Chapter 162 Child Swapping
Tao Ying carried the little one back to the ward.
Tao Ying doesn't know how to take care of children, and after the body transplant, she can no longer retrieve her previous memories.
What I knew before was like something I'd seen on TV; I had some memory of it, but it wasn't very clear.
Fortunately, Liu Li knew how to take care of the baby, and helped the baby lie on its side to vomit amniotic fluid and pass meconium.
Before long, Wang Dashuan and Li Guiying arrived.
"Sister-in-law, Chunni has given birth?" Li Guiying hurried over.
"Sister-in-law, I'll stay here and watch over things. You go home and rest." Li Guiying put the things she had brought aside.
"I'm fine, Guiying. You and Dashuan close the shop today and take turns watching over Chunni," Tao Ying said softly.
“Sister-in-law, even if you hadn’t said anything, we had been planning to do the same thing. I’ve already told Baohe to come straight to your house after school.” Li Guiying couldn’t possibly miss such a big event as Chunni giving birth, especially since her sister-in-law was pregnant.
It's really good to be rich. I used to think my sister-in-law was getting younger and younger because she used makeup, but now that she's pregnant, she still looks just as young even without makeup.
"No, when my child came out just now, I saw an old lady who stayed next to us and followed us all the way to our ward. I was afraid that someone might be trying to steal the child," Tao Ying whispered to Li Guiying.
It wasn't that Tao Ying was overthinking things, but the old woman's behavior was too strange; when she looked at her, the old woman's eyes kept darting away.
Furthermore, most of the stories featuring real and fake heiresses and young masters are set in this era.
Tao Ying didn't want her little grandson to be switched with someone else.
They raise other people's children like precious jewels, only to have their own children abused.
Just imagining that scene, Tao Ying wanted to grind the family that stole the child to dust.
If it's an accidental mix-up, that's understandable, but if it's intentional, then it's a heinous crime deserving of death.
Including the child who enjoyed a life that shouldn't have belonged to him.
Because he is the one who enjoys the benefits, he has to give back the life he stole.
"Steal a child? I'll scratch her to death!" Li Guiying's eyes widened, her fighting spirit rising instantly.
"We just need to be careful to prevent them from stealing the children. We'll be home in three days," Tao Ying said with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, you go home tonight. I'll stay here and have Dashuan bring Baohe over too. I'll make sure our children are safe and sound." Li Guiying was afraid that if a fight broke out at night, Tao Ying might get hurt.
“We have a private ward with Liu Li and Wang Ping. Baohe doesn’t need to come over; he still has to go to school. I’ll be here tonight too,” Tao Ying gently reassured Li Guiying.
"Sister-in-law, you came in the middle of the night yesterday, you should get some sleep," Li Guiying said softly to Tao Ying.
"I'm fine. I'll go home after Yang Lin and Chun Ni come out, and I'll come back tonight," Tao Ying replied softly.
"Now Chunni has both a son and a daughter," Li Guiying said happily, looking at the little one.
More than half an hour later, Yang Lin returned carrying Wang Chunni.
Wang Chunni looked at the little one tenderly.
"Mom, what name have you thought of for the baby?" Yang Lin looked up at Tao Ying and asked.
"How about calling him Yang Chenxi?" Tao Ying was really having a headache.
I'm not really good at naming things.
“Okay.” Yang Lin nodded immediately.
"Sister-in-law, you should go home and rest. We'll stay here with Chunni." Li Guiying was still quite worried about Tao Ying.
This time, Tao Ying did not refuse. She explained the situation to Yang Lin and also told him about the woman.
"Mom, I've noticed that woman too. I'll take good care of Chunni." Yang Lin was, after all, a professional.
However, Yang Lin didn't think about stealing the child. Now, after his mother-in-law's reminder, he immediately became alert.
"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Chunni for me. I'm taking my mother home." Yang Lin said, immediately getting up.
Tao Ying followed Yang Lin downstairs. "Are you planning to go back to the police station to call for help?" Tao Ying asked softly after getting into the car.
"Yes, although the crackdown has ended, this is still a serious matter, involving Chunni and Xixi. I don't want anything to go wrong," Yang Lin said earnestly.
Yang Lin wouldn't allow anyone to steal the happiness he had finally achieved.
"Okay." Tao Ying didn't say anything.
Yang Lin dropped Tao Ying off at her doorstep and then drove away.
When I got home, Zhou Daya came out to greet me, "How's Chunni?"
"Mom, mother and baby are both safe. Chunni gave birth to a big, healthy boy weighing six pounds and eight ounces. Our Yangyang's wish has finally come true," Tao Ying said with a smile.
