Chapter 61: The Dead Baby Girl I (Part 1)

Ding Miaofang breathed a sigh of relief after watching the old lady fall asleep and quietly closed the door.

When she walked out of the apartment building, her pace quickened. An old lady was so anxious that when she saw Ding Miaofang, her eyes lit up, “Come on. Xiao Ding, come here.”

Old Lady Ye’s hair was already full of white hair. When she was young, she was a cadre of the Women’s Federation. She was very active when she was doing things. In her old age, that kind of vigorous energy was still in her body.

It was also for this reason that she couldn’t sit still at all. Even when she was dancing in the square, she was the most beautiful old lady. The square dance team she managed did not disturb the people and abided by the rules. It was well-known.

Old Lady Ye encountered a troublesome thing some time ago. When she was praying for her daughter Sasa’s marriage, she heard what Ding Miaofang’s mother-in-law said.

[Fox Fairy, please bless us, bless our family for a good match. In the past, I followed the old method in the village to prevent the girl from reincarnating into my belly. I succeeded that time. This time, I beg you again, please bless me to have a successful match, preferably with my daughter-in-law. She doesn’t have to go to work anyway and has nothing to do. She doesn’t need two, one is enough. I still want to see my grandson marry a wife and continue the bloodline of our Dong family.]

After saying this, Old Lady Sun, Ding Miaofang’s mother-in-law, kowtowed deeply to the Fox Fairy.

There was nothing wrong when people heard someone praying, but as a person who loves gossip, Old Lady Ye was shocked when she heard such a thing.

The village where Old Lady Sun used to live was extremely patriarchal. There was a custom in the village to bury the baby girl on the road and let thousands of people trample on it so that the baby girl who was about to reincarnate would be scared and not reincarnate into their own family.

Would Old Lady Sun use this method? Did she kill a baby girl? And then do this?

Old Lady Ye worked in the Women’s Federation and had seen the evil in the world, and knew that this kind of thing was very likely to happen.

After thinking about it, Old Lady Ye quietly found Ding Miaofang and asked Ding Miaofang if she had ever had a daughter.

It turned out that Ding Miaofang had a child, and it was a girl.

However, Ding Miaofang told Old Lady Ye at the time that after the child was born, she was fine at first, but then she suddenly couldn’t drink milk. She took the child to the hospital for examination. They said that the child choked on milk at night and it entered the lungs. They didn’t find it early, so they had to give him an injection for treatment.

The blood vessels on the child’s hands were too thin, so only the forehead could be pierced. At that time, Ding Miaofang saw the cold blood entering her child’s forehead, and she was very distressed. She hoped that the child would get better soon. Who knew that the child didn’t get better after the injection, but her face turned purple, and the child suffocated to death.

The hospital issued a death certificate, which means that the child’s body was sent to the crematorium, and after cremation, the urn was buried.

When Old Lady Ye heard Ding Miaofang say that the body had been cremated, although she felt bad for Ding Miaofang, she was relieved immediately: “Then it’s okay, I thought too much.”

It was a normal death, and it was cremated, so there was no way anything else could have happened.

Ding Miaofang was still frowning, but Old Ladt Ye said: “Don’t take it to heart, it might just be a coincidence, it’s good that you have a son now. I heard the other day that the old lady was begging to live longer, to see her grandson get married and continue the bloodline.”

Old Lady Ye, who loves gossip, also knows something that her neighbors don’t know, Ding Miaofang’s son was not her own, but an unwanted child adopted by the old lady from the next village.

In Old Lady Ye’s opinion, being able to raise the child she picked up like her real grandson, Old Lady Sun looked cruel, but, she might just be hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and she was kind at heart. After all, most people would not do such a thing as killing a child.

Ding Miaofang nodded at the time and told Old Lady Ye that she would not think too much about it, but she was still affected by this incident after she went back. She had a dream all night and thought of many old things.

Her mother-in-law favored boys over girls. When she was pregnant, she kept saying that eating sour food was for boys and spicy food was for girls, so she kept giving Ding Miaofang sour food.

Ding Miaofang didn’t want to eat sour food, so the old lady cried, made a fuss, and threatened to hang herself. In the end, Ding Miaofang had no choice but to eat sour food. The old lady kept saying that it must be a son in her belly.

When the daughter was delivered later, the disappointment in the mother-in-law’s eyes was overflowing. She left the hospital directly on the spot. She came back the next day, but she was very impatient to take care of her.

But when her daughter was sick, her mother-in-law became patient and treated her much better.

When the child died, Ding Miaofang was still in confinement. Her mother-in-law did all the cleaning work such as episiotomy wounds every day, and there were fresh eggs every day. The mother-in-law, who favored boys over girls, also stewed chicken soup every day, and gave both chicken legs to Ding Miaofang, not letting her son eat them.

Ding Miaofang also thought of an old story, her eldest sister-in-law was a doctor in this hospital before she became a full-time housewife.

Now, Ding Miaofang felt creepy about what old lady Ye said. Did her mother-in-law kill her daughter? So she was especially good to her, otherwise, why did the old lady who favored boys over girls treat her so well during that time?

There was another thing that also made Ding Miaofang very concerned.

Ding Miaofang had a uterine fibroid surgery, and her uterus was removed. She had no children of her own. After she could not have children, the old lady didn’t let her divorce but picked up a child and brought it back, saying that she would raise it as a child of the Dong Family.

Because she didn’t have her children, Ding Miaofang treated this child very well. In the past, people said that this child looked like her husband, but she didn’t take it seriously. After all, she thought that the children were similar. When she sorted out old photos some time ago, she found that this child looked exactly like her husband when he was a child.

The child she picked up looks exactly like her husband. Old Lady Ye also said that, and Grandma Sun said the words “Continue the bloodline”. Could this child be the son of her late husband?

Especially since her late husband was indeed a philanderer.

Ding Miaofang went to find Old Lady Ye with this guess, which surprised Old Lady Ye. “I heard people say that Old Lady Sun is very kind to this grandson to continue the bloodline of the Dong Family. Although he was adopted, she still treated him like her own grandson. So… is this child her grandson?”

Ding Miaofang knelt to Old Lady Ye: “Please, you are a cadre of the Women’s Federation, specializing in women’s liberation work, please tell me what to do.”

Old Lady Ye has worked in the Women’s Federation for a lifetime, but she doesn’t know what to do in this matter. It happened that Old Lady Ye’s daughter recommended an anchor to her, [Fairy Yaoguang].

After watching a live broadcast of how she cooperated with the Capital Public Security Bureau, Old Lady Ye immediately concluded that this person must be working with the official to solve strange cases.

Old Lady Ye has been paying attention to this Fairy Yaoguang. When she found out that the live broadcast would start at noon today, she immediately called Ding Miaofang. After taking care of her mother-in-law, Ding Miaofang went to Old Lady Ye’s home.

Ding Miaofang entered Old Lady Ye’s house. Old Lady Ye’s house was bright and clean. Her daughter, Shu Yingsa, put on light makeup and put out her high heels. It was obvious that she was going out.
