Chapter 222: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Battle 7 You lied to your mother-in-law and said the child was lost...
The Chu family is arguing.
Chu's mother spoiled her daughter, so she found a family with a small yard in Liutiao Hutong and wanted to exchange residence with them.
Everything was agreed upon, but unfortunately her husband and son disagreed and refused to move.
The family of four was divided into two camps, and the quarrel was so intense.
As they were arguing, Chu Lingze suddenly realized that someone seemed to be missing from the house. He checked both the east and west rooms, but didn't see his nephew. He quickly asked, "Where's the child?"
"I sent her to your aunt's house." Mother Chu quickly explained, "Son, we had no choice. The Shan family relied on their child to manipulate us. As long as they can't find the child, they won't have the energy to make trouble."
Chu Lingze was completely stunned. What kind of crazy behavior was this?
The child is not his sister's alone, why does he hide the child and not give it to others?
He was so angry that he could not bear to say anything harsh to hurt either of them, so he could only squat under the jujube tree in the yard and smoke in silence.
When he smoked his last cigarette, the ground was covered with cigarette butts and there was no place left for him to stand.
He stood up and said, "I still don't agree to move. If you really want to move, then I'll go live with a friend. You guys decide for yourself."
Chu Lingyi didn't stop him, but just asked: "Brother, what do you mean? You want to separate from me? Only people with many brothers would do this."
"It's no fun. I'll move out and live somewhere quiet. If your family runs out of money, tell me and I'll find a way." Chu Lingze was in so much pain. On one hand, there were the justice and principles in his heart, and on the other hand, there was his family who had shared weal and woe with him. He didn't want to give up on either side, so he could only drive himself out of this home and pretend that out of sight, out of mind.
Seeing this, Chu's mother didn't know what to say. After all, she was afraid that if the Shan family came to make trouble again, it would affect her son's work. Maybe it would be best for them to live separately.
She turned around and tried to persuade Chu's father, repeating the same thing over and over again: the daughter had been wronged in the past, and as a parent, she must make sure that she is happy.
As for the Shan family, she was not worthy of their daughter. It was lucky enough that they left the child to their family. How dare they come and make trouble? They were not worthy of taking the child away.
Father Chu still refused. To be honest, his family was in the wrong in this matter. He wanted to stay here and wait for the Shan family to come. He would personally apologize and resolve the situation.
Mother Chu was so angry that she was shaking all over, her cheeks were red, and she was about to have a seizure. Chu Lingyi quickly supported her and said, "Dad, please stop arguing with my mother. My mother can't stand being bullied."
Father Chu turned his head away and said, "No, that's not possible. No matter how hard you try, you can't do this! Okay, go to bed."
In the end, the courtyard was not successfully exchanged, and Chu's mother was so angry that she was admitted to the hospital and did not come to work the next day.
Father Chu didn't want to anger Mother Chu to death, so he compromised and promised the mother and daughter that if the Shan family came, he would keep quiet and let them say whatever they wanted.
As for the yard, if he doesn’t change it, what will happen when his son gets married and has children?
Chu's mother didn't know what to say anymore, so she waved her hand and told him to go to work and earn money, and to ask for leave for her.
Yao Miaomiao ran into Chu's father who had come to ask for leave. Without saying anything, she returned to the office, picked up the phone and called Yao Zhizhi: "Little sister, you told me the other day that Chu's mother was here to help Director Ma and Ye Jun keep watch. I see that's true. Chu's mother didn't come today, and the two of them are very honest."
Yao Zhizhi had just finished a meeting and was looking through the minutes while comforting her sister, "Well, don't worry, sister. These people are like cats that steal fish. They feel uncomfortable if they don't get enough for a day. You never know when they can't bear it anymore. Mother Chu's illness won't get better soon. I guess she'll need a few days of rest. When the time comes, take the camera I gave you and take a picture of this adulterous couple. Then send it directly to Director Yuan in an anonymous letter."
"Okay." Yao Miaomiao hung up the phone and silently pricked up her ears, listening to the noise outside.
Unfortunately, the couple didn't do anything wrong throughout the day, so Yao Miaomiao could only be patient and wait until tomorrow to talk about it.

In the hospital, Chu Lingyi came up with another bad idea.
She sat by the bed and fed her mother, whispering, "Mom, how about this? Since my dad doesn't want to move out, when the Shan family and their son come looking for us, we can lie to them and say the child was lost while shopping. Let them find a way to find the child. They care about the child so much, they definitely won't have time to bother us by then."
Chu's mother was happy: "That's a good idea. Then you can go to the police later to make sure they can't verify the facts and accuse you of lying."
"No, you might go to jail if you make a false report to the police." Chu Lingyi quickly shook her head.
Chu's mother comforted her, "You're so stupid! If someone really finds out that the child is with your aunt, just say that you were busy taking care of me in the hospital these days and didn't know that your father sent the child to your aunt's house. That would be the end of it, wouldn't it?"
"Yes, that's a good reason." After feeding her, Chu Lingyi couldn't help but hug her mother's neck and kept acting coquettishly, "Mom, you are the best. I love my mom so much."
Mother Chu felt sweet in her heart. Look, her daughter is so good. That boy Lingze would never try to make her happy like this.
