She was robbed by the leader of the family and had three children.

Chapter 287 The Truth About the Baby

Since the Duan family had no intention of adopting the baby, Commander Huo asked Xiao Zhang to investigate the baby.

First, find out how the baby girl appeared under the holly tree outside the compound, and second, find out whether the old lady of the Qian family was involved.

It was a coincidence that when Xiao Zhang just received the task and was leaving the compound, he saw a dark figure sneaking around outside the compound wall.

At first he thought it was someone suspicious, but when he went closer he saw that it was actually the old lady from the Qian family.

I had already suspected that this old lady Qian might have something to do with the abandoned baby girl, and now seeing her sneaking around here, it looked even more suspicious.

Xiao Zhang is also a smart man. He knows that it is not a good idea to use too harsh methods to investigate such matters. If he shows up, then Old Mrs. Qian will not cooperate at all.

But the elderly like to take a walk, chat, and show off their family affairs outside!

So he paid two old ladies who were good at chatting, and asked them to contact Old Mrs. Qian and try to get her to talk.

Old Mrs. Qian came from the countryside and didn’t even graduate from a literacy class. It’s not that she didn’t attend literacy classes, she did, but she could never learn anything. After all, she was old and her brain wasn’t working well anymore.

She had limited knowledge and insights, so she had no old sisters to get along with in the compound.

She would rather sit or take a walk in the street garden outside the compound, where there are many old sisters she can talk to!

Also, because she came from a large compound, people outside would naturally look up to her, which she enjoyed very much, so she liked to come here for a stroll whenever she had time.

Xiao Zhang hired two old ladies from this area to help him get information.

He originally thought that it would take a long time to accomplish this.

After all, from contact, getting along, getting acquainted, to chatting about some private matters, and then successfully asking questions, it will take some time. It will probably take at least ten days or half a month.

So, after leaving the battlefield to the old ladies, he took the baby girl to the hospital for a check-up.

Because it is still not certain why this baby was abandoned. Maybe she was abandoned by her family because she had a congenital defect?

The examination results showed that everything was fine. The baby girl was healthy except that she was a little thin.

Because there was no one to take care of the baby, Xiao Zhang used his connections to find a family that also had a newborn. He spent some money and tickets, brought a can of milk powder, and asked the family to help take care of the baby for a few days.

As a result, just two days after he entrusted the child to the care of the elderly, on the third day the two elderly ladies with the mission came to him and said, "Young comrade! You have fulfilled your mission! Mission accomplished!"

The two old ladies looked very proud and complacent, waiting to be praised and commended!

Xiao Zhang naturally praised him a lot, and then asked about the business.

It turned out that this little baby girl was indeed abandoned by Old Lady Qian at the gate of the compound.

The guards immediately arrested old lady Qian for interrogation, and the matter soon became clear!

The Qian family's granddaughter-in-law has been married for several years, but has never been able to get pregnant and have a baby. Everyone in the family is very anxious.

Old Mrs. Qian has tried every possible way. She even stole diapers and small clothes from other people's newborns before, and used feudal superstition to pray for a child!

Well, after being exposed and educated, she stopped practicing feudal superstition.

But she changed her track and adopted someone else's child, saying that it was to provide the family with some kinship for the child and was also a way to have children.

You know what, she really did get a baby girl from somewhere.

As a result, the child was brought back, but the other members of the Qian family strongly opposed it and refused to let her stay at home no matter what.

Her son even warned her, "This is also a kind of feudal superstition! Do you want to be arrested and detained for two more days for ideological education?"

Old Mrs. Qian had originally insisted on keeping the child and raising him, but after hearing this, she didn't dare to do so. So she ran outside and threw the child under a holly tree on the side of the road when no one was paying attention!

It's strange to say, the child doesn't like to cry. Whenever Mrs. Qian goes in and out, she puts her in a portable basket covered with a blue cloth, so no one can tell that there is a baby girl inside.

The truth was revealed, but in the end the baby girl's home was never found.

Because Old Lady Qian said, "I found her at the clinic! A woman ran away after giving birth and didn't want the baby, so I brought her back! I don't even know who she belongs to!"

Since she is an abandoned baby girl, she can only be sent to an orphanage.

Xiao Zhang went to the foster home to pick up the child, and happened to meet Grandma Miao and Tong Xiu Ya who were returning from get off work.

Tong Xiu Ya recognized Xiao Zhang and was worried about Ye Shu. She wanted to ask about Ye Shu and the children, but she didn't dare to speak.

After all, Grandma Miao had lived in the compound for a long time and got along well with the guards. So when she met them, she naturally said hello.

Grandma Miao asked, "How are Ye Shu and the children now?"

Grandma Miao has no descendants, so she looks at Ye Shu like her own child, caring and taking care of him very much, and she loves the three little guys very much.

Tong Xiuya also perked up and listened attentively.

Xiao Zhang: "Captain Huo and his family returned to Island No. 3 two days ago. They are all doing well, dear."

After all, he was just a guard, and a man at that, so he spoke briefly and to the point, and if you asked more, there was nothing more to say.

Grandma Miao then asked about the baby in his arms: "Little comrade, when did you get married? Is this your baby?"

Xiao Zhang's face instantly turned red, and he quickly explained: "No, no, no, I'm not married, I don't have a partner yet!"

"This isn't my baby. Comrade Ye Shu found her. Now I can't find her family, so I'm going to send her to an orphanage!"

He was so anxious to explain that he didn't notice that the door to a nearby yard was half open and someone was looking at him from behind.

When I heard him say that he was single, my eyes lit up instantly.

As soon as Xiao Zhang finished speaking, Tong Xiuya paused, staring at the swaddling clothes in his hands with her bright eyes.

Grandma Miao seemed to have noticed something as well. She looked at her, then at the baby in Xiao Zhang's arms, as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately she didn't open her mouth.

Xiao Zhang also noticed that Tong Xiuya's expression was not right, but before he could speak, Tong Xiuya asked first: "Then, then this child, can I raise it?"

"To raise you?"

Xiao Zhang was ordered to investigate the baby's background. If the baby's original family was found, he would return the baby. If not, he would send the baby to an orphanage.

Now someone suddenly comes out and says he wants to support her. This... he has no say in the matter!

Seeing Tong Xiuya like this, Grandma Miao felt distressed, so she helped to speak:

"Comrade Xiao Zhang, could you please ask the commander for instructions? Even if we send this child to an orphanage, he'll still have to be adopted by someone in the end."

Tong Xiuya nodded repeatedly: "I will definitely treat her well, she will be my biological daughter from now on!"

For Ye Shu's sake, she would never tell the truth about her life.

If she could raise this child, she would be her only child from now on!
