The captain first explained what had happened, and then began to ask who had done it.
"If you come forward now and take your child back, I will turn a blind eye to this matter. If I wait until I find out, I will report this matter to the commune and let them handle it."
Zhou Yongfu was holding a loudspeaker in the front and talking to the people below. Aunt Song Lan brought a few women to check who in the village was pregnant and had given birth. After finding out, they would report to the commune.
The village is so small that it is obvious which family's daughter-in-law is pregnant and which family's daughter-in-law has given birth, and it is easy for the villagers to find out.
But Aunt Song Lan couldn't find out who it was after searching around. Suddenly, someone said, "Xiaomei's mother, where's your second daughter-in-law? Why hasn't she come out? Is she about to give birth?"
Aunt Song Lan and the team leader also heard this and saw Li Xiaomei's mother Wang Furong avoiding everyone's gaze with a guilty look on her face.
"Yes, yes, the baby is coming soon."
When Jiang Qingwu saw her like that, she knew there was something fishy, otherwise why would she feel so guilty? Her second son Li Guo also felt very guilty.
"Captain, in this case, in order to thoroughly investigate, I think it is necessary for the village to go to her house to check whether her daughter-in-law is really still pregnant."
"Yes, what Mrs. Yunzhou said makes sense. It's no big deal for me to take people there," Aunt Song Lan said as she was about to go to Li Xiaomei's house.
Wang Furong stopped her and said, "No, no need. If you go, you will only disturb my daughter-in-law's recovery."
"Don't worry, I'll just take a look to confirm that she is pregnant and then I'll leave, but I won't delay her recovery." Aunt Song Lan had of course seen through the trick.
Aunt Song Lan and several maids went to Li Xiaomei's house and quickly brought Li Guo's wife, Hu Xiaohong, over. As soon as they saw her belly, they knew what was going on. It didn't seem like she was pregnant at all. Wang Furong was just lying.
"Hu Xiaohong, tell me, is this your baby?" Zhou Yongfu's voice revealed anger, which frightened Hu Xiaohong.
"No, no, it's not my baby," Hu Xiaohong glanced at her mother-in-law and her husband and spoke stutteringly.
"Is it really not your child? Then someone secretly left the child at my doorstep, and I had no choice but to report it to the police. Do you know that abandonment can lead to jail time?"
Jiang Qingwu walked up to Hu Xiaohong and spoke in a cold tone, staring at her.
"I didn't abandon someone else's child, so why should I go to jail? It's not that I don't want the child, it's that my family can't afford to raise him," Hu Xiaohong broke down and cried.
"Can you abandon your child just because you can't raise him? Isn't life hard for every family in the village? Who else would abandon their child? Only your family would dare to do so?"
Zhou Yongfu walked straight up to the Li family and scolded them.
"Captain, we have no choice. Besides, we have found a good home for her. Jiang Zhiqing can let her live a good life," Li Guo argued.
"Bullshit, why did you give birth to her when I couldn't raise you? You just wanted to have fun and then kill someone and then you don't care anymore? Are you worthy of being a father?"
Zhou Yunzhou may have remembered his childhood experiences, and angrily kicked Li Guo far away, cursing as he kicked him.
"Since you say that, I'm going to report it to the Public Security Bureau. I can't just raise any cat or dog. Our family is well-off and it has nothing to do with you. Yun Zhou and I work hard to earn money to support our son Zhou Qian'an. What does it have to do with you bastards?"
Jiang Qingwu scolded everyone in the Li family, but Wang Furong's mother still kept pestering her, "Jiang Zhiqing, it's okay for you to raise another child. Look, your son is only one year older than her. You can just raise her as a child bride. Jiang Zhiqing, aren't you trying to force us to death?"
Jiang Qingwu sneered, "What a trick of moral kidnapping! Coincidentally, I have no morals. Can a shameless bitch like you confuse the Tang family's bloodline? The child is innocent. I simply look down on you. Look at how disgusting your family's faces are after committing so many shameful things.
When my son grows up, I can't tell him that his wife has an adulterous grandfather and that his third and fourth uncles are the most extravagant and spend more money than anyone else, and then have them all go to jail. If that happens, I'm afraid our Zhou Qian'an will run away from home out of anger."
Everyone in the village knew about the Li family's little troubles. Not only in the village, but also in the surrounding area, it was already well-known. But Jiang Qingwu didn't want to let them go.
"Oh, I forgot, she has a shameless, lowly aunt who is a slut, and an uncle who should be called uncle but now calls him cousin. Wang Furong, tell me, is your family lowly or not?"
Jiang Qingwu turned to the captain and said, "Captain, since this matter involves my family, I can't just let it go. I'm going to report it to the police. Whoever wants to raise this child can raise it. Yun Zhou and I have our own child, and we won't raise someone else's child."
The captain said, "Then report it to the police. Whoever owns the child should take him away. If anyone in the village does something like this again, we will not let them off lightly."
After the police arrived, Li Guo and Hu Xiaohong blamed everything on Wang Furong. The police took him away, and Hu Xiaohong took the child home.
"Wait, the thick mattress she's wrapped in is my son's. The cotton and cloth are brand new. She also drank my son's milk powder. The cotton costs fourteen yuan a pound without coupons, the cloth is two yuan, and the milk powder is fifty cents. Thirty yuan and fifty cents, pay."
Jiang Qingwu didn't lack the money, but she couldn't just let it go. She had to teach Li Guo and the others a lesson, and also give a warning to those people in the village with bad intentions that if they wanted to take advantage of her and Zhou Yunzhou, they had to consider their own abilities.
