Chapter 169 The Toughest Thing Is a Dead Duck
This is a big matter; she'll probably need some time to think it over.
She just gave birth, which is already very difficult for her.
Just as Fu Leyi was sobbing uncontrollably, a fight was taking place upstairs.
The two families eventually started fighting.
Wang and Zhang Fangfang started hurling insults at each other, and then began to pull each other's clothes.
It took several nurses to finally separate them.
The two separated, but their language remained foul.
"What did I say wrong? What else could I do but have the worst luck to have a relative like you? Humph, when you came to my house, I slaughtered chickens and fish to entertain you, afraid that I hadn't treated you well enough."
"And you, on the other hand, when I come to your house, you treat me like dirt, refusing to even come out for dinner, practically ready to kick us out. You live in a big villa, while you've crammed the four of us into a tiny one-bedroom apartment. Is this how you treat your guests?"
"Pah! Are you a guest? You're a child thief, a thief!"
Zhang Fangfang became somewhat frantic, trying to snatch the child, shouting, "Give me the child, give me the child..."
Wang refused to give it to him, stubbornly blocking his way.
"Why should I? Just because you say it's yours doesn't mean it's yours. I could say that the big fat kid next door is my grandson, and do you think he'd give it to me?"
The woman in the next bed instinctively hugged her son tightly.
"Fine, fine, you're still being stubborn, aren't you?" Zhang Fangfang grabbed Pan Hong and pulled him out. "Pan Hong, tell your mother, is this child your daughter?"
Pan Hong still had a handprint on his face, and he lowered his head, not daring to look Wang Shi in the eye.
Yes, this is my daughter.
What?
That brat confessed?
Wang said angrily, "Pan Hong, you traitor, you'd better think this through before you speak."
Pan Hong thought to himself, how could he not think clearly? The evidence was conclusive, leaving him no room to deny it.
"Mother, they all know. Please switch the child back."
Change it back?
Wang was so anxious that she stomped her feet, but she still stubbornly refused to admit it.
"What do you mean by 'switch back'? I don't understand."
Seeing that the old woman was being stubborn, Zhang Fangfang sneered, "Pan Hong, tell me how you switched this child."
Under pressure, Pan Hong began to speak haltingly.
He had barely opened his mouth when Wang interrupted him.
"Zhang Fangfang, stop making baseless accusations. You say you switched the children, do you have any evidence?"
Do you need evidence?
Yi Yunshuo, who was carrying a radio, immediately played the third cassette tape.
The scene of Wang and Pan Hong exchanging children seems to be right before my eyes.
Wang's eyes widened in astonishment.
Although she hadn't seen much high technology, she knew what a radio was.
The village chief's family has one, and he starts playing music as soon as it gets light every day.
But... how was her voice recorded?
"This this……"
Zhang Fangfang said coldly, "What else do you have to say?"
"I...it's not me. The person inside isn't me. I'm perfectly fine here, how did I end up inside the radio?"
"Fine, you still won't admit it, huh?"
Zhang Fangfang clapped her hands, and a little nurse was brought in shortly afterward.
It was the one who took a thousand yuan from Pan Hong and promised to help hide the child's gender.
She stammered that Pan Hong had given her money to change the gender on the child's birth certificate to a boy.
She didn't actually know what they were doing; she just assumed that the family favored boys over girls and was going to steal children from outside.
I never imagined that there would be people who would willingly switch their sons for daughters these days.
It's usually families with daughters who swap children; this is the first time they've ever seen a family with sons swap children.
At this point, the doctor who performed the surgery on Huang Chun was also called back.
He had performed several surgeries in a row and was supposed to be off work and resting at home, but he was called in to testify.
"Huang Chun? It was indeed a son. The baby was premature, weighing only 5.4 pounds, which is below the standard. He's smaller than a full-term baby, so you can tell at a glance."
The child was still in Fu Huaiyi's arms.
The doctor recognized it immediately.
"Yes, this is the child. What? You're complaining because he/she was premature? Wasn't it you who requested a premature birth?"
The doctor who performed the surgery on Huang Chun was furious.
Because in his many years of medical practice, this was the first time he had encountered a case where the mother and her family requested an early cesarean section before the due date.
Wang was speechless; this time, she didn't even know how to begin her defense.
Zhang Fangfang said, "Hmph, they don't dislike the baby being premature. They just want the baby to be born sooner so they can swap with my granddaughter and come to my house to enjoy a life of luxury."
Zhang Fangfang gave a brief introduction to the two companies.
Her grandfather was a veteran who fought against the Japanese.
Her husband had also been a soldier before, but he was wounded and retired from the battlefield. The couple started a business and accumulated a considerable fortune.
After their son died, they were left with only their daughter.
The vast family fortune could only be inherited by their daughter, so her boyfriend expressed his willingness to marry into the family.
They didn't want their son-in-law's family to be poor, so they didn't ask for a bride price. They only hoped that he would treat their daughter well, and for this reason, they even gave their son-in-law's family two thousand yuan.
"Two thousand yuan. Go ask around, and you'll see that people don't even give that much money to get married. Everyone, be the judge, are we being fair to their family?"
The woman in the next bed said, "My family only spent five hundred yuan to get a wife, and my daughter-in-law even gave birth to a big, healthy boy for us. Sister, you've lost a lot of money by spending two thousand yuan. You've brought home a son-in-law who can't have children and even steals your kids."
“Of course, that would be a huge loss,” said the person in the other bed.
They were staying in a regular ward with three beds for three pregnant women.
The other two families were just watching the show.
"Sister, so you're saying they switched the children to try and seize your family's business?"
Zhang Fangfang nodded and said, "Yes, that's their plan."
Wang finally lost her composure and stopped trying to argue, letting Zhang Fangfang say whatever she wanted.
Huang Chun, who was in bed, had just undergone surgery and had been lying there, not daring to speak at all.
I was so scared that my hands and feet turned ice cold.
Pan Hong was no better off than them; he kept his head down and didn't dare to say a word.
The woman's family member next to him looked at him and said, "Young man, are you confused? This is your own daughter. With such a large inheritance, how could she possibly let you suffer?"
If you put him in your older brother's son's shoes, do you think he'd take care of you in your old age? Give me a break! I've never seen a nephew take care of his uncle. Be careful, when you're old, he might bring his own parents to live with him and kick you out.
Madam Wang said, "Don't talk nonsense. The family property should be inherited by the son. If the nephew inherits it, the things will belong to our Pan family. If the daughter inherits it, who knows who it will belong to in the future?"
"Oh dear, old lady, what era are we living in? You still say things like that. Times have changed, and your old ideas don't work anymore. The country is now promoting family planning, and there will be many families with only one daughter in the future. Since the country dares to promote it, the relevant laws on daughters inheriting family businesses will naturally follow, so you don't need to worry about it."
