Aunt Zhang stood frozen in place, "Why? Why?"
"Why would a big star like her, glamorous, rich, and powerful, such an amazing person, have to pick a fight with someone as insignificant as me?"
"I've already helped her do something immoral, why is she still trying to harm me like this? If I were still the head nurse, I could be living on my pension by now!"
"But I'm blacklisted by the industry, so I can't work in the medical field. To support my children and family, I can only do odd jobs!"
Aunt Zhang burst into tears; this was the first time she had cried so loudly after suppressing her emotions for so many years.
Because she had to put on a strong front in front of her children and in public, so that no one could see her vulnerable side.
Otherwise, she and her child would be bullied to death!
Just look at Wen Shu's family. There's no man in the family, and Wen Shu is still young and can't support the family. Everyone in this neighborhood can step on them!
In order not to be seen as a vulnerable person, Aunt Zhang took the lead and stood at the forefront of the group that looked down on Wen Shu's family.
Only in this way can it be proven that she is different from Wen Shu's family!
She is strong yet gentle; they are the weak ones!
As a woman like Wen Shu who had lost her child at a young age, the first thing Aunt Zhang needed to do was to distinguish between the reasons why she and Wen Shu did not have men.
She lost her husband because God took him away.
Wen Shu doesn't have a man because she's immoral!
Lin Han stared coldly at Aunt Zhang, "Perhaps this is retribution for the bad things you've done."
Aunt Zhang covered her face and burst into tears, crying so hard she was hoarse. "I know I've let your mother down, I've let that child down, but I really... I really had no choice."
"I know what I did was wrong, I know what I did would hurt another girl."
"Su Ying said that if her daughter stayed with her, even if she denied it, it would be too late if it were discovered later. If she replaced her with someone who wasn't her biological daughter, even if her husband's family found out, a paternity test wouldn't match."
"That way she could say she adopted the children from an orphanage, making people think she was kind-hearted. I was really out of my mind back then, how could I..."
“For so many years, I have been tormented by my conscience. Whenever I see a fair-skinned little girl with double eyelids, I think of the child I switched.”
"I don't know if that child is doing well? Is he growing up healthy? I... I'm such a terrible person, I have a daughter myself!"
Lin Han gritted his teeth and looked coldly at Aunt Zhang, saying, "Since you regret it so much, I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins!"
Aunt Zhang looked up, "But...but is Su Ying taking revenge on me?"
"I don't care. I'm so old, I can survive by collecting garbage, but what about my son and daughter?"
“They work so hard and finally found good jobs. What if they get fired because of Su Ying’s retaliation? I can’t bear that consequence!”
Lin Han said, "This matter is no longer up to you. If you don't want to appear in court to testify, that's fine too. I have recorded our entire conversation as evidence, and I will list you as one of the defendants."
“Once your crime is proven, the consequences will be far more severe than if you were a witness.”
Aunt Zhang was stunned. She looked at Lin Han and asked, "Did you do this on purpose?"
Lin Han said expressionlessly, "Whether I did it on purpose or not is unimportant. What matters most is the truth."
"However, if you are only worried about your children being affected, then I can promise that this will not happen."
Aunt Zhang looked at Lin Han with red eyes, "Really? What do you need me to do? I'm willing to cooperate. I want to atone for my sins. I want to be able to hug and play with cute and pretty little girls when I see them in the future, instead of being afraid when I see them!"
After leaving Aunt Zhang's house, Lin Han walked to the boundary between Wen Shu's and Aunt Zhang's houses, where the joyful laughter of Wen Rou Rou and Lin Tuan Tuan could be heard from the yard.
The two little ones clearly got along very well, as if they were born to be together in harmony.
Lin Han listened quietly to the bursts of laughter coming from the courtyard, standing there motionless for a long time.
Wen Shu carried the vegetables toward the yard and saw Lin Han standing there from afar.
Wen Shu's originally relaxed and cheerful face immediately turned cold. She only glanced at Lin Han out of the corner of her eye, walked past him without looking at him, pushed open the courtyard door, and closed it behind her.
Lin Tuantuan peeked through the crack in the door and saw her father standing outside. Thinking that Wen Shu hadn't recognized him, she obediently said, "Auntie, my dad is outside. You've locked him out."
Wen Shu: "???"
She saw it; she did it on purpose!
But how can she tell Tuantuan this?
Wen Shu glanced at Tuan Tuan with a slightly aggrieved expression, "Auntie's hands are full of groceries, so Auntie can't open the door."
Lin Tuantuan immediately stood up; it was time to show the courage of a young boy!
He rushed over and took the groceries from Wen Shu's hands, saying, "I'll help Auntie carry the groceries!"
Wen Shu: "..."
Lin Tuantuan carried two bags of groceries in each hand and ran into the living room with great effort. "Grandma, Auntie is back from grocery shopping!"
Wen Shu was held in place by Lin Tuantuan.
She stood in the middle of the yard, then slowly went to open the door; she wanted to do it for the children to see.
She kept hoping that when she opened the door, Lin Han would be gone.
Because she didn't want that person to come to her house as a guest, nor did she want that person to appear in her yard.
After delivering the food into the house, Lin Tuantuan skipped out again. Although she didn't say anything, the boy's beautiful eyes were fixed on Wen Shu with bright, sparkling eyes.
Wen Shu had no choice but to walk over and open the courtyard gate. Sure enough, Lin Han was still standing outside, in the same spot as before, without even moving an inch.
Wen Shu frowned slightly and asked, "Are you here to pick up Lin Tuantuan?"
After Wen Shu finished speaking, she turned to look at Lin Tuantuan and said, "Tuantuan, your father has come to pick you up."
Lin Tuantuan's pretty little face immediately showed a wronged expression. He blinked his eyes and looked at Wen Shu, saying, "Auntie, Great-Grandma said she would make me delicious braised pork today!"
The implication is that he's not leaving!
Although he is a sensible and beautiful little guy, he also has his own obsessions when it comes to food.
He wasn't going to stay; he came today specifically to eat the food his great-grandmother made!
After Lin Tuantuan said that, Wen Shu glanced at Lin Han again, but she still didn't invite Lin Han into the courtyard.
Lin Han noticed Wen Shu's aversion to him, and he said, "Since Tuan Tuan wants to stay, then let him stay. I'll go back first, and I'll come back to pick him up this afternoon."
After a few seconds, Lin Han said again, "Thank you for your help."
Wen Shu's reaction was to reach out and close the door.
