Chapter 205 We gave him up for adoption
Yang Jinsheng was also confused. He quickly pulled Zhou Yu, who had a gloomy face, to sit down. "Brother-in-law, please sit down first. What's going on? Tell us in detail."
"How else could it be? That bitch Zhou Xiaoqing did it on purpose. She swapped my son, then threw him away and walked away. She even wants us to raise her son. She has a really good plan." Zhou Yu said gritting his teeth.
"Leave? Where did she go? Didn't she say she was from a nearby village?" Jiang Xinbai became more and more confused the more he listened. Why didn't he understand?
Seeing that Jiang Xinbai and the others still didn't understand, Zhou Yu looked at the table and repeated what he had discovered.
As soon as Zhou Yu arrived at the village where Zhou Xiaoqing lived, he grabbed a child, gave him two candies, and coaxed him, "Child, do you know Zhou Xiaoqing? Where is her home?"
Little Tiger squeezed the candy Zhou Yu gave him, widened his eyes and asked, "I know, what do you want to see Aunt Zhou for?"
Zhou Yu glanced at him and threatened: "Why do you care about me? You want to take my candy for free? If you don't tell me, give it back to me."
Xiao Huzi stuffed the candy into his pocket, took two steps back, and muttered, "You gave it to me yourself, you can't take it back. I'll just take you to Aunt Zhou's house."
As he said that, he walked towards the village. Zhou Yu followed him pushing his bicycle, but they ran into an old lady after walking a few steps. She pulled Xiao Huzi over and looked at Zhou Yu warily, "Who are you? You look unfamiliar, definitely not from our neighborhood. What do you want to do with my grandson?"
After saying that, he grabbed Xiao Huzi's ear and threatened him, "Boy, I told you not to talk to strangers. You will regret it when someone kidnaps you and sells you..."
"Hiss, it hurts, grandma, grandma, he is not a bad person, he even gave me candy and asked me to take him to find Aunt Zhou..." After Xiao Huzi rescued his ear from his grandma's hands, he hid aside and looked at his grandma angrily while speaking.
The old lady, also known as Mrs. Wang, was stunned and squinted at Zhou Yu. "Who are you looking for? Most people in our village have the surname Zhou."
Zhou Yu glanced at the old lady, then handed over fifty cents and asked with a smile: "Auntie, I just want to know where Zhou Xiaoqing lives next year, nothing else..."
"Oh~, I see. You want a child too? You're late." Old Lady Wang looked at Zhou Yu with regret before he finished speaking. She thought to herself, he looks so tall, but I didn't expect he has problems in that area. I really can't tell.
Zhou Yu's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Auntie, what do you mean by child?"
"What do you mean? You're still hiding it. Don't you just want to take a baby back home? I'm telling you, Zhou Xiaoqing has already given the child away. You're too late. If you really want to adopt a child, you should do it as soon as possible. You don't have to wait until someone's child is born before asking."
Old Mrs. Wang shook her head as she spoke. "Well, it's a boy, no wonder everyone is scrambling to raise him. If it was a girl, no one would want her even if she was given away for free."
Zhou Yu learned a piece of information from the old lady's words, that is, the people in the village probably knew that Zhou Xiaoqing gave the child away, but why did she give it away? Did they know that Zhou Xiaoqing had exchanged someone else's child?
So he also sighed, "Oh, it's my fault. I was delayed. But where is Zhou Xiaoqing? I'll go ask her."
Old Lady Wang rolled her eyes at Zhou Yu. "Ask? Are you trying to reserve the next one? Just give up on this idea. Zhou Xiaoqing gave her own son away because her husband was gone, her parents and her husband's families didn't care about her, and she couldn't support the child, so she wanted to find a way out for the child."
"Ah, is that so? I can't tell..."
"What did you see? You've never seen Zhou Xiaoqing." Old Mrs. Wang looked suspicious.
Zhou Yu smiled quickly and stuffed the fifty cents in his hand into Old Lady Wang's hand, "Auntie, take it. That's not what I meant. You want to know where Zhou Xiaoqing went? Actually, I was a friend of her husband's when he was alive. I didn't even know she was gone out of the blue, so I thought of coming to see Zhou Xiaoqing, but who knew? Hey, you said this made a fuss."
When Old Lady Wang heard what Zhou Yu said, she half believed it. She clenched the money in her hand and said with a smile, "Don't blame Zhou Xiaoqing. She had a hard life. She gave her own child away and went to support the border provinces. She passed away two days ago! It's hard to say whether I can see her again in this life."
Zhou Yu frowned when he heard this, thinking, she has a miserable life? My husband and I have a miserable life, we almost have to help outsiders raise children, we should let her stay in the border province for the rest of her life, let her suffer to death, damn it.
"Oh, then do you know which family Zhou Xiaoqing gave the child to?" Zhou Yu asked tentatively. If the villagers knew about it, it would be a trouble in the future.
Old Lady Wang looked at Zhou Yu as if he were a fool. "Are you stupid? This is a confidential matter. Who would tell anyone about it? Anyway, I don't know about it. Zhou Xiaoqing's parents probably don't know about it either, otherwise they would have gone to that family to ask for nutrition money. After all, it's a boy!"
Zhou Yu felt relieved after hearing this. It was better not to know. Since the instigator had escaped, then let the matter leave it at that. It would be best if he didn't meet Zhou Xiaoqing again, otherwise, haha!
"So, brother-in-law, you just came back like this?" Yang Jinsheng asked Zhou Yu. This was equivalent to letting Zhou Xiaoqing go, which made him angry for no reason.
Zhou Yu sighed helplessly, "What else can I do if I don't come back? Why would I stay at her house for dinner? I just don't want to make a big deal out of it. Firstly, I'm afraid your eldest sister won't be able to handle it, and secondly, I'm afraid that people outside will talk about it and cause unnecessary impact on the child."
Jiang Xinbai nodded and said, "Yes, if people knew about this, even if the eldest nephew is his biological son, they would be able to make up other lies, saying that the nephew was taken away by mistake and that he doesn't look like his sister and brother-in-law. Anyway, people will talk nonsense when they are full, and you can't control them, so it's better not to let them know from the beginning."
After hearing Jiang Xinbai's words, Zhou Yu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's what Xinbai meant. Forget it, let Zhou Xiaoqing go for now."
Since the biological father of the child said so, Yang Jinsheng had nothing to say. He just pointed at the child who had finished drinking the milk powder and fell asleep and asked, "What should we do about this? We can't just raise him at home, right? The milk powder will run out one day, and we can't afford it."
Zhou Yu was also in a dilemma. What should he do with this living child?
Jiang Xinbai thought of what her husband had said to her last night. She opened her mouth and said, "Brother-in-law, why don't you give the child to us? Don't ask any more questions. We will find a family to adopt him."
