Mo Yan kept looking around as she said this. The reason she didn't take them directly to the police station was because she wanted to find the child.
But I looked around and couldn't find the brat anywhere. Where did he go?
Mo Yan grabbed Fang Guo, lifted him up, and glared at him fiercely, "Where's Xiao Bao?"
Yes, the child's name is Xiaobao, Fang Xiaobao, which means the old lady's precious darling.
"In...the woodshed."
Startled, Fang Guo pointed towards the woodshed, but Mo Yan threw him to the ground. "Useless thing."
The old lady was very unhappy when she heard Mo Yan talk about her son like that. "Who are you talking about?"
But when Mo Yan gave her a look, she immediately cowered. In the end, she was just a bully at home. As long as Mo Yan stood up for herself, she wouldn't dare to do anything.
"Mo Yan, what exactly do you want? Here's five hundred yuan, just leave now and stop making trouble. I'm just a kind-hearted person."
Lin Jia frowned. Today was her special day, and she couldn't let it be ruined. She had spent a long time choosing Fang Guo as her partner.
She's a fool who has no opinions of her own, is lazy and loves to eat, and is happy with just a little money. That makes it easy for her to take charge of things.
"Let's talk after I find my son."
Mo Yan found the woodshed and discovered it was locked. She didn't care and simply pulled the lock open.
Mo Yan opened the door and saw Fang Xiaobao thrown into the haystack. His face was flushed, and he clearly had a fever.
Mo Yan walked over with a dark expression, and sure enough, Yi Mo had a fever.
Without saying a word, she picked up Fang Xiaobao and was about to leave, saying, "Fang Guo, I'll remember what happened to Grandma Fang today."
Fang Guo suddenly seemed a little timid, "I didn't know he wasn't feeling well. He's been so disobedient these past two days, that's why..."
His joyous day couldn't be ruined, he had no choice.
Mo Yan kicked the man while holding the child, and the man fell to the ground.
Mo Yan continued walking with the child in her arms, but Lin Jia blocked her way. Before she could even speak, Mo Yan kicked her in the leg, causing her to kneel on the ground.
"A good dog doesn't block the way."
Mo Yan carried Fang Xiaobao down the mountain. Once they left the village, they called the police. She wasn't afraid they would run away. She knew that the only place to leave this place was the town, where there was a car. So she took Fang Xiaobao to the county hospital in the town.
Strangely enough, the county hospital here is located in the town, and there aren't many people there.
Police responded immediately after receiving a report that the group was a den of swindlers.
Mo Yan called Lin Bieli directly.
"Mo Yan".
Lin Bieli's voice was clearly excited; he had been waiting for Mo Yan to call him.
Because Mo Yan had done a good job, the phone was given to her directly.
Of course, Mo Yan understood that there was another layer of meaning: surveillance.
As that person's daughter, and involved in such a case, someone will be following her.
This is the real reason why Mo Yan isn't afraid that Fang Guo and Lin Jia will run away.
After all, it was a case that shocked the whole country, so the police would take notice. That's why she smashed the table. As a woman who was furious, she always had to do something.
“I saw Lin Jia from the scammers’ den. She scammed a lot of people before. I reported her to the police. Please keep an eye on her. Also, I find it very strange. Where did my adoptive parents buy me from? You’d better investigate.”
Lin Bieli was somewhat disappointed; it turned out that she had called him just to talk about these things.
"Okay, I understand."
Lin Bieli was somewhat sullen and not in high spirits.
"Then I'll hang up."
Mo Yan hung up the phone and took the child straight to the county hospital. The doctor gave her a fever-reducing injection and drew blood.
After being diagnosed with tonsillitis, Mo Yan was immediately admitted to the hospital.
Once everything is settled, we'll go directly to transfer the household registration. It's worth mentioning that Mo Yan's household registration is still with his adoptive parents because he and Fang Guo don't have a marriage certificate.
Initially, Mo Yan wasn't old enough; later, Old Lady Fang wouldn't allow it. [In those days, as long as you lived together for a few years and everyone around you knew you were husband and wife, it was considered a de facto marriage and would be protected. Later, the marriage law changed; don't use current marriage laws to judge that era. If I'm wrong, it's just a difference between places.]
Since they didn't get a marriage certificate, they naturally didn't transfer their household registration. As for Fang Xiaobao, he wasn't registered either. At this time, household registration was done uniformly. If someone came to check, they would register all the children at once. Even the ages were filled in randomly. Mo Yan didn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on.
After paying the fee, Mo Yan went to watch Fang Xiaobao receive his IV drip.
The fever started to subside half an hour later, and the brat's clothes were all wet.
He woke up groggily and saw his mother, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. Fang Xiaobao immediately burst into tears, feeling wronged.
“Mom, Grandma said you ran off with another man and that you don’t want me anymore.”
Fang Xiaobao burst into tears, feeling wronged. At this moment, he was not yet the violent teenager who would be dissatisfied with everything three years later.
He was just a poor kid who hadn't seen his mother for two months and was even told that his mother had run off with someone else.
Not every child is born violent; they are simply forced into that state by life's circumstances.
Living under her stepmother's thumb meant enduring constant scolding and beatings. As for her father, with a stepmother came a stepfather. And her grandmother, when no one else gave her money, she was a gold nugget. Lin Jia was generous with money, so naturally, she hoped Lin Jia would give her a gold nugget.
Fang Xiaobao became an insignificant presence in the family. If he didn't fight or compete, he wouldn't get any food; if he wasn't ruthless, he would be bullied.
As for going to school, he saw everyone else going out to work, and he figured it was better to go out and earn money than to be bullied at home.
As for his biological mother, perhaps at first he hoped she would come back to save him from his dire straits, but as time went on, that expectation turned into disappointment, and eventually, hope turned into despair.
No one knows how he got through those three years. He didn't want to talk about it and was unwilling to talk about it. Maybe he hated his own mother, but he only said harsh words.
He felt that studying was useless.
Later, the original owner was tricked, which was probably still the work of that Sanya.
The original owner couldn't understand how her child had turned out that way, but Mo Yan could understand some of it.
Things haven't gotten to the worst yet, so this brat is just having a bad temper and experiencing a big psychological letdown, since he used to think that his grandmother was the best person to him.
They would give him all the good food and buy him candy. He couldn't accept that she had suddenly become a different person, and he couldn't accept even more that the villagers said he had a mother who had run away with another man.
He didn't believe it, so he fought with them and was locked up.
His mother went to earn money to buy him a schoolbag, but before she even came back, he had a stepmother.
"They're talking nonsense, I just went to work."
Mo Yan grabbed his hand and began to speak, word by word.
Hearing this, the brat finally smiled. "I knew it! My mom wouldn't run off with someone and abandon me."
