"Was the injury on the little kid's stomach also caused by an accidental kick?" a more experienced policeman asked sharply.
"I...I...I don't know."
"I probably accidentally bumped her stomach when I fell. I didn't mean to, really, officers, please believe me, I really didn't mean to."
"That child was really naughty, so I disciplined her a little. I didn't expect her to bump into my stomach."
"It caused me to give birth prematurely. I almost died last night. I...I..."
As Chen Yulian spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and she cried out in grievance.
She was really wronged.
I felt both wronged and heartbroken.
She never expected that Qiao Changdong could go to such lengths.
He actually called the police!
Is this an attempt to drive her to her death?
Are you completely disregarding any sentimentality?
She only gave birth to his one child!
She was at her weakest point; how could he do this to her!
"Premature birth? You're saying the baby bumped into you, causing you to be born prematurely?"
"Yes."
"Given birth a few months prematurely."
“Two…two and a half months.” Chen Xiu’e, who was standing to the side, finally found a chance to speak and immediately said indignantly, “The child was born when she was only seven and a half months old. What a tragedy!”
Upon hearing this, the policewoman who was taking a statement walked to the baby's wooden crib and glanced inside.
She looked at Chen Yulian, whose complexion was rosy, with some surprise: "This doesn't look like a premature baby. How much did she weigh at birth?"
The policewoman herself had given birth to two children, so while she wouldn't say she knew everything, she did have some basic knowledge.
First of all, Michelle Chen was in very good condition, with a rosy complexion, and did not look like she had been hit or was in difficult labor after being knocked down.
Secondly, the baby doesn't look like it's seven and a half months old, or that it was premature.
Judging from her figure, she must weigh about eight or nine pounds.
People nowadays generally have poor living conditions, and even full-term births rarely result in newborns this heavy.
"The baby weighs nine pounds and two ounces..." Chen Yulian was feeling guilty under the policewoman's gaze and had even forgotten to cry when Chen Xiu'e answered for her.
She was still somewhat angry, and her words were full of resentment towards the Qiao family.
"Officer, would we lie? This child was premature. It's my sister's good fortune that she was able to be born safely. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened to her."
She wanted to curse Qiao Changdong a few more times, but she swallowed the words back, afraid that these policemen would go back and repeat what Meng Zhengcheng said, and that it would reach the Qiao family's ears, which would be bad.
After all, they don't have the confidence to challenge the Qiao family right now.
After the police left, Chen Yulian was still in a daze, and her unease grew even stronger.
Chen Xiu'e was still angry and went to the other side to confront Qiao Changdong.
However, the hospital informed them that Qiao Changdong had already taken Qiao Qiao home and taken her to a hospital in the provincial capital.
Grandma Qiao also returned to Qiaojia Village.
They seem to be acting like a hands-off manager, not caring about anything.
As for Qiao Xiaoyun, Chen Yulian only dared to stand up to her because she was pregnant with her son.
Now that her son has become a girl, she feels less confident and doesn't dare to approach Qiao Xiaoyun anymore.
After all, not to mention that Qiao Xiaoyun herself is strong-willed, her husband's family's status and position in Hongfeng Town are not something she can afford to offend now.
——
It takes more than seven or eight hours to drive from Hongfeng Town to the Provincial Hospital in Baoyi City, and it becomes even more difficult to drive at night.
At 7:30, Qiao Changdong stopped at a familiar restaurant to eat.
However, the couple traveling with them said they didn't need to eat; they bought a bag of multigrain steamed buns at the hospital cafeteria at noon.
Qiao Changdong knew that their conditions were limited, so he did not force them.
He simply carried Qiao Qiao out of the car and said to them, "Okay, you don't have to go down to eat. You can go down to use the restroom or get some hot water at the shop. I'll take my daughter to eat first, and we'll continue our journey in about an hour."
At first, Qiao Qiao was still thinking about Fu Yu when she got on the bus, but later, as she was swaying and bumping along the way, she unconsciously fell asleep.
He was still a little dazed when Qiao Changdong pulled him out of the blanket.
Jiaojiao nuzzled her little head against his neck and called out "Daddy" twice in a soft voice.
Qiao Changdong looked down at his beloved daughter's face with affection, but didn't wake her up. Instead, he carried her directly into the restaurant.
He's been driving a lot these past two years, and most of the restaurant owners along this national highway know him.
Upon learning that he was rushing to take someone to the provincial hospital for treatment, they politely prepared a meal for him in advance.
When Qiao Qiao was being held and fed by him, she was almost fully awake.
She twisted off Qiao Changdong's arms, sat obediently to the side, and ate with a spoon from her small bowl.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the couple who had gotten out of their car, but one of them was still standing by the car while the other went to the restroom.
She seemed determined to keep an eye on the young man in the car at all times, and waved to Qiao Changdong.
"Dad, that uncle and the little brother don't have the same last name," she said in a low voice.
Qiao Changdong was wiping the rice grains from the corner of her mouth with his thumb when he heard this, and frowned: "Did that young man tell you his name?"
Qiao Qiao blinked; she wanted to say that the young man's name was Fu Yu.
But when he opened his mouth, he couldn't utter those two words.
It's infuriating!
Qiao Qiao puffed out her cheeks and angrily kicked her short legs in mid-air.
The laws of this world are so annoying!
But what she didn't know was that while she couldn't say it, tiny bubbles were rising on her forehead.
The little figure inside was holding a large calligraphy brush, embracing it, and floating in mid-air, writing and scribbling for a while before finally managing to write out two characters that were considered obscure to her, who had only completed the third grade in her previous life.
Qiao Changdong stared at the tiny figure on her forehead, who had been busy making corrections and revisions several times before finally finishing writing two words.
After finishing writing, she breathlessly dropped the large calligraphy brush in her arms, stretched out her little arms and legs, and lay down, looking utterly exhausted.
He couldn't stop smiling.
"Hahaha, my darling, you're so cute! Hahahaha..."
Qiao Changdong pulled his little daughter, who was stunned by his laughter, into a hug and gave her a big kiss.
I just think his daughter is so incredibly cute, I can't get enough of kissing her.
"???" Qiao Qiao.
The little figure inside the bubble tilted its head and cast a bewildered look at him.
She didn't understand what she had done to make her dad so happy.
After Qiao Changdong had finished laughing, he leaned closer to examine the two characters more closely.
“Fu Yu…” he read aloud.
"!!!" Qiao Qiao.
His eyes widened suddenly.
She looked at her father in disbelief.
How did her dad know?
