Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 290 - 263: The Child Was Taken Away by Your Mom
Just as someone made this speculation in the live broadcast room, before others could discuss it, a loud noise erupted from Youyuan’s side.
It was like some kind of difficult-to-use instrument that, after malfunctioning, produced a sound that was both sharp and eardrum-piercing.
In that instant, they felt extremely uncomfortable.
And as the sound gradually approached, they could hear the content clearly.
"What else can you do at home every day? You can’t even do this one thing right, and you even managed to lose a child?"
"Our old Zheng family must have done something terrible in past lives to end up marrying a woman like you."
"In my opinion! You’re just a jinx! You’ve brought misfortune to our entire family!"
...
Each of those words was more hurtful than the last; the netizens felt like someone was blaming Youyuan’s wife. When the person drew closer, everyone saw a stooped, very thin elderly woman.
"Mom!" Zheng Zheng glanced back and stood up, "Why are you here?"
From his address, everyone realized the identity of the older woman who had just been cursing.
She was the mother that Mu Yunchu had just inquired about.
Zheng Zheng took a couple of steps, pulling his wife, whose eyes were swollen and puffy, behind him, "Mom, please stop blaming Xiao Wen."
"She didn’t do it on purpose either."
"The urgent thing now is to find the child first."
She knew her mother-in-law was anxious too, so she couldn’t say much more.
She just wanted this pointless scolding to end quickly.
[Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but based on my past experience, this mother isn’t a good person.]
[Not just that, ever since I watched the streamer’s live broadcasts, I’ve been very interested in things like face-reading in metaphysics. Just from this old lady’s face, she looks like someone very difficult to get along with.]
[I don’t see any problem, are you all being too sensitive, seeing everyone as a bad person?]
[I think the same, her biological granddaughter is missing, of course she’s anxious. Besides, losing a child while watching over them is such a huge mistake, surely others have the right to speak out on it.]
...
While the netizens were talking in the live broadcast room, Youyuan’s mother was equally busy there.
She kept ranting, spewing all sorts of harsh words, with her hand hovering mid-air, almost eager to poke the young woman’s head in the next second.
"Anyway, I’m making it clear, if you can’t find my granddaughter, then don’t come back yourselves either."
"You both should get a divorce as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Zheng, who had been holding back, finally couldn’t bear it any longer.
"Mom!"
"Can we focus on the urgent matter first?"
Interrupting her with a shout, the old lady looked up, her face full of shock and disbelief.
Clearly in disbelief.
"You, you’re yelling at me because of this woman?"
"I’m your real mom! I carried you for ten months and raised you on my own with great hardship, and now you’re yelling at me for the sake of an outsider!"
[Outsider??? Why does this old lady’s words sound so strange to me?]
[To be honest with you, my mother-in-law is exactly like this, always showing a pitiful side in front of me and my husband, acting like she’s been terribly wronged. As a result, whenever the three of us are together, after that, my husband and I always end up arguing. Sometimes I think she might just as well break us up and be done with it.]
[I know this kind, it’s like their possessiveness over their son is too strong, so when they see their son treating you better than her, they get jealous.]
[...I really don’t understand such mothers, I wish I could have my ten-year-old son get married and move out, so he’ll never come back to bother me.]
...
Zheng Zheng’s expression was full of helplessness.
He had heard this kind of talk so many times before.
Whenever it came to situations like this, his mother would always repeat the same words from start to finish.
He clearly didn’t mean that, but he didn’t know how to respond.
At this moment, Mu Yunchu’s voice slowly came from the phone behind him.
"You don’t need to look for the child."
The three of them: ?
"Because the child was taken away by your mom."
Mu Yunchu’s tone was gentle, but her words were shocking.
[Who? Whose mom?]
[With what she’s said... whose mom could it be among the three of them present?]
Zheng Zheng and his wife were obviously stunned and hadn’t recovered, but the sharp-eyed netizens had already noticed the guilty expression on the old lady’s face.
Once they reacted, Zheng Zheng swiftly turned his head to look at his mother.
The latter was even faster, pointing at Mu Yunchu’s face on the screen and spitting accusations, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
"Who are you? Spouting nonsense here?"
"Do you believe I’ll cut out your tongue?"
But deep inside, she was already scared, and could only shout to cover it up.
Mu Yunchu didn’t answer her question but instead looked at Zheng Zheng’s wife and asked, "Was the child lost while you were looking after her alone?"
The wife didn’t know who Mu Yunchu was; seeing her questioning, she first looked at Zheng Zheng, and after getting his confirmation, she answered, "Yes."
The old lady became even more impatient.
"Then that’s settled."
"There’s nothing more to say."
She seemed afraid that Mu Yunchu would continue to ask questions.
She even wanted to rush forward and grab the phone.
But Zheng Zheng, moving quicker, stopped her.
Mu Yunchu asked again, "When you were watching the child, did anyone call you on the phone?"
This time, Zheng Zheng’s wife still didn’t answer immediately. Because she thought for a moment.
A few seconds later, she opened her mouth slightly, just about to say something, but hesitated when she turned and saw her mother-in-law glaring at her fiercely.
"Speak up?"
Zheng Zheng was puzzled, "The master asked you a question, so answer quickly."
"Mom called me."
Zheng Zheng: ?
"She asked me for some of your document, said it was urgent, and wanted me to find it in the house and take a picture."
As she spoke, she seemed to realize something was amiss too.
"And then... when I came out five minutes later, the child was gone."
Everyone’s expressions changed instantaneously.
If it was a coincidence, it was too much of a coincidence.
It was like someone had been waiting at the door, that the call was intended to lure her away, allowing them to take the child.
Combining it with what Mu Yunchu said, Zheng Zheng had already figured it out.
"You can search her house, the child is still there now."
Mu Yunchu’s words made the old lady, who had wanted to argue, change her attitude immediately.
"Son, you mustn’t believe them."
"These two little bitches must have discussed in advance to drive a wedge between us!"
