As soon as Zhang Guoqing entered the house, Jiang Chuntang hurriedly came to greet him.
How is Ya Ya?
He had that same concerned expression about his granddaughter again.
Seeing her son remain silent and expressionless, she knew her plan had succeeded.
"It's alright, son, don't be sad. Yaya has no fate with our Zhang family, so let her go in peace. You and Zhao Fang are still young, you can have more children."
From this moment on, Zhang Guoqing seemed to no longer recognize his mother. He hadn't said anything; how did she know Ya Ya was dying...?
Could it be...?
She was the one who did all those terrible and vicious things.
"I didn't say anything, how did Mom know Yaya was dying?"
Jiang Chuntang felt a little guilty, her eyes darting around, unsure of what to do.
"You... when you took Yaya to the hospital last night, didn't the doctor say the child only had a few days left to live? Did you forget?"
"Yeah?"
"Yes."
Zhang Guoqing pressed closer, almost not recognizing his mother anymore. He brushed past her and went straight into Chuntang's room.
Jiang Chuntang was taken aback. What was wrong with her son today? He actually went into her room. Feeling guilty, she wanted to close the door before her son, but she didn't expect him to be so quick and enter the room before her.
"Son, what are you doing in your mother's room? This is a woman's room. It's not appropriate for a grown man like you to be here. Get out right now."
No matter how much Jiang Chuntang tried to stop him, Zhang Guoqing ransacked her room, searching for the evidence he wanted.
This is also the evidence Zhao Fang wanted.
He rummaged around and finally found a box under the bed. Knowing that her secret was about to be exposed, Jiang Chuntang snatched the box away before Zhang Guoqing could.
"This is Mom's secret stash of money. Why are you going through Mom's things?"
"Give it to me!" Zhang Guoqing roared.
This was the first time Jiang Chuntang had ever seen her son with such a bad temper, and she was a little intimidated.
But he refused to let go of the suitcase on his body, holding it tightly in his arms.
She absolutely must not let her son see what's inside the box, or she'll be finished.
Zhang Guoqing pressed on relentlessly, leaving Jiang Chuntang with nowhere to retreat. "Whether you hand it over voluntarily, or I take it from you, it's your choice."
The man's patience was wearing thin, and Jiang Chuntang was still delaying handing over the box.
"Don't blame me for using force."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Guoqing unceremoniously grabbed the box from Jiang Chuntang's arms.
He opened the box in front of Jiang Chuntang.
Upon opening it, the top layer was filled with long, thin needles, the size of which matched the ones on Ya Ya's body. What else was there to be confused about?
How many despicable things did his mother secretly do that made Zhao Fang afraid to leave Ya Ya at home?
“These… these are acupuncture needles I learned from an old Chinese medicine doctor in the countryside. These thin, long needles were given to me by the old doctor. Really, son, you have to believe me.”
Zhang Guoqing slightly raised his eyes, as if to say, "Do I look like a fool who's easy to fool?"
He continued to open the second layer, which contained a thick stack of yellow talisman paper and a rag doll with Ya Ya's birth date and time written on it. The talisman and the rag doll were covered with needles.
With a sudden, forceful pull, the long, thin needles on the doll pierced his hand, leaving many holes.
Jiang Chuntang knew she couldn't hide what she had done anymore. She grabbed Zhang Guoqing's hand and said, "Son, how could you be so foolish? Doesn't your hand hurt from holding all these needles like that?"
pain.
It hurts a lot.
But Ya Ya is only a month old; she has to endure such inhuman abuse.
"Why did you do this? Ya Ya is so young. How could you bear to stick such a thin, long needle into her body? So many needle marks, how much pain must she be in?"
“I was so stupid. My child was crying her heart out, and I thought she was too noisy. I handed her over to you, the executioner, and now my daughter has suffered so much.”
"Why? Why? We never said we wouldn't have a second child. You'll have the grandson you want sooner or later. You're using these kinds of methods... It's disgusting."
"Yaya is in your eyes, how could you be so cruel to her? She's your own granddaughter! How could you stab her with those needles? How could you do that..."
"You were so cruel as to shove such a big pin into the child's belly button. You wanted her dead."
“She’s so young and so cute, how could you be so cruel? I was just angry with Zhao Fangou, telling her not to call you an old witch. Even an old hag is kinder than you.”
Hearing her son's evaluation of her, Jiang Chuntang finally couldn't hold back her grievances and burst into tears.
"How can you say that to me? I did all this for your own good. I wanted a grandson. What did I do wrong?"
"The master said that Ya Ya's birth chart is very strong. As long as she exists, all the children you have after that will be daughters, without exception."
“I was terrified when I heard that, so I did as the master said. As long as you torture Yaya to death, any children you and Zhao Fang have will definitely be sons. I... I'm doing this for your own good, son.”
Zhang Guoqing was so angry he laughed. The lingering poison of feudalism... could be attributed to his mother.
"Hahahahaha... Hahahaha... I never thought there was such a stupid mother who would dare to engage in these feudal superstitions in the family dormitory. Do you want your son to be dismissed from his post, investigated, and sent home to grow sweet potatoes?"
Jiang Chuntang shook her head vigorously, "I...I didn't...This is our family matter, they have no right to interfere..."
Zhang Chuntang closed his eyes in anguish; from that moment on, he didn't want to see her.
Otherwise, he might lose control and stick all those long, thin needles into his own mother's body.
He was heartbroken. Ya Ya had cried so much those nights, waiting for her parents to save her, but sadly... they never came.
How desperate Ya Ya must be.
“Tell me the truth, tell me everything about you and that master. If you miss even the slightest detail, I won’t let you off the hook.”
Under Zhang Guoqing's threats, Jiang Chuntang confessed everything, including how the two met and how he taught her to abuse children.
"The master said that as long as you put a pin in the child's belly button, he can guarantee that your second or third child will all be a son."
“At first, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. She would cry very hard as soon as I pricked her with the needle. Later, I started to prick her harder and harder. She probably realized that crying was useless. Later, she felt that it was not good when her crying was quiet.”
Hearing this, Zhang Guoqing felt extremely distressed and touched his chest, trying to catch his breath.
Very good.
What did he do?
If he had been more careful, Ya Ya wouldn't have suffered so much.
"Anything else? Keep going! No pausing! Otherwise, I'll use the same tactics you used on Ya Ya on you."
After Zhang Guoqing's angry roar, Jiang Chuntang confessed everything.
He felt that things were not so simple. There were so many people in the family compound, why did they specifically target his family? Did they take advantage of his mother's desire for a grandson to make her torment her granddaughter like this?
Things are not simple.
