Chapter 92: Chapter 92: The Truth About One’s Origin (Part 2)

Old Madam Lee was in her sixties, robust in health, her only ailment being a slight case of cataract.

She was raising a little girl wrapped in swaddling clothes by herself, supposedly her granddaughter, who was already over a year old.

Until she gave birth, it had always been Meng Wanhua who did the cooking.

A few times when she went to the alley’s entrance to call Zhao Tianzhi for meals, she played with the little girl. The girl was pitifully thin except for her clear and alert eyes that betrayed her age, indeed over a year old. From any other aspect, people might believe she was only two or three months old.

Meng Wanhua felt then how fragile the life of a child was and vowed to protect her own child well after its birth.

But she never expected that on the day she went to call Zhao Tianzhi for a meal and didn’t see her, she instead saw the heavily pregnant Zhao Sulan.

Seeing Zhao Sulan following Old Madam Lee next door, she couldn’t contain her curiosity and eavesdropped from the back door.

What she heard was a shocking secret that she would regret for the rest of her life.

It turned out that Old Madam Lee was Zhao Sulan’s aunt.

The child Old Madam Lee cared for was the offspring of a wild night between Zhao Sulan’s cousin’s fiancé, Han Zheng, and the village girl.

Zhao Sulan deeply loved Han Zheng, but unfortunately, he didn’t spare her a thought. She originally intended to use the child to threaten him into marrying her, but just after the child was born, he disappeared for reasons unknown.

It was also at this time that Lin Youdong returned to town.

She didn’t like Lin Youdong, but since he came from a good family, and his heart only held affection for her, he was the best prospect for her besides Han Zheng.

To secure a comfortable life, she threw herself into his arms.

However, she couldn’t forget Han Zheng and despised Lin Youdong in her heart, so she decided to switch her two half-siblings.

This time, she used the excuse of taking care of her suddenly ill Aunt to come over for the birth and prepare to switch the babies.

And the irony was that while Zhao Sulan wanted to raise her child with Han Zheng, she couldn’t be bothered to even glance at the baby. When Old Madam Lee asked her to help feed the child, she actually said, "Just looking at her annoys me, take her away, take her away."

Old Madam Lee couldn’t listen without reacting and asked, "If that’s the case, why bother bringing her back to your side?"

Zhao Sulan sneered, "Because I despise the child in my belly even more. But rest assured, after I take her back, I’ll find her a good nanny, feed her the most expensive milk, and give her the best of everything. I just won’t lift a finger for her myself."

At that time, Meng Wanhua was astonished: Zhao Sulan was just too bizarre.

But she was also tempted, a Devil was born in her heart—she wanted to switch her child with Lin Youdong’s.

If she had the chance.

Meng Wanhua’s thought was, if there was a chance, switch.

If not, then let it be.

She actually thought there was no chance.

If she gave birth after Zhao Sulan, or the distinction between the children was too obvious, there was simply no possibility.

A few days later, she gave birth to Lin Fangwei, and Lin Fangwei was exceptionally well developed at birth, looking unusually mature.

Not only was the size large, but the eyes were also bright and alert.

The doctors and nurses attending the birth at the hospital all said that this child didn’t look like a newborn at all but rather like someone else’s child who had been reared for half a year.

But no matter how mature, there was still a difference from a child over a year old.

Meng Wanhua felt that switching the children was unreliable and set aside the thought, planning to return to Xiaoliu Village with her child and Zhao Tianzhi after the full month celebration.

But what she didn’t expect was that, on the day before she was scheduled to go home, Zhao Sulan was rushed to the hospital with a difficult labor.

Old Madam Lee hurried to the hospital to take care of her, gave Zhao Tianzhi twenty yuan, and asked her to help look after Zhao Sulan and Han Zheng’s child, now known as Meng Chuyue.

That night, Meng Wanhua agonized over whether to switch the children or not, and by dawn, she completely gave it up.

She didn’t want to commit such an evil act.
