Siheyuan: Rebirth in a prosperous era, great doctors are sincere

Chapter 608: Zhou's End, Xu Damao's Indifference

When Zhou found her daughter and son-in-law, Yang Bairu and his wife refused without hesitation.

Yang Bairu’s meaning was very clear.

He couldn't and didn't want to get involved in such matters. Not only that, Yang Bairu also persuaded Zhou that if there was nothing wrong with the child, she should go to the police station to register the child openly. If there was a problem, she should just confess it to avoid the police investigating and causing harm to others and herself.

Yang Bairu had some doubts about Zhou. If the child was fine, why would he look for him? Why was he afraid of the police?

As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door.

She came to me stealthily to seek help. Does this mean there is something fishy going on?

Zhou looked at her son-in-law in panic and then turned her attention to her daughter Xu Jiao, wanting her to persuade her husband.

How to know.

Xu Jiao ignored her completely.

The water thrown out by the married daughter.

Of course Xu Jiao would side with her husband.

What's more, Xu Jiao really didn't have a good impression of her mother Zhou. If she hadn't married Yang Bairu by accident, her mother might have swapped her for another one.

Xu Jiao said, "Mom, you should listen to my husband. I don't want him to be dragged into doing things he shouldn't do because of you. If that happens, he might even lose his job as district secretary, which he finally got!"

Zhou pleaded a few more times but Xu Jiao and her husband still refused to confess.

Zhou had no choice but to leave the Yang family. After leaving, she stomped her feet and scolded her daughter Xu Jiao for being unfilial and a good-for-nothing.

This girl Zhou not only lied to outsiders, but also to her husband and son. She also told her husband and son that she picked up the child in the countryside and that she had done nothing wrong. Instead, she was the child's savior.

Xu Fugui and his son actually believed it.

Zhou did not let Xu Fugui and his son name the child, and she named the child "Xu Renxiao" herself.

The child was raised in the Xu family, but the issue of registering him became a concern for Zhou.

urgent.

Scared.

Think about it.

Zhou came up with an idea and wanted the Sixth Hospital to help issue a doctor's certificate saying that the child was her son.

As long as I am registered and become a child of the Xu family, everything will be easy.

Just for this matter, Zhou went to find Li Pingan specifically.

current.

Registering the child was probably what Zhou valued most, but even so, when Zhou went to the Li family to find Li Ping'an, she came back empty-handed.

In her opinion, the Xu and Li families have been neighbors for decades, and she is Li Ping'an's elder. How could she refuse to ask him to help with some small matters?

What gift to bring?

When Li Ping'an came home from get off work for dinner, Zhou went to Li's house. She didn't hesitate and went straight to the point and stated her request.

The third aunt and Jia Zhang all knew that Zhou had brought back a child from the countryside. When they visited the Li family, they told Xu about this matter, and Li Ping'an also heard about it.

Isn’t this a child picked up in the countryside?

How can Zhou say that she gave birth to the child?

He actually asked me to give false testimony for him?

Li Pingan was a little confused. He refused without hesitation and said, "That won't work. A birth certificate is something that only obstetricians and gynecologists can do. I can't give it to you. Not to mention that the child is not yours at all. Doesn't this make me commit fraud? I can't do this, and neither can the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Sixth Hospital!"

"You." Zhou felt very uncomfortable.

I am the elder.

What's wrong with asking Li Ping'an for help?

He actually accused himself of fraud.

What's wrong with cheating?

If it's not a fraud, why would I look for him?

If everything is reasonable and compliant, do we still need to look for Li Pingan?

"Please help me!" Zhou said, "I just want to register Xu Renxiao. I'm worried that the police will ask me questions and they won't register me!"

Li Pingan still shook his head and said, "No, I can't do this!"

No matter how Zhou begged, Li Ping'an never agreed.

Xu and Li Lin didn't help either, and Qin Huairu didn't say a word. She just directed the two children to eat.

Zhou walked out of Li's house with a gloomy face. After returning to Xu's house, she told Xu Fugui and his son what had just happened.

Xu Fugui and his son both said why bother looking for Li Ping'an, couldn't they just go to the police station and let the police register the household registration?

Wouldn't she be putting Li Ping'an in a difficult position by doing this?

No wonder Li Pingan refused to help!

"You, you guys..." Zhou felt that she might not have hidden it from her husband and son.

They both thought too simply.

If I had known this would happen, I would have just told them the truth. Now I have to deceive not only outsiders but also the two people closest to me.

Zhou still didn't dare to go to the police station to register the child, so she could only delay it for the time being. When a little time had passed and the child was an established fact, the neighbors all knew that the child belonged to the Xu family. Then she would feel more confident when she went to register the child. At least when the police came to investigate, the neighbors would speak for her and tell the police that she was the one who picked up the child.

All the neighbors in the courtyard were kept in the dark, and even the husband and son did not know the truth of the matter.

What can I say if the neighbors don’t support me?

The Li family has discussed it.

The whole family thought that Zhou had bad intentions and who knows what might have happened to the child!

The more she tries to cover up certain facts, the more it proves that there is a problem.

But the child is too young.

It's really hard to find out something from children.

