"We didn't say anything," the implication was clear: Zhu Shunyao and the others were still unaware. "Besides, Uncle Shunyao has been busy with a batch of vegetables going out, so he hasn't had time at home. We didn't have time to tell him either."
Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Since my parents don't know, you don't need to tell them. Let's just pretend we don't know. I want to see what the fourth branch plans to do." A flash of killing intent crossed Zhu Yanyi's eyes. She had never been so angry. What Zhu Guifu's family did had nothing to do with them anymore. They had already moved out. Although they were still in Gǎn'ēn Village, there was some distance between them and Zhu Guifu's house. Now they were still trying to scheme against them. It seemed they really thought they were easy to bully.
Wang Ye investigated quickly. Within two hours, she uncovered the truth. "Zhu Guifu and her family originally planned that if it was a boy, they would blame Zhang Qiaolian, saying she couldn't bear to abort the child, so she ran away to give birth in hiding. Once the child was born, they couldn't kill it. Zhu Xiangyao would then admit her mistake. Although she would lose her job, her hukou (household registration) would remain. This wouldn't greatly affect her future business or other endeavors. But they didn't expect a girl to be born. So, they decided to abandon the child, and specifically at our house. They thought our family had money. If we raised the child, they could still visit as neighbors and see the child. Even if we were fined for raising an extra child, it wouldn't concern them. Zhu Xiangyao's job would remain unaffected. However, they didn't expect Old Zhang the Scavenger to appear. Their plan was simple: Uncle Shunyao opens the door around five every morning. They planned to leave the child at the door around 4:30. The child wouldn't die. Besides, it's the transition from spring to summer, not the dead of winter, so the child would be fine. But their plan was too perfect. They forgot that Old Zhang the Scavenger goes around the village collecting garbage at four o'clock every day to supplement her income."
Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi laughed happily. "Good, good. This is called 'evil people are punished by heaven.' We'll just pretend we don't know. Besides, following Old Zhang the Scavenger is a good place for the child. Old Zhang has no descendants. It's much better than being in a family that values boys over girls."
"But should we just let Zhu Xiangyao and his family go? I feel someone like Zhu Xiangyao doesn't deserve to stand in the ranks of the people." Although he was currently just a small leader in the police station, he was still part of the team serving the people. Qin Tianxiang was very dissatisfied that such people existed within the ranks serving the people.
"Who said I would let them go? If they can scheme against us once, they will scheme against us a second time. Last time, they wanted the bean sprouts. If the child had come to our house, they might have targeted our bean sprouts again. I hate such people the most. Although I don't like scheming, I dislike being schemed against even more. Here's the plan, Brother Wang. You and Brother Pei go together to collect evidence of their childbirth. I won't say the child was picked up by Old Zhang the Scavenger. But this evidence must confirm that the child was safely born and then ruthlessly abandoned by them." Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment and had an idea. It was her first time scheming like this. To be honest, Zhu Yanyi didn't feel good about it. But if she didn't do this, Zhu Guifu's family might still bite at them. Did they really think her family were easy-to-bully pushovers? No matter what, Zhu Yanyi would not give them the chance to bully them.
