Those were three baby birth certificates.
The handwriting was very messy, and the stamp was doubled. It was obvious that it was secretly copied and used as evidence.
Unfortunately, due to its age and improper storage, many of the words on it have become blurred.
We can only vaguely tell that the baby's gender is male and his date of birth is June 30, 1937. The time, weight, body shape and everything else are all blurry.
As for the baby's mother's name, only one surname could be recognized.
Perhaps it was because they had already become like this that they were placed so casually later.
Su Qingzhu folded the birth certificate and put it aside carefully. Although it was damaged, it was still useful.
Then she opened the diary.
The irrelevant contents in the diary had been covered with glue, leaving only the relevant records about the incident.
Su Qingzhu is not that curious and would not dismantle the blurred content.

June 5 sunny
A strange woman came to me and asked me to help her exchange her child.
I was startled and scolded her away.
That's something that would damage one's moral character. How could I possibly do that?
June 6th, cloudy
That woman is here again.
I asked her not to come, but there was no way I would agree.
June 7th, cloudy
The woman didn't come, she must have given up.
In the afternoon, a woman in labor was urgently sent in, but unfortunately she arrived too late and could not be saved. It was a tragic loss of two lives, one dead.
The husband knelt outside the delivery room and cried tears and snot.
What's the point of crying when the person is dead?
Some money cannot be saved.
June 9th, cloudy
It hasn't rained for several days and I'm in a bad mood.
Just because she gave birth to a daughter, the woman actually wanted to throw the child to death.
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. She is worse than an animal.
At noon, the woman came again.
She cried to me and told me that her youngest son was too weak and her family was worried that they couldn't support him because they had no money, so she thought of exchanging the child.
She said she didn't want to do that either, and she couldn't bear to leave her child.
I still didn't agree.
Her child is precious, but other people’s children are not precious?
Rain on June 9
Finally the rain came and my world fell apart.
He asked me for money, 30 silver dollars.
I asked him where he was going, and he actually said he was going to smoke opium.
I refused to give it to him, so he pushed me down, snatched the money and ran away.
When did he become like this?
June 11 Sunny
That woman is here again.
When I wanted to leave, she held me tightly and said that if I helped her replace the baby, she would give me 20 small yellow croakers.
I was shocked. 20 small yellow croakers cost at least 700 silver dollars.
I only make 30 silver dollars a month.
I wanted to refuse, but when I thought about him smoking opium, I hesitated.
I said I would think about it.
This matter is a bit strange. They can produce so many small yellow croakers, why did they lie to me that they were poor and insisted on exchanging them?
On the evening of June 11
He asked me for money to smoke opium again. How could I have so much money to give him? If I gave him money, our family would be dead.
I hid the money.
He couldn't find the money, so he smashed the house and beat us.
I want a divorce. I can't go on like this.
June 13 sunny
The woman is here.
I agreed to help her change the fish, but she had to give me 30 small yellow croakers.
She hesitated and said she would tell me the answer in the afternoon.
She came at noon and agreed to give me 30 small yellow croakers.
I asked whose child to replace.
She didn't say anything, just said that the mother would probably be admitted to the clinic at the end of the month, and she would tell me then.
I feel a little regretful.
But it seems I have no way out.
June 28th, cloudy
Two women came to the clinic to give birth. I heard that one of them was the wife of an official.
I was shocked. No way, that woman was so bold that she even dared to replace an officer's child?
I didn't dare ask which one was the official's wife, for fear that they would suspect me if something happened.
June 29 sunny
The woman came and told me that the child she wanted to exchange was the official's wife's child.
I don't dare to do this. If it is exposed, our whole family will be killed.
But as soon as I said I regretted it and didn't want to do it anymore, the woman said it was too late and that if I didn't do it she would report me.
I'm in a difficult situation.
June 30 sunny
The woman sent her son over.
The baby who is almost one month old is actually not even as big as the newborn baby. I don’t know how they raise the child.
I had just changed the baby's swaddle when someone outside shouted that 102 was about to give birth and asked me to go and help.
102? Isn’t that the room where the wives of officials live?
I quickly fed the child some medicine and hid him on the chair under the table in the delivery room.
Three women went into labor at the same time, and the delivery room was in chaos.
If someone hadn't suddenly had a heavy bleeding and everyone had gone to help, I wouldn't have had the chance to change the baby.
I'm sorry, child.
Light rain on July 1
I don’t know if it’s because I feel guilty, but I always feel uneasy.
Will the child who was exchanged be treated well by that woman?
July 2nd, cloudy
Is this an illusion? I feel like someone is following me.
July 3rd sunny
It's not an illusion, someone is really following me.
Who is it?
Is it that woman's man?
Is she planning to silence him?
July 5 sunny
No, we have to move!
I knew that kind of thing couldn't be done.
Retribution has come.
Light rain on July 6
Should I go and explain the situation to that official’s wife?
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
