"Child, how long have you been here, do you know?" Qiu Hualan asked, prompting those around to quickly question Hua Hua if itâs really true.
Hua Hua was confused for a moment, lowered his head to count on his fingers, and earnestly replied, "Itâs been more than five months, you know. When I first arrived, I didnât know how I fell asleep, and then I was in a courtyard here. I miss Mom, miss Grandma, but the grandparents here wonât let me go outside. They told me they are my real grandparents and want me to live with them in the future."
"How can you act like this, you old woman? You were a nanny in someone elseâs house, found their child cute, and secretly took him away, didnât you? Did you know thatâs illegal?"
"Simply outrageous. Who would dare hire a nanny in the future, just taking away someone elseâs child right under their nose? Imagine how heartbroken the childâs family would be."
"Damn it, people like this should be taken out and shot immediately."
"Honestly, not human at all. Such malice at this age, your son should give birth to a child without an anus."
"Quickly, tie her up first, wait for the police to come and take her away. This kind of person is too dangerous, letâs tell the police, she should be locked up longer."
"Hua Hua, come, let Grandma hug. Sweetie, do you miss Mom? Grandma will take you to see Mom, alright?" Qiu Hualan wanted to hug Hua Hua.
Li Liangâs mother held onto Hua Hua tightly, not letting go, "I am really her real Grandma, I have the paternity test. Really, the childâs mom has gone insane. The family where my grandson was before wasnât his real Grandma, I am. Itâs the childâs mom and my son who had the child."
"What are you doing, youâre about to break the childâs arm, and yet you claim heâs your grandson? Everybody look, is this how you treat your own grandchild?" Qiu Hualan saw how Li Liangâs mother was pulling Hua Hua so hard he could barely stand, not caring for the child at all, and felt heartbroken, "Iâm telling you, if you dare slander my daughter again, Iâll tear your mouth apart."
"Nowadays, human traffickers are truly outrageous; just listen to her. Is this something a real Grandma would say?"
"Yes, see how sheâs pulling the child, let go quickly." Some kind-hearted people, seeing Li Liangâs mother grabbing Hua Hua like this, went straight up to pull her away.
Li Liangâs mother saw they didnât believe her and started panicking; her grandson couldnât be snatched away by such an outsider.
"He is my grandson, really my grandson, please believe me. My home is just a little ahead, I have the paternity test. If you donât believe, you can come with me and see. This child is really my grandson."
"Who would believe you? Maybe youâre just trying to deceive the neighbors, creating a fake paternity test for your son to cover up a sudden appearance."
"Yes, I tell you, even if we see it, we wonât believe you. Letâs wait for the police to come before we say anything."
"What Iâm saying is true. Itâs the family that didnât want him, itâs... itâs..." Li Liangâs mother said, suddenly standing up and pointing at Qiu Hualan, "Yes, her daughter. She was originally married, even lured my son, and ended up pregnant with my sonâs child, afraid of the scandal so hid the truth, saying the child was her husbandâs. My son died in an accident a few years ago without leaving an heir to the family. After a lot of inquiries, we learned about it, and therefore went to Capital City to get the child. We were afraid the child wouldnât want to come back with us, so we gave him some calming medication on the way back and he slept throughout. What we told our grandson was the truth; my grandsonâs not their biological child. When we showed the paternity test to them, they immediately knew. Just for dignity, they dared not make a fuss. Otherwise, after so many months, they should have reported it already. If we had stolen the child, would we dare openly take him out like this? If we were human traffickers, we wouldâve sold him already, not kept him by our side. Iâm telling the absolute truth, please believe me." Li Liangâs words seemed reasonable and well-supported, causing many spectators to waver and start believing her.
"This... they just didnât want a real grandson?"
"Didnât you hear her say? Not biological. For dignity, they probably just let them take him back."
"Yeah, we havenât seen this with our own eyes; hard to say."
"Everyone, donât believe her, sheâs slandering my daughter. My daughter could never do such a thing." Qiu Hualan couldnât believe Li Liangâs motherâs words, her daughter wouldnât marry and then be involved with another man, Ah Qing wouldnât do something so foolish.
But she didnât know, the woman in front was Li Liangâs mother; if she knew this was Li Liangâs mother, she wouldnât be so confident.
Li Liangâs mother herself didnât know the true story between her son and Ye Qing. This was a case where both sides claimed they were right, holding onto the child and refusing to relent.
Meanwhile, Du Guangjun had called the police, and Mr. Li Liang had come from work to meet his grandson, shocked to see the police involved because of Hua Hua. This frightened Mr. Li Liang; he quickly stepped forward to ascertain the situation only to learn they had run into Hua Huaâs Grandma. The matter became difficult.
Hua Huaâs Grandma had never met them, nor did they know Ye Qing well. Now Hua Huaâs Grandma claimed relentlessly that they abducted her grandson. This required a proper argument.