She hasn't married yet. When she gets married in the future, she doesn't know where her mother will end up. She should still love her daughter more. She is the dearest daughter.
During the nap, Chu Lingyi hurried back, burst into tears, and went to the police station to report that her child was missing.
She was received by Xiao Jin. After registering, she quickly found Lao He and Lao Wang and prepared to visit and investigate the nearby streets.
Chu Lingyi didn't see Tang Fengyuan, so she asked curiously, "Doesn't Director Tang handle cases like this?"
Xiao Jin frowned. "Our director is very busy. He's in a meeting at the Public Security Bureau. Why, you don't trust us?"
"No, no!" Chu Lingyi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was good that Tang Fengyuan was not here. This old lady was not easy to deceive. If she asked her any details, she would be easily exposed.
Now that the case was in charge of three rough guys, she felt relieved and hurried back to the hospital.
Tang Fengyuan was indeed in a meeting at the Public Security Bureau. Recently, many children had drowned in the commune below. After all, it was summer vacation, and the water network in Yicheng was dense. The production team would arrange river diggers every winter to dig those small ditches and ridges into a continuous river channel. This would allow them to discharge floodwaters in time when the rainy season came, and the excavated earth could be used to build roads, killing two birds with one stone.
Therefore, compared with decades ago, there are many more rivers in Yicheng, and they are much wider. In the hot summer, children go to the river to fish and catch shrimps in order to stay cool, and tragedies often happen.
Therefore, Director Sun called the directors of several police stations to a meeting and planned to arrange a publicity activity in the countryside in the near future to remind parents to take precautions.
When she came back from the Public Security Bureau, she saw Xiao Jin sighing and saying that he couldn't find the missing child.
Tang Fengyuan quickly asked, "Whose child is missing? Have you looked for them in the city's rivers?"
Xiao Jin hadn't really thought about it that way. He asked curiously, "Director, are you saying that the child might have fallen into the water?"
Tang Fengyuan looked anxious. "Of course you did. Didn't you write in your transcript that the child was lost near the mall? Isn't there a canal just across the street from there? Hurry up, get some help, and go look for him together."
Xiao Jin did not dare to be careless and quickly called several available police officers in the station.
"Go to Nanjiao Commune and ask two fishermen to help with the salvage." Tang Fengyuan didn't dare to be vague. They had just finished a meeting today. If a drowning case occurred in the area she was responsible for, Director Sun would not know how to criticize her.
A group of people hurriedly tried to find a solution. They also went to the alley to call some parents and sent all the children to the small courtyard by the lake. They asked Xiao Gao and Shen Qingwan to help look after them. Everyone contributed their strength and tools, and they all rushed to the canal.
Xie Chunxing and Yao Jingzong were also in the backyard. Seeing so many children coming to the house, they did not dare to be careless and quickly closed the gate to prevent any one from being missing. They could not bear such a responsibility.
Chu Lingyi had no idea that she had gotten herself into such a mess, and was currently gloating over herself with her mother in the hospital.
"Calculating the days, if the mother and son of the Shan family wake up and rush back, they will probably arrive tonight or tomorrow morning." Mother Chu was calm and composed, thinking that she and her daughter had come up with a very clever idea and they could sit back and relax.
Chu Lingyi smiled and said, "They don't have time to harass me this time. But Mom, what if they push the responsibility onto me?"
"You're just trying to turn the tables on them, saying they got drunk, boarded the train, and left the child behind. You had to take care of the child and me, who was sick, on your own, and you were too busy to handle it. That's why you were careless and lost the child." Mother Chu tried to think hard and comfort her daughter. "Don't be afraid. I'll help you blame them later. They're from out of town, and no one will be on their side."
Chu Lingyi was so happy that she quickly hugged her mother's neck and said sweetly: "Mom, you are so good, oooh... I don't want to grow up. It would be great to be Mom's little darling forever."
Mother Chu smiled and hugged her beloved child: "Silly boy, you will be my little darling when you grow up. By the way, don't forget to go to your aunt's house tomorrow and ask them to hide the child so that he won't be exposed."
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll go there early tomorrow morning and buy some meat for my aunt." Chu Lingyi was very happy. It was great that she could finally get rid of the Shan family's mother and son.
Amidst the laughter and chatter, the mother and daughter were unaware that Zhou Juan had passed by the ward door and overheard what was happening.
She came to the hospital to change the dressing and remove the stitches. After all, it was hot in the summer, and she had to be careful with such a big scar on her head, otherwise it would become festered and that would be bad.
She has been living in San Tiao Hutong these days, avoiding Xu Wei.
Unexpectedly, Xu Wei calculated the day when she changed her dressing and came to the hospital to wait for her. In order to avoid Xu Wei, she ran to the internal medicine ward.
I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain.
However, footsteps were heard behind her. It was probably Xu Wei chasing after her. Zhou Juan couldn't listen any longer and quickly ran to the toilet at the end of the corridor.
He went into the women's restroom and stayed there for a while.
Xu Wei walked around the corridor twice, but didn't see Zhou Juan, so he had to go downstairs.
He didn't leave either, but waited by the wall outside the hospital. When Zhou Juan came out after changing her medicine, he quickly grabbed her arm from behind and asked her with red eyes, "How long are you going to hide from me?"
