Chapter 439 Chu Baiying Returns to Beijing
Aunt Li was probably also very concerned about the Tian family's affairs.
Seeing that Feng Qingqing was interested, he naturally spoke freely and without reservation.
Soon, they learned the general situation of the Tian family.
The head of the Tian family is a staff member in the district education bureau. Although he is conscientious and diligent in his work, there has been no sign of him being promoted.
He's in his forties or fifties, and he's still only at the deputy section chief level.
The middle-aged woman who just walked by was Tian Shengrong's second wife.
The couple had three sons and one daughter, whose daughter had recently gone to the countryside.
The other sons, except for the eldest who moved out after getting married, the other two younger sons, who are not yet married, still live with their parents in the family compound.
It must be said that Tian Shengrong was lucky. His first wife died not long after giving birth due to postpartum weakness and a simple cold.
It is said that at the time, Tian Shengrong saw that the child was too young and had no one to take care of him, so he married the current Chu Baiying.
But fate had other plans. A year after Chu Baiying married into the family, she lost her child while taking him shopping.
This incident caused quite a stir in the family compound at the time, with all sorts of rumors circulating. Some said it was because the stepmother couldn't tolerate the child she had given birth to in her first marriage, while others said the child had been abducted by human traffickers and had nothing to do with Chu Baiying. In short, there were all sorts of rumors.
However, this incident inevitably affected Chu Baiying's reputation in the family compound.
After all, this matter is inextricably linked to her.
Moreover, less than half a year after her child was lost, Chu Baiying gave birth to her eldest son. With the child by her side, she felt even more confident.
Because Tian Shengrong's first wife's parents were capitalists before the liberation, the dowry they gave at the time shocked the entire family compound.
After her death, no one wanted these things back, and they ended up in the hands of the current Chu Baiying.
However, outsiders do not know exactly how much property Tian Shengrong's first wife left him.
Just by looking at Chu Baiying's daily expenses after she married into the family, you can tell that it was no small sum.
But no matter how much outsiders covet it, they can only watch helplessly; there's nothing else they can do.
One can only sigh at Tian Shengrong's good fortune.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qingqing sneered inwardly. What a stroke of luck! He had taken advantage of his ex-wife, yet he was so indifferent to the child left behind by his former lover. Moreover, Chu Baiying was even plotting to completely erase He Yong'an from this world. This shows what kind of people this couple were.
However, now that she's here, she's found their hideout.
Their good days are coming to an end.
Even if she can't completely bring them down this time, making them lose a large sum of money will surely break their hearts.
As the saying goes, poverty-stricken couples face a hundred sorrows. Without money, or rather, with far less money, she didn't believe their lives could still be as comfortable as before.
Then Feng Qingqing asked, seemingly casually:
"That Tian family's first child was so pitiful, just like that, gone. I wonder how heartbroken his biological mother would be if she knew?"
The two women were taken aback when they heard Feng Qingqing say that.
Unexpectedly, this girl brought up the child.
The woman holding the child thought for a moment before slowly beginning to speak:
“I saw that child before he was abducted. He was a very clever boy. It’s so pitiful that he just disappeared like that. It’s not his own child, so he just doesn’t care.”
Upon hearing what the older woman said, Feng Qingqing deliberately spoke in a somewhat mysterious tone:
"Do you think this child was intentionally created by that second wife...?"
She didn't finish her sentence, but her winking and gesturing made the older woman instantly understand what she meant.
"Don't tell me, back then, a lot of people said the same thing. If you ask me, it was probably Chu Baiying who caused all this trouble. What good could that woman possibly have?"
Tian Shengrong goes to work every day and doesn't care about anything else. What does such a small child know? He just does whatever Chu Baiying says.
This family isn't afraid of retribution.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qingqing nodded in agreement. Sure enough, retribution was coming; her family was her retribution.
Before long, the two women, seeing that it was getting late, said goodbye to Feng Qingqing and went home separately.
The place that was just bustling a moment ago was completely deserted in an instant.
She checked the time; it was already past 11:30 a.m.
After thinking for a moment, she took the two children's hands and slowly walked towards the gate.
After greeting the security guard, I headed towards the nearest state-run restaurant.

After returning home, Chu Baiying took off her hat and scarf, changed her clothes, and then went to the kitchen.
Her two younger sons will be coming home for lunch today, so she has to hurry and cook, or she won't have enough time.
Twenty minutes later, the three dishes and soup were served.
A dish of stir-fried cabbage with vinegar and stewed pork with potatoes. The pork was packed from a state-run restaurant yesterday, so it's easy to just heat it up and eat today.
Another dish is stir-fried eggs with wood ear mushrooms.
This dish is so good that it's not just a highlight of the residential compound, but it's a dish that would be considered quite impressive in Beijing.
Just as the food was served, the door was opened from the outside. She thought it was her two sons, but when she looked up, it was her husband.
She was slightly surprised, as her husband never came home for lunch; he would just grab a quick bite in the cafeteria and come back in the evening.
I wonder what brings you back today.
Just as she was about to ask, she heard her two sons playing and fighting in the hallway. Helpless, she could only turn around and go to the kitchen to get the leftovers. She would deal with the rest after she finished eating.
At the dinner table, Chu Baiying saw her two sons wolfing down their food, while she herself, thinking of her daughter far away in the countryside, really had no appetite.
She had just returned from the countryside not long ago, and with her daughter having such a serious accident, she couldn't possibly not go.
But to her surprise, the final result was even worse than she had imagined.
That brat not only messed around with other people, but she even ended up having a child.
She was so angry that she was instantly enraged.
But no matter what, the matter is already settled.
Finally, at her insistence, before the rest of the group could react, she took her daughter to the town hospital and paid a high price to have an abortion.
Because the town hospital had limited resources and medications, they had to have an abortion, which greatly harmed the daughter's health.
The doctor had already subtly informed her that after this abortion, it would be extremely difficult for her daughter to conceive again.
Even with proper care, the chances of conceiving are not high.
Upon hearing this news, she was heartbroken.
Her beautiful daughter, so young, has to suffer such pain and hardship.
