The crowd, who had been arguing, quieted down and looked at Lin Rui's mother, who had stood up.
But at this moment, Lin Rui's mother's gaze was only on her.
Just as everyone was filled with doubt, Lin Rui's mother spoke up...
"Nini's mom, don't you think your desire to show off is very irresponsible?"
Zhou Chunhua was completely dumbfounded.
Want to show off?
She actually thought she was trying to show off and therefore deliberately expanding her influence?
However, when he came to his senses, he found that everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Someone said, "To be honest, if Lin Rui's mother hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have even realized it yet."
"Yes. Her daughter Nini has been found, so what else could she be calling us all here for?"
"Although I was prepared to be used as a tool from the beginning, I'm willing to do anything to get my child back, let alone be a tool!"
"..."
As more and more voices rose up, Zhou Chunhua couldn't help but furrow her brows.
Gu Yao's hand, which was beside him, had been clenched into a fist at some point.
When she saw Gu Yao get up, she placed her hand on the back of Gu Yao's hand.
Gu Yao looked down at her, and she returned his gaze with a firm look in her eyes.
Yes!
She is no longer the Zhou Chunhua of the past, who only relied on others and only hid behind others to compromise!
With a determined look in her eyes, she told Gu Yao that she could handle it herself.
Gu Yao, whose face had been gloomy, sat back down without making a sound.
She returned Gu Yao's smile.
Gu Yao gently pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, but his peripheral vision was fixed on Lin Rui's mother.
Having spent so much time with Gu Yao, she naturally understood his meaning.
She nodded, and was about to explain when a voice spoke before her.
"Everyone, stop making wild guesses! Nini's mother is not that kind of person at all!"
To Zhou Chunhua's surprise, it was Yangyang's father who defended her.
You should know that Yangyang's father has always been a man of few words.
Although he has been in the family-finding groups for many years, the total number of words he has spoken in all the groups over the years is probably less than a hundred.
Old Chen had told her about Yangyang's father's situation back then.
He said that Yangyang's father never expected the group members to provide him with much help.
He stayed in the group simply to observe the photos that other members posted during their search for their relatives.
Regarding the search for the child, Yangyang's father stated frankly that apart from the biological parents who would do everything in their power, no one else would care whether your child is dead or alive.
Otherwise, our ancestors wouldn't have left us the saying: "Everyone sweeps the snow from their own doorstep, and doesn't care about the frost on other people's roofs."
Therefore, he never expects others to give him much help.
However, this person, who always said that he did not trust others, chose to believe her without hesitation when she was questioned.
Zhou Chunhua was genuinely moved.
"Are you very familiar with her? And do you even know who she is?" Lin Rui's mother spoke again. "Does she dare to say that she is magnanimous and selfless? Does she dare to say that she didn't take advantage of any of us from the very beginning?"
At first, I tolerated it because even knowing it was just a straw, I still wanted to try! But now she wants to use the same method to take advantage of even more people. Has she considered how we all feel?
Yangyang's dad! Dear parents! Please think about this calmly: since we came to Qing'an, who has been the one making public appearances? Has Zhou Chunhua ever gone to the petition office with us even once?
Why isn't she going? Isn't it because she's afraid of making enemies? We can accept that! But now that things have finally progressed this far, she's suggesting bringing in even more people. What is she trying to do? What is her purpose?
Aren't you afraid that as more and more people get involved, things will spiral out of control? At that point, besides Zhou Chunhua becoming famous and being idolized by those who don't understand the situation, what will we gain?
"Lin Rui's mother, what do you mean by that?" someone asked.
Many people nodded in agreement.
Lin Rui's mother picked up the cup on the table, took a big gulp of water, and then replied, "I think the leaders of the petition office are right. The fewer people involved, the more advantageous it is for us."
I know some people will say I'm selfish and only think of myself. But so what? The reason we traveled so far to get here is to find our child, isn't it?
Anything that benefits us and our children is worth doing! Those who didn't show up when we needed their help are not just enjoying the fruits of our labor!
Think about it carefully. If the number of people we're looking for is huge, wouldn't the chances of finding our child be even smaller? Besides, the leaders' attitude is that as long as we stop making a fuss, they will do their best to help us find our child!
So I think what we need to do now is not to continue making a scene, but to cooperate with the leadership's arrangements, reduce their workload, and help them find our child as soon as possible!
As soon as Lin Rui's mother finished speaking, someone chimed in, "You know what, I think Lin Rui's mother makes sense. After all, how can ordinary people like us have the power of officials!"
"Yes, yes, let's know when to stop and stop causing trouble. We should cooperate with the leader's arrangements as soon as possible."
"Come to think of it, it seems that's really the case. If Wang Lin were to sell someone abroad, we wouldn't be able to do anything about it ourselves and would have to rely on our superiors."
"..."
As more and more people sided with Lin Rui's mother, she slowly sat back down in her seat.
Just as everyone was speculating, Yangyang's father suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
This time, Zhou Chunhua also stood up.
She placed her hand on Yangyang's father's shoulder, gave him a grateful smile, and then frankly said, "Yes! I admit that at first, I had selfish motives and used everyone's momentum to put pressure on them."
But I don't see anything wrong with that. Because if we consider it from one person's perspective, aren't everyone else being used?
"As long as we achieve our goal, isn't that enough? On the contrary, Lin Rui's mother, if I remember correctly, in the past at the petition office, instead of talking in front of everyone, they called you in alone today, right?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of panic flashed in Lin Rui's mother's eyes.
Although it was only for a moment, she still managed to capture it.
"You... Nini's mom, what do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean?" Zhou Chunhua laughed: "Do I really have to spell it out in front of everyone?"
"I...I don't understand what you're saying!" Lin Rui's mother remained stubborn.
