Although the Zhao family was reluctant to part with them, Zhao Futou and his son-in-law chose to pack up and leave quietly in order to repay their kindness.
On the night of their departure, Long Tianhao secretly arranged for a few capable men to stay by Lady Zhao and her husband's side.
In the long winter night, a drop of water turned to ice.
While everyone was sleeping soundly, a petite figure sneaked into Zhao Yunniang's room.
There was only one candlelight in the room, and she could vaguely see two adults lying on the bed.
The little baby was protected by them in the innermost part of the room. He was sleeping soundly and had no idea that someone was watching him.
The dark figure stood by the bed.
In the dim light, the madness in the dark figure's eyes almost broke the baby.
She stretched out her trembling hands to hold the baby in her arms.
But at this moment, the baby, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly frowned and burst into tears, probably because of the child's innate sense of danger.
The baby's cry broke the silence of the long night.
Zhao Yunniang opened her eyes almost immediately, and her hands subconsciously went to protect her child.
But —
"What are you doing?"
She unexpectedly grabbed a pair of cold hands. Even though her brain had not reacted yet, her body automatically protected the baby under her body and she asked in a stern voice.
The person tried to break free, but Zhao Yunniang held on to her with all her strength.
The black figure, who was unsuccessful, pushed forward and hit Zhao Yunniang's shoulder, then turned around and ran away.
"Catch the thief! Someone wants to harm the baby! "
Zhao Yunniang shouted loudly, and Aunty Zhao, who was sleeping next to her, also crawled up and stumbled over to catch her.
But they were still a little slow because they had been awakened, so the person broke free and ran out.
Zhao Yunniang hugged the baby tightly in her arms and comforted him. The little baby seemed to have felt his mother's breath and gradually calmed down.
Aunt Zhao quickly put on her clothes, grabbed the broom beside her and rushed out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw two guards dressed in black stepping on a thin and weak figure.
"Alright, let's see you run another one! Today, this old lady will see clearly who you are. If you dare to touch my little grandson, this old lady will skin you! "
Aunty Zhao was also a valiant person. She rushed up and raised her hand to give that damnable slap.
The commotion here had also woken up the people in the courtyard.
Soon, everyone wrapped themselves in their clothes and rushed out with lanterns in their hands.
At this moment, the courtyard was also illuminated. Aunty Zhao loudly cursed the damned thief.
Suddenly, a strange cry came from the crowd.
Then, someone rushed out and grabbed the person who had been beaten into a pig's head by Aunty Zhao, shouting, "Su Niang! How did you get beaten up like this? "
Everyone was momentarily stunned.
Even Aunty Zhao was a little hesitant. She hadn't seen it clearly just now, so she took a closer look under the light.
Wasn't she Zhao Chunhai's daughter-in-law?
Zhao Chunhai's wife didn't want to be outdone. She pulled Aunty Zhao's arm and cried and scolded her.
"Aiya, I can't live like this anymore. Aren't you guys clearly bullying people? My good daughter-in-law was beaten up like this by you. You have to give me an explanation, otherwise my family will not let this matter rest! "
"Pfft!" Aunty Zhao was even angrier. She pushed the annoying Chunhai's wife away and scolded, "I haven't even looked for you guys, and you're the one complaining first! Your daughter-in-law didn't sleep in the middle of the night and came to our house to steal our children. "
"My daughter and little grandson are my life! If anyone dares to touch them, I'll risk my life! "
She pointed at Chunhai's wife's nose and scolded her more and more harshly.
"I know your family lost a child a while ago, so you want to steal my only child. Wishful thinking! When I find my man, I'll let him dig up your ancestral graves and let wild dogs chew on your ancestor's bones. I'll let you guys become bastards raised by turtles in the future! "
In terms of combat power, Aunty Zhao was also quite strong when she was young.
Thinking back to when her man was running business outside, she was the only one in the family, so what kind of harsh words hadn't she heard before? What kind of crimes hadn't she suffered before?
This also caused Aunty Zhao to become the number one shrew in the surrounding villages.
Even though she was old, her power was still there.
The more Chunhai's wife listened, the more she felt that something was wrong.
"You, you're talking nonsense! Why would our Su 'niang steal your child? "
Aunty Zhao snorted coldly.
"Humph! Maybe, if it wasn't for my daughter's inexperience, she would have succeeded. I don't care about anything else. You must give me an explanation today! "
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
In the Zhao family, stealing a child was a serious crime!
Instantly, the family members who were responsible for taking care of the pregnant women stared at Zhao Su 'niang unkindly.
Chunhai's wife also panicked.
She knew how to behave and quickly held Aunty Zhao's hand, talking about their relationship as sisters.
"Sister, you know my Su 'niang. She has always been timid. How could she do such a wicked thing? My Su 'niang has been a little abnormal recently. Maybe she just misses her child. "
Everyone felt that it made sense, and even Aunty Zhao was a little hesitant.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yunniang walked out at this time with an unkind expression.
