Chapter 238 My Mother is a Fortune Teller 23
In the residential compound of the waterworks in XX County, Zhao Yinfeng watched her grandson Liu Xiaopang playing with other children in the yard. She sat in the shade by the flower bed, chatting with a group of her old friends.
"Yinfeng, how is your granddaughter? Is she still crying? Have you gone to see the sorceress from Lujia Village that we talked about last time?"
"I went there yesterday, and I don't know how things are now?"
"Sigh! You're so kind-hearted."
Xinglin's family also had a daughter, and the whole family disliked her.
When the child cries, they just throw him on the ground and let him cry, and the child's own mother doesn't care.
That's why I say, in our courtyard, Yin Feng is the kindest and best mother-in-law.
Your two daughters-in-law are incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful mother-in-law like you. They must have been blessed in their past lives.
"Haha! Boys and girls are the same, I treat them equally."
Zhao Yinfeng smiled as she bid farewell to her old friends, but her face fell the moment she turned around.
Upon entering the house, he saw his youngest son, Liu Zhijun, sitting on a stool, smoking alone with his head down, and he immediately became furious.
"Why is Xiuzhi back at her parents' house again? Aren't you going to do anything about it? Look at the state of your house! Wait until she comes next time, and I'll teach her a lesson."
"By the way, where's that wretched girl, Ruan Ruan?"
"Xiuzhi took her to the countryside to find some kind of shaman, and after returning, she went straight back to her parents' home."
After taking a drag of his cigarette, Liu Zhijun said in a muffled voice.
"You good-for-nothing, you can't even manage a wife and kids, and I, an old woman, have to worry about you at this age."
By the way, how did your last physical exam go? It's been two years, that's about time, you two should have another one.
If I get pregnant this time, it will definitely be a son.
"Grandma, I want more cookies!"
Liu Xiaopang crashed into Zhao Yinfeng's arms like a cannonball, knocking the old woman backward as she was talking. Even so, Zhao Yinfeng still chuckled and praised him:
"Oh my, my grandson is so strong! If you want some cookies, Grandma will get them for you. Eat more so you can grow strong and healthy."
Liu Zhijun glanced at it; the box of cookies was the one his wife had brought over last week.
On the balcony, the older brother and the old man were playing chess.
In the kitchen, the eldest sister-in-law was busy picking vegetables.
Just then, a jumble of footsteps and voices came from outside.
"This is it, officer!"
The half-open door was pushed open, and two policemen appeared in the doorway, followed by a group of people from the waterworks' residential compound.
Is Zhao Yinfeng here?
The policeman stood at the door with a serious expression and sternly questioned Liu Zhijun, who had stood up in surprise.
"Officer, what happened? Why are you looking for my mother?"
Liu Zhijun asked in utter surprise.
"We need her to assist in the investigation of a case!"
Both Liu Yimin, the eldest son, and the old man on the balcony stood up, stopped playing chess, and hurried into the living room.
"What's going on?"
Zhao Yinfeng, who was in the bedroom, heard the noise and came out.
The police noticed her immediately and glared at her, shouting:
Is it Zhao Yinfeng?
"Yes, it's me, officers. What do you want with me?"
Zhao Yinfeng looked surprised and puzzled.
The police officer looked her over carefully and said in a stern tone:
"Come on! We need your cooperation in an investigation. Come with us."
The police were also unaware of such a horrifying incident for the first time, especially after seeing the hospital's diagnosis, which revealed 13 embroidery needles scattered throughout the body.
Some parts are difficult to access, especially the brain, where a single mistake could be life-threatening.
The first surgery only removes tissue from relatively easy-to-access areas; further consultation with specialists is needed to discuss the treatment plan.
Moreover, another difficulty in the surgery is determining the location, because the embroidery needle moves around inside the girl's body. If the location is not accurately determined, the surgery will cause great harm to the girl's body.
The issue of infection later on is also a challenge.
When the police watched the video, they were horrified to see the 13 embroidery needles of various shapes, some upright, some horizontal, some diagonal, distributed on different parts of the body.
He was even more furious after hearing Li Xiuzhi say that superstitious thing.
