Zhu Yanyi never imagined that Gan Juhua and Zhu Xiangyao would plot against her family. After meeting Zhu Xiangyao on the road that day, she visited the Xie family and then returned home to tell Zhu Shunyao. Zhu Shunyao originally wanted to confront them, but Xie Xinlian persuaded her: "We know their family is bad, and everyone in Gan'en Village knows it too. But they rarely leave evidence. We have no proof now, so arguing with them is useless. It is better to be careful in the future. Fortunately, Doumiao has been living with Father."
Although Zhu Zhibin is now in primary school, Xie Zhong handles his pick-up and drop-off. Therefore, he only returns home on holidays. Thinking of how Gan Juhua had tried to snatch Zhu Zhibin before, Xie Xinlian felt a chill of fear.
Zhu Shunyao felt very frustrated. But what could he do? There was no evidence. He punched the table hard. "Fortunately, we have moved out. Otherwise, seeing that branch of the family, I would want to beat them up."
Zhu Yanyi said from the side, "Looking at Uncle Xiangyao’s state, Aunt Qiaolian is probably about to give birth soon. If she has a son, they will cause trouble. If she has a daughter, I worry they will plot against us again. So, Father, please stay alert these days." She then turned to Luo Gang. "Brother Luo, please take turns watching them. We must not let them trick us."
Luo Gang nodded. "Miss, rest assured. I will arrange this." The six of them now lived in the Zhu family’s new house. They were very familiar with the Zhu family. Luo Gang and the others would never allow anyone to scheme against the Zhu family.
About a week later, Zhu Yanyi was at home. When she woke up in the morning, she saw Luo Gang and the others with strange expressions. Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly. "What happened? Did something happen in that branch?"
Li Yang came over and said, "Miss asked us to watch Zhu Xiangyao’s side. We took turns watching. Last night, Gan Juhua and Zhu Xiangyao secretly returned. They were carrying a bundle. It was a baby girl. This morning, before 4:30, Gan Juhua secretly came out and left the child at our front door. I checked the child. She was dressed warmly. The weather is cold, so I thought I would wait half an hour. If they did not care, I would send the child back. But Gan Juhua had left for less than five minutes. Old Zhang, who collects scrap at the village entrance, found the child and took her away."
Zhu Yanyi knew Old Zhang. She was a lonely old man at the village entrance. She had no children or wife. She lived alone, surviving by collecting and selling scrap. Of course, the village gave her eight fen of land. So, although she was called Scrap Zhang, her life was not very good, but she had enough to eat and wear.
Hearing this news, Zhu Yanyi said, "Did my Fourth Grandma want to dump the girl at our door for us to raise? But now Scrap Zhang took her?"
"I think so. But I have already sent Wang Ye to investigate the details," Luo Gang said seriously. But everyone in their hearts understood. Based on the personality of Zhu Guifu’s family, this truth was almost certain.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Do my parents know this news?" Zhu Yanyi did not want Zhu Shunyao to worry.
