Wen Moyu's death was truly unexpected. When the Wen family received the news, none of them could believe their ears and were extremely shocked.
The messenger was Mo Ziyang. He said in a hoarse voice, "Shortly after you left the hospital, my older brother and I accompanied my second uncle to the police station to report the case. Then we went to the Yu family with the police. The police took the Yu family back for questioning and investigation. At that time, Xiaoyu was still fine and told the police that Zifeng did not fall by accident, but was pushed down by Yu Laoda."
"Later, the police also confirmed this statement with Yu's younger sister and neighbors. When the rest of the Yu family saw that the matter had been exposed, they had no choice but to tell the truth."
After Xiaoyu and the rest of the Yu family went home, my eldest brother, second uncle, and I went to their house again not long after to ask for the money back. We didn't see Xiaoyu for a while, and they made excuses that she wasn't home. But my eldest brother noticed something was off about their demeanor and became suspicious.
“The child was crying in the room. My older brother said he wanted to go in and check on the child, but the Yu family tried to stop him. My second uncle and I also felt something was wrong. Finally, while they were blocking my older brother, I ran in and saw Xiaoyu lying on the ground, lifeless.”
Mo Yitao swayed after hearing his words, and Wen Shengtao and Wen Qihang also looked grief-stricken.
"How could this happen? How could this happen out of nowhere?" Mo Yitao murmured, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face. After all, she was a piece of her own flesh and blood, and hearing such devastating news was extremely painful for her.
"Aunt, Uncle, we've already called the police. The police should still be at the house. Do you want to go over there?" Mo Ziyang asked.
Mo Yitao covered her mouth and cried uncontrollably. Wen Shengtao nodded and said, "Go."
Lu Yuan first took Mo Yitao, Wen Shengtuo, and Wen Qihang to the Yu family's house. Wen Moxue and Qu Wenjing settled the three children before going there themselves. They found Mo Yitao's two best friends to look after the children.
When Lu Yuan and his group arrived, the police had already preliminarily determined the cause of death: Wen Moyu had been strangled.
When Mo Yitao lifted the white cloth and saw the person, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Wen Shengtao and Wen Qihang's eyes also instantly reddened, and Lu Yuan also peeked out.
Ugh, his whole face looks like a pig's head, and there are obvious pinch marks on his neck.
Mo Yitao cried for a while, then rushed towards Yu Xuejian like a madwoman, scratching and clawing at him. Wen Qihang also stepped forward and punched him a few times. If it weren't for the police stopping them, the two of them would have beaten him to death.
The Yu family was detained in the police station again in less than half a day. The group shifted the blame to each other, and Yu's mother cried and shouted that Yu Xuejian had married a jinx.
The moment Yu Xuejian was taken away by the police, he turned his head and saw Wen Moxue. Perhaps thinking he was finished, he became reckless and shouted at her.
"Xiaoxue, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have given you up back then. If I hadn't, we would be very happy now, and we would have our own children. Please forgive me? I promise I'll marry you in the next life..."
"Bang--"
Lu Yuan stepped forward and punched him in the mouth, dislocating his jaw. All that followed was a series of "Ahhhhh!"
The police quickly pulled the man away. Lu Yuan, with his long legs, kicked him, and Yu Xuejian immediately bent over, clutching his stomach in pain.
The police only gave Lu Yuan a couple of warnings for hitting someone. They had all seen how annoying Yu was, saying those things in front of a man. He was asking for a beating.
Neither Yu Xuejian nor her parents were innocent in Wen Moyu's death.
When Brother Yu was arrested, Wen Moyu was the first to turn against him. Yu's parents hated her and started to berate, insult, and even beat her as soon as she got home.
They had clearly agreed on a consistent story, telling everyone that Mo Zifeng had fallen on his own, and Wen Moyu had even nodded in agreement. But when they arrived at the police station, she didn't hesitate to implicate Boss Yu.
At first, Wen Moxue was persuaded by the Yu family to conceal the truth. But then she thought that if her eldest brother was arrested, Yu Xuejian would be the only son in the family, and her younger sister would eventually get married. Everything the Yu family owned would be theirs, and they would have enough houses to live in. There was no need for her to go back and beg her parents for mercy.
So he told Yu Xuejian his idea, and Yu Xuejian agreed after only a moment's hesitation.
This was something the couple had agreed upon beforehand. When they returned, only Wen Moyu was beaten and scolded, while Yu Xuejian watched coldly from the side. Wen Moyu then mocked and betrayed Yu Xuejian.
The latter dared to do it but not to admit it, so he naturally refused to acknowledge it. Enraged, he grabbed the other person by the neck and made him shut up.
Yu Xuejian had one arm in a sling, so he might not have been able to beat Wen Moyu in a fight. However, his parents were there and kept beating him, leaving Wen Moyu powerless to fight back.
In a fit of rage, Yu Xuejian strangled Ren Sheng to death.
The Yu family was left with only Yu Xiaomei, who was still in high school, and her baby who was only a few months old. The Yu family had committed a crime, and the factory not only fired several people, but also wanted to take back their house.
The police eventually recovered 852 yuan from the Yu family, which was then used to compensate Uncle Mo.
Yu Xiaomei still wanted money, and Mo Mingxiu said that he could have the money, but the 800 yuan was obviously not enough to compensate her. He asked her to write an IOU to pay the rest of the money, and Yu Xiaomei dared not ask for any more money.
Yu Xiaomei went to stay with relatives, but the children were left unattended.
“They say evil deeds live on for a thousand years, but why is your mother different?” Mo Yitao murmured to her child while wiping away tears.
Since Yu Xiaomei didn't care about the child, he had to be taken back home by his maternal grandparents.
This child was more than two months older than the triplets, but looked smaller. On his first day at the Wen family home, he cried all day, but after being fed and cared for, and with the triplets taking turns giving him baby talk lessons, he quickly adapted to the Wen family environment.
"Sigh, Mom and Dad are going to have to work hard from now on!" Wen Muxue sighed.
Taking care of children is so hard. With parents and grandparents gone, the responsibility falls on the maternal grandparents. There's nothing we can do about it.
Lu Yuan suggested, "Mom, why don't you find someone to help take care of the child? If my older brother and his family have children in the future, they won't be able to manage at all."
Mo Yitao said, "I don't mind being tired, but I'm afraid of raising a thankless child like his mother."
It's hard to say for sure; both Wen Moyu and Yu Xuejian are selfish people.
Wen Shengtao sighed, "We'll discipline him more strictly from now on. If he really becomes an ingrate like his mother, we'll kick him out when he comes of age."
The child couldn't understand what the adults were saying. He was chewing on teething toys with the triplets, and every now and then he would grin at them with his little teeth.
The child's household registration was now with the Wen family. Qu Wenjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the unchanged surname on the household registration book. These past two days, she had been worried that her in-laws would adopt the child, or that the child would be raised under their care and bear the Wen surname.
Wen Muxue asked, "What's the child's name?"
We had no prior contact, and I didn't even know the child's name.
“Yu Zhenghui!” Qu Wenjing replied.
Wen Qihang said, "His original name was Yu Zhenghui, but Dad said that Zhenghui was not as good as Zhenghui, so he changed one character."
Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue both nodded. Wen Moyu ruined her life because of her competitive nature, and the two elders probably didn't like the word "competition".
The word "正" (zhèng) signifies righteousness, justice, and a pure heart, and it also expresses the two elders' expectations and hopes for their child.
