Chapter 4 — Traps for Mother-in-law

"On what basis did I let you check my phone? Do you consider me a criminal?" I nodded. "Yes." Tham Lo directly extended his hand: "Give it here." Tuong Khai Nien took a step back: "You two, don't be too much!" At that moment, police officer Co appeared at the door of the hospital room. In her hand, she held a notebook to record statements, her eyes swept across the faces of all three people. "What's so outrageous?" I pointed at Tuong Khai Nien: "Last night he may have received money from Cao Lao Tam." Tuong Khai Nien suddenly looked at me, his face immediately drained of blood. Police Officer Co is very sharp. "Mr. Tuong, please come with us on a trip to cooperate in investigating the money flow." "I don't have one!" He was frantic. "That money was what my mother told me to receive, I didn't know anything!" As soon as those words were uttered, the hospital room immediately fell silent. Tham Lo burst out laughing. I also laughed. Policeman Co's expression did not change: "Didn't you say you didn't have it just now?" Tuong Khai Nien opened his mouth and was speechless: "I... I thought you were talking about another amount of money." "What amount of money?" "Only... two thousand yuan." "Who transferred it?" "A person my mother asked me to make friends with." "What's the name of the note?" Tuong Khai Nien didn't say anymore. Policeman Co closed the statement book: "Let's go." He suddenly grabbed the hospital bed rail and shouted at me: "Hua Duong! I'm Doan Doan's father! I can't harm him!" I stood up and pulled Doan Doan's blanket a little higher. "It's not that I can't hurt him, but I just feel that even if I can't sell it, it's not serious." His face turned red: "I thought I was just bringing it to show people! My mother said the family over there "If you divorce me in the future, the child who follows you will have to suffer. It's better to find a way out for him." My blood immediately turned cold. It turns out he really knew. Don't just receive money. He knows about "bringing it up for people to see". Knowing that Ma Que Phan wanted to find a "way out" for Doan Doan. From beginning to end, he knew everything. Tham Lo raised his leg to kick, but was stopped by police officer Co. I walked up to Tuong Khai Nien, raised my hand and slapped him. The slap was very loud. The staff at the nurse's station all poked their heads to look over. My voice trembled violently but I didn't pause a single word. "Tuong Khai Nien, you brought your own child to show people the goods, but you still dare to say you're his father?" He covered his face, his eyes turning red. "I didn't expect things would turn out like this." "I didn't expect it because up until now, I've never considered my child a human being." When being taken away by police Co, he kept turning his head and calling my name. I don't look at him. Doan Doan woke up in bed, cried and began to cry. I quickly picked up my baby. The fever has subsided but his arms and legs are still soft, his small head rests on my shoulder. The throat was so hoarse from crying that only very small breathing sounds could be emitted. I patted my child's back gently, my heart aching with each beat. "It's okay, Doan Doan." "Mommy's here." "From now on, no one is allowed to touch you anymore." 7The case was investigated more deeply than I thought. Cao Lao San did not act alone. Above him there are buyers, in the middle there are drivers, below there are also people waiting at the hospital, lottery shop and mahjong shop. They like to target two types of families the most. One is the family that favors men and despises women but cannot afford to raise children. Second, families are in debt from gambling or borrowing money online. Ma Que Phan has both. The first time she contacted Cao Lao Tam was in front of a lottery store. She lost more than two thousand yuan and sat on the side of the road crying. Cao Lao Tam gave her a bottle of water and asked: "Sister, are there children in the house? There are some difficulties that can be solved in another way." From that day, she began to consider Doan Doan as a bargaining chip. She stole

birth certificate, asked about the household registration book, inquired about the time I went to work. She also said to Tuong Khai Nien: "My wife and children want a divorce. I'm not sure who the child will be given to. He is just a salaryman, raising a son will be a burden. Finding a good family for the boy is not to harm him, but to help him." Does Tuong Khai Nien object? Are not. During the conversation, he only asked one question: "How much can I give?" Cao Lao Tam replied: "First it is two thousand yuan of hard work money, after the work, I will add more." Tuong Khai Nien accepted. The day two thousand yuan was transferred to his account, he bought himself a new pair of sneakers. When I finished watching the conversation the police gave me to confirm, I suddenly remembered that day he came home wearing new shoes and blamed me: "I bought a pair of shoes and your face is so unsightly. Don't you want to see me live well?"At that time I just thought he was selfish. Unexpectedly, under the soles of those shoes, Doan Doan's life was trampled on. After being discharged from the hospital, I did not return to my old house. Tham Lo helped me rent a one-bedroom, one-living room apartment in her residential area. Second floor, good sunlight, downstairs there is an access control system. The security guard also knew Tham Lo. She patted her chest and said:
