Chapter 71: Who Made Me an Honest Man 9

“The family members are waiting outside.”

Today was the 23rd, which happened to be the day when Dr. Qiu was on duty. When the ambulance took the person to the hospital, the other party was already waiting in the delivery room. A few nurses stopped Liang Guifen and others who wanted to follow in and then closed the door of the delivery room.

“Sister Fang, how could this happen?”

Liang Guifen sat on the chair, waiting for her family member outside the delivery room. She clasped her hands together with a complicated expression.

Just now, her son stopped her and Mrs. Fang and showed them a video. The scene of the video was at the entrance of the bathroom.

In the video, you could unquestionably see what happened at that time.

About shortly after Liang Guifen went out, Liang Zhizhi came out of her room. She went to the kitchen first, and when she came out again, she already had a glass of water in her hand, which was nothing. Maybe it was just that she was thirsty and poured out a glass of water. What was surprising was what happened later.

She splashed the water in the glass directly to the toilet door and then went back to the kitchen to put the glass back.

Everyone knew what happened afterward. Liang Zhizhi walked to that location and deliberately fell on the ground. This fall was real. Soon her lower body began to flow red, screamed.

Liang Guifen did not understand why her daughter-in-law would do this.

“I’m not bad to her. Is she fooling about the baby in her belly to frame me?”

She regarded her good sister as a bucket to pour out her grievances and complained to her for a while: “Listened to what she just said and blamed me for not mopping the ground. What does she want to do? Not satisfied with me, we could separate. She’s as good as she’s, insisting on pouring a bad thing on my head.”

Liang Guifen was anxious and angry. Liang Zhizhi’s original image in her heart was already wholly destroyed. Liang Zhizhi was currently a terrible woman who wanted to stir up the relationship between her and her son by any means.

“Mom, when the baby is born, I’m going to do a paternity test.”

Yan Chu was sitting in the chair opposite them, with his hands on his forehead. Even if they could not see his expression, they could know how depressed he was.

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

The old lady stamped her feet. Why did the paternity test get involved? At that time, she knew that she had roomed with him for the first time, but there was something about it.

“Guifen, I think what Chu’er said is right. Let’s do the paternity test. It’s not that I have a big mouth and a bad heart to instigate, but your daughter-in-law’s stomach isn’t like seven months term, more like it’s full-term.”

Mrs. Fang also struggled for a long time before opening her mouth. It was always hard to tell this from outsiders. But the video surveillance just now gave her too much shock. Now, she knew in her heart that she was not a serious girl, so she would not be as simple as her little sister, thinking that the other party was okay and using her belly to frame her for fun.

Perhaps Liang Zhizhi was trying to cover up something.

“If there’s nothing, it’s naturally the best. If Yan Chu is indeed green, he shouldn’t get taken advantage of.”

Mrs. Fang patted the back of Liang Guifen’s hand and sighed.

Truthfully, thinking about it now, there were indeed many doubts here.

Liang Zhizhi worked well in the big city. Why did she suddenly come back? She was in good condition. Why did she fall in love with Yan Chu, who had a little money, and got married quickly without getting along for a long time?

It was also to blame for her to cover up too well before getting married. She was a well-behaved little girl. Who would doubt her, including this time, if not the pinhole camera Yan Chu had installed to prevent thieves? Maybe all of them thought that indeed Liang Guifen did not clean the floor before she and her child fell.

According to Mrs. Fang’s understanding of the Yan family’s mother and son, perhaps they would die of guilt, and later she would climb on them, mother and son, to make a fortune.

After that, the three people fell into suspicious silence, and no one spoke anymore. Only the ticking clock’s sound and the footsteps of pedestrians, who occasionally passed the hospital, could be heard.

“Mother and son are safe.”

Not knowing how many hours later, before the delivery room’s entrance finally opened, Dr. Qiu, who was in charge of delivery, came out of it.

“The mother was suddenly frightened and stimulated contractions. Besides, this is premature birth. Both the mother and the child needed to get hospitalized for observation for a while. However, although the child is seven months premature, he’s in good health. I think it’s also because the nutrition received in the mother’s body is relatively sufficient. Luck in misfortune.”

Dr. Qiu, who was in her forties this year, was already a veteran in a small county. She delivered more than half of the newborns in the county.

The other person’s appearance was friendly, which made people feel good effortlessly.

“Doctor, are you sure it’s a premature baby more than seven months old?”

