On the first night of her marriage, she was hospitalized

Chapter 246: It May Be Hard to Keep It Secret

She took a few steps back holding the swaddling clothes.

"No, don't bother Doctor Zhang."

Both her expression and tone showed that she was unsure.

In fact, this was not like Xu Hongmei's character. After all, she was a well-known tough guy in the family compound. Not to mention facing just one Zhang Yuan, even if she faced more than a dozen people, she would still throw tantrums and act like a rogue.

The only explanation for her current abnormal behavior is that she has something to hide.

Zhang Yuan didn't say anything more to Xu Hongmei. Instead, he simply nodded in greeting and walked forward to open the swaddling clothes.

Xu Hongmei wanted to retreat, but Jiang Tang blocked her way.

She could only watch Zhang Yuan lift the cloth from the swaddling clothes.

The baby with a livid face appeared in front of everyone.

It was indeed a newborn baby, but the cause of her death was not as Xu Hongmei said, that she died at birth.

Zhang Yuan only took a quick examination and determined that the child had died of suffocation.

Xu Hongmei's eyes turned, and she immediately explained, "The weather was so cold, and Lihua accidentally pressed the quilt on her head when she was sleeping..."

This explanation is also reasonable.

In winter, there are cases where adults are not careful when sleeping and suffocate their newborn babies.

But did Xu Lihua’s daughter really die in this way?
Then I will be confused.

No matter what, someone died in the family compound. Even if the person was just a very young child, the family compound management office would not just ignore it after knowing about it.

They went to Xu Lihua's house to investigate.

I want to know how this child died.

If it is true as Xu Hongmei said, their management office will apply for some consolation subsidies for Xu Lihua.

Xu Hongmei had no way to stop them, so the comrades from the management office went towards Xu Lihua's house.

As for the swaddling clothes in Xu Hongmei's arms, she cannot throw them away as she wishes. Before the matter is investigated thoroughly, I'm afraid the child cannot be buried in peace for the time being.

Comrades from the management office have taken over the matter, and it has nothing to do with Jiang Tang and the others.

The three of them turned around and walked home.

It was already dark by this time.

They were delayed in getting home to cook, but fortunately, neither He Lihua nor Liu Qihong were too worried.

Before they left, their sons had already returned home.

They were responsible for taking care of the children and cooking, which was the main reason why they dared to be so confident and bold in going to the town to buy fish.

When the three of them arrived at the door, they separated and went into their respective homes.

Lu Changzheng has already prepared the meal.

Seeing his wife and mother come in, he came forward to take their things and asked them why they came back so late.
He didn't know what was happening outside.

"Is there anything going on at Tangtang Factory?"

"No!"

With a smile on his face, Jiang Tang explained to Lu Changzheng in a cheerful tone what had just happened.

After saying this, she did not forget to express her suspicions about Xu Hongmei and the others.

Lu Changzheng frowned.

"Tangtang is saying that the child was probably killed intentionally by them?"

"Look at the adults' reactions, they're very similar."

Jiang Tang washed his hands carefully with soap and prepared to eat.

Although she saw a dead child, her tone was still calm and her expression was very relaxed.

It seemed like he was talking about something insignificant. Lu Changzheng nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.

He Lihua, who was standing by, didn't know whether to cry or laugh when she saw the looks of her son and daughter-in-law.

They are really too calm.

The passing of a life doesn't seem to make them sigh or lament!
Looking at herself, she now feels a little uncomfortable.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the son and daughter-in-law are bad. Everyone has a different temperament. They are just like this, a perfect match!
He Lihua shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

After the Lu family finished their meal, Lu Changzheng cleared the table and the family moved to the living room, where the adults warmed themselves by the fire and the children played nearby.

A one year and four month old child can already walk very flexibly.

He Lihua looked at her three grandsons with love in her heart and eyes.

She inadvertently thought of the swaddling clothes that Xu Hongmei was holding, and the dark-faced child inside the swaddling clothes... If she lived well, it wouldn't be long before she was old enough to play happily...

The news of a dead baby in the family compound spread quickly throughout the compound.

Jiang Tang went to work in the morning and heard a lot of people discussing it on the bus.

They were talking about all kinds of speculations and the discussion was very lively.

Jiang Tang sat quietly in the last row of the bus, listening to their heated discussion.

It’s snowing outside again, and it’s not too long before the New Year holiday!

This is the family compound.

Xu Lihua’s man is named Ma Weiguo, and he is a company commander.

Yesterday, comrades from the Family Compound Management Office came to their home to investigate the situation. He happened to be on night shift, so he didn't know what happened at home.

When he came home from get off work today, he saw many aunts pointing and talking, and he felt confused.

"Captain Ma..."

The courageous and nosy aunt simply stepped forward and blocked Ma Weiguo's way.

"Captain Ma, was your second child really crushed to death by the quilt? Or did you and your wife no longer want the little girl and secretly strangled her to death?"

"What did you say?"

Ma Weiguo's face turned pale, and his expression was very serious. "Auntie, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean? Xiao Ma, you don't know yet, do you? Your second child is gone. Yesterday evening, many comrades went to your house to investigate!" This 'enthusiastic' aunt started talking and described what happened yesterday evening with exaggeration.

The more Ma Weiguo listened, the darker his face became.

By the time the aunt finished speaking, his face had become so dark that water could have squeezed out of it.

"Little Pony, you say..."

My aunt is still talking.

But Ma Weiguo no longer wanted to listen and walked quickly towards his home.

He now wants to figure out what exactly happened at home?
Why was the child who was fine when he left suddenly disappeared?
In the camp.

Lu Changzheng was called over by his leader.

After talking about work, the leader mentioned the matter of the family compound.

"Your master's wife is very concerned and wants to know how the child died." Luo Zhenxing said.

Xia Qiuju also heard about what happened in the family compound yesterday.

She muttered a few words to Luo Zhenxing before she went to bed last night.

Lu Changzheng did not make a statement immediately. "Ma Weiguo has gone home after get off work. If you want to know what happened, it should be enough to ask him."

"Ok?"

Luo Zhenxing smiled and raised his eyes, his gaze falling on the tall student in front of him, "There are no outsiders here, tell me, what do you think? Did Ma Weiguo's second daughter really die in an accident?"