How can there still be such ignorant and malicious people nowadays?
Moreover, she is the child's biological grandmother, and the child's father is also highly suspected of knowing about it but not reporting it.
"What case? What law have I broken? How can you arrest people without any reason?"
Zhao Yinfeng's eyes widened, and she angrily shouted.
"Exactly, officer, what law did my mother break?"
The Liu family members all stood up and blocked the police's path.
The residents of the water plant's family compound all gathered around and crowded at the entrance to watch the excitement.
The policeman took one look and sneered, "You're asking for it, aren't you!"
Alright, today I'll make you famous.
"Comrade Zhao Yinfeng, do you know why your granddaughter cries incessantly every day?"
"Why...why?"
Zhao Yinfeng's heart skipped a beat. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to remain calm as she asked.
Actually, she's been wondering to herself these past few days if it might be because of the needle.
Behind the younger daughter-in-law's back, the family members were discussing in private whether it was because she had been pricked with too many needles.
But the younger daughter-in-law went to see the doctor several times, but they couldn't find anything wrong with her.
They gradually relaxed.
When the police suddenly showed up at her door today, and their attitude was so stern, Zhao Yinfeng's heart started pounding.
No, if even the county hospital can't find anything, what could the police possibly know?
"Because your granddaughter has 13 embroidery needles stuck in her body, and she is currently in emergency treatment at the Provincial People's Hospital. If things don't go well, she might lose her life."
The police officer stared intently at her and spoke loudly and sternly.
Zhao Yinfeng's pupils contracted sharply, her body trembled, and her lips quivered as she said:
"This...how is this possible?"
The policeman narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Zhao Yinfeng.
Judging from the suspect's behavior, he already knew the answer.
It really was her. You can't judge a book by its cover; she's got a vicious heart.
When I arrived earlier, I asked the people in the water plant's residential compound for directions. They said that Zhao Yinfeng was a very kind-hearted mother-in-law who was rare in that she didn't discriminate against girls.
The staff at the neighborhood office are even planning to nominate Zhao Yinfeng as this year's most beautiful mother-in-law!
But the truth is quite the opposite.
Looking at the rest of the Liu family, they all avoided eye contact after seeing the police's gaze.
Liu Zhijun, the child's biological father, in particular, lowered his head and dared not look at anyone.
Hmph! They're truly worse than animals!
This whole family is worthless.
"Alright, your daughter-in-law, Comrade Li Xiuzhi, has accused you of sticking an embroidery needle into your granddaughter's vein. Come on! Come back with us to cooperate with the investigation!"
"No...no...that's not how it is, you must have made a mistake...I didn't...."
Zhao Yinfeng shuddered, her body lurching backward as she stammered incoherently.
"This can't be! It can't be, officer, this must be a misunderstanding... This is the child's biological grandmother. Besides, even if this were true..."
This is our family's own business, no need to trouble the police officers..."
The Liu family members, shameless as ever, began to step forward and explain.
The crowd watching the commotion at the entrance erupted in a frenzy.
What the hell?
Zhao Yinfeng, who claimed to be the most beautiful mother-in-law, actually stuck steel needles into her own granddaughter's veins.
My God! That's outrageous!
Why is she doing this?
Even if you dislike your granddaughter, you shouldn't do this!
So vicious.
The police officers grew impatient, grabbed Zhao Yinfeng's arms, and took her away.
The Liu family members followed behind, unwilling to give up, and kept explaining.
We are a family, and we'll handle this behind closed doors.
After the police left, the entire residential compound was in an uproar.
Those who had been constantly being trampled on by Zhao Yinfeng were overjoyed.
He cursed, spitting everywhere:
"What else could it be? To have a son! You're worse than an animal. And you think you can be voted the most beautiful mother-in-law? Dream on!"
Finally, an elderly woman revealed in public why Zhao Yinfeng had done this.
When everyone heard the claim that if a woman gave birth to a daughter as her first child, pricking her with a needle would scare away the female ghost that came to be reincarnated, thus ensuring that the next child would be a boy, they were all stunned.
I felt a tingling sensation on my scalp and goosebumps all over my body.
