Chapter 77 Premature Birth "Hurry, no, my water broke, I'm about to give birth..."
Yao Zhizhi is pregnant, so it’s not a good idea to hit her directly. If she starts pushing, it will be terrible!
But she can be scary!
Moreover, the summary prompt of the melon-eating system was very useful. She already knew the name of this poor woman, Zhang Cai Ni.
Three years ago, she was "married off" by her father in exchange for a betrothal gift of 200 yuan. After she gave birth to a child, she was sent back to her in-laws' home.
Qi Guoping used 200 yuan as a betrothal gift to buy her back and let her become Qi Changlin's wife, but they didn't get a marriage certificate.
As a result, Qi Changlin went in again, and the poor woman was driven back by Yu Xiulan.
After a few months of observation, she didn't get pregnant, and now she has been sold by her father again.
They are just like objects, without any autonomy at all.
The family that changed hands this time is quite extraordinary. It was a group of older bachelors who pooled their money together and wanted to share the money with the woman they "married".
Zhang Cai Ni was reluctant and struggled, and was caught by Yao Zhizhi.
After reading the synopsis, Yao Zhizhi wanted to curse. Can you be nicer to women at the bottom of society?
They are human beings too!
Furious, she rushed over and yelled, "Stop! The police are here! They've got clues that you're collecting money to buy and sell women. The entire criminal police team is out, and they're going to arrest all five of you!"
When the two men heard this, they were shocked. No way, who was so blind as to report them and even knew about the five of them?
The two men were so scared that they turned around and ran away, not forgetting to drag the poor woman with them, after all, they had spent money to "marry" her.
However, the woman struggled so hard that the two men could not run fast. Qi Changxiao rushed up and shouted, "Stop!", which scared the two men so much that they dropped the woman and ran away.
They recognized Qi Changxiao, Director Tang's son, so when would they run away if not now?
Yao Zhizhi quickly helped the woman who was crying on the ground and took her to the police station to report the case.
Qi Changxiao quickly turned back: "Wife, those two beasts went to the woolen mill. They are probably employees of the factory."
"Well, this woman is Zhang Cai Ni, the one who was sold to Qi Changlin." Yao Zhizhi didn't want to use the word "marriage" because the essence of this matter was human trafficking.
A father can send his daughter here and there for a little money. Isn't this a business transaction?
Marriage is just a fig leaf for this matter, not to mention there is no marriage certificate.
She was very angry, but she didn't want to upset the fetus, so she could only calm down as soon as possible.
Because Zhang Cai Ni is mute, nothing can be obtained from her, so we can only go to the police station to talk.
My mother-in-law was not at home, as she had gone to the Public Security Bureau to handle some business. Lao Qiao was eating with an aluminum lunch box in his hand, and he quickly received them.
Yao Zhizhi reflected on the situation and asked, "Can we sue her father for trafficking women?"
Lao Qiao sighed silently: "Not necessarily."
"Why?" Yao Zhizhi didn't understand. Isn't this trafficking in women? Otherwise, Yao Erdan and his ilk would be so happy. Look, as long as they raise those two daughters to adulthood and exchange them for betrothal gifts, it wouldn't be considered child trafficking!
He wouldn't have to be shot!
Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?
But Lao Qiao was also helpless, explaining: "In judicial practice, in this case, it depends on whether he collected the betrothal gift in order to get his daughter married, or simply used marriage as a cover to exchange his daughter for the betrothal money. This is difficult to determine, and she is mute and unable to express herself, so this matter is difficult to handle."
"Then can we find someone who knows sign language?" Yao Zhizhi was depressed. It turned out that family relationships were a protective umbrella for many people to break the law.
I’m really impressed.
Lao Qiao pondered for a moment and thought of someone: "Then I'll go find this mute..."
"I'll take her back and send her over later." Yao Zhizhi's family has enough food to feed one person, and there are still a lot of food and drinks in her system.
Lao Qiao was relieved: "Okay, I'll pick someone up from your house later, you can go back quickly, ah."
Yao Zhizhi brought the person back and looked at her carefully. She was quite pretty. Although she was not the kind of stunning beauty, she had a decent appearance that people would remember at first sight.
She took two pieces of cake and gave them to Zhang Cai Ni, but Zhang Cai Ni was too timid to take them.
She grabbed Zhang Caini's hand and helped her sit down at the small stone table in the yard. "You can't speak, but can you understand what we're saying?"
Zhang Cai Ni nodded, mumbling something, but no one knew what she was saying.
Yao Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay. They could still communicate a little.
She went to the kitchen and got some food. Yao Weihua asked curiously and couldn't help but sigh after hearing it, poor woman.
He added two pieces of meat to the bowl and brought the food over himself: "Eat, there's more if it's not enough." At worst, he could just eat some cakes, there was no shortage of food at home anyway.
