Zeng Xuyang took out a piece of paper from his briefcase and showed it to the people around him. Then he fixed his gaze on Qian Erni, who had already collapsed on the ground.
He said in a cold tone: "Qian Erni, this is the testimony of Jia Junhua, a villager from Tongjiatun.
Due to the inconvenience caused by the stroke, we found her in the family compound of the fertilizer factory.
She can testify that your son was born with a sheep-shaped birthmark on his lower back. What else do you have to say?"
Qian Erni knelt down in front of Liu Juan, clutching the corner of her clothes tightly with both hands. Tears welled up in her eyes like they were free. "Juanzi, for the sake of your deceased aunt, can you please ask the police to spare me this time?"
Her voice was filled with tears and trembling as she said, "I was also bewildered by the devil, which is why I did such a foolish thing.
I'll return all your money to you, as if I'd raised your child for ten years for nothing...!"
"Pa pa pa..." Qian Erni's words were interrupted by more than a dozen slaps.
Liu Juan angrily slapped Qian Erni more than ten times. Each slap made Qian Erni dizzy and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Seeing this, the fake Zimo next to him picked up the shovel on the ground and rushed over with an angry look on his face. He shouted loudly: "Idiot, bastard, I'll let you beat my mother!"
As he said that, he swung the shovel towards Liu Juan. Chu Jingqiu quickly pulled Liu Juan away.
Fake Zimo lost control and hit Qian Erni on the head with the shovel.
"Ah--" Qian Erni let out a scream and collapsed to the ground with her hands covering her head. Blood seeped out from between her fingers. She groaned in pain and her face was as pale as paper.
"Bang!" The shovel in Fake Zimo's hand fell to the ground. He stood there stupidly, looking at Qian Erni on the ground with horror.
Tian Mingfang walked over to check Qian Erni's wound and said expressionlessly, "It's nothing serious, just a superficial wound. It won't kill you. Just grab some dirt from the wall and sprinkle it on it to stop the bleeding!"
Tong Xianjun said dissatisfiedly, "Tian Zhiqing, you are just fooling around! With such a big wound, if you throw some dirty soil on it, aren't you afraid that it will cost our Erni her life?"
Tian Mingfang said jokingly: "Tong Xianjun, this method was taught to me by Qian Erni! But I didn't dare to use it. Wasn't that what your Erni said when Xiaokui's head was bleeding last time?
What's the matter? Xiao Kui can be used, but your Er Ni can't. Your Er Ni's life is life, but Xiao Kui's life is not life?"
Tong Xianjun was speechless after hearing what Tian Mingfang said. He recalled that when Xiao Kui was injured last time, Qian Erni did use mud to stop his bleeding.
At that time, he felt that this method was somewhat inappropriate, but in order to save money, he did not come out to stop it.
Now it was her family's turn to be injured, and Tian Mingfang used her own method to deal with her, which directly choked Tong Xianjun speechless.
Qian Erni was afraid that Tian Mingfang would sprinkle dirt on her forehead, so she quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't sprinkle dirt on her forehead. You absolutely can't sprinkle dirt on her forehead. If the wound gets infected, it could kill me."
As soon as this was said, the villagers nearby burst into laughter and started teasing Qian Erni. Some laughed at her for having it all to themselves, while others laughed at her for getting what she deserved.
Although Tian Mingfang said this, she turned around and told Zeng Xuyang, "The wound is quite large and needs to be sutured. The village clinic can't handle it. Just bandage it first and then go to the health center for two stitches."
The police took Qian Erni to treat her wounds, and then took the couple directly to the police station for interrogation.
During the interrogation, it was learned that when Zimo was first brought to Qian Erni's home, Qian Erni had no intention of abusing him. She just let her own child eat first and then fed Zimo when she first started breastfeeding.
The Li family was afraid that the child would not have enough to eat, so they asked Qian Erni to sell the milk coupons they sent to them for money. When Zimo cried loudly because of hunger, she gritted her teeth and fed him some porridge.
Later, the gap between the two children became bigger and bigger. Zimo looked thin and small, and his ribs were clearly visible.
Principal Li's students often came to visit the children. Qian Erni was worried that they would find out something was wrong, so she came up with a plan to change the two children's names.
That way, when students came to visit, she could let them see her son without revealing herself and at the same time get more money from the Li family.
As time went by, Qian Erni became more and more courageous. She thought that since the Li family had no hope on the farm, she would just use Zimo as a long-term worker.
But what she never expected was that ten years later, the Li family was rehabilitated and was about to take Zimo back to Beijing.
Qian Er Nicole panicked at this moment. Zimo was so thin and small, with many wounds on his body, which were obviously caused by long-term abuse.
She was afraid that the Li family would come after her, but she also wanted her son to enjoy wealth and glory, so she let her son continue to replace Zimo and go to the Li family to enjoy the good life.
Once the case was concluded, Qian Erni and Tong Xianjun were sentenced for abuse and fraud and sent to prison. The law gave them the punishment they deserved and also brought justice to Zimo.
They returned all the money they had previously received from the Li family and gave Zimo a certain amount of financial compensation. Although this money and compensation could not completely make up for Zimo's past suffering, it was at least a kind of comfort and compensation for him.
Qian Erni's three children were sent to her brother's home for foster care, and from then on they lived a hard life living under someone else's roof. Although their lives were not as miserable as Zimo's, it was definitely not as free and easy as living with their own parents.
The Li family finally took Xiao Kui, the real Zimo, back home.
Liu Juan felt heartbroken when she saw the suffering the child had endured in the past. She didn't want her child to be called Zimo anymore. Qian Erni's son had called him that for so many years, and she felt sick just thinking about it.
So, Principal Li changed the child's name to Li Qihang, which means starting over and symbolizes a new beginning and hope.
Little Qihang is very sensible. He understands that he has finally returned to his real home, and his heart is filled with gratitude and joy.
Every morning, he gets up early to clean, cook, and even do the laundry. His thoughtfulness and diligence make Liu Juan so distressed that she cries.
After more than a month of recuperation and the love of his family, Xiao Qihang gradually integrated into the family and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
What surprised the Li family even more was that Qihang, who had only been in school for three years, actually ranked first in the entire grade in his first exam after entering the fifth grade.
On this day, the Li family specially prepared a famous calligraphy and painting, several bottles of Moutai liquor, and clothes and toys for the children, and sent them directly to the compound to thank Chu Jingqiu for his help.
Chu Jingqiu knew the value of this famous calligraphy and painting in future generations and had no intention of accepting it, but he really couldn't refuse the sincerity and enthusiasm of the Li family.
She also valued the sincerity and kindness of the Li family. She felt very sympathetic towards Xiao Qihang's situation and took out some precious medicinal powder from her own space and gave it to Xiao Qihang.
She hopes that these medicinal powders can help Xiao Qihang regulate his body and quickly repair the body functions that have been damaged by the abuse he has suffered over the years.
She didn't want the child to suffer any sequelae from past hardships and hoped that he could have a healthy and happy future.
