Chapter 375 Send the child away! Otherwise, you can divorce and take...
Late autumn ends and winter is here.
Yao Zhizhi didn't have classes today, so she slept in and didn't get up until 8:30 in the morning.
What finally woke her up was a phone call.
She got up wearing a thick flowery cotton-padded jacket, holding the microphone. As soon as she yawned, her sleepiness was blown away by the voice from the other end.
She took away the microphone in disbelief and looked at the yard outside. The children were playing there. It didn't seem like a dream or confusion, so it could only be reality.
She was curious: "How did you know my number?"
"Gao Min told me." Li Yue's voice was very calm. She looked at the crying baby in the cradle, and her face showed no joy, anger, sorrow or happiness.
Yao Zhizhi became even more curious: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Gao Min killed Xiao Shouyi's mother, ran to a relative's house, and stabbed Xiao Shouyi's father to death. There were too many witnesses, and she couldn't escape, so she simply turned herself in. The child's only surviving relatives, apart from the uncle from the Gao family, are my son and Xiao Hui. Xiao Hui was pregnant and couldn't take care of herself, so the police sent the child to me according to Gao Min's request." Li Yue had seen so many absurd things in her life that when she saw this child, she was very receptive.
She did not cry about her husband's infidelity like Xianglin Sao and complain about the betrayal she suffered in her marriage, nor did she treat her child as a monster and avoid him.
She just calmly accepted the child, as if she had expected this day to come.
Yao Zhizhi on the other end of the phone quickly calmed down. After a moment of contemplation, she could only ask, "Are you looking for me to help her pay back the debt?"
"No, what I want to say is that I don't want to help her pay off the debt. The amount is not very large, but my son's father-in-law is doing business and asked us to raise some money. I don't have any extra money on hand at the moment, and I have to wait until I get my investment back next year to have any spare money. But even if I have spare money, I don't want to help her pay off the debt. This debt should be transferred to her daughter. You can ask Xiao Hui for it, okay?" Li Yue stuck to the facts. She didn't go to Yao Zhizhi to complain.
Yao Zhizhi was understanding and said, "No problem. Every wrong has its perpetrator. This is none of your business. How's the child? Is he okay?"
"It's pretty good, but it's a pity." Li Yue couldn't say the rest.
Yao Zhizhi was more optimistic than her and said, "There's nothing to regret about being alive. Be optimistic. The world is developing, concepts are changing, and you can still strive to live even with a disabled body. After all, it's not your fault. Just be true to your conscience."
"Yes, as long as I am true to my conscience." Li Yue smiled bitterly. Would killing Xiao Shouyi be true to his conscience?
Forget it, she has been unhappy with him for a long time. Her so-called sacrifice of relatives for the sake of justice is more to protect her sister, nieces, and her son's future. She is actually a selfish person.
So ever since she saw the child, although she appeared calm on the surface, there were two voices pulling at her in her heart.
A voice was speaking up for the innocent child. What's more, the child's eyes were so pure and innocent, and the child even smiled at her.
There was another voice accusing the whole thing of being absurd and disgusting. Even if the child was innocent, she couldn't help but hate the whole thing. This was Xiao Shouyi's offspring, a bad one.
If it really doesn't work, just help raise the baby for a few months. When Xiao Hui gives birth, send the baby to Xiao Hui. It's only natural for a sister to take care of her brother. Anyway, Xiao Hui will have her own children by then, so it doesn't matter if she raises one sheep or two.
After hanging up the phone, Li Yue turned around and made a cup of soy milk powder to feed the child. When she held the child in her arms and looked at him carefully, she felt vaguely that the child's eyes looked a bit like Xiao Shouyi, the lingering Xiao Shouyi.
Forget it, I still can’t support it, it’s disgusting.
Li Yue could sympathize with those helpless and miserable women, but she could not forgive a woman who took the initiative to approach and fool around with Xiao Shouyi.
What's more, this woman is Xiao Shouyi's sister-in-law.
Doubly nauseous.
After much thought, she decided to give the child directly to Xiao Hui, out of sight and out of mind.
The next morning, she brought her child to Xiao Huipo's house.
Xiao Hui's mother-in-law's face instantly turned as stinky as a toilet in June, and she refused to have the child no matter what.
Seeing this, Xiao Hui quickly tugged at her mother-in-law's sleeve, telling her not to get angry in front of her and to wait until Li Yue left.
Otherwise, with Li Yue's methods, he would not let it go.
Grandma Xiao Hui had no choice but to accept the child. After Li Yue left, she immediately threatened: "This monster, neither male nor female, must be sent away! Otherwise, you can divorce and take him away. Our family can't afford to lose this person."
Xiao Hui didn't want to raise this younger brother at all, but what her mother-in-law said was too harsh.
It’s a pity that she no longer has her uncle’s support, and her mother has become a prisoner. When you live under someone’s roof, you have to bow your head.
She suppressed her annoyance and said, "Mom, you're really wronging me. I didn't say I wanted to raise this monster. But it's broad daylight now, and it wouldn't be appropriate for you to send the child away. What if someone sees us later? Wait until night."
"Okay."
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Xiao Hui took a flashlight and went out with her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed along the way where to send the child.
"Let's send him to the train. If he meets a kind person who takes him away, that would be his blessing. If not, then we can't be blamed for anything."
"Mom, I'll listen to you."
"That's right. Remember, you no longer have a family to rely on, so you can only count on me to help you in the future! When your uncle was alive, he always praised me for your understanding. Now it seems that you are indeed a good child."
