Chapter 29 Medical Expenses
Shen Yin raised an eyebrow, "What's so important?"
You have to ask someone to check it out.
It was impossible for Chen Baomei to tell her directly that because she was reborn and had memories of her previous life, she knew that the vicious child Chen Jiao was not her biological granddaughter, and now she wanted her daughter to find a biological granddaughter for her.
But the child's life was so hard that she wanted to find the child as soon as possible. The sooner she found the child, the less suffering she would have to endure.
Chen Baomei thought for a moment and said, "Do you think Chen Jiao looks like your brother and sister-in-law?"
Shen Yin shook her head.
"Yeah, I don't think so either."
"No, Mom, I mean I haven't seen Chen Jiao for a long time and I don't remember what she looks like."
"Besides, children change every day, and sometimes it's hard to tell who they resemble."
"Look, Wu Hui looks a lot like his mother. Chen Jiao doesn't look like your brother and sister-in-law, nor does she look like anyone in our family. I suspect she's not your eldest brother and sister-in-law's biological daughter."
Shen Yin thought her mother might have hit her head and her brain was a little affected.
Chen Jiao and Wu Hui were born from the same mother, Wu Wenwan's womb. How could it be possible that Wu Hui was her biological child, but she was not?
There is no such outrageous thing in the world.
Shen Yin changed the subject, "What does this have to do with what you asked me to investigate?"
Chen Baomei lowered her voice mysteriously, "When I fainted, your grandparents appeared in my dream."
"They say that Shen Jiao is not our Shen family's child, but was deliberately replaced. Our real granddaughter is suffering elsewhere."
"Your grandparents also said that our real granddaughter's surname is now Lu, and her name seems to be Cao Niu. She lives in a small mountain village in a poor county under our Yangcheng City. She lives a very hard life. Not only is she hungry and cold, but she also has to do all the housework, farm work, and help her adoptive parents take care of the children! Her adoptive parents often beat and scold her. Your grandparents asked me to go and find the child as soon as possible."
Shen Yin was stunned as her mother's words became more and more mysterious.
Seeing my daughter's expression, I knew she didn't believe it at all.
But when Chen Baomei thought of Lu Caoniu's pitiful appearance, tears came to her eyes.
This made Shen Yin at a loss. She said helplessly, "Mom, don't cry first. I didn't say I won't help."
Chen Baomei wiped away a tear and said, "Your grandparents haven't appeared in my dreams for many years. This is the first time they have appeared in my dreams in all these years. No matter what, you have to help me find out if there is a person named Lu Caoniu."
Shen Yin had already checked it on her phone.
"Mom, our city has only one impoverished county called Qinglang County, but Qinglang County has five subdistricts, eight towns, six townships, and even more villages. It's such a big place, and it's a bit overwhelming to know the name of a child."
Chen Baomei tried hard to recall, but she could only figure out that Lu Caoniu's adoptive father seemed to be called Dajian and her adoptive mother was called Lanhua. As for other information, she didn't know.
When her granddaughter came back, Chen Baomei's money had almost been taken away by her sons.
Wu Wenwan only used to bring her children to curry favor with Chen Baomei when her house was just being demolished. But when Chen Baomei ran out of money, she stopped coming to curry favor with her.
Shen Qin only informed her by phone after the child's paternity test came out. Later, he didn't even organize a dinner for the family reunion, so Chen Baomei didn't know the details.
Chen Jiao's biological parents came to look for Chen Jiao several times, and Chen Baomei only knew their names when she ran into them by chance.
Chen Baomei told Chen Yin the two people's names and then suggested, "Why don't you check the records of the hospital where your sister-in-law gave birth. If the baby was really switched, they were likely born in the same hospital. After all, there is only a chance of switching babies in the first few days after birth. With the information of those two people, we should be able to find out where they live."
Chen Baomei racked her brains and came up with such a good reason.
Wu Wenwan was in confinement for two months and went home to hire a nanny to take care of her. The nanny was recommended by a relative of the Wu family and was very reliable. There was no chance of changing the baby during the confinement period. By the time the confinement period was over, the baby's appearance had grown, making it even more impossible to change the baby.
Chen Yin's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea. It's better than searching village by village for a needle in a haystack. If the hospital can't find any information, we can talk about it later."
"It just so happens that I have a classmate who works at the Women's Health Care Center. We have a good relationship. I can ask her to help check it out. It shouldn't be a problem. But it's been so long, and I don't know if the files are still there."
It’s been ten years, and before that, all the files were paper files.
Hiring help costs money. Chen Baomei spent a fortune on gold jewelry, and after their divorce, Shen Xingguo took away another 200,000 yuan in cash. She now has just over 30,000 yuan, which she has to keep for emergencies. However, the slaughterhouse recently ordered a batch of pigs from her for over 60,000 yuan, and they'll be paid by the end of this month.
"Please help me with the money first, and I'll give it to you when I get the money."
"Forget it. I've saved all the money you gave me before. I have money to use."
Although Chen Baomei gave more subsidies to her sons, she also gave Shen Ru and Shen Yin a lot of money every year, just a little less than what she gave to her three sons.
Shen Yin didn't want her money, and Chen Baomei didn't insist.
The divorce left her in financial difficulty.
The demolition will actually begin in May of next year, which means there is still more than half a year before I become rich again.
The next morning, Shen Ru came to replace Shen Yin.
After changing Chen Baomei's medicine, the doctor came over to remind them that the prepaid fee had been used up and asked them to pay as soon as possible.
Shen Ru was about to pay with her bag when she was stopped by Chen Baomei.
"Call Shen Qin and his wife and ask them to come over and hand it over."
She was pushed by that brat Chen Jiao. They are Chen Jiao's parents, so naturally the money has to be paid by their family.
Chen Baomei knew the character of Shen Qin and his wife. If Shen Ru paid the fee, they would not return the money to her.
"Okay, I'll call him."
Shen Ru called Shen Qin, but Shen Qin said he was very busy at work and had no time to come to pay the bill, so he asked Shen Ru to pay it first and he would give her the money later.
Shen Ru looked at Chen Baomei helplessly.
Chen Baomei said, "Have him transfer it to you on his phone."
It is very convenient to transfer money via mobile phone now. You can transfer money by just tapping on the phone, and it only takes a few minutes.
As soon as Shen Ru asked him to transfer the money via mobile phone, there was a commotion on Shen Qin's end. Then he said he had something urgent to do and hung up the phone.
Shen Ru sighed, "Mom, I'll just cushion it first."
"No." Chen Baomei refused.
Advance? If she really paid for it, it would probably be wasted.
"Where's my phone? Give it to me."
Shen Ru took out her cell phone and handed it to her.
Chen Baomei found the landline number of Shen Qin's leader's office and called him.
The call was connected quickly. Chen Baomei stated her identity, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then explained her purpose.
She said she was paralyzed in the hospital and the hospital was urging her to pay the bill. She couldn't contact Shen Qin, so she wanted to ask her leader to help find Shen Qin and ask him to go to the hospital.
Just two or three minutes after hanging up the phone, Shen Qin called.
He sounded extremely angry and started questioning.
"Mom, it's just a small matter. How could you call my boss? Do you know that this will cause me a lot of trouble?!"
