Every child is a treasure, and it is useless to regret after something happens. She also said that she would cooperate with Li Qingyun and observe Chen Guizhi's situation privately.
Li Qingyun left leisurely after receiving the assurance.
After school that day, she immediately picked up her second child and took him home. When she got home, she gave him a large bottle of milk. All she could hear was the gurgling sound of him swallowing. In a few gulps, the whole bottle of milk was finished.
This is the normal behavior of people who work hard, and she became more and more certain that her suspicion was correct.
Now we just have to wait until tomorrow to catch the criminals red-handed.
The next morning
As usual, Li Qingyun took her second baby to the nursery and handed all the necessary items including milk powder and diapers to Chen Guizhi. Looking at her attentive smile, Li Qingyun felt only irony.
Gu Tingzhou saved her son on the train and gave her son two meals of milk powder, which can be considered a favor.
And this is how she reciprocated.
A real Zhongshan wolf.
Restraining the anger in her heart, Li Qingyun walked into the Yuhong class as usual.
She switched classes with the older girl in the afternoon Yuhong class just to free up time to catch the thief.
When it was almost three o'clock, Li Qingyun and Director Niu stood outside the window and observed quietly. Erbao and Chen Guizhi's son Dongdong were awake and playing on the side. Chen Guizhi arranged for several older children to play nearby.
Then he went into the inner room and made a bottle of "milk" for the second baby.
As usual, it was a bottle of pale white water.
Let the second baby sit on a small stool to "drink milk".
She observed for a while and found that the other two older sisters were busy taking care of the children, so she quietly took her son into the small storage room next to them.
He looks sneaky and you can tell at first glance that he is not up to any good.
Only then did Director Niu truly believe that Li Qingyun had not wrongly accused anyone, and that she was indeed up to something.
His face turned ashen in an instant.
Without Li Qingyun's call, she rushed forward and kicked open the door of the utility room.
The door was locked from the inside, but because it was an old-fashioned latch, Director Niu kicked it hard and the door couldn't bear the weight and bounced open, scaring Chen Guizhi and her son who were doing something bad inside.
Dongdong was so frightened that he couldn't even cry.
I saw Chen Guizhi holding a bowl and a spoon and feeding Dongdong.
Director Niu pointed at the milk in the bowl and asked, "Chen Guizhi, tell me, what is this?"
Chen Guizhi saw so many people looking at her, and Li Qingyun was still holding Erbao's bottle in her hand, looking at her with a forced smile. She knew she must have been exposed.
"Director Niu, sister, please listen to my explanation." She knelt down in panic.
Chen Guizhi was extremely regretful at this time. Why did she covet other people's things? Now she was in a difficult situation and even lost her job.
No matter how expensive milk powder is, you can always buy it if you work hard to earn money. If you lose your job, you will have nothing, and you may even drag your husband down with you.
At first, Dongdong smelled the milk of Erbao and pestered her for milk too, but she had little milk and had weaned him long ago.
The child was crying so hard that she quietly poured some milk from Erbao's bottle and fed it to him. He drank it with great relish.
Then she came up with an idea. Since Erbao's mother didn't know anyway, she might as well pour out half of it for Dongdong to drink every day.
A few days passed like this, everything was peaceful and no one noticed.
Her appetite became bigger and bigger. Anyway, the second baby was growing up so well and his family was well-off, so he didn't need milk. Her own baby was growing up thin and weak, so he needed more nutrition.
So she went even further and replaced Erbao's milk with water, adding only a little milk powder as small as a fingernail to make the water look white.
The nursery was busy and no one noticed. The baby was still young and would not tell his mother that he did not get any milk.
She thought she had done it perfectly, but she didn't expect that the law is so strict that nothing can escape it, and she was still discovered.
"Explain yourself! Let me see what excuse you can come up with!"
"My child really wants to drink milk. I gave birth to him eight months prematurely and he's weak. I really have no other choice. Big sister, please forgive me this time. I won't dare to do it again. I kowtow to you."
Chen Guizhi knew that her only chance now was to ask for Li Qingyun's forgiveness, so she slammed her head against the ground several times.
Everyone in the nursery was moved by what they saw, and Li Qingyun felt a little relieved, but only a little. This woman was obviously trying to morally blackmail her, but it was a pity that she, Li Qingyun, was just a mortal and could not be a saint.
"If apologies are useful, what is the use of the police?
If your child wants to drink milk, you can spend money to buy it for him instead of being a thief and stealing another baby's food. He is so young and can't even speak. How can you bear to bully him?
Also, is your child's weakness my fault? Does it have anything to do with me? Why should I be responsible for your child?
I want to ask everyone here, can't you buy a bag of milk powder with your nursery wages? Comrade Chen Guizhi, stealing is stealing, why bother to make it sound so high-sounding and righteous?
To sum up, I will not and dare not forgive you, because your character is not suitable for this position at all.
I hope Director Niu can give me a satisfactory result on this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will have to ask the military district leaders to handle it."
Although Li Qingyun's attitude was tough, she did not go to extremes and left a glimmer of hope for Chen Guizhi's family. This was also because Chen Guizhi usually took good care of the children.
She only told Director Niu to deal with Chen Guizhi. As long as she was satisfied, she would not report the matter to the military district leaders, and Chen Guizhi's man would not be influenced by her.
Director Niu also understood her implication and thought to himself, although Xiao Li may be harsh in words, he is actually a kind person at heart.
After hearing Li Qingyun's answer, several older sisters who had been somewhat relieved came to their senses and realized that they had been influenced by Chen Guizhi's pitiful words.
If everyone who makes a mistake can turn the page on their mistakes by kneeling on the ground, kowtow a few times, and saying a few nice words, then this world would be too terrible.
Teacher Li and Erbao are the real victims, especially the lovely little Erbao. I don’t know how many meals this damn Chen Guizhi has made them hungry.
"Teacher Li is right. If something like this happens in our nursery, we must deal with it seriously. Otherwise, if everyone knows about it, who would dare to send their children here?"
"Yeah, one bad apple spoils the whole barrel."
Everyone rushed to express their opinions.
Chen Guizhi became anxious when she saw that Li Qingyun had made everyone take sides with her in just a few words.
"What do you know?"