Yan Chu pretended to ask aimlessly. He anxiously visited the delivery room, looking worried about his wife and child. The sentence just now seemed to be what he said casually.

“Didn’t you check it before? However, the instrument isn’t absolute, and it’s possible to have a difference of ten days and a half months occasionally.”

Dr. Qiu did not say anything inflexible. She whispered a few words to the little nurse next to her and then reentered the delivery room because there were other patients and left through another passage.

After hearing the doctor’s words, Liang Guifen was much more relaxed. Listening to Dr. Qiu just now showed that there was no fraud in her daughter-in-law’s pregnancy, which was only ten days and a half-month gap. At that time, she knew that she had been on a blind date with her son. And both sides had the intention to continue, in all respects. If Liang Zhizhi’s stomach was pregnant at that time, there was no need for her to be with Yan Chu, plainly go straight to the child’s father.

Her temperament was somewhat misleading and muddleheaded. First, Liang Guifen was truly afraid that the child in Liang Zhizhi’s stomach was not her son, which means that Yan Chu had become a cuckold. Secondly, she was also worried that if it was her grandson, if one day her daughter-in-law and grandson knew that their grandmother and father once suspected his birth and made a paternity test for him, how sad the child would be.

Seeing Liang Guifen’s heart softened again, Mrs. Fang quickly pulled her sleeve to let her have a good look at her son. Her daughter-in-law could be so cruel that she deliberately fell into premature delivery by pouring water, and what else could not she do?

For Liang Guifen, no one was more important than her son. At this moment, looking at his son confused, haggard, and looked like a lost soul. Liang Guifen was brokenhearted. Where would she care about other things? Since he was not relieved and wanted to arrange the paternity, just do it.

Just like Sister Fang said, don’t raise a son for someone else at that time. It was indeed bad luck.

“Co-Mother, you’re too careless. Fortunately, Dr. Qiu has a high level of medical skills. Otherwise, if we don’t know it, she won’t be able to keep Chuanyu, that child.”

The Yan family had hidden things in their hearts. No one even thought of calling the Liang family. It was only when Liang Zhizhi was sent back to the delivery room after the baby was born.

The Liang family appeared more than two hours after the birth of Liang Zhizhi’s baby. When Liang Guifen went out to fetch water, Liang Zhizhi had already complained about the wicked person first, telling her drivel story all over with her family.

“What did I do? When she was pregnant, I was always there for her at her beck and call. Now, after giving birth to the baby, I still bring water and soup. Co-Mother, please tell me what else do I have to do?”

Liang Guifen was not positively a temperamental person either. She placed the kettle heavily on the small table next to the hospital bed, looked directly into Liang Zhizhi’s eyes, and asked.

“Well, you—”

Mother Liang was a little annoyed. When her daughter was pregnant, Mother-in-law Yan did a good job, and she did not care about the money at all. But now, because she did not mop the floor clean, which leads her daughter to slip into the hospital. How could the other party not admit it and still looked like the Liang family was letting down their Yan family? It was unreasonable.

However, Mother Liang also realized that her daughter was married to the Yan family, after all. Now her daughter and her grandson were safe and healthy. If she clung to this matter, she might only make Liang Guifen angry with her daughter. Unless she did not want to go on this day, it was unquestionably not the time to have an acrimonious falling-out with Liang Guifen.

Mother Liang held her breath and stopped talking. She sat in her chair and turned her head away from Liang Guifen to express her position.

“Mom, I was too flustered when at home just now. Now my child and I are fine. Don’t worry. I don’t blame you.”

Liang Zhizhi had already known that she had indeed given birth to a child. At this time, she was quite satisfied. However, she knew that she could not shed all pretense of courtesy with the Yan family’s mother and son if she had not contacted Zhang Xiuyuan and got a satisfactory reply from the other party.

Before she acted like that, in addition to wanting to increase the guilt of the Yan family’s mother and son, she also wanted to prepare for the subsequent escape. Therefore, at the moment when there were still two other recuperating women in the ward, she treated Liang Guifen with not to mention how outstanding her attitude was.

“It’s not my fault.”

Liang Guifen took a few deep breaths. Before, she did not think this daughter-in-law was so shameless. However, she remembered her son’s words and did not tell Liang Zhizhi that there were cameras at home. She took the apples brought by the Liang family and went outside to wash the fruit.

“What attitude is this!”