"That's good! That's good!" Zhou Daya secretly wiped away her tears.
Tao Ying didn't say much to Zhou Daya and went back to her room to sleep, feeling a bit of back pain.
I slept until 3 p.m. When I woke up, the whole place smelled of chicken soup.
"Sister Tao, I'm going to deliver food to Chunni in a bit and relieve Liu Li. Are you coming with me?" Wang Ping asked softly when she saw Tao Ying was awake.
“I’ll go with you. I might not be able to take care of you tonight, so you should find time to rest yourself.” Tao Ying nodded.
"Don't worry, Sister Tao." Wang Ping nodded quickly.
Knowing that the employer was not a demanding person, he quickly got food for Tao Ying.
After Tao Ying finished eating, the two of them hailed a donkey and rushed to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, they found only Yang Lin, Liu Li, and Li Guiying in the ward.
"Liu Li, you go back first. I'll stay here tonight," Wang Ping said softly to Liu Li.
"Sister Tao, Wang Ping and I will stay here." Liu Li was also afraid that the child would be stolen.
Liu Li wanted her employer to treat her well, and she hoped her employer would treat her well too.
"No need. If you all stay here, what will happen to your families? What will we eat? Don't worry, everything will be fine," Tao Ying said softly.
When Tao Ying arrived, she didn't see Yang Lin's colleagues, so she knew that Yang Lin was on a secret mission and naturally wouldn't expose it.
Although Wang Chunni's mental state was still relatively good, she was exhausted and could eat and sleep well.
Also, no one said that someone might be stealing children.
Tao Ying looked at Yang Chenxi, who was all soft and cuddly, and felt her heart melt.
The little one's head was squeezed out of the birth canal and became unusually long.
It was still bright red, but it was very easy to take care of and didn't cry or fuss.
"Xi Xi really looks just like Yang Lin," Wang Ping said with a smile.
In Wang Ping's hometown, the prevailing saying is that boys resemble their fathers and girls resemble their mothers.
Newborn babies can't tell who looks like whom, so everyone is happy.
"Aunt Wang, why are you swearing?" Yang Lin exploded as soon as Wang Ping finished speaking.
"Who did I insult?" Wang Ping was a little confused.
Wang Ping hadn't been there as long as Liu Li, but she cherished her job just as much. She was too busy trying to please her employer to dare to scold anyone.
"Aunt Wang, my Xixi must be like Chunni, she must be like Chunni, or Baoshan, Baomin, anyone is fine, as long as she's not as ugly as me, how will she find a wife when she grows up?" Yang Lin said seriously.
Wang Ping “…”
"You scared me to death, child. This boy doesn't look like anything special." Wang Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
The whole family couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Around seven or eight o'clock, Wang Dashuan came over, but instead of going inside, he lay down on a bench in the corridor.
Tao Ying and Li Guiying lay on the bed next to each other.
There were three beds in the room, plus a bed for a caregiver.
Yang Lin and Yang Chenxi were lying on another bed.
In the middle of the night, Wang Chunni needed to go to the toilet, and Tao Ying and Wang Ping accompanied her.
Wang Dashuan followed behind the three of them, worried that Wang Chunni might not be able to walk and that he could carry her.
Only Yang Lin and Li Guiying remained in the room.
The door was still half-open.
About five minutes later, a furtive figure slowly pushed open the half-closed ward door.
Peeking inside, I saw that Yang Lin and Li Guiying were both fast asleep, so I slowly walked in, carrying the small cloth bag in my arms.
First, I saw a table piled high with malted milk powder, fruit, and other things in the corner, and I swallowed hard.
Then she walked towards Yang Chenxi's bed.
Just as he put down the small cloth bag in his arms, Yang Lin on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the woman's arm that was reaching towards Yang Chenxi.
"Ah!!" The woman screamed in fright at Yang Lin's actions.
As if she had received a command, Li Guiying pounced on the bed.
He tackled the woman to the ground with a loud thud.
Then came Li Guiying's fierce insults and merciless tearing.
Hearing Li Guiying's cursing, Wang Chunni panicked and hurriedly tried to run back.
"It's alright, we're all prepared, nothing will happen," Tao Ying gently reassured Wang Chunni.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going over there for a bit." Wang Dashuan hurriedly ran over.
The commotion was so loud that a lot of people gathered around. Some tried to squeeze in, but two people were standing at the door and simply pulled out their ID cards.
People were only allowed in after the hospital's duty officer came and dispersed the crowd.
"You can carry him away now. I never expected your hospital to have a baby swapping operation." Yang Lin made way for him.
Li Guiying had already sat down to the side and was holding Yang Chenxi.
