stand it any longer, so she immediately called for someone to get an umbrella and came out.
Old Man Yu and Old Woman Yu were also about to come out to look for him, but she persuaded them to go back. In such heavy rain, what if they slipped and fell? Besides, why would they need so many people?
She said, "This is too vicious. Giving a newborn baby sleeping pills is outrageous! How could she do such a thing?"
Yu Jiajia: "She's Zhou Mingming's second aunt."
Cheng Xiuying: "Luckily you found out, otherwise this child would have been tormented in the future."
Yu Jiajia: "After giving him so many sleeping pills, there might not be a future for him."
Cheng Xiuying sneered, "How vicious! They can't stand seeing other people's children born into good families because they don't have that kind of luck themselves. They're so jealous that they're sending their own granddaughter to enjoy a life of luxury."
Yu Jiajia nodded repeatedly. That's usually how it is, but this old woman is even more ruthless, completely disregarding Yueya'er's life or death. She leaned against Cheng Xiuying's back, and casually turned her head, her gaze meeting Lu Chenzhou's. He was holding an umbrella beside her; he was really tall! The rain was quite heavy, making it difficult to see clearly, but a handsome man is a handsome man. His aura alone was exceptionally outstanding. Even without seeing him clearly, a blurry glance was enough to know he was very good-looking.
Lu Chenzhou turned his head to look at her and chuckled softly.
Cheng Xiuying walked quickly and arrived home soon.
Yu Jiajia got off Cheng Xiuying's back and said, "Thank you, Mom."
Cheng Xiuying smiled and closed the umbrella. "Hurry up and go upstairs."
Lu Chenzhou and the other two arrived as well, closed their umbrellas, and followed them upstairs.
Yu Jiamin hadn't slept either. When she saw Yu Jiajia come back, she pulled her over and said, "Your clothes are all wet. Go take a shower first, or there won't be any hot water left. I'll get you some clothes and a towel."
Grandma Yu: "Oh dear, look how wet my Jiabao is! Did you eat again tonight? Are you hungry?"
Yu Jiajia: "I haven't eaten, Grandma. I want to eat noodles. Cook more. Brother Chenzhou hasn't eaten either." As she said the last sentence, she had already gone into the bathroom. She closed the door and tested the hot water first! There was still some! But it wasn't so hot anymore. She quickly took off her clothes to take a shower. Her hair was also a little wet, so she washed her hair as well.
Yu Jiamin handed in the clothes and towel, but didn't leave. She spoke to her from the side, "Why are you back so late? Did something happen again?"
What do you mean by "again"? Has she encountered a lot of things?
However, it seems that a lot of things have happened; unexpected events occur whenever I go out.
Yu Jiajia told us about Zhou Mingming's child being switched. Although such things are rare, they do happen! And here we are, encountering one.
Yu Jiamin was shocked. "The child was switched. How could she not recognize her?"
Yu Jiajia recalled Zhou Mingming holding the baby, still overflowing with maternal love. "She didn't recognize her. She was quite confused at the time and never expected that she wasn't holding her own daughter."
Yu Jiamin was speechless: "Can't you even recognize your own child?"
Yu Jiajia was about to speak up for Zhou Mingming: "Third sister, I think the two children look pretty much the same, neither of them are good-looking. They're ugly and red, like little monkeys. One of them seems to be a little fairer."
Yu Jiamin laughed heartily: "No wonder adults always say that children are descended from monkeys."
This falls under Yu Jiamin's blind spot. She hadn't looked closely at the baby, nor had she ever gone up to see or hold the baby at her relatives' house. She would just glance at it and then compliment it on how pretty it was.
Yu Jiajia laughed, but her laughter quickly faded as the water was cut off. She hadn't even rinsed her hair yet, so she wiped herself down and changed into her pajamas. Yu Jiamin brought hot water, diluted it with warm water, and helped Yu Jiajia rinse her hair. After rinsing it clean, she used a towel to dry her hair.
Yu Jiajia nuzzled against Yu Jiamin: "Third sister is so nice, I'm sorry for keeping you from sleeping."
Yu Jiamin: "Sleeping a little more or a little less makes no difference."
After Yu Jiajia's hair was half-dry, she combed it herself before coming out. Lu Chenzhou was also talking to everyone about the baby swap.
As he visited more often, Old Man Yu and Old Lady Yu lost their respect for him as the director of the Revolutionary Committee.
After returning to her room, Yu Jiajia took out face cream to moisturize her skin, applying it to her face, neck, and hands before going to the living room to sit next to Cheng Xiuying and listen along.
Grandma Yu quickly cooked ham, egg, and tomato noodles and brought out two bowls. Yu Jiajia's bowl was smaller, while Lu Chenzhou's was a large bowl.
The eggs and ham were fried in oil, and a dash of sesame oil was added, making it smell especially delicious.
