Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Reconnaissance and Investigation

Wang Pandi watched her throw a tantrum and lose her mind, standing there with a dark face the whole time and naturally not following.

She tightly held Yang Qingwen’s hand, while Yang Qingwen clung to Wang Pandi’s leg, with one hand tightly grasping the hem of her pants, obviously scared.

Seeing those people walk away, Wang Pandi frowned and pressed her lips tightly, speaking in a stiff tone, “Sweetie, they’re gone, let’s go home…”

She wasn’t in a good mood, and when she lifted her foot, she found Yang Qingwen almost glued to her feet. How could she walk properly like that, easy to trip.

“Sweetie, let go of mommy’s pant leg, we need to hurry home to make dinner, your dad will be back soon.” Wang Pandi said with negativity, and her tone was not gentle. She immediately took her hand to rush home. The sudden movement scared Yang Qingwen into crying.

Yang Qingwen burst into tears, startling Wang Pandi. Then she was filled with guilt and quickly squatted down to check on her, “Sweetie, what’s wrong? Why are you crying? Huh?”

Wang Pandi hugged her daughter to comfort her, while Yang Qingwen sobbed pitifully, “Mommy, I’m scared…”

“Don’t be afraid, we’re not afraid, mommy is here…” Wang Pandi was extremely distressed, only thinking that it was Zhang Hongfang that scared her earlier. She didn’t realize that her own bad mood had also affected Yang Qingwen, making her even more hateful towards Zhang Hongfang.

She picked up Yang Qingwen with a stern face and walked back, with Yang Qingwen laying on her shoulder, occasionally sobbing.

This delayed them, so when Yang Zhigang arrived home, Wang Pandi’s dinner wasn’t ready yet.

“Pandi, sweetie, I’m back…” Yang Zhigang cheerfully pushed open the door, expecting the usual big and small hug, but instead, the atmosphere at home was particularly depressing today.

The sound of cooking came from the kitchen, along with Wang Pandi’s voice, “Sit down for a bit, dinner is not ready yet…”

Listening to her words, Yang Zhigang had already walked to the kitchen door. He saw his wife busy with everything in order, while their usually lively little daughter sat on a small stool against the kitchen wall, accompanying Wang Pandi, but her face, usually always smiling, was now missing the smile and had tear marks.

“What’s going on, why is little sweetie crying? Not happy?” Yang Zhigang hesitantly asked, with some thoughts rising in his mind, suspecting if the little sweetie had been naughty and got scolded by her mom. If that was the case, he couldn’t just spoil her and had to support his wife.

Wang Pandi had just finished frying a dish, turned off the stove, threw down the spatula, leaned against the stove, and said, “What else could it be, she was bullied by others.”

Yang Zhigang was holding his daughter to comfort her, noticing his wife was not happy either. He quickly asked, “What happened? Who bullied you? Tell me, I’ll seek justice for you.”

Wang Pandi was feeling grievance too, and seeing him say that, she immediately recounted today’s events to Yang Zhigang in detail, and while talking, she also started to cry.

She hadn’t suffered such frustration in a long time, and this time she was really aggrieved. The points of attack from the other party hurt her deeply.

“Why does she have the right to say that about me, and besides, what does it matter to her whether I have a son or not, that bitch… She can’t stand to see me happy after getting married…” Wang Pandi was so angry she lost control of her words, “What’s more, she even falsely accused me of pushing her, humph, with someone like her, I feel dirty touching her even once.”

After hearing her account, Yang Zhigang stepped forward and hugged her tenderly, “Don’t take her words to heart. It’s just that they see our family of three living well and are sour grapes about it. As for her false accusations against you…I’ll go out to inquire about the situation. You two eat first…”

Yang Zhigang was not someone who would sit back and do nothing. Knowing his wife and daughter suffered great grievances and false accusations, he guessed that woman surely spread many bad words about his wife outside, fabricating many facts. If this matter was not resolved quickly, she might escalate it with more and more lies, making it hard to clarify later.

After saying this, Yang Zhigang handed his daughter back to her, and quickly left.

Seeing him act like this, Wang Pandi felt much better inside, kissed her daughter’s forehead, and softly asked, “Sweetie, are you hungry? Mommy will serve you some food?”

“No, let’s wait for daddy.” The little girl was truly thoughtful, and all of Wang Pandi’s negative emotions were dispelled by her innocent words and heart.

She couldn’t help but think about the issue of having a son again, feeling that having such a wonderful daughter was really a blessing. She shouldn’t neglect her feelings just because she wanted to have a son. A girl’s time at her mother’s home should be the happiest period in her life… She needed to give her more love.

After leaving home, Yang Zhigang switched into detective mode, quickly arriving at the crime scene, looked around, then focused on the nearest building and started knocking on doors to find witnesses.

Meanwhile, in the factory’s infirmary, a ridiculous yet tragic scene was taking place.

Zhang Hongfang was both in pain and slandering and cursing Wang Pandi, as if it could alleviate her suffering.

The women who accompanied her had mostly left, leaving a few who stayed purely to see the drama.

Oh my, the factory director’s wife pushing a pregnant woman, that’s big news. Whether true or false, no one knew.

If it was false, then Zhang Hongfang was too malicious, but if it was true, would Director Yang divorce Wang Pandi? If they divorced, what benefit would that bring? Did they have any marriageable women at home to introduce to Director Yang? Could they build a connection with him…

Uh… they were thinking quite far ahead.

“Qin Ming, your wife has been bullied like this, and you’re not seeking justice, standing there for what, go quickly…”

Qin Ming rushed in upon receiving the news, just to hear her endlessly ranting, with a surprisingly strong voice.

The infirmary’s doctor wasn’t an obstetrician, never dealt with childbirth, and was a male doctor, so they sent someone outside the factory to the Xiahe Village Committee to find a midwife.

The midwife had never seen a pregnant woman who could shout so much, “Alright, save some strength, the birth canal isn’t fully open yet, if you scream and shout now, what will you do without strength during delivery?”

“What nonsense are you talking about, cursing me?” Zhang Hongfang was unhappy upon hearing the midwife’s words, momentarily forgetting her pain.

However, she still had some sense, knowing that offending the midwife wouldn’t be good if no one helped deliver later, so she offered both carrot and stick, “Help me with the delivery, and you’ll be rewarded.”

But the midwife wasn’t someone without temper, wouldn’t be lured by a verbal promise. Looking at this woman, she wasn’t good, and whoever believed such promises would lose.

She did this job with transparent pricing and didn’t care for her extra charity.

So, the midwife sat there without speaking, just waiting, waiting to cut the umbilical cord after the baby was born.
