From yesterday's suspicion that the child wasn't hers to the later confirmation of her suspicions, Cheng Yue remained on edge.
Hearing her parents say they should give up the child, she couldn't hold back any longer. She broke down, clutching her head and sobbing like a wounded little animal.
The Cheng family members all had tears in their eyes. They knew all too well that the child was innocent, but they should also think about their own child.
Neighbors and onlookers were at a loss for words, each seemingly having their own reasons when considering the situation from their own perspective.
"What are you crying for? You're always crying and whining," Liu Yi suddenly roared and pushed away the neighbor who was protecting him. "I've called you Mom for so many years, and you're always thinking about that good-for-nothing. Why don't you ever think about me?"
Now that you've exposed everything, how am I supposed to live?
You used to say I was your precious son, so what are you doing now?
I am a son who can carry on the family line, what use is that money-losing brat?
"You brought so many people here today and injured my grandparents and my father. Do you still want to acknowledge me as your son?"
The fact that a fourteen-year-old said such a thing shocked everyone watching. Shouldn't he be hiding in a corner trying to minimize his presence? Where did he get the audacity to jump out like that?
Cheng Yue, “Don’t mention the word ‘mother,’ because you don’t deserve it.”
My biological daughter was born through a lawful marriage, and what about you? You were just born from your father's affair with some other woman. Calling you a bastard or a child is an understatement; how dare you slander my own daughter?
Although she hasn't seen the child yet, Cheng Yue won't allow anyone to slander her.
She showed no mercy even to Liu Yi, whom she had raised herself.
Hearing such vicious words from Cheng Yue, Liu Yi was stunned. This woman had always put him first, even when he was verbally abusing and vandalizing her, she would still smile and coax him.
The Cheng family no longer takes him seriously. A few boys pushed him into a corner, and the family protected Cheng Yue as they left.
Jiang Yi followed behind with Hua Xiangyun. People like them, who were just there to make up the numbers, only needed to follow behind and maintain order.
"Is that all?" Hua Xiangyun glanced back at the Liu family members who were supporting each other. Were they really going to let off so easily for the evil deeds they had committed?
"What are you thinking about? Let's hurry to the next match." Jiang Yi dragged her along, trying not to fall behind.
When people came to inquire, Cheng's relatives and friends didn't forget to explain to them what they had been doing.
This is undoubtedly a bombshell; someone actually switched their legitimate daughter with their illegitimate child in order to have a child through adultery.
Now that her family knows about this, it's the start of a good show for outsiders.
It happened to be the weekend, so everyone followed the group, wanting to see which woman had such great charm that she could turn an illegitimate child into a legitimate one.
On the way, Hua Xiangyun ran into several classmates, and under their persistent questioning, she also acted as a guide.
Public opinion cannot be silenced, and the Liu family will have to swallow the bitter fruit of their evil deeds in the days to come.
When I arrived at the street where Hu Juan lived, I found that it was already packed with people.
It seems that Hu Juan's husband's family, the Feng family, are also quite swift in their actions, having already come to their door to cause trouble.
As one of the victims, the onlookers made way for them.
When they squeezed to the front, they saw an old woman pressing down on Hu Juan and hitting her repeatedly, while crying with snot and tears streaming down her face.
They explained it to the people next to them without even having to ask.
"Hu Juan really hid herself well. Everyone used to think that she was a strong woman because she was a widow and never remarried. When people saw someone struggling, they would lend a helping hand. Who knew she was so filthy inside?"
Several women began to vie with each other to give these newcomers a briefing.
“In the past, we could understand when she hit her daughter, thinking that she was taking her anger out on the child. But at least she didn’t abandon the child and raised her alone.”
Who knew this woman could be so cruel? She sent her illegitimate son away to enjoy a life of luxury, but instead stole someone else's daughter back home.
The woman, who was getting into the conversation, was pulled by her companion, who then reminded her that the person they were talking about was also one of the victims.
He chuckled dryly and said, "We used to feel sorry for that little girl, but we never expected that it was Hu Juan who caused this trouble."
See that old woman who hit someone? That's her late husband's mother.
After her husband passed away, her in-laws left her the compensation and the house out of consideration for her children.
We live nearby and know that during holidays, her mother-in-law would send her gifts so that she would treat the children well.
I've never seen such a shameless woman. Taking the things back isn't good for the child either. At the time, we thought she was heartless, but we never imagined she was so vicious.
Seeing that she was about to steer the conversation off-topic again, someone nearby chimed in, "When you came just now, Hu Juan still denied it outright, insisting that her daughter was a child of the Feng family."
Her in-laws had already received accurate information, and even her lover had revealed it.
"We know you've come looking for your child. Poor Tingting, she was just trying to protect Hu Juan when Grandma Feng slapped her to the ground and knocked her unconscious. The neighbors just took her to the clinic. If you're looking for her, go there."
Upon hearing that the child had been injured and taken to the clinic, Jiang Yi immediately relayed the news. Upon hearing this, Cheng Yue, without even bothering to personally deal with Hu Juan, ran towards the clinic.
Seeing her daughter like this, Xia Jia could only sigh and tell her sisters-in-law to follow behind and keep an eye on her.
Hua Xiangyun was caught in a dilemma, not knowing which side to side with.
After thinking about it for a moment, I decided to stay where I was.
While hitting her son, Mrs. Feng cried to those around her, “I only had one promising son. He died young, but at least he left behind a son.”
Although we live in a village and live a poor life, we left all the compensation money to this woman for the sake of our children, and we didn't even ask about her house or her job.
But this woman deceived our family terribly. She cheated on my son before he was born and even had a son with her lover.
To give his son a better life, he even stole someone else's daughter; how wicked is he?
All I want now is to get justice for my son and get back what belongs to the Feng family.
I'm an old woman who doesn't know anyone here, and I don't know which kind comrade will help me find a leader. I just want justice.
Watching the septuagenarian woman recount her grievances with tears streaming down her face, some elderly people also felt a sense of empathy.
Which elderly person doesn't want the best for their children and grandchildren? But it's wrong to deceive them like this.
Someone immediately ran errands for her, while Hu Juan closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.
A chill ran through me; I knew it was all over.
They were just one step away from a family reunion, so how did things fall apart at the last hurdle?