Zhang Cai Ni has been either despised by this person or bullied by that person since she was a child, and she has never seen such polite people. She held the chopsticks and tears couldn't stop falling.
Yao Weihua comforted her, "Don't be afraid. My sister's mother-in-law is a police officer. Does the police know?"
Zhang Cai Ni suddenly raised her head, tears were still welling up in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were already stretched.
The police are good, she understands, the police are good.
He was so excited that he quickly put down his chopsticks and gestured with something.
Yao Weihua didn't understand, but guessed she was trying to express her gratitude. He smiled and replied, "You're welcome. The policewoman will help you when she comes back."
Zhang Cai Ni was completely relieved and quickly ate.
Well, I have never eaten such delicious food in my life. I felt wronged and started to cry again.
Yao Weihua was helpless. This woman was also a crybaby. She was already mute, and now she was a crybaby, so she was easily bullied.
I don't blame her, but I don't know if she was born dumb or became dumb later.
He asked, "Did you speak when you were a child?"
Zhang Cai Ni looked up at him in surprise, with a flash of panic and anxiety in her eyes.
Yao Weihua sat down and comforted her, "Don't be afraid. The police will need to find you to inquire about the situation later. It would be more convenient if you could speak and write."
Zhang Cai Ni was silent for a long time, and finally shook her head.
Yao Weihua stopped asking. He always felt that something bad had happened to her, and it didn't necessarily mean she was born mute.
He went back to the house to eat first, and reminded her: "Little sister, she might be able to speak when she is young. Ask her later. I am a man, and she might be a little scared."
"Yeah, okay." It was Yao Zhizhi's first time meeting a mute, so she wasn't sure. She decided to wait until Lao Qiao found the person.
Tang Fengyuan came back after dinner. There had been too many meetings recently, and as a newly promoted director, she was extremely busy.
When she got home, she was quite surprised to see a strange woman sitting in the yard. Yao Zhizhi quickly went up to her and explained to her.
Tang Fengyuan suddenly realized: "He's quite handsome. Wait for your Uncle Qiao to come. I'll eat first."
Yao Zhizhi stayed in the main hall with her and suggested, "Mom, I have something else to tell you. Look, is this arrangement okay for me..."
Tang Fengyuan ate and listened, and put down his chopsticks at the end: "Is the debtor named Huang in the will in Hong Kong?"
"Yes, but he is dead, and his son-in-law is in charge now." Yao Zhizhi also felt that Hu Biheng was a good-for-nothing, completely inhumane, and even more disgusting than Kong Badou.
Tang Fengyuan couldn't help but sigh, "Nine out of ten sons-in-law are dissatisfied. When their father-in-law is gone, most of them will make trouble. What's more, the family is so rich. If all men are like this, it's like a surname is killing them."
Yao Zhizhi was also helpless. She always believed that a child born by a woman should take her own surname. However, considering that her father-in-law died for the country, the child's surname was Qi.
Tang Fengyuan picked up his chopsticks and continued eating. "You can arrange this. We can adopt the child in our names, and it's in line with policy. I just don't know if Zhang Cai Ni is willing to help you take care of the child."
Yao Zhizhi understood: "I'll ask her and let her live with Yao Taotao so they can keep each other company. Then Xiaogang will have someone to take care of him, and Yao Taotao can go to work and earn money with peace of mind. It's not a big deal to carry a child to work all day."
"Well, you can let them become sworn sisters so that you can have an explanation when others ask you about it." Tang Fengyuan had finished eating when Lao Qiao came with someone who knew sign language and hurried to the yard to ask questions.
The person who came was a student from the Agricultural University named Li Hui. She was the daughter of Lao Qiao’s neighbor. Her mother was a mute, so she had been able to sign language since she was a child.
The two women gestured, one groaning and groaning, the other silently. Soon, Li Hui told them, "She agreed, but she's just afraid her father will take her back and marry her off again."
"Tell her not to be afraid, we will take care of her father." Tang Fengyuan called Lao Zhang as soon as he got home and asked him to bring the person over.
Old Zhang checked with the neighbors and found out that Zhang Cai Ni was not born mute, but became so because of something that happened in her childhood.
As for what happened, Lao Zhang didn't know either.
It was noon, and it should have been time for a break, but the police station was in chaos.
Zhang's father always felt that his daughter was his property and refused to let her live alone no matter what, for fear that the five bachelors would ask him to return the money.
Tang Fengyuan didn't bother to waste time and warned him directly: "Your behavior of forcing your daughter to marry for the sake of the bride price can be classified as trafficking in women. Besides, are you marrying off your daughters? Five at once? What kind of father is you?"
"What a joke! She's my own daughter, why can't I accept the betrothal gift?" Zhang's father was very arrogant, spitting and glaring, looking down on everyone.
Until Lao Qiao took out the cold handcuffs and asked him to go to the interrogation room to calm down.
