On the other side, Chen Yan followed Wu Zheng's instructions and tried his best to find the so-called jade.
Since Old Man Gu fell into a coma for unknown reasons and was sent to the intensive care unit, all his children came back at once. As a nurse, she couldn't go directly into the ward to check, and she didn't have Shen Rongrong's ability to see where the spiritual energy was, so she could only bite the bullet and pretend to find an opportunity.
On Shen Yueying's side, a very dark and thin woman stood at the door of her ward in the afternoon of the next day, waiting for her to go out to get some water, and suddenly said something.
"You want a baby?"
child.
These two words are still the key words that prevent Shen Yueying from diverting any attention.
She stopped and hesitated for a moment before turning to look at the thin, dark woman who was wearing an orange vest and an old sweater and did not look very wealthy.
"What did you say?"
"I saw you yesterday. You stole your sister's baby. I also asked the doctors and nurses here. They said that your baby was aborted. You wanted a child, but your sister wouldn't give it to you, so you got sick." The woman looked Shen Yueying up and down: "Do you have money?"
"What are you going to do?"
"I have a child." She said it as if she was selling a piece of merchandise, and touched her belly. "I gave birth to a child, a boy. I don't want him anymore. I want to find a good mother for him. They said that your husband's family is very rich, and you are suitable to be his adoptive mother."
It took Shen Yueying a while to digest these words.
She shook her head, feeling that her spirit was about to collapse again, and quickly closed the door of the ward: "No, I don't need it, you...don't look for me."
The woman stood at the door for a long time.
The next morning, Shen Yueying was awakened by the sound of a baby crying.
They are not Shen Rongrong's children. She has been visiting her little nephews every day these days. Because they were too crowded in their mother's belly, they didn't grow much. They are as small as cats and don't make loud sounds when they cry.
This child's voice is loud, even a little noisy, and he seems to be a very strong boy.
She sat up suddenly, thinking of the woman from yesterday. Sure enough, when she opened the door, she saw her standing there.
"I brought the baby," she said quietly.
At that moment, the child's crying was like a key, instantly opening the twisted door deep in Shen Yueying's heart.
Her longing and her fragility were all soothed after she somehow took the child in.
"Why..." Shen Yueying's hands trembled slightly. Looking at the beautiful baby in her arms, who was about six or seven months old, white and chubby and weighed more than ten pounds, she could not understand the woman's intention.
"I was forced." The woman's voice was still very calm, and she didn't even look at the child. "His father is a well-known gangster in our area. I was forced to give birth to this child. I don't want him. If you can give me some money so that I can settle down in another city, I will leave the child to you. I will not come to look for him again in the future. Just regard it as fostering him here. I will write you a certificate."
When Shen Yueying reacted, the child had already been taken back by the woman.
"I'm staying at the Happiness Hotel downstairs in the Rui'an community for now. If you want to contact me, just come find me and bring money with you. Let me see your sincerity. I want this amount." The woman raised her hand to make a '1' gesture: "I guess it won't be difficult for you."
Shen Yueying watched her leave, and then sat in the sickbed for a long time, wondering whether she wanted the child, where she could get 10,000 yuan, and how she could beg or even threaten Gu's eldest sister-in-law to lend her 10,000 yuan in a daze... All of this was like a whistling train, leaving little trace in her brain.
All she knew was that when she was standing in front of the hotel, she saw the woman washing clothes in a large washtub at the door.
The woman saw her, raised her eyes calmly and asked, "Do you have money?"
Shen Yueying nodded in confusion, and before she even saw the child, she gave out a stack of blue bills.
The woman looked at the money handed over and chuckled, "You are indeed a rich lady. Come in with me."
When she was led to push the door open, she saw a four or five-year-old boy wearing dark blue patched clothes standing in the room. Then a little girl of eight or nine came over with a plate. There was also a little one crawling on the ground. It was unclear whether it was a boy or a girl...
And on the bed was the child she had held yesterday, who was now sleeping.
"These are all my children." The woman raised her tired eyes and looked at the little girl who was about eight or nine years old: "Do you like them, girl? If you like them, I can take them away with you. Just give me some travel expenses. She is not greedy and does not need to eat well. She can be filial to you when she grows up."