After Liang Guifen left, Mother Liang stood up from her chair and scolded, “Before, I thought your mother-in-law was a good person. I didn’t expect to be such an unreasonable person. You can tell your mother whether she treated you like that when she was at home.”

“Don’t ask, Mom. I’m fine now.”

Liang Zhizhi’s expression was a little dim. Several families in the next hospital bed looked at the family quietly, listened to the intermittent conversations just now, which made up an image of a poor daughter-in-law bullied by her mother-in-law.

Those all who laid on the bed were pregnant women, and the other two people felt a little sympathy for Liang Zhizhi’s appearance of aggrieved little daughter-in-law, who dared not say anything.

Liang Zhizhi stayed in the hospital for more than a week, and then she was brought back to Yan’s house with Yan Chu holding the baby.

Yan Chuanyu looked like his mother. After newborn skin peeling, the fat and milky ones were more charming. However, the young babies were devil incarnates. They were like angels when they did not cry and demons when they did. During the day, they spent a lot of time as demons.

After coming out of the hospital, Liang Zhizhi seemed to have forgotten that she had a premature delivery because Liang Guifen did not clean the floor. She was joyous and harmonious. Occasionally, she would say some nice words to make the old lady happy.

She could not help it. She got fed up with the son she gave birth to.

All the children were nocturnal wanderers. However, Liang Zhizhi paid great attention to health. Since she was pregnant, she had to sleep at 10 o’clock every day. She had to sleep until 10 a.m. to get up. Since she had a child, she had hardly slept well. Liang Zhizhi was so angry that she threw her child into the old lady’s room and refused to take the child to her room at night.

In Liang Zhizhi’s opinion, her son belonged to her anyway, and she still could not live without the Yan family for the time being. The old lady liked her grandson, let her hold her for a few more days. That was the heir to the future billionaire, let the country bumpkin old lady hug him, was to save her fortune and blessing, her small advantages.

“Yan Chu, why do you have such big dark circles?”

When Yan Chu came back to school, there was a group of aunts and uncles chatting downstairs. Seeing him passing by, people stopped him.

“Well, the baby’s always crying in the middle of the night. My mother and I don’t know what the baby’s crying about. We changed diapers and fed him, but nothing worked.”

Yan Chu had a good temper, and he was one of the few children in the community who was willing to chat with the elderly, and he had a good standing in the elderly’s heart.

“And your wife?”

Those elderly did not hear Yan Chu mention Liang Zhizhi and asked curiously. How could it be less of a mother to take care of children?

“She deemed the child’s noisy and wanted to have a beauty sleep. So now my mother and I are taking care of the child at night. I’m still young and take longer at night. During the day when I go to work, my mother takes longer.”

Yan Chu should be very tired and yawned when he spoke.

“Uncle, Auntie, the milk powder at home is almost used up. I’ll buy a new one. So I won’t talk to you more.” Yan Chu said to the elderly with two cans of milk powder and then went straight upstairs.

“I said why I haven’t seen Guifen go out for more than a month. Sister Fang helped her to buy groceries. It turned out that the daughter-in-law did nothing at home.”

A group of elderly gathered together, without any doubt about what Yan Chu had just said.

“I’d like to say for a long time that when Yan Chu’s wife had just come in. and still in her early pregnancy, she didn’t do housework. Guifen came to buy groceries and clean them. If she was working, it’s another matter. But she didn’t go to work either. She stayed at home every day, ordering packages one by one, never seen less. Where did the Yan family marry a daughter-in-law? He was completely married to an ancestor. Just now, Yan Chu’s chin already thinned out. He used to be chubby and attractive.”

All of them were seniors. Naturally, they looked at things from the perspective of the elders. Almost all of them were brought into the status of mother-in-law and father-in-law. They were very despised for Liang Zhizhi’s behavior and shook their head when he mentioned the other party.

With two cans of milk powder in his arms, Yan Chu went upstairs happily. The crucial moment was almost over. It was time to finish.

That night, when everyone was about to fall asleep, suddenly the siren came, and this sound seemed to be downstairs in their building.

Those who did not sleep all put on their clothes and went to the balcony and looked down. After a long time, they watched Yan Chu get taken out by several police officers, followed by a crying Liang Zhizhi.

Liang Guifen held the child and followed her. The street lights were dim, and they could not see the family’s expressions.

What was going on? Why did the police come?

The neighbors who made friends with the Yan family went downstairs one after another, surrounded the police cars, and took the people away with good manners. There must be an explanation.
