Chapter 263 Pain, it hurts so much
Although she knew the reason, she pretended to know nothing.
"Are you planning to give me custody of Nian'an?"
“Yes.” Fu Siyan said seriously, “I will be transferring my household registration out of the Fu family. I will be settling abroad in a while.”
Shen Qingshu stared at him, "You went to great lengths to win custody of your son, and now you're giving it up so easily?"
“Previously, the Fu family needed an heir.” Fu Siyan remained calm, revealing no flaws. “Now, the Fu family and the Fu family have nothing to do with me. I’m going abroad to start a new company. The early stages of entrepreneurship are busy and unstable. If Nian’an comes with me, I won’t be able to give him enough companionship.”
That's a very reasonable statement.
Shen Qingshu looked at the man in front of her and thought to herself, "He really knows how to lie convincingly."
She asked, "Have you discussed this with Nian'an?"
Fu Siyan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "Not yet."
“Nian’an is quite dependent on you now. These past few days, when you weren’t around, he’s been calling for his dad in his dreams.”
Fu Siyan was taken aback.
Shen Qingshu continued, "Fu Siyan, I am very grateful that you gave Nian'an to me, but Nian'an is already used to following you, and I hope you can consider his opinion."
Fu Siyan's heart clenched painfully.
It hurts, it hurts so much.
If he really only needs to give up custody of his son because he wants to immigrate, then that's good.
But this was just a lie.
The truth is, he doesn't have long to live.
He had to get all of this sorted out as soon as possible before he died.
“I will have a good talk with Nian’an in the next few days.” Fu Siyan suppressed his emotions and said, “A-Shu, Nian’an is still young. His dependence on me will gradually fade over time. Moreover, letting him stay with you and Xiao Anning will be more helpful for his growth.”
Shen Qingshu looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Once you've thought it through, contact me in advance once you've decided on the time to transfer your household registration."
Fu Siyan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. "Okay."
...
Zhao Xinjie agreed to record the documentary.
The documentary was entirely handled by Huanxing, and the entire process of searching for the child was truthfully recorded.
On the third day of filming, the police informed them that the child had been found in the hometown of Zhao Xinjie's ex-husband, Fang Wei.
The filming crew and police officers accompanied Zhao Xinjie to Fang Wei's hometown overnight.
After an eight-hour drive, we arrived at Fang Wei’s hometown at four o’clock the next morning.
It was drizzling in my hometown, and the sky was still dark.
There was a knock on Fang Wei's door.
Fang's mother got up groggily and opened the door. Before she could even see who it was, Zhao Xinjie rushed into the house—
The police officers and filming crew behind them also rushed in.
Shaky camera work creates a more realistic visual impact.
Fang's mother roared, "A thief has broken in! A thief has broken into the house! Fang Wei! Fang Wei—"
The scene became chaotic at one point.
Fang Wei got completely drunk last night and is fast asleep in his room.
The child was found on Fang's mother's bed.
In just one week, Zhao Xinjie almost didn't recognize her child.
The child has been abused!
One eye was swollen, the corner of his mouth was cut and scabbed over, one arm was bound and secured to his chest with an old scarf, and his clothes were very dirty, with dried bloodstains still visible...
Upon seeing this, Zhao Xinjie's eyes instantly turned red.
She gently picked up her son, handed him to the police officer, and then suddenly turned and rushed into the Fang family's kitchen. She found a cleaver and was about to rush into Fang Wei's room.
Of course, it didn't work out; the filming crew stopped them.
The moment the cleaver slipped from her hand, Zhao Xinjie sat on the ground and burst into tears, slapping her face repeatedly with both hands!
The camera captured it all.
That evening, the child was taken to a local hospital for treatment. He had a broken arm and many bruises from the beating, but fortunately, the examination showed no internal damage.
It was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
After confirming that her child was not in any danger, Zhao Xinjie took her son back to Beicheng.
As for Fang Wei, he was arrested and detained by the police that night on suspicion of child abuse, and he will pay the price for his beastly behavior.
Fang's mother brought a group of relatives from her hometown to Beicheng to cause trouble, and Zhao Xinjie called the police again.
Because Fang Wei had a history of domestic violence before his divorce, and because he was secretly hiding and abusing children this time, the police are taking it very seriously.
Fang's mother and her group didn't fare well; they were taken to the police station for a lecture, made to write a guarantee, and finally slunk back to their hometown.
At the end of the documentary, Fang Wei was sentenced to two years in prison.
Before Fang Wei went to prison, the film crew communicated with the case handlers and obtained an opportunity to interview Fang Wei.
Director: "Why are you abusing your child?"
Fang Wei: "I drank too much, and my mind wasn't clear at the time."
Director: "Weren't you even aware of what was happening when you hit the child?"
Fang Wei: "No."
Director: "Have you ever regretted it?"
Fang Wei: "You'll regret it."
Director: "How many times have you hit your child?"
Fang Wei remained silent.
The director then asked, "Knowing that getting drunk will harm the children, why do you still drink?"
Fang Wei seemed to think for a long time before saying, "I'm in a bad mood, drinking this will help me sleep better."
