Chapter 2537: Chapter 2473: Took Someone Else’s Child
When the child was two or three months old, because she didn’t take proper care, the child got sick, very seriously sick, and the village doctor, even Chiang Songhai himself, couldn’t cure the child.
That day, Chen Zhu looked at the child who was crying into unconsciousness, and she was just unbearably annoyed, so she ignored her and turned over to sleep.
When she woke up and saw, the child’s small face was ashen, and she wasn’t breathing, she was gone.
Chen Zhu cried for a while, and then, driven by evil thoughts, decided to quickly bury her.
At that time, Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were both out borrowing money, saying they needed to borrow money to take the child to the town hospital for treatment.
Chen Zhu was the only one left at home.
So she immediately took the child out.
As a result, at the foot of Bai Gu Mountain, she saw a woman lying on the grass, holding a child in her arms, and coincidentally, that child was also a baby girl.
The woman was unconscious, and the child was possibly hungry, crying all the time.
Hearing that child cry, Chen Zhu’s heart wavered again.
What if when I go back, everyone says I killed the child?
Will they say it’s absolutely because the child’s father is a no-good nobody, causing her to lose heart, so she killed the child?
That being the case, all the explaining she did before, saying the child’s father was a very handsome man, no one would believe anymore.
She couldn’t do without this child.
As Chen Zhu thought about this, and upon seeing that the child in the woman’s arms looked extremely adorable, fair-skinned, with big eyes, surprisingly having a slight resemblance to that boy in the mountain cave, her mind grew hot, so she swapped the swaddling blankets of the two children, buried her own child, and took the woman’s child home.
Because she was afraid later on that Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao would recognize the child, when Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao borrowed money to take them to the town hospital, Chen Zhu did not refuse, and held the child tightly the whole time, not letting Ge Liutao take over.
Then she used all sorts of reasons, and stayed in the hospital with the child for a full half month by herself, not minding that Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao had accumulated a huge debt.
After going home half a month later, Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao indeed noticed the child had changed, but during that time, Chiang Songhai was going up the mountains daily to dig and sell herbs to pay off the debt, and Ge Liutao was so busy taking care of their daily meals and living affairs, along with the Old Chiang Family people causing trouble now and then, they were all exhausted, so they were just brushed off by Chen Zhu’s words that "the child grows up and naturally looks different."
In the countryside, there’s also such a saying that within the first year, children can change completely every ten days or half a month.
They didn’t suspect anything, but Chen Zhu was increasingly reluctant to face this child herself.
After all, she wasn’t her daughter.
Moreover, she gradually discovered that this child indeed resembled that youngster in the cave more and more, fearing that woman was truly his wife, originally looking for him.
If they truly found out, she feared they wouldn’t forgive her.
Coupled with the fact she truly couldn’t stay in the village any longer, these several reasons together made Chen Zhu decide to leave home.
"What about that woman?" Chiang Xiaoqiao trembled all over with anger.
So, it wasn’t that her biological mother wanted to abandon her.
It was that she passed out back then and was taken away by Chen Zhu with the child.
She couldn’t even imagine how her biological mother must have broken down upon waking up and finding the child gone.
Chen Zhu shrank a bit, "How would I know?"
