"Just tell the truth. The problem now lies with your family. Just tell me straight. Did you switch the child to the Su family because you wanted a son? Otherwise, how can you explain why your son looks so much like the Su family's youngest son?" Du's mother couldn't stand it any longer. "If you don't tell me, don't blame me for speaking harshly. How about we go to the health center to test their blood types? If they happen to have the same blood types, we can try other methods. We can always prove who's whose!"
Chen Yuqin burst into tears.
Su Erhe looked at her, feeling no emotion at all. She felt like she had separated herself into another person and watched the scene indifferently.
"So, just because I'm a girl, you switched me, right? Well, you're quite interesting then. Why are you being so nice to me now? Are you trying to compensate or make amends? Do you think this will work? Or do you think I'll just forgive you?"
"I,"
Looking at Su Erhe's mocking and indifferent eyes, Chen Yuqin's psychological defenses collapsed completely. She covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her fingers, her shoulders shaking constantly, and she couldn't stop crying, "It's my fault, it's all my fault..."
In a word...
Finally, the matter was put to a conclusion.
The whole room fell silent.
Aunt Nie slumped back onto the stool.
Mother Su looked at Nie Chuan, then at Su Erhe, and shouted, "You are committing a sin! You are really committing a sin! What should we do now? What do you say we should do?"
What an unexpected ending!
Su Erhe raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically, "So you admit that you switched me because I'm a girl and you wanted a boy? No, that's not right. If it was just the Nie and Su families' children who were swapped, then how could the Du family's child be involved? My blood type is different from that of the Du family couple, which means I'm not a child of the Du family. You switched the children of three families? Why?"
"Yes, that's a good question. Since you want a boy, you can just exchange him with the Su family. Why involve our family?" Du's mother was also angry. Her daughter had been raised in the countryside for eighteen years and had suffered great injustice.
If Chen Yuqin had changed it on purpose, she...
"It was me, and I changed it. I was worried that my daughter would suffer in the countryside, so,"
Before she could finish her words, Chen Yuqin let out a scream. Mother Du rushed over, grabbed her hair and started beating her, dragging her off the stool and onto the ground. "Are you sick? My daughter has provoked you, and she's so unlucky that you sent her to the countryside to live a hard life. You can't bear to see your daughter suffer, so you take her home and raise her yourself. Doesn't my daughter deserve it?"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and Du's mother started pulling and beating Chen Yuqin.
Aunt Nie looked stunned. She watched for a while, but finally couldn't bear it and pulled Du's mother away. However, she didn't know what to say. She stood aside, her chest heaving with anger.
Nie Chuan stood aside and said, "So, I should be a child of the Su family?"
He has enjoyed a comfortable life for eighteen years, and now he is told that everything belongs to others?
What is this?
"What do you want us to do now? What should we do?" Su's mother slammed the table in anger.
Su Erhe leaned against the wall all the time, watching everything indifferently.
Aunt Nie also looked at her, hesitant to speak, "Girl..."
Not knowing what else to do, Aunt Nie turned to look at her daughter-in-law, Chen Yuqin. "What have you done? You've messed up three families. We never said you had to give birth to a son. Daughters and sons are the same. Why are you doing this?"
Chen Yuqin's hair was disheveled, her face was covered with tears, and she fell to the ground.
"I don't know either. When I found out it was another daughter, I… my brain was like it was cramping. I already had two daughters and wanted a son. Coincidentally, the nurse at the health center was a student I taught, and I promised her she could be transferred to the county hospital, so we… I regretted it very quickly, but it's no use regretting it. Seeing you guys so happy, I didn't dare to tell the truth. I didn't dare anymore…"
The three children had already been replaced, and even if she regretted it quickly, it was too late. The next day, Du's mother took the children to transfer to another hospital.
There is no possibility of changing it back.
"Confused, you really are confused!"
No one spoke in the simple living room for a long time.
This truth is much more cruel and complicated than what the Su and Du families thought at the beginning, that they had adopted the wrong child.
Everyone has not digested this news for a while, and they don’t know how to sort out this tangled mess.
There was silence.
Su Erhe suddenly ran outside.
It's ridiculous. The Du family is not her home, and the Su family is not her home either.
Her home?
Does she still have a home?
"Erhe, where are you going?" Su's mother shouted subconsciously when she saw her walking out.
"Girl, come back with me." Aunt Nie said.
Su Erhe looked at the two of them, then at Chen Yuqin, who was slumped on the ground. "Thanks to you, now I see your own daughter homeless. Are you satisfied? Do you want a son? Then let Nie Chuan be your son. If you don't want me, I don't want you either."
Chen Yuqin's face was covered with tears. She looked up in shock and saw Suerhe walking out. She got up and tried to pull her out.
"It's my fault. Where are you going? It's too dangerous for a girl like you. You don't want to see me okay. Mother-in-law, grandma still likes you. You can't run away. Go live at grandma's house first."
Su Erhe turned around, his eyes fell on Chen Yuqin's hand that was grabbing his sleeve, and he raised the corner of his mouth and shook it off, "There's no need for you to pretend to be a good person."
"Su Erhe, I'm back——"
A loud voice from outside interrupted Su Erhe's words. He Zheng came back humming a little tune, carrying a hoe. He was in a good mood. Ever since they decided on the date of their wedding, he had been in a good mood. Until he stepped into the gate of the Su family and saw a room full of people, he stopped in his tracks.
"So many guests at home?"
There were people in the room, some looked up at him, some lowered their heads, with different expressions, but none of them looked smiling.
Su Erhe's face was even colder.
Mother Su explained, "He Zheng, there's something... I don't know how to put it this way... Let me put it this way, Erhe isn't our daughter, she's from the Nie family, and back then..." Glancing at Chen Yuqin, Mother Su was merciful, "It was a mistake back then."
He Zheng blinked, "Aunt, let me sort it out. Isn't Su Erhe your daughter? Is she from the Nie family? Then which daughter is yours?"
Mother Su glanced at Nie Chuan. She really didn't know how to solve these problems for the time being. She sighed and said, "We don't have any daughters, but three sons."
He Zheng: “!!!”
"If your family has three sons, then the marriage between our two families... no, then do I still have a wife?"