When they returned to their family compound to rest at night, Qin Huairu told Li Ping'an a piece of news. She said that she saw a missing person notice in the "Health News". A baby who had just been born in a commune clinic in the countryside had been taken away by someone. The relatives were extremely anxious. They not only called the police but also went to find people from the county health bureau.

The health departments in several nearby counties and even the city should pay attention. If a stranger brings a child to a hospital or clinic for vaccination, they should make detailed inquiries and even call the police.

"Safe!" Qin Huairu asked, "According to the time stated in the newspaper, it should be around the same time that Zhou brought the child back. Do you think it will happen?"

She didn't say it explicitly, but Li Ping'an already understood what his wife meant.

Qin Huairu suspected that Zhou was the one who took the child away, and this child was most likely the one that was stolen.

"It's hard to say!" Li Ping'an said, "But seeing how hesitant Zhou was when she came to us, there must be something wrong with the child. Even if Zhou didn't steal the child, there must be something shameful going on here!"

Qin Huairu nodded.

After all, it was just speculation, and this matter had little to do with them, so they quickly changed the subject.

As summer approached, the weather gradually became warmer and electric fans began to be used. There were electric fans in the courtyards and the staff quarters.

The electricity bill has increased a lot.

But since you have paid the electricity bill, you should use the fan.

It wasn't too hot even with the fan on.

During working hours, some police officers went to the Sixth Hospital to conduct an investigation, asking whether anyone had brought unfamiliar children to the hospital for vaccinations or to get birth certificates.

The police also knew that doing so was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack. With so many newborn babies in Beijing, it would not be easy to find a stolen child.

What if the criminal was a vagrant and stole the child and took him to another place?

but.

Since we have received a notice from our superiors asking the police station to assist in the investigation, we must do this well.

Li Ping'an suddenly had an idea and told them about Zhou's story. Of course, he did not say that the child Zhou "picked up" was the one mentioned in the newspaper. He just provided a clue for them to verify.

If Zhou is telling the truth, why not help her register the child?

If there is any problem with this child, the police can handle it!

The policeman wrote down Li Ping'an's reaction.

After returning to the police station, he found a few colleagues and told them that they were going to conduct an investigation. Qian Ming was also very interested in this matter.

The clue was provided by Li Pingan.

This is definitely not groundless. Regardless of whether the child Zhou brought back was the one he was looking for, Li Pingan at least had some doubts about this child.

Several policemen went to the neighborhood committee to understand the situation. The aunt from the neighborhood committee told them that Zhou had indeed adopted a child, and it was said that she had picked up the child in the countryside, and the child might not have been registered yet.

It is indeed a child adopted from the countryside, but Zhou deliberately delayed registering the child, which shows that there is indeed a problem here.

Led by a neighborhood committee secretary, several policemen arrived at the courtyard. Unfortunately, Zhou had gone out to buy groceries, and there was no one at Xu's house.

However, before leaving, Zhou left Xu Renxiao in the care of the third aunt.

Coming out of the middle courtyard, the police found the third aunt walking out of Yan's house holding a child. Several people thought she was Zhou, and without consulting the neighborhood committee staff, they immediately surrounded the third aunt.

The three aunts were startled and said in panic: "You, what are you doing? I haven't done anything wrong!"

Hearing the noise outside, Zhang Lan took her eldest son and held her youngest son in her arms to the front yard. She was frightened when she saw so many police officers.

I wanted to help my mother-in-law but I didn't dare to step forward.

The neighborhood committee official was very familiar with the situation in the courtyard and knew about the Yan family's affairs. She asked hurriedly, "Is that your grandson? Where is Zhou? Where did she go?"

The third aunt didn't dare to hide anything and quickly told everything she knew.

Isn't this person Zhou?

Qian Ming hurriedly asked about the child that Zhou had brought from the countryside.

How could the third aunt and Zhang Lan, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, dare to hide it?

He told the truth in detail.

They also helped Zhou take care of the children and were very familiar with children's affairs.

That’s quite detailed!

Qian Ming frowned.

The time when Zhou brought the child over coincided with the time when the child was lost, and Zhou did go to the countryside that day.

Zhou is more likely to be suspected of stealing the child.

When the police were questioning the third aunt, Zhou came back. After entering the gate of the courtyard, she saw the third aunt talking to the police.

A guilty conscience.

Subconsciously, Zhou thought that the truth had been revealed, that the police were looking for her, and that the third aunt might have betrayed her.

Zhou panicked.

The guy turned and ran.

The neighborhood committee official immediately said, "She is the person you are looking for. She is Zhou. Police comrades, don't let her get away!"

Several policemen immediately chased after her, and Zhou was caught on the street outside the courtyard. Several people led by Qian Ming surrounded her. When they took her back to the courtyard for questioning, Zhou began to quibble again, insisting that she had picked up the child in the countryside.

Doctor Qian Ming snorted and said, "If that's the case, why did you run when you saw us?"

Zhou said that when she saw the police, she was scared and wanted to turn around and hide, but she didn't expect the police to chase her. She ran away because she was nervous, and she definitely didn't run away because she felt guilty.

Qian Ming asked the child again where he picked it up.

Zhou was nervous and didn't dare to tell the truth, so she lied and just said a place. She didn't dare say that she found it in the commune where Widow Song lived.
