Chapter 212

When this happened in the hospital, some visiting patients had already looked over.

Ma Dean let the nurses around him dispel the patients, and also coaxed them to hurry up and get up and go to an empty ward next door to talk.

"There was a woman who had already given birth to 4 daughters at home and just wanted a son. She gave birth to another daughter yesterday and gave me 200 yuan to get her a son instead," the little nurse said tearfully. "I was just bewildered for a moment and dazzled by the 200 yuan. You asked me to tell everything and I've told you everything. I've also taken the baby to the mother's side. If you want to find the child, just go find her."

According to the place the nurse had said, Pei Jing had already gone over.

An ZhiXian still stood guard here and refused to let the nurse leave. Ma Dean could only wait with them.

When Pei Jing arrived at the maternity ward the nurse had mentioned, he saw that the family was already packing up and preparing to leave.

Zhang Zhi held a baby wrapped up tightly in his arms. Pei Jing first asked to confirm their names. After making sure it was this family, he went up and snatched the child away, and also kicked Zhang Zhi with one foot.

That last kick was deliberately from him, indeed with some personal grudge.

After unwrapping the small quilt wrapping the child, making sure it was a boy, he then re-wrapped the quilt.

"What are you doing? Snatching a child, come on people..." Zhang Zhi crawled up from the ground and shouted loudly, baring his teeth as he charged at Pei Jing, "Give me back my son, you damned..."

The family had only gotten this one son after giving birth to four daughters. The whole family regarded him as the root of their lives and he could not be lost.

Li Xiu, the woman who had just struggled to her feet to stand after giving birth, was also taken aback. She disregarded the fact that her husband Zhang Zhi had just been kicked, and rushed up to try and snatch the baby back.

Luckily Pei Jing still had some consideration. He understood that a woman who had just given birth a child could not move her fists and feet like Zhang Zhi. He could only dodge her pounce. Because of Zhang Zhi's shouting, many patients and their families had also gathered at the door.

If Pei Jing did not have such an imposing manner, and did not look like someone who would steal a child, someone might have already rushed up to subdue him.

"You bribed the nurse to use the girl you just gave birth to and swapped my son for her. The nurse who swapped the babies has already confessed everything. Don't even think about leaving. Doing something so unconscionable, you should just wait to go to the police station and explain," Pei Jing explained everything in a few words, startling everyone outside the door.

To think there would actually be a nurse in the hospital who dared to do such a thing. How could anyone trust this hospital again? Who would dare give birth here again in the future, for fear that their own child would be swapped?

Zhang Zhi was clearly unaware of this matter. He looked at his wife in shock. "Is what he said true? You gave birth to another baby girl? And you actually bribed a nurse to use your baby girl and swap someone else's son? Where did you get those 200 yuan from?"

The woman who had just given birth also did not expect this matter to be exposed. She explained in horror, "No, I didn't swap the baby. Father, believe me, this really is our child. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask the nurse who delivered him yesterday. They must not have made a mistake. I really gave birth to a son."

Zhang Zhi's expression was clearly somewhat hesitant.

Although he did not have a son, he was also unwilling to raise someone else's son.

But his wife had said that this was the child she gave birth to. Was it worth believing?

"Comrade, I think this must be a misunderstanding. As for my wife at home, she doesn't make decisions. She doesn't even have two yuan on her, let alone spending 200 yuan to bribe a nurse. This is simply impossible," Zhang Zhi finally decided that he could not let the other person take the child away. This son that he finally had was hard-earned and he had to make it clear whether it was his own kind or not.

"Let's do this. Let's go together and ask the nurses who delivered the baby yesterday to see if my wife gave birth to a boy or girl."

He definitely wanted to win back a son if that's what the child was. But if it did turn out to be a daughter...

Zhang Zhi looked gloomily at the woman still lying on the ground. If she had actually given birth to another daughter and made plans for him to raise another man's son... then he would have to get rid of this wife.

It could be heard from his words that he was an extremely male chauvinist man who had no tenderness or respect for his wife at all. Otherwise, he would not have ignored his wife who had just given birth, leaving her lying on the ground for so long.

Seeing that Zhang Zhi did not seem to know the truth, it was possible that this was really just the woman acting on her own.

Having lost his child himself, Pei Jing understood this kind of heartache. He could not forcibly take the child away from others.

Luckily the child was already in his arms. He had at least not lost the child again. He nodded in agreement to Zhang Zhi's suggestion.

However, when Zhang Zhi wanted to come over and take the baby, Pei Jing dodged him.

"You come with me to see the dean first, then find the nurses who delivered the baby yesterday to ask questions," Pei Jing said.

Zhang Zhi hurried to keep up. Although he didn't snatch the child back, he still had to keep a close eye on him. He couldn't let anyone take the child out of the hospital.

Before it was confirmed that his wife had given birth to a girl, this was his son. It would be awful to lose him.

The two of them came to the ward together and explained the situation to the dean. The two nurses who had delivered the baby yesterday were quickly found.

But the matter made Pei Jing and An ZhiXian surprised, because the testimonies of the two nurses were consistent that the woman indeed gave birth to a son.

Either these two nurses had also been bribed by the woman, but according to Zhang Zhi's words, the woman did not have so much money.

There was another possibility that the ambulance nurse who swapped the babies was lying.

Seeing the fierce stares around her, the ambulance nurse who was still slumped on the ground quickly defended herself. "I'm not lying. Believe me, I can confront the person who came to me. It was them who gave me money and asked me to swap the baby. Look, the money is still on me!"

She shakily took 200 yuan out of her arms, but no one could focus their minds on money in this situation.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhi was so happy that his mouth was split to his ears. "I said it must be my son. You also heard what they said. My wife did indeed give birth to a son. After having 4 daughters, she should have a son sooner or later. Hurry and give my child back to me!"

He walked forward to take the child from Pei Jing's arms, and decided not to fuss about the pain from the two kicks just now after seeing how pitiful this man was from losing his child.

"Sorry, there are still many doubts about this matter. I can't hand the child over to you for now," Pei Jing was still unwilling to hand over the child. He grabbed the key point and asked the wheelchair nurse, "Who are 'they' that you mentioned? Besides the mother who asked you to swap babies, was there another person?"

Li Xiu, who had struggled to rush over, had already pushed the door open. "I said, I can tell you all, please give me back my child. I really didn't swap your family's child, I swear, really..."

"You damned woman, what on earth is going on? Hurry up and explain it to them clearly!" Zhang Zhi was anxious to get his son back, and his anger showed on his face at this time. "You better give me an honest explanation. Did these two nurses take your bribe or not? Otherwise why would they bite us for no reason?”

He couldn’t help but become suspicious again. If he took the child back and raised the wrong child who wasn’t his own, wouldn’t he suffer a great loss?

Zhang Zhi was only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, not yet at an age where he couldn’t have children. There was no reason to raise another man’s son.

If it really wasn't his own kind, he would rather go back and try for another child instead of being a cheap dad to someone else.
