Fake Zimo's words just now were a bit unclear, and Qian Erni still had a lucky glimmer of hope, thinking that her son had been caught stealing money.
Now Principal Li’s words made it very clear that the Li family already knew that she had swapped the child.
Qian Erni's expression suddenly became flustered, and she didn't even realize that the teacup was already full of water.
It was not until the boiling water flowed onto her feet that she screamed and shook her feet vigorously that she gradually calmed down.
She calmed herself down and pretended to be calm, saying, "Uncle, what are you talking about? You're talking nonsense in broad daylight.
How come I didn't know I was so capable! When you sent Zimo here, your family was sent down to the countryside.
Could it be that I am the ingenious Zhuge Liang who could predict that your family would be rehabilitated ten years from now?
I want to exchange your child with my child. What do I want to gain?
I worked so hard to help you raise your child, but in the end, I've become completely heartless. Is this fair?"
After saying that, he pushed Zimo to the front and then glanced at the crowd of onlookers.
He said loudly: "Fellow villagers, please bear witness for me. You have watched these two children grow up. Has he always been called Zimo?"
Seeing this, the villagers began to talk about it.
"This child has indeed been called Zimo since childhood. Even though he is not her biological child, Erni treats him very well."
"His name is indeed Zimo. Xiaokui is her biological son. She has always said so. There is no mistake!"
"I wonder why the people in this city are so heartless. When you were in the most difficult time, Erni didn't despise you.
I worked so hard to raise my child for you, but all I've done is create hatred between us."
As the vice president of a university, Principal Li had seen all sorts of scenes. He looked around and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, we are not ungrateful.
We were wrongly sent down to the countryside and had no choice but to send our child here for foster care. We gave her one thousand yuan and some tickets at the time.
Later, we gave her about one thousand yuan in installments, as well as some tickets. After she was rehabilitated, we gave her another one thousand yuan.
I didn’t expect Qian Erni to be so heartless that she changed the names of her two children when they were young and abused our children every day.
Think about it carefully, what kind of life did Xiao Kui live in his home? If this was her own child, would she be willing to abuse this child like this? "
Some villagers exclaimed, "Erni, did the Li family give you so much money? Didn't you say you were kind enough to help raise their child for free out of pity?"
"That's right! I was wondering why Erni's family is so rich! They bought a bicycle and a radio. I guess the money was given by the Li family!"
"Xiao Kui is such a pitiful child. In the middle of winter, he was still wearing only a pair of pants.
My face was blue from the cold, my hands and feet were covered with chilblains, and I was standing there shivering.
I felt sorry for the child, so I gave him a pair of old cotton pants from my second child, and he stopped shaking.
Xiao Kui is definitely not Qian Erni's biological child. It's really heartless."
When Qian Erni saw everyone turning around and condemning her, she rolled her eyes and sat down on the ground and started crying.
"My kindness has gone unrewarded! Their whole family has been labeled capitalist-roaders, so how could they have any money to give us?
The two children are about the same age, and there is only one strong laborer in the family, Xianjun. How can I support two children relying solely on work points?
I would rather treat my own child badly than let Zimo eat well, dress warmly, and go to school.
In the end, they even suspected that I had swapped the baby. Can't they recognize their own child?
What a sin I have committed! If I had known this, I should not have taken in their child in the first place."
At this time, Section Chief Zhu from the Public Security Bureau stood up and shouted, "Qian Erni, stand up and speak. Your son has confessed everything.
You deliberately replaced the Li family's child with your own son, and instigated your son to steal the Li family's property and give it to you.
We have thoroughly investigated all of this, and there is no room for you to deny or quibble."
Qian Erni stood up from the ground in an instant, acting like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
He loudly retorted to the police: "Bullshit! I'm telling you, I've spoiled this kid. He's deliberately making up lies just to come back to the village and live with me!"
When she said this, her eyes suddenly turned red, as if she was about to squeeze out a few tears, "When the Li family took him away, he was reluctant to leave. It seems that the Li family must have abused him, so he said this.
You're really something! You take Zimo, such a young kid, so seriously? What? Just because they're rich and powerful, you protect yourselves and bully us poor people?
Where is the evidence? What evidence do you have to prove that I stole the children of the two families? If you don’t produce evidence today, I will report you to the higher authorities!”
Section Chief Zhu sneered, "Qian Erni, our portrait experts have already drawn a portrait of the Li family child as he grows up based on his childhood photos. This child is Xiao Kui.
Let me remind you, our expert has made zero mistakes and has helped us solve many difficult cases.
Moreover, your biological son has a brown birthmark on his back, but the Li family's child does not have that birthmark on his back. We have investigated this carefully.
Do you think we will come after you without evidence? Wrong, we have far more evidence than you think. "
Qian Erni's face turned pale instantly, but she still argued stubbornly: "What can a portrait or a birthmark prove? When Zimo was brought to me, there was no birthmark on his back. This birthmark grew on him later.
He was only one month old when I brought him here, and he's changed a lot in the past ten years! Don't make false accusations against him!
Chu Jingqiu, Zeng Xuyang and their group walked in from the gate with Xiao Kui. Zeng Xuyang gave Qian Erni a cold look and said, "We will convince you wholeheartedly. Qian Erni, look who this is?"
When Qian Erni looked up and saw the person coming, her arrogance disappeared without a trace, replaced by fear and uneasiness.
She spoke incoherently, "Tian...Tian Zhiqing, you...didn't you go back to the city? Why are you here?"
Tian Zhiqing smiled, a hint of coldness in her smile. "Qian Erni, what's wrong with you? You look like a bereaved family member when you see me."
The educated youth named Tian Mingfang was sent to work in the countryside here and was a barefoot doctor in Tongjiatun.
When Qian Erni gave birth, it was she who delivered the baby for her. She snorted coldly and continued, "Qian Erni, Aunt Junhua and I delivered the baby for you back then. You shouldn't have forgotten this, right?
I remember when your son was born, he had a lamb-shaped birthmark on his lower back.
Aunt Guiying even joked with you, "This year is the Year of the Sheep. This child was born with a lamb-shaped birthmark. He must be a blessed child."
I was wondering if your two children are really strange. They never go to our brigade to see a doctor, but always go to the health center. I thought you valued your sons so much, but it turns out they did something wrong.
