Chapter 117 Investigating the Cause of Death
Grandma Zhang looked Wenxi over and asked in surprise, "Are you Xiaoxi?"
Wenxi nodded.
Grandma Zhang clapped her hand on her thigh.
"Oh, Xiaoxi, you've grown so big."
Wenxi smiled and said, "Grandma Zhang, I'm already 23 years old."
"Well, you're very beautiful. You don't look like the dark and skinny kid you were when you were little. You were so small back then, and looked so malnourished. I was worried you wouldn't grow up. I didn't expect you to be so beautiful now."
"By the way, have you returned to Lao Wen's house?"
Wenxi shook his head.
"I haven't been there yet. I saw you, Grandma Zhang, when I got to the village entrance, so I came over to say hello."
"It's rare that you still remember my old bones!"
"Of course I remember. I always remember you stuffing a steamed bun into my hand."
After a few pleasantries, the other two old men started preparing to fight.
Lin Huizi was indeed a good mahjong player as she said. The three old men lost several games in a row, but they were convinced.
"Grandpa and grandma, if I win the next round, can you answer me a question? I can also refund the money you just lost."
Lin Huizi made a request.
When the old men heard that they could get their lost money back, they happily agreed.
There is no doubt that Lin Huizi won this round again.
Lin Huizi returned the money they had lost as she was told.
"Grandpa and grandma, I've returned your money. It's time for you to answer my questions."
"Ask!"
"Yes, you ask!"
"We would like to find out which hospital Wenxi's mother gave birth to her."
When the three heard this, they avoided each other's gaze, stood up and left.
"I should go home and cook for my grandson."
"I'm going back to work too."
Wenxi called Grandma Zhang.
"Grandma Zhang, can you tell me if you know this? This matter is very important to me."
"Xiaoxi, you should ask your grandparents about this matter. We can't tell you. You know your grandparents' temper. If we tell them about their family affairs, they will come to our door and scold us for three days and three nights."
"I won't let them know it was you who said that."
"There are only so many people in this village, how could they not know? When I gave you a steamed bun, they would scold me every time they saw me, saying I was meddling in other people's business and warning me not to interfere in the affairs of their old Wen family."
Wenxi knew there must be something else behind her mother's death, but Grandma Zhang didn't dare to tell her.
She had no choice but to give up for now.
The two returned to the hotel.
"Xiaoxi, what should we do next?"
"Let's go find Grandma Zhang tonight. She must know something, and everyone in the village should know it, but they're afraid to tell because of the Wen family."
"Okay, let's go tonight."
At night, it was already dark and the village was pitch black.
Wenxi and Lin Huizi found Grandma Zhang's house.
When Grandma Zhang saw that it was them, she hesitated for a while before finally letting them in.
Wenxi said earnestly, "Grandma Zhang, please tell me. This matter is very important to me."
"Xiaoxi, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
"Grandma Zhang, I know you're a good person. I can't find anyone else in this village to ask except you, so please tell me."
Grandma Zhang felt sorry for the child. She was already old and wouldn't live for many more years, so Suo Xin told her.
"Your mother didn't even go to the hospital to give birth to you."
Wenxi was puzzled.
"Then where did she give birth to me?"
"At Lao Wen's house, your mother was about to give birth, and everyone urged them to send her to the hospital. Your grandparents disagreed. They said that when they were young, they never went to the hospital to give birth, and they gave birth at home. Then they called two women from our village, us, to help with the delivery."
Wenxi was furious, clenching his fists tightly, and asked in a trembling voice, "What happened next?"
Grandma Zhang sighed.
"Later, when your mother gave birth to you, it turned out to be true..."
Grandma Zhang hesitated to speak.
Wenxi asked nervously, "Really?"
"Your mother couldn't give birth to you. Her screams could be heard throughout the village. We knew your mother was dying, so we urged your father to rush her to the hospital. Your father also realized something was wrong and wanted to take your mother to the hospital, but your grandparents stopped him, saying it would be unlucky if their grandson was born on the road."
"So, they just left my mother in pain like that?"
Wenxi felt that his voice was trembling.
Lin Huizi roared angrily, "Who are these people? How can they be so cold and cruel? Xiaoxi's mother is so pitiful!"
Wenxi could also imagine how desperate her mother was at that time.
"It took three whole days and three nights to give birth to you. Perhaps out of maternal love, your mother used up her last bit of strength to give birth to you. When your grandparents saw that it was a girl, they didn't even want to hold her.
I noticed your mother was bleeding heavily, so I quickly asked your father to take her to the hospital. However, your grandparents stopped them, saying that your mother hadn't given birth to the Wen family's grandson, so she didn't deserve to be sent to the hospital.
"Your mother seemed to know she was dying and insisted on holding you. I put you in her arms, and she left with you in her arms, feeling reluctant to let go. I still can't forget that scene. This child was so pitiful!"
Wenxi hugged Lin Huizi and cried inconsolably.
Lin Huizi also cried.
Is this guy still a fucking human?
Wenxi felt a pain in her heart as if it were being stabbed by needles. If only her mother had not been pregnant with her, she might still be alive and well now, and be found by the Li family, living a happy life.
Think about it, my mother was just a little girl under 20 years old at that time, but she had to endure so much.
Suddenly, a rapid and violent knock on the door interrupted her sad mood.
The person outside the door yelled, "Zhang, come out here! What grudge do I have against you? You're going to gossip about our Wen family with that damned girl Wenxi."
Grandma Zhang was panicking. How did the Wen family find out so quickly? What should she do now?
Wenxi soothed her, "Grandma Zhang, don't panic! We'll go out the back door. They can't catch you and can't do anything to you."
"Okay, I'll take you to the back door. If this old Wen family gets rogue, I really can't handle it."
Finally, Wenxi and Lin Huizi went out from the back door, walked around, and came to Old Wen's house.
The old lady of the Wen family was at home, but she didn't recognize Wen Xi when she saw him.
"Who are you looking for?"
Wenxi smiled coldly.
"It seems that your eyesight is really blurry. You can't even recognize your own granddaughter."
Old Mrs. Wen squinted her eyes and looked carefully.
"Are you really that damn girl Wenxi?"
"Are you disappointed that I didn't grow up to be disabled?"
"Your mouth has become more powerful. No wonder your father gets angry when he talks about you and says you are the nemesis of our Wen family."
"He's right. From now on, I will be the nemesis of your Wen family. Just wait for retribution!"