"I want one, just one is enough." Shen Yueying didn't like sensible children. She wanted a younger one so that she could tell him that he was her own child. Moreover, she knew that as the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, it was not appropriate for her to raise a girl. "I want a boy."
In this way, Shen Rongrong was hospitalized for three days.
She will be discharged from the hospital in three days. I discussed with Chen Yu to let Shen Yueying be discharged from the hospital as well and go home together. Anyway, her mental state has improved a lot. If things don't go well, the Gu family might think of her again one day and stimulate her again, causing her to have another attack and all the previous efforts would be wasted.
She even said to Chen Yu: "This way you don't have to run around with two wives anymore. Right?"
Chen Yu looked at the little girl who was swaddling the children one by one, and once again resisted the urge to spank her, but agreed to the request.
In times of turmoil, it's good to keep all the difficult-to-manage things under your nose...
But unexpectedly, he didn't see Shen Yueying when he went upstairs. Just as he was about to go out to look for her, he saw Shen Yueying coming back in a daze, holding a child.
"I... I have a child." Because this matter was too exciting, Shen Yueying trembled all over when she saw Chen Yu. Her mind seemed to have returned to the day when she stood on the rooftop in the snow. She said in confusion: "Our... uh... my own child..."
Chen Yu looked down at the child who came from nowhere, and subconsciously thought that she had gone mental again and went to the delivery room to steal someone else's child!
My wrist almost trembled, and just when I was about to ask her to return the child, I saw the "foster care certificate" in her other hand.
One can clearly see the words written crookedly with a grease pen on it: My name is Zhao Guifen, and the child is called Wang Sigou. Because I am going to another place, I will place him in the care of Shen Yueying, and in the future...
Chen Yu raised his eyes in surprise.
Seeing tears in Shen Yueying's eyes, she sobbed twice and choked up and said, "Chen Yu... I have a child. I finally... have a child. I... I bought a child..."
At this moment, Chen Yu, who had been in great confusion and contained the brain of the person in the book, seemed to have suddenly emerged with a soul that did not belong to him.
My eyes turned red because of this.
If the last sentence "I bought a child" hadn't been a bit of a letdown, he might have choked up.
But it's too late now.
In a blink of an eye, Shen Yueying was sent to the police station by her ex-husband in her previous life to investigate the child's origins.
Fortunately, this child was not given by human traffickers.
The child's mother was caught by the police on the spot before she could leave.
The police also confirmed after investigation that this was an annoying incident in which a drunk gangster caused a widow with three children to become pregnant.
The child's mother was powerless and had no place to complain. She hated this evil creature even more. In order to avoid harassment from gangsters, she planned to flee the city. She had no money, so she wanted to look for relatives in the army but couldn't find any. When she used the hospital toilet, she happened to see Shen Yueying stealing the child, so she did this.
Zhao Guifen felt that since Shen Yueying's husband was rich and infertile, and she was desperate to have a child, he would definitely be good to the child.
Even if she was really mentally ill and strangled the child to death, as a stepmother, it was unfortunate for Zhao Guifen to be pregnant with him. Finding a good family for him was already the most she could do. What happened next was his own fate.
Every family has its own problems, and even an honest judge finds it difficult to judge family disputes.
It was a case of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten. The child was not stolen or abducted. It was agreed to be in foster care. The police could not do anything about it. They just let them go after giving them a severe criticism and education.
The child's mother still looked half-dead. She walked out of the police station coldly and silently, put the child in Shen Yueying's arms, and turned away without saying a word.
"Hey!" Shen Yueying called her, "Don't you want to... look at him again?"
Zhao Guifen led the three children back and looked at Shen Yueying with disgust: "Your son, why should I look at him?"
She said that and left.
Shen Yueying looked at the child in her arms, then raised her eyes to look at the silent Chen Yu, and the suppressed emotions gradually dissipated.
A few seconds later, her eyes were filled with tears. She squatted on the side of the road, hugged her child tightly, and burst into tears.
