Chapter 207 Jealousy and Hatred
"Why did Lu Yin want to exchange your eldest brother's child?" Qin Zheng grasped the key point: "Because your eldest brother cheated on her? Betrayed her? So he was jealous and resentful?"
"Of course not!!" Ye Yuanzhang retorted, "Child marriages are just wishful thinking on the part of our elders. My eldest brother never accepted them! He was very opposed to arranged marriages. After the wedding, he unilaterally announced in the newspaper that he had broken off his engagement with Lu Yin. He didn't cheat, and there was no betrayal!"
"Is your eldest brother the only one who opposes arranged marriages? What about Lu Yin? Does she object?" Qin Zheng asked calmly, "Or was Lu Yin simply forced to break off the engagement, and does she still want to marry your eldest brother?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuanzhang's expression suddenly fell. "Yes, Lu Yin didn't want to cancel the engagement. Because of their child marriage, she had always followed my eldest brother around and had long considered herself his. But my eldest brother didn't like her and always treated her like a little sister from the neighborhood. My eldest brother was a college student of that generation, and he had his own ideas. He couldn't possibly accept the arranged marriage arranged by his family. After discussing it with Lu Yin, he unilaterally announced in the newspaper that he and Lu Yin had broken off the engagement."
When Ye Yuanzhang recalled his time as a slave, he still felt it was unreal.
"Luyin didn't cry or make a fuss. She accepted the fact very calmly. She even told those who tried to persuade her that a forced marriage wouldn't be sweet. Since my eldest brother doesn't want it, then let's just call it a day."
"The two families were old friends, and even after the engagement was broken off, they kept in touch. My grandfather compensated Lu Yin by giving her two shops on Nanjing Road and even adopted her as his godparents. Later, when my eldest brother married his ex-eldest sister-in-law, Gu Tingyu, and had a child, Lu Yin generously offered her blessing. After my eldest brother's wedding, he and Gu Tingyu got along very well; it's no exaggeration to say they were close friends. Lu Yin was a gynecologist at St. Mary's Hospital, and because of this relationship, Gu Tingyu chose to give birth at Lu Yin's hospital."
"No one would have thought that she would never give up on my eldest brother."
"He actually took advantage of my ex-sister-in-law Gu Tingyu's childbirth and used his position to help someone else secretly replace the baby."
"It wasn't until 1958, when Yun Qiao was 15 years old, that a physical examination revealed that her blood type didn't match that of anyone else in her family. That's when we realized we had the wrong child at birth."
Qin Zheng: "So you guys are suspicious of Lu Yin?"
Ye Yuanzhang shook his head. "Not yet. We initially thought it was an accident and checked the obstetrics hospitalization list of that year, hoping to find the other family whose child was 'taken away by the wrong person'. But my eldest brother spent more than a day searching through all the mothers and their children that year, and found no one who matched the case."
Later, while checking the medical records, a careful police officer noticed something was wrong and reported that the records had been tampered with. Upon closer inspection, a midwife who had attended the birth provided a clue, saying that my ex-sister-in-law's child had healthy legs and feet and was not born with clubfoot. This meant that the medical records had been tampered with, and the answer was obvious. After all, the attending physician for my ex-sister-in-law's delivery was Lu Yin. It's impossible that anyone else would have had the time to modify the medical records.
"What did Lu Yin say?" Qin Zheng asked in a deep voice, "Since the perpetrators have been apprehended, why haven't they found the person who stole the baby after so many days?"
Ye Yuanzhang smiled bitterly and said, "Lu Yin said she knew nothing. She said she didn't know the Su family who exchanged the baby, but she just happened to see Su Lin's adoptive mother sneaking around in the inpatient department and trying to exchange Yun Qiao for another family's daughter, so she suddenly came up with the idea of 'wrongly exchanging babies' as a wonderful way to get revenge on my eldest brother.
She knew this was a sloppy move, and that it would eventually be discovered. She feared she wouldn't be able to withstand torture and confess the truth, so she didn't ask about Su Lin's adoptive mother's identity from the beginning. She didn't even know her name, let alone where her home was. As soon as the child was carried out of the hospital, the two of them parted ways, never to see each other again.
"The clues only stopped at Lu Yin. After that, my eldest brother was like a headless fly, searching for several provinces and cities around Shanghai for several days, but he still found nothing until his second birthday."
"Where is Lu Yinren now?" Qin Zheng was filled with anger when he heard this.
Because of a little selfish desire for love, Lu Yin cruelly exchanged other people's children, causing more than a dozen people to be separated from their families. He deserves to die!
Qin Zheng's dark pupils were gloomy, and his voice was as cold as ice, emitting a chilling chill. He said sternly, "She must not be telling the truth. I want to question her in person."
"Comrade Qin, I'm afraid you don't have the chance to see Lu Yin." This was said by Bai Qiu.
She sighed, a look of sorrow on her face. "After the incident, Lu Yin was quickly labeled a criminal and sent to a farm in Yunnan Province for forced labor. Unable to bear the hardship, she fled to Myanmar with some others the second month after arriving in Yunnan Province. It's said they smuggled themselves through Southeast Asia and made it to Hong Kong."
"Some say she died on the way to Hong Kong, while others say she managed to escape to Hong Kong. In short, we haven't received any news about her in over ten days. We don't know whether she is dead or alive."
