Wang Rongrong slammed the door shut, walked over to her husband, cupped his face in her hands, wiped away his tears, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Tell me what's wrong, and we'll solve it together."
Seeing the worry in his wife's eyes, Qian Mingda hugged her tightly and told her about it in a trembling voice.
Wang Rongrong was furious when she heard this. She and Mingda were high school classmates and sat at desks next to each other. Qian Mingda had excellent grades. Whenever she encountered problems in her studies, she would ask Qian Mingda for help. She found that he was very easy to talk to. Whenever she encountered a difficult problem, she would ask him for help, and the two became friends.
She also gradually noticed that Qian Mingda was not getting enough to eat. He ate two steamed buns every day with pickled vegetables from home. Sometimes, when the school cafeteria was about to close, he would go to the cafeteria to wash dishes and exchange them for leftovers. Although his clothes were very clean, they were covered with patches. He was sallow and thin, and looked like he would fall over in the wind.
She was always worried that he would faint, so she gave him some food under the pretext of tutoring. Qian Mingda tutored her even more diligently, and managed to turn her from the bottom of the class into one of the top ten.
She also unknowingly fell in love with Qian Mingda and learned about the Qian family's affairs. Countless times she cursed Qian's mother behind her back, saying she was a heartless person who didn't know how to cherish such a good son.
Under her relentless pursuit, Qian Mingda became her boyfriend. Whenever Qian Mingda was sad and in pain because of the various unfair treatments he received from his mother, she would step forward and brainwash him.
Over time, Qian Mingda grew cold towards her mother. In addition, her mother treated her very well and cared for her, and her father even found her a job in a machinery factory. With this combination of measures, Qian Mingda was drawn to her side, and the two agreed to live a good life together from now on.
She was very satisfied with her married life. Qian Mingda treated her very well, doted on her, took the initiative to do housework, and treated her parents very well, often visiting them to help with chores.
The only thing he was dissatisfied with was that Qian Mingda could never bring himself to be ruthless towards his mother.
Now that Qian's mother really isn't her husband's biological mother, it's wonderful! She wants to burst out laughing now.
No, she had to hold back.
However, seeing the man with red and swollen eyes and a pained expression, Qian's mother became even angrier at his behavior. She was not even human, but worse than an animal.
Even animals wouldn't do something like that.
Calling her a beast is an insult to beasts.
To switch children so that one's own son can have a better life is utterly heartless. While one's own son enjoys a life of luxury in another's home, one abuses the other's son.
What a vicious old woman! No one even burns paper money for her after she dies.
She patted her man's back and said softly, "Let's investigate first. If it's true, we'll talk to your biological parents about how to resolve this."
According to the letter, her husband's biological parents loved their child very much.
After recovering, Qian Mingda felt a little embarrassed. He hugged his wife tightly and said in a trembling voice, "I'll listen to you."
The two began to discuss what to do next. Wang Rongrong's brow remained furrowed, worried that her husband wouldn't be able to bring himself to do it.

Qin family.
After delivering the letter, Yunling kept asking about the follow-up of the gossip system.
The system told her that Qian Mingda was crying terribly, and she started cursing along with him.
That's absolutely despicable; they don't even deserve to be called human.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and waited to see what would happen to Aunt Qian.
Upon entering the courtyard, I saw Qin Chuan making boxes under the shade of a tree. I moved closer to him and watched intently.
She praised, "You're really amazing; you can even make boxes."
Qin Chuan laughed and said, "No problem at all. Is there anything else you want?"
Yunling thought for a moment and said, "No, for the time being."
She doesn't have much stuff right now, so it's perfectly spacious.
Qin Chuan nodded: "Alright! Just tell me what you want, and I'll always find the time to make it."
Yunling smiled and said, "Okay."
She discovered another advantage of Qin Chuan: his hands were exceptionally beautiful. When he made furniture, they were incredibly strong, with clearly defined knuckles and long fingers.
After a while, Qin Chuan noticed that she hadn't left yet. He looked up at her, and their eyes met. He looked away uncomfortably and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Yunling stood up and said, "That's all. I'll go chat with Tiantian then."
Qin Chuan waved his hand: "Go!"
Yunling turned around and walked towards Qin Tiantian's room. When she looked up, she saw two little heads perched on the window.
"What are you looking at?"
Qin Tiantian chuckled, pulled Qin Rui outside, and said, "I didn't see anything."
He glanced at Yunling again and chuckled.
It's really incomprehensible.
"When are we going to cook?" Yunling asked.
Qin Tiantian glanced at the sky and said, "It's still early, Third Sister-in-law, are you hungry?"
"No, I was just asking," Yunling said.
Qin Tiantian's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "Third Sister-in-law, let's go to the mountain to pick wild fruits, and we can cook when we get back."
In the sweltering summer, I start work at 3:30 PM and finish at 7:30 PM. It's probably around 5:30 PM now.
Yunling asked curiously, "What wild fruits grow on the mountain?"
Qin Tiantian: "I know a place where there are sour jujubes. They're crisp, sour, and sweet. Third Sister-in-law, do you want to go?"
Yunling nodded decisively. For her, who hadn't lived in the mountains for a long time, everything was new and interesting.
"Auntie, I want to go too!" Qin Rui said in a childish voice, hugging Qin Tiantian's leg.
Qin Tiantian pulled him down, pressed down on his small shoulders, and said firmly, "You and your third uncle stay at home. Your third aunt and I will go and see if there are any left. If they've all been picked, we'll definitely bring some back for you."
Qin Rui pouted, unhappy, and turned to look at her third aunt.
Yunling pinched his cheek and said with a smile, "I'll listen to your aunt."
Finally, the two of them left the dejected Qin Rui behind, picked up a basket, and headed up the mountain.
Qin Tiantian excitedly explained to Yunling everything they encountered along the way: wild vegetables they could dig up, trees that grew wild fruits, and led her through left and right turns. They even picked a lily with three flowers blooming on the road.
Yunling took a sniff; the floral fragrance was fresh, delicate, and refreshing.
She said happily, "I'll go home, find a bottle, put it in, and it can keep alive for several days."
Qin Tiantian said that if she could cook this flower into porridge, it would taste delicious, and she would swallow it.
