Chapter 124 Their plan was overheard by Fu Huaiyi
"She's leaving, and I still have to be careful? I tolerated her before for my son's sake, why should I tolerate her now?"
"Are you stupid? These things can be done slowly." Wang lowered her voice and said, "I already have a plan, just you wait and see."
After saying that, she muttered something to her eldest son, and only after hearing her words did Pan Yi feel relieved.
……
The next day, Wang stuffed the three of them with a bunch of local specialties and had Pan Hong take them to the airport early in the morning.
Zhang Fangfang only breathed a sigh of relief after the plane took off.
"Oh, they're finally leaving. I was really afraid they would insist on keeping Xiaoyi here."
She looked at Fu Huaiyi across from her and said, "Ayi, do you think they want to leave your sister here to give birth?"
“Hmm.” Although Fu Huaiyi didn’t speak, he kept observing the others.
The way everyone was making faces and the way Sister-in-law Pan tried so hard to persuade them to stay yesterday all seemed strange.
According to Wang, she was biased towards her younger daughter-in-law, who got chicken soup while her older daughter-in-law didn't.
They're both pregnant, so how much resentment must the eldest daughter-in-law have?
If they say they're leaving, she should be overjoyed. Otherwise, if she really stays here to give birth, and the whole family is busy taking care of her sister, what will she do?
So from her perspective, she might at most try to save face by saying a few words to persuade him to stay.
But her behavior at the dinner table yesterday was not just for show.
So, as usual, he locked the door from the inside that night, keeping Pan Hong outside, and then he kept watching Wang's room from the window.
Not long after, Pan Yi was indeed seen knocking on Wang's door.
After they went inside, he jumped out of the window and secretly eavesdropped outside the door.
Sure enough, I overheard their unspeakable secret.
Fu Huaiyi looked up at Fu Leyi and saw that she was frowning slightly and not saying anything, as if she was thinking about something.
After thinking about it, he decided it was best not to mention it for now, and to get back to Nancheng safely first and ask his uncle.
Otherwise, she might get seriously ill from anger, and the plane can't stop midway through the flight.
"Xiaoyi, come and have some water." Zhang Fangfang handed her the water.
Fu Leyi twitched the corner of her mouth, took the water glass, took a sip, and then handed the glass back to Zhang Fangfang.
Zhang Fangfang took the water glass and asked with concern, "Are you alright? You were shaking a little at first."
"It's okay, I'm just a little sleepy, I'll take a nap."
"Okay, go to sleep."
Seeing that she had covered herself with a blanket and closed her eyes, Zhang Fangfang didn't say anything more.
I turned my head, intending to speak to Fu Huaiyi, but found that he was also covered with a blanket and had his eyes closed.
Are they all asleep?
Since everyone's asleep, I might as well get some sleep too.
After getting off the plane, they saw the driver who had come to pick them up as soon as they left the airport.
At the airport, Fu Huaiyi had already called Bo Fuxingwei, so he sent a driver to pick them up based on their arrival time.
He went straight back to the Fu family's villa and found that Fu Xingwei was already waiting at the door.
"Xiaoyi."
Upon meeting the three of them, Fu Xingwei first noticed his daughter, Fu Leyi.
“Dad.” Fu Leyi went up and gave him a hug.
However, I could only give her a half-hearted hug, because her belly was so big that I couldn't actually hug her.
Fu Xingwei looked her up and down and smiled with relief: "You didn't suffer, but you've gained weight, a lot more."
"Of course, there's plenty of chicken, duck, fish and meat in the countryside, all of it is the freshest. I eat it every day."
"Wow, they're quite willing to spend money."
“On my first day there, they gave me 200 yuan for living expenses, and I even bought them a TV.”
Fu Xingwei said, "It's true that buying these things costs money, but when people cook them for you, it's their way of showing their appreciation."
"Yes, yes," Zhang Fangfang said irritably. "What are you standing at the door for? Hurry up and go inside."
"Alright, come inside."
They live in a small villa dating back to the Republic of China era, located in the city center; it's an old house.
But it's well-maintained and repaired every year, so it still looks relatively new.
However, the large blue bricks were too dark in color, and with many trees around the house that were taller than the house itself, the whole house looked rather shady.
The family of three exchanged pleasantries for a while, but Fu Huaiyi didn't get a chance to speak.
Only after Zhang Fangfang instructed the nanny to take Fu Leyi home to rest did he have a chance to speak.
"Ayi, just say it." Zhang Fangfang finally noticed. "I've been holding it in the whole way, what's wrong?"
Fu Huaiyi looked up at the upstairs, somewhat uneasy.
Zhang Fangfang said, "It's okay, go ahead and say it. If your sister comes out, Aunt Chen will remind her."
Fu Huaiyi nodded before speaking, "They do have a bad idea. They want my sister to give birth in their hometown, preferably at the town's clinic, so they can easily switch babies."
"What?" The two men's expressions changed drastically.
"Exchange children? Exchange what children?"
Fu Huaiyi didn't answer immediately, but asked instead, "Have you checked whether my sister is having a boy or a girl?"
Both of them shook their heads.
“With the current family planning policy, each family can only have one child, and our family especially needs to set an example. So this is our only chance to have a child, and we don’t want to artificially choose the gender. Whether it’s a boy or a girl, we only want this one.”
Fu Huaiyi understood, took a deep breath and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Pan Hong's family already knows it's a girl."
Two people: "..."
Zhang Fangfang frowned as she thought of something and said, "They took Xiaoyi to the clinic. It must have been someone from the clinic in their town who told them."
"No matter where they found out, they know anyway. And their sister-in-law is pregnant with a boy, so if my sister gives birth in Pan Hong's hometown, she will definitely give birth to a boy as well."
"Huh?" Zhang Fangfang said in shock, "You mean they want to switch the two children? Switch them with Brother Pan Hong's child?"
"Yes."
"This..." Zhang Fangfang was so shocked that her heart was pounding.
She went for two days, arriving the night before last, but actually only stayed for one day.
Judging from this one day, their family actually treated Xiaoyi quite well.
They said they wanted to come back, and apart from her sister-in-law saying a few words, no one else said anything.
Pan Hong, in particular, agreed immediately.
She had always thought they were overthinking things, but she never expected her nephew to say something like that.
"Ah Yi, are you sure about this?"
Fu Huaiyi nodded. "I heard it."
what?
What did he hear?
"Who said that?"
“Brother Pan Hong and his mother.”
Both of them stared at him intently.
Fu Huaiyi said, "I felt something was off during lunch. Pan Hong's sister-in-law kept trying to persuade my sister to stay and have her postpartum care with her, and to help take care of the baby. She was just being polite..."
Fu Huaiyi then explained his analysis.
Pan Hong's sister-in-law's attempt to persuade them to stay was unusual; she should have been hoping they would leave as soon as possible.
