Chapter 168: Now that the recording is finished, let's see how you try to deny it.
They were eating here, and Fu Huaiyi packed a portion to take to Yi Yunshuo, while also asking him about the situation upstairs.
"Old Mrs. Wang went out to buy food, so only Sister-in-law Pan Hong is in the ward. Your niece didn't get any milk, so they gave her some water. The nurse asked her to go buy formula, but I don't know if she knows how."
"Didn't you say they were going to feed them rice water?"
"Yes, that's what Old Lady Wang said."
If that's the case, it's no wonder his niece won't get any milk.
"Try to stall them for a bit and prevent them from feeding my niece random things. We'll be there soon."
"to make."
After having lunch and taking a nap, Fu Leyi felt much better.
They felt they couldn't wait any longer; the adults were slowly recovering, but the children were still hungry.
Fu Xingwei gave Fu Huaiyi a wink, and Fu Huaiyi nodded, then took out a cassette tape from his bag and put it into the tape recorder.
Pan Hong was still feeding Fu Leyi soup, and neither of them realized that something big was about to happen.
Fu Leyi glanced at it curiously, thinking that Fu Huaiyi was going to play some music for her to cheer her up.
Until, a familiar voice came from the tape recorder.
"I've asked the doctor. If I can't give birth today, I'll try tomorrow. If I can't give birth tomorrow, I'll have a C-section the day after. I absolutely have to give birth."
"Then I'll have someone arrange surgery for your sister-in-law?"
"Okay, let's arrange it..."
Pan Hong froze, holding the soup bowl.
The first recording is of Pan Hong informing his mother to arrange for his sister-in-law to have a cesarean section.
Even if the baby is premature and hasn't reached the due date, they still arrange for a C-section.
Fu Leyi looked at Pan Hong with a strange expression, "Is your sister-in-law also in this hospital?"
At this moment, Pan Hong's face was pale and his hands were trembling.
Fu Leyi continued, "Didn't your sister-in-law have a month left on her due date? Why did she have to have a C-section a month early?"
Pan Hong's lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Across from him, Fu Huaiyi took out the finished cassette tape and started playing the second one.
The second tape is a recording of Pan Hong's transaction with a nurse in the delivery room. It clearly records Pan Hong asking the nurse to conceal the baby's gender, for which he paid her 1,000 yuan.
At this moment, Zhang Fangfang stared at Pan Hong with eyes that seemed to want to pierce him completely.
"A thousand dollars, huh? You're really generous."
Pan Hong trembled violently, his face turning deathly pale.
Fu Leyi's expression wasn't much better, but she still asked him, "Pan Hong, why did you hide the child's gender? Is it a son or a daughter?"
How could Pan Hong dare to say that?
Even in the dead of winter, he was already sweating.
At this point, the third recording also began.
"Mom, maybe...maybe we should just forget about it. This is my own daughter, I don't want to change her."
"Pan Hong, are you stupid? What good is your own daughter? Daughters are just a money-losing burden. Who knows who will benefit from her marriage? With so much family fortune, are you really willing to let someone else have it?"
"me……"
"Alright, enough with the 'you' and 'me' talk. This is my own granddaughter, how could I possibly mistreat her? If it really comes to it, I won't take the child back. I'll just tell your sister-in-law to abandon her and give her to you two. Your wife can raise them like twins, that'll be fine..."
After listening to the first two recordings, Fu Leyi could still pretend to be unaware. As long as Pan Hong gave her a reasonable excuse, she could deceive herself into believing it.
After listening to the third recording, can she still believe him?
No, she couldn't anymore; she couldn't deceive herself.
Fu Leyi stared at Pan Hong in disbelief. She felt as if a large hand was gripping her throat, and she could hardly breathe.
Finally, as she was about to suffocate, she gritted her teeth and roared.
“Pan Hong…”
Pan Hong shuddered and knelt down with a thud, "Xiao Yi, wife."
"Why? I'm asking you why you switched your own flesh and blood, why?"
When she questioned him, Fu Leyi couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
Zhang Fangfang wanted to comfort her, but Fu Xingwei stopped her.
"Fangfang, let her handle it herself."
They can't protect her forever.
If she can't handle it herself, then it's not too late for them to step in.
“Honey, don’t be angry. I… I didn’t mean to send our daughter away. You heard the recording just now. I’m just sending her to my sister-in-law’s place temporarily. I’ll bring her back in a few days.”
Half a day has passed, and she still hasn't seen her daughter.
Upon hearing this, she forgot about settling scores with Pan Hong and hurriedly said, "Quick, quick, go and bring my daughter back."
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
It's okay to settle accounts with them later; the important thing is to bring the child back.
The child is still hungry.
Fu Xingwei stayed behind, while Zhang Fangfang and Fu Huaiyi went upstairs together to hold the baby.
Seeing this, Pan Hong was worried that they would start fighting, so he quickly got up and followed them out.
Only Fu Xingwei and Fu Leyi remained in the room.
Fu Xingwei sat on the stool by the bed and watched her cry.
After a while, he handed her the handkerchief and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Fu Leyi sobbed, wiping her tears with a handkerchief as she shook her head and said, "I don't know what to do."
"You don't know? Then can you pretend this never happened?"
Fu Leyi thought for a moment, then shook her head.
Then she asked him, "Dad, did you already know?"
Fu Xingwei took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "Yes, last time your mother and A-Yi went to Pan Hong's hometown to pick you up, they overheard your mother-in-law and her eldest son talking. They left you in the countryside so that they could arrange for a baby swap at the town's health center. You weren't feeling unwell; the town doctor just said that on purpose."
Fu Xingwei talked to her for a long time, starting with how her mother-in-law deliberately treated her well.
The so-called "being good to her" and letting her eat chicken every day is actually a way to fatten up the child so that she can't give birth naturally and can have a C-section later.
Because anesthesia is used during a C-section, she will fall into a deep sleep after the anesthesia is administered, making it easier for them to switch babies.
After saying that, Fu Leyi stopped crying and sat on the bed without saying a word, recalling how the weather was unusually hot this year and how Pan Hong had urged her to go back to his hometown to escape the heat.
Looking at everything from the beginning, I found many inconsistencies.
Things she couldn't understand before, things she found strange, are now clear to her.
In fact, she had already noticed many things that were not right. For example, her mother-in-law would follow her every time she made a phone call, and her mother-in-law would also follow her when she answered the phone.
He said he was worried about her, but actually he was worried that his family would make him go back.
At that time, she deliberately ignored some details, thinking that the child was about to be born and life had to go on, so she didn't want to think too badly of people.
Thinking about these things, Fu Leyi burst into tears again.
Fu Xingwei neither criticized her nor urged her to make a decision immediately; he simply sat quietly beside her and watched her.
