Chapter 318 Zhou Xiaoqing Understands
Yang Xiufen was confused. "So how did you find out?"
"Ah," Zhou Yu sighed, and then explained, "It was Jinsheng and Xinbai who found it. A few days later, Jinsheng came to me and said that a child was thrown outside his house. When Xinbai was changing the diaper, he found a red spot on the child's buttocks and joked that it was Xiaoyuan. Later, the two of them found it more and more strange, so they came to ask me.
I was a little skeptical when I heard that. You were still in confinement at the time, so Jinsheng and I went to the hospital to check the child's birth information. Later we saw that our son did have a red spot on his buttocks.
Later, Jinsheng insisted to see the information of Zhou Xiaoqing's child. It said that there were six fingers on the left hand, that is, there was an extra finger on the thumb. I went home and secretly looked at the child, and it was indeed an extra finger. In the end, I took advantage of your inattention to exchange the two children. "
"Mom and Dad, you brought your child home for several days and didn't you notice that the child had an extra finger?"
Zhou Zhiyuan was speechless. He had been home for several days and still hadn't noticed that the child had been swapped. This couple really didn't care about the eldest child at all.
Yang Xiufen quickly explained: "I was in confinement at the time, and basically just fed you. I didn't even change your diaper, so of course I didn't notice."
"Yes, at that time the child's hands were all retracted into his clothes. Who could see them if they were not pulled out?" Zhou Yu also defended himself.
"So I was able to be exchanged back thanks to my uncle and aunt. I must be filial to them in the future." Zhou Zhiyuan said seriously.
"Oh, that's right, you have to respect your uncle and aunt."
Zhou Yu also agreed and said that Jinsheng had not asked him for any help over the years, so he would always owe him this favor. It would be right for Xiaoyuan to be filial to Jinsheng and his wife in the future.
"So where is Zhou Xiaoqing's son? Where did you throw him?" Yang Xiufen suddenly asked. He couldn't have disappeared out of thin air!
When Zhou Yu heard his wife ask this, his eyes flickered and he said vaguely, "I definitely didn't throw it away. There were so many families who wanted sons at that time, so I just gave it to a random family. I forgot where it was. Oh, don't ask us. Anyway, we have to pretend that we don't know about the child swap. There's no way Zhou Xiaoqing's son can be found."
"So Zhou Xiaoqing is so lucky?" Zhou Zhiyuan was still a little angry. Zhou Xiaoqing was really cruel. In order to find a good family for her son, she not only said nothing but also threw him away. If it weren't for his uncle and aunt, he wouldn't know where he is suffering now!
Zhou Yu patted his son's shoulder and consoled him, "Hey, Dad knows you're angry. At that time, I wanted to find Zhou Xiaoqing to settle the score, but when I went to her village, people said her husband had died and she had run away. I couldn't find her even if I wanted to."
Yang Xiufen also comforted him, "Son, don't be angry. Zhou Xiaoqing is getting her comeuppance. Now she can't find her biological son even if she wants to."
"Hmph, she got it easy. But, Dad, what if she comes looking for me again?" It was Zhou Xiaoqing who did something wrong, so why is he so scared of this and that?
"It's okay. If she pesters you again, call the police. I'll see what she dares to say."
Zhou Yu thought that there was no evidence anyway. Even if Zhou Xiaoqing really dared to tell others what he had done, he would have to make others believe him. He would not admit it anyway.
As they talked heatedly, Zhou Xiaoqing also reacted. She immediately found the place where the child was lost according to the house number on the notebook. After waiting for a while, no one came out. Then she pulled a boy, handed him a dollar, and asked with a smile: "Boy, I want to ask you a question. If you answer it well, I will give you another dollar."
The boy who was held back stared at the money and nodded repeatedly, "Auntie, if you have anything to ask, just ask! There is nothing around here that I, Hu Zi, don't know."
After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoqing pointed at the gate of Jiang Xinbai's house and asked in a low voice: "Let me ask you, how many children does this family have?"
Hu Zi glanced at the door of Jiang Xinbai's house, scratched his hair, and said with a smile: "I know, two children, Jiabao brother and Jiadong brother, auntie, why are you asking this?"
"No, I just asked." Zhou Xiaoqing was a little suspicious when she heard it. When she went to this family, she specially asked about it. They only had one boy. Could it be that they raised the child themselves? But it didn't make sense. She really did swap the child. How could it be wrong?
"Auntie, I have answered, please give me your one dollar!" Hu Zi asked with envy as he looked at the one dollar in Zhou Xiaoqing's hand.
Zhou Xiaoqing came back to his senses, squeezed the money, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I haven't finished asking! Money is not so easy to make."
Hu Zi curled his lips after hearing this and said, "Then ask, but you have to give me the money after you're done."
"Here, let me ask you, how old is the younger child in that family?" If this family raised the child she abandoned, the age difference between the two children should not be too big.
"Brother Jiadong? He's older than me, probably about fifteen years old!" Hu Zi answered with a smile. He remembered that he was three years older than him.
"Fifteen years old? That's not right. It should be seventeen. Why is it fifteen?" Zhou Xiaoqing said to herself. She was very confused at the moment.
"Auntie, what are you talking about? Brother Jiadong is only fifteen years old, if I remember correctly. Are you going to give him the money?" Hu Zi asked impatiently.
Zhou Xiaoqing directly threw a dollar in his hand to Hu Zi, "Here you go. Don't tell anyone else about what I asked you, okay? Otherwise, I will ask for the money back."
When Hu Zi heard her words, his eyes widened, and without saying anything, he turned around and ran away.
Zhou Xiaoqing returned to the hotel where she was staying in a state of despair, wondering what had gone wrong. How could her child be gone? She had clearly swapped the two children, so how come Zhou Zhiyuan's left hand was intact? She remembered that her son had an extra finger on his left hand.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she stood up from the bed, stared out the window, and muttered to herself: "Could it be, could it be that the two families knew each other? So they found out and then switched the child back?"
The more Zhou Xiaoqing thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. She could not wait any longer and ran out immediately. She wanted to check to see if Yang Xiufen and Zhou Yu were relatives of that family.
Zhou Xiaoqing used the same trick again and spent a few dollars to find an old lady to inquire about Jiang Xinbai's family.
The old lady took the money and answered very straightforwardly: "Which family are you talking about? I know. The man's surname is Yang and the woman's surname is Jiang. So, they are your relatives!"
"Yang, both of us have the last name Yang, no wonder, no wonder, I was cheated, I was cheated..." Zhou Xiaoqing muttered these words and left, leaving the old lady in a daze, "What a weird guy, he only asked two questions after I gave him two dollars, oh, it would be great if there were more idiots like this every day."