Father Zhang was anxious and wanted to say something else, but Yao Zhizhi, who had received the news, rushed over.
She always felt that there might be other hidden secrets behind this "one woman sold to multiple people" incident, so she tried to trick Zhang's father.
She stood in the yard of the police station and analyzed for a long time why the good child became mute.
Unfortunately, there is no separate prompt for the keyword "eating melons", which shows that the cause of becoming mute lies in the given keyword.
Then he asked loudly, "I heard people say that you sold her when she was a child, and she ran back on her own, and that you beat her and made her mute. Is that true?"
Father Zhang stopped arguing in shock, turned around and looked at her fiercely: "Where did you come from, you stinky bitch? Don't spit blood at me! Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death!"
As he said this, he really wanted to rush up and hit the guy, but Lao Qiao tripped him and he fell flat on his face.
Lao Qiao pretended to be surprised: "Oh, how did you fall? Come on, come on, let's talk it over. Don't be so excited."
Deputy Director Lao Dong hurried to help hold down the beast, but he didn't dare let him touch Lao Tang's daughter-in-law because she was pregnant.
Zhang's father fell down, and his mind calmed down. He just stared at Yao Zhizhi and sneered, "You bitch, do you have any evidence?"
"I... I... I am... am... the evidence!" Zhang Cai Ni, who had been shrinking her neck and not daring to speak, suddenly spoke.
She didn't want to see the kind pregnant woman get beaten for her, so she mustered up the courage and stood in front of Yao Zhizhi.
She became mute because of the beating she received as a child, not because she really can't speak.
But she hadn't spoken for many years, so she spoke in a stammering and unsteady manner.
Everyone stopped making noise and looked at her.
It seems that what Yao Zhizhi said is true? Who exactly is Lao Tang's daughter-in-law? Do you know all this?
Hurry up, arrest Mr. Zhang and interrogate him strictly.
Yao Zhizhi was going to work, so she took her hand and handed her over to Tang Fengyuan: "Mom, tell her to wait for me to come back. Tell her not to be afraid, we will protect her."
"I know. Go quickly and don't be late." Tang Fengyuan took Zhang Cai Ni's hand and went to take the statement.
On the way, Yao Zhizhi sighed: "I was sold once when I was a child. I don't know if she was sold as a daughter, or..."
"Child bride?" Qi Changxiao guessed what she was thinking.
Yao Zhizhi sighed, "Yeah, there's still a chance a child bride could be treated well. The most terrifying thing...is not to be sold to some scoundrel."
"It's hard to say. Mom will ask. Don't worry." Qi Changxiao rode the bike very carefully, avoiding potholes for fear of bumping her.
There is also a soft cushion tied to the seat, which is very thoughtful.
Yao Zhizhi hugged his waist and sighed: "If I hadn't resisted at the beginning, Yao Erdan would have sold my life."
"Wife..." Qi Changxiao was heartbroken. When he arrived at the office gate, he parked the car in the carport and quickly hugged her. "You still have me. If you are unhappy in the future, tell me and I will go out with you to relax."
"Yeah." Yao Zhizhi sighed silently. It is really difficult for a girl to grow up safely.
I subconsciously touched my belly.
No matter how difficult it is, she hopes that this baby will be a daughter. She will do her best to protect this child and let her be a carefree jewel in her palm.
The two were busy at work for the entire afternoon, and when they returned to the police station, Lao Qiao had already finished the interrogation.
"Lao Zhang went to Beicheng to find someone who knew the truth. This old bastard sold more than one daughter." Lao Qiao was very angry.
Yao Zhizhi was shocked: "Is it enough for the death penalty?"
"Enough, he's even selling it for others. If he doesn't die, who will?" Lao Qiao took out a cigarette. He had been a policeman for a long time and had seen too many disgusting things. He still felt nauseous.
As for the five bachelors who contributed the money, they were also arrested, but their sentences may only be three years.
Taking out the matchbox, Lao Qiao wanted to smoke a cigarette to relieve his stress, but then he remembered that Yao Zhizhi was pregnant. Without waiting for Qi Changxiao to speak, he put the cigarette behind his ear and said, "Okay, you guys can go back. Zhang Cai Ni is waiting for you at home. She even said she wants to kowtow to you."
Forget about kowtowing, Yao Zhizhi hurried back to check.
Yao Taotao happened to be coming to give her a short article submitted by a student. When she arrived, she saw a woman kneeling in front of Yao Zhizhi and crying non-stop.
Yao Zhizhi waved her hand, asked Yao Taotao to come in, and explained everything like this.
Yao Taotao was quite happy: "Really? She is willing to help me take care of Xiaogang?"
"Yes." Yao Zhizhi asked her to take the person back and reminded her, "Be careful. She has brothers at home. Who knows if they will wait for an opportunity to take revenge."
