Chapter 3 — Tieu Man Returns

At that time, the evidence was still incomplete, the police could only bring her back to take a statement first, then ask her to wait for further investigation. Before leaving the hospital, she turned to look at me. Those eyes no longer hid anything. As if telling me that this game is not over yet. 5After Tong Xuan Mai was temporarily suspended from working at our house, the family was finally quiet for a few days. The sister was discharged from the hospital. Grandma went to the hospital to get new medicine and took a photo of the lot code of each box. Mom arranged my eating, sleeping and crying times into a table. Mom discovered a very clear rule. When Tong Xuan Mai was still here, every day I cried seven or eight times for no reason. After she left, I only cried when I was hungry or when I peed my diaper. Dad looked at that statistical table and was silent for a long time. "It's because you place so much importance on so-called expertise that you don't even listen to what your family members say." But it's not over yet. The local maternal and newborn care association holds an annual service poll. Initially, Tong Xuan Mai will receive the "Nanny most trusted by the homeowner" award right at the scene. The investigation was still inconclusive so the association refused to disqualify her. On the day of the award ceremony, an interview clip was spread online. Tong Xuan Mai sat in front of the camera, crying until her eyes were red and puffy. She said she devotedly took care of the Hua family, but just because the child mistakenly drank the elder's medicine, she was falsely accused by the female owner, who was mentally unstable after giving birth. She didn't say her mother's name, but in the image appeared our house number and the back of my sister as she was taken to the ambulance. Netizens quickly recognized us. "If something happens to a rich family, they will take the nanny out to take the blame." "Taking care of pregnant women is the most difficult. The homeowner is depressed and won't even admit it." "The gold-class nanny has been in the profession for twenty years. If he really wanted to harm people, it would have happened a long time ago." The phone at Dad's store was dead. Mom stayed up even more all night. The next day, my mother changed her clothes and carried me to the award ceremony scene. Dad and grandmother couldn't stop them, they could only follow along. Tong Xuan Mai stood on stage. The host gave her a trophy with the words "Twenty years like one day, using love to protect thousands of families." Seeing us, her eyes immediately turned red. "Miss Lam, I don't blame you." "You just gave birth, you can't control yourself. As long as An An is okay, what's the point of me suffering a little injustice?"Someone under the stage applauded. Someone also raised their phone to film their mother. Mom's hands started shaking. I leaned on my mother's breast and did not cry. Mom bowed her head and looked at me. I opened my eyes wide and silently looked at my mother. Mother's hand gradually stabilized. "Tong Xuan Mai, I didn't come here today to argue with you." "I came to ask the association, why can a person who has been complained by two employer families in his real name still be considered a gold-class nanny?" The applause under the stage immediately stopped. Tong Xuan Mai's face changed. The host hastily explained that the association had never received a valid complaint. Mom took out two copies of printed documents. Those are the two former owners' families that Dad found after tracing Tong Xuan Mai's work history. The elderly person in a family suddenly passed away after taking medicine. The remaining family's pregnant mother still has to continue psychological treatment even though Tong Xuan Mai has been gone for half a year. Tong Xuan Mai laughed coldly. "Can someone in the employer's family get sick and blame it on the nanny?" "Lam Tinh, your illness is more serious than I thought." She stepped off the stage, reaching out to carry me. "Normally Tieu Man is still

Always under my care. Just let me hold the boy for a while, everyone will know if I abuse children or not." As soon as her hand touched my blanket, I immediately cried until my whole body trembled. The chatter on the stage faded a bit. My sister suddenly stood in front of me. "Don't touch my little brother." "I was the one who made you drink that glass of water." Tong Xuan Mai looked at her, her eyes turned cold. "If a child is instigated by an adult, anything can be said. "At that moment, Dad walked up to the stage. Dad did not accept the microphone that the host brought. He placed a transparent evidence bag next to the trophy. Inside was the missing cartoon cup. 6 Dad held up the evidence bag under the light, recreating more than forty seconds of the cup disappearing right at the scene. Only then did I know that Dad had reconnected each piece of the broken clue. After discovering that Tong Xuan Mai had returned home alone for more than forty seconds seconds, my father immediately asked the management to keep the entry and exit history and cameras at the garage. In the image of entering and exiting, when she left, she held a gray work bag at the garage exit, showing that Tong Hao's car was parked in the emergency exit.
