She took a few steps back holding the swaddling clothes.
"No, there's no need to trouble Dr. Zhang."
Her expression and tone showed that she was unsure.
Actually, this was not like Xu Hongmei's personality. After all, she was a notorious tough guy in the family compound. Let alone facing just one Zhang Yuan, even if she was facing more than a dozen people, she would still throw a tantrum and act like a rogue.
The only explanation for her current abnormal behavior is that she has something to hide.
Zhang Yuan didn't say anything more to Xu Hongmei. Instead, he simply nodded in greeting and walked forward to open the swaddling clothes.
Xu Hongmei wanted to retreat, but Jiang Tang blocked her way.
She could only watch Zhang Yuan lift the cloth from the swaddling clothes.
The baby with a livid face appeared in front of everyone.
It was true that the baby was a newborn, but the cause of her death was not as Xu Hongmei said, that she died at birth.
Zhang Yuan only needed to do a quick examination to determine that the child had died of suffocation.
Xu Hongmei's eyes rolled, and she immediately explained, "The weather was so cold, and Lihua accidentally pressed the quilt on her head when she was sleeping..."
This explanation is also reasonable.
In winter, there are cases where adults suffocate their newborn babies while sleeping without paying attention.
But did Xu Lihua’s daughter really die in this way?
Then I will be confused.
No matter what, someone died in the family compound. Even if the person was just a very young child, the family compound management office would not ignore it after knowing about it.
They went to Xu Lihua's house to investigate.
I want to know how this child died.
If it is true as Xu Hongmei said, their management office will apply for some consolation subsidies for Xu Lihua.
Xu Hongmei had no way to stop them, so the comrades from the management office went to Xu Lihua's house.
As for the swaddling clothes in Xu Hongmei's arms, she cannot throw them away as she wishes. Before the matter is investigated thoroughly, I am afraid that the child will not be able to rest in peace for the time being.
Comrades from the management office have taken over the matter, and it has nothing to do with Jiang Tang and the others.
The three of them turned and walked home.
It was already dark at this time.
They were delayed in getting home to cook, but fortunately, neither He Lihua nor Liu Qihong were too worried.
Before they left, their sons had already returned home.
They were responsible for taking care of the children and cooking, which was the main reason why the two of them dared to be so confident and bold and made an appointment to go to the town to buy fish.
When the three of them arrived at the door, they went into their respective homes.
Lu Changzheng has already prepared the meal.
Seeing his wife and mother come in, he came forward to take the things and asked them why they came back so late.
He didn't know what was happening outside.
"Is there something wrong at Tangtang Factory?"
“No!”
Jiang Tang had a smile on her face and explained to Lu Changzheng in a cheerful tone what had just happened.
After saying that, she did not forget to express her suspicions about Xu Hongmei and the others.
Lu Changzheng frowned.
"Tangtang is saying that they might have killed the child intentionally?"
"Look at the adults' reactions, they're very similar."
Jiang Tang washed his hands carefully with soap and prepared to eat.
Although she saw a dead child, her tone was still calm and her expression was very relaxed.
It seems like he is talking about something insignificant.
Lu Changzheng nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.
He Lihua, who was standing by, didn't know whether to cry or laugh when she saw the looks of her son and daughter-in-law.
They are really too calm.
The passing of a life does not seem to make them sigh or lament!
On the other hand, she herself felt a little uncomfortable.
Of course, this doesn't mean that the son and daughter-in-law are bad. Everyone has different temperaments, and they are just like that, a perfect match!
He Lihua shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
After the Lu family finished their meal, Lu Changzheng cleared the table and the family moved to the living room. The adults warmed themselves by the fire while the children played nearby.
A one year and four month old child can already walk very flexibly.
He Lihua looked at her three grandsons with love in her heart and eyes.
She inadvertently thought of the swaddling child Xu Hongmei was holding, the pale child inside... If she had lived well, it wouldn't be long before she was old enough to play happily...
The news of a dead baby in the family compound soon spread throughout the compound.
Jiang Tang went to work in the morning and heard a lot of people discussing it on the bus.
They were talking about all kinds of speculations and the discussion was very lively.
Jiang Tang sat quietly in the last row of seats on the bus, listening to their lively discussion.
It’s snowing outside again, and it’s not too long before the New Year holiday!
This side of the family compound.
Xu Lihua's man is named Ma Weiguo, and he is a company commander.
Yesterday, comrades from the Family Compound Management Office came to their home to investigate the situation. He happened to be on night shift, so he didn't know what happened at home.
When he came home from get off work today, he saw many aunts pointing and talking, and he felt confused.
"Captain Ma..."
The aunt, who was bold and nosy, simply stepped forward and blocked Ma Weiguo's way.
"Captain Ma, was your second child really crushed to death by the quilt? Or did you and your wife no longer want the girl and secretly strangle her to death?"
"What did you say?"