"It's okay, Cao Guangyi is at home." Yao Taotao told Yao Zhizhi about her situation with Cao Guangyi.
Yao Zhizhi didn't intend to judge anything, but just reminded Yao Taotao to be careful and not cause any trouble.
Yao Taotao handed the manuscript to Yao Zhizhi and happily took the woman back.
I asked on the way and found out that they were about the same age, so they called each other sisters from then on.
But in this case, only Zhang Cai Ni and Xiao Gang can live in the same room, and Yao Taotao and Cao Guangyi can live in the same room.
The one hundred-day test set by Yao Taotao has not yet ended, and she is not afraid of Cao Guangyi's mischief.
Cao Guangyi asked about the whole story and did not object. He knew that Yao Taotao was kind-hearted and that it was not a long-term solution for Yao Taotao to go to work with Xiaogang on her back. Now there was a woman willing to help take care of Xiaogang, which was perfect.
It was a good deal for him, as he could now share a bed with Yao Taotao with a clear conscience.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, he was thinking about this woman so much that he couldn't help but take out the notebook and look at the correct words on it.
It’s almost time, the test is almost over. I quickly picked Yao Taotao up from the side and stuffed her inside: “I’ll sleep outside.”
Yao Taotao is quite satisfied with his recent performance and the results of dog training are gratifying.
The next morning, she was still woken up by the sound of cooking. After washing up, Yao Taotao walked over and kissed the man, who was a rare good boy.
A good dog needs some sweet treats.
Cao Guangyi was afraid of being seen by Zhang Caini, but he was reluctant to let her go. He held her hand, turned his head and kissed her like a thief.
Yao Taotao smiled.
It's not easy. After so long since the divorce, this man finally reversed his image in her mind. It's a cause for celebration.
A few days later, Tang Fengyuan brought the orphan back and told him, "Your Uncle Ning asked Old Xu to adopt the child. He's registered with the Xu family so they can't trace him back to you, and that Hu Biheng won't come looking for trouble later."
"Okay, thanks, Mom." Yao Zhizhi was already pregnant, so she didn't hold the baby in her arms for fear of it touching her belly. Anyway, Yao Taotao would come over to hand in the manuscript later.
After dinner, Yao Taotao arrived as expected. Seeing the child, she was very surprised: "Why are the two eyes different colors?"
"I don't know. This Xing Hongxia may have some special bloodline." Yao Zhizhi took a look. The child was several months old. She ate milk powder and rice oil in the welfare home, but the people in the welfare home had no patience, so the child was thin, like a pickled vegetable cube.
Yao Taotao hurriedly picked up the basket. Yao Zhizhi asked her to wait and turned around to get some rice, flour and eggs. "Zhang Cai Ni doesn't know how to feed the baby, so you teach her."
"Don't worry, she is a very nice person, and Xiaogang likes to play with her." Yao Taotao took the things and went back. As soon as she reached the entrance of the alley, she saw Cao Guangyi and stuffed the things into his arms without any hesitation.
Free labor, use it well.
*
Yao Miaomiao tried hard to control her diet, but her belly was a little bigger than that of other full-term pregnancies.
I've been feeling a tightness in my stomach lately.
After much deliberation, she decided to take maternity leave. As for the broadcasting job, Lao Chang introduced a female student to take over and paid her a salary.
The military wives introduced by Lao Guo were also in place. One was surnamed Liu, petite and gentle, and the other was surnamed Lu, tall and fierce.
One is quiet and the other is active, and their personalities complement each other.
She moved with her family to the yard bought by Yao Zhizhi, preparing to give birth.
Ning Zhengrong was worried that she might have an attack in the middle of the night, so she asked Dr. Zhong to introduce a midwife and went with her.
Just go there after work every night and you will be paid as normal.
The whole family was on high alert, fearing that something bad might happen.
Yao Miaomiao was at a loss for words, feeling that even a slight cry from her could cause chaos among the people.
She would walk in the yard during the day, relax, and try not to scare herself.
Just after dinner that day, Yang Shuming received a sudden message that he had to catch a murderer. Just as he put on his police hat and put on his gun, he heard Yao Miaomiao's voice behind him.
Luckily, the midwife was off duty and watching nearby. She quickly reminded me, "Hurry, this is bad. The water has broken. The baby is about to be born."
Yang Shuming was extremely anxious. On one hand, his police duty was calling him, and on the other hand, his beloved woman was about to give birth.
He quickly returned to Yao Miaomiao: "Wife, I'll be back as soon as possible, don't be afraid, ah."
"Go ahead, I'm fine." Yao Miaomiao was no longer a child. She knew the price she paid when she chose this man. She pushed Yang Shuming away forcefully. "We must catch the murderer and let the children see how brave their father is, okay?"
Yang Shuming turned and left with tears in his eyes.
