Chapter 117 Temporary Foster Care
Chen Wenjun came back to his senses and said uncertainly: "I just think this pair of socks looks familiar. They look like the ones my son wore back then. It could also be a coincidence."
During the Chinese New Year, after Lin Qin learned about Li Lan's situation, she packed up Ping An's childhood belongings and gave them to Li Lan, hoping that they could have a son as they wished. It was impossible for Chen Wenjun to admit his mistake for his son's things, but he just didn't want to say it out loud.
Shen Wenfeng looked surprisingly serious. He looked at Chen Wenjun deeply and said, "Brother, I may have to trouble you to go to the hospital with us. I know you are very busy. Don't worry, you will be well soon."
Chen Wenjun nodded. He had no choice but to refuse at this moment.
The group arrived at the obstetrics ward of the city hospital.
The head nurse came over in person and as soon as they met, she explained in detail what had happened with a bitter face.
"The couple arrived at the hospital at around 7am this morning. At that time, there were only doctors and nurses on duty. When they brought the woman in, she was almost due to give birth. We immediately sent her to the delivery room and asked her family to pay for hospitalization. We later found out that the family had not paid for hospitalization at all.
The baby was born at around 11 o'clock, and it was already past 12 o'clock when the mother and baby were sent to the ward. All the doctors and nurses had gone to eat, leaving only the doctor on duty.
At that time, Xiaojun, the nurse from the station, went to the ward to urge the family to pay for the hospitalization. The man kept saying yes and said he would do it right away. He went downstairs with a bag and never appeared again.
Everyone went to rest at that time and no one noticed this. At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaojun said she saw the back of a woman with pigtails hurriedly going down the stairs. Because the ward was quite quiet at that time, she didn't think much about it.
It was around 2 o'clock when the doctors and nurses came to work and found that the person was gone, leaving only a newborn baby girl. What a sin! "
The head nurse has been working in the obstetrics department for many years and has seen this kind of thing many times. She just expressed her own opinion and looked very calm.
Shen Wenfeng pondered and said, "Please ask the head nurse to describe the couple's appearance. I will let this suspected insider confirm it with you."
The head nurse glanced at Chen Wenjun twice and said directly, "It's not him. That person doesn't look like him!"
Chen Wenjun was shocked, "It definitely wasn't me! I just came here to confirm."
The head nurse led a group of people to see the little baby girl.
As the head nurse described the couple, their physical features almost matched those of Zhu Fugen and Li Lan. Chen Wenjun's face turned pale and he suppressed his anger.
Seeing him like this, Shen Wenfeng also had a clue in his mind. He didn't say anything in front of the head nurse, but whispered to Chen Wenjun: "What is your relationship with that couple?"
Chen Wenjun hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and told Zhu Fugen and Li Lan about their situation. "I don't think they will admit it even if you come to their house now. After all, they even hid their pregnancy from the villagers. In addition, according to my guess, they are very likely to have left the village, and you will most likely not be able to find them!"
Shen Wenfeng let out a long breath, "No matter if we can find it or not, we have to go there. Brother, how about raising the child in your home first? Wait until the results of our investigation come out before settling the child.
Don't worry, the police station will definitely not let you be taken advantage of."
Logically, the child should remain in the municipal hospital, but the municipal hospital may not be willing to take care of him all the time, and will keep urging them to close the case as soon as possible so that the child can be sent to an orphanage.
Most of the children in the orphanage in their city are physically disabled, and the staff who take care of them are not very caring. They don't know what will happen if they really go there.
Shen Wenfeng made this suggestion out of a trace of compassion.
Chen Wenjun sighed secretly and agreed.
It was inconvenient for him to hold the child, so Shen Wenfeng asked someone to drive him back to Nanxi.
When they arrived at Nanyu, Lin Qin and the others were all stunned to see him coming back holding a newborn baby girl.
"Wenjun, what's the situation with this child?" Lin Yi frowned.
Chen Wenjun handed the child to Huang Yuezhen for care and angrily scolded Zhu Fugen and Li Lan, "They are so cruel. They just threw the child into the hospital and ran away without looking back, without even paying the medical bills."
Lin Yi's expression changed back and forth, and he said dryly: "Maybe we are mistaken, maybe it's not them!"
Chen Wenjun shouted angrily, "The baby things that Ah Qin gave them are all safe. I can identify other things, but those things are definitely correct! And if you calculate the time, they match perfectly!"
Lin Yi fell silent, with a look of sadness on his face, and he couldn't stop sighing and shaking his head.
Lin Qin was extremely worried. "What should we do now? The police station wants us to raise the child?"
Chen Wenjun shook his head. "No, they just asked us to take care of the child for a few days until they find Fugen and his wife and confirm the child's condition. But I think they are determined to have a son. They will most likely not return to the village before they give birth to a son. It would be useless to look for them."
Lin Yi slapped his thigh heavily, "What a sin! What a good child! If it weren't for the policy that forbids having children, Fugen and his wife wouldn't have done such a ruthless thing!"
Lin Qin kept a sullen face and said nothing. Anyone with a discerning eye could see her anger.
Just then, the child woke up and cried loudly because of hunger.
Huang Yuezhen held the child in her arms and coaxed him, while hurriedly feeding him water.
Lin Yi hurried to cook porridge, intending to feed the child rice soup.
Xu Dahai went to the kitchen to help.
Chen Wenjun had to go to Nangang and couldn't stay to help.
Everyone was busy with their own things, except Lin Qin, who had nothing to do and was sulking over there.
It would take a while to cook the rice soup, and the baby couldn't be full just by drinking water, so he just fell asleep.
The rice soup was cooked and warm. Lin Yi and Huang Yuezhen worked together to wake up the baby who was sleeping restlessly and fed him half a bowl of sticky rice soup. Now the child finally filled his stomach and fell asleep soundly.
When Huang Yuezhen saw that the child was asleep, she hurriedly carried him back to her room.
After putting the child down, he walked out carefully and said to everyone in a low voice: "She slept soundly and was not very tiring. Ah Qin's belly is big and it is inconvenient for her to take care of the child. She should sleep with me during this period and I will take care of her."
Lin Qin's frown relaxed a little, and she said worriedly: "My cousin's wife still has to work, how can she have the energy to take care of the children at night? My father and his family go out early and come back late, so they are not free either."
Xu Dahai looked at this and that, and then reluctantly offered himself, "Let me take care of them! I was also the one who took care of Ajian and Akang when they were young. I have nothing to do, so I'll do it!"
Lin Qin looked over in surprise, "Brother-in-law is also helping to take care of the children?"
Xu Dahai smiled innocently and scratched his head. He glanced at Lin Yi guiltily and said, "The child stays with me and Aying at night. Aying has to work during the day and doesn't have the energy to take care of the child at night, so we take turns."
