Feng Juan had a difficult delivery and needed many stitches during the episiotomy. She had no time to sleep and was instead thinking about how to secretly replace someone else's baby.
With so many people coming to Su Yuhe's house, Feng Juan realized earlier than her mother-in-law that it would be difficult to change.
But she thought about it all night and actually came up with a solution.
She said she wanted to go to the bathroom, but her mother-in-law ignored her. Annoyed, she said, "The bathroom is right at the end of the hallway. Why are you being so fussy? You gave birth to a money-loser and you expect me to work like a slave for you?"
Feng Juan blocked out those unpleasant words and whispered, "Mom, I have a way..."
Her mother-in-law paused, pulled Feng Juan up with a sour face, and helped her out.
Ye Yunshu heard what they said and watched the two people leave.
I couldn't help but look at the small basket beside their bed. This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were so careless that they dared to leave the child alone in the ward when no one was around.
Fortunately, it was Ye Yunshu and the others. If they had met someone else, they would have been taken away long ago.
At this time, Baosheng snorted, and Ye Yunshu reached out and patted him: "Little clever boy."
But Baosheng's cry just now was like a warning. When he found someone patting and comforting him, he started howling at the top of his lungs.
Su Yuhe woke up instantly, still a little confused: "Baosheng?"
Jiang Lin was awake at the door. When he heard the crying, he walked in: "What's going on?"
Ye Yunshu picked up Baosheng, touched his butt, and found that his diaper was not wet. She said, "Oh, he must be hungry."
Jiang Lin helped Su Yuhe sit up and frowned, "Why are you hungry again? I only fed you two hours ago."
He glanced at his watch.
Ye Yunshu rolled her eyes at Jiang Lin: "How can you men know how to feed a child? You take off your shoes, lie down on the kang, and fall asleep. How can you know how many times a woman gets up at night..."
Jiang Lin shut up. He really didn't know.
But he felt sorry for Su Yuhe, as it was only the first night.
Su Yuhe's eyes were hazy, but she was still forcing herself to hold the child and feed him, and she even ripped her clothes unconsciously.
Jiang Lin tidied up Su Yuhe's clothes and reached out to support Baosheng to relieve Su Yuhe's pressure.
Jiang Lin asked Ye Yunshu to go out the door. There was a bench in the corridor where she could lie down and sleep.
Ye Yunshu looked at the two new parents and felt a little worried, but seeing that their actions were quite careful, she gave them a few instructions before leaving.
Su Yuhe was yawning. After feeding the baby, Jiang Lin put the baby back in the basket, went out to see Ye Yunshu lying down and sleeping, then turned back to the ward and sat directly where Ye Yunshu had sat before.
Feng Juan's side was not so peaceful.
When Feng Juan's mother-in-law got to the toilet, she let go of Feng Juan. She didn't think Feng Juan really wanted to go to the toilet, and her face was very ugly: "Tell me, what do you have in mind?"
Feng Juan: "They have too many people, so we can't find any gaps, but we can create opportunities..."
When Feng Juan's mother-in-law heard the last part, her triangular eyes, filled with calculation, narrowed. "How can this work? Besides, I've already said that if a girl is born, she will be sent to the next village to be raised."
Feng Juan knew that she must have found someone. Disgust rose in her heart, but she said, "Mom, we can't be so greedy. It's easier to take one child out than two. Besides, with a child here, they won't find out so quickly."
Her mother-in-law was still a little hesitant: "But they gave birth to a son. If they found out, they wouldn't raise the girl and would just throw her away. It would be better for me to give her away and get twenty eggs."
Feng Juan felt that if the other party found out that their son had been replaced and only a girl was left, they would definitely not abandon her, but would keep her to replace their son.
Su Yuhe must be serious about raising children, better than the people in the next village.
Feng Juan hopes that the change will be successful.
In the end, Feng Juan persuaded her mother-in-law and did as she said.
When I returned to the ward, I found Ye Yunshu lying outside and the person inside was replaced by Jiang Lin.
It is a bit difficult, but it is still possible to succeed according to the plan.
Jiang Lin didn't even look at them, and only looked at his wife and baby.
So I didn't notice that Feng Juan's mother-in-law went out.
About half an hour later, two nurses in white came in and said they wanted to take the child to do something.
Jiang Lin saw two nurses coming, one of whom went to Feng Juan. He thought it was normal and just asked them to speak quietly so as not to disturb anyone.
The two children were taken away.
Jiang Lin only realized later that something was wrong. Which hospital took the child away in the middle of the night?
He hadn't thought about Feng Juan yet because her child had also been taken away.
Feng Juan didn't move, Jiang Lin couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up.
At this time, the nurse came back and whispered to Jiang Lin that there was no problem. She put the child in the basket and left.
Jiang Lin took a look. The light was dim, but he could still see that it was a baby's face. He didn't look too closely and thought he was just overthinking.
A nurse from Feng Juan's side also came in with the baby.
Jiang Lin didn't notice it. If he had looked a few more times, he might have found that it was just an empty blanket with no child inside.
Grandma Feng Juan took the child in her arms, but she didn't know where to go. It was too dark, and for some reason, she simply sat down in the hospital lobby.
She looked greedily at the baby boy in her arms who was sleeping soundly without crying or making a fuss. She touched him with her calloused hands and was satisfied no matter how she looked at him. "My eldest grandson is so well behaved. I'll boil eggs for you from now on."
Baosheng's tender skin was scratched, and he opened his mouth and hummed again.
This caught the attention of the night nurse, who kept looking over here.
Grandma Feng Juan said with an embarrassed look on her face: "My eldest grandson is sick, and his father is getting medicine. I just need to comfort him and he will be fine."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head to coax Baosheng.
The nurse believed her and continued to do her own thing.
At dawn, Mother-in-law Feng Juan left with the child.
She planned to go to the grocery factory where her son worked first.
The child in the ward upstairs hadn't cried yet. From Jiang Lin's perspective, it had been three hours since the last feeding.
But Baosheng didn't cry.
Jiang Lin didn't care.
Before Feng Juan had the baby taken away, she fed him a full meal. From her perspective, the baby definitely didn't cry after being fed for just over an hour.
She glanced at Jiang Lin's child reluctantly, but quickly looked away for fear of being noticed.
Ye Yunshu woke up, went to the bathroom and washed her face before returning to the ward.
She immediately went to check on Baosheng and touched his bottom. His diaper was not wet, and she was puzzled: "Hasn't he peed yet? Did you change it when he woke up to drink milk last night?"
The last sentence was asked while looking at Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment: "I only fed him once. Weren't you here too, Mom? Did you change the diaper?"
It means he didn't change.
Ye Yunshu frowned and looked at "Baosheng" again.
After just two sentences, the light in the room became much brighter.
Ye Yunshu looked at the baby's sleeping face for a few more seconds and found that the bridge of the nose and mouth had changed.
But the clothes the children packed were indeed theirs.