Director: "Do you love your child?"
Fang Wei remained silent again.
Director: "Do you hate your ex-wife?"
Fang Wei: "Hate."
Director: "Why do you hate?"
Fang Wei: "I hate her for divorcing me, I hate her for taking my son away!"
Director: "Were you drinking when you hit your ex-wife?"
Fang Wei: "No."
Director: "You weren't divorced yet, so why did you hit her?"
Fang Wei suddenly laughed and looked up at the director.
The camera captured his smile at that moment, sinister and twisted: "In our family, if a wife doesn't listen to us, she should be beaten."
The director paused for a few seconds and asked, "Did your father also hit your mother?"
Fang Wei: "I hit her all the time, until my dad passed away from liver cancer the year before last, and my mom never mentioned divorce. I only hit her a few times, so why should she divorce me?"
At this point, the director's professionalism crumbled, and he gritted his teeth and swore, but it was cut in post-production.
The documentary ends with Zhao Xinjie and her mother taking her son to the hospital for a follow-up check-up.
The child is recovering well, but the experience of being abused by his biological father has still caused damage to his young mind.
The child also needs to receive regular psychological counseling, and his mother and grandmother will always be there for him.
At the end of the documentary, Zhao Xinjie is holding her son, her grandmother is carrying her mother's bag, and the backs of three generations grow smaller and smaller in the frame...
The end credits sounded—
[The dark sky hangs low, accompanied by a multitude of bright stars...]
The documentary ended with a nursery rhyme.
After filming ended, Zhao Xinjie and her mother took their child and left Beicheng. With Shen Qingshu's advice and help, they moved to the ancient town to settle down.
Shen Qingshu gave Zhao Xinjie a considerable sum of money, enough for her to open a small shop in the ancient town and live a carefree life with her child and mother.
Of course, Shen Qingshu also told Zhao Xinjie that if she ever decides to rekindle her dream of becoming a female martial arts star, Huanxing would welcome her to join them at any time.
The documentary was eventually titled "Because I'm a Mom".
Although "Because I'm a Mom" is a documentary, during post-production, Shen Qingshu suddenly proposed to release it as a short drama on various video apps.
Although the decision was risky, the director eventually agreed because it was a low-budget production.
The short drama "Because I'm a Mom" was released online at 8 pm on Sunday.
Overnight, the number of views skyrocketed, generating significant social buzz.
The explosive popularity of short dramas has brought not only huge profits, but also a huge butterfly effect.
The "Purple Ribbon Mothers" group has thus received high attention from society. More and more Purple Ribbon Mothers have begun to use the short drama "Because I'm a Mother" to speak out and seek help. At this moment, the significance of the development of online information has been completely positively demonstrated.
Many official websites also stepped forward to speak out, and a short drama called "Because I'm a Mom" became a hit, its sparks igniting the flame of hope in the hearts of countless "purple ribbon moms".
"Purple Ribbon Mom" has brought Huanxing a lot of attention and its revenue continues to rise. No one expected that a low-budget documentary could bring such great success. Huanxing's stock price has soared for a week.
Like a dark horse emerging out of nowhere, it shocked countless peers.
Huanxing, a third-rate media company on the verge of bankruptcy and acquired, jumped into the top three of domestic media companies within a week!
This time, Huanxing fought a brilliant battle. Although some keyboard warriors still criticized Huanxing Media for exploiting and profiting from women's suffering, those voices were quickly boycotted by netizens.
The internet can amplify the evil in human nature to the greatest extent, but most people are still rational and kind. The popularity of "Because I'm a Mom" did bring huge benefits to Huanxing, but without its popularity, those "purple ribbon moms" would not have received such high attention from society.
Everything has two sides; there are never absolutes when it comes to human nature.
Shen Qingshu understood this principle, which is why she was able to come up with the idea of making this film the moment she met Zhao Xinjie.
For Zhao Xinjie and many other Purple Ribbon mothers who benefited from this film, Shen Qingshu can be considered their benefactor.
For Huanxing, Shen Qingshu is a qualified CEO.
For Yu Chenqingshu herself, she broke through her own limitations and completed a gamble that killed two birds with one stone.
The same event can have different outcomes depending on who is involved.
…
At the same time, Seventh Master, who was also a partner in the awakening process, also learned of this good news.
Seventh Master specially asked Uncle Li to send over a generous gift.
It is a Qing Dynasty porcelain piece that was lost overseas, and it is extremely valuable.
Shen Qingshu felt it was too valuable and wanted Uncle Li to take it back.
Uncle Li smiled and said, "Our Seventh Master is acknowledging Miss Shen's abilities. He owns many more valuable items than this. He specially chose this porcelain piece to give to Miss Shen, which can be considered as catering to her tastes. I hope Miss Shen will not refuse his kindness."
Since things had come to this point, Shen Qingshu couldn't refuse any longer.
After Uncle Li left, Shen Qingshu received a call from Fu Siyan, asking if she was free at 2 pm to handle the household registration transfer procedures.
Shen Qingshu had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she agreed.
