Wei Juan originally wanted to say that Zhong Yun'er was heartless, but after all, she was her own daughter, and she couldn't bear to say a harsh word to her. The words she wanted to say turned around a few times, and in the end, she could only sigh helplessly.
As more people filled the corridor, Zhong Yun'er dared not walk too fast. She had to rest for a while after every big step she took. The pain in her body had not yet subsided, and she relied almost all her strength on Wei Juan.
“When we came to the hospital at noon, I told you not to come with me. I knew you would start grumbling again. This is a lifelong habit of yours. You nag me at home, and now you still won’t stop after our daughter gave birth. Since it was our daughter’s idea, you should just support her. Why are you making so many questions?”
Zhong Hongliang looked around warily, as if he were holding a hot potato.
Zhong Yun'er nodded in agreement, "Mom, when will you have the same awareness as Dad? Even if he is my biological son, so what? He is a cripple. Do you think I can rely on a useless person to take care of me in my old age and see me off in my final days? I don't want to be laughed at when I go back."
If the child she gives birth to has problems, people will only think that she is incompetent.
"Even a slut like Li Qingqing can give birth to a healthy child, so why is my child mute and deaf?"
Wei Juan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't hold back.
“Yun’er, of course I know you’re suffering. I’m just worried that you’ll regret it later. This child is Li Qingqing’s and Duan Huaichuan’s. If Huaichuan finds out, all the friendship you had before will be gone.”
Zhong Yun'er stopped and looked at the still sleeping baby, a slight smile playing on her lips. "No, if Brother Huaichuan knew that I raised his child, he would only be grateful to me. This is the only way I can have any contact with Brother Huaichuan again."
After she finished speaking, as if she had made up her mind, she said firmly, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely marry Brother Huaichuan in the future!"
Wei Juan frowned deeply. "Daughter, you can't say things like that. If your son-in-law hears you, you two..."
“Jia Sheng is about to be laid off. If I keep following him, I don’t know if I’ll be able to make a living in the future. Mom, he used to be the deputy director, but things are different now. I have to make plans for myself.”
Zhong Hongliang looked on with satisfaction. “As expected of my daughter, she thinks long-term. You did the right thing. Jia Sheng will soon become a laid-off worker, and his future will be difficult. But Duan Huaisheng is still in the army and has a stable salary every month. If you can really marry him, at least you will be set for life.”
Wei Juan was completely baffled. "But Duan Huanchuan is already married. He's quite a catch, and Li Qingqing worked so hard to get him. How could she be so willing to divorce him?"
Zhong Yun'er sneered, her eyes full of mockery. "So what if she doesn't want to? Huai Chuan and I grew up together. We've been through so much together. She would never do that, not even if she died. Besides, she gave birth to a disabled child for Huai Chuan. What face does she have to stay by Huai Chuan's side?"
Zhong Hongliang thought about it and it made more and more sense. He naturally didn't want his daughter to live with a laid-off worker and go hungry.
“That’s right. There’s no use keeping a deaf-mute person at home. If we really bring them back, people will just gossip and laugh at us. Li Qingqing’s child is so healthy and is Duan Huaichuan’s offspring. Now you’re raising him from a young age, so he’s no different from his biological mother. As for that deaf-mute child, let’s see how he turns out. If Li Qingqing raises him well, we can take him back later. It will be all our benefit.”
Although this child is not her own daughter's biological child, she has been raising him since the day he was born and he is fed by her daughter's milk. If you really think about it, apart from not being born in Zhong Yun'er's womb, there is no difference between him and her own child.
Once the child grows up, what's the point of talking about stepmothers?
The kindness of raising someone is greater than the kindness of giving birth to them.
Zhong Yun'er's eyes lit up. "Dad, you're so thoughtful. I heard that Li Qingqing had good grades when she was in school. What if she can really teach a college student? Then we can take the child back. It would be the best of both worlds."
She originally only wanted to switch her disabled child, so whether he lived or died was none of her business. But if Li Qingqing really got lucky, she, as the child's biological mother, could still try to win him over.
Shu Ying's hands trembled uncontrollably.
At that moment, she was just glad that she hadn't left and was able to clearly foresee the Zhong family's scheme.
Thinking about what Li Qingqing had experienced in her previous life, Shu Ying understood everything.
No wonder her body broke down so quickly. Childbirth is already difficult, and she was already exhausted after giving birth. Then these heartless people shoved a problematic child into her life.
Li Qingqing was kind-hearted by nature. She was like a soft persimmon that could be easily manipulated. She never doubted that the child was not her biological child.
If her child has a problem, she will only blame herself for not giving her child a healthy body.
Unable to contact her husband, unable to rely on her family, and living in constant self-blame, she had to send all the little money she saved up to her husband.
I can't even imagine how Li Qingqing spent her previous life.
Tears fell without warning, and Zhong Yun'er's noisy voice still rang in her ears.
"Anyway, Li Qingqing doesn't know whose child it is. Let her raise this disabled person. After she divorces Huaichuan, I'll tell her the truth. Mom, do you think she might die of anger?"
Wei Juan just looked at her with a face full of doting, "I don't know where you get so many bad ideas. Now that you have the baby, you can finally rest in peace, right? You are my little darling, and I can't do anything with you."
Zhong Yun'er pouted with a hint of coquetry, "Mom is the best to me. It's all because Li Qingqing kept pestering Huai Chuan. If she hadn't married Huai Chuan, I wouldn't be targeting her like this. She brought this on herself. She can only blame herself."
Shu Ying could no longer bear it. She darted out from behind the pillar and appeared in front of Zhong Yun'er with lightning speed, raising her arm and slapping her hard across the face.
Before Zhong Yun'er could react, she felt a sharp pain on her face, and her head inexplicably tilted to the side.
This unexpected turn of events happened so suddenly that the child in Zhong Hongliang's arms was in Shu Ying's hands the next second.
"I really underestimated your family. I used to think that although you were a bit disgusting, you still had some sense of shame. I really didn't expect that you have no shame at all. It seems that your family's shamelessness is hereditary."
