When everyone looked back, they saw that it was Taohua, the little girl from the Shi family, who was running hurriedly towards the crowd. Naturally, everyone made way for her.
What was even more surprising was that behind her was an elderly woman holding a baby in her arms.
The surrounding villagers looked at her with curiosity. From the stranger's dress, the villagers were sure that this person was from the city. Why did she appear here?
Taohua panted and said, "Mom, a stranger came to our house and said he was looking for the woman my brother brought back."
"I had no choice but to bring her here."
At this time, the baby in the old woman's arms was crying, and she was coaxing the baby while searching among the crowd.
Suddenly I saw Wang Yaomei kneeling on the ground with a look of shock on her face.
"Sister, why are you kneeling here?"
When Yaomei heard her mother's voice, she looked at her in surprise and shouted loudly, "Mom, why are you here?"
The person who came was Wang Xiaolan's stepmother, named Zhang Yanyan, who was 62 years old and retired at home.
She is mean and selfish, and has always had a bad relationship with her colleagues at the factory. Even when walking on the same road, she would argue with passers-by she disliked for a while.
Once, on the bus, a passenger accidentally bumped into her, and she started arguing with the person, which lasted until they got off the bus. When she got home, still furious, she took it out on Wang Xiaolan.
Although she has a hot temper and dislikes everyone, she is very obedient to the two children she has with her ex-husband and never loses her temper.
But she treated Wang Xiaolan and her brother very badly. Wang Xiaolan's brother was so angry that he moved out and never returned home.
Wang Xiaolan was the only outsider left in the family. She couldn't stand everything and often didn't let her have enough to eat. She also made her do all the dirty and tiring work alone.
Normally, making lotus root coal is a job for boys, but her own son was idle.
Wang Xiaolan's father, Wang Danian, saw this and asked his son to help. Because of this, she had a big quarrel with Wang Danian and even had no food to eat.
Wang Xiaolan looked at her in front of her. She looked exhausted and no longer had the arrogant look she had in the past. She knew that she was worried about her disappointing daughter.
She thought to herself, "You deserve it. This is what you sowed all those years ago, and now you have to pay for it all."
The crying of the child broke the quiet atmosphere.
Only then did people react and started talking about it.
Some people are asking, “Whose child is this?”
"Isn't that obvious? It must be Wang Yaomei's."
"Oh my god, isn't she single?"
"How did you give birth to a child?"
"Is it a bastard?"
"The Shi family dares to want a woman like this?"
"This woman just gave birth and she ran here. How cruel."
"The child is crying so hard, he must be hungry! What a sin!"
Zhang Yanyan ignored everyone's comments and cautiously approached Wang Yaomei, begging, "Please let the child drink some milk."
"I didn't." Wang Yaomei said coldly with a look of disgust on her face, without even looking at the child.
"Your child was born after ten months of pregnancy." Zhang Yanyan persuaded her daughter.
"I don't have this child. Give him away! I don't want to see him. He's the one who caused me to lose my job."
Someone in the crowd said, "When you are having fun with others, you should think about the consequences of today."
“Shi family, how did you find such a cruel daughter-in-law?”
Zhang Yanyan was very unhappy when she heard others say this about her daughter. She said, "Don't say that about my daughter. She is already very unfortunate."
When everyone heard her say this, they started talking again.
"What kind of mother are you? You're still trying to defend her at this moment. Do you have to wait until she goes to jail before you come to your senses?"
When the old lady of the Shi family saw that her son had found another woman like this, she thought of Shi Hehua who was in prison. She was so angry that her whole body trembled and she slapped Shi Bulian in the face.
"One person has already been taken into our home, and you've brought another one back. Are you crazy? What the hell have I done to myself?"
When Zhang Yanyan heard what Old Lady Shi said, she became furious and her face looked very ugly.
"Hey, hey, what are you saying, auntie? What happened to my daughter? We are city dwellers after all, eating public grain, and you are just country bumpkins. The fact that my daughter can come to your house is a blessing from your ancestors."
"Yes! This Qingyan is really in the wrong place. You can take my daughter away! We can't afford to support this 'ancestor'."
"You think we like you here."
Then he came up to Wang Yaomei and said, "Get up quickly and come back to the provincial capital with me. Who asked you to come to this godforsaken place?"
"Mom, don't pull me, I can't get up." Wang Yaomei said with a sad face.
"Hey sister, what's wrong with you?"
"It was Wang Danian's daughter who did it."
"What? Wang Danian's daughter? Where is she?" Zhang Yanyan asked in surprise.
"The one standing next to the old lady."
Zhang Yanyan stood up and glared at Wang Xiaolan, saying, "So it was you, you bastard, who did it. You've grown so powerful! How could you not even say hello to me?"
"Why should I greet you? Who are you to me?"
"You are so rude, hurry up and bring me a stool, I'm tired." She said in a commanding tone.
Everyone started talking at once.
"This old lady is like a little chicken in front of her daughter, but like a vicious wolf in front of Dr. Wang. The contrast is too great."
"Doctor Wang, don't move her."
"Humph! How dare she not move for me."
Wang Xiaolan changed her usual reserved attitude and agreed immediately before entering the house, which made everyone feel puzzled. "This is not like her style!"
She just brought a stool from home, put it in front of her, and walked away. Zhang Yanyan looked very proud.
"That's more like it."
She sat down with one leg of the stool tilting to the side, and with a scream, she fell on her back.
The onlookers burst into laughter.
She stood up from the ground cursing and started cursing at Wang Xiaolan, pointing at her nose.
"You stinky bitch, you're playing dirty tricks on me."
"Please be respectful. The person who broke this bench is your daughter. Go find her!"
"What a dare you are, Wang Xiaolan! You actually dare to bully me! Even your father doesn't have such courage."
"You think I'm the Wang Xiaolan of the past. Let me tell you, this is my home. It's not your turn to make a scene here."
"I ask you, what did you do to my daughter?"
"Why are you asking me? Go ask her yourself!"
Someone in the crowd said, "Don't you know what kind of person your daughter is? She came here on her own accord. Doctor Wang didn't ask her to come. How can you be so unreasonable?"
Zhang Yanyan looked at Shi Bulian and asked, "It was you who abducted her?"
