Zhou Manyun was momentarily paralyzed. Some long-forgotten fragments in her mind seemed to be activated, flashing rapidly before her eyes. She tried to grasp something, but couldn't grasp anything at all, only feeling waves of coldness running through her body.
Zhang Yingcui asked several times, "Mrs. Zhou, what's wrong?" but Zhou Manyun didn't hear her.
He was still staring at the family photo with a complicated expression.
Following her gaze, Zhang Yingcui felt a little guilty. In fact, she had long forgotten whose child she had switched with back then. Occasionally, she would feel a little annoyed when she thought about it, wondering why she hadn't taken a closer look. Perhaps she would have had a chance to see her own biological daughter.
However, she didn't have many such thoughts, because Zhang Yingcui herself wasn't interested in girls; her heart was only for her son, Chu Dabao.
Girls are all a waste of money, and this only made Grandma Li hate Chu Yuan even more, since she always protected her.
She even thought countless times with resentment that if she could do it all over again, she would definitely drown the person in the water tank outside when she got home.
Since they're not my biological children, why bother raising them? It'll only cause me trouble!
“This little girl is…” Zhou Manyun finally let her arm move uncontrollably and slowly pointed to the child in the photo.
Alarm bells rang in Zhang Yingcui's heart. She suddenly walked over and blocked Zhou Manyun's view. "Ugh, isn't it just that brat Chu Yuan? If I had known that she would only cause trouble for the family after she was born, I should have just drowned her when I brought her home from the hospital!"
Zhou Manyun, however, grasped a key point: "Your child was born in a hospital, not at home?"
She even grabbed Zhang Yingcui's arm, somewhat excitedly, and asked, "Which hospital?"
Back then, her husband was on a business trip in Milin County when he was involved in a traffic accident. At that time, she was nearing her due date. Upon hearing such devastating news, she knew she shouldn't act impulsively, but she still decided to go to him despite being heavily pregnant.
At that time, the old man's other two sons and daughters-in-law had died in accidents. Zhou Manyun always had a secret premonition that she and her husband would not live long either, so she left home with the determination to die.
Later, her husband indeed couldn't hold on, and she also went into labor prematurely due to excessive grief, giving birth in the hospital where her husband had died from his injuries.
She was heartbroken at the time and had no heart to care for the baby after giving birth, so she left the baby in the nursery to be cared for by the nurses.
They didn't take the child away until the child was discharged from the hospital.
So before being discharged from the hospital, she really didn't remember much about her child, but there was one thing she vaguely remembered: when the nurse was cleaning the child, she mumbled something in a daze.
"Look at this child, she's really funny. Most people have beauty marks on their foreheads, but she has one on the instep, hahaha..."
The more she thought about it, the stronger Zhou Manyun's grip became, as if she wanted to pinch a piece of Zhang Yingcui's flesh off!
Zhang Yingcui screamed, "Ouch, Madam Zhou, what's wrong with you? Are you possessed?"
