Li Liangâs mother came over, grabbed Hua Huaâs hand, and quickly walked away. Meanwhile, Qiu Hualan, not hearing a response from the child, was relentless and hurriedly chased after them.
"Child? Child, whatâs your name, whereâs your mom? Is this person really your grandma?"
"Hey, hey, Iâm telling you, woman, whatâs the idea of chasing my grandson in broad daylight with questions? Let me warn you, youâd better let go of my grandsonâs hand, or Iâll call for help." Li Liangâs mother thought this woman seemed a bit abnormal; she kept following Hua Hua, asking for the childâs name and mother. Something definitely felt odd here, making her suspect that people from the Capital City had come. Could it be they regretted and wanted the child back?
Qiu Hualan ignored her, grabbed Hua Huaâs arm urgently, and asked, "Hua Hua, do you know a woman named Ye Qing, do you know her? How about Mei Langchi? Are they your parents?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Huaâs heart surged with joy, and he quickly nodded with a smile, "My mom is called Ye Qing, I miss my mom." At the mention of his mom, Hua Huaâs eyes immediately turned red, and the tears twinkling in his eyes made him incredibly pitiful.
This sight broke Qiu Hualanâs heart. Fully convinced now, she was sure this old woman had abducted her grandson, "Guangjun, Guangjun, quick, report this to the police, this is my grandson Hua Hua. This woman must have taken the child when Ah Qing and Langchi werenât looking; luckily, we saw him today." She hurriedly pulled Hua Hua along, saying, "My dear Hua Hua, Iâm your grandma, you know I raised you when you were little."
"Grandma?" Hua Hua was puzzled for a moment, remembering how his mom mentioned that he was raised by his grandma when he was little.
Upon realizing this woman wasnât from the Mei Family, but Hua Huaâs grandma, Li Liangâs mother refused to believe she was really Hua Huaâs grandma. According to Ye Qing, she hailed from the countryside, and her mom ought to be back in their rural hometown; how could she be here?
She must know something about them, have known Hua Huaâs mom, and now wanted to take advantage of this loophole to abduct her grandson.
"What are you doing? This is my grandson, when did he become your grandson? My grandson doesnât have a grandma. Let go of him... someone please help us, theyâre trying to kidnap the child!" Li Liangâs mother grasped the childâs hand and sat down on the ground, pulling the child while calling out to the surrounding people, instantly attracting bystanders.
Qiu Hualan, too, squatted down, holding onto Hua Huaâs other arm. She wasnât about to be outdone, and promptly explained, "Everyone, I am the childâs grandma. I raised this child from a young age. My grandson has parents, has grandparents; his real grandma is in the Capital City. This woman abducted my grandson, and I was lucky to catch her today. Donât fall for this old womanâs deception."
"Youâre the kidnapper here; this is my biological grandson. If you donât believe me, ask around on * Street where we live; all our neighbors know us. We even have a paternity test. This woman was following us, forcibly claiming my grandson as her own, trying to take him away. Please, everyone help me, an old lady, donât let yourselves be deceived by her!"
Qiu Hualan wouldnât be easily beaten; she turned to Hua Hua, saying, "Sweet Hua Hua, tell me, how did this woman pretending to be your grandma take you away from mom? Be brave, donât be afraid, Iâm your grandma, your momâs mom."
Hua Hua, hearing this, scratched his head in confusion and said, "I do have a real grandma. That day, my parents werenât home, and it was grandma who took me to kindergarten. My current grandma is our familyâs nanny grandma. Itâs this grandma who brought me here. They told me my real grandma doesnât want me anymore, my dad doesnât want me, and said my mom went crazy, claiming theyâre my real grandparents. But I know I have grandparents."
Hua Huaâs ambiguous explanation made it clear to the onlookers; they all concluded that Li Liangâs mother had taken someone elseâs child.
"Everyone, listen to what my grandson says, you should understand now. This woman abducted my grandson. My daughter mentioned a few months ago that she wanted to see me, and suddenly, she stopped contacting me. I called, but no one answers. I was just wondering what happened and intended to visit, but if I hadnât seen my grandson today, I wouldnât have known he was kidnapped. My daughter and her family must be out there searching, going hungry and thirsty. You heartless bastards. Theyâve deceived my poor child."
