The little girl's face was dirty, and they didn't know what she had put on herself, which made them even more curious.
Why does this child look a bit worn out? Aren't all children these days pampered little princesses? How come this child is so dirty, like a little lump of coal?
"Grandma said there would be candy, so I came in," the little girl said with a giggle, blinking her big, bright eyes.
What the heck? She just let me in because she said there was candy? This grandma's got some nerve; how could she not even realize her child was gone?
"Do you know where Grandma is? Auntie will take you to find Mom, okay?"
[Damn it, what's the point of looking? This child was just thrown out by his grandmother!]
[This grandma actually intended for her to get lost, but unexpectedly, she ended up here.]
Other guests present:??
What the heck? This child was actually thrown out by his own grandmother? Seriously? In broad daylight, would anyone really abandon their own child?
They exchanged a glance, their confusion deepening.
For the first time, they began to doubt Song Shiwei's true feelings.
How could a grandmother possibly abandon her own granddaughter? Even tigers don't eat their cubs.
That's utter nonsense, it's impossible.
Did Song Shiwei eat the wrong melon? That's why she said the child was abandoned by the grandmother.
After all, there aren't many people these days who would abandon their own child.
Could it be that they just happened to have a child who was abandoned by his grandmother?
The little girl shrank back violently when she heard that she was going to find her grandmother, and her eyes became extremely frightened. "I... I don't know, Auntie, I'm a little sleepy, I want to sleep."
After saying that, the little girl rubbed her eyes and said wearily.
"Auntie, can I go to sleep?" After the little girl finished speaking, she glanced timidly at Yu Chen and the others, and unconsciously ran into Song Shiwei's arms.
Song Shiwei was so startled when such a big child suddenly appeared in her arms that she could barely speak.
[Nobody understands, how did this baby suddenly jump into my arms?! I! Ahhh, I'm scared!]
[That grandmother is truly heartless! What reason could she possibly have to abandon this child? Look at his pitiful state.]
Yu Chen turned to look at Song Shiwei, then glanced at the other two, his eyes turning cold.
Something's not right, something really isn't right. What child wouldn't want to go home?
Could it really be as Song Shiwei said, that the child was abandoned by his family?
So everyone's expression changed, and even the audience gradually realized what was going on.
{This child has been playing here all day, aren't their family members coming to look for them?}
{Hmm! I have a feeling there's some kind of conspiracy going on here?}
{I immediately sensed there was some conspiracy involved, otherwise why would this child answer like that?}
{I suddenly felt that there was definitely something wrong with this grandmother; otherwise, why would she leave a young girl alone outside for so long?}
The netizens, like Holmes, began their deductions again, while the four people in the Gossip Courtyard, also took a look and sensed that something was amiss.
Song Shiwei was forced into the task, holding the little girl and gently coaxing her. After forty minutes, she finally got the little girl to sleep and then carried her to Yu Chen's room.
Yu Chen's room originally had two beds. One was originally meant for Hua Tianyu, but now that scumbag has moved in and is sleeping on the communal bed, it's perfect for this little girl to sleep in.
After settling the little girl in, she walked out with a serious expression. Just then, she turned to a page in the Gossip Compendium, and the person in charge was so angry that she trembled and started cursing loudly.
[This old hag didn't actually want to abandon her granddaughter; she wanted the child to die here.]
[This little girl isn't their biological child either; she adopted her. Her daughter-in-law is pregnant now, and the old woman had other ideas. So, after plotting for many days, she finally tricked the little girl into coming over under the guise of visiting her in the hospital the day before yesterday.]
[She originally intended to abandon the child in a well on the mountain, but after searching for a long time without finding one, and fearing she might fall in herself, she simply left the child on the mountain and ran away.]
[This child has been starving on the mountain for two or three days, no wonder he's so dirty. But he's lucky; he managed to run all the way from one side of the mountain to the other, and even picked up a dusty cornbread bun from the roadside.]
[Luckily, there were some leftover snacks from when we were eating watermelon in the Gossip Courtyard, otherwise this kid would have fainted from hunger.]
Song Shiwei's inner monologue sent a chill down everyone's spine, and anger flashed in their eyes.
Was this child deliberately taken out and abandoned?
They couldn't believe that such a cute little girl would be thrown out.
But now they seem to believe it a little: the child was adopted, and now that their daughter-in-law is pregnant and has her own child, they naturally don't want someone else's child anymore.
But this old hag had no reason to bring the person out and abandon them, especially leaving them on the mountain. Isn't that tantamount to murder?
As they thought this, a chill began to run down their spines, and a bad premonition crept into her heart.
[That old hag just wants to use this child to make her daughter-in-law give birth to a boy. She heard about a folk remedy: if a girl carrying her daughter-in-law's birth date and time and a talisman falls into a well, it will scare the girl away and ensure her daughter-in-law gives birth to a boy.]
The crowd who heard Song Shiwei thoughts:????
What kind of person would want to kill this baby just to have a son?!
They exploded instantly!! What feudalistic cancer, what a lunatic!