"She did it on purpose."
When Aunty Zhao turned around and saw her daughter, she quickly rushed up to her.
"It's cold outside. Be obedient and lie down inside. Don't catch a cold."
But Zhao Yunniang just shook her head and walked in front of Zhao Su 'niang.
"Zhao Su 'niang, I have no enmity with you in the past. Why do you want to harm my child?"
When she had caught Zhao Su 'niang, she had looked her in the eyes at close range.
That pair of eyes was cold and sinister. Even now, when she thought about it, she still felt a chill from the bottom of her heart.
She would definitely not be wrong.
This person was here to harm her child!
Zhao Su 'niang was lying on the ground. At the beginning, when Aunty Zhao hit her, she was like an unconscious puppet. She did not dodge, and her mouth did not move at all.
Until Zhao Yunniang appeared. That pair of dim eyes was gradually distorted by jealousy, hatred, and unwillingness.
"It's you …"
She said vaguely, but her finger pointed at Zhao Yunniang forcefully, as if she wanted to poke a hole in her body.
"It's you who took my child's life! It's all you, it's all you! "
Her deranged words made everyone unable to understand her.
In the end, it was Zhao Yunniang who sighed with a complicated expression.
"Do you think that your child died because Miss Ya saved my child?"
Aunty Zhao immediately retorted for her, "That's not right! When Miss Ya came, her child had already stopped breathing. "
"Nonsense! My child didn't die. He's been waiting for me to save him … "
He didn't know where Zhao Su 'niang got her strength from.
Staggered to the side of the yard and dug in the snow on his hands and knees.
A pit was formed.
She carefully picked up a dark-green swaddle.
Even though the swaddling clothes had been frozen into a large piece of ice, she still gently accepted it with her chest.
"My child is right here. Don't cry, baby. Mother will find a doctor to cure you. In the future, you can also grow up peacefully. "
She seemed to be crying, but the expression on her face seemed to be smiling.
When the crowd saw this, they could only shake their heads.
Every family here had experienced the pain of losing a child.
However, some people managed to get through it, while others were immersed in pain forever.
Zhao Yunniang's eyes flashed with sorrow.
If she hadn't met Miss Ya, her fate would have been the same as Aunty Zhao.
She quietly walked to Aunty Zhao's side.
"Aunty Zhao, the child is gone. We have to look forward. We still have to live like this. "
But Zhao Su 'niang suddenly shouted, "He's not dead! I saw his hands moving with my own eyes. It was Granny. Granny carried him out. He can still be saved. He can still be saved! "
Aunty Zhao started to cry.
But Zhao Yunniang's expression changed.
At the side, Aunty Zhao also reacted and grabbed Chunhai's wife.
"The child was frozen to death by you?"
Chunhai's wife shrank her neck. She was a little afraid of the tigress in front of her.
"I, I … At that time, the child was indeed dying. I just didn't want the child to suffer. Besides, I heard that if the child's last breath was sealed, he could still be reincarnated into our family. I was doing this for the child's own good. "
Aunty Zhao's eyes widened. She reached out and slapped Chunhai's wife.
"Are you stupid? Even if the child was on his last breath, you should have asked someone to treat him. No wonder your wife went crazy. She was driven crazy by you! "
Chunhai's wife didn't dare to say anything. But she still felt wronged.
Zhao Yunniang sighed. Looking at Zhao Yunniang who had completely broken down, she couldn't do anything.
Everyone was also lamenting what sin Zhao Yunniang had committed. How did she end up with such a mother-in-law?
Zhao Yunniang returned to the house and stood by the charcoal stove. She warmed herself and her mother up.
"This Chunhai's wife is making trouble! How could she throw the child out when he's not dead? She's so cruel. She deserves to die without descendants in the future. "
But Zhao Yunniang thought more.
"Mother, do you think some of the children in the past were able to come back to life, only to be frozen to death?"
Aunty Zhao knew that she was thinking of the two children in the past and quickly comforted her.
"How is that possible? It's all thanks to Miss Ya that you're able to keep this child alive."
"That's right. Mother, you said that Miss Ya had already expected this. That's why she told us this?"
Reminded by her daughter, Aunty Zhao couldn't help but worry.
"Yes, yes, yes. We have to take good care of the child."
Zhao Yunniang was deeply worried.
Hopefully, there wouldn't be any more trouble.
The incident of stealing children in the courtyard temporarily came to an end.
On the other hand, when Lin Mengya had just closed her eyes, someone broke in after midnight and forced her to see Uncle Zhao.
The experience of having her sleep interrupted by force was not good at all.
She squinted her eyes and looked at the old man with a gloomy face. The unhappiness in her heart was even stronger than before.
"You're so relaxed. You can sleep so peacefully."
