With eyes full of resentment, Old Lady Fu revealed the truth without any mercy, "Little sister, although it is regrettable, I have decided to tell you the truth. Pei Guangzong is not your Pei family's grandson at all. He is my brother and sister-in-law's biological grandson, and my Cui family's nephew's biological son. Back then, when Cui Hailu brought the child home to visit relatives, she secretly switched the child. Your Pei family's real young master is now in Xiangyang Village, and has become my Fu family's grandson, named Fu Jingchen."
“I actually knew about the child swap, but I didn’t know that the child you were swapped with was Pei’s grandson. Back then, my brother and Hailu promised me that my grandson would go to the city to enjoy a life of luxury. My family was poor and couldn’t afford to raise so many children, so I agreed to the swap without really understanding what was going on. I thought my grandson would be able to go to a rich family to enjoy a life of luxury, but I never expected that Cui Hailu would go back to the Cui family and swap my grandson with her own nephew!”
"This led to my grandson living under the oppression of the Pei family, being abused and starved, until recently when Fu Jingchen discovered that he was not their biological son, and the truth was revealed. That's why my son and I rushed to Beijing to expose the true colors of you aunt and nephew."
As the truth was revealed, the three members of the Pei family were struck dumb.
Cui Hailu never dreamed that her own aunt would be the one to destroy her. "Aunt, you're slandering me!"
My aunt clearly agreed to the switch, and even enjoyed facilitating it. How did she come to say that she was unaware of it?
Is her aunt planning to ruin her and, in the process, clear her own name?
Pei Tai, his face grim, questioned, "Why keep changing them? What's the purpose?"
Grandma Fu pretended to be a victim and continued to accuse the Cui family of their evil deeds. "Because the Cui family never intended for my grandson to enjoy a life of luxury. They deceived me and the Fu family, made promises to the Fu family, and made the Fu family grateful to the Cui family. For this favor, the Fu family was willing to be bleed dry by the Cui family for twenty years and become the Cui family's money bag without ever complaining."
“Even my savings for my funeral and Fu Jingchen’s monthly salary were swindled away by the Cui family. Since he’s not their biological son, I inevitably neglected Fu Jingchen. After all, I have so many grandchildren. It’s understandable that Fu Jingchen would have resentment towards the Fu family. The culprit is the Cui family. If it weren’t for their selfish desires, my grandson and Fu Jingchen wouldn’t have been separated from their family for twenty years.”
"The thing I regret most in my life is agreeing to the switch. I regret listening to the Cui family's lies and working like a slave for them. In the end, my own grandson became mentally disabled, my husband divorced me and remarried, and my youngest son and all my descendants abandoned me. They either left or severed ties with me. Only my eldest son, Fu Yuzhong, is left by my side. My old age is so miserable..."
"All of this is thanks to the Cui family. My husband and children kicked me out of the Fu family. I thought that if I went back to my parents' home, they would take me in. But when they found out that I was divorced and they couldn't squeeze any more money out of the Fu family, they kicked the door down. They thought I was a disgrace and wanted to sever ties with me, ignoring all the support and sacrifices I had made in the past. Don't you think they are ungrateful? They have forgotten that most of what I eat, wear, and use over the years was subsidized by the Fu family."
“I was hoping my family would act as a mediator and support me, but they turned around and started talking to people about selling me to a widower for a dowry. The Cui family is inhuman!”
“I got divorced, my family is gone, and after my eldest daughter-in-law and her son found out about the baby swap, they also divorced and cut off all ties with my son. The once prosperous Fu family is now completely broken up, and my son and I are left to depend on each other for survival, with no one to support us.”
Upon hearing this, the onlookers inside the house felt quite sympathetic towards Old Lady Fu's plight.
Grandma Fu's experience taught them a truth: those who support their mothers in the end will end up with nothing.
Now that Old Madam Fu has personally stepped in and confirmed the truth about her niece being switched with her maiden family, it remains to be seen how the Pei family will react.
Should we trust Grandma Fu? Or should we trust Cui Hailu, with whom we've lived for over twenty years?
