Chapter 144 Unable to catch a glimpse of her
Su Yuanzheng personally carried Yi Xia to her.
As if he had practiced beforehand, his movements as he held the child were exceptionally skillful.
Xia Yutong was exhausted and just wanted to sleep. She was really, really hungry, and only falling asleep would alleviate her hunger. Once she was asleep, she wouldn't feel hungry anymore.
“Look, our child, Tongtong, our daughter Yixia.”
The child's skin was soft and pink, and he was smacking his little lips, being well-behaved and quiet.
Xia Yutong glanced at it and quickly fell asleep.
Su Qinglian said, "When did you learn to hold a baby like that? You seem quite skilled at it."
"We practiced beforehand."
Su Yuanzheng smiled without saying a word, his gaze falling on Xia Yutong. He held the child and took her little hand in his arms. "Tongtong, our daughter Yixia is Yixia..."
Luo Caixia said, "Alright, everyone, please stop talking. She must be tired after giving birth, so don't disturb her, especially you—Yuanzheng."
Su Yuanzheng nodded, "Okay, I won't say anything more."
"A baby weighing seven and a half pounds, that's really not easy."
As if hearing this, the round and chubby Yi Xia suddenly burst into tears in Su Yuanzheng's arms.
"Okay, I wasn't saying you're fat, Yixia. I wasn't talking about you. That's not what I meant."
"That's not what Grandma meant, sweetie, that's definitely not what she meant."
Su Jianguo smiled and said, "Alright, you all go and rest. Let me hold the child."
Su Qinglian stepped forward and took the child from Su Yuanzheng's arms. "Dad, we're not tired. If you're tired, go to sleep."
"That won't do, Xiao Yixia, let Grandpa hold you."
"Oh dear, your hands are calloused. The child's skin is so delicate. What are you doing!" Luo Caixia said with a look of disgust, slapping Su Jianguo's hand away.
I had a C-section as soon as I arrived at the hospital, so the delivery was relatively quick, and I didn't suffer the torment of natural childbirth.
Meanwhile, Chen Xinya, who pushed Xia Yutong down, went to the police station. Once inside, she realized she was scared and said she knew she was wrong and would never do it again.
Village Chief Wei comforted Butcher Chen, who kept crying... hoping everyone could forgive his daughter.
“Xinya just lost her baby. She was perfectly fine, but the pregnancy suddenly stopped. She was in pain, she was heartbroken.”
Village Chief Wei said, "Even if you're feeling unwell, you can't mess with someone else's child... She was about to give birth, thankfully nothing serious happened."
"Over there, how's it over there...?"
"She gave birth to a girl and is currently doing well, but Xin Ya's behavior—arson and pushing a pregnant woman—is despicable."
The rose garden is actually under surveillance, but Su Yuanzheng has kept it a secret. Only he can see the contents recorded by the hidden cameras.
Xia Yutong's little wooden cabin had long been equipped with security cameras to protect her handicrafts and prevent thieves from targeting them.
Chen Xinya thought she could get away unscathed, or at least take someone down with her. But her plan backfired, harming both herself and others.
Butcher Chen wanted to say something more, "Village Chief, Xin Ya is someone you've watched grow up."
"You're still young. You can spend a few years in jail and learn a lesson."
Butcher Chen's heart was bleeding. This time, Zhou Erniang didn't speak up for Chen Xinya either. "Old Chen, if you don't let her go in for a few years now, are you going to wait until she causes even bigger trouble before she goes in? Then it won't be as simple as just a few years."
“Setting fire, burning the land, so much hard work of so many people. These days, Yuanzheng and the villagers have been helping with it, eager to make a fortune. They just sold this year’s flowers and were looking forward to next year, and then this huge area was burned down.”
"I'll pay the money, I'll pay!"
No parent would not side with their daughter, and Butcher Chen was especially heartbroken for his girl. He explained, "Village chief, I didn't make a fuss about Xinya losing her child because I was afraid people would look down on her. I didn't want bad things to spread. Xinya wasn't a bad person by nature."
Village Chief Wei said, "Reform through labor is only sent to labor camps because people are not inherently bad. Those who are utterly wicked are shot on the spot and don't even have the chance to reform through labor. Only those who are not inherently bad and still have some conscience can be reformed through labor!"
"village head!"
"Old Chen, we've all done our best for your precious daughter. You can't just blindly protect her. This is for her own good. Are you going to let her run around and cause trouble everywhere?"
"You won't even be able to catch her then..."
Through a pane of glass, Butcher Chen watched his daughter being interrogated.
Tears welled in his eyes, his heart aching. Chen Xinya looked at the police nervously; the evidence was irrefutable, and she had no way to deny it.
That damned Su Yuanzheng! He didn't even show up, but he already sent the evidence. And she only just found out that the merchant's side was actually so powerful, on par with the Zhou family.
The company owns most of the assets in that area, and to investigate, the company's legal team has come today.
Compared to Zhou Jin's previous low-EQ outburst, this time she's gone much further...
Chen Xinya thought that if she could have Xia Yutong's child die with her, her life would be over, but...
She suddenly saw Su Jianguo appear outside.
Butcher Chen turned around, "Old Su..."
"Old Chen."
"I'm sorry, Lao Su!"
Butcher Chen was about to kneel down to Su Jianguo when Su Jianguo said, "Just do what needs to be done, Old Chen. Don't make things difficult for me, and I won't make things difficult for you either."
Butcher Chen's eyes welled up with tears, "Could you..."
"No, if you can't teach Xinya well, the country will naturally help you teach her."
Chen Xinya had no idea what to do. Suddenly, she stood up and, through the glass, cried out, "Dad! Dad!"
She pounded on the glass, and Butcher Chen's body trembled. "Xinya, Daddy's useless, Daddy's useless..."
As soon as he said this, Butcher Chen fainted.
He fell to the ground with a thud.
"Old Chen..."
"Old Chen, Old Chen!"
"Get him to the hospital quickly!"
Through the glass, the police officer behind Chen Xinya said, "Quiet, Chen Xinya, please be quiet!"
"Dad, Dad, don't faint! Save me first! Dad, Dad, I'm your daughter! You can't abandon me..."
"Don't faint, Dad, wake up."
Chen Xinya cried out in despair, "At least save me! Save me first before you faint! Dad, Dad, save me! Don't faint now!"
"Don't pull me, don't pull me..."
Chen Xinya struggled, "Dad, save me..."
"That girl has no conscience."
Zhou Erniang frowned. "If they're released, it'll be terrible. They'll still have to go to a labor camp!"
"The labor camp is for people who have a little conscience, but not many. If they really cared so much about their father, Butcher Chen, they wouldn't have caused all this trouble."
Su Jianguo didn't speak, but Village Chief Wei said, "Old Su, congratulations."
Su Jianguo smiled and said, "I'm here today for no other purpose than to clarify things."
As he spoke, Su Jianguo said to Village Chief Wei, "Village Chief, let's take him to the hospital. Old Chen is pitiful too."