A woman was lying on the ground, and there was a pool of blood on the ground.
The woman remained motionless; it was obvious that something was wrong.
However, no one sympathized with them, as the rule of law was not as sound at that time.
And they even steal other people's children; even if they were beaten to death, no one would sympathize with them.
The duty officer quickly instructed two nurses to carry the person out.
At the same time, someone went in and took the child out of the tattered blanket that was on the bed.
The nurse clearly knew whose child it was and simply took the child away.
None of the child's family members came out, as if they knew nothing about it.
“I will pursue this matter to the end. It’s not something that will be resolved just because nothing happens,” Yang Lin shouted in the corridor.
"Captain Yang!" two colleagues from the police station called out to Yang Lin.
"I'll have to trouble you again to prevent similar situations from happening again," Yang Lin said loudly.
"Yes, Captain Yang!" the two replied simultaneously.
The onlookers were immediately shocked. Was this the child of a police officer?
Is this a sign of someone who's tired of living? Or does someone think they're tough enough to handle anything?
This isn't like a mouse trying to swap kittens with a cat; what were they thinking?
Tao Ying also helped Wang Chunni slowly walk back.
Wang Chunni anxiously carried Yang Chenxi back, both of them trembling.
"Chunni, don't worry, the child can't be switched. Our Xixi is chubby and healthy, while her child is skinny and weak, probably weighing less than five pounds. Anyone can tell the difference," Li Guiying reassured her softly.
"Captain Yang, we caught a few people at the door. They should be the child's family members. They've been taken back for questioning," Yang Lin's colleague said from outside the door.
After this incident, Wang Chunni was truly terrified, and she even stopped going to the toilet outside.
His eyes never left Yang Chenxi the entire time.
Even when I'm asleep, I'll open my eyes and look around.
The next day, Liu Li came to deliver breakfast and was still a little scared after hearing about what had happened.
"You and Sister Tao should go home and have dinner. I'll keep a close eye on the child during the day," Liu Li whispered to Wang Ping.
"Guiying, you and Dashuan should go back too. I'll stay here during the day," Tao Ying said softly.
“No, sister-in-law, I have to stay. If I don’t stay, I’ll feel uneasy and won’t be able to sleep when I get back,” Li Guiying quickly said.
Li Guiying felt uncomfortable unless she was actually looking at the child.
“Yes, sister-in-law, I’m not going back either. You go back. I’ll rest on the cot.” Wang Dashuan also refused to go back.
Tao Ying didn't press the matter and took Wang Ping home.
They came again in the evening.
The events of the previous night have also been investigated and clarified.
That family had a daughter; both husband and wife were factory workers.
Because of the one-child policy, she didn't want to lose her job, and she also saw that Yang Lin's family was well-off, so she got the idea.
The woman was the child's grandmother, and the child's parents were waiting outside.
The plan is to run away once the children are successfully switched, and then let the children recognize their ancestors when they grow up. It would be even better if the two children could get married.
Tao Ying was stunned when she heard this. "How can there be such a shameless person?"
“Even if we succeed in the switch, why would we raise our enemy’s child?” Wang Chunni said resentfully.
"How is that woman?" Tao Ying asked again.
I was badly injured that night; Guiying is truly reliable.
"He's been saved, but he'll have some aftereffects; he'll have headaches from time to time," Yang Lin replied.
“I didn’t let them off the hook. I even went to their workplace to demand an explanation, and the couple has already been fired,” Yang Lin continued.
"Well done." Tao Ying nodded.
Although they dealt with that family swiftly, no one relaxed their guard.
After staying up all night, he was discharged from the hospital the next day.
Yang Lin carried Wang Chunni out directly.
Li Guiying held the child, while Liu Li supported Tao Ying.
The whole family returned to the courtyard in a grand procession.
Zhou Daya had already prepared everything.
Wang Chunni officially began her postpartum confinement period.
This time, Zhou Daya planned to have Wang Chunni do double postpartum care in order to make up for the previous losses.
Liu Li continued to take care of the children, while Wang Ping took over the shift.
On weekdays, Zhou Daya and Wang Chuntao would lend a hand.
Tao Chenyang was also very effective; he was overjoyed ever since he found out it was his younger brother.
Every day after finishing her homework, she would go back and hug Yang Chenxi.
Yang Chenxi really is closest to Tao Chenyang.
While Wang Chunni was in postpartum confinement for half a month, Tao Ying returned to Shanghai.
I plan to go find Jiang Huan, since I haven't seen Jiang Huan for almost two months.
Although we call each other every day, it's still not the same as meeting in person.
With everything at home in good condition, Tao Ying began to focus her attention more on Jiang Huan.
