Chapter 7 — Traps for Mother-in-law

"I was just confused for a moment. I really didn't want to harm the baby. I thought the other side was a good family, the baby would be happy when he got there. My daughter-in-law argued with me every day, she didn't take good care of the baby. I also just wanted the best for my grandson."The prosecutor presented transaction videos, chats, cash and Cao Lao Tam's testimony. Cao Lao Tam spoke very clearly: "She knew the baby would be sold to another place, and she also knew she wouldn't be able to get a legal household registration in the future. She just asked when the money would be transferred to the account." Ma Que Phan immediately collapsed. "That's not true! He lied to me! He said he could do the paperwork!" The prosecutor asked: "Why didn't you go through a legal adoption organization?" She couldn't answer. "Why did you accept cash?" She still didn't answer. okay. "Why do you ask the other person to pay thirty thousand yuan in advance?" She cried even louder: "I owe money! Debt collectors block the door every day! I have no choice!" I sat below, listening until my whole body felt cold. There's no way. These four words are easy to use. There was no other way to owe money, so he sold his nephew. Afraid that there was no other way to go to jail, so he pretended to be deceived. The son was investigated and had no choice, so he blamed the daughter-in-law for being too cruel. But what way does Doan Doan have to do? My baby is only eight months old, he can't even talk yet. Tuong Khai Nien sat in the defendant's chair on the other side. He doesn't cry like his mother. He bowed his head, his face as gray as a damp wall. Ultimately, his crime was not as the mastermind of child trafficking, but as an accomplice who facilitated and received the money. In the conversation, on the night of the incident, he said to Ma Que Phan: "She's cooking tonight, mom just take the baby. At first she won't dare to make a fuss." When that sentence was read, I closed my eyes. It turned out that that day, it wasn't just a matter of convenience that he asked me to cook dinner. It's coordination. He knew Ma Guifen wanted to take the baby away. He even correctly calculated that I had a weak personality, thinking that I didn't dare to make a fuss. But he didn't calculate that I was soft enough. While the court was on break, Tuong Khai Nien looked at me across the aisle. "Hua Duong, I was wrong. I really didn't know they would give me drugs." I finally turned my head to look at him. "I knew they would take me away." He choked on his words. I said: "That's enough." On the day of sentencing, I did not take Doan Doan with me. I'm afraid my child will hear Ma Que Phan's voice again. Ma Guifen was sentenced to eight years and six months in prison. Cao Lao Tam was involved in many child trafficking cases, so he was given a heavier sentence. Chiang Khai Nien was sentenced to three years in prison. When he heard “three years”, his legs became weak and he almost knelt down. He turned his head to look for me, with fear, regret and even a bit of resentment in his eyes. I know what he complains about. He resented me for not protecting myself, resented me for reporting him to the police. Resentful that I handed over too much evidence. But I won't continue to clean up the aftermath for anyone else. When being led away by the judicial police, he suddenly shouted: "Hua Duong! Later, when Doan Doan asked his father where he was going, how would you answer?" I stood up and calmly looked at him. "I will say that his father almost sold him for two thousand yuan." His face turned pale. "You can't teach the child like that!" "Then don't do something like that." The courtroom door closed. The rain has stopped. Tham Lo stood outside waiting for me, holding an umbrella in his hand. "Is the verdict announced?" "Yes." "Are you gloating?" I shook my head. "No." Tham Lo was stunned. I looked at the gray sky reflected in the puddle under the steps and slowly said: "I'm glad that before she could strike, I was able to control her. Now the child has to suffer, even though she was sentenced to death."

No matter how many years the sentence has passed, I still don't feel happy." Tham Lo was silent for a few seconds then put his hand on my shoulder. "Then let Doan Doan live a little better in the future." I nodded. "Yes." 10 After that, I sold the old house. The post-marital assets were evaluated and divided. A part of the money belonging to Tuong Khai Nien was frozen by the court to pay for medical treatment, psychological intervention and future alimony for Doan Doan. I used my part of the money to buy a house. Small two-bedroom apartment near Tham Lo's residential area. But the door locks are new, the windows are also equipped with protective nets. Doan Doan has his own small room with stars on the wall. On his first birthday, he invited Tham Lo to dinner. The birthday cake was very small and the frosting was uneven. But Doan was so happy He grabbed the cream and applied it to his face, laughing until he was drooling. Tham Lo picked up the phone and dialed: "Handsome guy, look at me." Doan Doan raised his hand to her: "Auntie!" Tham Lo immediately went crazy with joy. "Did you hear that? He called me aunt before!" I rolled my eyes: "The other day he called his slippers dad." Everyone laughed.