Xiao Hui smiled bitterly. The situation was stronger than she was. Her forced "understanding" was precisely her most uncomfortable and painful choice.
Although she didn't like her younger brother, deep down she didn't want others to arrange his future.
But there is no way, just accept your fate.
It was her own fault for being so confused. She should have thought that once she had a son, she would no longer be the mother of her eldest daughter.
It was she who pushed her mother away with her own hands, and it was she who personally helped her uncle and mother to provide cover.
The mistake has been made, and the way back has long been blocked. We can only go down this path.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law soon arrived at the section of railway tracks before the train arrived at the station.
The trains at this stage move as slowly as a turtle, and many refugees who try to board the train choose this time.
One of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went up first, and the other followed in small steps and handed the child up.
After a while, the mother-in-law in the car lied that she needed to get some hot water and asked a woman who had a seat and didn't seem to be planning to get off the car to hold the child.
After this hug, the child’s “relatives” never came back.
The kind-hearted woman waited until the train arrived at the next stop before she realized something was wrong. She quickly asked the conductor to go find the train police.
The flight attendant came over and briefly asked about the whole story, then took the child to the flight attendant's lounge and asked her to help make a decision.
The flight attendant was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She held the child in her arms, removed the diaper, and immediately saw two scars on the child's groin and next to his penis.
These are the scars of surgery, especially the one below, which looks particularly hideous. Next to the incision, there is only a shriveled "bag", like a shriveled rice husk that cannot produce any grains.
The flight attendant understood everything and could only sigh silently. No matter what, the procedure had to be followed. She quickly made an announcement on the train to notify the child's relatives to come to a certain carriage to pick up the child.
Over and over again, without getting tired of it.
Unfortunately, even when the train arrived at its final destination, Capital Station, no one came to pick up the children.
The conductor had no choice but to hand the child over to the conductor, who then notified the railway police and tried to find a way to contact the police in the direction of Yicheng.
Unfortunately, half a month has passed and there is still no news about the child's family.
The flight attendant had no choice but to go to the welfare home that was temporarily taking care of the children.
The poor child, because of his physical disability, was ostracized by the older children and lay alone in the crib in the corner.
From time to time, people around him looked at him with contempt.
The flight attendant was finally moved by compassion. It just so happened that she had a relative who was unable to have children, so she quickly contacted them and decided to adopt the child if possible.
It is not easy to survive after undergoing such an operation.
A few days later, during a break, Yao Zhizhi was packing up her books. At the door of the classroom, an old woman was looking at something with anticipation.
Yao Zhizhi looked over curiously, but saw that the man's eyes fell on Zhu Mingmei next to her.
Zhu Mingmei was taking notes and didn't look up. Yao Zhizhi quickly nudged Zhu Mingmei with her arm.
Zhu Mingmei looked up, smiled, dropped her ballpoint pen, and ran out quickly: "Aunt, why are you here?"
"Mei, I'm undecided about something. Can you give me some advice?" Zhu Xiuwen has been married for many years and has no children. In fact, it is because her husband is infertile, but her husband is too proud to admit his guilt and suffers for it, and tells others that it is her who is infertile.
She was weak and dared not resist, so she could only bear the blame herself for more than 20 years.
Now someone said there was a white and clean baby in the orphanage who was in a hurry to be adopted, and she was quite tempted, but unfortunately...
She quickly pulled Zhu Mingmei outside: "Mei, come with me to see that child, okay? That child, fair and clean, with delicate skin and tender flesh, loves to laugh, can eat, and has a very good personality. It's a pity that he...he..."
Zhu Mingmei quickly comforted her, "Aunt, don't worry. I'll accompany you. Wait a moment." She turned back to look at the classroom and said loudly, "Xiao Yao, can you help me pack my schoolbag and take it to the girls' dormitory? I'm going to run something with my aunt."
"Okay, go ahead." After Yao Zhizhi finished cleaning up, she also cleaned up for Zhu Mingmei. The dormitory was not far away, although it was in the opposite direction of her leaving school, but she couldn't refuse to help with this little favor.
Zhu Mingmei smiled and waved, then quickly dragged her aunt to the welfare home.
When she got there, she said, "Oh my dear aunt, this child is so handsome, and he just got weaned. He can't even remember his biological parents. What are you still hesitating about?"
Zhu Xiuwen sighed silently and lifted the child's diaper.
Zhu Mingmei's smile slowly froze. Poor child.
But it’s not the child’s fault, no!
Zhu Mingmei thought for a moment and asked, "Aunt, do you want a child to take care of you in your old age, or to carry on the family line? Even if a child can carry on the family line, it won't be your bloodline with your uncle. If it can't be carried on, there's no loss, since your uncle can't have children anyway. If you train him well, maybe he'll be a very promising child in the future? He'll take you on a journey of glory and travel with you far and wide. Isn't that better than dying alone?"
Zhu Xiuwen also had the same idea, but she was worried that her child would be laughed at and looked down upon.
Zhu Mingmei quickly pulled her outside and gave her some instructions. Her idea was simple: find a school with good conditions, where the toilets and squat toilets are all separated. Although this kind of thing is not the child's fault, she will indeed be laughed at by other children. So, try to protect the child's privacy. When the child grows up, let her face her own body and cherish her precious life.
Zhu Mingmei really felt sorry for this child. She knew that the other children were older than this one and she couldn't raise them well, so this was the best choice at the moment.
So she advised, "And, Auntie, with a child like this, you don't have to worry about him going out and giving birth to a bunch of grandchildren for you. You can raise him when he's young, and he'll take care of you when you're old, and you'll depend on each other for survival in the future. How wonderful."
